ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
  SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED ("SECURITY CAPITAL") is a real estate
research, investment and operating management company. Security Capital
operates its businesses through two divisions. The Capital Division generates
EBDADT (earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes)
principally from its pro rata ownership of private and public strategic real
estate operating company investments. The Services Division derives EBDADT
through service fees from the Real Estate Research Group, Global Capital
Management Group and Financial Services Group. The Capital Division accounted
for 91.9% and the Services Division accounted for 8.1% of Security Capital's
$214.28 million of reported EBDADT for 1997. At December 31, 1997, Security
Capital's fully converted shareholders' equity, based on fair value, was $4.384
billion.
 
  The CAPITAL DIVISION'S Global Strategic Group ("GSG") provides business
strategy and operating and capital deployment oversight to the companies in
which Security Capital has direct and indirect strategic ownership positions.
Since its inception, GSG has directed significant expenditures, both in the
U.S. and internationally, in research and development to create new, fully
integrated, value-added operating companies with proprietary customer-delivery
systems. GSG works closely with the management of affiliated private start-up
and public investees to ensure their long-term sustainable cash flow growth. At
December 31, 1997, GSG oversaw strategic investments in 14 private and public
real estate operating companies focused in international distribution, multi-
family housing, neighborhood infill shopping centers, city center retail,
parking, corporate office, self-storage, hotels and corporate extended stay
lodging. GSG also oversees several new niche businesses that are currently at
various stages of research and development. These operating companies had a
combined total market capitalization of $18.66 billion at December 31, 1997.
 
  The SERVICES DIVISION'S Real Estate Research Group ("RERG") conducts
proprietary real estate research and provides analyses of long-term market
conditions and short-term trends to Security Capital's affiliates. The Global
Capital Management Group ("GCMG") manages capital invested in real estate
securities with both short to intermediate-term and long-term investment
objectives. At December 31, 1997, GCMG provided real estate securities
management for four entities with total assets under management of $3.548
billion. The Financial Services Group ("FSG") provides administrative and
capital markets services to various affiliated operating companies and
investment entities.
 
                            [ORGANIZATIONAL CHART]
 
  As of December 31, 1997, Security Capital employed 424 people at the
corporate level, and its affiliated operating companies employed 6,206 people.
The principal offices of Security Capital and its directly owned affiliates are
in Atlanta, Brussels, Chicago, Denver, El Paso, London, Luxembourg, New York
and Santa Fe.

  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's operating strategy is intended to maximize EBDADT* as
follows:
 
                             [EBDADT GROWTH CHART]
 
  * EBDADT represents earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred
    taxes. EBDADT should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings
    or any other generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
    measurement of performance as an indicator of Security Capital's
    operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating,
    investing or financing activities as a measure of Security Capital's
    liquidity.
 
  Through December 31, 1997, Security Capital has invested an aggregate of
approximately $2.33 billion in the common shares of Security Capital Pacific
Trust ("PTR"), Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"), Security Capital U.S. Realty ("SC-
USREALTY") and Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead"). Those securities
had an aggregate market value of approximately $3.57 billion (based on the
closing prices of those securities on the principal exchanges on which the
securities are listed on December 31, 1997).

SECURITY CAPITAL REAL ESTATE RESEARCH GROUP (RERG)
 
  RERG produces real estate research for both the Global Capital Management
Group and the Global 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 GLOBAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT GROUP (GCMG)
 
  GCMG manages or advises capital invested either in focused funds or in
strategic operating companies that seek to maximize total return over an
intermediate time horizon of up to 42 months. GCMG'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. GCMG, through its clients, 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. GCMG clients will generally take
ownership positions ranging from 0.5% to 4.99% of the equity securities of its
investees, except with respect to Security Capital Preferred Growth
Incorporated ("SC-PG") and SC-USREALTY, which may take larger ownership
positions.
 
  GCMG currently provides investment research and advice to Security Capital
(EU) Management S.A., the advisor to SC-USREALTY, in connection with certain
investments in publicly traded companies. In addition, GCMG currently manages
Security Capital U.S. Real Estate Shares ("SC-US") and SC-PG.
 
  .  Security Capital U.S. Realty: Special Opportunity Positions. SC-USREALTY
     is primarily a strategic operating company. See "--Security Capital
     Global Strategic Group--Security Capital U.S. Realty." It also utilizes
     some of its capital to invest on an intermediate basis. In this
     capacity, it identifies publicly traded companies with solid growth
     prospects and invests, through a wholly owned subsidiary, with the
     objective of realizing attractive total returns through dividends and
     share price appreciation. As of December 31, 1997, the SC-USREALTY
     Special Opportunity Positions had a fair market value of $608.7 million.
     For the period from December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1997, the SC-
     USREALTY Special Opportunity Positions achieved a compound annual total
     return of approximately 42.6%, 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. The compound annual
     total return has been calculated based on the following principal
     assumptions: (i) investments were made on the dates SC-USREALTY Special
     Opportunity Positions made its investments, (ii) dividends or other
     distributions, if any, were immediately reinvested and (iii) the per
     share value of the investments on December 31, 1997 is represented by
     the closing sales price of the shares on such date on the principal
     stock exchanges 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 U.S. Real Estate Shares Incorporated ("SC-US"). SC-US
     is a highly focused, no-load real estate mutual fund that seeks to
     provide shareholders with above average returns, including current
     income and capital appreciation through investments in publicly traded
     real estate securities in the United States. SC-US'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 by integrating in-depth proprietary real estate market
     research with sophisticated capital markets research and modeling
     techniques. As of December 31, 1997, Security Capital had invested $100
     million in SC-US. As of December 31, 1997, SC-US had $117.9 million of
     assets under management. For the period from December 31, 1996 to
     December 31, 1997, SC-US achieved a per annum total return of
     approximately 25.2%, as measured in the manner required by the
     Commission for U.S. mutual funds, after the deduction of fees and
     expenses. The annual total return has been calculated based on the
     following principal assumptions: (i) investments were made on the dates
     SC-US made its investments, (ii) dividends or other distributions, if
     any, were immediately reinvested and (iii) the per share value of the
     investments on December 31, 1997 is represented by the closing sales
     price of the shares on such date on the principal stock exchanges 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 Preferred Growth Incorporated ("SC-PG"). SC-PG is a
     private real estate company investing on an intermediate basis primarily
     in the convertible securities of public and private real estate
     companies that can benefit from SC-PG's capital and operating guidance.
     SC-PG utilizes a proprietary investment process to identify, analyze and
     structure privately negotiated investments in real estate companies with
     strong prospects for growth over the intermediate term. As of December
     31, 1997, SC-PG had existing commitments of $73.8 million and $471.2
     million of investments in seven public and private real estate operating
     companies. Security Capital has committed to invest $80 million in SC-
     PG. As of December 31, 1997, Security Capital owned 12.9% of SC-PG.
 
  .  Security Capital European Real Estate Shares Incorporated ("SC-E"). SC-E
     is a highly focused, no-load real estate mutual fund that seeks to
     provide shareholders with above average returns, including current
     income and capital appreciation through investments in real estate
     securities in Europe. SC-E is domiciled in the United States. Long term,
     SC-E's objective is to achieve top quartile total returns as compared to
     other mutual funds that invest primarily in real estate securities in
     Europe by integrating in-depth proprietary real estate market research
     with sophisticated capital markets research and modeling techniques. SC-
     E commenced operations in September 1997. GCMG serves as both investment
     adviser and administrator to SC-E. Security Capital has committed to
     invest $25 million in SC-E. At December 31, 1997, SC-E had $16 million
     of assets under management.

SECURITY CAPITAL GLOBAL STRATEGIC GROUP (GSG)
 
  GSG provides business strategy and operating and capital deployment
oversight to the companies in which Security Capital has direct or indirect
strategic ownership positions. Security Capital plans to pursue 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 SC-USREALTY and indirect investments made by SC-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 December 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 Trust ("PACIFIC RETAIL"), the last private equity
    offering price. See "--Operating Companies' Market Price Information and
    Financial Performance."
(2) As of December 31, 1997, Security Capital's percentage ownerships in its
    investees, based on common shares outstanding on such date, were 33.1% of
    PTR, 49.9% of ATLANTIC, 65.0% of Homestead, 42.5% of SCI and 32.9% of SC-
    USREALTY. Equity market capitalization, as of December 31, 1997, based on
    common shares outstanding was $2.26 billion for PTR, $1.01 billion for
    ATLANTIC, $419 million for Homestead, $3.05 billion for SCI and $2.46
    billion for SC-USREALTY.
(3) Ownership of Homestead assumes that all convertible mortgage notes have
    been funded and converted into shares of Homestead common stock. Ownership
    of Homestead does not include any ownership Security Capital may obtain in
    Homestead upon conversion of convertible mortgage notes owned by PTR and
    ATLANTIC through funding commitment agreements.
(4) The European management and Board of Directors of SC-USREALTY receive
    operating and investment advice from Security Capital (EU) Management
    S.A., which subcontracts certain research and advisory activities from its
    affiliates GCMG and GSG.
(5) This company is an investee of SC-USREALTY through its subsidiary and is
    not directly advised by Security Capital. The ownership percentage
    reflected is that of SC-USREALTY.
 
  For further information with respect to (i) Security Capital's direct
ownership interests in PTR, ATLANTIC, Homestead, SCI and SC-USREALTY, (ii) the
historical high and low sale prices of the common shares for such companies,
as well as the cash dividends declared by such companies, and (iii) Security
Capital's unrealized appreciation in its investment in the securities of such
companies, see "--Operating Companies' Market Price Information and Financial
Performance."
 
  For purposes of the following discussion, references to "compound annual
returns" for PTR, ATLANTIC, Homestead, SCI and SC-USREALTY have been
calculated based on the following principal assumptions: (i) the
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
beginning date of the measurement period is the date on which Security Capital
made its first investment (and, in the case of PTR, became the REIT manager
thereof), (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 December 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 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 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

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 systems and human capital 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
announced in 1995 as SC-USREALTY. As of December 31, 1997, SC-USREALTY had an
equity market capitalization of $2.46 billion. See "--Security Capital Global
Strategic Group--Security Capital U.S. Realty."
 
  After four years of research and development, Security Capital announced the
formation of Homestead in 1996. As of December 31, 1997, approximately $280.9
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 mortgage loans 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 December 31, 1997, Homestead had an equity market
capitalization of $878 million. See "--Security Capital Global Strategic
Group--Homestead Village Incorporated."
 
  Security Capital is considering several new business initiatives in which it
has recently made or agreed to make investments. While none of these
initiatives is material at present to Security Capital's results of operations
or financial condition, an important new component of Security Capital's
future growth is expected to come from these and future new business
initiatives which are in varying stages of research and development. No
assurances can be given that these initiatives will be successful.

EMPLOYEES
 
  As of December 31, 1997, Security Capital employed 424 personnel at the
corporate level, and its affiliated operating companies employed 6,206
persons. None of Security Capital's employees are covered by collective
bargaining agreements. 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. Security Capital's operating companies compete on a regional and
national basis with no individual market material to Security Capital as a
whole. 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 Security Capital 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 securities investment management firms can
be formed with relatively small amounts of capital and depend most
significantly on the continued involvement of their professional staff.
Security Capital believes that competition among real estate securities
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
 
  Security Capital uses a number of trademarks, including "Security Capital"
and variants thereof. All trademarks, service marks and copyright
registrations associated with the business of Security Capital are registered
in the name of Security Capital and, if not maintained, expire over various
periods of time beginning in 2005. Certain variants of the name Security
Capital have been licensed to ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI. Security Capital intends
to defend vigorously against infringement of its trademarks, service marks and
copyrights.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS DURING 1997
 
 Initial Public Offering
 
  Security Capital closed its initial public offering on September 17, 1997,
raising net proceeds of approximately $591.7 million from the sale of
22,569,710 Class B Shares at a price of $28.00 per share. The proceeds from
the offering were used to partially repay outstanding bank indebtedness, to
invest in new businesses and for working capital.
 
 Internalization of Management of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI
 
  Prior to September 1997, each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI was externally
managed by companies owned by Security Capital. On March 24, 1997, Security
Capital and each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI entered into Merger and Issuance
Agreements with Security Capital (the "Merger Agreements"). The shareholders
of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI approved their respective Merger Agreements on
September 8, 1997. Pursuant to the Merger Agreements, on September 9, 1997,
Security Capital caused 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 (the "Mergers") with
the result that all personnel employed in the REIT management and property
management businesses became officers and employees of the REITs,
respectively, as follows:
 
  .  Security Capital transferred its interests in its wholly owned
     subsidiaries, Security Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated (the "ATLANTIC
     REIT Manager") and SCG Realty Services Atlantic Incorporated (the
     "ATLANTIC Property Manager") (which provided Security Capital's REIT
     management and property management services to ATLANTIC), to a newly
     formed subsidiary of ATLANTIC in exchange for 2,306,591 shares of
     ATLANTIC's common stock.
 
  .  Security Capital transferred its interests in its wholly owned
     subsidiaries, Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the "PTR REIT
     Manager") and SCG Realty Services Incorporated (the "PTR Property
     Manager") (which provided Security Capital's REIT management and
     property management services to PTR), to a newly formed subsidiary of
     PTR in exchange for 3,295,533 common shares of PTR.
 
  .  Security Capital transferred its interests in its wholly owned
     subsidiaries, Security Capital Industrial Incorporated (the "SCI REIT
     Manager") and SCI Client Services Incorporated (the "SCI Property
     Manager") (which provided Security Capital's REIT management and
     property management services to SCI), to a newly formed subsidiary of
     SCI in exchange for 3,692,023 common shares of SCI.
 
  .  Security Capital licensed to each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI the
     trademarks and tradenames used in their respective businesses.
 
  .  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 conducted a rights offering
     entitling its common shareholders, other than Security Capital, to
     purchase additional common shares. The rights offering price was at a
     discount to the price at which shares were issued to Security Capital
     under the respective Merger Agreements.
 
  .  As part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements,
     Security Capital issued, pro rata, warrants (the "Warrants") to acquire
     8,928,572 Class B Shares 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. The Warrants were issued as an
     incentive for the common shareholders of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI to vote
     in favor of the transactions, to broaden Security Capital's shareholder
     base, to enable Security Capital to raise additional equity capital at a
     relatively low cost through the exercise of Warrants and to enable
     Security Capital to raise additional equity capital in the long run by
     preserving and enhancing its goodwill with the shareholders of ATLANTIC,
     PTR and SCI. The Warrants have an exercise price equal to $28.00, the
     price of the Class B Shares in the initial public offering. The Warrants
     are listed on the NYSE
 
                                      13
<PAGE>
 
     under the symbol "SCZ-WS". The Warrants expire September 18, 1998 and
     contain customary provisions to protect holders from dilution in certain
     events including certain distributions and certain sales of shares at
     less than market price.
 
 Redemption of Convertible Debentures
 
  On December 1, 1997, Security Capital redeemed all $715.8 million of its 12%
convertible subordinated debentures due 2014 ("2014 Convertible Debentures")
at a redemption price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of 2014
Convertible Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest through December 1,
1997. In lieu of redemption, substantially all holders converted their 2014
Convertible Debentures into an aggregate of 684,349 Class A Shares at the
conversion price of $1,046 per share.
 
 New Business Initiatives
 
  During 1997, Security Capital had several new business initiatives which
became operational during the year, including SHC, SC-PG, SC-GR and SC-US.
During 1997, SC-USREALTY also had several new business initiatives, including
PSI, UGP and CCRT. See "Business--Security Capital Global Capital Management
Group" and "--Security Capital Global Strategic Group." Security Capital and
SC-USREALTY have several other new business initiatives which are in various
stages of research and development. Security Capital's policy is to announce
new business initiatives following extensive research and development and
after Security Capital has committed to make investments in excess of $25
million in the new business. 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 new business initiatives will be continued or prove successful.
 
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OPERATING COMPANIES
 
  During 1997, Security Capital was a party to the following agreements with
its affiliated real estate operating companies:
 
 ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI
 
  REIT Management Agreements Prior to the Mergers, the ATLANTIC REIT Manager,
the PTR REIT Manager and the SCI REIT Manager (collectively, the "REIT
Managers") were owned by Security Capital. The services provided or
coordinated by the REIT Managers for ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI included 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
were included in the fee paid to the REIT Managers by the REITs. The aggregate
REIT management fees were $39.4 million for 1997. The REIT management
agreements were terminated on September 9, 1997 and all employees of the REIT
Managers became employees of their respective REIT.
 
 Property Management Agreements
 
  Prior to the Mergers, the ATLANTIC Property Manager, the PTR Property
Manager and the SCI Property Manager (collectively, the "Property Managers")
were owned by Security Capital. At July 31, 1997, the ATLANTIC Property
Manager managed approximately 92.6% of ATLANTIC's multifamily units, the PTR
Property Manager managed approximately 94.6% of PTR's multifamily units and
the SCI Property Manager managed approximately 95.6% of SCI's operating
portfolio. Aggregate fees paid to the Property Managers under the agreements
were $23.9 million for 1997. The agreements were terminated on September 9,
1997 and all employees of the Property Managers became employees of their
respective REIT.
 
 Investor Agreements
 
  On September 9, 1997, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI each amended and restated their
respective investor agreement with Security Capital, which provide that,
without first having consulted with the nominees of Security
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
Capital designated in writing, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI may not seek Board of
Directors or Trustees approval of (i) their 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 their
business where the aggregate purchase price to be paid or received by the REIT
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 the REIT in excess of $1 million. ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI are 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, PTR or SCI, Security Capital has the right to
approve the following matters proposed by the REIT: (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, the REIT'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 the REIT or any securities convertible into shares
of the REIT may be issued and any action with respect to the compensation of
the senior officers of the REIT (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, the REIT'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 the REIT pursuant to the
provisions of any benefit plan approved by the shareholders of the REIT, (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 September 9, 1997 or in
accordance with the provisions of the agreement, (C) the issuance and sale of
any shares of the REIT pursuant to any dividend reinvestment and share
purchase plan approved by the REIT's Board of Directors or Trustees or (D) the
issuance, grant or distribution of rights, options or warrants to all holders
of common shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the
REIT or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares.
 
  The agreements also provide that, so long as Security Capital owns at least
10% of the outstanding common shares, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI may not increase
the number of persons serving on its Board of Directors or Trustees to more
than seven (eight for PTR). Security Capital also is entitled to designate one
or more persons as Directors or Trustees of the REIT, 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 bears approximately the same
ratio to the total number of members of the Board of Directors or Trustees as
the number of common shares beneficially owned by Security Capital bears to
the total number of outstanding common shares, provided that, Security Capital
is entitled to designate no more than three persons so long as the Board of
Directors or Trustees consists of no more than seven members (eight for PTR).
 
  As part of the investor agreements, Security Capital may make employment
opportunities with Security Capital or its affiliates available to the
officers and employees of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI. Prior to commencing
discussions with a senior officer of ATLANTIC, PTR or SCI about any such
opportunity, Security Capital must give the REIT's Board of Directors or
Trustees 14 days' prior written notice.
 
  In addition, the investor agreements provide 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 of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). Security Capital may request one such
registration for every $100 million (based on market value) of common shares
of the REIT it owns.
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
  In addition to the above provisions, the PTR investor agreement restricts
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.
 
 Administrative Services Agreements
 
  On September 9, 1997, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI each entered into an
administrative services agreement with Security Capital, pursuant to which
Security Capital provides the REITs with certain administrative and other
services with respect to certain aspects of their business, as selected from
time to time by the REIT 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
are equal to Security Capital's direct cost of providing such services plus
20% for overhead subject to a maximum amount of approximately $5.2 million for
ATLANTIC, $7.7 million for PTR and $7.1 million for SCI during the initial
term of the agreement, of which approximately $1.5 million for ATLANTIC, $2.2
million for PTR and $2.0 million for SCI applied to the period between
September 9, 1997 and December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to 1998.
Fees earned under the administrative services agreements during 1997 were $0.7
million for ATLANTIC, $1.2 million for PTR and $1.1 million for SCI. Cost
savings under these agreements accrue to the REITs. The agreements are 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 REIT's Board of Directors or Trustees.
 
 License Agreements
 
  On September 9, 1997, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI each entered into a license
agreement with Security Capital pursuant to which Security Capital granted the
REITs 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 is for a period of 15 years, subject to the REIT's right to extend the
license for up to two additional five-year periods.
 
 Protection of Business Agreements
 
  On September 9, 1997, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI each entered into a protection
of business agreement with Security Capital, which prohibits Security Capital
and its affiliates from providing, anywhere within the United States, directly
or indirectly, substantially the same services as those previously provided by
the REIT Managers and the Property Managers to any entity that owns or
operates multifamily or distribution properties. The agreements do not
prohibit Security Capital or its affiliates from owning the securities of any
class of ATLANTIC, PTR or SCI. The agreements 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
the REIT and (ii) the percentage of outstanding voting securities of the REIT
owned directly or indirectly by Security Capital and its affiliates, in either
case without the prior written consent of the REIT's Board of Directors or
Trustees. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the preceding sentence,
the agreements will terminate on September 9, 2000.
 
 Homestead
 
  Homestead Protection of Business Agreement
 
  ATLANTIC, PTR and Security Capital entered into a protection of business
agreement with Homestead, dated as of October 17, 1996, 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%
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
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 properties, whether or
not such person owns, operates, develops, manages or 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 subsidiary,
division, group, franchise or segment of which is engaged in owning,
operating, developing, managing or leasing multifamily communities, so long as
not more than 5% of such person's consolidated revenues are derived 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 agreement will terminate on October 17, 2006.
 
  Homestead Investor Agreement
 
  Homestead and Security Capital have entered into an investor agreement,
dated as of October 17, 1996, which required 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. Security Capital exercised all of its Homestead warrants
prior to their expiration in October 1997. Homestead may call for the exercise
of such warrants by Security Capital upon 10 days' prior written notice. The
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 received
exceeds $5 million, (iv) new contracts with a service provider (A) for
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 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 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.
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
  In addition, the agreement provides Security Capital with registration
rights pursuant to which, in certain specified circumstances, Security Capital
may request, 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 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

ITEM 2. 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 affiliates also have administrative offices in El Paso, Texas. The
Santa Fe office is leased from an unaffiliated third party and the El Paso
offices are leased from SCI at an annual rental of $676,004. 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).
Security Capital believes its properties are adequately insured. Although SCI,
PTR, ATLANTIC, Homestead and SHC own an extensive number of properties, no
single property is materially important to Security Capital and its
affiliates.
 
PROPERTIES OF THE DIRECT INVESTEES
 
  The following discussion sets forth, with respect to the operating companies
in which Security Capital has a direct ownership, the markets in which each of
such companies operates as well as a description of the general competitive
conditions faced by such companies. No single property is materially important
to any of the direct investees, and there are no mortgages, liens or other
encumbrances against any properties which are material to any such operating
company. Whereas none of the direct investeees has at present any material
plans for the renovation or improvement of properties in operation, each
direct investee budgets for regular maintenance, repair and upgrades to its
properties. As set forth below, each such company, except SHC, is actively
engaged in the development of additional properties. In the opinion of
management of Security Capital, the properties of the direct investees are
adequately covered by insurance.

  PTR selectively develops multifamily communities where land costs,
demographics and market trends indicate a high likelihood of achieving
sustainable operating results and consistent cash flow growth. This
disciplined approach to development has produced multifamily property
developments with desired characteristics including state-of-the-art product,
locations with limited competing product and attractive returns. Through
December 31, 1997, completed development communities, communities under
construction and communities in planning and owned represented 44.87% of PTR's
multifamily portfolio, based on total expected investment. At December 31,
1997, PTR's multifamily development portfolio consisted of the following:

  There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with PTR in seeking land for development,
communities for acquisition and disposition and residents for communities. All
of PTR's multifamily communities are located in developed areas that include
other multifamily communities. The number of competitive multifamily
communities in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on PTR's
ability to lease units and on the rents charged. In addition, other forms of
single family and multifamily residential communities provide housing
alternatives to residents and potential residents of PTR's multifamily
communities.

  The Southern California and Northern California markets have attractive
economic fundamentals which have produced revenue growth for PTR. Rent growth
in California markets has resulted from strong demand caused by job growth,
high occupancy rates and limited new supply of multifamily units in most
markets (Source: California REALFACTS). Permit levels for multifamily units
continued to increase in certain California markets which may lead to a
greater level of supply in certain of those markets in 1998. Occupancy rates
and rent growth for Phoenix remained stable to firmer in 1997. Permit levels
for Phoenix continue to rise indicating greater additions to inventory in
1998. The Seattle market has attractive economic fundamentals that have
produced revenue growth for PTR. Strong demand caused by job growth coupled
with limited new supply has provided rent growth for PTR. Permit levels for
Seattle continue to rise indicating greater additions to inventory in 1998.

  ATLANTIC has selectively developed multifamily communities where land costs
and demographic and market trends indicate a high likelihood of achieving
attractive, sustainable operating results. Through December 31, 1997,
ATLANTIC's completed developed communities and its owned communities under

(1) For completed communities, represents cost plus budgeted capital
    expenditures. For communities under construction and in planning,
    represents total budgeted development cost, which includes the cost of
    land, fees, permits, payments to contractors, architectural and
    engineering fees and interest and property taxes to be capitalized during
    the construction period.
(2) The term "in planning" means that construction is anticipated to commence
    within 12 months.
(3) The term "under control" means that ATLANTIC has an exclusive right
    (through a contingent contract or letter of intent) during a contractually
    agreed-upon time period to acquire land for future development of
    multifamily communities, but ATLANTIC does not currently own the land.
(4) Does not include land held for future development (construction is not
    anticipated to commence in the next 12 months), which is less than 1% of
    assets, based on cost.
 
  There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with ATLANTIC in seeking land for
development, communities for acquisition and disposition and residents for
communities. All of ATLANTIC's multifamily communities are located in
developed areas that include other multifamily communities. The number of
competitive multifamily communities in a particular area could have a material
adverse effect on ATLANTIC's ability to lease units and on the rents charged.
In addition, other forms of single family and multifamily residential
communities provide housing alternatives to residents and potential residents
of ATLANTIC's multifamily communities.
 
  Few competitors in ATLANTIC's primary target market currently focus on the
moderate income resident. Consequently, ATLANTIC believes that moderate income
residents are a significantly underserved market with limited competition.
 
  The Atlanta market has experienced strong job growth in recent years but has
also attracted strong competition from institutional capital sources and other
developers and operators for the acquisition or development of multifamily
communities. Moderating but steady job growth overcame new units in the area
pushing occupancies up slightly in 1997 (Source: Dale Henson Associates).
Multifamily permits for Atlanta increased slightly in 1997 indicating higher
levels of inventory in 1998. Strong institutional investor interests in the
Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm Beach market offset strong job growth in 1997
(Source: Reinhold Wolff Economic Research). Multifamily permit activity for
Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm Beach increased again in 1997 illustrating the
increased institutional interest. Raleigh's high levels of absorption have
helped keep Raleigh's occupancy rates above 90%. The number of units under
construction in the Raleigh area exceeds levels of absorption; therefore,
Raleigh is forecast to experience an oversupply of units over the next 12
months (Source: Carolina's Real Data). The number of construction permits for
Raleigh granted in 1997 for multifamily units exceeded the number of such
permits granted in 1996 by 54%.

  Homestead's strategy for future growth includes developing new properties
and efficiently delivering them to the market place. Homestead expects to have
a total of 120 properties operational by the end of 1998. Homestead plans to
continue an active development program thereafter. Homestead's plans call for
the average property to have approximately 136 extended-stay rooms and to take
approximately eight to ten months to construct.
 
  Homestead's development portfolio consisted of the following at December 31,
1997 (in thousands):

  Each Homestead Village property is, or will be, located in a developed area
that includes competing properties. The number of competitors in a particular
area could have a material adverse effect on occupancy, average weekly rates
and revenues. Competition within the extended-stay lodging market has
increased substantially. In addition, since the lodging industry has
historically been characterized by cyclical trends, there can be no assurance
that the current state of supply/demand fundamentals will continue into the
future. Competition within the lodging industry is based generally on
convenience of location, price, range of services and guest amenities offered
and quality of customer service. Homestead considers the reasonableness of its
room rates, the location of its properties and the services and the guest
amenities provided by it to be among the most important competitive factors in
the business. A number of other lodging chains and developers are developing
extended-stay properties. In particular, some of these entities have targeted
the moderately priced segment of the extended-stay market in which Homestead
competes. Homestead competes for guests and for new development sites with
certain of these established entities which may have greater financial
resources than Homestead and better relationships with lenders and real estate
sellers. These entities may be able to accept more risk than Homestead can
prudently manage. Further, there can be no assurance that new or existing
competitors will not significantly reduce their rates or offer greater
convenience, services or amenities or significantly expand or improve
properties in markets in which Homestead competes, thereby materially
adversely affecting Homestead's business and results of operations.

sustainable operating results and consistent cash flow growth. This
disciplined approach to development has produced distribution property
developments with desired characteristics including state-of-the-art product
and attractive returns. Through December 31, 1997, completed developments,
properties under construction and properties in planning and owned represented

  There are numerous other industrial properties located in close proximity to
each of SCI's properties. The amount of rentable space available in any target
market city could have a material effect on SCI's ability to rent space and on
the rents charged. In addition, in many of SCI's submarkets, institutional
investors and owners and developers of industrial facilities compete for the
acquisition, development and leasing of industrial space. Many of these
persons have substantial resources and experience.
 
  SCI operates nationally and internationally and has no markets with a
concentration of investment in excess of 10% of its total portfolio
investment. In SCI's major markets, 1997 vacancy rates are below the average
rates for the period from 1991 through 1997 (Source: CB Commercial/Torto
Wheaton Research). Competition for acquisition of existing distribution
facilities from institutional capital sources and other REITs has increased
substantially in the past several years.

PROPERTIES OF SC-USREALTY INVESTEES
 
  The following discussion sets forth, with respect to the real estate
operating companies in which SC-USREALTY has acquired a material long-term
strategic ownership position, the markets in which each of such companies
operates as well as a description of the general competitive conditions faced
by such companies. No single property is materially important to any of the
strategic investees of SC-USREALTY and there are no mortgages, liens or other
encumbrances against any properties which are material to any such strategic
investee of SC-USREALTY. Whereas none of the strategic investees of SC-
USREALTY has at present any material plans for the renovation or improvement
of properties in operation, each strategic investee of SC-USREALTY budgets for
regular maintenance, repair and upgrades to its properties. To the extent set
forth below, certain investees are actively engaged in the development of
additional properties that would be material to the investee. In the opinion

  CarrAmerica believes that, as a result of its national operating system,
market research capabilities, access to capital, and experience as an owner,
operator and developer of real estate, it will continue to be able to identify
and consummate acquisition opportunities and to operate its portfolio more
effectively than competitors without such capabilities. CarrAmerica, however,
competes in many of its target markets with other real estate operators, some
of whom may have been active in such markets for a longer period than
CarrAmerica. In CarrAmerica's major markets of Washington, D.C. and San
Francisco, California, rental rates for office buildings have increased and
vacancy rates have decreased over the last six years (Source: CB

  Storage USA has recently taken advantage of its in-house development
capability to selectively develop new facilities in areas where suitable
acquisitions may not be available. The development activities consist
primarily of additions to existing facilities and construction of new
facilities. Since 1985, Storage USA and predecessor organizations have
developed and constructed 26 facilities, 20 of which Storage USA owns.

    development expenditures at December 31, which include the cost of land,
    fees, permits, payments to contractors, materials, architectural and

    the construction period.
 
  Competition exists in all of the market areas in which the facilities are
located. Storage USA principally faces competitors who seek to attract tenants
primarily on the basis of lower prices. However, Storage USA usually does not
seek to be the lowest-priced competitor. Rather, based on the quality of its
facilities and its customer service-oriented managers and amenities, Storage
USA's strategy is to lead particular markets in terms of prices.
 
  The pool of self-storage users has increased in recent years due to greater
consumer awareness, cost reduction programs by businesses, increased mobility
in the general population and an increasing mix of products and services
offered by self-storage facilities. Although circumstances vary among markets,
Storage USA believes that current demand for self-storage facilities is strong
when compared to the available supply of self-storage space. At the same time,
Storage USA believes that few operators of self-storage facilities are
currently constructing additional facilities or have access to the capital and
the development and construction expertise necessary to do so. Therefore,
Storage USA believes that the supply of self-storage facilities will remain
relatively limited for some time, and that the industry generally will
continue to experience strong occupancy and increasing rental rates. Storage
USA believes that its access to capital markets as a public company, the
systems and methods it has developed and the skilled personnel it has gathered
and trained for acquiring and managing self-storage facilities with potential
for increased occupancy and rental rates, and its expertise in facility
development and construction, place Storage USA in a position to capitalize on
these market conditions for the benefit of its shareholders.
 
  The three largest self-storage managers, based on industry data as to the
number of facilities operated (whether or not the facilities are owned), are:
(1) Public Storage Management, Inc. (67 million square feet); (2) Storage USA
(19.8 million square feet); and (3) U-Haul International, Inc. (19.7 million
square feet) (Source: Inside Self-Storage, August 1997 edition). Storage USA
is the second largest self-storage manager, with 25.6 million square feet in
394 facilities as of December 31, 1997. These other entities may generally be
able to accept more risk than Storage USA can prudently manage, including
risks with respect to the geographic proximity of its investments and the
payment of higher facility acquisition prices. This competition may generally
reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities offered to Storage USA
and increase the price required to be able to consummate the acquisition of
particular facilities. Further, Storage USA believes that competition from
entities organized for purposes substantially similar to Storage USA's
objectives could increase. Nevertheless, Storage USA believes that the
operations, development and financial experience of its executive officers and
directors and its customer-oriented approach to management of self-storage
facilities should enable Storage USA to compete effectively.

  There are numerous shopping center developers, real estate companies and
other owners of real estate that operate in the Pacific and Southwest regions
that compete with PACIFIC RETAIL in seeking retail tenants to occupy vacant
space, for the acquisition of shopping centers, and for the development of new
shopping centers. However, ownership of neighborhood infill centers
historically has been highly fragmented, with ownership local as institutional
capital has generally avoided the relatively small size of the centers and
their management-intensive nature. In addition, such centers targeted by
PACIFIC RETAIL are generally located within densely populated neighborhoods
where little or no land is available for development of competing centers.

  Holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as
may be authorized 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 not paid any dividends on its Class A Shares or Class B
Shares. 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 Board
intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings to finance Security Capital's
growth and for general corporate purposes and, therefore, Security Capital has
no present intention to pay a dividend on Class B Shares or Class A Shares in
the future.
 
  Security Capital's Form S-11 Registration Statements (File Nos. 333-26037
and 333-35867) which registered the Class B Shares sold in the initial public
offering were declared effective on September 17, 1997. A total of 22,569,710
Class B Shares were registered on those Registration Statements representing a
proposed aggregate offering price of $625,000,009. The offering of the Class B
Shares commenced on the effective date and purchases of Class B Shares in the
offering closed on September 23, 1997. A total of 22,569,710 Class B Shares
were sold in the offering for an aggregate offering price of $625,000,009. The
managing underwriter for the offering was J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc.
Security Capital incurred an aggregate of approximately $33,334,062 of
expenses in connection with the offering after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, consisting of $30,550,000 of underwriting discounts
and commissions and approximately $2,784,062 of other expenses. None of such
expenses represented direct or indirect payments to (i) Directors or officers
of Security Capital or their associates, (ii) persons owning 10 percent or
more of any class of Security Capital's equity securities or (iii) affiliates
of Security Capital. The net proceeds to Security Capital from the offering
after deducting the expenses described above were approximately $591,665,947.
The net proceeds of the offering were applied as follows through December 31,
1997: approximately $400,710,260 for the acquisition of other businesses;
approximately $177,500,000 for the repayment of indebtedness; and
approximately $13,455,687 for working capital. None of such uses of net
proceeds represented direct or indirect payments to (i) Directors or officers
of Security Capital or their associates, (ii) persons owning 10 percent or
more of any class of Security Capital's equity securities or (iii) affiliates
of Security Capital.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Security
Capital's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Item 14
of this report.
 
  The statements contained in this discussion that are not historical facts
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations,
management's beliefs, and assumptions made by management. Words such as
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees
of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions
which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may
differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking
statements. Security Capital undertakes no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Security Capital's financial performance depends on the
operating results of the Capital Division investees and the Services Division.
Among the important factors that could cause Security Capital's actual results
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements
are (i) changes in general economic conditions that would affect the operating
results of the Capital Division investees or the revenues earned by the
Services Division; (ii) changes in financial markets and interest rates that
could adversely affect Security Capital and the Capital Division's investees'
cost of capital and their ability to meet their financing needs and
obligations; (iii) increased or unexpected competition for the Capital
Division's investees; (iv) changes in capital markets generally or the market
for real estate securities specifically that could affect the revenues earned
by the Services Division; (v) impact of rapid growth on Security Capital,
including management and staffing; and (vi) changes in tax laws that could
affect the Capital Division's investees which operate as REITs.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  Security Capital is a real estate research, investment and operating
management company. Security Capital operates its business through two
divisions. The Capital Division generates EBDADT principally from its pro rata
ownership of private and public strategic real estate operating company
investments. The Services Division derives EBDADT through service fees from
the Real Estate Research Group, Global Capital Management Group and Financial
Serices Group.
 
  Security Capital obtains income from four sources: (1) the Capital
Division's share of earnings in its investees; (2) Global Capital Management
Group revenues; (3) Financial Services Group revenues consisting of accounting
and administrative services fees and capital markets fees; and (4) Real Estate
Research Group revenues. Prior to the Mergers (see note 3 to consolidated
financial statements), the REIT Managers and Property Managers provided
revenues. Revenues from the Global Capital Management Group, the Financial
Services Group and the Real Estate Research Group are all included in the
Services Division and are only reflected in
 
                                      46
<PAGE>
 
Security Capital's consolidated financial statements if they were earned from
investees not consolidated in the financial statements. Services Division
revenues earned from consolidated investees (Homestead, SC-US, SC-E and,
during 1995 and 1996, ATLANTIC) are eliminated in Security Capital's
consolidated financial statements.
 
  Upon consummation of the Mergers, Security Capital exchanged its interests
in the REIT Managers and Property Managers for common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR
and SCI. Although the effects of the Mergers on Security Capital's future
consolidated results of operations are complex, Security Capital expects
reductions in Services Division revenues relating to the exchange of the REIT
Managers and Property Managers for ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI to be substantially
offset by increases in Capital Division revenues attributable to its ownership
of additional common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI.
 
  SC-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. Security Capital accounts for its investment in SC-USREALTY using
the equity method and, as a consequence, Security Capital's results of
operations are affected by changes in the fair value of SC-USREALTY's
investments. SC-USREALTY values its investments in publicly traded companies
at market determined by using closing market prices as of the relevant balance
sheet date. SC-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,
SC-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, a Services Division subsidiary is the operating advisor
to SC-USREALTY and, for its services, earns advisory fees based on a
percentage of the fair value of SC-USREALTY's investments (not including
short-term investments and investments in Security Capital).
 
  SC-US and SC-E, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
account for their investments at market value and reflect changes in such
values in their statements of income pursuant to fair value accounting
principles. Security Capital consolidates SC-US and SC-E, and as a
consequence, Security Capital's results of operations are affected by changes
in the fair value of their investments.
 
  SC-PG, 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). Security Capital accounts for its
investment in SC-PG using the equity method and, as a consequence, Security
Capital's results of operations are affected by changes in the fair value of
SC-PG's investments. SC-PG makes intermediate-term investments primarily in
the convertible securities of real estate operating companies. SC-PG values
its investments in publicly traded securities at market determined by using
closing market prices as of the relevant balance sheet date. SC-PG values its
investments in privately held securities by using closing market prices, as of
the relevant balance sheet date, of an identical class of publicly traded
securities if it exists. The fair value of other privately held securities is
determined by consistently applying policies and procedures which consider
many factors.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
1997 COMPARED TO 1996
 
 Capital Division Investments
 
  Dividends Received
 
  Security Capital's dividends received increased $19.5 million, or 18%, from
$108.6 million in 1996 to $128.1 million in 1997. The increase results
primarily from (a) the purchase of additional shares in SCI and ATLANTIC; (b)
additional shares received from SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC in the Mergers; (c)
dividends from SC-US of approximately $9.6 million during 1997 and (d) an
increase in per share dividend rates of its investees.
 
                                      47
<PAGE>
 
  Equity in Earnings of Investees
 
  Excluding a one-time acquisition expense, equity in SCI's earnings would
have increased 38%, due to a $7.0 million increase in other real estate
income, $3.3 million of income from unconsolidated subsidiaries acquired
during 1997, a $7.4 million increase in gains on sale of properties and an
increase in the amount of distribution space owned and leased by SCI. Security
Capital's equity in SCI's earnings decreased 92% from $25.4 million to $2.1
million in 1996 and 1997, respectively. This decrease was primarily
attributable to a one-time non-cash expense of approximately $75.4 million
related to SCI's acquisition of its REIT Manager and Property Manager from
Security Capital (see note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). This
was accounted for as a one-time non-cash expense, rather than goodwill, since
the REIT Manager and Property Manager did not qualify as businesses for
purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 16 "Business Combinations." At December
31, 1997 and 1996, Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding
common shares of SCI was approximately 42.5% and 46.0%, respectively.
 
  Excluding a one-time acquisition expense, equity in PTR's earnings would
have increased by 10%, due to increases in net rental income ($18.1 million),
gains on sales of properties ($10.7 million) and interest income on Homestead
convertible mortgage notes ($14.7 million). PTR's earnings were impacted by an
increase in interest expense of $25.9 million primarily due to the issuance of
long-term debt during the year ended December 31, 1996 ($380 million) and in
March 1997 ($50 million), and short-term borrowings of $100 million in 1997.
Security Capital's equity in PTR's earnings decreased 53% from $39.9 million
in 1996 to $18.8 million in 1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to
a one-time non-cash expense of approximately $71.7 million related to PTR's
acquisition of its REIT Manager and Property Manager from Security Capital
(see note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). At December 31, 1997
and 1996, Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common
shares of PTR was 33.1% and 36.3%, respectively.
 
  Security Capital consolidated ATLANTIC's operations in 1996 and reported
earnings of ATLANTIC based on the equity method in 1997. For purposes of
comparison between years, ATLANTIC's results of operations for 1996 are
discussed below as if the equity method was in effect for 1996. Security
Capital's share of ATLANTIC's earnings increased 8% from $24.8 million in 1996
to $26.7 million in 1997. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
net rental income of $21.1 million partially offset by (a) reduced gains on
disposal of real estate assets from 1996 to 1997 and (b) decreased ownership
in ATLANTIC in 1997. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, Security Capital's
ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of ATLANTIC was 49.9% and
56.9%, respectively.
 
  Security Capital's share of SC-USREALTY's earnings increased from $103.2
million in 1996 to $120.1 million in 1997. SC-USREALTY effectively commenced
its investment activities in October 1995, and at December 31, 1996, SC-
USREALTY had investments at cost of approximately $1.2 billion with a fair
market value of approximately $1.4 billion. At December 31, 1997, SC-USREALTY
had investments at cost of $2.4 billion with a fair market value of $2.9
billion. Unrealized appreciation on SC-USREALTY's investments increased by
$265 million and $250 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. SC-USREALTY's
realized gains on special opportunity investments amounted to $41.1 million
and $3.5 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, SC-USREALTY
recorded net investment income (defined as dividends and other investment
income net of administration expenses, advisor fees, taxes and interest) of
$60.3 million and $13.0 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December
31, 1997 and 1996, Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding
common shares of SC-USREALTY was 32.9% and 39.4%, respectively.
 
  The following new investments contributed materially to Security Capital's
equity in earnings of investees for the first time in 1997:
 
  .  During 1997, Security Capital invested $112.5 million and $87.5 million
     in common shares and 7.5% convertible subordinated debentures,
     respectively, of SHC, which was formed in March 1997. As of December 31,
     1997, SHC's portfolio consisted of thirteen hotels. The total cost of
     the portfolio as of December 31, 1997 was $955 million. At December 31,
     1997, Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common
     stock of SHC was 39.5%.
 
                                      48
<PAGE>
 
  .  During 1997, Security Capital invested $54.9 million in SC-PG, which was
     formed in January 1997 and commenced operations in June 1997. At
     December 31, 1997, SC-PG had investments and investment commitments at
     cost and fair value of approximately $471.8 million and $521.7 million,
     respectively. At December 31, 1997, Security Capital's ownership
     interest in the outstanding common stock of SC-PG was 12.9%.
 
  .  Security Capital's initial investment (approximately $9.9 million) in
     SC-US occurred in late December 1996. During 1997, Security Capital
     invested an additional $90.1 million in SC-US. At December 31, 1997, SC-
     US had investments at cost and fair market value of approximately $101.5
     million and $113.7 million, respectively. Security Capital owned 98.3%
     and 100% of the outstanding shares of SC-US at December 31, 1997 and
     1996, respectively.
 
  As of December 31, 1997 Security Capital had invested $16.5 million in SC-E
and owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of SC-E.
 
 Room Revenue and Rental Expenses From Greater Than 50% Owned Consolidated
Investee (Homestead)
 
  Room revenue increased $50.2 million, or 612%, to $58.4 million in 1997 from
$8.2 million in 1996. Rental expenses were $25.1 million in 1997 and $4.0
million in 1996. The increase in both room revenue and rental expenses are
attributable to the fact that Homestead initially acquired operating
properties in October 1996 (see note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements) and to new property openings during 1997.
 
 Other Income, net
 
  The $17.7 million increase in other income primarily results from the
inclusion of SC-US's dividend income (approximately $4.9 million), realized
gains on sale of SC-US investments (approximately $8.2 million), increase in
interest on short-term investments ($2.6 million) due to temporary investment
of proceeds from the initial public offering and interest income on SHC
debentures of $1.3 million.
 
 Services Division
 
  Revenues
 
  Services Division revenues increased by 37% from $77.5 million in 1996 to
$105.9 million in 1997. The components of Services Division revenues were as

</TABLE>
 
  The increase of $28.4 million in Services Division revenues in 1997 compared
to 1996 was primarily attributable to growth in assets managed by the Global
Capital Management Group, generating increased advisory and management fees
($17.6 million), increased services provided by the Financial Services Group,
generating increased revenue ($10.8 million for capital markets services and
$3.0 million for accounting and administrative services). The reported growth
also reflected the deconsolidation of ATLANTIC in 1997 ($12.4 million) offset
by the impact of the September 9, 1997 sale of the SCI and PTR REIT Managers
and Property Managers ($14.3 million) and a $1.8 million decrease in fees
earned by the PTR REIT Manager and Property Manager as a result of the spin-
off of Homestead assets in October 1996.
 
  Effective September 9, 1997, the Services Division no longer received REIT
management and property management revenues and no longer incurred associated
operating expenses as a result of the Mergers (see note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements). Growth in Services Division revenues is expected to
come primarily
 
                                      49
<PAGE>
 
from growth in management and advisory revenues earned by the Global Capital
Management Group and, to a lesser extent, fees earned by the Financial
Services Group and the Real Estate Research Group. The Global Capital
Management Group manages and advises with respect to strategic investments and
intermediate-term investments on behalf of its customers, SC-USREALTY, SC-PG,
SC-US and SC-E, as well as new clients. Such assets under management increased
from $1.4 billion at December 31, 1996 to $3.5 billion at December 31, 1997.
In November 1997, a new client, SC-GR, was formed and commenced its initial
private placement. It seeks to be the leading publicly-traded European real
estate company focused on making strategic investments in non-US real estate
companies.
 
  Expenses
 
  Services Division expenses increased by $7.9 million, or 10%, in 1997, to
$87.2 million from $79.3 million in 1996. This increase resulted from the
expansion of the Services Division, including the hiring of additional
professionals primarily for the REIT Managers and Property Managers and the
Global Capital Management Group. Services Division expenses amounting to $69.9
million represent expenses incurred by the REIT Managers and Property Managers
through September 9, 1997 (date of the Mergers). These expenses were not
incurred in the fourth quarter, as stated above, and will not be incurred in
future periods.
 
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
  Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $15.3 million
in 1997 and $4.6 million in 1996. Of those amounts, $10.5 million and $1.1
million represented depreciation and amortization from Homestead rental
operations for those same periods in 1997 and 1996, respectively. This
increase is a result of Homestead being in operation for a full year in 1997
versus two and one-half months during 1996. The remaining depreciation and
amortization of $4.8 million and $3.5 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively,
is primarily attributable to the Services Division, representing an increase
of $1.3 million over such depreciation and amortization in 1996. This increase
is primarily a result of depreciation and amortization on additional computer
hardware and software and office leasehold improvements.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE
 
  Security Capital's consolidated interest expense consists of interest on the
2014 Convertible Debentures and 2016 Convertible Debentures (collectively, the
"Convertible Debentures"), interest on revolving lines of credit which are
obligations of Security Capital and Homestead and interest on mortgage notes
payable which are obligations of Homestead. Interest expense for 1997 and 1996
is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

</TABLE>
 
  Interest expense on the Convertible Debentures increased $.8 million or 1%
to $94.7 million in 1997 compared to $93.9 million in 1996. The increase is
primarily attributable to receipt of the subscriptions for 2016 Convertible
Debentures from a private placement completed in March 1996, which totaled
$323 million, offset by the conversion of 2014 Convertible Debentures to Class
A Shares in the fourth quarter of 1997 (see note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements).
 
  Interest expense on other obligations increased by $3.6 million from 1996 to
1997 due to the increase in the weighted-average lines of credit balance
outstanding ($74.4 million in 1997 and $64.4 million in 1996). In addition,
Homestead's mortgage interest expense increased due to additional borrowings
during 1997 under its funding commitment agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC for
development of extended-stay lodging.

  General, Administrative and Other
 
  General, administrative and other expenses increased by $25.7 million, or
88%, in 1997, to $54.9 million from $29.2 million in 1996. This increase
resulted primarily from (a) additional personnel and related costs and
professional fees applicable to researching new business opportunities,
enhancing information systems designed for global operations, and to a lesser
extent, additional personnel for human resources and other administrative
support functions ($7.6 million); (b) a non-cash, non-recurring charge to
earnings of $6.6 million in the second quarter of 1997 associated with an
exchange of Class A Shares for shares of a corporate entity (SCGPG
Incorporated) owned by Security Capital's chairman, whose sole assets were
warrants and options to purchase Class A Shares; the charge represents the
value applicable to the holders' ability to defer exercising the warrants and
options until 2002 in accordance with their terms; (c) consolidation of
Homestead's accounts for the full year in 1997 versus 1996 ($11.3 million) and
(d) consolidation of SC-US's accounts ($0.3 million).
 
  Provision for Income Taxes
 
  The provision for income taxes increased by $25.5 million in 1997 compared
to 1996 primarily due to deferred income taxes on the equity in earnings of
Security Capital's unconsolidated investees and the gain on sale of the REIT
Managers and Property Managers to PTR and SCI. The effective rate (see note 8
to the consolidated financial statements) for 1997 is affected by (a) reversal
of the valuation allowance applicable to net operating loss carryforwards, (b)
the value ($49.9 million) assigned to the nondeductible Warrants issued to the
PTR and SCI shareholders (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements)
and (c) the $6.6 million non-cash, non-recurring charge (see note 5 to the
consolidated financial statements).
 
  Minority Interests
 
  Minority interests decreased $12.2 million, from $13.4 million in 1996 to
$1.2 million in 1997, primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of
ATLANTIC's accounts during 1997.
 
  Preferred Share Dividends
 
  On April 1, 1996, Security Capital issued 139,000 Series A Preferred Shares
to a single investor. The Series A Preferred Shares carry a 7.5% preferential
cash dividend rate, payable when and if authorized by the Board of Directors
quarterly in arrears. Security Capital paid $10.4 million and $7.8 million in
dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
 
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
occupancy level (91.2% as of December 31, 1996 compared to 93.5% as of
December 31, 1995). At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital's
ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of SCI was 46.0% and
48.3%, respectively.
 
  Security Capital's share of PTR's earnings increased 62% from $24.6 million
in 1995 to $39.9 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
 
                                      51
<PAGE>
 
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 36.3% and 37.9%, respectively.
 
  Security Capital's share of SC-USREALTY's earnings increased substantially
from $0.1 million in 1995 to $103.2 million in 1996. SC-USREALTY effectively
commenced its investment activities in October 1995, and at December 31, 1996,
SC-USREALTY had investments at cost of $1.2 billion with a fair market value
of $1.4 billion, resulting in unrealized appreciation of $250 million which is
accounted for by SC-USREALTY pursuant to fair value accounting principles. In
addition, SC-USREALTY recorded net investment income of $13.0 million in 1996
and realized gains on special opportunity investments of $3.5 million in 1996.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital's ownership interest in the
outstanding common shares of SC-USREALTY was 39.4% and 32.2%, respectively.
 
  Room Revenue and Rental Expenses from greater than 50% owned consolidated
investee (Homestead)
 
  Homestead's room revenue was $8.2 million in 1996. As mentioned previously,
Homestead was consolidated by Security Capital after the spin-off transaction
completed on October 17, 1996, by Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR of their
extended-stay lodging assets. Homestead's rental expenses during the same
period were $4.0 million.
 
  ATLANTIC Income and Expenses
 
  For comparative purposes, due to the deconsolidation of ATLANTIC's accounts
in 1997, ATLANTIC's income and expenses are reported as separate line items in
Security Capital's 1996 and 1995 consolidated financial statements
 
  ATLANTIC's revenues increased $37.1 million from $103.9 million in 1995 to
$141.0 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 as of December 31, 1996 compared to 15,823 operating
units at December 31, 1995), coupled with stable occupancies (approximately
95%) in both years. ATLANTIC's expenses increased by $17.8 million, or 24%, to
$91.6 million in 1996 from $73.8 million in 1995. The increase in expenses was
primarily attributable to the increase in the number of multifamily units
discussed above.
 
  Other Income, Net
 
  Other income consists of interest and miscellaneous income of $2.7 million
and $1.6 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

  Financial Services revenues earned from PTR and SCI were 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 (see note

Services
 
                                      52
<PAGE>
 
Division revenues in 1996 as compared to 1995 was primarily attributable to
increased management fees resulting from the growth in operations at each of
Security Capital'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
by Global Capital Management Group increased $7.9 million. The remaining
services revenues of $2.6 million were earned by Security Capital Markets
Group.
 
  Expenses
 
  Services Division expenses increased by $23.0 million, or 41%, in 1996 to
$79.3 million from $56.3 million in 1995. The increase was primarily
attributable to growth of the REIT Managers and Property Managers including
the hiring of additional professionals. In particular, expenses applicable to
the SCI and PTR REIT Managers and Property Managers and the USREALTY Advisor
increased by $9.2 million, $7.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. In
addition, the aggregate expenses of the Global Capital Management Group and
Security Capital Markets Group increased by $4.6 million.
 
  Depreciation and Amortization
 
  Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $4.6 million in
1996 and $2.2 million in 1995. Depreciation and amortization for Homestead was
$1.1 million for the two and one-half month period ended December 31, 1996.
The remaining depreciation and amortization of $3.5 million and $2.2 million
in 1996 and 1995, respectively, was attributable to the Services Division and
the administrative support functions, representing an increase of $1.3 million
over such depreciation and amortization for 1995 of $2.2 million. The $1.3
million increase between 1995 and 1996 was 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
interest on mortgage notes payable which are obligations of Homestead.
Interest expense for 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows (dollars in

Debentures in 1996 totaling $226.5 million as well as the issuance of an
additional $185 million of 2014 Convertible Debentures during 1995 (see note 4
to the consolidated financial statements).
 
  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-off 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-off.
 
                                      53

  General, Administrative and Other
 
  General, administrative and other expenses increased by $9.9 million, or
51%, in 1996 to $29.2 million from $19.3 million in 1995. This increase
results primarily from the consolidation of Homestead's accounts ($2.2
million), increased payroll and related expenses applicable to the growth of
the ATLANTIC REIT Manager ($2.7 million), as well as additional personnel and
related costs applicable to information systems, human resources and other
administrative support functions.
 
  Provision for Income Taxes
 
  The provision for income taxes in 1996 was primarily attributable to
deferred income taxes on the equity in earnings of SC-USREALTY. 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
consolidated financial statements).
 
  Minority Interests
 
  Minority interests increased from $4.8 million in 1995 to $13.4 million in
1996 due to increased earnings of 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 Series A Preferred Shares
to a single investor. The Series A Preferred Shares carry a 7.5% preferential
cash dividend rate, payable when and if authorized by the Board of Directors
quarterly in arrears. Security Capital paid $7.8 million in dividends on the
Series A Preferred Shares in 1996.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
 Overview
 
  Security Capital's investment activities consist primarily of investment in
the common shares of its Capital Division investees and research and capital
expenditures relating to expansion of its Services Division business. The
investment activities of Security Capital's investee operating companies
consist primarily of the acquisition and development of real estate, or
strategic ownership positions in companies which conduct such activities.
Other affiliates make portfolio investments in the securities of publicly
traded real estate companies and/or intermediate-term investments primarily in
the convertible securities of publicly-traded real estate operating companies.
Security Capital has historically financed its investment activities primarily
through the sale of stock and convertible securities in private placements and
borrowings under its line of credit.
 
  Important financing events in 1997 included:
 
  .  Completion of an initial public offering on September 23, 1997, which
     raised net proceeds of $591.7 million which were used to invest in
     affiliated businesses and repay line of credit borrowings;
 
  .  Conversion of $715.8 million principal amount of 2014 Convertible
     Debentures into Class A Shares between October 10, 1997 and November 28,
     1997; and
 
  .  Increasing available commitments under its wholly-owned subsidiary's
     line of credit to $400 million.
 
  As a result of these activities, Security Capital has total assets of $4.0
billion, measured at fair value as of December 31, 1997, with only $399.0
million of outstanding debt. As described below, $323 million of such debt may
be called for redemption (and if called, would likely be converted, based on
current market prices) beginning in the first quarter of 1999. Hence,
management believes Security Capital may incur significant additional
leverage, for investment purposes, while still retaining a conservative
balance sheet.

  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) and funds currently available under its
revolving line of credit will be sufficient to enable Security Capital to
satisfy its anticipated cash requirements for operations and committed
investments during 1998. Security Capital intends to finance its long-term
business activities (including investments in new business initiatives and
additional investments in existing affiliates) through a proposed expansion to
its subsidiary's line of credit, the exercise of the Warrants issued as
described below and future issuances of securities. In addition, Security
Capital anticipates that its operating affiliates 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.
Security Capital does not guarantee the obligations of its operating
affilitates.
 
  Security Capital and its lead bank are negotiating an expansion of its line
of credit from the current $400 million to $700 million as well as a reduction
of the interest rate to 1.0% over LIBOR, subject to syndication. Security
Capital anticipates that the expanded credit line will be in place in April
1998.
 
  Security Capital distributed Warrants to purchase $250 million of Class B
Shares to the shareholders of SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC pursuant to the Mergers.
The exercise price of a Warrant is $28 per Class B Share (compared to a market
price of $30 3/4 per share as of March 20, 1998), although no assurance can be
given that Warrants will be exercised. The Warrants will expire on September
18, 1998.
 
  Security Capital's consolidated investee has undertaken the following recent
financing activities:
 
  .  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; these agreements provided
     up to $199 million and $111 million, respectively, in financing, with a
     remaining commitment of $11.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, as
     of December 31, 1997. In May 1997, Homestead obtained a $50 million
     (since increased to $100 million) revolving line of credit.
 
  .  In January 1998, Homestead completed a rights offering of common shares,
     realizing $154.5 million of net proceeds, and expects to issue
     additional equity in 1998.
 
  Security Capital recorded investments of $1.2 billion in 1997 consisting
primarily of (i) $388.2 million invested by Homestead for the development of
extended-stay lodging properties; (ii) $273.0 million invested by Security
Capital for common shares of SC-USREALTY; (iii) $90.1 million and $16.5
million invested by SC-US and SC-E, respectively, in publicly traded real
estate securities; (iv) $75.0 million invested in common shares of SCI; (v)
$112.5 million, $87.5 million and $54.9 million invested by Security Capital
in common shares of SHC, convertible debt of SHC and the common shares of SC-
PG, respectively; and (vi) $26.7 million invested in Homestead warrants
purchased on the open market.
 
  Security Capital obtained financing of $1.1 billion during 1997 primarily
from (i) proceeds from the sale of common stock of $692.9 million net of
expenses and repurchases (including $591.7 million in net proceeds from
Security Capital's initial public offering) and convertible debentures of
$98.7 million; (ii) Homestead's issuance of convertible mortgage notes to PTR
and ATLANTIC for $191.8 million; (iii) net proceeds from the lines of credit
borrowings of $138.8 million; and (iv) other financing transactions of $3.8
million.
 
  Security Capital completed the following non-cash investing and financing
activities in 1997:
 
  .  On September 9, 1997, Security Capital, PTR, ATLANTIC and SCI
     consummated the Mergers (see note 3 to the consolidated financial
     statements). Security Capital received common shares from SCI, PTR and
     ATLANTIC totaling $81.9 million (3,692,024 shares), $75.8 million
     (3,295,533 shares) and $51.7 million (2,306,591 shares), respectively in
     exchange for the REIT Managers and Property Managers. Security Capital
     recorded a gain on sale of the REIT Managers and Property Managers to
     PTR and SCI totaling $143.3 million. For financial reporting purposes,
     the gain was reduced by the value ($49.9 million) of the Warrants to
     purchase Class B Shares issued to PTR and SCI shareholders,
 
                                      55
<PAGE>
 
     resulting in a gain of $93.4 million. At the time of the transaction,
     Security Capital owned 50.3% of ATLANTIC and consequently no gain was
     recorded on the transaction. Security Capital issued Warrants to
     ATLANTIC's shareholders totaling $11.5 million.
 
  .  Between October 10 and November 28, 1997, $715 million of 2014
     Convertible Debentures were converted into 684,349 Class A Shares.
 
  1996 Investing and Financing Activities
 
  Security Capital recorded investments of approximately $832.3 million in
1996, consisting primarily of (i) $267.9 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 (iii) $392.9 million
invested by Security Capital for common shares of SC-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 $27.1 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 which created Homestead (see note 2
     to the consolidated financial statements). Since Homestead and ATLANTIC
     were consolidated with Security Capital in 1996, only the effect of
     PTR's transaction with Homestead is reflected in Security Capital's
     consolidated financial statements for the 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 Security Capital for the acquisition of common shares of PTR, SCI,
ATLANTIC and SC-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 cash use 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 8.3 million common shares of PTR.
 
 Line of Credit
 
  Security Capital
 
  SC Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital, has a $400 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
 
                                      56
<PAGE>
 
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 0.50% or Wells
Fargo's prime rate, with interest payable monthly in arrears. SC Realty pays a
commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.25% 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, SC-USREALTY and
Homestead owned by SC Realty. SC Realty's lead bank is currently syndicating
an increase in the line of credit to $700 million, at a lower interest rate,
but successful completion of syndication cannot be assured.
 
  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 Security Capital, including a minimum
shareholders' equity test, a total liabilities-to-net-worth ratio and an
interest coverage ratio, as well as restrictions on Security Capital's ability
to incur indebtedness and effect consolidations, mergers (other than a
consolidation or merger in which Security Capital is the surviving entity) and
sales of assets. The guaranty also contains a restricted payments covenant
which prohibits dividends and distributions on Security Capital's capital
stock in excess of 95% of Security Capital's cash flow available for
distribution (as defined). As of December 31, 1997, there was $76 million
outstanding under this line of credit and Security Capital and SC Realty were
in compliance with all financial covenants.
 
  On May 6, 1997, Homestead entered into a secured revolving line of credit
facility with Commerzbank AG, as agent and lender ("CAG"), which provided for
borrowings of up to $50,000,000, subject to collateral requirements, with
borrowings bearing interest at the Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% per annum, and an
unfunded commitment fee of 0.325%. On August 25, 1997, Homestead amended the
line of credit agreement to provide for borrowings of up to $100,000,000,
subject to collateral requirements, and to lower the interest rate to the
Eurodollar rate plus 1.9% per annum. Additionally, the unfunded commitment fee
was amended to 0.25% if the average unfunded balance is greater than
$50,000,000 or 0.325% if the average unfunded balances is $50,000,000 or less.
The revolving line of credit matures May 5, 1998, and may be extended with the
approval of CAG.
 
 Mortgage Notes Payable
 
  The Homestead convertible mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of
PTR and ATLANTIC, into shares of Homestead common stock. The conversion price
is equal to one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of principal
amount outstanding.
 
 2016 Convertible Debentures
 
  At December 31, 1997, Security Capital had approximately $323.0 million
principal amount of 2016 Convertible Debentures outstanding. The 2016
Convertible Debentures accrue interest at an annual rate of 6.5% and require
semi-annual cash interest payments. The principal amount of the 2016
Convertible Debentures are convertible into Class A Shares at $1,153.90 per
share (compared to a December 31, 1997, NYSE closing price of $1,580 per
share) at the option of the holder at any time after September 18, 1998, 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. Security
Capital may redeem the 2016 Convertible Debentures at any time after March 29,
1999, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date
of redemption.
 
 Impact of Year 2000
 
  Security Capital has undertaken a review of all of its computer systems and
applications to determine if these programs are Year 2000 compliant, and if
not, the efforts that will be necessary to bring the programs into compliance.
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Certain computer
programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure
or
 
                                      57
<PAGE>
 
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage
in similar business activities.
 
  Security Capital has not identified any computer system or application for
which a failure to be Year 2000 compliant would result in a material adverse
impact on Security Capital's business activities or results of operations.
However, the preliminary results of this review indicate that certain of
Security Capital's accounting and financial reporting applications are not
Year 2000 compliant. Security Capital, in order to enhance operating
efficiencies, has already undertaken a project that will replace these core
financial systems with computer software that will better serve Security
Capital in the future. This new software, that is expected to be fully
operational by the end of 1998, is Year 2000 compliant.
 
  Security Capital is currently evaluating Year 2000 modifications to other
existing software programs. The cost of these modifications is not expected to
be material and all conversions and modifications are expected to be completed
in a timely manner.

                    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, 1997 and 1996
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1997. 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 of Security Capital Pacific
Trust, Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated, Security Capital U.S. Realty,
and Homestead Village Incorporated (prior to January 1, 1997) for which the
accompanying statements reflect $1,741,155,000 (48.2%) and $2,315,847,000
(79.1%) of the total consolidated assets of Security Capital Group Incorporated
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
$165,700,000 (45.1%), $289,515,000 (72.7%) and $128,589,000 (64.1%) 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, 1997, respectively. Those statements 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 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 the reports of other auditors, the

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
 
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Business:
 
  Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital") is a real estate
research, investment and operating management company. Its strategy is to
create the optimal organization to lead and profit from global real estate
securitization. Security Capital has invested in various operating and other
entities (the Capital Division) (see note 2) and provides various capital
management and financial services through a Services Division (see note 3).
The Capital Division invests in real estate-related companies with the
objective of generating capital appreciation and growing dividends. The
Services Division provides research, operational and capital deployment
oversight, capital management, capital markets, accounting and administrative
services for the companies in which Security Capital and its affiliates have
invested. Security Capital is a Maryland corporation.
 
 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 certain
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. The securities issued
by REALTY had an aggregate value of $233,708,000. The Services Division
companies did not qualify as "businesses" for purposes of applying APB Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the excess of the aggregate
value of the securities issued ($233,708,000) over the fair value of the net
tangible assets acquired ($75,264,000) has been recorded as "Costs incurred in
acquiring Services Division from related party" ($158,444,000), in the
accompanying 1995 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
 Principles of Financial Presentation:
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of
Security Capital, its majority-owned Capital Division investees (Homestead
Village Incorporated ("Homestead"), Security Capital U.S. Real Estate Shares
Incorporated ("SC-US") and Security Capital European Real Estate Shares
Incorporated ("SC-E")) and its wholly owned Services Division subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. At December 31, 1997, minority interest is comprised of the
minority shareholders of Homestead and SC-US. Security Capital accounts for
its 20% or greater (but not more than 50%) owned investees, and those over
which it has substantial influence as the manager or advisor, 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.
 
  In 1997, Security Capital changed to the equity method of accounting for its
investment in Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") (see note
2).
 
 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.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
 Real Estate and Depreciation:
 
  Real estate, all of which is owned by Homestead at December 31, 1997, 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
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 buildings and improvements and 2 to 10
years for furnishings and other equipment.
 
 Interest:
 
  Security Capital capitalizes interest of its consolidated subsidiaries as
part of the cost of real estate projects under development. During the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the total interest paid on all
outstanding debt was $111,445,000, $75,756,000 and $61,727,000, respectively,
including $69,883,000, $2,103,000 and none, respectively, which was
capitalized.
 
 Cost of Raising Capital:
 
  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, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $5,031,000,
$1,943,000, and $836,000, respectively; $1,200,000 of such costs in 1997
related to arranging a contingent line of credit in connection with the
redemption of the 12% convertible subordinated debentures due 2014 ("2014
Convertible Debentures"), under which line nothing was borrowed.
 
 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:
 
  Basic earnings per share data is computed based on weighted-average shares
of Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class B Shares"),
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on
the weighted-average Class B Shares outstanding during the year plus the
weighted-average Class B Shares that would be outstanding assuming (a) the
exercise of outstanding options and warrants, and (b) for 1997, the conversion
of 6 1/2% converible subordinated debentures due 2016 ("2016 Convertible
Debentures"). The conversion of 2014 Convertible Debentures, 2016 Convertible
Debentures (for 1996 and 1995) and Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable
Voting Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Series A Preferred
Shares"), into Class B Shares is not assumed as the effect would be anti-
dilutive.
 
  Security Capital adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, effective
December 15, 1997. Previously reported earnings per share data have been
restated to conform to SFAS No. 128.

 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.
 
 Reclassifications:
 
  Certain amounts in the 1996 and 1995 consolidated financial statements and
notes to consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to the 1997 presentation.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  .  Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"), a publicly held
     REIT, owns, acquires, develops and operates income-producing
     multifamily properties in the southeastern and near mid-western United
     States. On July 1, 1996, Security Capital purchased 1,250,000 common
     shares of ATLANTIC from a minority interest holder at a total cost of
     $30,663,000. On October 18, 1996 Security Capital purchased an
     additional 416,666 common shares of ATLANTIC in ATLANTIC's initial
     public offering at a cost of $24 per share. At December 31, 1997 and
     1996, Security Capital owned 49.9% and 56.9%, respectively, of the
     issued and outstanding common shares of ATLANTIC. During 1997, Security
     Capital accounted for its investment in ATLANTIC by the equity method
     as Security Capital's ownership in ATLANTIC fell below 50% upon
     completion of ATLANTIC's registered offering in October 1997. In 1996
     and 1995, Security Capital consolidated ATLANTIC's accounts.
 
  .  Security Capital U.S. Realty ("SC-USREALTY") is a Luxembourg real
     estate corporation formed with the sponsorship of Security Capital with
     the objective of becoming one of Europe's preeminent publicly held real
     estate entities. It principally owns real estate through strategic
     positions in both public and private real estate operating companies in
     the United States. Security Capital funded total initial subscriptions
     of $200,000,000 for the common shares of SC-USREALTY ($179,730,000 and
     $20,270,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively). In addition to the
     subscriptions funded, Security Capital purchased common shares of SC-
     USREALTY at a total cost of $213,192,000 during the year ended December
     31, 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1997, Security Capital
     purchased additional common shares of SC-USREALTY at a total cost of
     $273,042,000. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, Security Capital owned
     32.9% and 39.4%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding common
     shares of SC-USREALTY. Security Capital accounts for its investment in
     SC-USREALTY by the equity method.
 
  .  Homestead, a publicly held corporation, is a developer, owner and
     operator of moderate priced, extended-stay lodging properties
     throughout the United States. On October 17, 1996, Security Capital,
     PTR and ATLANTIC completed the spin-off of their extended stay lodging
     assets to Homestead. As described below, upon consummation of the
     transaction, Homestead's common shares are held by Security Capital and
     shareholders of PTR and ATLANTIC. Given the common ownership of the
     "Homestead assets" before and after the spin-off, Security Capital did
     not record a gain on this transaction in its consolidated financial
     statements.
 
     In exchange for 4,062,788 common shares of Homestead, 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 as well as the Homestead
     trademark, the operating system and certain Homestead development
     properties acquired by Security Capital as they were outside the target
     markets of ATLANTIC and PTR. Security Capital also received 817,694
     warrants to purchase Homestead common shares at $10 per share in
     exchange for (a) providing funding to Homestead during the time between
     the execution of the merger agreement and the closing date and (b) the
     use of office facilities for one year.
 
     In exchange for Homestead common shares and warrants to purchase
     Homestead common shares at $10 per share, PTR and ATLANTIC contributed
     operating properties as well as properties under construction or in
     planning and ATLANTIC contributed $16.8 million in cash. In addition,
     PTR and ATLANTIC received Homestead common shares and warrants for
     entering into Funding Commitment Agreements to provide secured
     financing of up to $199.0 million and $111.1 million, respectively, to
     Homestead for completing the development and construction of the above-
     described properties. PTR and ATLANTIC have received convertible
     mortgage notes from Homestead as fundings occur under the Funding
     Commitment Agreements. On November 12, 1996, PTR and ATLANTIC
     distributed the

     Security Capital invested an aggregate of $91,503,000 in purchasing
     Homestead common shares ($1,105,000) and warrants ($26,682,000) in the
     open market and exercising all of its Homestead warrants ($63,716,000).

     respectively, of the issued and outstanding common shares of Homestead.

     convertible subordinated debentures. The debentures are convertible
     into SHC common stock, bear interest at 7.5% per annum and have a
     "mandatory" interest pay rate of 3% per annum. Interest accrues on any
     "deferred interest" at 7.5% per annum. Deferred interest is payable
     upon maturity or redemption of the debentures. For 1997, SHC paid
     interest at the 3% mandatory rate. Security Capital owned 39.5% of
     SHC's outstanding common shares as of December 31, 1997. Security
     Capital accounts for its investment in SHC by the equity method.

(3) SERVICES DIVISION
 
GLOBAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT GROUP
 
  The Global Capital Management Group provides oversight, guidance and/or
management to various entities which own real estate securities on a
strategic, intermediate-term or short-term basis. The customer entities
include closed-end and open-end companies, U.S. operating companies and non-
U.S. operating companies.
 
 Operating Advisors
 
  A Services Division subsidiary domiciled in Luxembourg ("USREALTY Advisor")
advises on all investment and operational activities of SC-USREALTY. The
USREALTY Advisor is paid an operating advisor fee of 1.25% of SC-USREALTY's
average monthly investments at fair value (other than liquid short-term
investments and investments in Security Capital). Another Services Division
subsidiary, domiciled in Luxembourg, has been formed to serve as the operating
advisor to Security Capital Global Realty ("SC-GR"), a Luxembourg corporation
which expects to complete its initial offering in March 1998. SC-GR seeks to
be the leading publicly traded European real estate company focused on making
strategic investments in non-U.S. real

estate companies. The operating advisor to SC-GR will be paid an operating
advisor fee of 1.25% of SC-GR's average monthly investments at fair value.
 
 Management Company
 
  A U.S. subsidiary headquartered in Chicago manages SC-PG, a closed-end
company which makes intermediate-term investments in convertible securities
issued by real estate companies. This subsidiary also manages SC-US and SC-E,
which are open-end mutual funds. The management fees earned by this subsidiary
range from 0.85% to 1.00% of assets under management.
 
FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP
 
  Two services division subsidiaries provide capital markets services and
accounting and administrative services, respectively, to Security Capital
affiliates. These services are provided at negotiated rates, based on market
terms. Accounting and administrative services provided focus on centralized
services where economies of scale and volume purchasing power are expected to
generate cost efficiencies for the Services Division subsidiary relative to
its customers.
 
FORMERLY OWNED REIT MANAGERS AND PROPERTY MANAGERS
 
  Prior to September 1997, certain Security Capital Services Division
subsidiaries, under the terms of separate agreements, managed the operations
("REIT Managers") of various REITs in which the Capital Division is a
principal owner, and other subsidiaries ("Property Managers") provided
property management services to those REITs. Each REIT Manager was 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 was generally
16% of cash flow, as so defined, of the REIT. Property management fees were at
market rates and were paid separately to Security Capital's property
management subsidiaries.
 
  In late January 1997, Security Capital made a proposal to SCI, PTR and
ATLANTIC to exchange the REIT and Property Managers for additional shares of
the respective REITs (the "Mergers"), resulting in each of the REITs becoming
internally managed. Following review and approval by special committees,
trustees, directors and shareholders of the participating companies, the
transactions closed on September 9, 1997. SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC issued
$81,870,626 (3,692,024 shares), $75,838,457 (3,295,533 shares) and $51,754,136
(2,306,591 shares) of their common shares, respectively, in exchange for the
respective REIT Managers and Property Managers and operating systems. Security
Capital recorded a gain on the sale of the management companies to PTR and SCI
totaling $143,293,000. For financial reporting purposes, the gain was reduced
by the value ($49,898,000) of the warrants ("Warrants") to purchase Class B
Shares issued to PTR and SCI shareholders, as described below, resulting in a
net gain of $93,395,000. At the time of the transaction, Security Capital
owned 50.3% in ATLANTIC and therefore ATLANTIC was an entity under common
control and consequently no gain was recognized on the sale to ATLANTIC. The
value ($11,530,000) of the Warrants issued to ATLANTIC's shareholders is
included in the basis of Security Capital's investment in ATLANTIC.
 
  As part of the transactions, Security Capital issued registered Warrants to
acquire $250 million of Class B Shares (8,928,572 Warrants) to common and
convertible preferred shareholders of SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC, and limited
partnership unit holders of SCI as of September 16, 1997. The exercise price
of a Warrant is $28 per Class B Share, and the Warrants will expire on
September 18, 1998. There were 57,831 Warrants exercised between the issuance
date and December 31, 1997. The Warrants are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol SCZ WS.

(4) INDEBTEDNESS
 
 Lines of Credit:
 
  At December 31, 1997, Security Capital and its consolidated subsidiary
(Homestead), had revolving bank lines of credit. Security Capital has a
$400,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Realty Advisors,
Incorporated ("Wells Fargo"), as agent for a group of lenders. The line was
increased from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 on July 22, 1997. 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 participating lenders.
On February 19, 1998, Security Capital and Wells Fargo signed a letter of
agreement to extend the maturity of the line of credit by one year, increase
the available borrowings to $600,000,000, and reduce the interest rate to
1.125% over LIBOR (or lower if certain conditions are met) subject to
successful syndication. 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
plus .50%) with interest payable monthly in arrears. Commitment fees range
from 0.125% to 0.25% per annum based on the average unfunded line of credit
balance (such fees were 0.125% on all unfunded balances prior to October,
1996). Security Capital's line is secured by its holdings in SCI, PTR,
ATLANTIC, SC-USREALTY and Homestead.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 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.
 
  Dividends, redemptions, repurchases of stock, or other payments or transfers
in respect of such stock are limited to 95% of Security Capital's cash flow
available for distribution if no event of default has occurred and is
continuing. During default, no such payments other than mandatory interest on
subordinated debentures may be made. Additionally, dividends, redemptions,
repurchases of stock, or other payments or transfers in respect of such stock
are limited to 100% of SC Realty's cash flow available for distribution if no
event of default has occurred and is continuing. During default, no such
payments may be made.
 
  On May 6, 1997, Homestead entered into a secured revolving line of credit
facility with Commerzbank AG, as agent and lender ("CAG"), which provided for
borrowings of up to $50,000,000, subject to collateral requirements, with
borrowings bearing interest at the Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% per annum, and an
unfunded commitment fee of 0.325%. On August 25, 1997, Homestead amended the
line of credit agreement to provide for borrowings of up to $100,000,000,
subject to collateral requirements, and to lower the interest rate to the
Eurodollar rate plus 1.9% per annum. Additionally, the unfunded commitment fee
was amended to 0.25% if the average unfunded balance is greater than
$50,000,000 or 0.325% if the average unfunded balances is $50,000,000 or less.
The revolving line of credit matures May 5, 1998, and may be extended with the
approval of CAG.
 
  On November 25, 1997, Homestead obtained a $50,000,000 interim credit
agreement with CAG which provided for borrowings, at Homestead's option, at
either the Eurodollar rate plus 2.625% or at a base rate (the higher of 1/2 of
1% in excess of the federal funds rate or the prime rate) plus 1%. Borrowings
and all accrued interest under this agreement were repaid in January, 1998.
Upon repayment of the interim borrowings, no further commitment was available
under this agreement. During the term of this interim credit agreement,
borrowings under Homestead's $100,000,000 secured revolving credit agreement
with CAG were limited to $50,000,000.
 
  Each line requires maintenance of certain financial covenants. Security
Capital, SC Realty and Homestead were in compliance with all such covenants at
December 31, 1997.
 
  A summary of the lines of credit borrowings as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 Mortgage Notes Payable:
 
  At December 31, 1997, Homestead owed convertible mortgage notes to PTR of
$208,093,000 and $93,513,000 to ATLANTIC. At December 31, 1997, Homestead had
a remaining funding commitment of $11,895,000 from PTR and $5,119,000 from
ATLANTIC.
 
  Homestead issued warrants to PTR and ATLANTIC in exchange for entering into
the funding commitment agreements (Note 2). The costs associated with the
issuance of the warrants have been recorded as deferred financing costs and
are amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the
effective interest

method. The effective interest rate on the PTR and ATLANTIC convertible
mortgage notes payable, after giving effect to the related discount and
premium conversion feature and warrants, is estimated to be 13.56% and 9.05%,
respectively.
 
  As of April 1, 1997, the mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of
PTR and ATLANTIC, into common shares of Homestead common stock. The conversion
price is equal to one share of common stock for every $11.50 of principal
amount outstanding. The value of the conversion feature, representing the
difference between the conversion price per share and the value per share of
Homestead stock established in the Mergers, is amortized as an increase to
interest expense.
 
 Convertible Debt:
 
  Security Capital's 2014 Convertible Debentures were called for redemption on
September 29, 1997. The principal amount outstanding totaled none at December
31, 1997 and $713,677,000 at December 31, 1996. A total of $8,900 of 2014
Convertible Debentures were redeemed on December 1, 1997, at a redemption
price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures
plus accrued and unpaid interest through December 1, 1997.
 
  In lieu of redemption, substantially all 2014 Convertible Debenture holders
elected to convert their debentures into shares of Security Capital's Class A
common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class A Shares"), at the conversion
price of $1,046 per share, beginning October 10, 1997, and until the close of
business November 28, 1997. On conversion of the 2014 Convertible Debentures,
any accrued and unpaid deferred interest was deemed to be paid in full upon
delivery of the Class A Shares to the debenture holder. A total of
$715,830,000 principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures was converted
into 684,349 Class A Shares. The principal amount of the converted debentures
($715,830,000) plus the unpaid deferred interest ($41,924,000) has been
recorded as an addition to shareholder's equity.
 
  In addition, the Board of Directors approved a payment of deferred interest
($37,535,000) to holders of 2014 Convertible Debentures of record as of
October 8, 1997. The payment was made October 9, 1997. The payment equals a
semi-annual payment of interest at a 10.535% annualized rate earlier approved
by the Board for 1997.
 
  Security Capital's 2016 Convertible Debentures totaling $323,024,000 at
December 31, 1997 and $226,520,000 at December 31, 1996 accrue interest at
6.5% per annum and require semi-annual interest payments on the last business
day of each June and December.
 
  The 2016 Convertible Debentures are convertible into Class A Shares at
$1,153.90 per share, at the option of the holder any time after September 18,
1998, or, if earlier, upon 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. Security Capital may redeem the 2016 Convertible
Debentures at any time after March 29, 1999, upon 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
 
  On April 17, 1997, Security Capital 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 were automatically reclassified
as Class A 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
 
                                      83
<PAGE>

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
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 for each Class A Share. As of January 1, 1998, at the option
of the holder, each Class A Share can be converted into 50 Class B Shares.
Class B Shares are not convertible into Class A Shares.
 
  Included in general, administrative and other expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1997, is a $6.6 million charge associated with an exchange of
Class A Shares for shares of a corporate entity (SCGPB Incorporated) owned by
Security Capital's chairman, whole sole assets were warrants and options to
purchase Class A Shares. The above-described charge represents the value
applicable to the holders' ability to defer exercising the warrants and
options until 2002 in accordance with their terms.
 
 Initial Public Offering:
 
  On September 23, 1997, Security Capital completed an initial offering of
22,569,710 Class B Shares at an average net price of $27.69 per share. The
proceeds from the sale of these shares, net of underwriters' commission and
other expenses, were approximately $591,666,000. The proceeds were used for
the repayment of outstanding bank indebtedness, investment in new businesses
and for general corporate purposes. SC-USREALTY purchased 1,964,286 shares in
the offering without payment of any underwriters' commission.
 
 Completed Capital Offerings:
 
  Security Capital received subscriptions from its March 1996 private
placement offerings of securities totaling $787,097,000. Such subscriptions
consist of Series A Preferred Shares of $139,000,000, common shares of
$323,048,500, and 2016 Convertible Debentures of $323,048,500. All
subscriptions were funded as of March 31, 1997. Included in the fundings was
$110,000,000 received from SC-USREALTY.
 
 Series A Preferred Shares:
 
  On April 1, 1996 Security Capital issued 139,000 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 Class B 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 Class B 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 Class A Shares (a conversion price of
$1,312.61 per share). In February 1998, the holder of the Series A Preferred
Shares agreed upon conversion to convert its Series A Preferred Shares
directly into Class B Shares and to vote its Series A Preferred Shares on an
as converted basis in Class B Shares. 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.
 
  Participants in Security Capital's Debenture Interest Reinvestment Plans may
reinvest the cash portion of their interest payments applicable to Security
Capital's 2016 Convertible Debentures, and 2014 Convertible Debentures
(through June 30, 1997), in Class A Shares at the fair value per share
determined as of the prior quarter end date. As of December 31, 1997, 15,636
Class A Shares have been reserved for issuance under the plan applicable to
the 2016 Convertible Debentures.

(6) STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS
 
  Security Capital has stock 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
Class A Shares and 2014 Convertible Debentures. In 1996, most option grants
were for Class A Shares only. Concurrent with the conversion of the 2014
Convertible Debentures (see note 4), all option grants that had been issued in
units of Class A Shares and 2014 Convertible Debentures were modified so that
they are exercisable only for Class A Shares. 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. As of
December 31, 1997, options to purchase 15,287 Class A Shares are available for
issue.
 
  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):

</TABLE>
 
  Pro forma net earnings for 1997 include a deferred tax benefit of
$4,630,000. There was no such tax benefit for 1996 or 1995.
 
  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 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free
interest rates of 5.87%, 6.32% and 6.26%; expected lives of seven years;
expected dividends--none; and expected volatility of 22% for 1997 and 20% for
1996 and 1995.

(8) INCOME TAXES
 
  Security Capital accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109).
Security Capital files a consolidated federal income tax return. Homestead
also accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 and its tax effects are
included in Security Capital's consolidated financial statements. Homestead
files a separate Federal income tax return. SC-US and SC-E have complied with
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code available to regulated investment
companies and intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and
net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income
taxes has been made in Security Capital's consolidated financial statements
for SC-US or SC-E.
 
  Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 consisted of deferred tax provisions of $56,378,000, $30,872,000 and
none, respectively.
 
  A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal
statutory tax rate of 35% in 1997, 1996 and 1995 to the amount recorded in the
consolidated financial statements is as follows (in thousands):

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
(10) 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 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.
 
  As part of their 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 its financial
condition or results of operations.
 
  At December 31, 1997, Homestead had approximately $241,500,000 of unfunded
commitments for developments under construction.
 
(11) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of December 31, 1997
and 1996 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.
 
  PTR's and ATLANTIC's convertible mortgage notes are convertible into
Homestead common stock 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,
1997, was $395,038,000.

           SCHEDULE I--CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
 
           NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNCONSOLIDATED)
 
1. INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
 
  Security Capital has investments in SC Realty Incorporated ("SC Realty") and
a Services Division. SC Realty and the entities that comprise the Services
Division are wholly owned subsidiaries of Security Capital.
 
  SC Realty commenced operations February 17, 1995 when Security Capital
contributed its investments in Security Capital Industrial Trust, Security
Capital Pacific Trust, Security Capital Pacific Incorporated and Security
Capital Atlantic Incorporated. At December 31, 1997, SC Realty holds interests
in the above-mentioned companies as well as Security Capital U.S. Realty,
Homestead Village Incorporated. Strategic Hotel Capital Incorporated, Security
Capital U.S. Real Estate Shares Incorporated, Security Capital European Real
Estate Shares Incorporated and Security Capital Preferred Growth Incorporated.
The Services Division provides research, operational and capital deployment
oversight, capital management, capital markets, accounting and administrative
services for the companies in which SC Realty has invested. As described in
note 1 to Security Capital's consolidated financial statements, the Services
Division companies were acquired January 1, 1995.
 
  Dividends from consolidated subsidiaries amounted to $65,739,000,
$51,964,000 and $47,500,000 during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
  Effective February 17, 1995, SC Realty became the primary obligor under
Security Capital's revolving bank line of credit. The line is guaranteed by
Security Capital and it contains financial covenants that are applicable to
both SC Realty and Security Capital. The line of credit agreement generally
requires some or all of the following: minimum net worth, liabilities to net
worth, specified interest coverage ratios and limitations on the amount
available for dividends. At December 31, 1997, SC Realty's net assets were
approximately $2.8 billion substantially all of which were restricted and
unavailable for dividends.
 
  The SC Realty line of credit agreement provides for loans of up to
$50,000,000 to Security Capital. Any unpaid principal amounts are due thirty
days after written notice from SC Realty. Interest on unpaid principal amounts
is payable monthly at the rate per annum equal to the average interest rate
paid by SC Realty under the terms of the credit agreement. If SC Realty had no
borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement, then interest would be
computed using the "base rate" (defined as the higher of the Wells Fargo prime
rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%). At December 31, 1997 and 1996,
Security Capital had no outstanding loans payable to SC Realty. Interest
expense on loans from SC Realty during 1997 and 1996 was approximately
$361,000 and $369,000, respectively, and is included in general,
administrative and other expenses in the accompanying condensed Statements of
Operations.
 
2. INCOME TAXES
 
  Security Capital files a consolidated Federal income tax return which
includes SC Realty and the Services Division companies. At December 31, 1997
and 1996, Security Capital's consolidated net operating loss ("NOL")
carryforwards amounted to approximately $61,000,000. Security Capital's income
tax expense ($27,287,000) in 1997 is comprised of $48,777,000 of deferred tax
expense applicable to the gain on sale of the management companies offset by
the effect of the deferred tax asset ($21,490,000) applicable to Security
Capital's NOL carryforwards. In 1997 and 1996 a deferred tax liability was
recorded by SC Realty applicable to its equity method investments.
Accordingly, Security Capital's equity in earnings of SC Realty for 1997 and
1996 has been reduced by deferred income tax expense of $29,091,000 and
$30,872,000, respectively.
 
3. RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
  Certain amounts in 1996 and 1995 have been reclassified to conform to the
1997 presentation.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST:
 
  We have audited the financial statements of SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the
financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule
listed in the accompanying index. 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, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
 
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Business
 
  Security Capital Pacific Trust ("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, its majority-owned subsidiaries and PTR Development
Services Incorporated ("PTR Development Services"), 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 ("GAAP") require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect 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.
 
  PTR capitalizes direct and incremental costs related to the successful
acquisition, development or improvement of real estate, and certain related
indirect costs. Direct and incremental 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 as follows:
 
<TABLE>
             <S>                           <C>
             Buildings and improvements... 20-40 years
             Furnishings and other........  2-10 years
</TABLE>
 
 Repairs and Maintenance and Make-Ready
 
  Repairs and maintenance and make-ready expenditures, including carpet and
appliance replacements, are expensed as incurred to the extent they are not
acquisition-related renovation costs identified during PTR's pre-acquisition
due diligence. Make-ready expenditures are costs incurred in preparing a
vacant Multifamily unit for the next resident.
 
 Interest
 
  During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the total interest paid in cash on all
outstanding debt, net of interest capitalized, was $55,505,000, $23,631,000
and $17,674,000 respectively.
 
                                      100
<PAGE>
 
                        SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  PTR capitalizes interest incurred during the construction period as part of
the cost of Multifamily communities under development. Interest capitalized
during 1997, 1996 and 1995 aggregated $17,606,000, $16,941,000 and
$11,741,000, 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 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $3,181,000,
$2,233,000 and $1,543,000, respectively.
 
 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 term of the related debt
issuance.
 
 Revenue and Gain Recognition
 
  PTR leases its Multifamily units under operating leases with terms of
generally one year or less. 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 GAAP have been met.
 
 Rental Expenses
 
  Rental expenses shown on the accompanying Statements of Earnings include
costs of on-site and property management personnel, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, make-ready, property insurance, marketing, landscaping, and other
on-site and related administrative costs.
 
 Comprehensive Income
 
  PTR adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income in the fourth quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and
its components. Comprehensive income is the total of net earnings attributable
to PTR common shares of beneficial interest, par value $1.00 per share
("Common Share(s)") and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income
represents revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are included in
comprehensive income under GAAP but excluded from net earnings attributable to
Common Shares. During 1996 and 1997, PTR had one other comprehensive income
component, the unrealized gain on the Homestead convertible mortgage notes
("Homestead Notes"), as discussed in Note 3. PTR had no items of other
comprehensive income in 1995. In accordance with SFAS No. 130, PTR's
Statements of Shareholders' Equity for 1996 and 1997 displays comprehensive
income attributable to Common Shares for each respective year.
 
 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
 
  PTR adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, in the fourth quarter of 1997,
which supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 15, Earnings
per Share. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted
earnings per share ("EPS") with a presentation of basic and diluted EPS,
respectively. EPS for all prior periods presented have been restated as
required by SFAS No. 128. Basic EPS has been computed by dividing net earnings
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common
Shares outstanding. Diluted EPS has been calculated from the weighted-average
Common Shares outstanding plus the Common Shares that would be outstanding
assuming conversion of the weighted-average number of outstanding Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value
$1.00 per share ("Series A Preferred Shares") and the assumed exercise of
outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method, as defined in SFAS
No. 128. For purposes of the diluted EPS calculation, dividends on the Series
A Preferred Shares were added back to net earnings attributable to Common
Shares.
 
  Following is a reconciliation of (i) the numerator used to compute basic EPS
to the numerator used to compute diluted EPS, and (ii) the denominator used to
compute basic EPS to the denominator used to compute diluted EPS, for the
periods indicated (numbers in thousands, except per share amounts):

(2) "In Planning" is defined as parcels of land owned or Under Control upon
    which Multifamily construction is expected to commence within 36 months.
    "Under Control" means PTR has an exclusive right (through contingent
    contract or letter of intent) during a contractually agreed-upon time
    period to acquire land for future development of Multifamily communities,
    subject to approval of contingencies during the due diligence process, but
    does not currently own the land. There can be no assurance that such land
    will be acquired.
(3) PTR's investment as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 for developments Under
    Control was $3.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and is reflected
    in the "Other assets" caption of PTR's Balance Sheets.

  At January 31, 1998, PTR had unfunded Multifamily construction and
rehabilitation commitments aggregating approximately $188.2 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 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 receive 95% of its net operating cash flow. 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, 1997, the outstanding balance of development and mortgage
loans made by PTR to third-party owner/developers and PTR Development
Services, including accrued interest, aggregated $125.7 million and $46.4
million, respectively. The activities of third-party owner/developers and PTR
Development Services are consolidated with PTR's activities and all inter-
company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 Gains and Provision for Loss on Real Estate and Investments
 
  Since the inception of the asset optimization strategy in December 1995 and
through December 31, 1997, PTR has redeployed gross proceeds from dispositions
aggregating $616.1 million from markets which management believed had less
attractive long-term growth prospects to well-located communities primarily in
California, Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon and Salt Lake City, Utah
("West Coast Markets") which have high barriers to entry against new supply
and strong economic fundamentals. For federal income tax purposes, the
majority of the dispositions were structured as tax-deferred exchanges which
deferred gain recognition. However, for financial reporting purposes, the
transactions qualified for profit recognition, and aggregate gains of $48.2
million, $37.5 million and $2.6 million, were recorded for 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
 
  As part of this ongoing strategy, PTR was committed to the sale of four
Multifamily communities, four parcels of land and one non-multifamily property
as of December 31, 1997. The aggregate carrying value of these properties held
for disposition was $66.3 million at December 31, 1997. Each property's
carrying value is less than or equal to its estimated fair market value, net
of estimated costs to sell. Subject to normal closing risks, PTR expects to
complete these and other dispositions during 1998 and redeploy the proceeds,
primarily through tax-deferred exchanges, into the acquisition of Multifamily
communities in PTR's West Coast Markets. The property-level earnings, after
interest and depreciation from communities held for disposition at December
31, 1997, which are included in PTR's earnings from operations for 1997, 1996
and 1995 were $4.6 million, $4.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
 
  PTR's 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 $3.0 million and
$0.4 million during 1997 and 1995, respectively, which is included as part of
other expenses in the accompanying Statements of Earnings. The recording of a
provision for loss has no impact on cash flow from operating activities.
 
(3) HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION AND HOMESTEAD NOTES
 
 Homestead Transaction
 
  On October 17, 1996, PTR consummated a merger agreement under which it
contributed its 54 moderate-priced, extended-stay lodging facilities (or the
rights to acquire sites for such properties) ("the Homestead Assets"), known
as Homestead Village(R) properties, to Homestead Village Incorporated
("Homestead"), a newly formed company. In exchange, PTR received 9,485,727
shares of Homestead common stock and approximately $84.5 million (face amount)
in convertible mortgage notes issued by Homestead. In addition, PTR entered
into a funding commitment agreement to provide up to $198.8 million in secured
financing to Homestead for purposes of completing the development and
construction of the properties contributed, in exchange for up to $221.3
million in Homestead Notes (including those received at the merger date). In
exchange for entering into the funding commitment agreement, PTR received
6,363,789 warrants to acquire additional shares of Homestead common stock at a
price of $10.00 per share.
 
  As of October 17, 1996, the Homestead Assets constituted 7.1% of PTR's total
assets. PTR's Homestead Village operations accounted for approximately 8.2% of
PTR's total earnings from operations from January 1, 1996 to October 17, 1996.

</TABLE>
 
  On November 12, 1996, PTR distributed the Homestead common stock and
warrants it received in the transaction to common shareholders of record on
October 29, 1996 (the "Homestead Distribution"). In 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.
 
 Homestead Convertible Mortgage Note Terms
 
  Under the terms of the funding commitment agreement, PTR receives
approximately $1.11 in principal amount of Homestead Notes for every $1.00
funded (i.e., the Homestead Notes are issued at an original issue discount).
The Homestead Notes (i) bear interest at 9.0% of face per annum which is
received in interest-only payments on a semi-annual basis, (ii) are
convertible at PTR's option into one share of Homestead common stock for every
$11.50 of principal outstanding (approximately 19.2 million shares upon full
funding), (iii) are callable by Homestead after October 31, 2001 and (iv)
mature October 31, 2006. The Homestead properties contributed by PTR serve as
collateral individually and in the aggregate under cross-collateral
provisions.
 
  Upon full funding of the Homestead Notes, PTR's conversion rights would
represent a 29.2% ownership interest in Homestead, as of January 31, 1998.
This ownership interest assumes no further equity issuances by Homestead, and
conversion of all outstanding Homestead Notes by PTR and Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated.
 
 Carrying Value
 
  The original issue discount, which represents the difference between the
funded and face amount of the Homestead Notes, is being amortized into
interest income over the term of the Homestead Notes. Similarly, the intrinsic
value attributed to the conversion feature on the merger date has been
recorded as an additional component of the Homestead Notes' balance and the
corresponding discount (a deferred credit) is also being amortized into
interest income over the term. The difference between the fair value of the
Homestead Notes (assuming conversion), as calculated based upon the trading
price of Homestead's common stock on the American Stock Exchange at December
31, 1997, ($15.063) 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. The unrealized holding gain
aggregated $83.8 million and $74.9 million as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

</TABLE>
 
  As of December 31, 1997, PTR had funded $186.9 million of its $198.8 million
funding commitment. The remaining $11.9 million is expected to be provided to
Homestead during 1998.
 
 Deferred Revenue
 
  As described above, Homestead warrants were received in exchange for
entering into the funding commitment agreement. The warrants had an intrinsic
value on the merger date of $14.7 million which was deemed to represent the
commitment fee. The commitment fee has been recorded as deferred revenue which
is part of accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying 1997
Balance Sheet.
 
 Interest Income Recognized
 
  The aggregate income recognized on the Homestead Notes consists of the sum
of the following components:
 
    (i) the face rate of 9%,
    (ii) the amortization of the original issue discount,
    (iii) the amortization of the discount on the conversion feature, and
    (iv) the amortization of the deferred revenue representing the commitment
  fee.
 
  PTR uses the effective interest method to calculate the amortization of the
components listed in (ii), (iii) and (iv) above over the term of the Homestead
Notes. The effective interest rate on the funded amount is in excess of 12.4%
per annum (10.7% excluding the components in (iii) and (iv) above).
 
(4) BORROWINGS
 
 Credit Facilities
 
  PTR has a $350 million unsecured revolving line of credit with a group of
financial institutions (the "Lenders") led by Chase Bank of Texas, National
Association ("Chase"). The line matures August 1999 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 (8.50% at December 31, 1997) or
the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or at PTR's option, LIBOR (6.00% at
December 31, 1997) plus 0.75%. The spread over LIBOR can vary from LIBOR plus
0.50% to LIBOR plus 1.50% based upon the rating of PTR's long-term unsecured
senior notes ("Long-Term Debt" or "Notes"). Additionally, there is a
commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit balance. The commitment
fee was $358,000, $396,000 and $502,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

  On September 9, 1996, PTR entered into a short-term, unsecured, borrowing
agreement with Chase. The loan matures on March 18, 1998 although management
intends to extend the agreement to March 19, 1999. The loan bears interest at
an overnight rate, which ranged during 1997 from 5.94% to 7.13% (7.13% at
December 31, 1997). At December 31, 1997 and 1996, there was $8.0 million and
$10.5 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under this agreement.

 Long-Term Debt
 
  PTR has issued Long-Term Debt which bears interest at fixed rates, payable
semi-annually. Funds from such issuances were used primarily for acquisition,
development and renovation of Multifamily communities and to repay balances on
credit facilities incurred for such purposes. The following table summarizes
the Long-Term Debt as of December 31, 1997:

 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 leverage ratios. PTR was in
compliance with all covenants pertaining to its debt instruments at December
31, 1997.
 
(5) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
  PTR, to maintain its status as a REIT, is required to distribute at least
95% of PTR's taxable income. PTR announces the following year's projected
annual distribution level after the PTR Board of Trustees' ("Board" or
"Trustees") annual budget review and approval in December of each year. At its
December 2, 1997 Board meeting, the Board announced an increase in the annual
distribution level from $1.30 to $1.36 per Common Share and declared the first
quarter 1998 distribution of $0.34 per Common Share. The first quarter
distribution was paid on February 25, 1998 to shareholders of record on
February 11, 1998. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion
of the Board and is dependent upon the strategy, 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.

  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.
 
  The warrants distributed to holders of PTR's Common Shares and Series A
Preferred Shares by Security Capital Group after the closing of the Merger
(see Note 7), were valued at $6.88 per warrant for federal income tax
purposes, all of which was taxable as ordinary income.
 
  For federal income tax purposes, the following summaries reflect the
taxability of dividends paid on Series A Preferred Shares and Series B
Preferred Shares, respectively, for periods prior to 1997 and the estimated
taxability for 1997. The Series A and Series B Preferred Shares are discussed
in Note 6.

  Due to the increase in the conversion ratio (Note 6) 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, 1997 has not been filed,
and the taxability information for 1997 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.

(6) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
 Shares of Beneficial Interest
 
  At December 31, 1997, 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, Common or Preferred Shares. From time to time
the Board establishes the number of preferred shares to be included in a
series and fixes 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, 1997 of $135.2 million. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares
are entitled only to limited voting rights under certain conditions. During
1997, 1,086,574 of PTR's Series A Preferred Shares were converted, at the
option of the holders, into 1,463,448 Common Shares.
 
  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 payable 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. Based on the projected 1998 distribution level of $1.36 per
Common Share, the projected 1998 dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares is
$1.832 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 Non-Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of
Beneficial Interest, par value $1.00 per share ("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
$101.3 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 any accrued but 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).
 
  The Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are collectively
referred to as "Preferred Shares". Preferred Share 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. All
dividends due and payable on

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
Preferred Shares have been accrued and paid as of the end of each fiscal year.
Both series of Preferred Shares rank on a parity as to distributions and
liquidation proceeds.
 
  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.
 
 Establishment of 401(k) Plan and Nonqualified Savings Plan
 
  At the December 2, 1997 Board meeting, The Board established and approved
the adoption of a 401(k) savings plan for the benefit of its employees,
effective January 1, 1998 (the "401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan provides for
matching employer contributions in Common Shares of 50 cents for every dollar
contributed by an employee, up to 6% of the employees' annual compensation.
The vesting of contributed Common Shares is based on years of service, with
20% vesting each year of service, over a five-year period. PTR filed a Form S-
8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 5, 1998,
registering 200,000 Common Shares for the issuance of the matching
contributions by PTR under the 401(k) Plan.
 
  The Board also established and approved the adoption of the Nonqualified
Savings Plan ("NSP") to provide benefits for a select group of management or
highly compensated employees, effective January 1, 1998. The purpose of the
NSP is to allow the employee the opportunity to defer the receipt and income
taxation of a portion of compensation in excess of the amount permitted under
the 401(k) Plan. Under the NSP, these employees may defer up to 35% of their
annual salary and 100% of their annual target bonus. Under the NSP and in
coordination with the 401(k) Plan, PTR will match 2% of the employees' annual
compensation since highly compensated employees will be limited to a 4%
contribution in the 401(k) Plan. The matching account will vest in the same
manner as the 401(k) Plan.
 
 Establishment of Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
 
  At the December 2, 1997 Board meeting, PTR's Board established and approved
the adoption of the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan ("DRSP").
Under the DRSP, Common shareholders have the ability to automatically reinvest
their cash dividends to purchase additional Common Shares. Additionally,
existing and prospective investors have the ability to tender cash payments
that will be applied towards the purchase of Common Shares, subject to certain
limitations. On January 21, 1998, PTR filed a Form S-3 registering the
offering of 2,000,000 Common Shares, which may be issued pursuant to the terms
of the DRSP.
 
 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 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
Board 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
 
                                      116
<PAGE>
 
                        SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
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 Group Incorporated ("Security
Capital Group") 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 33.1% of PTR's
total outstanding Common Shares at December 31, 1997. 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 purchase right
("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 PTR Junior
Participating Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share ("Participating
Preferred Shares"), at a price of $60.00 per one one-hundredth of
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 December 15, 1997, PTR filed a $400 million shelf registration with the
SEC to supplement an existing shelf registration with a balance of $170.9
million. These securities can be issued in the form of Long-Term Debt, Common
Shares or Preferred Shares on an as-needed basis, subject to PTR's ability to
effect offerings on satisfactory terms. As of December 31, 1997 PTR had
approximately $570.9 million in shelf-registered securities available for
issuance. See Note 13, "Subsequent Event."
 
 Equity Offerings
 
  During 1995, PTR sold $105 million of Series B Preferred Shares as described
above and received $216.3 million in net proceeds from the Common Share
subscription offering described in Note 9.
 
                                      117
<PAGE>
 
                        SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  On June 4, 1997, PTR sold 2.5 million Common Shares to Goldman, Sachs & Co.
for an aggregate purchase price of $54.5 million. The net proceeds of $54.3
million (net of $150,000 of offering costs) were used to repay borrowings
under PTR's $350 million unsecured revolving line of credit and its short-term
borrowing agreement with Chase.
 
  In connection with the Merger described in Note 7, PTR commenced a rights
offering on August 6, 1997 pursuant to which it distributed to its
shareholders Rights to subscribe for and purchase up to 7,433,433 Common
Shares at a subscription price of $21.8125 per Common Share. Simultaneously
with the offering of Common Shares to Rights holders, Security Capital Markets
Group Incorporated, which is owned by Security Capital Group, sought investors
on a best efforts basis, to oversubscribe and acquire unsubscribed shares. Due
to strong investor demand, PTR sold and issued an additional 1,486,686 Common
Shares for a total of 8,920,119 Common Shares at the subscription price of
$21.8125 per share. The net proceeds of $194.1 million (net of $450,000 of
offering costs) were used to pay down PTR's $350 million unsecured revolving
line of credit.
 
(7) ACQUISITION OF REIT MANAGER AND PROPERTY MANAGER
 
  Effective September 9, 1997, PTR terminated its REIT management agreement
with Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the "REIT Manager") and its
property management agreement with SCG Realty Services Incorporated (the
"Property Manager"), pursuant to a merger (the "Merger") whereby PTR acquired
the operations and businesses of the REIT Manager and the Property Manger (the
"Management Companies") valued at approximately $75.8 million from Security
Capital Group in exchange for 3,295,533 Common Shares. The number of Common
Shares issued to Security Capital Group was determined using a per Common
Share price of $23.0125 (the average market price of Common Shares over the
five-day period prior to the August 6, 1997 record date for determining PTR's
shareholders entitled to vote on the Merger). The Board approved the Merger
based on the recommendation of a special committee comprised of independent
members of the Board who received a fairness opinion on the Merger from a
third-party investment bank. The Merger, which required the approval of a two-
thirds majority of PTR's outstanding Common Shares, was approved by
approximately 99% of the shareholders voting on the transaction on September
8, 1997. As a result of the transaction, PTR became an internally managed REIT
and Security Capital Group remains PTR's largest shareholder (33.1% ownership
at January 31, 1998).
 
  The market value of the 3,295,533 Common Shares issued to Security Capital
Group on September 9, 1997 upon PTR's acquisition of the REIT and property
managers was approximately $73.3 million, based on the $22.25 per share
closing price of the Common Shares on September 8, 1997. Of this amount,
approximately $1.6 million was allocated to the estimated fair value of the
tangible net assets acquired. The $71.7 million difference between the market
value of the Common Shares and the estimated fair value of the net tangible
assets acquired was recorded as "costs incurred in acquiring the Management
Companies from an affiliate" (a non-cash expense) on PTR's statement of
earnings. The difference was not recorded as "goodwill" on the balance sheet,
since the Management Companies did not qualify as businesses for purposes of
applying APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations.
 
  As a result of the Merger, PTR no longer pays REIT management and property
management fees to Security Capital Group. Instead, PTR directly incurs the
personnel and other costs related to these functions. The costs relating to
property management are recorded as rental expenses whereas the costs
associated with managing the REIT are recorded as general and administrative
expenses. Direct and incremental costs related to successful development and
acquisition activities are capitalized as part of the related real estate
basis in accordance with GAAP. Prior to the Merger, the REIT management
agreement required PTR to pay a fee of 16% of cash flow from operations, as
defined in the agreement.
 
                                      118
<PAGE>
 
                        SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  Upon closing of the Merger, PTR entered into an Administrative Services
Agreement ("ASA") with Security Capital Group for the provision of services
which include, but are not limited to, research, payroll and human resources,
cash management, accounts payable, data processing, investor relations, and
insurance, legal and tax administration. PTR may purchase all or any
combination of these services in exchange for a fee equal to Security Capital
Group's direct cost of such services plus 20%. These fees may not exceed
market rates and are subject to a maximum of approximately $5.5 million during
1998. Cost savings experienced by Security Capital Group under the ASA accrue
to PTR. ASA costs related to successful acquisition and development activities
are capitalized as part of the related real estate basis. The ASA, which
expires on December 31, 1998, provides for annual renewals of consecutive one-
year terms, subject to approval by a majority of the independent members of
the Board.
 
  In addition, Security Capital Group issued $102.0 million of warrants pro
rata directly to holders of PTR's Common Shares and Series A Preferred Shares
(other than Security Capital Group), to acquire 3,644,430 shares of Class B
common stock of Security Capital Group. Holders of Common Shares received
0.052646 warrants for each Common Share held whereas holders of Series A
Preferred Shares received 0.070909 warrants for each preferred share held.
Each warrant can be exercised for one share of Security Capital Class B common
stock at an exercise price of $28 per share and has a term of one year.
Security Capital Group issued these warrants to PTR shareholders as an
incentive to vote in favor of the Merger and to raise additional equity
capital at a relatively low cost, in addition to other benefits.
 
(8) LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
 
  On September 8, 1997, PTR's common shareholders approved PTR's Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), which includes an employee stock
purchase plan and a stock option plan. No more than 5,650,000 Common Shares in
the aggregate may be awarded under the Incentive Plan and no individual may be
awarded more than 500,000 Common Shares in any one-year period. The Incentive
Plan has a 10-year term.
 
  Additionally, PTR has authorized 100,000 Common Shares for issuance to
outside members of the Board. The exercise price of Outside Trustee options
may not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Such options
have a term of five years and are exercisable in whole or in part.
 
 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
  Under the employee stock purchase plan, certain officers and other employees
of PTR purchased 813,430 Common Shares at a price of $22.0625 per share on
September 8, 1997. No significant additional employee stock purchase plan
awards are currently anticipated. PTR financed 95% of the total purchase price
through 10-year, recourse notes from the participants aggregating $17.1
million. The notes, which have been recorded as a deduction in shareholders'
equity, bear interest at the lower of 6% per annum or the dividend yield of a
Common Share determined based on the initial share purchase price
(approximately 5.89% at December 31, 1997). The notes are secured by the
Common Shares purchased. For each Common Share purchased, participants were
granted two options, each to purchase one Common Share at a price of $22.0625
per share. Proceeds from this sale of Common Shares, net of the notes
received, were $0.8 million. The change in the notes from employees during
1997 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

  PTR has adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which
allows PTR to continue to account for its various stock option plans using APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), and
related interpretations. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the stock
options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant,
no compensation expense is recognized. Accordingly, PTR did not recognize
compensation expense related to stock options as the exercise price of all
options granted was equal to the market price on the date of grant. Had
compensation cost for these plans been determined using the option valuation

 Dividend Equivalent Units ("DEU's")
 
  On December 31, 1997, PTR awarded 2,196 DEUs to the holders of 220,325 stock
options at a rate of one DEU for each Common Share under option. A DEU is
equal to the difference between PTR's annual Common Share dividend yield and
the S&P 500 average dividend yield times the number of shares under option.
Options awarded under the employee stock purchase plan are not eligible for
DEU's. The DEU's are awarded on December 31st of each year under the stock
option plan and vest under the same terms as the underlying stock options. The
awarded DEU's were valued at $54,000 on December 31, 1997 based upon the
market price of the Common Shares on that date. PTR recognizes the value of
the DEU's awarded as compensation expense over the vesting period.
 
(9) 1995 PACIFIC MERGER AND CONCURRENT SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING
 
  On March 23, 1995, PTR consummated a merger with Security Capital Pacific
Incorporated (the "PACIFIC Merger"). Security Capital Pacific Incorporated
("PACIFIC") was a private Multifamily REIT controlled by Security Capital
Group, PTR's principal shareholder. PACIFIC's portfolio consisted primarily of
17 operating garden-style apartment ("Multifamily") communities aggregating
5,579 units. In the PACIFIC 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 PACIFIC 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
PACIFIC 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
PACIFIC Merger occurred on January 1, 1995, and represents the combined
historical operating results of PTR and PACIFIC for 1995. No material pro
forma adjustments to revenue and expenses were required. The weighted-average

outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the PACIFIC 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 1995 (in thousands, except per share amounts).

</TABLE>
 
  Concurrently with the consummation of the PACIFIC Merger, PTR completed a
subscription offering of 13.2 million Common Shares pursuant to which PTR
received net proceeds of $216.3 million. The subscription offering was
designed to allow shareholders of PTR to purchase Common Shares at the same
price at which PACIFIC shareholders acquired Common Shares in the PACIFIC
Merger ($16.375 per Common Share). Security Capital Group purchased $50
million (3.1 million Common Shares at $16.375 per Common Share) in the
subscription offering pursuant to the oversubscription privilege.
 
(10) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  The following disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments
were 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, 1997 and 1996, 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 3, the Homestead Notes outstanding at
December 31, 1997 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, 1997 and 1996, based on the terms
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 debt transactions to
manage well-defined interest rate risk.
 
  In anticipation of the March 6, 1998 Long-Term Debt offering discussed in
Note 13 "Subsequent Event," PTR entered into four separate interest rate
contracts in 1997 with notional amounts aggregating $120 million. As of
December 31, 1997, the fair value of these interest rate contracts, based on
broker estimates, was an unrealized loss of approximately $6.6 million ($5.5
million realized loss as of March 6, 1998). Similarly in 1996, PTR entered
into interest rate contracts with notional amounts aggregating $50 million in
anticipation of the $50 million Long-Term Debt offering that closed March 31,
1997. Upon completion of the offering, PTR terminated the interest rate
contracts, realizing a gain of approximately $819,000.

  The gain or loss ultimately realized on a hedge is deferred and amortized
over the term of the related debt issuance.
 
(11) SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
 
  Selected quarterly financial data (in thousands except per share amounts)
for 1997 and 1996 are as summarized below. Net earnings (loss) per Common
Share for each period presented have been restated to conform with the
requirements of SFAS No. 128. The sum of the quarterly earnings (loss) per
Common Share amounts may not equal the annual earnings per Common Share
amounts due to the impact of equity issuances.

  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 conducts Phase I

environmental assessments on each property prior to acquisition. 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,
1997. 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.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On March 6, 1998, PTR issued $125 million in Long-Term Debt. The debt was
issued in the form of 7.20% Notes which pay interest semi-annually on March 1
and September 1 of each year through March 1, 2013, the maturity date. Annual
principal installments of $25 million commence on March 1, 2009. The 7.20%
Notes have an original weighted average life to maturity of 13.0 years. The
all-in effective interest rate of the 7.20% Notes, including discounts and
issuance costs is approximately 7.86%. PTR used the $118.3 million of net
proceeds primarily to pay down PTR's $350 million revolving line of credit,
which had an outstanding balance of $145.0 million after the paydown on March
6, 1998.

                   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, 1997 and 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997. 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, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                       SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
 
  Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), a Maryland real estate investment
trust ("REIT"), is a publicly held global owner and operator of distribution
properties focused exclusively on meeting the distribution space needs of
international, national, regional and local industrial real estate users
through the SCI International 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 corporate distribution facilities for its customers. 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, 1997, SCI's portfolio contained
90,843,000 square feet in 1,005 operating buildings and SCI had an additional
8,442,000 square feet under development in 62 buildings for a total of
99,285,000 square feet in 44 target market cities in the United States, Mexico
and Europe.
 
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 1997, 1996 and 1995,
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. 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 1997 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 the formation of partnerships (Note 6) wherein SCI
contributed cash and the limited partners contributed real estate
 
                                      136

                       SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
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.
 
 Long-Lived Assets
 
  Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. SCI's management also
periodically reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of such assets may not be recoverable. In management's opinion, long-lived
assets, including real estate assets, are not carried at amounts in excess of
their estimated net realizable values.
 
 Capitalized Compensation and Overhead Costs
 
  Compensation and overhead costs incurred for development, renovation,
acquisition, and leasing activities that are incremental and identifiable to
specific and successful projects or leases are capitalized and depreciated
over their useful lives as discussed in Real Estate and Depreciation or, in
the case of leasing costs, amortized over SCI's average lease term of four
years.
 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
  Effective December 15, 1997, SCI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128
supersedes APB Opinion No. 15 and requires restatement of prior years'
earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary and
fully diluted earnings per share with a presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were
exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of
Common Shares that then shared in earnings. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 had
no effect on SCI's reported earnings per share for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996, and 1995.
 
  The FASB has also released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS No. 129"). SCI
already complied with the requirements of the statement which is effective for
periods ending after December 15, 1997.
 
 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, 1997 and 1996 are costs of $7.9
million and $9.2 million, respectively, associated with obtaining financing
(Note 5) 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.

                       SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 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. As of
December 31, 1997, a total of 5,089,258 limited partnership units were held by
minority interest limited partners in the various real estate partnerships
(Note 6). Limited partners are entitled to exchange each partnership unit for
one Common Share of SCI.
 
 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.
 
 Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
 
  Foreign currency forward contracts used in conjunction with the purchase and
financing of a business are marked to market at the financial statement date
and the gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the consolidated results of
operations.
 
 Foreign Currency Translation/Remeasurement
 
  For foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar,
assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the
end of the year and income statement accounts are translated at the average
exchange rates for the year. Translation gains and losses are included as a
separate component of stockholders' equity in a Cumulative Translation
Adjustments account. For foreign subsidiaries who have transactions
denominated in currencies other than their functional currency, nonmonetary
assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical rates, monetary assets and
liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the
year, and income statement accounts are remeasured at average exchange rates
for the year. The remeasurement gains and losses of such foreign subsidiaries
are included in the consolidated results of operations as foreign exchange
gains or losses.
 
 Employee Stock Based Compensation
 
  SCI has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") and continues to
apply the accounting provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25") as allowed under SFAS No. 123 and makes
proforma fair value disclosures required by SFAS No. 123. In accordance with
APB No. 25, total compensation cost is measured by the difference between the
quoted market price of stock at the date of grant or award and the price, if
any, to be paid by an employee and is recognized as expense over the period
the employee performs related services.

 Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
 
  SCI's investment in 100% of the preferred stock of SCI Logistics Services
Incorporated ("SCI Logistics") is accounted for under the equity method
because SCI exercises significant influence over the operating and financial
activities of SCI Logistics (Note 4). Accordingly, the investment in SCI
Logistics is carried at cost as adjusted for SCI's proportionate share of SCI
Logistics' earnings or losses.
 
3. REAL ESTATE
 
  Real estate investments are comprised of income producing distribution
facilities, construction in progress and land held for distribution facility
development in the following markets:

  Capitalized preacquisition costs include $3,644,000 and $1,634,000 of funds
on deposit with title companies as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, for property acquisitions. In addition to the December 31, 1997
construction payable accrual of $27.2 million, SCI had unfunded commitments on
its contracts for developments under construction totaling $146.4 million.
 
  Other real estate income consists primarily of gains on disposition of
undepreciated property and fees and other income from corporate distribution
facilities services generated to a large extent by SCI Development Services
Incorporated ("SCI Development Services"). SCI Development Services develops
corporate distribution facilities to meet customer requirements 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 100% preferred stock ownership,
SCI will realize substantially all economic benefits of SCI Development
Services' activities. Further, SCI advances mortgage loans to SCI Development
Services to fund acquisition, development and construction

("AD&C") activity. In accordance with accounting guidance for AD&C lending,
SCI accounts for these loans as real estate investments, effectively
consolidating the activities of SCI Development Services. As of December 31,
1997, 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 $184.8 million. SCI
Development Services pays federal and state taxes at the applicable corporate
rate.
 
  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 1.0% of SCI's 1997 rental income (on
an annualized basis), and the annualized base rent for SCI's 20 largest
customers accounted for less than 12.4% of SCI's 1997 rental income (on an
annualized basis). Minimum lease payments receivable on non-cancelable leases

 Line of Credit
 
  SCI has a $350.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with
NationsBank of Texas, N.A. ("NationsBank") (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 0.95% based
upon SCI's current senior debt ratings. The prime rate was 8.5% and the 30-day
LIBOR rate was 5.71875% at December 31, 1997. Additionally, there is a
commitment fee ranging from .125% to .20% 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 $1.25 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 1.75 to 1. SCI is in compliance with
all covenants contained in the line of credit, and as of December 31, 1997, no
borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit.
 
  On October 1, 1997, SCI extended its $25.0 million short-term unsecured
discretionary line of credit with NationsBank through October 1, 1998. The
rate of interest and the maturity date of each advance will be determined by
agreement between SCI and NationsBank at the time of each advance. There were
no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit at December 31, 1997.
 
  A summary of SCI's line of credit borrowings is as follows for the years
ended December 31, (in thousands):

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

fiscal quarters is not less than 1.5 to 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, 1997, SCI was in compliance with all debt covenants
contained in the Indenture.

6. 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 $3.0 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, 1997,
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

                       SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
Partnership-II increased to 97.6%, and SCI's outstanding Common Shares
increased by 555,651 shares. As of December 31, 1997, 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. During the
fourth quarter of 1997 certain limited partners in SCI Limited Partnership-III
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-III increased to 80.6%, and
SCI's outstanding Common Shares increased by 105,000 shares. As of December
31, 1997, there were 409,900 limited partnership units outstanding in SCI
Limited Partnership-III.
 
  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 96.4% 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 totaling 3.6% in
Partnership-IV. SCI contributed an additional $2.5 million to the partnership
between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 1997, in conjunction with tax
deferred exchanges of real estate, which increased SCI's interest from 96.4%
to 96.7%. SCI IV, Inc., as general partner, manages the activities of
Partnership-IV and has fiduciary responsibilities to Partnership-IV and its
other partners. At December 31, 1997, there were 68,612 limited partnership
units outstanding in Partnership-IV and no units had been exchanged.
 
  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, 1997 and
1996. Partnership-IV had $8.9 million and $1.4 million of borrowings from SCI
IV, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. SCI IV, Inc. had $8.9
million and $1.4 million of borrowings from SCI and its affiliates at December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For financial reporting purposes, the assets,
liabilities, results of operations and cash 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 entitled to receive preferential cumulative
quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly distribution in
respect of Common Shares.
 
7. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
  On December 22, 1997, SCI raised net proceeds of $200.0 million from a
private placement of 8,416,667 Common Shares at a price of $24 per share. SCI
paid Security Capital Markets Group Incorporated, a registered broker-dealer
subsidiary of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"), a $2.0
million fee for their services in connection with the offering. Security
Capital, SCI's largest shareholder, purchased 3,125,067 Common Shares in the
December offering at $24 per share. At December 31, 1997, Security Capital
owned 42.5% of SCI's Common Shares.
 
  On August 6, 1997, in connection with the consummation of the Merger (see
Note 11), SCI commenced a rights offering to sell 4,970,352 Common Shares at
$21 per share. The rights offering was designed to allow

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
SCI's shareholders, other than Security Capital, the opportunity to maintain
their relative ownership in SCI by purchasing additional Common Shares at a
price which was below the price at which Security Capital received Common
Shares in the Merger. On September 9, 1997, SCI offered an additional 994,070
Common Shares at $21 per share 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 these Common Shares were issued in September
1997, and net proceeds from these offerings totaled $124.9 million.
 
  On June 24, 1997, SCI's shareholder's voted to increase SCI's authorized
capitalization from 150 million to 180 million shares of beneficial interest.
 
  On March 24, 1997, SCI issued 48,809 Common Shares in conjunction with an
acquisition of property. 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 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. Security Capital

offering at the same price paid by the public.
 
  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 at the time of issuance 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. There were 49,700 Series B Preferred

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
Shares converted into 63,720 Common Shares in the fourth quarter of 1997.
There were 8,000,300 Series B Preferred Shares outstanding as of December 31,
1997.
 
  On September 29, 1995, SCI issued 9,421,505 Common Shares at $15.375 per
share and received subscriptions for 6,838,658 additional Common Shares at the
same price in conjunction with a rights offering (gross proceeds of $250.0

the shares sold).
 
  On June 21, 1995, SCI issued 5,400,000 Series A Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (the "Series A Preferred Shares"). The
Series A Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share

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.
 
 Long-Term Incentive Plan and Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees
 
  On September 8, 1997, SCI's common shareholders approved a long-term
incentive plan (the "Incentive Plan"), which provides for awards consisting of
the following: 1) options to purchase Common Shares, 2) dividend equivalent
units ("DEUs") on options, 3) a share purchase program, and 4) share awards.
No more than 9,600,000 Common Shares in the aggregate may be awarded under the
Incentive Plan and no individual may be granted awards with respect to more
than 500,000 Common Shares in any one-year period. On July 16, 1997, SCI filed
a registration statement with the SEC to register the issuance of Common
Shares in connection with the Incentive Plan.
 
  Under the Incentive Plan, certain employees of SCI purchased 1,356,834
Common Shares on September 8, 1997, at a price of $21.21875 per share (the
average of the high and low price per share on September 8, 1997). SCI
financed 95% of the total purchase price through ten-year, recourse loans to
the participants aggregating $27.3 million (including $22.5 million due from
officers of SCI). The loans, which have been recognized as a deduction from
Shareholders' Equity, bear interest at the lower of SCI's annual dividend
yield or 6% per annum. The loans are secured by the Common Shares purchased.
For each Common Share purchased, participants were granted options to purchase
two additional Common Shares at a price of $21.21875. As of December 31, 1997,
the outstanding balance on employee share purchase notes due to SCI totaled
$27.2 million.
 
  Also, on September 8, 1997, SCI awarded options to purchase 354,484 Common
Shares for $21.21875 per share to officers and certain employees of SCI. On
December 10, 1997, additional options were awarded to officers for 20,860
Common Shares at a price of $23.97. These option awards are entitled to DEUs
each December 31, depending on the relationship between SCI's Common Share
dividend yield and the S&P 500 average dividend yield for the year. On
December 31, 1997, 2,636 DEUs were awarded to option holders under this plan.
DEU's will vest as the applicable options vest and entitle the holder to one
Common Share for each DEU. The 3,077,291 options outstanding under the
Incentive Plan on December 31, 1997 have five or nine year vesting schedules.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  In accordance with the accounting provisions of APB No. 25, no compensation
cost has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements for
outstanding stock options. Had compensation cost for the Incentive Plan been
determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, SCI's net income and earnings per
share for the year ended December 31, 1997 would have been reduced to the
following pro forma amounts:

  Since employee stock options vest over several years and additional grants
are likely to be made in future years, the resulting pro forma compensation
cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.
 
  The weighted average fair value of options granted pursuant to SCI's
Incentive Plan during 1997 was $6.7 million. Under SFAS No. 123, compensation
cost is recognized for the fair value of the employees' purchase rights, which
was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

  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 of Common Shares on the date of the grant. At
December 31, 1997 there were 26,000 options outstanding under the Outside
Trustees Plan.

(4) The holders under this plan are awarded dividend equivalent units each
    year of the plan. The DEUs awarded will vest beginning on September 8,
    1999 at a rate of 25% per year through September 8, 2002.
 
  Additionally, as of December 31, 1997, there were 11,764 warrants
outstanding with an exercise price of $10.00. The warrants were issued on
February 3, 1993 and expire June 21, 2003.
 
Establishment of 401(k) Plan and Nonqualified Savings Plan
 
  In 1997, the Board established and approved the adoption of a 401(k) Plan
for the benefit of its employees, effective January 1, 1998. The 401(k) Plan
provides for matching employer contributions in Common Shares of 50 cents for
every dollar contributed by an employee, up to 6% of the employees' annual
compensation up to the statutory compensation limit. The vesting of
contributed Common Shares is based on years of service, with 20% vesting each
year of service, over a five-year period. On July 16, 1997, SCI filed a
registration statement with the SEC to register the issuance of 190,000 Common
Shares in connection with the 401(k) Plan.
 
  In 1997, the Trustees also established and approved the adoption of the
Nonqualified Savings Plan (the "NSP") to provide benefits for a select group
of management or highly compensated employees, effective January 1, 1998. The
purpose of the NSP is to allow highly compensated employees the opportunity to
defer the receipt and income taxation of a portion of compensation in excess
of the amount permitted under the 401(k)

Plan. Under the NSP, these employees may defer up to 35% of their annual
salary and 100% of their annual target bonus and in coordination with the
401(k) Plan, SCI will match the lesser of (a) 50% of the sum of deferrals
under the 401(k) Plan plus deferrals under the NSP, and (b) 3% of total
compensation up to $160,000 minus the amount of match contributed by SCI under
the 401(k) Plan. The matching account will vest in the same manner as the
401(k) Plan.
 
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.
 
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.

      5,194 weighted average partnership units outstanding and 10,319 and
      8,831 weighted average Series B Preferred Shares outstanding on an as-
      converted basis, respectively, that were not assumed converted into
      Common Shares since they were antidilutive to earnings per share. These
      securities may become dilutive to earnings per share in subsequent
      years.
 
9. DISTRIBUTIONS:
 
  The annual distribution per Common Share was $1.07 in 1997, $1.01 in 1996
and $0.935 in 1995. Distributions attributable to realized gains on the
disposition of real estate may be considered for payment to shareholders on a
special, as-incurred basis. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, SCI had no
accumulated undistributed net realized gain on disposition of real estate.
 
  For Federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of
distributions paid on Common Shares in 1996 and 1995 and the estimated
taxability for 1997:

  On December 11, 1997, SCI declared a distribution of $0.285 per Common Share
payable on February 24, 1998 to shareholders of record as of February 10,
1998. At the same time, SCI announced that it set an annualized distribution
level of $1.14 per Common Share for 1998.

  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.
 
  For Federal income tax purposes, the following summary reflects the

11.CONSUMMATION OF MERGER:
 
  On September 8, 1997, SCI's shareholders voted to approve an agreement with
Security Capital to exchange Security Capital's REIT management and property
management companies for 3,692,023 Common Shares (the "Merger"). As a result,
SCI became an internally managed REIT on September 9, 1997 with Security
Capital remaining as SCI's largest shareholder. The $81.9 million value of the
management companies was approved by the independent Trustees and a fairness
opinion was obtained from a third party investment bank. Pursuant to the terms
of the Merger Agreement, the number of shares issued to Security Capital was
based on the average market price of the Common Shares ($22.175) over the
five-day period prior to the August 6, 1997 record date for determining the
SCI shareholders entitled to vote on the Merger. The market value of the
Common Shares issued to Security Capital on September 9, 1997 was $79.8
million of which $4.4 million was allocated to the net tangible assets
acquired and the $75.4 million difference was accounted for as costs incurred
in acquiring the management companies from a related party. For accounting
purposes the management companies were not considered "businesses" for
purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations", and
therefore the market value of the Common Shares issued in excess of the fair
value of the net tangible assets acquired was charged to operating income
rather than capitalized as goodwill.

                       SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  As a result of the Merger, SCI no longer pays REIT management and property
management fees to Security Capital through Security Capital's former
subsidiaries, Security Capital Industrial Incorporated (the "REIT Manager")
and SCI Client Services Incorporated (the "Property Manager"), respectively.
All employees of the REIT Manager and Property Manager became employees of SCI
and SCI directly incurs the personnel and other costs related to these
functions. The costs relating to property management are recorded as rental
expenses whereas the costs associated with managing the REIT are recorded as
general and administrative expenses. Direct and incremental costs related to
successful development, acquisition, and leasing activities are capitalized in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  Upon consummation of the Merger, SCI and Security Capital entered into an
administrative services agreement (the "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 human resources,
cash management, accounts payable, MIS support and other computer services,
research, investor relations and insurance, legal and tax administration. Fees
payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security Capital's cost of
providing such services, plus an overhead factor of 20%, subject to a maximum
amount of approximately $7.1 million during the initial term of the agreement,
which expires on December 31, 1998. Cost savings under the Administrative
Services Agreement will accrue to SCI. The agreement will be automatically
renewed for consecutive one-year terms subject to approval by a majority of
the independent Trustees. Fees paid to Security Capital for services rendered
from the period September 9, 1997 to December 31, 1997 totaled $1.1 million.
 
  In addition, after the closing of the Merger, Security Capital issued $101.0
million of warrants pro rata to holders of SCI's Common Shares (other than
Security Capital), Series B Preferred Shares and limited partnership units
("Unitholders"), to acquire 3,608,202 shares of Class B common stock of
Security Capital. SCI common shareholders and Unitholders received 0.046549
warrants for each Common Share or unit held and Series B preferred
shareholders received 0.059676 warrants for each preferred share held. Each
warrant can be exercised for one share of Security Capital Class B common
stock at an exercise price of $28 per share and has a term of one year from
the date of issuance. Security Capital issued these warrants as an incentive
to SCI shareholders to vote in favor of the Merger and to raise additional
equity capital at a relatively low cost in addition to other benefits.
 
12.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
  SCI leases space to related parties on market terms that management believes
are no less favorable to SCI than those that could be obtained with
unaffiliated third parties. These transactions are summarized as follows:

13. 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,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by SCI using available market information
and valuation methodologies.
 
  As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997 and 1996, the fair values of the long-term debt and
mortgages have 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, 1997 and 1996, from the interest rates in effect at the dates of
issuance. The long-term debt and many of the mortgages contain pre-payment
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, 1997 and 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. The following table reflects the
carrying amount and estimated fair value of SCI's financial instruments at
December 31 (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 risk associated with interest and foreign currency rate fluctuations
on existing obligations or anticipated transactions.
 
  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 or foreign currency rates). SCI utilizes derivative
instruments in anticipation of future transactions to manage well-defined
risk. Through hedging, SCI can effectively manage the risk of increases in
interest rates and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
 
 
                                      156
<PAGE>
 
                       SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  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,
1997, 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.

currency contracts for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in

(1) Deferred losses totalling $1.9 million on matured, expired or terminated
    contracts were recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31, 1996.
    These losses relate to the unwind of hedges placed for the May 1996 debt
    offering (Note 5) and are being amortized into interest expense over a
    weighted average amortization period of 10.8 years.
(2)  Deferred gains totaling $1.9 million on matured, expired or terminated
     contracts were recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31, 1997.
     These gains relate to the unwind of hedges placed for the February and
     July 1997 debt offerings (Note 5) and are being amortized into income
     over 18 years and 20 years, respectively.
 
(3) In anticipation of debt offerings in 1998, on October 28, 1997, SCI
    entered into two interest rate protection agreements. A forward treasury
    lock agreement was executed with a notional amount of $75.0 million on the
    6 3/8% Treasury bond due August 2027 and a swap agreement was entered into
    with a notional amount of $75.0 million on the 6 5/8% Treasury bond due
    February 2027. The forward treasury lock has a termination date of March
    31, 1998 and effectively locks in the 30-year treasury rate used to price
    SCI's debt, at 6.316%. The swap agreement has a termination date of May
    31, 1998, and carries a fixed rate of 6.721% which is a combination of the
    treasury rate plus the swap spread and the forward premium.

(4) On December 22, 1997, SCI entered into a foreign exchange forward contract
    to fix the purchase price of the Frigoscandia AB acquisition, denominated
    in Swedish krona, and the cost of financing a portion of the transaction
    denominated in German marks (Note 15). Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards No. 52 requires these foreign currency contracts to be marked to
    market at the financial statement date and the gain or loss, if any,
    reflected in the consolidated results of operations. A net foreign
    exchange loss of $6.0 million was recognized for the year ended December
    31, 1997 relating to foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December
    31, 1997.
 
14. 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.
 
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
  On January 16, 1998, Frigoscandia SA, a new preferred stock subsidiary of
SCI based in Luxembourg, acquired Frigoscandia AB, Europe's largest
refrigerated warehousing company for $395.0 million. The acquisition of
Frigoscandia AB was financed primarily with a $200.0 million bridge loan due
March 31, 1998 from NationsBank and $190.0 million of borrowings on SCI's
$350.0 million line of credit. The bridge loan bears interest at an annual
rate equal to the lesser of (a) the greater of the sum of the Federal Funds
Rate plus one-half percent, and (b) the prime rate or the Eurodollar Rate plus
0.95%.
 
  On January 15, 1998, SCI settled its foreign currency forward contract to
purchase 2.9 billion Swedish krona at 7.7583 per U.S. dollar (Note 13). The
krona traded at 8.015 on January 15, 1998, resulting in a total loss of $12.0
million. Of this amount, $7.9 million was reflected in the consolidated
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
  On March 5, 1998, SCI announced it increased its annual dividend per Common
Share to $1.24 per share from $1.14 per share, resulting in distributions of
$0.3183 per Common Share to be paid in the last three quarters of 1998.
 
  On March 12, 1998, Merrill Lynch & Co. agreed to buy 3,750,000 SCI Common
Shares at $24.045 per share pursuant to an underwriting agreement. In
connection with the offering, SCI granted Merrill Lynch & Co. a 30-day option
to acquire an additional 562,500 Common Shares at $24.045 per share. The
offering is expected to close on March 18, 1998.

                               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, 1997. 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, 1997 and of the results of
its operations and changes in its net assets for the year then ended.
 
  Supplementary information included in the annual financial report has been
reviewed in the context of our mandate but has not been subject to specific
audit procedures carried out in accordance with the standards described above.
Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. We have no
observation to make concerning such information in the context of the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

                         SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
 
                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              AT 31 DECEMBER 1997
 
 
NOTE 1--ORGANISATION
 
  The Company (Amsterdam Stock Exchange ISIN Code : LU0060100673, Bloomberg
Symbol : SCUS NA, Reuters Symbol : CAPAu.AS) was incorporated on 7 July 1995
and is a research-driven, growth-orientated real estate operating company
focused on taking significant ownership positions in value-added real estate
operating companies based in the United States, and guiding those companies to
maximise their strategy, operations and performance. The Company is a
Luxembourg real estate corporation organised as a "Societe d'Investissement a
Capital Fixe" (a company with a fixed capital).
 
  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 SC-
USREALTY are to the consolidated entity consisting of Security Capital U.S.
Realty and Security Capital Holdings S.A., unless noted otherwise.
 
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
 
  SC-USREALTY accounts for its investments, except for the investments in
Security Capital Group as described below, 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 SC-USREALTY's
financial position and results of operations as a real estate business. Thus,
SC-USREALTY's investments in publicly traded companies are valued at market
determined by using closing market prices on the NYSE 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 SC-
USREALTY values its investment at the price at which that capital was raised
when a substantial percentage of the new subscriptions have been funded.
 
  The investments in Security Capital Group are accounted for at cost due to
current sale restrictions which will cease to apply during the first quarter
of 1998.
 
  Under market/fair value accounting, unrealised gains or losses are
determined by comparing the 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 SC-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 SC-USREALTY's operating
methods and plans, SC-USREALTY's investment gains generally are not subject to
income taxes.
 
  At 31 December 1997, 24.6% of SC-USREALTY's investments were in 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 securities
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.

                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       AT 31 DECEMBER 1997--(CONTINUED)
 
 B. Accounting for Investments and Income
 
  All purchases and sales of publicly traded securities are recorded as of the
day after the trade date (being the date that SC-USREALTY's broker actually
executes an order to buy or sell). Purchases and sales of unlisted securities
and the funding of strategic investees under stock purchase agreements are
recorded as of the date the actual purchase or sale is made. 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
$17.3 million during the twelve month ended 31 December 1997. The withholding
tax is stated net of estimated refunds of $174,781 (1996:$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) is
recorded on the accrual basis. Interest received is also stated net of
withholding taxes, of which there were none in 1997. Realised gains and losses
on sales of shares are determined on the average cost method.
 
 C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  SC-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
 
  SC-USREALTY will aim to have 75% to 90% of its assets deployed in Strategic
Ownership Positions and 10% to 25% invested in Special Opportunity Positions.
 
 A. Strategic Ownership Positions
 
  Strategic Ownership Positions 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 SC-USREALTY sponsors, it expects to own substantially more than 50% of
the voting shares until such companies become publicly traded, at which time
SC-USREALTY expects its ownership will begin to be diluted until it reaches
35% to 45% fully diluted ownership levels. SC-USREALTY will be the largest
shareholder of its strategic investees, have representation on their Boards of
Directors, and influence their operations and strategies through ongoing
consultation and research. 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 Positions
 
  Special Opportunity Positions consist of ownership positions of less than
10% of the fully diluted stock in publicly traded U.S. Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("REITs") and other publicly traded U.S. real estate companies. The
investments have and will take the form of either direct investments in, or
public market purchases of, shares of companies that SC-USREALTY believes
possess the requisite fundamentals to generate strong cash flow growth and/or
value appreciation. In exceptional circumstances, and to a very limited
extent, SC-USREALTY may make special opportunity investments in companies
which are not publicly traded. Typically such an investment would be in a
company which does not at the time of investment fulfill the criteria for a
strategic ownership position, but in which SC-USREALTY may take a strategic
ownership position in the future. SC-USREALTY will provide the 31 December
1997 list of its investments to shareholders, free of charge upon request,
from the registered office of the company.
 
  At 31 December 1997, SC-USREALTY had deployed a total of $165 million in
securities of Security Capital Group. This amount is made up of an initial
investment of $110 million (representing 52,430.9 of Class A common shares and
$55 million principal amount of 6.5% convertible subordinated debentures due
2016) and an additional $55 million (1,964,286 Class B common shares) invested
during Security Capital Group's Initial Public Offering in September 1997.

(1) "Other' accounts payable includes an amount of $312,000 of operating
    expenses (1996:$217,000) paid by Security Capital Group on behalf of SC-
    USREALTY. The amount has been fully reimbursed to Security Capital Group
    in February 1998.
 
NOTE 6--ADVISORY AGREEMENT
 
  SC-USREALTY has an advisory agreement with Security Capital (EU) Management
S.A. (the "Operating Advisor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital
Group. This agreement requires the Operating Advisor to provide SC-USREALTY
with advice with respect to strategy, investments, financing and certain other
administrative matters affecting SC-USREALTY. The Operating Advisor has agreed
to identify tangible capital deployment opportunities in U.S. real estate
companies and evaluate such companies' competitive positions, management
expertise, strategic direction, financial strength and prospects for long-term
sustainable per share cash flow growth. The Operating Advisor also advises SC-
USREALTY on obtaining board and committee representation and management
rights. The agreement automatically renews for successive two year periods
unless either party gives notice it 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 Group subsidiary, Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated
(based in Chicago). The Operating Advisor is entitled to an advisory fee,
payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average
monthly market/fair value of invested assets excluding investments in Security
Capital Group securities and investments of short-term cash and cash
equivalents. The amounts accrued at 31 December 1997 represent three months'
fees. SC-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% per annum of average monthly
market/fair value of invested assets, excluding investments in Security
Capital Group securities and investments of short term cash and cash
equivalents. Such third party operating and administrative costs were 0.13% of
average monthly market/fair value of assets for the twelve months ended 31
December 1997.

                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       AT 31 DECEMBER 1997--(CONTINUED)
 
  SC-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
SC-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 generally in effect for dividends received in 1996 and 1997.
 
  Under the current and the proposed new United States-Luxembourg tax treaties
the Company believes that HOLDINGS (or other subsidiaries of the Company)
qualifies for a 15% rate of withholding tax on dividends of operating income
from most (if not all) of the REIT investments currently held by HOLDINGS and
for future REIT investments. There can be no assurance that these rates will
be achieved as to all such investments. These benefits are also dependent on
HOLDINGS meeting the "limitations on benefits" test under Article 24 of the
proposed new treaty. The tests prescribed by Article 24, particularly in terms
of stock ownership requirements, base erosion and publicly traded criterias
are inherently factual in nature. Such tests will only need to be applied to
HOLDINGS (or other subsidiaries of the Company) at a future, and presently
indeterminate, point in time and will be dependent on the particular facts at
such time. However, management will use its best efforts to ensure HOLDINGS
(or other subsidiaries of the Company) meets the conditions for claiming the
reduced treaty withholding rate at the relevant time and the Company currently
believes that such conditions will be met.
 
  HOLDINGS, an ordinary corporate taxpayer under Luxembourg law, owns all of
the consolidated group's interests in U.S. REITs and other U.S. real estate
companies. 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 operates so as to have the
highest possible percentage of its investments qualify for the exclusion.
Interest accrued on advances from the Company to HOLDINGS is 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 $15,263,653 during the twelve months ended 31 December
1997, are subject to withholding tax at a rate of 3.75% (which totalled
$572,387 for the twelve months to 31 December 1997). No dividends were paid.

                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       AT 31 DECEMBER 1997--(CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 8--LINE OF CREDIT
 
  SC-USREALTY's total indebtedness as of 31 December 1997 and 31 December 1996
was $130.0 million and $169.5 million, respectively, and its total equity
market capitalisation stood at $2.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively
(the market share price was $14.20 and $12.80, respectively).
 
  In March 1998, SC-USREALTY increased its revolving line of credit from
Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft and a consortium of European and international
banks from $500 million to $700 million, of which $130.0 million was drawn and
outstanding as of 31 December 1997. The earliest date on which this line of
credit will expire is March 2000, but SC-USREALTY 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 March 2002. Borrowings bear
interest at the greater of the United States prime rate or the federal funds
rate plus 0.5% or, at SC-USREALTY's option, LIBOR plus 0.875% to 1.125% per
annum based on the percentage of all advances outstanding to the market value
of qualifying collateral. Additionally, there is a facility fee of 0.25% per
annum. All borrowings are subject to covenants that SC-USREALTY maintain at
all times (i) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2:1, (ii) a debt to
net worth ratio of no greater than 1:1, (iii) a debt service coverage ratio of
not less than 1.4:1 and (iv) a net worth of at least $750 million. As at 31
December 1997, SC-USREALTY was in compliance with all covenants and continues
to be in compliance with them. The line of credit is secured by substantially
all the assets of SC-USREALTY and a guarantee from the Company.
 
  Average daily borrowings for the year ended 31 December 1997 were $136.2
million, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.27% per annum.
 
NOTE 9--LEGAL RESERVE
 
  According to Luxembourg law, an annual transfer of 5% of the net profit to a
legal reserve is required until this reserve equals 10% of the value of the
issued share capital. The directors transferred $27,304,439 from the share
premium reserve to the legal reserve when the Company converted from a SICAV
to a SICAF in June 1997. A transfer of $3,070,846 (based on the net profits
for the six months from 1 July 1997 to 31 December 1997) will be made in 1998
upon the shareholders' approval of the 1997 financial statements.

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
(which are substantially consistent with US generally accepted auditing
standards). 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.
 
Supplementary information included in this annual financial report has been
reviewed in the context of our mandate but has not been subject to specific
audit procedures carried out in accordance with the standards described above.
Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. We have no
observation to make concerning such information in the context of the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

                         SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
 
                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"), an investment company with variable capital. 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, an investment company
with fixed capital, 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

<PAGE>
 
                         SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
 
          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 expensed formation costs of $1,654,000 in 1996, which should have
been amortized over the useful life of 5 years under US GAAP. Additionally,
the Company expensed line of credit fees of $3.7 million in 1996 related to
costs incurred in connection with arranging USREALTY's $300 million line of
credit while US GAAP would require such costs to be amortized over the term of
the line of credit of 3 years. These departures from US GAAP in these
financial statements are not considered material given that the total effect
is approximately 1% of "Increase in net assets resulting from operations".
 
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.

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.

                               AUDITOR'S REPORT
 
To the Shareholders of
SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
Luxembourg
 
We have audited the financial statements, which consist of the statement of
net assets, the statement of operations, the statement of changes in net
assets and the schedule of investments and the notes to the financial
statements of Security Capital U.S. Realty ("USREALTY") for the period ended
December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Board of Directors of USREALTY. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(which are substantially consistent with US 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 the Board of Directors of USREALTY in preparing the
financial statements, 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 attached 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
USREALTY at December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and changes in
its net assets for the period then ended.
 
Supplementary information included in the annual report has been reviewed in
the context of our mandate but has not been subject to specific audit
procedures carried out in accordance with the standards described above.
Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. We have no
observation to make concerning such information in the context of the
financial statements taken as a whole.

                         SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
 
            NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION
 
Security Capital U.S. Realty ("USREALTY") is a Luxembourg real estate
corporation organized as a "Societed'investissement a Capital Variable"
(SICAV). USREALTY was formed on July 7, 1995 for the purpose of owning United
States of America real estate primarily through companies in which it has a
strategic ownership position. USREALTY owns its assets through its wholly-
owned Luxembourg subsidiary, Security Capital Holdings S.A. ("HOLDINGS"). All
accounts of HOLDINGS have been consolidated with US REALTY and all significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. References
herein to USREALTY are to the consolidated entity unless noted otherwise.
 
As of December 31, 1995, $509.50 million of equity capital subscriptions were
received, of which $62.95 million have been called and funded, with the
balance of $446.55 million available for future investments. The Board of
Directors may call these subscriptions at its discretion.
 
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A. Fair Value Basis of Presentation:
USREALTY accounts for its investments at fair value as management believes
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 as 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.
 
Under fair value accounting, unrealized gains (or losses) are determined by
comparing fair value of the securities held to the cost of such securities.
Unrealized gains or losses relating to changes in 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 realized. Under current tax laws,
USREALTY investment gains generally are not subject to income taxes.
 
USREALTY's investments are generally long-term and it does not intend to sell
securities simply to realize gain thereon (other than in the case of special
opportunity investments).
 
At December 31, 1995, 96.75% of USREALTY's investments were private 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 realizable 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. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of
shares are determined on the identified cost method.
 
C. Organization Costs:
Costs totalling $1,801,533 associated with the formation of USREALTY and its
initial private placement have been deferred and are being amortized over five
years. These costs exceeded the $1.2 million estimated in USREALTY's private
offering due to an extended offering period and greater than anticipated
documentation costs for consummating the private offering.

                         SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
 
        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 3--TAXATION
 
USREALTY, as separate from HOLDINGS, is not liable for any Luxembourg tax on
income. USREALTY is liable in Luxembourg for a tax of 0.06% per annum of its
net asset value. Cash dividends and interest received by USREALTY or HOLDINGS
on their investments may be subject to non-recoverable withholding or other
taxes in the countries of origin which are reflected as withholding taxes in
the statement of operations.
 
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 REIT investments which meet certain holding period (generally one
calendar year) and size requirements. Substantially all of HOLDINGS's
investments should qualify for the exclusion. Interest accrued on advances
from USREALTY to HOLDINGS are deducted in determining HOLDINGS's taxable
income.
 
Income paid from HOLDINGS to USREALTY is subject to various levels of tax.
Cash (but not accrued) interest payments from HOLDINGS to USREALTY, which were
$178,131, are subject to withholding tax at a rate of 3.75% and totalled
$6,680 for 1995. No dividends were paid.
 
NOTE 4--INVESTMENTS
 
USREALTY plans to deploy 60-85% of its assets into long-term strategic
ownership positions and 10-25% into intermediate-term special opportunity
ownership positions and 0-10% into Security Capital Group securities.
 
The 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, 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 characterized
by the potential for a superior market niche and the ultimate potential for
market preeminence with a focused strategy and product.
 
Special opportunity (less than 10% of the fully diluted stock) positions in US
public REITs and real estate companies have and will take the form of either
direct investments in, or public market purchases of, companies that possess
the requisite fundamentals to generate strong cash flow growth and/or value
appreciation.
 
Pacific Retail Trust ("PRT"), a privately-held REIT considered a strategic
investment, focuses in its target market on the development, acquisition,
operation and long-term ownership of income-producing retail properties. PRT
focuses, in the western United States, specifically on neighborhood shopping
centers with protected infill locations which are anchored by grocery and drug
stores. PRT will remarket and remerchandise its centers to energize the shop
space and grow cash flow. On October 19, 1995, USREALTY invested $53,000,000
at $10.00 per share in PRT. At December 31, 1995, USREALTY owned 81.2% of
PRT's outstanding voting shares. USREALTY has committed to invest an
additional $147 million in PRT at a price of $10 per share. A majority of
PRT's directors are USREALTY nominees.
 
On November 5, 1995, USREALTY and HOLDINGS signed an agreement to invest $250
million into common stock of Carr Realty Corporation ("Carr") at $21.50 per
share. (Carr stock closed at $24.25 per share on the New York Stock Exchange
on January 31, 1996.) This Company is the largest owner and operator of office
space in the Washington, D.C. market. It changed its name to CarrAmerica
Realty Corporation ("CarrAmerica") and is implementing a national strategy
focused on value-driven suburban office properties which will permit
CarrAmerica to provide the highest level of service to national, regional and
local users of corporate office space in the growth markets of the U.S.
USREALTY and HOLDINGS will make an initial investment of $140 million in April
1996. Coincident with its initial investment, USREALTY will appoint two
nominees to CarrAmerica's board, with the right to appoint an additional two
when the full $250 million is invested.

                         SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
 
        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)
USREALTY intends to invest up to a maximum of 10% of its total assets in
securities of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital") which,
through wholly-owned subsidiaries, has subscribed for 39% of USREALTY's total
subscribed shares and is the sole shareholder of USREALTY's Advisor.
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 arms-length basis. When and if
Security Capital becomes traded on a recognized securities market. USREALTY
may purchase Security Capital securities from third parties in open-market
transactions. USREALTY's valuation of its investment in Security Capital will
take into account the cross ownership holdings between the companies.
 
NOTE 5--ADVISORY AGREEMENT
 
USREALTY has an advisory agreement with Security Capital (EU) Management S.A.
("Advisor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital. The agreement
requires the Advisor to provide USREALTY with advice with respect to the
investment of assets of USREALTY. The Advisor will identify tangible
investment opportunities in US 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 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 Advisor subcontracts for certain services through its wholly-owned
affiliate, Security Capital (UK) Management Limited, and another Security
Capital subsidiary, Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated. The
Advisor is entitled to a management fee, payable monthly, 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.
 
NOTE 6--OPERATING EXPENSES
 
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.
 
Operating expenses, as defined in the prospectus, will be payable by USREALTY
to the extent that they fall below 0.25% per annum of the average daily value
of long-term investments of USREALTY. Any amounts exceeding 0.25% will be
borne by the Advisor.

        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 7--LINE OF CREDIT
 
USREALTY's wholly-owned subsidiary, HOLDINGS, received preliminary commitment
for a $150 million line of credit from Commerzbank International S.A.
Commerzbank proposes to syndicate the loan to an international bank group with
a view towards increasing the line of credit to $200 million.
 
The line of credit will bear interest at the annual rate of Libor plus 1.75%
or, at USREALTY's option, at the prime lending rate for major U.S. banks. The
line of credit will be secured by all assets owned by HOLDINGS, which
represents substantially all of USREALTY's assets. USREALTY will guarantee the
loan and secure its guarantee by pledging its stock in HOLDINGS.
 
In order to fund its initial investment in Pacific Retail Trust prior to
receiving subscription funds, and thereby comply with certain technical
requirements for an exemption from certain U.S. pension fund rules, USREALTY
borrowed $53 million from a subsidiary of Security Capital, which was repaid
upon receipt by USREALTY of its initial subscription amounts. USREALTY paid
interest on this loan (aggregating $162,628) at the prime rate for major U.S.
banks, which was the rate at which Security Capital borrowed the funds which
it loaned to USREALTY.
 
NOTE 8--CHANGES IN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
 
A detailed schedule of portfolio changes is available free of charge upon
