ITEM 1. BUSINESS

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST

Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI") is the largest publicly held,
U.S.-based global owner and operator of distribution properties based on
equity market capitalization. SCI is an international operating company
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 distinguishes itself from its
competition by being the only entity that combines all of the following:

1. An international operating strategy dedicated to providing services to
the 1,000 largest users of distribution facilities worldwide;

2. An organizational structure and service delivery system built around
the customer--SCI believes its service approach is unique to the real
estate industry as it combines international scope and expertise with
strong local presence;

3. A disciplined investment strategy based on proprietary research that
identifies high growth markets with sustainable demand for SCI's
distribution facilities;

4. Over 275 professionals in 37 offices in the United States, Mexico and
Europe which SCI believes comprise the deepest and most experienced
management team in industrial real estate; and

5. Over 2,500 customers globally.

The cornerstone of SCI's operating strategy is the SCI International
Operating System(TM) comprised of the Market Services Group, the Global
Services Group and the Global Development Group that utilizes SCI's
international network of corporate distribution facilities to meet customer
expansion and reconfiguration needs globally.

SCI engages in the acquisition, development, marketing, operation and long-
term ownership of distribution facilities. SCI has the resources to provide a
full array of financial, development and operating services, including: (i)
expertise in market research, (ii) building and land acquisition and due
diligence, (iii) master-planned distribution park design and building
construction, (iv) marketing, asset and leasing management and (v) capital
markets and financial operations.

SCI deploys capital in markets with excellent long-term growth prospects and
in markets where SCI can achieve a strong market position through the
acquisition and development of flexible facilities for warehousing,
distribution and light manufacturing uses. SCI expanded its operations into
Mexico and Europe in the first half of 1997 to meet the needs of its targeted
national and international customers as they expand and reconfigure their
distribution facility requirements globally. With six target market cities
identified in Mexico and 20 identified in Europe, SCI believes that there are
significant growth opportunities internationally. SCI is building its
organization in both Mexico and Europe as part of the SCI International
Operating System(TM).

SCI's highlights include:

. As of January 31, 1998, SCI was servicing over 2,500 customers in the
United States, Mexico and Europe, including 336 global customers of which
209 were multiple market customers, and refrigerated warehousing in which
SCI has invested had over 975 customers in the United States and 4,750
customers in eight countries in Europe.

. As of January 31, 1998, SCI's distribution portfolio contained 92.5
million square feet in 1,019 buildings and had an additional 9.3 million
square feet under development in 63 buildings for a total of 101.8

1


million square feet in 1,082 buildings. The total aggregate cost of the
101.8 million square feet (including properties under development at total
budgeted cost) is $3.172 billion (an average of $31.16 per square foot).

. As of January 31, 1998, SCI's stabilized portfolio of 86.6 million square
feet was 96.35% leased (95.01% occupied), and the total operating
portfolio of 92.5 million square feet, which includes 5.9 million
pre-stabilized square feet, was 93.60% leased (91.48% occupied).

. During 1997, a total of 28.1 million square feet of distribution space
was leased in 1,017 transactions through the operation of the SCI
International Operating System(TM). During 1997, rental rates on new and
renewed leases on previously leased distribution space for the operating
portfolio increased an average of 19.2%.

. In 1997, SCI acquired 6.35 million square feet of distribution space in
the United States and internationally for a total expected investment of
$207.84 million in 28 transactions, for an average cost of $32.73 per
square foot. In addition, during 1997, SCI invested $85.6 million in
U.S.-based refrigerated warehousing totaling 78.6 million cubic feet
either operating or under development, and in January 1998, invested in
European refrigerated warehousing totaling 180 million cubic feet with a
net cost of $395.0 million.

. During 1997, SCI commenced development of 9.7 million square feet of
distribution space in 31 target market cities in the United States,
Mexico and Europe with a total expected investment of $370.3 million.
Inventory building starts totaled 6.3 million square feet in 1997 and
corporate distribution facility starts totaled 3.4 million square feet
during 1997. In addition, as of January 31, 1998, SCI was in active
negotiations for 6.3 million square feet of additional corporate
distribution facility projects on a global basis. Since inception, SCI
has completed developments totaling 26.0 million square feet (excluding
dispositions of 1.6 million square feet), which were 86.93% leased and
89.50% leased or committed as of January 31, 1998.

. As of January 31, 1998, SCI owned 1,634 acres of development land, and
had fixed price options and rights of first refusal to acquire 505 acres
and 36 acres, respectively, which in the aggregate will permit the
development of approximately 37.2 million square feet of additional
distribution space in 32 target market cities. Also, as of January 31,
1998, SCI had an additional 656 acres under letters of intent or
contingent contracts, subject to the completion of due diligence, which,
if acquired, will permit the development of approximately 12.0 million
square feet of additional distribution space. Of the total acres owned or
controlled through options, rights of first refusal, letters of intent or
contingent contracts at January 31, 1998, 2,567 acres were in the United
States, 231 acres were in Mexico, and 33 acres were in Europe.

. During the third quarter of 1997, SCI became an internally managed REIT
when it acquired the operations of Security Capital Industrial
Incorporated (the "REIT Manager") and SCI Client Services Incorporated
(the "Property Manager") owned by Security Capital Group Incorporated
("Security Capital") in exchange for 3,692,023 Common Shares of
Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares") (the
"Merger"). See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Overview--Consummation of Merger
Transaction."

. Security Capital, SCI's largest shareholder, which owned approximately
42.5% of SCI's Common Shares as of March 12, 1998, has provided common
equity investment capital to SCI at the same times and on the same terms
made available to public investors and other shareholders. On a fully
diluted basis, Security Capital owned 36.8% of SCI's Common Shares as of
March 12, 1998.

. SCI's long-term debt as a percentage of long-term book capitalization
(including accumulated depreciation) was 28.0% at December 31, 1997. At
March 12, 1998, SCI had $275.0 million of borrowings outstanding under
its $350 million unsecured line of credit facility and had $200.0 million
due to NationsBank of Texas, N.A. ("NationsBank") on an unsecured bridge
loan due March 31, 1998.

SCI GROWTH AND OPERATING STRATEGY

Based on extensive research, SCI was formed in June 1991 to take advantage
of two strategic opportunities: first, the opportunity to build a distribution
and light manufacturing asset base at prices significantly below replacement
cost and a land inventory at attractive prices; and second, to create, for the
first time, a national operating company which would differentiate itself from
its competition through its ability to address and service a corporate
customer's distribution facility requirements on a national, regional and
local basis. SCI expanded its operations into Mexico and Europe in the first
half of 1997 to meet the needs of its targeted national and international
customers as they expand and reconfigure their distribution facility
requirements globally. With six target market cities identified in Mexico and
20 identified in Europe, SCI believes that there are significant growth
opportunities internationally. SCI is building its organization in both Mexico
and Europe as part of the SCI International Operating System(TM). Consistent
with SCI's objective of expanding the services platform for its targeted
customer base, in 1997 the SCI International Operating System(TM) expanded to
serve the refrigerated warehousing needs of its customers where it is
efficiently establishing an international refrigerated warehousing network,
positioning SCI to become the global leader in this rapidly consolidating
industry. SCI's objective is to achieve long-term sustainable growth in cash
flow through (i) focusing its investments in markets with excellent long-term
growth prospects and markets where SCI can achieve a strong market position
through the acquisition and development of flexible facilities designed for
warehousing, distribution and light manufacturing uses; (ii) the SCI
International Operating System(TM) comprised of the Market Services Group, the
Global Services Group and the Global Development Group as described below; and
(iii) ownership or control of a significant inventory of land to enable SCI to
take advantage of market opportunities and accommodate expansion or corporate
distribution facility requirements of customers through development of new
facilities.

SCI's operating strategy is to achieve significant market presence in each
target market city and selected submarkets of those cities through
acquisitions and master-planned distribution park development. SCI defines
market presence not only in terms of square feet of buildings and acres of
development land owned, but also by the extent of SCI's relationships with
customers having current and expected future distribution space needs in such
markets. SCI's growth and operating strategy is designed not only to meet the
needs of today's distribution space users, which means providing functional,
cost-effective facilities and a comprehensive level of service, but also to
shape the future trends of the industry through innovation, service and
product leadership consistent with SCI's long-term investment horizon.

SCI INTERNATIONAL OPERATING SYSTEM(TM)

The SCI International Operating System(TM) is designed to provide
substantial benefits to existing and prospective SCI customers, including:

Relocation Capability. User requirements can change frequently. SCI's
presence in 37 U.S. target markets and seven of its 26 targeted international
markets for distribution space permits SCI to accommodate the needs of its
customers by moving an existing customer within a market or between markets
both nationally and globally.

Expansion Capability. SCI, through its development program, land inventory
and existing facilities, works with existing and prospective customers who
have expansion requirements to meet their growing business needs. Expansion
may result in relocating a customer to larger SCI spaces in a given market or
in developing a corporate distribution facility for such customer.

Centrally Coordinated Program. SCI provides a single point of contact for
multi-location global users of distribution facilities through Global Services
Group professionals who are charged with building long-term customer
relationships and ensuring that all SCI services and products are consistent
in quality. SCI's experience

3


to date suggests that many major corporate customers prefer working with one
firm to meet their distribution facility requirements.

Corporate Distribution Facilities Services. SCI's team of development
professionals are focused on building facilities that meet SCI customers'
needs and that incorporate the latest technology with respect to building
design and building systems. SCI has developed consistent standards and
procedures that it strictly adheres to in the development of all of its
facilities throughout the United States and internationally.

The SCI International Operating System(TM) provides an exceptional level of
customer service including development on an international, national, regional
and local basis through its 210 professionals, and is a key component of SCI's
growth and operating strategy. The SCI International Operating System(TM) is
comprised of the three groups described below: the Market Services Group, the
Global Services Group and the Global Development Group.

Market Services Group. This group is comprised of 25 market officers
("Market Officers"), a managing director in Europe, four regional directors
and 120 property management and leasing professionals. Market Officers have
extensive experience (with an average of over 14 years) in marketing
distribution space and are responsible for understanding the needs of existing
and prospective customers in their respective markets. To meet such needs,
Market Officers utilize their extensive knowledge of local market conditions,
including the cost and availability of alternative space, and are supported by
their team of property management and leasing professionals. Additionally,
Market Officers have access to information regarding existing SCI customers
who are expanding or relocating to various markets. A key role of the Market
Officers is assisting the Global Services Group in identifying SCI customers
with international or national, multi-market requirements. SCI believes that
the Market Officers' access to national and international SCI resources
provides significant stature and profile and improves their ability to serve
customers in the local market.

On a regular basis, each Market Officer communicates with senior management
for guidance on lease terms, as well as for international, national and local
marketing assistance, and is able to take advantage of SCI's fully integrated
international development and service capabilities. Market Officers do not
develop projects or borrow or commit capital; they focus strictly on creating
and maintaining relationships with distribution space users and industrial
brokers, marketing SCI's products and identifying potential corporate
distribution facilities services, acquisition and leasing opportunities in
their target market cities.

Global Services Group. The Global Services Group, comprised of 10
professionals, is dedicated to providing service to the largest 1,000 users of
distribution space and is focused on making SCI the preferred provider of
distribution space to these companies. The Global Services Group is
headquartered in Denver and Amsterdam and has regional offices in Atlanta,
Chicago, Houston, the Los Angeles metropolitan area and the New York City
metropolitan area. A key function of this group is identifying companies whose
reconfiguration and expansion of their distribution networks will create
multi-market and/or corporate distribution facilities services opportunities
and coordinating SCI services to those companies with the respective Market
Officers and the Global Development Group. Global Services Group professionals
build long-term relationships with SCI international and national customers
and provide a single point of contact to simplify and streamline the execution
of such customers' international and national distribution space plans. An
ancillary benefit is research insight into international and national
distribution and logistics trends gained through continuous interaction with
Global Services Group clients.

Global Development Group. The Global Development Group, comprised of 50
professionals, focuses substantial research and development efforts on
creating industry-leading master-planned distribution parks and buildings. Its
members have extensive experience in development and construction of these
facilities.

The Global Development Group is comprised principally of architects,
engineers and construction professionals who oversee every aspect of the land
planning and building design processes. This group also monitors the
construction process and oversees the performance of third-party general
contractors. The group's

4


corporate distribution facility specialists and project managers (with an
average experience level of over 16 years) operate regionally to better serve
their markets. The project managers supervise each project with continual
oversight from SCI headquarters, pursuant to uniform standards, procedures and
specifications which have been carefully designed to achieve consistent
quality.

SCI believes the depth and breadth of the Global Development Group enhance
the effectiveness of the Global Services Group and give the Market Officers a
distinct competitive advantage for development and corporate distribution
facilities services opportunities in their respective markets.

The SCI International Operating System(TM) with its customer focus and
service level, single point of contact and distribution solutions on a global
basis, offers significant potential in building relationships, as well as
additional business, with its global customers in a rapidly consolidating
industry.

FOCUS ON RESEARCH-BASED GROWTH-ORIENTED MARKETS AND CUSTOMER DRIVEN EXPANSION

Based on its proprietary research, SCI focuses on selected distribution
markets in the United States, Mexico and Europe where supply and demand
factors permit high occupancies at increasing rental rates. Management
believes the research indicates that demand for distribution and light
manufacturing space in SCI's target markets should be stable to strong in the
near to medium term which should have a positive effect on leasing rates and
cash flow growth. SCI believes that the primary factors influencing future
supply and demand for distribution real estate in SCI's target market cities
will be continued job and population growth, related regional and local
company growth, reconfiguration of distribution networks, and quality and cost
of labor. In addition, SCI believes that the short construction cycles
targeted for SCI's distribution facilities, fragmented ownership and
undercapitalization of local developers also contribute to the attractive
supply and demand fundamentals in SCI's target markets.

SCI focuses on three types of distribution investment markets: export/import
growth markets, low cost manufacturing markets and growth distribution
markets. As a result of customer demand, SCI expanded its operations into
Mexico and Europe in the first half of 1997 to meet the needs of its targeted
national and international customers as they expand and reconfigure their
distribution facility requirements globally. SCI believes that the investment
opportunities in Mexico and Europe provide significant growth opportunities
for SCI as it expands its service platform.

Additionally, during 1997, SCI expanded into refrigerated warehousing
through an unconsolidated subsidiary's investment in CS Integrated LLC
("CSI"). As of December 31, 1997, SCI's unconsolidated subsidiary owned 77% of
CSI which operated or had under development 78.6 million cubic feet of
refrigerated warehousing facilities in the United States, and SCI's investment
in and advances to its unconsolidated subsidiary totaled $85.6 million. In
January 1998, an unconsolidated subsidiary of SCI acquired Frigoscandia AB
("Frigoscandia"), for a net cost of $395 million. SCI believes that
Frigoscandia is Europe's largest owner of refrigerated warehousing facilities
with 90 facilities in eight European countries totalling over 180 million
cubic feet and over 4,750 customers. SCI believes that the capital-intensive
nature of refrigerated warehousing creates significant barriers to entry,
limiting new competitors. As a result of SCI's ongoing research into key
logistics trends, SCI believes that refrigerated warehousing represents an
important investment opportunity which should create significant shareholder
value. See "Item 2. Properties--Unconsolidated Subsidiaries."

Export/Import Growth Markets. The dollar volume of U.S. exports increased
from $250.2 billion in 1987 to $678.3 billion in 1997, an increase of 171.1%,
as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, Foreign Trade Division. The dollar
volume of U.S. imports increased from $477.4 billion in 1989 to $877.3 billion
for 1997, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, Foreign Trade Division.

SCI intends to capitalize on this trend by targeting key ports (air, sea and
land) which are well positioned to benefit from continued combined growth in
trade with the Pacific Rim, Mexico and Europe. The total dollar

5


volume of exports from the United States to these three international trade
areas grew by approximately $142.2 billion between December 31, 1987 and
December 31, 1997, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, Foreign Trade
Division. In line with SCI's strategy to target key ports, SCI entered both
the Rotterdam and Amsterdam markets during 1997. Rotterdam is the largest port
in the world and, in addition to its ability to accommodate all sizes of
ocean-going vessels, its success is linked to its comprehensive infrastructure
that facilitates distribution throughout Europe by air, rail, truck and
waterways. Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam is the thirteenth largest airport in
the world based on passenger and cargo volume. SCI believes that the growth in
exports and imports represents favorable growth prospects for related
distribution space.

Low Cost Manufacturing Markets. SCI has targeted markets that possess long-
term cost and quality of labor advantages for domestic and foreign
manufacturers. One important influence on SCI's target market cities in Mexico
and on those with close proximity to Mexico is the impact of the maquiladora
(U.S./Mexico twin plant) program, which encourages companies to manufacture
and assemble products close to the Mexican border. After paying a nominal
value added tax, companies participating in this program ship finished
products into the United States or to foreign countries for distribution or
further processing. Export and import trade between the United States and
Mexico exceeded $71.3 billion for the twelve month period ended December 31,
1997, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, and should continue to be
positively affected by the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mexico ranked
as the second largest trading partner with the United States for the twelve-
month period ended December 31, 1997. SCI believes that the prospects for low
cost manufacturing growth in these target markets are excellent.

Growth Distribution Markets. The distribution markets that SCI targets must
have access to transportation networks, including interstate highways, rail
service, air cargo, intermodal facilities and/or port terminals. They must
also offer cost advantages in terms of transportation rates, rental costs and
state income and inventory taxes. Finally, there must be strong overnight
truck delivery area demographics within a 500-mile radius. Examples of these
markets include Amsterdam and Rotterdam in Europe, and Seattle, Dallas,
Columbus and Indianapolis in the United States.

MARKET PRESENCE

In each target market city for which SCI has not yet achieved critical mass
(or in selected submarkets in large distribution markets such as Dallas and
Atlanta), SCI intends to become one of the major distribution space owners and
operators within a four to seven year period. SCI believes that significant
market presence will provide the following benefits:

Value Enhancement. The significant local owners and developers in a given
market can usually generate above-market performance as measured by lease
rates and occupancy because of their ability to reduce turnover through
meeting their customers' needs to either expand or contract, by relocating
them within existing inventory of distribution space or by developing new
facilities. SCI believes that providing this flexibility permits it to realize
higher effective lease rates and lower levels of ongoing tenant improvement
investment. Effective implementation of this strategy requires a critical mass
of customers and space and ongoing communication between customers and the
Market Officers. SCI believes it has achieved this critical mass in the
following 27 target markets in the United States: Atlanta, Austin, Birmingham,
Charlotte, Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, East
Bay Area (San Francisco), El Paso, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las
Vegas, Memphis, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland, Reno,
Salt Lake City, San Antonio, South Bay Area (San Francisco), Tampa and
Washington, D.C./Baltimore.

Maximum Market Exposure. Size and market presence provides visibility and
access to and knowledge of potential leasing and corporate distribution
facilities services transactions. The industrial brokerage community and
corporate users are often motivated to develop a relationship with the
significant owners and developers in a particular market in order to achieve
their respective business objectives. The opportunity to compete for the
majority of customers' space requirements in each target submarket is a
crucial factor in achieving SCI's operating objectives.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

SCI's investment strategy is to build an international distribution network
in its target markets at prices significantly below replacement cost and to
build an inventory of land at attractive prices to support its corporate
distribution facilities services and master-planned distribution park
development programs. SCI's investment activities focus on developing and
acquiring distribution facilities with prospects for long-term cash flow
growth.

INVESTMENT ANALYSIS

Prospective investments are analyzed pursuant to several underwriting
criteria, including purchase price, replacement cost, competition and other
market factors, and prospects for long-term growth in cash flow. SCI's
development or acquisition decision is based upon the expected contribution of
the property to long-term cash flow growth. The expected cash flow
contribution is based on an estimate of lease revenues assuming a stabilized
vacancy factor which is generally 7%, less expenses not reimbursable by
customers incurred in operating the property. Future estimates of residual
value and, generally, the effects of debt financing are not considered in the
calculation.

For distribution facilities which SCI has acquired, stabilized operations
generally have been achieved six to 12 months after acquisition. The
underwriting criteria for development projects allow 12 months from shell
completion for achievement of stabilization; however, on average stabilization
has been achieved in less than 12 months. In 1997, for all development
projects that reached stabilization, the average time from shell completion to
stabilization was 7.1 months. "Stabilized" means that capital improvements,
repositioning, new management and new marketing programs (or development and
marketing, in the case of newly developed properties) have been completed and
in effect for a sufficient period of time (but in no case longer than 12
months) to achieve stabilized occupancy (typically 93%, but ranging from 90%
to 95%, depending on the submarket and product type) at market rents. SCI has
been successful in increasing overall occupancies on acquired and developed
properties during their initial months of operations resulting in an occupancy
rate of 95.01% for stabilized properties owned as of January 31, 1998.

The economic contribution of properties cannot be predicted with certainty,
and no assurance can be given that acquired or developed properties will
contribute to increased cash flow, or that acquisitions and developments will
be available on favorable terms in the future.

INVESTMENT IN GENERIC DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES

SCI has a strong preference toward facilities which are generic, meaning not
highly specialized, and therefore appealing to a broad base of potential
customers and easily modified for use by different customers at reasonable
costs. SCI believes generic distribution space will generate superior cash
flow with low on-going capital needs. In addition, SCI believes it has
developed an industry-leading product design. This product incorporates design
guidelines and construction standards that make usage more convenient for the
customers and also minimizes ongoing maintenance requirements and costs. Over
the long term, SCI expects these characteristics to enhance cash flow.

Development of Master-Planned Distribution Parks. SCI's development
activities concentrate on the development of industry-leading, master-planned,
full-service distribution parks in target markets that demonstrate both strong
demographic growth and excellent industrial real estate fundamentals, and in
which SCI can achieve a significant market presence. SCI also develops
facilities for major corporations and strong regional companies within the
distribution parks, and occasionally on a stand-alone basis, that are designed
as generic distribution buildings. The 50 professionals comprising the Global
Development Group focus on creating industry-leading, master-planned
distribution parks. These professionals have extensive experience in
development and construction of such facilities.

SCI is taking advantage of opportunities to purchase land at or below market
prices in order to provide a land inventory to meet the expansion and
relocation needs of SCI's existing customer base and to further penetrate its
target markets. At January 31, 1998, SCI owned 1,634 acres of development
land, and had fixed price options and rights of first refusal to acquire 505
acres and 36 acres, respectively, which in the aggregate will permit the
development of approximately 37.2 million square feet of additional
distribution space in 32 target market cities. Also, as of January 31, 1998,
SCI had an additional 656 acres under letters of intent or contingent
contracts, subject to the completion of due diligence, which, if acquired,
will permit the development of approximately 12 million square feet of
additional distribution space. Master-planned park development is a key
component of SCI's objective of achieving long-term sustainable growth in cash
flow.

SCI's parks provide extensive customer services and typically range in size
from 25 to 150 acres in order to create strong identity and to permit
economies of scale with respect to providing customer services. SCI's master-
planned distribution parks include controls, covenants and regulations
intended to maintain and enhance the long-term desirability of the parks and
thereby attract and retain high quality distribution and light manufacturing
customers. Each park's service personnel coordinate a variety of services such
as snow removal, customer move-ins, landscaping maintenance and air
conditioning repairs.

Inventory Building Program. In SCI's master-planned distribution parks, SCI
commences development of an inventory building when it perceives an emerging
demand in a specific submarket from both existing SCI customers who are
expanding and potential new customers whose leases for their current space are
approaching expiration. By having an appropriate supply of distribution space,
SCI can meet the expansion needs of existing customers and can accommodate new
customers. From inception through January 31, 1998, SCI completed or commenced
development of 24.0 million square feet of inventory buildings with a total
expected investment of $858.8 million, including 200,000 square feet disposed
of to date, in 33 target market cities in the United States, Europe and
Mexico.

Corporate Distribution Facilities Services. Building facilities for
customers enhances SCI's ability to meet customers' needs. SCI's corporate
distribution facility program is targeted to distribution customers whose
facility requirements are generic, not special purpose, so as to facilitate
the property's future marketability and functionality. From inception through
January 31, 1998, SCI completed or commenced development of corporate
distribution facilities totaling 11.6 million square feet with a total
expected investment of $410.8 million, including 1.4 million square feet that
have been disposed of through January 1998. In addition, as of January 31,
1998, SCI was in active negotiations for 6.3 million square feet of additional
corporate distribution facility projects globally.

Acquisition of Distribution Space. SCI's acquisition activities focus on
distribution space because of the expected predictability and stability of the
cash flow from such facilities. Distribution space provides more predictable
cash flow because it requires minimal levels of capital investment in
specialized tenant improvements. Additionally, the initial investment in
tenant improvements can often be utilized by subsequent customers without
major renovation or alteration. In general, only cosmetic repair and
replacement is required to re-tenant vacant spaces.

The Acquisitions and Due Diligence Group, comprised of 19 professionals, is
responsible for property and land acquisitions and related due diligence
globally. SCI's strategy for distribution space acquisitions has three
principal components.

The first component is market coverage. In addition to the professionals in
the Acquisitions and Due Diligence Group, the 25 local Market Officers also
assist in identifying opportunities in their respective markets. This staffing
commitment permits in-depth acquisitions coverage of SCI's target markets and
thorough due diligence conducted in accordance with uniform procedures.

8


The second component is the attainment of critical mass within each target
market through acquisitions of distribution space and customers in targeted
submarkets and then opportunistically adding additional assets as attractive
opportunities arise. SCI believes it has achieved critical mass in 27 target
market cities in the United States as of January 31, 1998.

The third component of SCI's acquisition strategy is the concentration on
transactions under $5 million. SCI's commitment to identifying and completing
multiple transactions under $5 million results in reduced competition from
institutional buyers due to their size or occupancy level. The local presence
of the Market Services Group also enables the Acquisitions and Due Diligence
Group to pursue under-leased properties which can benefit from intensive local
management and marketing. Between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1997, SCI
completed 150 acquisitions of $5 million or less.

PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION

The industrial real estate on which SCI focuses is typically used for
storage, packaging, assembly, distribution and light manufacturing of consumer
and industrial products. SCI divides industrial properties into two
categories: distribution (which can also accommodate light manufacturing and
assembly customers) and service center. SCI's objective is to focus its
acquisition and distribution park development activities primarily on generic
distribution facilities with an average office finish level of less than 10%.
Due to typically increased costs of retrofitting customer spaces, service
center product will be acquired only on a very limited basis as part of
portfolio acquisitions in which the majority of product being acquired is bulk
distribution. As of January 31, 1998, the buildings in SCI's operating
portfolio of 92.5 million square feet contained 9.9% office finish.

Distribution. SCI's distribution space is adaptable for both distribution
and light manufacturing or assembly uses. SCI's operating portfolio included
98.9% of such product at January 31, 1998 based on square feet. The following
characteristics generally define the distribution facilities which SCI owns
and intends to acquire or develop in the future:



TYPICAL RANGE
------- -----

Clear Height............ 22 ft.-24 ft. 18 ft.-30 ft.
Building Depth.......... 180 ft.-240 ft. 140 ft.-300 ft.
Loading................. Dock Dock or Dock and Grade

Average Square Footage
Per
Customer............... 28,687 sq. ft. 4,500-200,000 sq. ft.
Site Coverage........... 45% 30-50%


Service Center. Under SCI's definition, service centers are multi-customer
buildings that have a higher percentage of office space than distribution
properties and only have grade-level loading as opposed to truck dock loading.
Service center product constituted 1.1% of the square feet in SCI's operating
portfolio as of January 31, 1998.

CUSTOMERS

CUSTOMER BASE OBJECTIVE

SCI's objective is to develop a customer base in each target market city
which is diverse in terms of industry concentration and represents a broad
spectrum of international, national, regional and local distribution space
users who have potential for growth in demand for space.

9


SCI had over 2,500 customers (2,944 customer leases) in 84.5 million square
feet of occupied space and 336 global customers of which 209 were multiple
market customers at January 31, 1998. Certain square footage characteristics
of these leases, representing a mix of local, regional and global customers,
are summarized as follows:

===== ======


SCI believes that having a large number of customers with generic space
requirements in each submarket will provide the opportunity to maximize cash
flow through intensively managing its customer base. At the same time,
exposure to overall occupancy declines is reduced by achieving a broad
spectrum of customers in each submarket. 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).

As of January 31, 1998, SCI's 336 global customers leased 38.8% of SCI's
operating distribution space portfolio of 92.5 million square feet, as
compared to 299 global customers that leased 35.6% of SCI's operating
distribution space portfolio of 81.6 million square feet at January 31, 1997.

DIVERSIFIED CUSTOMER LEASE EXPIRATIONS AND RENEWALS

Between January 31, 1998 and December 31, 1998, leases representing
approximately 18.7% of the leased square feet in SCI's portfolio will expire,
creating opportunities for SCI to increase rents upon renewal or replacement
of those leases. The following table shows for SCI's properties as of January
31, 1998: (i) the aggregate number of leases expiring, (ii) the square footage
subject to such leases, (iii) the percentage of total square footage
represented by such leases, (iv) the annual base rentals represented by such
leases and (v) the percentage of annual base rentals represented by such

(2) Operating properties at December 31, 1997 include recently completed
development properties in initial lease-up (2.9 million square feet
completed in the fourth quarter of 1997) which impacts the overall
occupancy percentage at December 31, 1997.

Based on information compiled by the CB Commercial Property Information
Management System, occupancy rates for industrial properties that can
accommodate a customer requiring 100,000 or more square feet in major U.S.
cities were relatively stable from 1992 through the end of 1997. Properties
covered include both vacant and occupied available space in existing and
under-construction buildings within six months of completion. SCI has not
independently verified this information.

LEASES

Net leases, modified gross leases and gross leases as of December 31, 1997
represented 55.85%, 41.54% and 2.61%, respectively, of the total square
footage under lease by SCI's customers. Under net leases, real estate taxes,
insurance costs and operating expenses are passed through to customers. Under
modified gross leases, real estate taxes and insurance costs in excess of
specified amounts and operating expenses are passed through to customers.
Under gross leases, the landlord pays all real estate taxes, insurance costs
and operating expenses.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

SCI provides active and effective local management in order to increase cash
flow and to enhance the long-term economic performance of its properties. In
order to provide a higher level of service to its customers, SCI initiated
direct property management services in January 1994 through the Property
Manager, an affiliate of Security Capital, that provided property management
services exclusively for SCI properties. Effective September 9, 1997, SCI
acquired the Property Manager (see "--SCI Management" below) and merged it
into a subsidiary of SCI. SCI's property management group seeks to provide
exceptional customer service and attention to customer needs. The group
develops and implements proprietary operating, recruiting and training systems
to achieve consistent levels of performance and professionalism in all target
market cities it manages. This group has substantially improved the occupancy
and rental income for under-leased properties acquired by SCI.

As of January 31, 1998, SCI's property management group provided services in
37 target market cities in the United States, Mexico, and Europe and was
actively managing 90.0 million square feet (97.28%) of SCI's operating
portfolio of 92.5 million square feet.

CAPITAL MARKETS

SCI believes that a successful REIT must have the ability to access the
equity and debt markets efficiently and expeditiously. SCI's capital markets
ability permits it to capitalize on the acquisition and development
opportunities which it believes exist in its target market cities. In order to
more efficiently raise capital and enhance relationships with major
institutional sources of capital, SCI utilizes Security Capital Markets Group
Incorporated ("Capital Markets Group"), a registered broker-dealer subsidiary
of Security Capital. Capital Markets Group has assisted in or arranged
securities offerings for SCI, including:

. In August 1992, SCI received a commitment for a $40 million investment
from Security Capital at a price of $10.00 per Common Share;

. In March 1993, SCI received commitments for $200.0 million of net

. In September and October 1995, SCI completed a $250.0 million public
offering of Common Shares to shareholders and third parties at a price of
$15.375 per share, with no commission cost;

. In February 1996, SCI raised $192.3 million of net proceeds from an

The offering provides for a 30-day over-allotment option of up to 562,500
Common Shares. Net proceeds to SCI would be $90.2 million or up to $103.7
million if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. The offering
is expected to close on March 18, 1998.

SCI is contemplating making an offering (the "Contemplated Preferred Share
Offering") of approximately $125 million of preferred shares having terms
substantially similar to SCI's Series C Preferred Shares. There can be no
assurances, however, that the Contemplated Preferred Share Offering will be
consummated on these terms.

SCI has a $350.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with
NationsBank as agent for a bank group. Borrowings bear interest at SCI's
option, at either an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) the greater of the
federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the prime rate, or (b) LIBOR plus .95%, based
upon SCI's current senior debt ratings. 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 1999 and may be extended for an
additional year with the approval of NationsBank and the other participating
lenders; if not extended, at SCI's election, the line 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 (as
defined) of not less than 1.75 to 1. As of December 31, 1997, SCI was in
compliance with all covenants contained in the line of credit, and as of March
12, 1998, $275.0 of borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit. On
October 1, 1997, SCI extended its $15.0 million short-term discretionary
unsecured line of credit with NationsBank through October 1, 1998 and
increased the amount to $25.0 million. 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 this credit line as of March 12, 1998. Additionally, on January 16, 1998,
SCI borrowed $200.0 million from NationsBank in the form of an unsecured
bridge loan due March 31, 1998.

SCI MANAGEMENT

SCI's success depends upon management's ability to provide strategic and
day-to-day management, research, investment analysis, acquisition and due
diligence, development, marketing, asset management, capital markets, asset
disposition, management information systems support and legal and accounting
services. The majority of these services are provided internally by SCI's
management, while certain other services are provided by Security Capital
pursuant to an administrative services agreement ("Administrative Services
Agreement") as discussed below under "--Administrative Services Agreement."

Internalization of Management and Consummation of Merger Transaction. During
the third quarter of 1997, SCI became an internally managed REIT when it
acquired the operations of the REIT Manager and the

13


Property Manager owned by Security Capital in exchange for 3,692,023 SCI
Common Shares (the "Merger). Following the Merger, SCI became an internally
managed REIT and personnel employed by the REIT Manager and the Property
Manager became employees of Security Capital Industrial Management
Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of SCI ("Security Capital Industrial
Management"). SCI believes the internalization of management will have a
positive impact on earnings growth as the company continues to grow. See "Item
7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Overview--Consummation of Merger Transaction."

Administrative Services Agreement. Upon closing of the Merger, SCI entered
into the Administrative Services Agreement with Security Capital for services
which 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.
These services are provided in exchange for a fee equal to Security Capital's
direct cost of providing the service plus an overhead factor of 20%, subject
to a maximum of approximately $2.0 million during 1997 and $5.1 million for
1998. In 1997, $1.1 million was paid to Security Capital under the
Administrative Services Agreement. The Administrative Services Agreement,
which expires on December 31, 1998, provides for automatic renewals of
consecutive one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of the
independent Trustees.

SCI believes that the quality of management should be assessed in light of
the following factors:

Management Depth. SCI believes that management should have several senior
executives with the leadership, operational, investment and financial skills
and experience to oversee the entire operations of the REIT. See "--Officers
and Trustees of SCI."

Strategic Vision. SCI believes that management should have the strategic
vision to determine an investment focus which provides favorable initial
yields and long-term growth prospects. SCI's management has demonstrated its
strategic vision by focusing on building an international distribution network
at prices below replacement cost and a land inventory at attractive prices.
SCI also focuses on selected distribution markets where demographic and supply
factors have permitted high occupancies at increasing rents, conditions which
are consistent with the long-term demographic forecast for SCI's target market
cities. In addition, SCI differentiated itself from its competition through
the SCI International Operating System(TM), as the first international
operating company that was able to address and service a corporate customer's
distribution space requirements on an international, national, regional and
local basis. See "--SCI Growth and Operating Strategy" and "Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

Research Capability. SCI believes that management should have the means for
researching markets to determine appropriate investment opportunities. SCI
divides its target market cities into numerous submarkets for analysis
purposes. As part of the Administrative Services Agreement, Security Capital
Real Estate Research Group Incorporated ("RERG"), an affiliate of Security
Capital, devotes substantial time to research, on a submarket-by-submarket
basis, under the supervision of the Managing Directors of SCI; hence, RERG
supplements SCI's strategic focus and investment program.

Investment Committee Process. SCI believes that internal investment
committees should provide discipline and guidance to the investment activities
of the REIT in order to achieve its investment goals. The eleven members of
SCI's investment committee have a combined 164 years of experience in the real
estate industry. See "--Officers and Trustees of SCI." The internal investment
committee receives detailed written analyses and research, in a standardized
format, from SCI's acquisition personnel and evaluates all prospective
investments pursuant to uniform underwriting criteria prior to submission of
investment recommendations to the investment committee of the Board. The
quality of the investment committee process is evident from the ability of SCI
to achieve its investment goals. From inception through December 31, 1997, SCI
has generally realized its projected initial returns and growth from
distribution property investments.

Acquisitions Capability/Due Diligence Process. SCI believes that management
should include experienced senior personnel dedicated to acquiring investments
and performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. SCI

14


employs 19 full time acquisition and due diligence professionals and has
developed uniform systems and procedures for due diligence. As described under
"--Investment Strategy--Investment in Generic Distribution Product," SCI's
acquisition and due diligence group has screened and selected a large volume
of successful investments.

Development Capability. SCI believes that by internally developing projects,
management can capture for the REIT the value which normally escapes through
sales premiums paid to successful developers. SCI's 50 development
professionals have substantial development experience, as described in "--
Officers and Trustees of SCI." SCI has engaged in substantial development of
distribution space at attractive yields and believes that development will
provide growth when the market for acquisitions becomes less favorable. From
inception through January 31, 1998, SCI has commenced or completed development
of 35.6 million square feet of distribution space with a total expected
investment of $1.270 billion, including 1.6 million square feet that has been
disposed of through January 31, 1998. SCI has commenced development of 78
master-planned parks in 33 target market cities in the United States, Mexico
and Europe. As of January 31, 1998, SCI owned 1,634 acres of additional land
and had fixed price options and rights of first refusal to acquire 505 acres
and 36 acres, respectively, which in the aggregate will permit the development
of approximately 37.2 million square feet of additional distribution space in
32 target market cities. Also, as of January 31, 1998, SCI had an additional
656 acres under letters of intent or contingent contracts, subject to
completion of due diligence, which will permit the development of
approximately 12 million square feet of additional distribution space. See "--
Investment Strategy--Investment in Generic Distribution Product."

Operating Capability. SCI believes that management can substantially improve
Funds from Operations, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Funds from Operations," and see
"Item 6. Selected Financial Data," by actively and effectively managing
assets. SCI conceived of and developed the SCI International Operating
System(TM) to effectively operate SCI's business and provide customers with an
exceptional level of coordinated, comprehensive services, including property
management. The management of SCI's distribution facilities is controlled and
effectively administered through the SCI International Operating System(TM).

Capital Markets Capability. SCI believes that management must be able to
effectively raise equity and debt capital in order for SCI to achieve superior
growth through investment. As set forth under "--Capital Markets", Capital
Markets Group, a subsidiary of Security Capital, has successfully assisted in
or arranged funding for SCI's investment program, including SCI's initial
public offering in March 1994 after which SCI commenced trading on the NYSE.
Following the acquisition of the REIT Manager in September 1997 as described
under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Overview--Consummation of Merger Transaction," SCI has
the capability in-house to raise debt and equity capital or may use the
services of the Capital Markets Group for a fee to arrange such offerings as
in the December 1997 private equity placement described under "--Capital
Markets."

Communications/Shareholder Relations Capability. SCI's success in capital
markets and asset acquisition activities can be enhanced by management's
ability to effectively communicate SCI's strategy and performance to
investors, sellers of property and the financial media. SCI has full time
personnel who prepare informational materials for and conduct periodic
meetings with the investment community and analysts.

SCI believes that successfully combining the foregoing attributes
significantly enhances a REIT's ability to increase cash flow and its market
valuation. SCI's cash flow from operating activities and market valuation have
increased under the current administration.

EMPLOYEES

Prior to September 9, 1997, SCI had no employees. In connection with the
internalization of the management functions, all individuals previously
employed by the REIT Manager and the Property Manager became employees of SCI.
SCI has approximately 450 employees and believes its relationship with its
employees to be good. SCI's employees are not represented by a collective
bargaining agreement.


25


COMPETITION

In general, 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 capacity 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
(including other REITs) 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances at, on, under or in its property. The costs of removal or
remediation of such substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose
liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous substances. The
presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell
such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. SCI has
not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance,
liability or other claim in connection with any of the properties owned or
being acquired at December 31, 1997, and SCI is not aware of any environmental
condition with respect to any of its properties that is likely to be material.
SCI has subjected each of its properties to a Phase I environmental assessment
(which does not involve invasive procedures such as soil sampling or ground
water analysis) by independent consultants. 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 its business, financial condition or results of operations.
No assurance can be given, however, that these assessments and investigations
reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that no prior owner or
operator created any material environmental condition not known to SCI or the
independent consultants or that future uses or conditions (including, without
limitation, customer actions or changes in applicable environmental laws and
regulations) will not result in unreimbursed costs relating to environmental
liabilities.

INSURANCE COVERAGE

SCI currently carries comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake,
extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to the properties
with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar
properties; however, an uninsured loss could result in loss of capital
investment and anticipated profits.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The following tables set forth certain information with respect to SCI's
distribution properties owned as of December 31, 1997. No individual property,
or group of properties operated as a single business unit, amounts to 10% or
more of SCI's consolidated total assets at December 31, 1997 nor does the
gross revenue from any such properties amount to 10% or more of SCI's
consolidated gross revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

(1) Includes properties under development at their budgeted total development
costs, rather than costs incurred to date.
(2) Does not include refrigerated warehousing facilities.
(3) Includes 62 buildings under development.
(4) Includes 47 buildings under development.

Consistent with SCI's strategy to build a critical mass in the three key
target markets of Chicago, Los Angeles and the New Jersey/I-95 corridor, the
combined percentage of real estate investments for these markets to SCI's
total real estate investments, increased from 10.11% at December 31, 1996 to
13.80% at December 31, 1997.

There are numerous other distribution 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 distribution facilities
compete for the acquisition, development and leasing of distribution space.
Many of these persons have substantial resources and experience.

THE PARTNERSHIPS

SCI's intention is to own substantially all properties directly; however, to
facilitate certain strategic acquisitions, SCI has completed four transactions
which involved the formation of four partnerships. At December 31, 1997, SCI
owned directly or indirectly 68.7%, 97.6%, 80.6% and 96.7% of SCI Limited
Partnership-I, SCI Limited Partnership-II, SCI Limited Partnership-III and SCI
Limited Partnership-IV, respectively (collectively, the "Partnerships"). The
properties owned through SCI Limited Partnership-I cannot be sold, prior to
the occurrence of certain events, without the consent of the limited partners
thereto, other than in tax-deferred exchanges, which restriction could
adversely affect SCI's ability to strategically reconfigure the portion of its
investment assets represented by this Partnership. There are no restrictions
on the sale of properties held by SCI Limited Partnership-II, SCI Limited
Partnership-III or SCI Limited Partnership-IV. SCI views all assets acquired
as long-term investments but will only agree to partnership resale
restrictions where the assets acquired are of such strategic quality that SCI
anticipates that there will be no change in investment strategy with respect
to such assets through the duration of the restriction. SCI may acquire
additional properties through partnerships in the future.

The Partnerships have been organized as Delaware limited partnerships.
Generally, pursuant to the Partnership agreements, SCI, as the sole general
partner in each of the Partnerships other than SCI Limited Partnership-IV, in
which a wholly owned subsidiary of SCI is the sole general partner, has full
responsibility for

41


the management and control of the Partnerships, and the limited partners have
no authority to transact business for, or, except as described below,
participate in the management decisions of, the Partnerships. However, any
decision to amend certain provisions of the applicable Partnership agreement,
to dissolve a Partnership prior to the term set forth in the applicable
Partnership agreement or to enter into certain extraordinary transactions
where the limited partners would not receive the same consideration as
shareholders of SCI, would require the consent of all limited partners.
Pursuant to the Partnership agreements, SCI or its wholly owned subsidiary, as
the case may be, may not voluntarily withdraw from the applicable Partnership
or transfer or assign its interests in the Partnership without the consent of
all of the limited partners thereto. The limited partners may freely transfer
their Partnership units to affiliates, provided that such transfer does not
cause a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and
does not cause SCI to cease to comply with requirements under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), for qualification as a REIT.
Each of the Partnership agreements grants to limited partners the right to
exchange their Partnership units for Common Shares, subject to the conditions
described below.

Distinction from Other REIT Partnerships

The Partnerships differ from partnerships formed by certain other REITs
(which are commonly referred to as UPREITs) in that:

. A substantial majority of the limited partners were previously
unaffiliated with SCI, thus the Partnership transactions were negotiated
on an arms' length basis;

. None of the limited partners have a controlling influence over SCI, which
is the sole general and managing partner of each of the Partnerships
other than SCI Limited Partnership-IV, in which a wholly owned subsidiary
of SCI is the sole general partner;

. SCI or its wholly-owned subsidiary, as the case may be, has sole
discretion as to the disposition of assets held in the Partnerships,
subject to one Partnership's requirement that for the foreseeable future
all dispositions be through tax-deferred exchanges, as to which SCI has
sole discretion; and

. SCI is not restricted from acquiring properties outside the Partnerships
and intends to own a majority of its assets directly, so that no conflict
of interests exists with respect to future acquisitions.

12.6% of SCI's real estate (based on cost) is owned by the following
partnerships:

SCI Limited Partnership-I

In connection with the formation of SCI Limited Partnership-I, certain
previously unaffiliated parties agreed to contribute certain properties to
this Partnership in exchange for the issuance by such Partnership of
approximately 4,520,533 Partnership units. In exchange for the Partnership
units, the limited partners contributed the following properties: (i)
1,704,333 square feet of industrial property in SCI's San Francisco (South Bay
Area), California target market; and (ii) 2,186,572 square feet in SCI's San
Francisco (East Bay Area), California target market. The foregoing properties
had an aggregate purchase price to SCI of $190 million.

The Partnership agreement governing SCI Limited Partnership-I grants limited
partners the right to consent to (i) the sale or other disposition of any
property of the Partnership (other than through a tax-deferred exchange or a
pledge to secure a financing) or (ii) the incurrence of any indebtedness
(other than loans which SCI may make to the Partnership for capital
requirements). The requirement for the consent of the limited partners in
connection with a sale or other disposition of a property expires upon the
earlier to occur of the 30th anniversary of the date of the Partnership
agreement or the date on which 75% of the Partnership units outstanding have
been exchanged for Common Shares. Limited partners are entitled to exchange
each Partnership unit for up to one Common Share. A maximum of 4,520,531
Common Shares were so issuable effective as of January 1, 1995. On May 31,
1996, SCI filed a registration statement to register the resale of 4,520,531
Common Shares issuable

42


upon exchange of SCI Limited Partnership-I units. The registration statement
was declared effective on June 29, 1996. Additionally, the limited partners
are entitled to receive fully cumulative quarterly distributions per
Partnership unit equal to the quarterly distributions payable in respect of
Common Shares. In the event that the Partnership sells any of its properties,
limited partners are entitled to a pro rata distribution of the net proceeds
of such sale, with a corresponding downward adjustment in the number of Common
Shares for which a unit may be exchanged. Each limited partner has agreed
that, from and after the time that such limited partner has exercised its
right to exchange a Partnership unit for a Common Share and for a period of
four years after the date of the Partnership agreement, the limited partner
will not, during any calendar year, sell Common Shares owned by the limited
partner if such sale would exceed 33% of the aggregate number of Partnership
units and Common Shares outstanding on the date of the Partnership agreement.
All cash flow available after payment of distributions to limited partners
will be distributed to SCI, as general partner.

SCI Limited Partnership-II

In exchange for approximately 645,867 Partnership units, the limited
partners of SCI Limited Partnership-II contributed the following properties:
(i) 437,542 square feet of industrial property in SCI's Dallas/Fort Worth,
Texas target market; (ii) 217,504 square feet in SCI's Austin, Texas target
market; (iii) 132,605 square feet in SCI's San Francisco (East Bay Area),
California target market; (iv) 51,750 square feet in SCI's Denver, Colorado
target market; (v) 493,894 square feet in SCI's Charlotte, North Carolina
target market; and (vi) 270,000 square feet in SCI's El Paso, Texas target
market. The foregoing properties had an aggregate purchase price to SCI of
$45.5 million. None of the limited partners of SCI Limited Partnership-II is
affiliated with SCI.

The Partnership agreement governing SCI Limited Partnership-II granted to
limited partners the right to exchange each Partnership unit for a Common
Share beginning on February 15, 1995. On May 19, 1995, SCI filed a
registration statement to register the resale of 955,864 Common Shares
relating to Common Shares issuable upon exchange of SCI Limited Partnership-II
Partnership units and up to 310,000 Common Shares issued in one of SCI's prior
private placement offerings; such registration statement was declared
effective on June 26, 1995. Through December 31, 1997, limited partners had
exchanged 555,654 of their Partnership units in SCI Limited Partnership-II for
555,651 Common Shares (and cash payments for partial units). As a result of
these conversions and additional capital contributions by SCI, SCI's general
partnership interest increased from 81.2% to 97.6% and 90,213 limited
partnership units remain outstanding in SCI Limited Partnership-II. Limited
partners are also entitled to fully cumulative quarterly distributions equal
to the quarterly distributions paid in respect of a Common Share and any
unpaid distributions will bear interest at prime plus 1%. Until the 10th
anniversary of the date of the Partnership agreement, upon any exchange of
Partnership units for Common Shares, limited partners are entitled to receive
all cumulated and unpaid distributions (together with interest thereon). After
the 10th anniversary of the date of the Partnership agreement, limited
partners are not entitled to receive cumulated and unpaid distributions (or
interest thereon) upon any exchange of Partnership units for Common Shares
unless the fair market value of a Common Share for which a unit is
exchangeable is less than 110% of the amount paid by a partner for a unit. All
cash flow available after payment of distributions to limited partners will be
distributed to SCI, as general partner. In the event that the Partnership
sells any of its properties, SCI as general partner is entitled to a
distribution of all net proceeds from such sale.

SCI Limited Partnership-III and SCI Limited Partnership-IV

On October 28, 1994, SCI acquired $91.7 million of additional properties and
related assets through two Partnerships, SCI Limited Partnership-III and SCI
Limited Partnership-IV. SCI Limited Partnership-IV contained approximately $81
million of properties and related assets at December 31, 1997, and is
structured as a distinct entity to maintain the credit rating of the secured
notes assumed by such Partnership. A total of 583,512 limited partnership
units were issued by these two Partnerships to certain previously unaffiliated
parties. SCI contributed $35.4 million of cash to these Partnerships in 1994
to retire debt, pay part of the aggregate property purchase price, make
capital improvements and pay closing costs. $47.1 million of mortgage debt was
assumed by these

43


Partnerships. During 1995, SCI contributed an additional $11.9 million to SCI
Limited Partnership-III for property acquisitions which increased SCI's
general partnership interest from 50.4% to 71.8%. In 1996, SCI contributed
$4.2 million to SCI Limited Partnership III in connection with property
acquisition. In the aggregate, these contributions increased SCI's general
partnership interest from 71.8% to 75.6%. On October 23, 1997, SCI filed a
registration statement to register the resale of 583,508 Common Shares
issuable upon exchange of SCI Limited Partnership-III and SCI Limited
Partnership-IV units. The registration statement was declared effective on
November 6, 1997. In the fourth quarter of 1997, 105,000 partnership units
were converted to 105,000 SCI Common Shares, bringing SCI's general
partnership interest to 80.6% at December 31, 1997. During 1996 and 1997, SCI
contributed $2.5 million to SCI Limited Partnership IV in connection with tax
deferred exchanges of real estate which increased SCI's general partnership
interest from 96.36% to 96.65% at December 31, 1997. There were 409,900 and
68,612 partnership units outstanding in SCI Limited Partnership-III and SCI
Limited Partnership-IV, respectively, at December 31, 1997.

The Partnership agreements for these Partnerships are substantially similar
to the Partnership agreement governing SCI Limited Partnership-II and permit
holders of limited partnership units to exchange each unit for a Common Share
beginning on October 29, 1995. SCI or its wholly owned subsidiary, as the case
may be, as general partner, has complete discretion and control with respect
to all management matters, including disposition of assets, except for certain
restrictions on the retirement of assumed debt.

Limited partners are entitled to fully cumulative quarterly distributions
equal to the quarterly distributions paid in respect of a Common Share and any
unpaid distributions will bear interest at prime plus 1%. Until the 10th
anniversary of the date of the Partnership agreements, upon any exchange of
Partnership units for Common Shares, limited partners are entitled to receive
all cumulated and unpaid distributions (together with interest thereon). After
the 10th anniversary of the date of the Partnership agreements, limited
partners are not entitled to receive cumulated and unpaid distributions (or
interest thereon) upon any exchange of Partnership units for Common Shares
unless the fair market value of a Common Share for which a unit is
exchangeable is less than 110% of the amount paid by a limited partner for a
unit. All cash flow available after payment of distributions to limited
partners will be distributed to SCI or its wholly owned subsidiary, as the
case may be, as general partner. In the event that the Partnerships sell any
of their respective properties, SCI or its wholly owned subsidiary, as the
case may be, as general partner, is entitled to a distribution of all net
proceeds from such sale, except (during the first 10 years of the Partnerships
only) to the extent of unpaid distributions and interest thereon.

SCI DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

SCI Development Services Incorporated ("SCI Development Services") was
incorporated in Delaware in August 1994 for the purpose of acquiring,
developing, operating, and selling distribution space facilities either for
its own account or for third parties. SCI owns 100% of the nonvoting preferred
stock of SCI Development Services and an unaffiliated third party owns 100% of
the voting common stock and, as a result, SCI has no control over the
operations of SCI Development Services. SCI, through its preferred stock
ownership, is entitled to 66 2/3% of the first $300,000 of net operating cash
flow and is entitled to 95% of the remaining net operating cash flow of SCI
Development Services. The activities of SCI Development Services are
consolidated with SCI. As of December 31, 1997, SCI Development Services' real
estate portfolio had a book value of $188.7 million. SCI Development Services
is a taxable corporation and pays federal and state income taxes at the
applicable corporate rates.

UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

SCI Logistics

SCI Logistics was incorporated in Delaware in April 1997 for the purpose of
investing in CSI, a limited liability company that owns and operates
refrigerated warehousing. SCI Logistics owns a majority interest (77.1%) in
CSI and SCI owns 100% of the nonvoting preferred stock of SCI Logistics. An
unaffiliated third

44


party owns 100% of the voting common stock of SCI Logistics and, as a result,
SCI has no control over the operations of SCI Logistics. As of December 31,
1997, SCI's investment in and advances to SCI Logistics totalled $85.6
million. CSI had total assets of $195 million at December 31, 1997. SCI,
through its preferred stock ownership, is entitled to 95% of the net operating
cash flow of SCI Logistics. SCI accounts for its investment in SCI Logistics
on the equity method of accounting. SCI Logistics is a taxable corporation and
will pay federal and state income taxes at the applicable corporate rates.

Frigoscandia SA

Frigoscandia SA was incorporated in Luxembourg in January 1998 for the
purpose of investing in Frigoscandia, which owns and operates refrigerated
warehousing in Europe. SCI owns 100% of the nonvoting preferred stock of
Frigoscandia SA. Security Capital owns 100% of the voting common stock of
Frigoscandia SA and, as a result, SCI has no control over the operations of
Frigoscandia SA. In January 1998, Frigoscandia SA purchased Frigoscandia for
$395.0 million. SCI, through its preferred stock ownership, is entitled to 95%
of the net operating cash flow of Frigoscandia SA. SCI accounts for its
investment in Frigoscandia SA on the equity method of accounting. Frigoscandia
SA is a taxable corporation and will pay taxes at the applicable corporate
rates.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

SCI from time to time may be a party to a variety of legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of its business. Such matters generally are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on SCI's business, financial
position or results of operations.

SCI's Common Shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "SCN." The
following table sets forth the high and low sale prices of the Common Shares
as reported in the NYSE Composite Tape, and distributions per Common Share,
for the periods indicated.

1996.
(2) Declared in the fourth quarter of 1996 and paid in the first quarter of
1997.
(3) Declared in the fourth quarter of 1997 and paid in the first quarter of
1998.
(4) On March 5, 1998, the Board announced a projected increase in the 1998
distribution level to $1.24 per Common Share which would increase the
quarterly distribution for the remaining quarters of 1998 to $0.3183 per
Common Share.

On March 12, 1998, SCI had approximately 117,388,358 Common Shares
outstanding, which were held of record by approximately 1,200 shareholders.

SCI, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to make distributions (other
than capital gain distributions) to its shareholders in amounts at least equal
to (i) the sum of (A) 95% of its "REIT taxable income" (computed without
regard to the dividends paid deduction and its net capital gain) and (B) 95%
of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (ii)
the sum of certain items of noncash income. SCI's distribution strategy is to
distribute what it believes is a conservative percentage of its cash flow,
permitting SCI to retain funds for capital improvements and other investments
while funding its distributions.

SCI announces the following year's projected annual distribution level after
the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year. At its
December 1997 Board meeting, the Board announced a projected increase in the
annual distribution level from $1.07 to $1.14 per Common Share. On March 5,
1998, the Board announced a projected increase in the 1998 distribution level
to $1.24 per Common Share. The payment of distributions is subject to the
discretion of the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and
operating results of SCI and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board
during the budget year.

After the closing of the Merger, holders of SCI's Common Shares (other than
Security Capital), Series B Preferred Shares and limited partnership units as
of September 16, 1997, received warrants from Security Capital to purchase
3,608,202 shares of Security Capital's Class B common stock, in the ratio of
0.046549 warrants for each Common Share held, 0.059676 warrants for each
Series B Preferred Share held and 0.046549 warrants for each limited
partnership unit held. Each warrant can be exercised for one share of Security
Capital's Class B common stock at an exercise price of $28.00 per share
through September 18, 1998. Security Capital issued these warrants to SCI's
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. The warrants are traded on the NYSE and at the close of business on
March 12, 1998 were trading at $3.00 per warrant.

46


For federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary
income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital or a combination thereof.
Distributions that exceed SCI's current and accumulated earnings and profits
(calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather than a
dividend and reduce the shareholder's basis in the Common Shares. To the
extent that a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and
profits and the shareholder's basis in the Common Shares, it will generally be
treated as gain from the sale or exchange of that shareholder's Common Shares.
SCI annually notifies shareholders of the taxability of distributions paid
during the preceding year. The following summarizes the taxability of
distributions paid in 1996 and 1995 on the Common Shares and the estimated
taxability for 1997:



YEAR ENDED DECEMBER

Per Common Share:
Ordinary Income......................................... $1.07 $0.879 $0.692

Return of Capital....................................... 0.00 0.131 0.243
----- ------ ------
Total.................................................. $1.07 $ 1.01 $0.935
===== ====== ======


Under federal income tax rules, SCI's earnings and profits are first
allocated to its preferred shares, which increases the portion of the Common
Shares distribution classified as return of capital. The portion of
distributions characterized as return of capital results primarily from the
excess of distributions over earnings primarily because non-cash charges such
as depreciation are added to earnings in determining distribution levels. See
"Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Results of Operations."

For federal income tax purposes, the following summary reflects the
estimated taxability of dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares for the periods prior
to 1997 and the estimated taxability for 1997:

SCI'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.
SCI's tax returns for prior years have not been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service and, therefore, the taxability of distributions is subject to
change.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

In March 1995, SCI adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
(the "Plan"). The Plan allows holders of Common Shares the opportunity to
acquire additional Common Shares by automatically reinvesting distributions.
Common Shares are acquired pursuant to the 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 Plan also allows participating 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. Shareholders who do not
participate in the Plan continue to receive distributions as declared.

September 1997. This expense is not deducted for the purposes of
calculating funds from operations due to its non-recurring and non-cash
nature.
(2) Funds from operations represents net earnings computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") before minority interest
and before gains/losses on disposition of depreciated

49


property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, significant non-
recurring items and significant non-cash items. Funds from operations
should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other
GAAP measurement of performance as an indicator of SCI's operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or
financing activities as a measure of liquidity. SCI believes that funds
from operations is helpful to a reader as a measure of the performance of
an equity REIT because, along with cash flow from operating activities,
financing activities and investing activities, it provides a reader with an
indication of the ability of SCI to incur and service debt, to make capital
expenditures and to fund other cash needs. On January 1, 1995, SCI adopted
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("NAREIT")
revised definition of funds from operations. Under this more conservative
definition, loan cost amortization is not added back to net earnings in
determining funds from operations. For comparability, funds from operations
for the periods prior to January 1, 1995 give effect to the revised
definition. The funds from operations measure presented by SCI, while
consistent with the NAREIT definition, will not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other REITs which do not compute funds from operations
in a manner consistent with SCI. Funds from operations are not intended to
represent cash made available to shareholders. Cash distributions paid to
shareholders are presented above in the "Operating Data."

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with SCI's financial
statements and the notes thereto included 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, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in
which SCI operates, 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 ("Future Factors") which are difficult to predict. Therefore,
actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or
forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Future Factors include: (i)
changes in general economic conditions in its target markets that could
adversely affect demand for SCI's properties and the creditworthiness of SCI's
customers, (ii) changes in financial markets and interest rates that could
adversely affect SCI's cost of capital and its ability to meet its financial
needs and obligations, (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for
distribution properties in SCI's target markets, and (iv) those factors
discussed below. These are representative of the Future Factors that could
affect the outcome of the forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

General

SCI's operating results depend primarily upon net operating income from
distribution properties, which is substantially influenced by (i) the demand
for and supply of distribution properties in SCI's target market cities, (ii)
the pace and economic returns at which SCI can acquire and develop additional
distribution properties, (iii) the extent to which SCI can sustain improved
market performance as measured by lease rates and occupancy and (iv) the
operating performance of SCI's unconsolidated subsidiaries (see "--Results of
Operations--Income from Unconsolidated Subsidiaries").

No assurance can be given that expected trends for the remainder of 1998 in
leasing rates and economic returns on acquired and developed properties will
be realized. There are risks associated with SCI's development and acquisition
activities which include Future Factors such as: development and acquisition
opportunities explored by SCI may be abandoned, construction costs of a
project may exceed original estimates due to increased materials, labor or
other expenses; and construction and lease-up may not be completed on
schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs.
Acquisition activities entail risks that

50


investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations and that
analysis with respect to the cost of improvements to bring an acquired project
up to standards will prove inaccurate, as well as general investment risks
associated with any new real estate investment. Although SCI undertakes a
thorough evaluation of the physical condition of each proposed investment
before it is acquired, certain defects or necessary repairs may not be
detected until after it is acquired, which could increase SCI's total
acquisition cost. Risks include the occurrence of any of the events described
above that could adversely affect SCI's ability to achieve its projected
returns on acquisitions and projects under development and could hinder SCI's
ability to make expected distributions.

SCI's target market cities and submarkets have benefited substantially in
recent periods from demographic trends (including population and job growth)
which influence the demand for distribution properties. SCI believes its
ability to compete is significantly enhanced relative to other companies
because of its depth of management and ability to serve customers through the
SCI International Operating System(TM), which includes acquisition,
development, and property management personnel, and presence in local markets.
SCI expanded its operations into Mexico and Europe in the first half of 1997
to meet the needs of its targeted national and international customers as they
expand and reconfigure their distribution facility requirements globally. With
six target market cities identified in Mexico and 20 identified in Europe, SCI
believes that there are significant growth opportunities internationally. As a
result of acquisitions and developments of distribution properties for the
twelve months of 1997, SCI's rentable square footage of operating properties
increased by 10.2 million square feet or 12.7% to 90.8 million square feet as
of December 31, 1997 from 80.6 million square feet as of December 31, 1996.

SCI frequently acquires distribution properties that are underleased, and
develops such properties, which are not fully leased at the start of
construction, which reduces SCI's overall occupancy rate below its stabilized
level but provides opportunities to increase revenues. The term "stabilized"
means that capital improvements, repositioning, new management and new
marketing programs (or development and marketing, in the case of newly
developed properties) have been completed and in effect for a sufficient
period of time (but in no case longer than 12 months for properties acquired
by SCI and 12 months after shell completion for properties developed by SCI)
to achieve stabilized occupancy (typically 93%, but ranging from 90% to 95%,
depending on the submarket and product type) at market rents. SCI has been
successful in increasing occupancies on acquired and developed properties
during their initial months of operations resulting in an occupancy rate of
95.5% and a leased rate of 96.4% for stabilized properties owned as of
December 31, 1997. The average increase in rental rates for new and renewed
leases on previously leased space (17.8 million square feet) during 1997 was
19.2%. As leases are renewed or new leases are acquired, SCI expects most
lease rates on renewals or new leases to increase in 1998. These factors
should improve SCI's results of operations. Capital and credit market
conditions which affect SCI's cost of equity and debt capital may influence
future growth in operating results.

Consummation of Merger Transaction

On September 9, 1997, SCI terminated its REIT management agreement with the
REIT Manager and its property management agreement with the Property Manager
(collectively the "Management Companies"), pursuant to the Merger whereby SCI
acquired the operations and businesses of the Management Companies valued at
approximately $81.9 million from Security Capital in exchange for 3,692,023
Common Shares. The number of Common Shares issued to Security Capital was
determined using a per Common Share price of $22.175 (the average market price
of Common Shares over the five-day period prior to the August 6, 1997 record
date for determining SCI's shareholders entitled to vote on the Merger). The
Board of Trustees approved the Merger transaction based on the recommendation
of a special committee comprised of independent Trustees. The Merger, which
required the approval of a majority of SCI'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, SCI became an internally
managed REIT and Security Capital remains SCI's largest shareholder (42.5%
ownership based on outstanding Common Shares as of December 31, 1997 and 36.8%
on a diluted basis assuming conversion of Series B Preferred Shares and
limited partnership units and the exercise of options and warrants).

51


The financial impact of the Merger is discussed in more detail below under
"--Results of Operations" and "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Impact of Year 2000

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 miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar business activities.

SCI 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. SCI has not
identified any computer system or application that, upon failure to be Year
2000 compliant, would have a material adverse impact on its business
activities or results of operations. However, the preliminary results of this
review indicate that some of SCI's accounting and financial reporting
applications are not Year 2000 compliant. For purposes of enhancing operating
efficiencies, SCI has already undertaken a project that will replace its core
financial systems with computer software that will better serve SCI in the
future. This new software, that is expected to be fully operational by the end
of 1999, is Year 2000 compliant.

SCI is currently evaluating any necessary modifications to other existing
software programs such that the programs will function properly with respect
to dates in the year 2000. 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

Net earnings attributable to Common Shares for the year ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 were $4.4 million and $53.5 million, respectively, a decrease of
$49.1 million (91.8%). This decrease resulted primarily from a one-time, non-
cash charge of approximately $75.4 million related to the costs incurred in
acquiring the businesses and operations of the Management Companies from
Security Capital. See "--Costs Incurred in Acquiring Management Companies from
a Related Party." The impact of this one-time charge, a $6.4 million foreign
exchange loss see "--Foreign Exchange Loss," increased depreciation expense,
increased preferred share dividends and higher interest expense (due to larger
debt balances) was partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in Other Real
Estate Income, $3.3 million of income from 1997 investments in unconsolidated
subsidiaries, a $7.4 million increase in gains on dispositions of real estate
and an increase in earnings from SCI's distribution properties.

Historically, the primary components of revenue and earnings growth have
been from rental and occupancy rate growth in existing properties and
acquisition and development activity. As of December 31, 1997, SCI owned 1,005
operating properties totaling 90.8 million square feet with a historical cost
of $2.7 billion. A discussion of the major components of SCI's results of
operations follows. Net earnings are expected to increase in subsequent
periods due to the acquisition and development of additional operating
properties, continued increases in the prestabilized portfolio rental and
occupancy rates and in the stabilized portfolio rental rates, and additional
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Rental Revenues

Rental revenues for 1997 increased by $57.5 million or 25.3% to $284.5
million, as compared to $227.0 million for 1996. Of this increase, $16.8
million was generated by the 110 properties acquired in 1996, $24.2

52


million was generated by the 86 development properties completed in 1996, $6.3
million was generated by the 52 properties acquired in 1997, and $8.9 million
was generated by the 65 development properties completed in 1997. The
remaining $1.3 million increase was attributable to a $5.4 million increase in
revenues from the 703 properties owned at January 1, 1996 less a $4.1 million
decrease in revenues from the 52 properties owned at January 1, 1996 that were
disposed of between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 1997. Of the properties
acquired and developed in 1997 and 1996, 11 have been disposed of as of
December 31, 1997.

Other Real Estate Income

Other real estate income increased by $7.0 million or 132% to $12.3 million
for 1997 from $5.3 million for 1996. Other real estate income consists
primarily of gains on disposition of undepreciated property and fees and other
income from the corporate distribution facilities services business, the
majority of which is generated by SCI Development Services Incorporated ("SCI
Development Services"). SCI Development Services develops corporate
distribution facilities that do not meet SCI's investment criteria for long-
term ownership and works on a fee basis for customers who want to own their
own facilities. SCI Development Services is expected to generate recurring
income in subsequent periods. Through its preferred stock ownership, SCI will
realize substantially all economic benefits of SCI Development Services'
activities. The activities of SCI Development Services are consolidated with
SCI. SCI Development Services pays federal and state taxes at the applicable
corporate rate.

Income from Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries relates to SCI's 1997 investments in
SCI Logistics Services Incorporated ("SCI Logistics"), and notes receivable
from SCI Logistics and CS Integrated LLC ("CSI") (see "--Financial Statements,
Footnote 4: Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Subsidiaries"). SCI
Logistics' primary source of income is its ownership interest in CSI. At the
time of SCI's initial investment in SCI Logistics on April 24, 1997, SCI
Logistics owned 60% of CSI. On September 1, 1997, SCI Logistics increased its
ownership interest to 71.1% of CSI through additional capital contributions in
conjunction with the acquisition of Texas Cold Storage, adding 9.7 million
cubic feet to CSI's refrigerated warehousing network. On November 4, 1997, SCI
made additional capital contributions for the purchase of Continental
Freezers, adding another 11 million cubic feet to CSI's refrigerated
warehousing network and bringing SCI Logistics' ownership interest to 77.1%.
As of December 31, 1997, CSI operated or had under development 78.6 million
cubic feet of refrigerated warehousing.

Interest Income

Interest income for 1997 increased by $1.3 million to $2.4 million, from
$1.1 million in 1996. The increase in interest income was a result of higher
interest rates and higher cash balances in interest bearing accounts.

Rental Expenses and Acquisition of Property Manager

Rental expenses, including property management fees paid to a related party,
net of recoveries from customers, increased by $300,000 or 1.1% to $27.0
million for 1997 from $26.7 million for 1996. Gross expenses, before the
deduction of amounts recovered from tenants, were approximately 26% of rental
income for both 1997 and 1996. Net rental expenses (including property
management fees paid to a related party) decreased to 9.5% of total rental
revenues compared to 11.8% for 1996.

As a result of the Merger on September 9, 1997, SCI acquired the operations
of the Property Manager, which managed approximately 96% of SCI's operating
portfolio prior to the Merger. Beginning September 9, 1997, SCI no longer pays
a property management fee on the properties managed by its Property Manager;
however, SCI has included actual personnel and other operating costs of this
property management function in rental expenses on its Statement of
Operations.


53


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $13.9 million or 35.8% to $52.7 million for
1997 from $38.8 million for 1996. Total interest capitalized increased by $2.3
million or 14.3% to $18.4 million for 1997 from $16.1 million for 1996. The
increase in interest expense was principally due to the issuance of $200
million in Senior Notes on May 17, 1996, the issuance of $100 million of
Medium-Term Notes Series A on February 4, 1997 and the issuance of $100
million of Senior Notes on July 11, 1997. See "--Liquidity and Capital
Resources." The capitalized interest increase is attributable to increased
development activity in 1997.

REIT Management Fee and Acquisition of REIT Manager

The REIT management fee paid by SCI decreased by approximately $3.7 million
to $17.8 million or 17.2% during 1997 as compared to $21.5 million in 1996 due
to the termination of the REIT management agreement upon consummation of the
Merger on September 9, 1997. Pursuant to the consummation of the Merger, SCI
acquired the REIT Manager and Property Manager and became an internally
managed REIT. Subsequent to September 8, 1997, the REIT management fee was
replaced with the actual personnel and other operating costs associated with
the REIT management function. These costs are recorded as general and
administrative expenses. Direct and incremental costs related to successful
development, acquisition and leasing activities have been capitalized in
accordance with GAAP.

Upon consummation of the Merger, SCI entered into an administrative services
agreement (the "Administrative Services Agreement") with Security Capital for
services which 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.
These services are provided in exchange for a fee equal to Security Capital's
direct cost of providing the service plus an overhead factor of 20%, subject
to a maximum of approximately $2.0 million during 1997 and $5.1 million for
1998. Administrative Services Agreement fees from the Merger date through
December 31, 1997, under this agreement aggregated $1.1 million. The
Administrative Services Agreement, which expires on December 31, 1998,
provides for automatic renewals of consecutive one-year terms, subject to
approval by a majority of the independent Trustees.

Cost Incurred in Acquiring Management Companies from a Related Party

The market value of the 3,692,023 Common Shares issued to Security Capital
on the Merger date was approximately $79.8 million, based on the $21.625 per
share closing price of the Common Shares on September 9, 1997, the date the
Merger became effective, of which approximately $4.4 million was allocated to
the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets acquired. The $75.4
million difference was accounted for as costs incurred in acquiring the
Management Companies from a related party, rather than "goodwill," since for
accounting purposes the Management Companies were not considered "businesses"
for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 16 "Business Combinations." This one-
time adjustment was recorded as an expense on SCI's Statement of Operations
but was not deducted for purposes of calculating funds from operations, due to
the non-recurring and non-cash nature of this expense.

Foreign Exchange Loss

On December 22, 1997, SCI entered into two separate contracts to (1)
exchange $373.8 million for 2.9 billion Swedish krona and (2) exchange 310.0
million German marks for $175.0 million in anticipation of the January 1998
acquisition and planned European currency denominated financing of
Frigoscandia AB; see "--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and see "--Financial
Statements, Footnote 15: Subsequent Events." The contracts were marked to
market at December 31, 1997, resulting in a net foreign exchange loss of $6.0
million due to the U.S. dollar's strength against these currencies. These
foreign exchange hedges were one-time, non recurring contracts that fixed the
exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Swedish krona and German mark
after SCI had entered into the purchase agreement to acquire Frigoscandia AB,
which required payment in Swedish krona. The contracts were executed
exclusively for the acquisition and financing of Frigoscandia AB

54


and were not entered into to hedge on-going income in foreign currencies. The
remeasurement of intercompany debt on the financial statements of SCI's
consolidated foreign subsidiaries into their functional currency resulted in a
foreign exchange loss of $348,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
loss was associated with the remeasurement of intercompany loans between a
wholly owned foreign subsidiary of SCI and its associated foreign
subsidiaries.

Other Expense

Other expense increased by $1.0 million or 34.5% to $3.9 million for 1997
from $2.9 million for 1996. Other expenses consist of land holding costs and
acquisition and corporate distribution facilities services pursuit cost write-
offs. Land holding costs were $2.3 million for 1997 compared to $1.5 million
for 1996, and acquisition and corporate distribution facilities services
pursuit cost write-offs were $1.6 million for 1997 compared to $1.4 million in
1996. The increase is primarily the result of increased acreage and value in
land holdings.

Preferred Share Dividends

In June 1995, SCI issued $135 million of Series A Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares ("Series A Preferred Shares") that have an annual dividend of
$2.35 per share (equivalent to an annual dividend rate of 9.4% of the
liquidation preference), which totaled $12.7 million annually for 1997 and
1996. In February 1996, SCI issued $201.3 million of Series B Cumulative
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares") that
have an annual dividend of $1.75 per share (equivalent to an annual dividend
rate of 7% of the liquidation preference) which totaled $14.1 million for 1997
compared to $12.1 million for the period from the February issue date through
December 31, 1996. In November 1996, SCI issued $100 million of Series C
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series C Preferred Shares") that have
an annual dividend of $4.27 per share (equivalent to an annual dividend rate
of 8.54% of the liquidation preference) which totaled $8.5 million for 1997
and $1.1 million from the November issue date to December 31, 1996.

1996 COMPARED TO 1995

Net earnings attributable to Common Shares increased by $11.5 million or
27.4% to $53.5 million in 1996 from $42.0 million in 1995. The increase in net
earnings was principally due to the increase in the number of distribution
properties in operation, resulting from 1996 and 1995 acquisition and
development activity. Historically, the primary components of revenue and
earnings growth have been SCI's acquisition and development activity. SCI
acquired and developed 942 operating properties totalling 80.6 million square
feet from its inception through December 31, 1996 at a historical cost of $2.3
billion. As a result of 1996 acquisition and development activity, SCI's
rentable square footage increased by 22.1 million square feet or 37.8% to 80.6
million square feet as of December 31, 1996 from 58.5 million square feet as
of December 31, 1995.

Rental Revenues

Rental revenues for 1996 increased by $73.1 million or 47.5% to $227.0
million, as compared to $153.9 million for 1995. Of this increase, $27.8
million was generated by the 181 properties acquired in 1995, $11.5 million
was generated by the 49 developments completed in 1995, $18.6 million was
generated by the 111 properties acquired in 1996, and $12.9 million was
generated by the 86 developments completed in 1996. The remaining $2.3 million
increase was attributable to revenue increases in the 526 properties owned at
January 1, 1995. The revenue increase in properties owned at January 1, 1995
was due to an increase in their average occupancy level from 94.33% for 1995
to 95.69% for 1996 and increased rental rates on leases signed on previously
occupied space.

Other Real Estate Income

Other real estate income consists primarily of gains on disposition of
undepreciated property and fees and other income from corporate distribution
facilities customers generated to a large extent by SCI Development Services.
SCI Development Services develops corporate distribution facilities or works
on a fee basis for

55


customers whose space needs do not meet SCI's strict investment criteria for
long-term ownership. Through its preferred stock ownership, SCI will realize
substantially all economic benefits of SCI Development Services' activities.
The activities of SCI Development Services are consolidated with SCI. SCI
Development Services pays federal and state taxes at the applicable corporate
rate.

Interest Income

Interest income for 1996 decreased $604,000 from 1995, primarily resulting
from the investment of lower average balances of cash and cash equivalents in
interest bearing accounts in 1996 as compared to 1995.

Rental Expenses

Rental expenses, net of recoveries, increased by $8.2 million or 44.3% to
$26.7 million in 1996 from $18.5 million in 1995. The increase in rental
expenses was primarily attributable to 1995 and 1996 acquisitions and
developments, which increased SCI's rentable square footage by 19.4 million
square feet in 1995 and 22.1 million square feet in 1996, to 80.6 million
square feet as of December 31, 1996 from 39.1 million square feet as of
December 31, 1994.

Interest Expenses

Interest expense increased by $6.8 million or 21.3% to $38.8 million in 1996
from $32.0 million in 1995. Total interest capitalized increased by $7.5
million or 87.2% to $16.1 million in 1996 from $8.6 million in 1995. The
increase in interest expense was principally caused by the issuance of $325
million in Senior Notes during 1995 and the issuance of $200 million in
additional Senior Notes in May 1996 (see "--Liquidity and Capital Resources").
The capitalized interest increase was attributable to increased development
activity in 1996.

REIT Management Fee

The REIT management fee paid by SCI was based on SCI's cash flow before the
REIT management fee and therefore increased in 1996 to $21.5 million from
$14.2 million in 1995 because cash flow increased substantially. See "--
Overview--Consummation of Merger Transaction."

Other Expense

Other expense increased by $0.7 million or 31.8% to $2.9 million in 1996
from $2.2 million in 1995. Other expenses consist of land holding costs and
acquisition and corporate distribution facilities services pursuit cost write-
offs. Land holding costs were $1.5 million in 1996 compared to $1.1 million in
1995, and acquisition and corporate distribution facilities services pursuit
cost write-offs were $1.4 million in 1996 compared to $1.1 million in 1995.
The increase is principally the result of the increased acreage and value in
land holdings and an increase in the amount of build-to-suit activity.

Preferred Share Dividends

In June 1995, SCI issued $135.0 million of Series A Preferred Shares that
are entitled to receive an annual dividend of $2.35 per share (equivalent to
an annual dividend rate of 9.4% of the liquidation preference), which amounted
to $12.7 million in 1996 compared to $6.7 million for the period from the June
1995 issue date through December 31, 1995. In February 1996, SCI issued $201.3
million of Series B Preferred Shares that are entitled to receive an annual
dividend of $1.75 per share (equivalent to an annual dividend rate of 7% of
the liquidation preference), which amounted to $12.1 million for the period
from the February 1996 issue date through December 31, 1996. On November 13,
1996, SCI issued $100.0 million of Series C Preferred Shares that are entitled
to receive an annual dividend of $4.27 per share (equivalent to an annual
dividend rate of 8.54% of the liquidation preference) which amounted to $1.1
million for the period from the November 1996 issue date to December 31, 1996.

56


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

SCI did not experience any environmental condition on its properties which
materially adversely affected its results of operations or financial position.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $56.1 million or 41.2%
from $136.2 million in 1996 to $192.3 million in 1997, primarily as a result
of increased properties in operation. Cash used in investing activities
decreased from $665.9 million in 1996 to $570.9 million in 1997. Cash provided
by financing activities decreased to $398.8 million in 1997 compared to $512.2
million in 1996. Cash provided by financing activities for 1997 consisted
primarily of $199.8 million of proceeds from the long-term debt offerings in
February and July 1997 and $405.0 million of net proceeds from SCI's offerings
of Common Shares in February, September and December of 1997, less $38.6
million net repayment of the line of credit. Cash provided by financing
activities for 1996 consisted primarily of $199.6 million of proceeds from the
May 1996 long-term debt offering, $289.4 million of net proceeds from the sale
of the Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares and $210.8
million of net proceeds from SCI's rights offering of Common Shares, less
$42.4 million net repayment of the line of credit. Additionally, distributions
paid to common and preferred shareholders and to minority interests were
$147.5 million in 1997 compared to $116.5 million in 1996, and mortgage
payments were $19.7 million in 1997 compared to $23.4 million in 1996.

On March 12, 1998, SCI commenced an underwritten public offering of
3,750,000 Common Shares with net proceeds to SCI of $24.045 per share. The
offering provides for a 30-day over-allotment option of up to 562,500 Common
Shares. Net proceeds to SCI would be $90.2 million or up to $103.7 million if
the over-allotment option is exercised in full. The offering is expected to
close on March 18, 1998.

SCI is contemplating making an offering (the "Contemplated Preferred Share
Offering") of approximately $125 million of preferred shares having terms
substantially similar to SCI's Series C Preferred Shares. There can be no
assurances, however, that the Contemplated Preferred Share Offering will be
consummated on these terms.

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, a $2.0 million fee for their services in
connection with the offering.

On September 8, 1997, SCI's shareholders approved a long-term incentive
plan. Approximately 9.4 million Common Shares have been reserved for issuance
under this plan. On September 8, 1997, SCI granted options (that have five- or
nine-year vesting schedules) to purchase 3,068,152 Common Shares at $21.21875
per share (the average of the high and low market price on September 8, 1997)
to officers and certain employees of SCI. See "--Financial Statements,
Footnote 7: Shareholders Equity." Also under the long-term incentive plan,
certain officers and employees of SCI purchased 1,356,834 Common Shares at a
price of $21.21875 per share and SCI financed 95% of the total purchase price
through ten-year, recourse loans to the participants aggregating $27.3
million.

On August 6, 1997, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, SCI
issued 3,692,023 Common Shares to Security Capital and commenced a rights
offering to sell 4,970,352 Common Shares at $21 per share. On September 9,
1997, SCI offered 994,070 additional 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 July 11, 1997, SCI issued $100 million of Senior Notes due 2017 (the
"July 1997 Notes"). The July 1997 Notes bear interest at 7.625% per annum
payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The principal will
mature on July 1, 2017. The average effective interest cost is 7.73%,
including all costs associated with the offering plus $235,759 of combined
proceeds from the termination of a forward treasury lock agreement and a swap
agreement entered into in November 1996 in anticipation of the July debt
offering. The forward treasury lock agreement was on a notional amount of $26
million of U.S. Treasury bonds maturing August 15,

57


2026 with a base price of 103.453% and effectively fixed the 30-year Treasury
bond used to price the July 1997 Notes at a rate of 6.56%. The termination of
the forward treasury lock resulted in a gain of $174,319. The swap agreement
had a notional amount of $33.0 million and required SCI to pay a fixed rate of
6.61% on the notional amount in exchange for a floating rate equal to the
three-month LIBOR rate. The termination of the swap on July 8, 1997 resulted
in a gain of $61,440.

On February 7, 1997, SCI completed a public offering of 4,025,000 Common
Shares. Net proceeds to SCI after underwriting discounts and offering costs
were $80.4 million.

On February 4, 1997, SCI issued $100.0 million of Series A 2015 Notes under
its $200 million Medium-Term Note program (the "Medium-Term Note program").
The Series A 2015 Notes will bear interest at 7.81%, payable semi-annually on
February 1 and August 1. Installments of principal will be paid annually on
each February 1, commencing February 1, 2010, in the following amounts: $20
million in 2010, $15 million 2011, $15 million in 2012, $20 million in 2013,
$20 million in 2014 and $10 million in 2015. The Series A 2015 Notes have a
weighted average life to maturity of 15.35 years. The average effective
interest cost is 7.73%, including all costs associated with the offering plus
$1.7 million in proceeds received on January 31, 1997 in connection with two
interest rate protection agreements entered into in August 1996 and November
1996 in anticipation of the debt offering. Both the August 1996 and the
November 1996 interest rate protection agreements were in the form of a
forward treasury lock agreement with an investment bank. The August agreement
included a notional principal amount of $30.0 million and a reference price of
99.653 on the thirty year Treasury Bond. The November agreement included a
notional principal amount of $50.0 million and a reference price of 101 29/32
on the ten-year Treasury Note. The settlement date on both contracts was
January 31, 1997.

In November 1996, SCI established the Medium-Term Note program. Under such
program, SCI may offer up to $200.0 million in Medium-Term Notes, Series A,
due nine months or more from the date of issue. Each note will bear interest
at a fixed rate or at a variable rate determined by reference to an interest
rate formula and will be issued either as an amortizing note or as an original
issue discount note. As of March 12, 1998, $100.0 million remains available to
be issued under this program.

On November 13, 1996, SCI issued 2,000,000 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 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 only limited voting
rights under certain conditions. Holders of the Series C Preferred Shares are
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Trustees, 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), payable quarterly in arrears on the last day
of March, June, September and December of each year. 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. The Series C Preferred Shares rank on a parity with the
Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B Preferred Shares with respect to
payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation. In anticipation of the
Series C Preferred Share offering, an interest rate swap agreement was entered
into on October 31, 1996 with a termination date of November 11, 1996. The
notional principal amount was $90.0 million with a fixed rate of 6.707%
payable by SCI in exchange for a floating rate equal to the bid yield-to-
maturity on the 6% U.S. Treasury Bond due February 15, 2026. SCI paid $224,721
to terminate the swap agreement on November 11, 1996.

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 to SCI's rights offering of August 21, 1996 that were not
accepted in whole or in part due to demand in excess of

58


the Common Shares offered. All of the Common Shares were subscribed for as of
September 30, 1996 and subscriptions receivable for gross proceeds of $35.1
million recorded. In October 1996, all of such Common Shares were issued and
all subscriptions receivable were collected.

On May 17, 1996, SCI issued $50 million of Senior Notes due 2002 (the "2002
Notes"), $100 million of Senior Notes due 2008 (the "2008 Notes"), and $50
million of Senior Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes"), and together with the
2002 Notes and the 2008 Notes, (the "May 1996 Notes"). The 2002 Notes bear
interest at 7.25% per annum and require annual principal payments of $12.5
million, commencing May 15, 1999. The 2008 Notes bear interest at 7.95% per
annum and require annual principal payments of $25 million, commencing May 15,
2005. The 2016 Notes bear interest at 8.65% per annum and require aggregate
annual principal payments of $5 million, commencing 2010 through 2013, $7.5
million in 2014, $10 million in 2015, and $12.5 million in 2016. In order to
lock in interest rates for the 2016 Notes prior to pricing of such Notes, SCI
entered into an interest rate protection agreement in the form of a forward
treasury lock agreement with an investment bank on May 9, 1996. The agreement
included a determination date of May 15, 1996 and a settlement date of May 16,
1996. The notional amount was $50 million with a reference price of 97.203. On
the pricing date of May 14, 1996, the forward treasury lock agreement was
unwound at a price of 99.375 and SCI paid $1.086 million in settlement. The
lower interest rate obtained on the pricing date of May 14, 1996 plus the
$1.086 million settlement payment resulted in SCI achieving the equivalent of
the rate that was locked in on May 9, 1996 for the 2016 Notes. In order to
hedge a portion of the 2008 Notes prior to pricing such Notes, SCI entered
into an interest rate swap agreement with an investment bank on May 9, 1996.
The agreement included an effective date of May 15, 1996 and termination date
of May 15, 2006. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement was
$50 million. On May 14, 1996, the interest rate swap agreement was terminated
and SCI paid $837,000 in settlement. The lower interest rate obtained on the
pricing date of May 14, 1996 plus the $837,000 settlement resulted in SCI
achieving an interest rate which approximated market interest rates on May 9,
1996 for a portion of the 2008 Notes. Collectively, the May 1996 Notes
originally had an average life to maturity of 10.8 years and an average
effective interest cost, inclusive of offering discounts, issuance costs and
the interest rate protection agreements of 8.41% per annum.

On February 21, 1996 and February 26, 1996, SCI issued a total of 8,050,000
Series B Preferred Shares. The Series B Preferred Shares have a liquidation
preference of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference of
$201.3 million plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Series B
Preferred Shares are entitled only 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 Common Share (equivalent to a conversion
rate of 1.282 Common Shares for each Series B Preferred Share), subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. As of March 12, 1998, 7,981,700 Series B
Preferred Shares remain outstanding. 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
distributions on the Common Shares, or portion thereof, into which a Series B
Preferred Share is convertible. Such distributions will equal the number of
Common Shares, or portion thereof, into which a Series B Preferred Share is
convertible. 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 B Preferred Shares are redeemable at the
option of SCI on or after February 21, 2001. The Series B Preferred Shares
rank on parity with the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred
Shares with respect to payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation.

As of December 31, 1997, SCI had outstanding Notes with a face value of
$725.0 million, which include the July 1997 Notes, the Series A 2015 Notes and
the May 1996 Notes (the "Notes") and which are redeemable at any time at the
option of SCI, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of
the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon
to the redemption date plus an adjustment, if any, based on the yield to
maturity relative to market yields available at redemption. Such Notes are
governed by the terms and provisions of an indenture agreement (the
"Indenture") between SCI and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee.
Under the terms of the Indenture, SCI can incur additional debt only if, after

59


giving effect to the debt being incurred and application of proceeds
therefrom, (i) the ratio of debt to total assets, as defined in the Indenture,
does not exceed 60%, (ii) the ratio of secured debt to total assets, as
defined in the Indenture, does not exceed 40% and (iii) SCI's pro forma
interest coverage ratio, as defined in the Indenture, for the four preceding
fiscal quarters is not less than 1.5 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. As of December 31, 1997, SCI was in compliance with all such debt
covenants.

SCI has a $350.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with
NationsBank of Texas, N.A. (as agent for a bank group). Borrowings bear
interest at SCI's option, at either an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a)
the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the prime rate, or (b)
LIBOR plus .95%, based upon SCI's current senior debt ratings. 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 1999 and may be
extended for an additional year with the approval of NationsBank and the other
participating lenders; if not extended, at SCI's election, 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 (as
defined) of not less than 1.75 to 1. As of December 31, 1997, SCI was in
compliance with all covenants contained in the line of credit. Additionally,
SCI has a $25.0 million short-term unsecured borrowing agreement with
NationsBank through October 1998. The interest rate and the maturity date of
each advance on such agreement are determined by agreement between SCI and
NationsBank of the time of each advance. As of March 12, 1998, $275.0 million
of short-term borrowings were outstanding on these credit facilities.

SCI utilizes derivative instruments in anticipation of future financing
transactions in order to manage well defined interest rate risk. Through
hedging, SCI can effectively manage the risk of increases in interest rates on
future debt issuances. 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.

SCI intends to also utilize derivative instruments in order to manage
currency risk exposure associated with foreign currency denominated purchase
contracts and income in excess of interest expense. As described below, SCI
had two open foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 1997, related to
the January 1998 acquisition of Frigoscandia AB. In future periods SCI will
consider using selective currency hedges through foreign exchange forwards or
options in order to minimize on-going currency gains and losses.

On January 16, 1998, an unconsolidated subsidiary of SCI acquired
Frigoscandia AB, which SCI believes is Europe's largest refrigerated
warehousing company, for a net cost of $395.0 million. The acquisition of
Frigoscandia AB was financed primarily with a short-term $200.0 million bridge
loan from NationsBank, due on March 31, 1998, 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%. Accrued interest is due and payable as it accrues on the last
day of each month, commencing on January 31, 1998. SCI anticipates repaying
the $200.0 million bridge loan when Frigoscandia AB arranges financing (which
is currently being documented) and repays SCI a $200.0 million short-term loan
made by SCI on January 16, 1998.

On December 22, 1997, SCI entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to
fix the purchase price of the Frigoscandia AB acquisition (U.S. dollar versus
Swedish krona) and to hedge the cost of the planned European currency
denominated financing of the acquisition (German mark versus U.S. dollar). To
fix the purchase price of Frigoscandia AB which was denominated in Swedish
krona, SCI agreed to purchase 2.9 billion

60


krona against the U.S. dollar at 7.7583 on January 15, 1998. The price of the
krona was at 8.015 on the January 15, 1998 settlement date, resulting in a
total loss of $12.0 million, of which $7.9 million was recognized in the
financial statements as of December 31, 1997. The net effect of the hedge is
that SCI fixed its purchase price in dollars as of December 22, 1997. If the
hedge had not been entered into, SCI would have paid $12.0 million less due to
the dollar appreciating against the Swedish krona. To hedge the cost of the
Frigoscandia AB financing to be denominated in German marks, SCI agreed to
sell 310.0 million German marks against the U.S. dollar at 1.7715 on March 16,
1998. This contract, which will be settled in March 1998, was marked to market
as of December 31, 1997 for a foreign exchange gain of $1.9 million (see "--
Financial Statements, Footnote 13: Fair Value of Financial Instruments").

From inception through December 31, 1997, SCI invested $2.7 billion for the
acquisition and development of 1,005 operating distribution properties and had
invested $85.6 million in refrigerated warehousing through its subsidiary, SCI
Logistics. These acquisitions and developments were financed with cash on
hand, the issuance of limited partnership units, the assumption of existing
mortgage debt and borrowings under SCI's line of credit which were repaid with
the proceeds of SCI's equity and debt offerings.

At December 31, 1997, SCI had $326.7 million of budgeted development cost
for developments in process, of which $146.4 million was unfunded. SCI expects
to finance construction, development and acquisitions primarily with cash on
hand, borrowings under its line of credit, and cash from future securities
offerings. When issuing debt, SCI intends primarily to arrange, fixed rate,
10-year to 30-year debt to finance additional acquisitions and developments.
To a lesser extent, under certain circumstances, SCI may arrange for debt with
different maturities in order to optimize its debt maturity schedule.

SCI considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from operations and
financings to be adequate and expects it to continue to be adequate to meet
SCI's acquisition, development, operating, debt service and shareholder
distribution requirements.

SCI's current distribution policy is to pay quarterly distributions to
shareholders based upon what the Board and management consider to be a
reasonable percentage of cash flow. Because depreciation is a non-cash
expense, cash flow typically will be greater than earnings from operations and
net earnings. Therefore, quarterly distributions will consistently be higher
than quarterly earnings.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Series B
Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred Shares (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. The Preferred Share dividends do not
reduce the amount SCI has budgeted for Common Share distributions, but could
increase the percentage of the Common Share distribution that constitutes a
non-taxable return of capital.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $192.3 million for 1997,
compared to $136.2 million for 1996, and $100.2 million for 1995. The primary
differences between the periods relate to new property acquisitions and
development completions as described under "--Results of Operations." SCI's
investment activities used approximately $570.9 million, $665.9 million and
$628.8 million of cash in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. After deducting
distributions to shareholders, SCI's financing activities provided net cash
flow of $398.8 million, $512.2 million and $529.6 million for 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from operations attributable to Common Shares increased $44.2 million
or 37.8% to $161.1 million in 1997 from $116.9 million in 1996. Funds from
operations represents SCI's net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP)
before minority interest and before gains/losses on disposition of depreciated
property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, significant non-
recurring items and significant non-cash items. SCI believes that funds from
operations is helpful to a reader as a measure of the performance of an equity
REIT

61


because, along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities
and investing activities, it provides a reader with an indication of the
ability of SCI to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to
fund other cash needs. On January 1, 1995, SCI adopted the NAREIT revised
definition of funds from operations. Under this more conservative definition,
loan cost amortization is not added back to net earnings in determining funds
from operations. The funds from operations measure presented by SCI, while
consistent with the NAREIT definition, will not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other REITs which do not compute funds from operations in a
manner consistent with SCI. Funds from operations are not intended to
represent cash made available to shareholders. Cash distributions paid to
shareholders is presented above in "Item 6. Selected Financial Data--Operating
Data." Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net
earnings or any other GAAP measurement of performance as an indicator of SCI's
operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating,
investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

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:



Tenant improvements................. 10 years
Acquired buildings.................. 30 years
Developed buildings................. 40 years


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

F-7


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.


F-8


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.


F-9


SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

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:

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.

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

F-17


SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST

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
purchased 3,734,240 Common Shares in connection with the September rights
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

F-18


SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST

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
million). The additional Common Shares were issued on October 3, 1995.
Security Capital purchased 6,504,148 Common Shares in this offering (40% of
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
for an aggregate liquidation preference of $135.0 million plus any accrued and
unpaid dividends. The net proceeds (after underwriting commission and other
offering costs) of the Series A Preferred Shares issued were $130.4 million.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled only to limited voting
rights under certain conditions. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will
be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds
legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential
cash distributions at the rate of 9.4% of the liquidation preference per annum
(equivalent to $2.35 per share). Such distributions are cumulative from the
date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of
March, June, September, and December of each year. The Series A Preferred
Shares are redeemable at the option of SCI on or after June 21, 2000. The
redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and
unpaid distributions) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other
capital shares of SCI, which may include shares of other series of preferred
shares.

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.


F-19


SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST

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:



Net earnings attributable to
Common Shares (in thousands): As reported $4,431
======
Pro forma $4,016
======
Basic net earnings per share
attributable to Common Shares: As reported $ 0.04
======
Pro forma $ 0.04
======
Diluted net earnings per share
attributable to Common Shares: As reported $ 0.04
======
Pro forma $ 0.04
======


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:



Risk-free interest rate..................................... 6.35%
Forecasted dividend yield................................... 7.36%
Volatility.................................................. 19.20%
Weighted average option life................................ 6.75 years


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.

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)

F-21


SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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:

through September 8, 1997 (Note 11).

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.


F-27


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.

The following table summarizes the activity in interest rate and foreign
currency contracts for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in
millions):

(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.
