Via Facsimile and U.S. Mail Mail Stop 6010 July 21, 2005 Mr. William R. Schlueter Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Security Capital Corporation Eight Greenwich Office Park Greenwich, CT 06831 Re:	Security Capital Corporation 	Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004 	Filed June 28, 2005 	File No. 001-07921 Dear Mr. Schlueter: We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have addressed in our comments. In our comments, we ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments. 	Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 4. Significant Accounting Policies Assignment Development Costs, page 39 1. We note from your disclosure that you are capitalizing assignment development costs that you have incurred on behalf of a franchisee and recognizing the expense only at the point in time that a franchisee purchases the property (i.e. when you also recognize revenue). Please tell us how your accounting policy for capitalizing these costs and recording revenue complies with US GAAP. In your response, cite the specific authoritative guidance used and, for the costs capitalized, describe more specifically the types of costs including whether or not they are incurred to independent third parties. 2. In addition it is unclear why you would record an allowance for uncollectible development costs. It would seem that you should record a receivable related to the reimbursement of the costs incurred from the franchisee as that is where the credit risk resides. Please explain to us why you have not recorded a franchisee receivable related to the reimbursement of expenses. Note 6. Goodwill and Identified Intangible Assets, page 43 3. We note an increase in the goodwill balance due to a purchase price adjustment of $364 thousand related to the 2002 acquisition of Barron Risk Management Services. Please tell us how recording this adjustment to goodwill complies with paragraphs 40-41 of SFAS 141. * * * * Please provide us the information requested within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please furnish a cover letter with your supplemental responses that keys your responses to our comments. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please file your letter on EDGAR under the form type label CORRSEP. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your responses to our comments.
