                             LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
Dear Security Capital Stockholder:
     We are pleased to report that by every measure, 1993 was an extremely
successful year for Security Capital Bancorp. Security Capital achieved record
earnings in 1993, with total assets, deposits and capital also reaching all-time
highs. Asset quality improved from an already enviable level. Cash dividends,
along with our stock price, also established new record levels. All of this was
accomplished during a year in which management continued to focus on
consolidating the activities of our existing companies while pursuing potential
acquisition opportunities.
     These outstanding results did not go unnoticed as Security Capital received
favorable ratings and rankings throughout the year. To highlight a few, the
December 7, 1993, issue of FINANCIAL WORLD carried an article ranking 213
publicly traded commercial banks with assets of $750 million or more. Based on
adjusted equity, nonperforming assets to asset ratios, overhead ratio and
economic value, Security Capital ranked third. On January 24, 1994, the
CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, in a feature article in its Business Monday section,
compared the return on assets and 1993 stock price performance of the ten
largest North Carolina bank holding companies. Security Capital ranked number
one in both categories.
     While Security Capital faced many challenges during 1993, our success in
meeting these challenges has been accomplished with the unyielding dedication of
our employees and the wise counsel of our Board of Directors. However, none of
this would have been possible without the continual support of our loyal
customers and stockholders. Thank you for the trust you have placed in Security
Capital.
1993 RESULTS
     EARNINGS  Net earnings for 1993 were $14,839,000, or $1.26 per share, an
increase of 48.97% over 1992 earnings of $9,961,000, or $.84 per share. While
1992 earnings were significantly impacted by one time Merger-related expenses
and non-recurring restructuring charges, the 1993 results reflect an increase of
approximately 13.0% over the prior year earnings, exclusive of the 1992
Merger-related special charges and provisions.
     PERFORMANCE RATIOS  Using one of the most widely accepted measurements of
earning power, return on average assets, Security Capital ranks among the
leaders of the industry with a 1.62% return. Our return on average equity was
12.26%, a very respectable return, especially in light of the high level of
capitalization at Security Capital. Stockholders' equity was $124,220,000 at
year end, an impressive 13.37% of assets. This allows Security Capital extreme
flexibility when evaluating potential opportunities to expand the overall
franchise. Each of our banking subsidiaries far exceeds all regulatory capital
requirements.
     BALANCE SHEET  Total assets at year-end 1993 were $928,935,000, an increase
of $15,224,000 over year-end 1992. Total loans declined $21,400,000 to
$484,384,000 at December 31, 1993. This decline relates primarily to our sale of
fixed rate mortgage loan originations in the secondary market and continued weak
loan demand. Total deposits increased $10,821,000 to $784,456,000 at year-end.
This increase was hampered by customers continuing to seek higher yields in the
low rate environment of 1993 through alternative investments.
     ASSET QUALITY AND RESERVES  Total nonperforming assets at December 31,
1993, were $3.1 million, or 0.34% of total assets. This remains extremely low
when compared to industry figures. Our loan loss reserve at December 31, 1993,
was $7.2 million, or 230.86% of nonperforming assets. Net loan charge-offs for
the year amounted to $335,000, or 0.07%, of average loans, lower by $33,000 from
the previous year. Management is proud of the high quality of assets at Security
Capital and believes our low level of nonperforming assets coupled with our loan
loss reserve continues to provide our banks with excellent safety.
     STOCK PERFORMANCE AND CASH DIVIDENDS  Security Capital's stock performed
well during 1993 and reached a new high of $14.75. We continued to receive
favorable coverage and recommendations by many investment professionals.
Reflecting our belief that stockholders should be able to participate directly
in Security Capital's success, the Board of Directors increased the cash
dividends to $.39 per share during 1993 from $.31 per share in 1992. Also, on
January 27, 1994, the Board of Directors continued this trend by increasing the
quarterly cash dividend to $.11 per share.
ACHIEVEMENTS
     CONSOLIDATION AND DATA PROCESSING CONVERSION
Consolidation plans remained on track in 1993. In May 1993, Security Capital
consolidated eight branch locations into four facilities. These superbranches
are a new concept in North Carolina since the four remaining branches actually
provide retail operations for two companies in each location. This reduction in
facilities resulted in lower expenses for the second half of 1993 and these
savings should continue in future periods. Also, we met our goal of converting
Security Bank and Trust Company to a new in-house data processing system in
January 1994. This new system will provide state-of-the-art capabilities and
offer many enhancements not available on the previous system. The other banking
companies are scheduled to

convert to this new system during 1994, with all companies operating on the same
system before year-end. The conversion to the new system should result in higher
efficiencies and productivity gains in 1994 and future years.
     PENDING ACQUISITION AND BRANCH SWAP  On December 15, 1993, Security Capital
announced that it and Fairfield Communities, Inc. (FCI), had executed a letter
of intent concerning Security Capital's acquisition of First Federal Savings and
Loan Association (First Federal) of Charlotte, North Carolina, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FCI. First Federal operates ten banking offices and had total
assets of approximately $333 million at December 31, 1993. Under the letter of
intent, the consummation of the proposed acquisition is subject to numerous
conditions, including completion by Security Capital to its satisfaction of a
due diligence investigation of First Federal. Assuming a definitive agreement is
reached and all conditions are satisfied, the parties expect the acquisition
will be consummated during the second quarter of 1994.
     Also, on January 25, 1994, Security Capital announced that it and First
Citizens Bank and Trust Co. had entered into an agreement involving the sale of
First Citizens' Bessemer City office to Home Savings Bank and the sale of Home
Savings' Gastonia office to First Citizens. With the transaction, Home Savings
will assume approximately $4.6 million in deposits in Bessemer City from First
Citizens and First Citizens will assume approximately $11.4 million in deposits
in Gastonia from Home Savings. Subject to regulatory approvals, the purchases
are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1994.
     We are excited about these transactions and will continue examining all
opportunities for expansion with our objective being the enhancement of our
franchise value by building market share while maintaining strict controls over
operations and credit quality.
SUMMARY
     Our earnings for 1993 continued our trend of consistent profitability and
was our best earnings performance ever. We look forward to the possible
completion of the acquisition of First Federal and its potentially positive
impact in 1994 and beyond.
     While the economy is giving signs of improvement, there are still many
uncertainties in the economic and regulatory environment in which we operate. Be
assured that we have planned well and are capable and ready to meet the
challenges of the future. The experience, competence, dedication, and loyalty of
our officers and staff will enable us to capitalize on opportunities and
continue to be one of the best companies in our industry in the years ahead. We
are proud of the accomplishments over the past year and look forward to sharing
in even greater success with you in the future.

BUSINESS OF SECURITY CAPITAL BANCORP
     Security Capital Bancorp (Security Capital) is a North Carolina corporation

with borrowings and other funds, to originate various types of loans, including
residential loans, installment loans, commercial loans, commercial real estate
loans and credit card loans. Security Capital also has two other wholly owned
subsidiaries, First Cabarrus Corporation and Estates Development Corporation.

     The Board of Directors of Security Capital declared and paid a quarterly
cash dividend on each share of common stock amounting to $.39 and $.31 per share
for the years ending December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Due to the
restatement of financial information, as discussed in note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, the dividend per share for the year ended
December 31, 1992, has been computed by dividing dividends paid by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding as adjusted retroactively for stock splits
and stock dividends. The ability of Security Capital to pay dividends is subject
to certain regulatory restrictions.
 

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992
NET INCOME
     Security Capital and its subsidiaries (collectively herein, Security
Capital) earned $14,839,000, or $1.26 per share, for the year ended December 31,
1993, an increase of 49.0% from 1992 net income of $9,961,000, or $.84 per
share. This increase is primarily attributable to the one-time Merger-related
expenses and restructuring charges recognized by First Security Financial
Corporation and Omni Capital Group, Inc., in connection with the Merger. These
charges amounted to $4.1 million consisting of approximately $600,000 of
Merger-related expenses and $3.5 million of nonrecurring restructuring charges.
The nonrecurring restructuring charges included $1.5 million provided to
increase the thrift component of Security Capital's overall allowance for loan
losses in keeping with the policies and practices of conservatively managed
community bank holding companies. The remaining $2.0 million was composed of
accrued outplacement, benefit, professional, printing, and other Merger-related
costs. Also, in accordance with current accounting requirements, Security
Capital adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes (Statement 109) effective January 1, 1993. Adoption of
Statement 109 resulted in a net benefit to Security Capital of approximately
$388,000 in 1993. Security Capital's return on average assets increased to 1.62%
in 1993 from 1.09% in 1992. Return on average equity increased to 12.26% in 1993
from 8.81% in 1992.
NET INTEREST INCOME
     Net interest income decreased $636,000 (1.7%) to $36,088,000. Total
interest income decreased $7,630,000, or 10.6%, in 1993. The average yield on
interest-earning assets fell 85 basis points to 7.39%, while the average volume
was lower by $2.4 million. Total interest expense decreased $6,994,000, or
19.9%, in 1993. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities fell 92 basis
points to 3.90%, while the average volume was lower by $7.5 million.
     Also impacting the decrease in interest income was a decrease in Security
Capital's most significant interest-earning asset, loans receivable. Total loans
decreased $37,227,000 (7.3%) to $473.2 million at December 31, 1993. This
decrease was primarily the result of the continuation of the selling of current
production of fixed rate mortgage loans through Security Capital's secondary
marketing program. While investment securities increased $29,749,000 (8.8%) to
$368.4 million at December 31, 1993, the yields on new investments were
significantly less than the yields on maturing investments and existing
portfolio mortgage loans refinanced at lower fixed rates in 1993, thus
negatively impacting interest income. The net yield on interest-earning assets
decreased 6 basis points to 4.15%. In future periods, Security Capital could
experience a reduction in interest income should prepayments continue and
mortgage loans continue to price downward.
LOAN ORIGINATION AND SALE ACTIVITY
     Proceeds from the sales of loans were approximately $85.7 million in 1993
compared to approximately $85.1 million in 1992, resulting in gains of
$1,384,000 and $738,000, respectively. As noted above, Security Capital has
continued to sell its current production of fixed rate mortgage loans during
1993. Security Capital retained the servicing rights on all fixed rate mortgage
loans sold during 1993. These servicing rights represent a continuing source of
future fee income. Fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 1993,
amounted to $18,409,000. Proceeds from the sales of loans, along with loan
repayments, were used to fund loan originations, which increased $14.2 million
(5.8%) to approximately $259.2 million in 1993, and to increase the investment
portfolio, which increased $29.7 million (8.8%) in 1993.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
     The provision for loan losses was $653,000 for 1993 compared to $1,848,000
for 1992. As noted above, the 1992 provision includes $1.5 million recognized in
connection with the Merger. Charge-offs decreased 28.5% in 1993 to $732,000
while recoveries decreased 39.5% to $397,000. This resulted in the allowance for
loan losses increasing $318,000 (4.6%) to $7,227,000 at December 31, 1993, from
$6,909,000 at December 31, 1992. The allowance for loan losses at December 31,
1993, represents 1.53% of period-end loans and 2.31 times non-performing assets.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. In addition,
in the opinion of management, asset quality remains high, with total
non-performing assets totaling $3.1 million, one-third of one percent (0.34%) of
total assets at December 31, 1993. This was an improvement over the December 31,
1992, total non-performing assets of $5.4 million, or six tenths of one percent
(0.59%) of total assets. Security Capital does not have any material loans
outstanding classified for regulatory purposes as doubtful or loss.
Additionally, its loan portfolio does not contain any highly leveraged
transactions or foreign loans.
 

OTHER INCOME
     Other income increased $1,571,000 (17.6%) to $10,519,000 in 1993. As noted
above, net gain on sales of loans increased $646,000 (87.5%) to $1,384,000 in
1993 from $738,000 in 1992. Brokerage commissions increased $411,000 to
$1,404,000 in 1993. This increase is due to an increase in volume, which can be
attributed to an expansion of the operation during 1993, along with depositors
seeking higher yields through alternative investments. Net securities gains
increased to $310,000 in 1993 from $8,000 in 1992. These gains were the result
of the sale of Security Capital's investment in Atlantic States Bankcard
Association, Inc., and the exercise of call provisions by the issuers of several
municipal securities. Other increased $446,000 (74.0%) due to several smaller
increases within this category.
OTHER EXPENSE
     Other expense decreased $3,698,000 (13.4%) to $23,842,000 in 1993. For the
year ended December 31, 1992, Security Capital had approximately $2.6 million of
Merger-related expenses. These Merger-related expenses were reflected in the
personnel, net occupancy, professional and other services, and other categories
for 1992. Federal and other insurance premiums decreased $194,000 during 1993
due to a decline in the average deposit accounts and the consolidation of other
insurance coverage. During 1993, Security Capital experienced additional
increases in efficiencies of operations due to the Merger which are reflected in
various categories. Additional efficiencies are anticipated; however, the amount
of decreased expense from these efficiencies cannot be determined at this time.
INCOME TAXES
     Income taxes increased $950,000 (15.0%) to $7,273,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993, while income before income taxes increased $5,828,000 (35.8%)
to $22,112,000 in 1993 from $16,284,000 in 1992. Excluding the impact of
adoption of Statement 109, income taxes would have been $7,661,000, or 34.6% of
income before income taxes, compared to 38.8% in 1992. This decrease is largely
due to a portion of the 1992 provision for thrift loan losses for which a tax
benefit could not be recognized. In 1993, as allowed by Statement 109, an income
tax benefit was recognized for the provision for loan losses. Income taxes for
the year ended December 31, 1993, includes the effect of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the Act) signed into law on August 10, 1993. The
overall effect of the Act was an increase in income taxes of approximately
$200,000, primarily due to the increased corporate tax rate.
COMPARISON OF THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992 AND 1991
NET INCOME
     Security Capital earned $9,961,000, or $.84 per share, for the year ended
December 31, 1992, a decrease of 11.7% from the 1991 net income of $11,277,000,
or $.95 per share. This decrease was primarily a result of the Merger-related
expenses and nonrecurring restructuring charges recognized in connection with
the Merger. Partially offsetting the impact of the Merger-related expenses and
nonrecurring restructuring charges was the increase in net interest income
discussed below. Security Capital's return on average assets decreased to 1.09%
in 1992 from 1.22% in 1991. Return on average equity decreased to 8.81% in 1992
from 10.77% in 1991.
NET INTEREST INCOME
     Net interest income increased $1,613,000 (4.6%) to $36,724,000 in 1992.
Total interest income decreased $11.2 million, or 13.5%, and total interest
expense decreased $12.8 million, or 26.7% in 1992. Also impacting the decrease
in interest income was a decrease in loans receivable. Total loans decreased
$40,909,000 (7.4%) to $510.4 million at December 31, 1992. This decrease was
primarily a result of reduced new loan demand and the continuation of the
selling of current production of fixed rate mortgage loans through the secondary
marketing program. Interest expense was also reduced as a result of a net
decrease in interest-bearing liabilities, and an increase in noninterest-bearing
demand accounts throughout 1992.
LOAN ORIGINATION AND SALE ACTIVITY
     Proceeds from the sales of loans were approximately $85.1 million in 1992
compared to approximately $46.2 million in 1991, resulting in gains of $738,000
and $927,000, respectively. As noted above, Security Capital continued to sell
its current production of fixed rate mortgage loans during 1992. Security
Capital retained the servicing rights on all fixed rate mortgage loans sold
during 1992. Proceeds from the sales of loans, along with other funds, were used
to fund loan originations and to increase the investment portfolio.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
     The provision for loan losses was $1,848,000 for 1992 compared to
$1,924,000 for 1991. Charge-offs decreased 39.3% in 1992 to $1,024,000 while
recoveries increased 42.3% to $656,000. This resulted in the allowance for loan
losses increasing $1,480,000 (27.3%) to $6,909,000 at December 31, 1992, from
$5,429,000 at December 31, 1991.
 

OTHER INCOME
     Other income decreased 2.9% to $8,948,000 in 1992. Net securities gains
decreased to $8,000 in 1992 from $549,000 in 1991. As noted above, net gains on
sales of loans decreased to $738,000 in 1992 from $927,000 in 1991. Deposit and
other service charge income increased $628,000 (13.6%) to $5,255,000 in 1992.
This increase represents a continual monitoring of the pricing structure along
with improved fee collection. In addition, Security Capital experienced an
increase in volume due to an increase in transaction accounts. Other decreased
$279,000 (31.6%) due to several smaller decreases within this category.
OTHER EXPENSE
     Total other expense increased $2.1 million (8.1%) in 1992. This increase
was primarily due to the Merger-related expenses and non-recurring restructuring
charges recognized in connection with the Merger. Approximately $2.6 million of
Merger-related expenses and non-recurring restructuring charges are included
throughout the Other Expense categories, specifically increasing personnel, net
occupancy, professional and other services and other.
INCOME TAXES
     Income taxes increased $681,000 to $6.3 million in 1992 while income before
taxes decreased to $16.3 million in 1992 from $16.9 million in 1991. This
increase in the effective income tax rate from 33.3% in 1991 to 38.8% in 1992
results primarily from a larger 1992 provision for thrift loan losses for which
a tax benefit could not be recognized.
                              FINANCIAL CONDITION
     Total assets of Security Capital at December 31, 1993, were $928,935,000,
an increase from December 31, 1992, of $15,224,000 (1.7%). Investment securities
increased $29,749,000 (8.8%) to $368,353,000 primarily due to weak loan demand
and management's policy to sell current production of fixed rate mortgage loans.
Net loans receivable decreased $37,227,000 (7.3%) to $473,202,000 due to the
reasons noted above. Loans held for sale increased $16,145,000 to $18,409,000
primarily due to the timing of the sales which is influenced by fluctuations in
the market. Total deposits increased $10,821,000 (1.4%) to $784,456,000.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $4,500,000 to $8,000,000 due
to the payment of maturing advances throughout the year. Total stockholders'
equity was $124,220,000 or 13.37% of total assets, at December 31, 1993.
                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     The principal sources of liquidity for Security Capital's banking
subsidiaries are deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances,
principal and interest payments on loans, interest received on investment
securities, and fees. Deposit accounts are considered a primary source of funds
supporting the banking subsidiaries' lending and investment activities. At
December 31, 1993, the Security Capital banking subsidiaries were in compliance
with all regulatory liquidity requirements. Management believes that Security
Capital has adequate sources of liquidity at December 31, 1993.
     At December 31, 1993, Security Capital and its banking subsidiaries were in
compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements. The following
table compares Security Capital's regulatory capital as of December 31, 1993,
with the minimum capital standards established by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the FRB).

     Management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory
authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity,
capital resources or operations.
     During the year ended December 31, 1993, Security Capital repurchased
approximately 265,000 shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market
or in privately-negotiated transactions. The net cost of these transactions was
approximately $3.6 million.
     On December 15, 1993, Security Capital announced that it and Fairfield
Communities, Inc. (FCI), had executed a letter of intent concerning Security
Capital's acquisition of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Charlotte, North Carolina, a wholly owned subsidiary of FCI. For further
discussion of this pending acquisition, see note (2) of Notes To Consolidated
Financial Statements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991
 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The following is a description of the more significant accounting and
     reporting policies which Security Capital Bancorp and subsidiaries
     (Security Capital) follow in preparing and presenting their consolidated
     financial statements:
     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND REPORTING                               (a)
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     Security Capital Bancorp, a North Carolina corporation organized as a
     multi-bank holding company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Bank
     and Trust Company, Salisbury, North Carolina (Security Bank), OMNIBANK,
     Inc., A State Savings Bank, Salisbury, North Carolina (OMNIBANK), Citizens
     Savings, Inc., SSB, Concord, North Carolina (Citizens), Home Savings Bank,
     Inc., SSB, Kings Mountain, North Carolina (Home Savings), First Cabarrus
     Corporation, Salisbury, North Carolina (FCC), and Estates Development
     Corporation, Salisbury, North Carolina (EDC). All significant intercompany
     balances have been eliminated.
     Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the statement
     presentation for 1993. The reclassifications have no effect on
     stockholders' equity or net income as previously reported.
     All dollar amounts except share and per share amounts in the notes to the
     consolidated financial statements are in thousands.
     INVESTMENT SECURITIES                                                   (b)
     When securities are purchased, they are classified as investment securities
     if, in management's opinion, Security Capital has the intent to hold them
     as long-term investments and the ability to hold them to maturity. These
     securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
     accretion of discounts.
     Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized when realized, with
     cost being determined by the specific identification method. Premiums and
     discounts are amortized into interest income using a level yield method.
     Regulations require the savings bank subsidiaries (i.e. OMNIBANK, Citizens,
     and Home Savings) to maintain cash and approved securities in an amount
     equal to a prescribed percentage (10% at December 31, 1993) of total
     assets.
     LOANS HELD FOR SALE                                                     (c)
     Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market as
     determined by the outstanding commitments from investors or current
     investor yield requirements calculated on the aggregate loan basis. Gains
     and losses are realized if at the time of sale the average interest rate on
     the loans sold, adjusted for servicing costs, differs from the agreed yield
     to the buyer. Any excess servicing fee is deferred and amortized using a
     level yield method over the contractual life of such loans. Gains or losses
     resulting from sales of loans are recognized when the proceeds are received
     from the investors.
     LOAN INTEREST INCOME                                                    (d)
     Loan interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
     The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on all loans that become
     90 days past due as to principal or interest unless collection of both
     principal and interest is assured by way of both collateralization,
     guarantees, or other security, and the loan is in the process of
     collection. Security Capital provides an allowance for uncollected accrued
     interest income if, in the opinion of management, collectibility of that
     accrued interest income is doubtful. This allowance is netted against
     accrued interest income, which is included in other assets in the
     accompanying consolidated financial statements. Interest income foregone on
     nonaccrual and restructured loans for each of the years in the three-year
     period ended December 31, 1993 was not significant.
 

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES                                               (e)
     Security Capital provides for loan losses on the allowance method.
     Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the related allowance and all
     recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses
     are provided by charges to operations based on various factors that, in
     management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating losses
     inherent in the portfolio. Such factors considered by management include
     the market value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of
     the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to
     outstanding loans, delinquency trends and economic conditions. Management
     evaluates the carrying value of loans periodically and the allowance is
     adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information available
     to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary if economic and
     other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used.
     In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
     examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses.
     Such regulatory agencies may require the financial institution subsidiaries
     to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their
     judgments about information available to them at the time of their
     examination.
     REAL ESTATE OWNED                                                       (f)
     Real estate owned is included in other assets and represent other real
     estate that has been acquired through loan foreclosures or deed received in
     lieu of foreclosure. Such properties are generally appraised annually and
     are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less applicable selling
     costs. Costs relating to the development and improvement of property are
     capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are charged to
     expense.
     PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT                                                  (g)
     Premises and equipment are recorded at cost, and depreciation is provided
     over the estimated useful lives of the related assets principally on a
     straight-line basis. Estimated lives are ten to fifty years for buildings,
     building components and improvements; five to ten years for furniture,
     fixtures, and equipment; and three years for automobiles. Leasehold
     improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of
     their estimated life or the remaining lease term.
     Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements
     are capitalized. The costs and accumulated depreciation relating to
     premises and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from
     the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to
     income.
     LOAN ORIGINATION FEES AND COSTS                                         (h)
     Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are
     deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the related loan as an
     adjustment of the loan yield using a level yield method. Direct costs of
     unsuccessful loans and indirect costs are expensed as incurred.
     INCOME TAXES                                                            (i)
     Security Capital adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Standard No.
     109) during 1993 and has applied the provisions of the statement without
     restating prior years' financial statements. Prior to the adoption of
     Standard No. 109, Security Capital accounted for income taxes using the
     deferred method required by APB Opinion 11.
     Standard No. 109 has changed Security Capital's method of accounting for
     income taxes from the deferred method to the asset and liability method.
     The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred
     tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the
     financial reporting basis and the tax basis of Security Capital's assets
     and liabilities at enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts
     are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by
     the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based upon
     available evidence.
     The cumulative effect of adopting Standard No. 109 as of January 1, 1993
     was not material, and therefore no cumulative effect was presented in the
     consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1993.
     Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which applied in 1992
     and prior years, deferred income taxes are recognized for income and
     expense items that are reported in different years for financial reporting
     purposes and income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year
     of the calculation. Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not
     adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates.
 

     NET INCOME AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE                                      (j)
     Net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of shares outstanding, as adjusted retroactively
     for stock splits and stock dividends. Due to the pooling-of-interests
     merger in 1992, as discussed in note 2, dividends per share for 1992 and
     1991 was computed by dividing dividends paid by the weighted average number
     of shares outstanding, as adjusted retroactively for stock splits and stock
     dividends.
     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS                                               (k)
     Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing
     balances in other banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, cash and cash
     equivalents are considered to have maturities of three months or less.
     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS                                     (l)
     In December 1991 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     (Statement No. 107). Statement No. 107 requires disclosures about the fair
     value of all financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and
     assumptions are set forth in note 16.
     POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS                                                 (m)
     The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
     Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
     (Statement No. 106), which requires during an employee's active years of
     service, accrual of expected costs of providing postretirement benefits,
     principally health care and life insurance, to employees and their
     beneficiaries and dependents. Statement No. 106 was effective for 1993, but
     there was no material impact on Security Capital's 1993 consolidated
     financial statements since Security Capital generally does not provide such
     benefits.
 (2) PENDING ACQUISITIONS AND MERGER
     On December 15, 1993, Security Capital announced that it and Fairfield
     Communities, Inc. (FCI), had executed a letter of intent concerning
     Security Capital's acquisition of First Federal Savings and Loan
     Association (First Federal) of Charlotte, North Carolina, a wholly owned
     subsidiary of FCI. First Federal operates ten banking offices and had total
     assets of approximately $333,000 at December 31, 1993. Under the letter of
     intent, the consummation of the proposed acquisition is subject to numerous
     conditions, including completion by Security Capital to its satisfaction of
     a due diligence investigation of First Federal. Assuming a definitive
     agreement is reached and all conditions are satisfied, the parties expect
     the acquisition will be consummated during the second quarter of 1994.
     On January 25, 1994, Security Capital announced that Home Savings and First
     Citizens Bank and Trust Co. (First Citizens) had entered into an agreement
     involving the sale of First Citizens' Bessemer City office to Home Savings
     and the sale of Home Savings' Gastonia office to First Citizens. With the
     transaction, Home Savings will assume approximately $4,600 in deposits in
     Bessemer City and First Citizens will assume approximately $11,400 in
     deposits in Gastonia. Subject to regulatory approval, the purchases are
     expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1994.
     On June 30, 1992, Omni Capital Group, Inc. (Omni), a multiple thrift
     holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina
     and the former parent of OMNIBANK, Citizens, Home Savings, FCC and EDC,
     merged with and into First Security Financial Corporation (FSFC), a bank
     holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina
     and the parent of Security Bank (the Merger). Upon the completion of the
     Merger, FSFC's name was changed to Security Capital Bancorp. Pursuant to
     the Agreement of Combination and the related Plan of Merger, which were
     approved by the stockholders of both FSFC and Omni, 5,681,216 shares of
     Security Capital common stock, no par value per share, were issued in
     exchange for the surrender of the issued and outstanding shares of common
     stock of Omni, par value of $1.00 per share, at an exchange ratio of 2.25
     shares of Security Capital common stock for each such share of Omni common
     stock. The Merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and,
     accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the
     Merger were restated to combine the accounts of FSFC and Omni.

 Total proceeds from sales or issuer calls of investment securities during 1993,
 1992 and 1991 were $5,860, $11 and $56,148, respectively. There were gross
 realized gains of $310 and $8, respectively, and no gross realized losses in
 1993 and 1992, respectively. Gross gains of $591 and gross losses of $42 were
 realized on sales of investment securities in 1991. Investment securities with
 an aggregate par value of $23,764 were pledged to secure public deposits and
 for other purposes as required by various agencies.
 The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Standard No. 115,
 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, that requires
 debt and equity securities held: (i) to maturity be classified as such and
 reported at amortized cost; (ii) for current resale be classified as trading
 securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
 included in current earnings; and (iii) for any other purpose be classified as
 securities available for sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains
 and losses excluded from current earnings and reported as a separate component
 of stockholders' equity. It is required for fiscal years beginning after
 December 15, 1993. Security Capital will adopt Standard No. 115 as of January
 1, 1994. In connection with this adoption, Security Capital anticipates that
 approximately $324,500 of investment securities will be classified as
 securities available for sale. As of December 31, 1993, these securities had

 unrealized securities gain, net of income tax effects, of approximately $4,100
 being recorded as an increase to stockholders' equity on the date of adoption.

 Certain real estate loans are pledged as collateral for advances from the
 Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as set forth in note 7.
 Loans serviced for others approximated $203,403, $174,884 and $147,563 at
 December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.

 Security Capital's banking subsidiaries offer mortgage and consumer loans to
 their officers, directors, and employees for the financing of their personal
 residences and for other personal purposes. These loans are made in the
 ordinary course of business and are made on substantially the same terms,
 including interest rates and collateral, prevailing at the time for comparable
 transactions with unaffiliated persons. Management does not believe these loans
 involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other
 unfavorable features.
 The following is a reconciliation of loans outstanding in excess of $60 to
 Security Capital's executive officers, directors, and their immediate families
 for the year ended December 31, 1993:

 The FASB has issued Standard No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
 a Loan, which requires that all creditors value all specifically reviewed loans
 for which it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all
 amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement at either the present
 value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate,
 or if more practical, the market price or value of collateral. This Standard is
 required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. Security Capital
 has not determined the impact, if any, of this Standard on its consolidated
 financial statements.

 At December 31, 1993, stock owned by OMNIBANK in the FHLB ($2,220) was pledged
 to secure these advances. Security Capital's savings bank subsidiaries have
 also entered into blanket collateral agreements with the FHLB whereby they
 maintain, free of other encumbrances, qualifying mortgages (as defined) with
 unpaid principal balances at least equal to, when discounted at 65% of the
 unpaid principal balance, 100% of the total FHLB advances.
 Security Capital's savings bank subsidiaries have unused lines of credit with
 the FHLB totaling approximately $60,000 at December 31, 1993. If drawn, the
 advanced funds would be at market rates of interest and would be collateralized
 by the aforementioned blanket collateral agreements, all stock of the borrowing
 subsidiary in the FHLB, and any other collateral as deemed necessary by the
 FHLB.
 

 (8) INCOME TAXES
     As discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Security
     Capital adopted Standard No. 109 as of January 1, 1993. The cumulative
     effect of this change in accounting for income taxes of $388 as of January
     1, 1993 is reflected in the 1993 financial statements as a reduction of
     income tax expense. Financial statements for the periods prior to 1993 have
     not been restated to apply the provisions of Standard No. 109. The effect
     of adoption of Standard No. 109 for the year ended December 31, 1993 was a
     reduction in tax liability of approximately $94.
     Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992,
     and 1991, was as follows:

 The income tax expense of Security Capital for the years ended December 31,
 1993, 1992, and 1991, was different from the amount computed by applying the
 federal income tax rate to income before income taxes because of the following:

 For the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, deferred income tax expense
 (benefits) result from timing differences in the period in which revenues and
 expenses are recognized for income tax and financial statement purposes. The
 sources of these differences and the tax effects of each are presented below:

 The realization of net deferred tax assets may be based on utilization of
 carrybacks to prior taxable periods, anticipation of future taxable income in
 certain periods, and the utilization of tax planning strategies. Management has
 determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset can
 be supported by carrybacks to federal taxable income in excess of $52,000 in
 the three-year federal carryback period and by expected future taxable income
 which will far exceed amounts necessary to fully realize remaining deferred tax
 assets resulting from the scheduling of temporary differences. The valuation
 allowance primarily relates to certain state temporary differences. At January
 1, 1993, the valuation allowance was $247. The change in the valuation
 allowance during 1993 was a net decrease of $46.
 Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Security Capital's savings bank
 subsidiaries are allowed a special bad debt deduction related to additions to
 tax bad debt reserves established for the purpose of absorbing losses. A
 reduction of such reserves for purposes other than bad debt losses will create
 income for tax purposes only, which will be subject to the then current
 corporate income tax rates. Under the provisions of APB Opinion 23, a deferred
 tax liability is not currently recognized for temporary differences resulting
 from a savings bank's base year tax bad debt reserve. At December 31, 1993, the
 potential deferred tax liability related to the recapture of this portion of
 the tax bad debt reserve is approximately $5,600.
 Income tax returns subsequent to 1989 are subject to examination by the taxing
 authorities.
 (9) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
     Retained earnings at December 31, 1993, includes approximately $14,016 for
     which no provision for federal income tax has been made. This amount
     represents allocations of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes
     only. Reduction of such amount for purposes other than tax bad debt losses
     will create income for tax purposes only, which will be subject to the then
     current corporate income tax rate.
     At the time of their conversions to stock ownership, liquidation accounts
     were established for each of Security Capital's savings bank subsidiaries
     in amounts equal to their respective regulatory capital. Each eligible
     deposit account holder, as described in the respective plans of conversion,
     is entitled to a proportionate share of this account in the event of a
     complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, and only in such event.
     This share will be reduced if the account holder's balance in the related
     deposit account falls below the amount in such account on the date(s) of
     record, and will cease to exist if the account is closed. The liquidation
     accounts will never be increased despite any increase after the conversions
     in the related balance of an account holder.
     Security Capital and its banking subsidiaries must comply with certain
     regulatory capital requirements established by the FRB and the FDIC. At
     December 31, 1993, these standards required Security Capital and its
     banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 capital (as
     defined) to total risk-weighted assets and total capital (as defined) to
     risk-weighted assets of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively, and a minimum ratio
     of Tier 1 capital to total assets (as defined) of 3.00% to 5.00%, depending
     upon the specific institution's composite ratings as determined by its
     regulators. At December 31, 1993, Security Capital and its banking
     subsidiaries were in compliance with all of the aforementioned capital
     requirements.
 

     Security Capital also has authorized 5,000,000 shares of no par value
     preferred stock, none of which is issued and outstanding at December 31,
     1993.
(10) PENSION, PROFIT SHARING, AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS
     Security Capital had a profit sharing plan (the Profit Sharing Plan)
     covering certain of Security Bank's employees. In 1993 Security Capital
     merged the Profit Sharing Plan into an Employees' Incentive Profit Sharing
     and Savings (401k) Plan (the Incentive Plan) for the benefit of the
     eligible employees of Security Capital and its subsidiaries. As a result,
     Security Capital made contributions to the Incentive Plan in 1993 rather
     than to the Profit Sharing Plan. Contributions to the Incentive Plan are
     based on a percentage of Security Capital's profits, as computed by a
     formula set by the Board of Directors. The maximum allowable contribution
     is 15% of the participating employee's compensation. Profit sharing costs
     charged to expense approximated $694 in 1993, $329 in 1992, and $305 in
     1991.
 Security Bank sponsored a noncontributory defined benefit plan which covered
 substantially all the employees of Security Bank and Security Capital sponsored
 a noncontributory defined benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the
 savings bank subsidiaries (the Plans). The Plans were merged into one defined
 benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees of Security Capital and
 its subsidiaries as of January 1, 1993. Benefits for the Plan are based on
 years of service and the employee's annual compensation during his or her term
 of employment. Security Capital's funding policy is to contribute annually to
 the Plan the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax
 purposes. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributed to
 service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future.
 The following table sets forth the Plans' funded status and amounts recognized
 in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1993 and 1992.

 levels was 6.0% in 1993 and 6.5% to 8% for the two years ended December 31,
 1992. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.0% in 1993 and 7.0%
 to 8.0% in 1992 and 1991.
 

(11) STOCK OPTION PLANS
     Security Capital has continued in effect the Omni Capital Group, Inc. 1988
     Incentive Stock Option Plan pursuant to which options to purchase Security
     Capital common stock may be granted to certain full-time officers and
     employees at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock
     on the date of grant. Such options are exercisable for a ten year period.
     An aggregate of 675,000 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance
     under this plan. In the case of an employee who owns more than 10% of
     Security Capital's outstanding common stock at the time the option is
     granted, the option price may not be less than 110% of the fair market
     value of the shares on the date of grant, and shall be exercisable after
     the expiration of six months and before the expiration of five years from
     the date of grant.
     Security Capital has also continued in effect the Omni Capital Group, Inc.
     1988 Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which certain
     non-employee members of the boards of directors of Security Capital and its
     subsidiaries have been granted options to purchase Security Capital common
     stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common
     stock on the date of grant. Options granted under this plan must be
     exercised within five years from the date of grant.
     On March 15, 1988, OMNIBANK adopted two stock option plans, the Home
     Federal Savings Bank 1988 Amended and Restated Directors' Non-Qualified
     Stock Option Plan and the Home Federal Savings Bank 1988 Incentive Stock
     Option Plan (the Home Option Plans), which plans became effective upon the
     completion of its conversion from a mutual savings and loan association to
     a capital stock savings bank. Home Federal Savings Bank was subsequently
     renamed OMNIBANK. Security Capital has continued the Home Option Plans. An
     aggregate number of shares amounting to 337,500 has been reserved by
     Security Capital to be issued upon the exercise of stock options which have
     been granted to certain directors, officers, and employees of Security
     Capital under the Home Option Plans. No more options may be granted under
     the Home Option Plans.

(12) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
     Security Capital has continued Omni's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
     ESOP) for the benefit of the former employees of Omni and its subsidiaries.
     Contributions to the ESOP are made on a discretionary basis and are
     allocated to each eligible employee based on his/her salary in relation to
     total employee compensation expense. At retirement or termination of
     employment, each employee will receive an amount equal to his/her vested
     interest in the ESOP in the form of cash or common stock.
     In connection with the mutual to stock conversions of the savings bank
     subsidiaries, the ESOP borrowed funds to purchase Omni common stock for the
     ESOP. Upon the Merger, the shares of Omni common stock held in the ESOP
     were exchanged for shares of Security Capital common stock. During 1992,
     Security Capital repurchased sufficient remaining unallocated shares of
     Security Capital common stock held by the ESOP to eliminate the remaining
     balance of the related debt. In 1993, Security Capital made contributions
     to the Incentive Plan discussed in Note 10 rather than to the ESOP.
     Security Capital plans to terminate the ESOP in 1994.
     ESOP costs charged to expense amounted to $10, $334 and $293 in 1993, 1992
     and 1991, respectively.
(13) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK
     Security Capital is a defendent in various litigation arising in the normal
     course of business. In the opinion of management, resolution of these
     matters will not result in a material adverse effect on Security Capital's
     financial position.
     In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various commitments
     to extend credit which are not reflected in the consolidated financial
     statements. At December 31, 1993, outstanding loan commitments approximated
     $8,507 (Fixed Rate -- $5,737, Variable Rate -- $2,770), preapproved but
     unused lines of credit for loans totalled $90,934 and standby letters of
     credit aggregated $268. These amounts represent Security Capital's exposure
     to credit risk, and in the opinion of management have no more than the
     normal lending risk that Security Capital's banking subsidiaries commit to
     their borrowers. If these commitments are drawn, Security Capital's banking
     subsidiaries will obtain collateral if it is deemed necessary based on
     management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but
     may include accounts receivable, inventory, and commercial or residential
     real estate. Management expects that these commitments can be funded
     through normal operations. In addition, Security Capital has no off-balance
     sheet derivative commitments.
     Security Capital's banking subsidiaries make primarily commercial, real
     estate and installment loans to customers throughout their market areas,
     which consists primarily of the south central and western Piedmont regions
     of North Carolina. These subsidiaries' real estate loan portfolios can be
     affected by the condition of the local real estate markets and their
     commercial and installment loan portfolios can be affected by local
     economic conditions.
     Average daily Federal Reserve balance requirements for the savings bank
     subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1993 amounted to $525.
     Security Bank is required to maintain noninterest bearing cash reserve
     balances with the Federal Reserve. The average amount of cash reserve
     balances required for the two-week period ended January 5, 1994
     approximated $2,165.

(15) PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL DATA
     The primary assets of Security Capital (the Parent Company) are its
     investments in subsidiaries and its principal source of income is dividends
     from these subsidiaries. Certain regulatory and other requirements restrict
     the lending of funds by the subsidiaries to the Parent Company and the
     amount of dividends which can be paid to the Parent Company. At December
     31, 1993, the subsidiaries had available undivided profits of approximately
     $25,038 for payments of dividends without obtaining prior regulatory
     approval. At December 31, 1993, approximately $85,724 of the Parent
     Company's investment in its subsidiaries is restricted as to transfer to
     the Parent Company without obtaining prior regulatory approval.

     Company:

(16) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures About Fair
     Value of Financial Instruments (Statement No. 107) was issued by the FASB
     in December 1991. Statement No. 107 requires disclosures about the fair
     value of all financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and
     assumptions are set forth below for each type of financial instrument.
 

 CASH, FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
 The carrying amount of cash, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, and
 accrued interest receivable or payable on all financial instruments approximate
 fair value because of the short terms to maturity of these financial
 instruments.
 INVESTMENT SECURITIES
 The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of
 investment securities at December 31, 1993 and 1992:


                                                                           At December 31,

 The fair value of debt securities, except certain state and municipal
 obligations, is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers
 or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain
 state and municipal obligations is not readily available through market sources
 other than dealer quotations, so fair value estimates are based on quoted
 market prices of instruments similar to those being valued, adjusted for
 differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.
 LOANS
 For purposes of estimating fair value of loans, the portfolio is segregated by
 type based on similar characteristics such as real estate mortgage, real estate
 construction and installment and equity lines of credit.
 The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows using
 current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
 credit risk. Cash flows for fixed rate loans are based on the weighted average
 maturity of the specific loan category. Adjustable rate loans are either prime
 based and are repriced immediately or monthly as prime changes, or are based on
 published indices and have relatively short terms to their repricing dates.
 The following table presents fair value information for loans:


                                                               1993                           1992

 DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
 The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits
 is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is
 based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
 estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining
 maturities.
 The following table presents fair value information for deposits:


                                                                           At December 31,

 ADVANCES FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK AND OTHER BORROWED MONEY
 The fair value of advances from the FHLB is based on quoted market prices for
 the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to Security Capital
 for debt of the same remaining maturities. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the
 carrying value of advances from the FHLB was $8,000 and $12,500, respectively,
 and the fair value was $8,539 and $13,317, respectively.
 The fair value of other borrowed money, consisting of securities sold under
 agreements to repurchase, bearing a short term to maturity, is considered to
 approximate carrying value.
 COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT
 The large majority of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
 credit are at variable rates and/or have relatively short terms to maturity.
 Therefore, the fair value for these financial instruments is considered to
 approximate the carrying value.
 LIMITATIONS
 Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
 market information and information about the financial instrument. These
 estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
 offering for sale at one time Security Capital's entire holdings of a
 particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant
 portion of Security Capital's financial instruments, fair value estimates are
 based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic
 conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
 factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
 matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
 precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
 Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial
 instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future
 business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
 financial instruments. For example, a significant asset not considered a
 financial asset is premises and equipment. In addition, tax ramifications
 related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a
 significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any
 of the estimates.
 

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Security Capital Bancorp
Salisbury, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Capital
Bancorp and subsidiaries (Security Capital) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1993, included on pages 8 through 26 herein. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of Security Capital's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Capital
Bancorp and subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
