NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

(Unaudited)

(1) General

        The interim consolidated financial statements are presented herein without audit and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

        The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2003 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by our independent auditors. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        On May 27, 2004, the Board of Directors of Iron Mountain Incorporated (the "Company" or "IMI") authorized and approved a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a dividend on the Company's common stock. Such additional shares of common stock were issued on June 30, 2004 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2004. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split.

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentation.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a.

Principles of Consolidation

        The accompanying financial statements reflect our financial position and results of operations on a consolidated basis. Financial position and results of operations of Iron Mountain Europe Limited ("IME"), our European subsidiary, are consolidated for the appropriate periods based on its fiscal year ended October 31. All significant intercompany account balances have been eliminated or presented to reflect the underlying economics of the transactions.

b.

Foreign Currency Translation

        Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for most of our operations outside the United States. All assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the applicable period, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive items component of shareholders' equity. The gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, including those related to (a) U.S. dollar denominated 8¹/8% senior notes of our Canadian subsidiary (the "Subsidiary notes"), (b) our 7¹/4% GBP Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "7¹/4% notes"), (c) the borrowings in certain foreign currencies under our revolving credit agreements, and (d) the foreign currency denominated intercompany obligations of our foreign subsidiaries to us, are included in other

7

(income) expense, net, on our consolidated statements of operations. The total of such net losses amounted to $4,838 and net gains of $18,796 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, and the total of such net gains amounted to $2,753 and net losses of $2,185 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

c.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        We apply the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

        We have selected October 1 as our annual goodwill impairment review date. We performed our last annual goodwill impairment review as of October 1, 2003 and noted no impairment of goodwill at our reporting units as of that date. As of September 30, 2004, no factors were identified that would alter this assessment.

        The changes in the carrying value of goodwill attributable to each reportable operating segment for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 are as follows:

        The components of our amortizable intangible assets at September 30, 2004 are as follows:

d.

Stock Based Compensation

        As of January 1, 2003, we adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure." As a result we adopted the fair value method of accounting in our financial statements beginning January 1, 2003 using the prospective method. The prospective method involves recognizing expense for the fair value for all awards granted or modified in the year of

8

adoption and thereafter with no expense recognition for previous awards. Additionally, we recognize expense related to the discount embedded in our employee stock purchase plan. We apply the fair value recognition provisions to all stock based awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003 and we continue to provide the required pro forma information for all awards previously granted, modified or settled before January 1, 2003.

        Had we elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and No. 148 for options granted prior to January 1, 2003, net income and net income per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

        The weighted average fair value of options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 was $10.97 and $8.48 per share, respectively. The values were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used for grants in the respective period:

e.

Income Per Share—Basic and Diluted

        In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted net income per share is consistent with that of basic net income per share, but

9

gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as options, warrants or convertible securities) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive. Potential common shares, substantially attributable to stock options, included in the calculation of diluted net income per share totaled 2,135,012 shares and 2,078,369 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and 2,218,232 shares and 2,122,218 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Potential common shares of 460,058 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, and no shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as their effects are antidilutive.

f.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, cash payments for interest were $95,043 and $134,211, respectively, and cash payments for income taxes (net of refunds) were $3,720 and $7,820, respectively.

(3) Comprehensive Income

        SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires presentation of the components of comprehensive income, including the changes in equity from non-owner sources such as unrealized gains (losses) on hedging transactions, securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Our total comprehensive income is as follows:

(4) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

        SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," requires that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Periodically, we acquire derivative instruments that are intended to hedge either cash flows or values that are subject to exchange or other market price risk, and not for trading purposes. We have formally documented our hedging relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedge items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking each hedge transaction. Given the recurring nature of our revenues and the long term nature of our asset base, we have the ability and the preference to use long term, fixed interest rate debt to finance our

10

business, thereby preserving our long term returns on invested capital. We target a range 80% to 85% of our debt portfolio to be fixed with respect to interest rates. Occasionally, we will use floating to fixed interest rate swaps as a tool to maintain our targeted level of fixed rate debt. In addition we will use borrowings in foreign currencies, either obtained in the U.S. or by our foreign subsidiaries, to naturally hedge foreign currency risk associated with our international investments. Sometimes we enter into currency swaps to temporarily hedge an overseas investment, such as a major acquisition to lock in certain transaction economics, while we arrange permanent financing.

        We have entered into two interest rate swap agreements, which are derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133 and designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements hedge interest rate risk on certain amounts of our term loan. We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the estimated cost to terminate these swaps (fair value of the derivative liability), a deferred tax asset and a corresponding charge to accumulated other comprehensive items of $6,649 ($5,252 recorded in accrued expenses and $1,397 recorded in other long-term liabilities), $2,424 and $4,225, respectively, as of September 30, 2004. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we recorded additional interest expense of $2,198 and $6,471, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash settlements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded additional interest expense of $2,149 and $6,642 respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash settlements. These interest rate swap agreements were determined to be highly effective, and therefore no ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings.

        In addition, we have entered into a third interest rate swap agreement, which was designated as a cash flow hedge through December 31, 2002. This swap agreement hedged interest rate risk on certain amounts of our variable operating lease commitments. We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the estimated cost to terminate this swap (fair value of the derivative liability) of $316 (which was all recorded in accrued expenses) as of September 30, 2004. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we recorded additional interest expense of $539 and $1,541, respectively, resulting from the cash settlements associated with this interest rate swap agreement. As a result of the repayment of the real estate term loans discussed in Note 6, we recorded an additional $795 of interest in the first quarter of 2004, representing the fair value of the derivative liability. The total impact of marking to market the fair market value of the derivative liability and cash settlements associated with the interest rate swaps agreement resulted in our recording additional interest expense of $23 and $1,249 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

        Also, we consolidated a variable interest entity ("VIE III", collectively with our two other variable interest entities, our "Variable Interest Entities") which had entered into an interest rate swap agreement upon its inception that was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap agreement hedges the majority of interest rate risk associated with VIE III's real estate term loans. We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the estimated cost to terminate this swap (fair value of the derivative liability) of $8,451 ($3,550 recorded in accrued expenses and $4,901 recorded in other long-term liabilities) as of September 30, 2004. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we recorded additional interest expense of $1,231 and $3,576, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash settlements. As a result of the repayment of the real estate term loans discussed in

11

Note 6, we recorded an additional $8,656 of interest in the third quarter of 2004, representing the fair value of the derivative liability. The total impact of marking to market the fair market value of the derivative liability and cash settlements associated with the interest rate swap agreement resulted in our recording additional interest expense of $9,598 and $12,057 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

        In July 2003, we provided the initial financing totaling 190,459 British pounds sterling to IME for all of the consideration associated with the acquisition of the European information management services business of Hays plc ("Hays IMS") using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In March 2004, IME repaid 135,000 British pounds sterling with proceeds from their new credit agreement (see Note 6). We recorded a foreign currency gain of $11,866 in other (income) expense, net for this intercompany balance in the first quarter of 2004. In order to minimize the foreign currency risk associated with providing IME with the consideration necessary for the acquisition of Hay IMS, we borrowed 80,000 British pounds sterling under our revolving credit facility to create a natural hedge. In the first quarter of 2004, these borrowings were repaid and we recorded a foreign currency loss of $2,995 on the translation of this revolving credit balance to U.S. dollars in other (income) expense, net.

        In addition, on July 16, 2003, we entered into two cross currency swaps with a combined notional value of 100,000 British pounds sterling. We settled these swaps in March 2004 by paying our counter parties a total of $27,714 representing the fair market value of the derivative and the associated swap costs, of which $18,978 was accrued for as of December 31, 2003. In the first quarter of 2004, we recorded a foreign currency loss for this swap of $8,736 in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Upon cash settlement, we received $162,800 in exchange for 100,000 British pounds sterling. We did not designate these swaps as hedges and, therefore, all mark to market fluctuations of the swaps were recorded in other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations from inception to cash settlement of the swaps.

        In April 2004, IME entered into two floating for fixed interest rate swap contracts, each with a notional value of 50,000 British pounds sterling and a duration of two years, which were designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements hedge interest rate risk on IME's 100,000 British pounds sterling term loan facility (see Note 6). We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the fair value of the derivative asset, a deferred tax liability and a corresponding increase to accumulated other comprehensive items of $1,376 (which was all recorded in other current assets), $406 and $970, respectively, as of September 30, 2004. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded additional interest expense of $16 and $218, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash settlements.

(5) Acquisitions

        In February 2004, we completed the acquisition of Mentmore plc's ("Mentmore") 49.9% equity interest in IME for total consideration of 82,500 British pounds sterling ($154,000) in cash. Included in this amount is the repayment of all trade and working capital funding owed to Mentmore by IME. Completion of the transaction gives us 100% ownership of IME, affording us full access to all future

12

cash flows and greater strategic and financial flexibility. We do not expect this transaction to have material impact on revenue or operating income since we already fully consolidate IME's financial results. Using the purchase method of accounting for this acquisition, the net assets of IME will be adjusted to reflect 49.9% of the difference between the fair market value and their current carrying value.

        Each of the 2004 acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates. Cash consideration for the various acquisitions was provided through our credit facilities and the issuance of certain of our senior subordinated notes.

        A summary of the consideration paid and the allocation of the purchase price of all 2004 acquisitions is as follows:

(1)

Included in cash paid for acquisitions in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is $2,742 of contingent and other payments that were paid in 2004 related to acquisitions made in 1999 and 2003.

(2)

Comprised primarily of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other, land, buildings, racking, leasehold improvements and customer relationship assets.

(3)

Comprised primarily of accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable.

(4)

Comprised primarily of the carrying value of Mentmore's 49.9% minority interest in IME at the date of acquisition.

        Allocation of the purchase price for the 2004 acquisitions was based on estimates of the fair value of net assets acquired, and is subject to adjustment. The purchase price allocations of certain 2003 and 2004 transactions are subject to finalization of the assessment of the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets (primarily customer relationship assets), operating leases, restructuring purchase reserves and deferred income taxes. We are not aware of any information that would indicate that the final purchase price allocations will differ meaningfully from preliminary estimates.

        In connection with each of our acquisitions, we have undertaken certain restructurings of the acquired businesses. The restructuring activities include certain reductions in staffing levels, elimination of duplicate facilities and other costs associated with exiting certain activities of the acquired businesses. The estimated cost of these restructuring activities were recorded as costs of the acquisitions and were

13

provided for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination." We finalize restructuring plans for each business no later than one year from the date of acquisition. Unresolved matters at September 30, 2004 primarily include completion of planned abandonments of facilities and severance contracts in connection with certain acquisitions.

        The following is a summary of reserves related to such restructuring activities:

(1)

Includes adjustments to goodwill as a result of management finalizing its restructuring plans.

        At September 30, 2004, the restructuring reserves related to acquisitions consisted of lease losses on abandoned facilities of $12,761, severance costs for approximately 62 people of $1,956 and other exit costs of $6,509. These accruals are expected to be used prior to September 30, 2005, except for lease losses of $10,868 and severance contracts of $222, both of which are based on contracts that extend beyond one year.

14

(6) Long-term Debt

        Our long-term debt consists of the following:

(1)

The fair value of this long-term debt either approximates the carrying value (as borrowings under these debt instruments are based on current variable market interest rates as of December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004) or it is impracticable to estimate the fair value due to the nature of such long-term debt.

(2)

These debt instruments are collectively referred to as the "Parent notes."

(3)

The fair values of the Parent notes and the Subsidiary notes are based on quoted market prices for these notes on December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004.

        In January 2004, we completed an offering of 150,000 British pounds sterling in aggregate principal amount of our 7¹/4% notes, which were issued at a price of 100% of par. Our net proceeds of 146,900 British pounds sterling, after paying the initial purchasers' discounts, commissions and transaction fees, were used to fund our acquisition of Mentmore's 49.9% equity interest in IME for total consideration of 82,500 British pounds sterling, to redeem $19,985 in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding Subsidiary notes in February 2004, to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to repay $48,750 of our term loans, to repay other indebtedness and to pay for other acquisitions.

        In February 2004, we redeemed the remaining $19,985 of outstanding principal amount of the Subsidiary notes, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 104.063%,

15

plus accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a charge to other (income) expense, net of $2,028 in the first quarter of 2004 related to the early retirement of these remaining Subsidiary notes, which consists of redemption premiums and transaction costs as well as original issue discount related to these Subsidiary notes.

        In March 2004, IME and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the "IME Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of European lenders. The IME Credit Agreement provides for maximum borrowing availability in the principal amount of 210,000 British pounds sterling, including a 100,000 British pounds sterling revolving credit facility (the "IME revolving credit facility"), which includes the ability to borrow in certain other foreign currencies, a 100,000 British pounds sterling term loan (the "IME term loan facility"), and a 10,000 British pounds sterling overdraft protection line. The IME revolving credit facility matures on March 5, 2009. The IME term loan facility is payable in three installments; two installments of 20,000 British pounds sterling on March 5, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and the final payment of the remaining balance on March 5, 2009. The interest rate on borrowings under the IME Credit Agreement varies depending on IME's choice of currency options and interest rate period, plus an applicable margin. The IME Credit Agreement includes various financial covenants applicable to the results of IME, which may restrict IME's ability to incur indebtedness under the IME Credit Agreement and from third parties, as well as limit IME's ability to pay dividends to us. Most of IME's non-dormant subsidiaries have either guaranteed the obligations or have their shares pledged to secure IME's obligations under the IME Credit Agreement. We have not guaranteed or otherwise provided security for the IME Credit Agreement nor have any of our U.S., Canadian, Mexican or South American subsidiaries.

        In March 2004, IME borrowed approximately 147,000 British pounds sterling under the IME Credit Agreement, including the full amount of the term loan. IME used those proceeds to repay us 135,000 British pounds sterling related to our initial financing of the acquisition of Hays IMS, to repay amounts outstanding under its prior term loan and revolving credit facility and to pay transaction costs associated with the IME Credit Agreement. We used the 135,000 British pounds sterling received from IME to: (1) pay down $103,932 of real estate term loans, (2) settle all obligations totaling $27,714 associated with terminating our two cross currency swaps used to hedge the foreign currency impact of our intercompany financing with IME related to the Hays IMS acquisition, and (3) to pay down amounts outstanding under our prior credit agreement. Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 included 147,092 British pounds sterling ($267,912) of borrowings under the IME Credit Agreement. The remaining availability, based on its current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IME revolving credit facility on July 31, 2004, was approximately 49,600 British pounds sterling ($90,300). The interest rate in effect under the IME revolving credit facility ranged from 3.8% to 6.6% as of July 31, 2004.

        On April 2, 2004 and subsequently on July 8, 2004, we entered into a new amended and restated revolving credit facility and term loan facility (the "IMI Credit Agreement") to replace our prior credit agreement and to reflect more favorable pricing of our term loans. The IMI Credit Agreement has an aggregate principal amount of $550,000 and is comprised of a $350,000 revolving credit facility (the "IMI revolving credit facility"), which includes the ability to borrow in certain foreign currencies, and a $200,000 term loan facility (the "IMI term loan facility"). The IMI revolving credit facility matures on

16

April 2, 2009. With respect to the IMI term loan facility, quarterly loan payments of $500 began in the third quarter of 2004 and will continue through maturity on April 2, 2011, at which time the remaining outstanding principal balance of the IMI term loan facility is due. The interest rate on borrowings under the IMI Credit Agreement varies depending on our choice of interest rate and currency options, plus an applicable margin. All intercompany notes and the capital stock of most of our U.S. subsidiaries are pledged to secure the IMI Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2004, we had $172,184 of borrowings under our IMI revolving credit facility, of which $6,000 was denominated in U.S. dollars and the remaining balance was denominated in Canadian dollars (CAD 211,000); we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $22,427. The remaining availability, based on IMI's current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IMI revolving credit facility, on September 30, 2004 was $155,389. The interest rate in effect under the IMI revolving credit facility was 4.5% as of September 30, 2004.

        Our Variable Interest Entities were financed with real estate term loans. In March 2004, $103,932 of these real estate term loans was repaid; the remaining $98,715 of real estate term loans was repaid in August 2004. We recorded a charge to other (income) expense, net of $426 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 related to the early retirement of these real estate term loans.

        Our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness. As of September 30, 2004, we were in compliance with all material debt covenants and agreements.

(7) Selected Financial Information of Parent, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors

        The following financial data summarizes the consolidating Company on the equity method of accounting as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. The Guarantors column includes all subsidiaries that guarantee the Parent notes. The subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Parent notes are referred to in the table as the "Non-Guarantors."
