                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors of
Records Management Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Records
Management Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30,
1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Records Management Services,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  As described in Note 1, the Company changed its method of accounting for
customer acquisition costs effective October 1, 1995.

 (INFORMATION FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 IS
                                  UNAUDITED.)
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  NATURE OF OPERATIONS--Records Management Services, Inc. (Illinois) (the
"Company") is a provider of business records management services including
storage, consulting, micro-imaging and contract management services.
 
  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--The accompanying financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated.
 
  The Company's 50% interest in an unconsolidated partnership is accounted for
by the equity method.
 
  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--The consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 1996 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited and, in the
opinion of management of the Company, include all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for those interim periods. The results of operations for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
 
  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT--Depreciation is computed using accelerated and
straight-line methods over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and
improvements, 31.5 years; equipment, 3-12 years.
 
  GOODWILL--Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price of certain
subsidiaries over the fair value of net assets acquired and is amortized on a
straight-line basis over ten years. Accumulated amortization was $141,608 at
September 30, 1996.
 
  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE--Effective October 1, 1995, the Company began
capitalizing customer acquisition costs. Costs, net of revenues received for
the initial transfer of the records, related to the acquisition of large
volume accounts (accounts consisting of 5,000 or more cartons) are capitalized
and amortized over the life of the related contract (currently ranging from
three to five years). Management believes such treatment to be preferable
because it conforms with prevalent industry practice. As of September 30,
1996, acquisition costs of $522,950 have been capitalized, including $105,600
capitalized in the three months ended December 31, 1995; accumulated
amortization totaled $78,045 at September 30, 1996.
 
2. ACQUISITION
 
  Effective November 30, 1995, the Company acquired all of the records storage
business of McClatchy Business Archives ("McClatchy") of Houston, Texas, for
$300,000 in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price
included $150,000 in cash and a $150,000 note payable to the seller (see Note
6).

3. UNCONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIP
 
  The Company owns a 50% partnership interest in Certified Document
Destruction of Illinois ("CDDI"). CDDI provided document destruction services
to the Company and others until it sold its business to Crown Recycling &
Waste Services, Inc. ("Crown") effective September 30, 1996 for approximately
$500,000. The Company's 50% share of the gain recognized on the sale was
$53,581 and its 50% share of CDDI's operating loss for fiscal year 1996 was
$48,747. In connection with the sale agreement, the Company agreed to provide
at least 15 million pounds of material for destruction or disposal by Crown
during the five-year period ending September 30, 2001 for a total cost, based
on current market prices, of approximately $600,000.
 
4. DISPOSAL OF GEORGIA DIVISION
 
  The Company closed the Georgia division effective September 30, 1996.
Existing assets will be transferred to other divisions. Property rental
agreements were terminated and approximately $225,000 was accrued at September
30, 1996 for these and other costs.

6. DEBT
 
  Effective December 1, 1995, the Company entered into a $2,000,000 secured
term loan (the "Term Loan") agreement and a $1,200,000 secured revolving line
of credit agreement (the "Line") with a bank. The Term Loan and the Line
(collectively, the "Loans") bear interest due monthly at the prime rate plus
1%. The Term Loan also requires monthly principal payments of $11,111. All
unpaid principal is due February 1, 1997. At September 30, 1996, total
outstanding borrowings were $3,000,001.
 
  The Term Loan is secured by first mortgages on certain real estate owned by

agreement and a $1,500,000 secured revolving line of credit agreement bearing

unpaid principal of both loans is due June 30, 1998. The Term Loan is secured
by certain equipment of the Company. The Line is secured by the Company's
accounts receivable. The loans are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted.
 
  In December 1996, the Company issued another option to the president of the
Company to purchase 4,993 shares at $12.00 per share. This option expires

The accompanying pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996
and the related pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year then
ended gives effect to the acquisition of Records Management Services, Inc.
("RMS"), as described in Note 2, as if this transaction had occurred as of
December 31, 1996, in the case of the pro forma consolidated balance sheet, and
as of January 1, 1996, in the case of the pro forma consolidated statement of
operations.

It should be noted that the year end of Pierce Leahy Corp. (the "Company") is
December 31.  Therefore, the Company's historical information relates to the
year ended December 31, 1996.  The corresponding period for RMS is the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1996.

The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 
management of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company, which have been previously
filed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the
historical financial statements of RMS, which are included elsewhere in this
Form 8-K. The pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on certain
assumptions and preliminary estimates which are subject to change. These
statements do no purport to be indicative of the consolidated financial position
or results of operations of the Company that might have occurred, nor are they
indicative of future results.

1. HISTORICAL:
   -----------

The historical balances of Pierce Leahy Corp. and its majority-owned subsidiary,
Pierce Leahy Command Company (together, the "Company"), represent the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and the consolidated results
of operations for the year then ended as reported in the consolidated financial
statements which have been previously filed in the Company's Form 10-K.

2.  ACQUISITION OF RECORDS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC.:
    -------------------------------------------------

On April 2, 1997, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Records
Management Services, Inc. ("RMS").  Total consideration paid at closing by the
Company was approximately $62,000,000, including the repayment of certain debt
of RMS. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Under this method the purchase price is allocated to the assets and
liabilities of RMS based on the fair values at the acquisition date. Such
allocation has been based on estimates that may be revised at a later date. The
purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by
approximately $48,508,000, which has been recorded as goodwill and will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years.

The historical balances for RMS were derived from the historical balance sheet
as of September 30, 1996 and the statement of operations for the year then
ended, which are included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

The following pro forma adjustments for the acquisition of RMS are reflected in
the pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and the pro
forma consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended:

Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments to Consolidated Balance Sheet-

a. To record the step-up to the estimated fair value of land ($400,000),
   warehouse equipment ($7,000,000), and buildings ($3,100,000).

b. Intangible assets of goodwill ($48,508,000), noncompete agreement
   ($2,000,000), and other intangibles ($510,000) result from the preliminary
   allocation of the purchase price.  These intangibles are subject to
   adjustment based on the final allocation of the purchase price to the net
   assets acquired.  Also, pre-existing intangibles ($644,000) and deferred 
   income tax benefits ($380,000) were not allocated value in purchase
   accounting.

                                      -16-

c. Reflects the Company's borrowing of $62,000,000 on its U.S. Revolver to fund
   the acquisition of RMS and the repayment of debt of RMS of $4,331,000.

d. Reset the historical equity accounts of RMS.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations-

e. To record amortization expense of $1,973,000 relating to goodwill, noncompete
   agreement, and other intangible assets based upon the estimated useful lives
   of each intangible, plus depreciation expense of $474,000 relating to the
   step-up in the value of warehouse equipment and buildings.

f. To record additional interest expense on the $62,000,000 of borrowings to
   fund the aquisition at a weighted average interest rate of approximately
   8.3%.
