                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

    On February 1, 2000, Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
("Old Iron Mountain"), acquired Pierce Leahy Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation
("Pierce Leahy"). Because the transaction was structured as a reverse merger,
Old Iron Mountain merged with and into Pierce Leahy, and Pierce Leahy survived
the merger. Immediately after the merger, Pierce Leahy changed its name from
Pierce Leahy Corp. to Iron Mountain Incorporated ("Iron Mountain," the "Company"
or "we"). Based on the number of shares of Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy
common stock outstanding, immediately after the merger former stockholders of
Old Iron Mountain owned approximately 65% of the Company's Common Stock. Because
of this share ownership, Old Iron Mountain is considered the acquiring entity
for accounting purposes, and the Company adopted Old Iron Mountain's financial
statements as its own upon the completion of the merger. In connection with the
merger, Old Iron Mountain's Board of Directors and top executive officers became
the Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company, except that J.
Peter Pierce and Howard D. Ross were also elected Directors, J. Peter Pierce
became the President of the
<PAGE>
Company and David S. Wendell became the Senior Vice President of the Company. In
order to provide comprehensive disclosure, items in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K containing historical information include disclosures for both Old
Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy.

              CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    We have made statements in this annual report on Form 10-K that constitute
"forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the federal securities
laws. These forward-looking statements concern the operations, economic
performance and financial condition of Iron Mountain. The forward-looking
statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates,"
"estimates" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.

    Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on

      and Pierce Leahy;

    - our significant indebtedness and the cost and availability of financing
      for contemplated growth;

    - the cost and availability of appropriate storage facilities;

    - changes in customer preferences and demand for our services;

    - rapid and significant changes in technology;

    - intense competition in the industry; and

    - other general economic and business conditions.

    These cautionary statements should not be construed by you to be exhaustive,
and they are made only as of the date of this report. You should read these
cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements
wherever they appear. We assume no obligation to update or revise the
forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could
differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

A. DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.

    Iron Mountain is the leading records and information management services
("RIMS") company. The Company is an international, full-service provider of
records and information management and related services, enabling customers to
outsource these functions. Iron Mountain has a diversified customer base, which
includes more than half of the Fortune 500 and numerous commercial, legal,
banking, healthcare, accounting, insurance, entertainment and government
organizations. The Company provides storage for all major media, including
paper, which is the dominant form of records storage, magnetic media, including
computer tapes, microfilm and microfiche, master audio and video tapes, film and
optical disks, X-rays and blueprints. Iron Mountain's principal services
provided to its storage customers include courier pick-up and delivery, filing,
retrieval and destruction of records, database management, customized reporting
and disaster recovery support. The Company also sells storage materials,
including cardboard boxes and magnetic media, and provides consulting,
facilities management, fulfillment and other outsourcing services.

    On February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain completed its acquisition of Pierce
Leahy in a stock-for-stock merger valued at approximately $1.1 billion,
including the assumption of debt and related transaction costs. Pierce Leahy was
one of Old Iron Mountain's largest competitors in the RIMS industry, with a
particular focus on business records storage and related services. The Company
is in the process of integrating the operations and headquarters functions of
Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy on a "best practices" basis. During fiscal
years 2000 and 2001, the Company expects to integrate overhead and support
functions and to begin combining field operations, with the goal of full
integration within three years of the merger. Management expects the Company
will realize an estimated $15 million in annual operating cost savings within
three years after the merger.

    As of March 1, 2000, the Company provided services to over 100,000 customer
accounts in 77 domestic markets in the United States and to over 15,000 customer
accounts in 30 markets outside the United States. Iron Mountain's domestic
operations employ about 7,400 people and operate nearly 500 facilities, while
outside the United States, the Company employs approximately 1,500 people and
operates approximately 90 facilities.

B. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

THE RECORDS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES INDUSTRY

OVERVIEW

    Companies in the RIMS industry store and manage information in a variety of
media formats, which can broadly be divided into paper and electronic records,
and provide a wide range of services related to the records stored. The Company
refers to its general paper storage and management services as "business records
management." Medical records constitute a large and growing specialty subset
within the paper records market. Paper records are defined to include paper
documents, as well as all other non-electronic media such as microfilm and
microfiche, master audio and video tapes, film, X-rays and blueprints. Based on
publicly available information, organizations in the United States generate an
estimated four trillion documents each year, many of which must be retained and
available for reference for many years. Electronic records primarily include
computer tapes and optical disks. The Company refers to its electronic records
storage and management services as "data security services."

PAPER RECORDS

    Paper records may be broadly divided into two categories: active and
inactive. Active records relate to ongoing and recently completed activities or
contain information that is frequently referenced. Active

                                       1
<PAGE>
records are usually stored and managed on-site by the organization that
originated them to ensure ready availability. Inactive paper records are the
principal focus of the RIMS industry. Inactive records consist of those records
that are not needed for immediate access but which must be retained for legal,
regulatory and compliance reasons or for occasional reference in support of
ongoing business operations. Based on industry studies, the Company believes
that inactive records make up approximately 80% of all paper records.

ELECTRONIC RECORDS

    Electronic records management focuses on the storage of, and related
services for, computer media that are either archival in nature or a back-up
copy of recently processed data. Archival data is generally not needed for
access but is retained for legal, regulatory and compliance reasons or for
occasional reference in support of ongoing business operations. Back-up data
exists because of the need of many businesses to maintain back-up copies of data
in order to be able to operate in the event of a system failure, casualty loss
or other disaster. It is customary for data processing groups to rotate back-up
tapes to off-site locations on a regular basis and to require multiple copies of
such information at multiple sites.

GROWTH OF MARKET

    The Company believes that the volume of stored paper and electronic records
will continue to increase for a number of reasons, including: (i) the rapid
growth of inexpensive document producing technologies such as facsimile and
desktop printing, (ii) the continued proliferation of data processing
technologies such as personal computers and networks, (iii) increased regulatory
requirements, (iv) concerns over possible future litigation and the resulting
increases in volume and holding periods of documentation, (v) the high cost of
reviewing records and deciding whether to retain or destroy them, (vi) the
failure of many entities to adopt or follow policies on records destruction and
(vii) audit requirements to keep back-up copies of certain records in off-site
locations.

    Despite the growth of new "paperless" technologies, such as the Internet and
e-mail, management believes that stored information remains predominantly
paper-based and that such technologies have promoted the creation of hard copies
of such electronic information. In addition, management believes that the
proliferation of digital information technologies and distributed data networks
has led to increased demand for data security services, such as the storage and
off-site rotation of back-up copies of magnetic media, and outsourcing support
services that address the needs of data center operations and disaster recovery
programs.

HIGHLY FRAGMENTED INDUSTRY

    Most RIMS companies serve a single local market, and are often either
owner-operated or ancillary to another business, such as a moving and storage
company. According to Professional Records and Information Services Management
("PRISM"), a trade group of approximately 530 members, as of December 31, 1998,
approximately 3,300 firms offered records and information management services in
the United States. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make,
acquisitions of its competitors, many of whom are small, single city operators.

INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION

    Over the past several years, there has been consolidation in the RIMS
industry. The Company believes that this trend will continue because of the
industry's capital requirements for growth, opportunities for large RIMS
providers to achieve economies of scale and customer demands for more
sophisticated technology-based solutions. In particular, the RIMS business
requires significant up-front capital investment for real estate, racking
systems and management information technology.

    Management believes that the consolidation trend in the industry is also due
to, and will continue as a result of, the preference of certain large
organizations to contract with one vendor in multiple cities for

                                       2
<PAGE>
multiple services. In particular, customers increasingly demand a single, large,
sophisticated company to handle all of their important medical, electronic and
vital records needs. Large, national companies are better able to satisfy these
demands than smaller competitors.

FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF IRON MOUNTAIN'S BUSINESS

    Iron Mountain's business has the following financial characteristics:

    - RECURRING REVENUES. Iron Mountain derives a majority of its consolidated
      revenues from fixed periodic, usually monthly, fees charged to customers
      based on the volume of records stored. Revenues from these fixed periodic
      fees have grown for 44 consecutive quarters in the case of Old Iron
      Mountain and 33 consecutive quarters in the case of Pierce Leahy. Once a
      customer places paper records in storage with the Company and until those
      records are destroyed or permanently removed, for which the Company
      typically receives a service fee, the Company receives recurring payments
      for storage fees without incurring additional labor or marketing expenses
      or significant capital costs. Similarly, contracts for the storage of
      electronic media consist primarily of fixed monthly payments. The stable
      and growing storage base also provides the foundation for increases in
      revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
      extraordinary items, other income and merger-related expenses ("EBITDA")
      from related service activities and sales of storage materials.
      Merger-related expenses are primarily those expenses directly related to
      the merger of Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy that cannot be
      capitalized and include costs of exiting certain facilities, certain
      severance and pay-to-stay payments, certain system conversion costs and
      other transaction-related costs (some of the aforementioned costs may be
      reported separately as restructuring charges).

    - HISTORICALLY NON-CYCLICAL BUSINESS. Iron Mountain has not experienced a
      reduction of its business as a result of past general economic downturns,
      although the Company can give no assurance that this would be the case in
      the future. Management believes that the outsourcing of RIMS may
      accelerate during economic downturns as companies focus on reducing costs
      through outsourcing non-core operating functions. In addition, management
      believes that companies that have outsourced RIMS are less likely during
      economic downturns to incur the move-out costs and other expenses
      associated with switching vendors or moving RIMS in-house.

    - INHERENT GROWTH FROM EXISTING PAPER RECORDS CUSTOMERS. The Company's paper
      records customers have on average generated additional Cartons(1) at a
      faster rate than stored Cartons have been destroyed or permanently
      removed. From January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1999, the combined Net
      Carton Growth From Existing Customers(2) of each of Old Iron Mountain and
      Pierce Leahy increased at an average annual rate of approximately 6%. The
      Company believes the consistent growth of its paper storage revenues is
      the result of a number of factors, including: (i) the trend toward
      increased records retention, (ii) customer satisfaction with the Company's
      services and (iii) the costs and inconvenience of moving storage
      operations in-house or to another provider of RIMS.

    - DIVERSIFIED AND STABLE CUSTOMER BASE. As of March 1, 2000, the Company had
      over 115,000 customer accounts in a variety of industries. The Company
      currently provides services to more than half of the Fortune 500 and
      numerous commercial, legal, banking, healthcare, accounting, insurance,
      entertainment and government organizations. No customer of either Old Iron
      Mountain or Pierce

- ------------------------

(1)   The term "Carton" is defined as a measurement of volume equal to a single
     standard storage carton, approximately 1.2 cubic feet. The number of
    cartons stored does not include storage volumes in the Company's vital
    records services and data security services, which are described below.

(2)   The term "Net Carton Growth From Existing Customers" is defined as the
     increase in net Cartons attributable to existing customers without giving
    effect to the loss of approximately 1.0 million Cartons in fires attributed
    to arson in March 1997 in two of Old Iron Mountain's facilities in South
    Brunswick Township, New Jersey. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings."

                                       3
<PAGE>
      Leahy accounted for more than 2% of its consolidated revenues for the year
      ended December 31, 1999. From January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1999,
      average annual permanent removals of Cartons represented only
      approximately 4% of total Cartons stored for each of Old Iron Mountain and
      Pierce Leahy.

    - CAPITAL EXPENDITURES RELATED PRIMARILY TO GROWTH. The Company's RIMS
      business requires limited annual capital expenditures made in order to
      maintain the Company's current revenue stream. Historically, over 90% of
      each of Old Iron Mountain's and Pierce Leahy's aggregate capital
      expenditures were growth-related investments, primarily in racking
      systems, management information systems, new buildings and improvements to
      existing facilities. These growth-related capital expenditures are
      primarily discretionary and create additional capacity for increases in
      revenues and EBITDA.

GROWTH STRATEGY

    The Company's domestic objective is to be one of the largest RIMS providers
in each of its geographic markets and to maintain its position as the largest
national RIMS provider. The Company's international objective is to continue to
capitalize on its expertise in the RIMS industry and to make additional
acquisitions and investments in international markets. The Company seeks to
expand through: (i) increased business with existing customers, including the
provision of new services, (ii) additions of new customers and (iii) selective
acquisitions in existing and new markets.

GROWTH FROM EXISTING CUSTOMERS

    Existing Iron Mountain customers storing paper records contribute to storage
and services revenues growth because on average they generate additional Cartons
at a faster rate than old Cartons are destroyed or permanently removed. In order
to maximize growth opportunities from existing customers, the Company seeks to
maintain high levels of customer retention by providing premium customer service
through its decentralized customer service approach complemented by its local
management staff.

    Through its local account management staff, the Company leverages existing
business relationships with its customers by selling complementary services and
products. Services include records tracking, indexing, customized reporting,
vital records management and consulting services.

ADDITIONS OF NEW CUSTOMERS

    The Company's sales force is dedicated to establishing new account
relationships and servicing existing customer accounts and draws on the
Company's national marketing organization and senior management. As a result of
acquisitions and the Company's decision to increase its sales force by
recruiting additional qualified sales professionals, from December 31, 1997
through March 1, 2000, the Company increased the size of its sales force from
approximately 150 (giving effect to the sales forces of Old Iron Mountain and
Pierce Leahy on a combined basis) to approximately 250 sales professionals.

GROWTH THROUGH DOMESTIC ACQUISITIONS

    The Company's acquisition strategy includes both expanding geographically,
focusing primarily on the 100 largest U.S. markets, and increasing the Company's
presence and scale within existing markets through "fold-in" acquisitions. Both
Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy have successful records of acquiring and
integrating smaller RIMS companies. See "Completed and Pending Acquisitions."
The Company intends to continue its domestic acquisition program. However, given
the small number of large acquisition prospects and the Company's increased
revenue base, future acquisitions are expected to be less significant to overall
domestic revenue growth than they have been historically. The Company's
corporate development staff is engaged in an ongoing review of acquisition
candidates.

                                       4
<PAGE>
    The Company seeks to acquire RIMS companies in markets where management
believes there is the potential for growth and where the high start-up costs of
commencing operations make acquisitions an attractive means of entering new
markets. Following a new-market acquisition, the Company seeks to increase its
business with the acquired customer base and to supplement that growth with new
customers and, potentially, with appropriate fold-in acquisitions.

    The Company's goal in its existing markets is to exploit economies of scale
while maintaining high quality service. The Company has proven its ability to
successfully reduce the cost structure of its acquired operations. Certain of
these cost savings, including labor reductions and certain general and
administrative costs, are generally obtained within 12 months of an acquisition.
Other cost savings, including occupancy costs, may take longer to achieve. The
Company's goal is to achieve substantially all of the targeted cost savings
within 24 months of an acquisition.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH STRATEGY

    Iron Mountain also intends to continue to make acquisitions and investments
in RIMS businesses outside the United States. The Company has acquired and
invested in, and seeks to acquire and invest in, RIMS companies in countries,
and, more specifically, markets within such countries, where it believes there
is the potential for growth. From January 1, 1999 through March 1, 2000, Old
Iron Mountain, Pierce Leahy and the Company, directly and through joint
ventures, entered Europe and Mexico and expanded operations in Latin America and
Canada. These transactions have taken, and may continue to take, the form of
acquisitions of the entire business or controlling or minority investments, with
a long-term goal towards eventual full ownership. In addition to the criteria
the Company uses to evaluate domestic acquisition candidates, Iron Mountain also
evaluates the presence in the potential market of existing Iron Mountain clients
as well as the risks uniquely associated with an international investment,
including those risks described below.

    The experience, depth and strength of local management are particularly
important in Iron Mountain's international acquisition strategy. As a result,
Iron Mountain has formed joint ventures with, or acquired significant interests
from, target businesses throughout Europe and Latin America. Iron Mountain
believes this strategy, rather than an outright acquisition, may, in certain
markets, better position the Company to expand the existing business, although
the Company's long-term goal is to eventually acquire full ownership of each
such business. The local partner will benefit from Iron Mountain's expertise in
the RIMS industry and, in certain cases, Iron Mountain's technology, and Iron
Mountain will benefit from its local partner's relationships with customers and
its presence in the community.

    As Old Iron Mountain did in Europe and Pierce Leahy did in Canada, the
Company intends to continue to make fold-in acquisitions to augment its
operations in international markets. Fold-in acquisitions will be done directly
by Iron Mountain or through the local joint venture, depending in part on
whether Iron Mountain's initial investment was an acquisition or a joint
venture. As with domestic acquisitions, the Company believes that with
appropriate fold-in acquisitions it can benefit from economies of scale.

    Iron Mountain's international investments are subject to risks and
uncertainties relating to the indigenous political, social, regulatory, tax and
economic structures of other countries, as well as fluctuations in currency
valuation, exchange controls, expropriation and governmental policies limiting
returns to foreign investors. At this time, there can be no assurance as to
whether any international investment will be successful in achieving its
objectives.

    The amount of revenues from international operations for Old Iron Mountain
and Pierce Leahy for fiscal year 1999 is set forth in Note 12 to Notes to Iron
Mountain's Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 13 to Notes to Pierce
Leahy's Consolidated Financial Statements. During 1999, Old Iron Mountain and
Pierce Leahy derived approximately 6% and 17%, respectively, of their revenues
from outside of the United States.

COMPLETED AND PENDING ACQUISITIONS

MERGER OF OLD IRON MOUNTAIN AND PIERCE LEAHY

    On February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain acquired Pierce Leahy. Because the
transaction was structured as a reverse merger, Old Iron Mountain merged with
and into Pierce Leahy and Pierce Leahy survived the merger. Immediately after
the merger the Company changed its name from Pierce Leahy Corp. to Iron Mountain
Incorporated.

    As a result of the merger, each share of Old Iron Mountain common stock was
converted into one share of Common Stock of the Company and each share of Pierce
Leahy common stock continued to remain outstanding. The aggregate merger
consideration was valued at approximately $1.1 billion including assumption of
debt and related transaction costs. No cash consideration was paid in the
merger. Prior to the merger, Pierce Leahy had declared a one-for-ten stock
dividend on its common stock. Based on the number of shares of Old Iron Mountain
and Pierce Leahy common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of
the merger, immediately after the merger former stockholders of Old Iron
Mountain owned approximately 65% of the Company's Common Stock, while Pierce
Leahy stockholders owned approximately 35%. Because of this share ownership, Old
Iron Mountain is considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes, and
the Company adopted Old Iron Mountain's financial statements as its own upon the
completion of the merger.

    Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy were the two largest national providers
of RIMS services prior to the merger. Before the merger, Old Iron Mountain
operated in 70 domestic and 17 international markets, and Pierce Leahy operated
in 60 domestic and 16 international markets. As a result of the merger, the two
companies combined operations in 53 domestic markets and the Company now serves
a total of 77 domestic markets. The two companies' international markets were
largely complementary and only overlapped in three markets, so that the Company
now serves 30 international markets.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION

    As part of their growth strategies, from January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 1999, Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy acquired 50 and 37 RIMS
businesses, respectively. Old Iron Mountain and the Company have acquired a
total of two additional companies (excluding the merger of Old Iron Mountain and
Pierce Leahy) through March 1, 2000, and the Company has entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire Data Storage Centers, Inc. ("DSC").

    The following table presents certain information with respect to the
acquisitions completed by Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy on a combined basis
between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 1999. All dollar amounts presented are
in millions.

     Iron Mountain's acquisition of a 50.1% interest in Iron Mountain Europe
     Limited ("Iron Mountain Europe") (formerly known as Britannia Data
     Management Limited).

    In addition, in November 1999, Old Iron Mountain sold substantially all of
the assets of Arcus Staffing Resources, Inc. ("Arcus Staffing"), its information
technology staffing ("IT Staffing") business. Old Iron Mountain had acquired the
IT Staffing business in January 1998 as part of its acquisition of Arcus
Group, Inc. ("Arcus Group"). Old Iron Mountain's 1998 and 1999 financial
statements have been restated to show the classification of the IT Staffing
business as a discontinued operation.

PENDING ACQUISITION

    On February 18, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with DSC and
Suddath Van Lines, Inc. to acquire substantially all of the assets of DSC. As a
result, the Company will acquire the RIMS business of DSC, and will also lease
or sublease from DSC, or assume DSC's leases with regard to, certain related
real estate. At closing, the Company will pay aggregate consideration of
approximately $54 million in cash in connection with the DSC acquisition,
including payments to certain officers as consideration for non-competition
covenants. The closing of the DSC acquisition is subject to customary conditions
and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2000, although no assurance
can be given that it will be completed.

    Management believes that DSC is a premier provider of business records
management services and data security services, serving over 2,700 customers. As
of February 18, 2000, DSC, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, operated in
14 markets located primarily in the southeastern United States. DSC had
annualized revenues of approximately $19 million based on its results for the
fourth quarter of 1999.

DESCRIPTION OF IRON MOUNTAIN'S BUSINESS

BUSINESS RECORDS MANAGEMENT

    The business records stored by the Company's customers with the Company by
their nature are not very active. These types of records are stored in cartons,
which are packed by the customer. The Company uses bar-coded tracking systems
known as SAFEKEEPER-TM- and PIERCE LEAHY USER SOLUTION-Registered Trademark-
(PLUS-Registered Trademark-) and other procedures to ensure the integrity of the
contents of a customer's cartons and to efficiently store and later retrieve a
customer's cartons. Storage charges are generally billed monthly on a per
storage unit basis, usually either per carton or per cubic foot of records, and
include the provision of space, racking, computerized inventory and activity
tracking and physical security.

DATA SECURITY SERVICES

    Data security services consist of the storage and rotation of back-up and
archival computer media as part of corporate disaster and business recovery
plans. Computer tapes, cartridges and disk packs are transported off-site by the
Company's courier operations on a scheduled basis to secure, climate-controlled
facilities, where they are available to customers 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year, to facilitate data recovery in the event of a disaster. Iron Mountain's
MEDIALINK-TM- software manages this process. Iron Mountain also manages tape
library relocation and supports disaster recovery testing and execution.

HEALTHCARE INFORMATION SERVICES

    Healthcare information services principally include the handling, storage,
filing, processing and retrieval of medical records used by hospitals, private
practitioners and other medical institutions. Medical records tend to be more
active in nature and are typically stored on specialized shelving systems that
provide access to individual files. Healthcare information services also include
recurring project work and ancillary services. Recurring project work involves
the on-site removal of aged patient files and related computerized file
indexing. Ancillary healthcare information services include release of
information, temporary staffing, contract coding, facilities management and
imaging.

VITAL RECORDS SERVICES

    Vital records contain critical or irreplaceable data such as master audio
and video recordings, film, software source code and other highly proprietary
information. Vital records may require special facilities or services, either
because of the data they contain or the media on which they are recorded. The
Company's charges for providing enhanced security and special climate-controlled
environments for vital records are higher than for typical storage functions.
The Company provides the same ancillary services for vital records as it
provides for its other storage operations.

SERVICE AND COURIER OPERATIONS

    Service and courier operations include adding records to storage, temporary
removal of records from storage, refiling of removed records, permanent
withdrawals from storage and destruction of records. Service charges are
generally assessed for each procedure on a per unit basis. The SAFEKEEPER and
PLUS systems control the service processes from order entry through
transportation and invoicing.

    Courier operations consist primarily of the pickup and delivery of records
upon customer request. Charges for courier services are based on urgency of
delivery, volume and location and are billed monthly. As of March 1, 2000, Iron
Mountain was utilizing a fleet of more than 1,600 owned or leased delivery
vehicles.

                                       9
<PAGE>
ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND PRODUCTS

    Iron Mountain offers a variety of additional services, which customers may
request or contract for on an individual basis. These services include
inventorying records, packing records into cartons or other containers, and
creating computerized indexes of files and individual documents. The Company
also provides services for the management of active records programs. The
Company can provide these services, which generally include document and file
processing and storage, both off-site at its own facilities and by supplying its
own personnel to perform management functions on-site at the customer's
premises.

    Other complementary lines of business operated by the Company include
fulfillment services and confidential document destruction. Fulfillment services
are performed by the Company's COMAC division. The division stores customer
marketing literature and delivers this material to sales offices, trade shows
and prospective customers' sites based on current and prospective customer
orders. COMAC also assembles custom marketing packages and orders, manages and
provides detailed reporting on customer marketing literature inventories.

    Confidential document destruction involves the shredding of sensitive
documents for corporate customers that, in many cases, also use the Company's
services for management of less sensitive archival records. These services
typically include the scheduled pick-up of loose office records accumulated by
customers in specially designed containers provided by Iron Mountain. The
Company currently performs these services in five of its markets and seeks to
expand its presence in this business through acquisitions and internal
start-ups.

    In addition, the Company provides professional consulting services to large
customers, enabling them to develop and implement comprehensive records and
information management programs. Iron Mountain's consulting business draws on
the Company's experience in RIMS to analyze the practices of such companies and
assist them in creating more effective programs of records and information
management. The Company's consultants work with these customers to develop
policies for document review, analysis and evaluation and for scheduling of
document retention and destruction.

    The Company also sells a full line of specially designed corrugated
cardboard, metal and plastic storage containers and magnetic media products.

    Iron Mountain is exploring opportunities to leverage its customer
relationships, geographic presence and brand image to provide additional
information management systems for digital records. The growth rate of mission
critical digital information is accelerating, driven in part by the use of the
Internet as a distribution and transaction medium. The rising cost and
increasing importance of digital information management, coupled with the
increasing availability of telecommunications bandwidth at lower costs, may
create meaningful opportunities for Iron Mountain. The Company is evaluating
opportunities to partner with technology providers to develop a number of
applications.

CUSTOMERS

    The Company's customer base is diversified in terms of revenues and industry
concentration. Iron Mountain tracks customer accounts, which are based on
invoices. Accordingly, depending upon how many invoices have been arranged at
the request of a customer, one organization may represent multiple customer
accounts. As of March 1, 2000, the Company had over 100,000 domestic and over
15,000 international customer accounts in a variety of industries. The Company
currently provides services to more than half of the Fortune 500 and numerous
commercial, legal, banking, healthcare, accounting, insurance, entertainment and
government organizations. No customer accounted for more than 2% of either Old
Iron Mountain's or Pierce Leahy's consolidated revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>
COMPETITION; ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY

    The Company competes with its current and potential customers' internal
records and information management services capabilities. The Company can
provide no assurance that these organizations will begin or continue to use an
outside company such as Iron Mountain for their future records and information
management services.

    The Company competes with multiple RIMS providers in all geographic areas
where it operates. Iron Mountain believes that competition for customers is
based on price, reputation for reliability, quality of service and scope and
scale of technology and that it generally competes effectively based on these
factors.

    Iron Mountain also competes with other RIMS providers for companies to
acquire. Some of the Company's competitors possess greater financial and other
resources than Iron Mountain. If any such competitor were to devote additional
resources to the RIMS business and such acquisition candidates or focus its
strategy on Iron Mountain's markets, Iron Mountain's results of operations could
be adversely affected.

    Iron Mountain derives most of its revenues from the storage of paper
documents and related services. This storage requires significant physical
space. Alternative storage technologies exist, many of which require
significantly less space than paper. These technologies include computer media,
microform, CD-ROM and optical disk. To date, none of these technologies has
replaced paper as the principal means for storing information. However, the
Company can provide no assurance that its customers will continue to store most
of their records in paper format. A significant shift by Iron Mountain's
customers to storage of data through non-paper based technologies, whether now
existing or developed in the future, would adversely affect the Company's
business.

EMPLOYEES

    A key feature of the Company's operating strategy is its decentralized
management structure and empowerment of local management operating in local
business environments. The Company is divided into geographic Areas, Regions and
Districts. Generally, Areas are managed by Executive Vice Presidents, Regions
are managed by Vice Presidents and Districts are managed by General Managers.
The Company's international operations are managed by operating personnel
located in the particular country. The Company's headquarters staff performs a
variety of central administrative and support functions in order to maximize the
time and resources that local personnel can devote to customer service and
client development.

    The Company's selling organization, which includes approximately 250 sales
professionals, consists of telemarketing, direct sales and account management,
all supported by a corporate marketing group. Telemarketing sales people use
advanced database telemarketing techniques to identify and source account leads.
Leads are pursued by the direct sales force, which is comprised of local sales
representatives and regional and national account managers. Once an account is
established, it is assigned to an account manager, who focuses on serving the
needs of new and existing customers and selling additional services to this
customer base. The corporate marketing organization provides training and
marketing communications as sales support functions.

    As of March 1, 2000, the Company domestically employed about 7,400 full-time
employees. Directly and through majority-owned joint ventures, as of March 1,
2000, the Company employed approximately 1,500 full-time employees outside of
the United States.

    A small percentage of the Company's employees are represented by unions.
These unionized employees are located in California, one city in Canada and in
the United Kingdom. As of March 1, 2000, the aggregate number of unionized
employees was less than 300.

                                       11
<PAGE>
    All domestic non-union employees are eligible to participate in the
Company's benefit programs, which include medical, dental, life, short and
long-term disability and accidental death and dismemberment plans. Unionized
employees receive these types of benefits through their unions. In addition to
base compensation and other usual benefits, all full-time domestic employees
participate in some form of incentive-based compensation program that provides
payments based on profits, collections or attainment of specified objectives for
the unit in which they work. Management believes that the Company has good
relationships with its employees and unions. International employees participate
in separate benefit and incentive-based compensation programs.

INSURANCE

    For strategic risk transfer purposes, the Company maintains a comprehensive
insurance program with insurers that it believes to be reputable and in amounts
that it believes to be appropriate. Property insurance is purchased on an
all-risk basis, including flood and earthquake, subject to certain sublimits and
deductibles, and inclusive of the replacement cost of real and personal
property, including leasehold improvements, business income loss and extra
expense. Separate policies for California earthquake exposures are maintained at
what the Company believes to be appropriate limits and deductibles for that
exposure. Included among other types of insurance carried by Iron Mountain are:
Workers Compensation, General, Umbrella, Automobile, and Directors and Officers
policies.

    The Company's standard form of storage contract sets forth an agreed maximum
valuation for each carton or other storage unit held by the Company, which
serves as a limitation of liability for loss or damage, as permitted under the
Uniform Commercial Code. In contracts containing such limits, such values are
nominal, and the Company believes that in typical circumstances its liability
would be so limited in the event of loss or damage to stored items for which the
Company may be held liable. However, some of the Company's agreements with large
volume accounts and some of the contracts assumed in the Company's acquisitions
contain no such limits or contain higher limits or supplemental insurance
arrangements. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" for a description of claims by
particular customers seeking to rescind their contracts, including limitations
on liability, as a result of the 1997 fires experienced at Old Iron Mountain's
South Brunswick Township, New Jersey facilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

    Some of the Company's current and formerly owned or operated properties were
previously used for industrial or other purposes that involved the use or
storage of hazardous substances or petroleum products or the generation and
disposal of hazardous wastes. In some instances these properties included the
operation of underground storage tanks or the presence of asbestos-containing
materials. The Company may be potentially liable for environmental costs or for
the failure to clean up contaminated properties, if any.

    The Company currently transfers a portion of its risk of financial loss due
to environmental matters by purchasing a Pollution Liability Insurance Policy,
which covers all owned and leased locations. Coverage is provided for both
liability and remediation exposures.

    In addition, at one of the Company's New Jersey facilities, certain
contamination has been discovered resulting from operations of the prior owner
thereof. The prior owner, which has agreed to be responsible for the cost of
remediation, is completing remediation of the property under a consent order
with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The Company has
purchased an environmental liability insurance policy covering the cleanup costs
to the Company, if any, which it believes to be appropriate.

    The Company has from time to time conducted limited environmental
investigations and remedial activities at some of its former and current
facilities, but it has not undertaken an in-depth environmental review of all of
the Company's properties.

                                       12
<PAGE>
    Environmental conditions for which Iron Mountain might be liable may exist
at its properties or at properties that it may acquire in the future. In
addition, future regulatory action and environmental laws may impose costs for
environmental compliance that do not exist today.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

    As of March 1, 2000, Iron Mountain conducted operations through 479 leased
and 117 owned facilities containing a total of 36.8 million square feet of
space. The leased facilities typically have initial lease terms of ten years
with options to renew for an additional ten years. In addition, many of the
leases contain either a purchase option or a right of first refusal upon the
sale of the property. The Company's facilities are located throughout North
America, Latin America and Europe, with the largest numbers of facilities in
California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas,
Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company believes that the space available in
its facilities is adequate to meet its current needs. See Note 13 of Notes to
Old Iron Mountain's Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 7 of Notes to
Pierce Leahy's Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the
minimum annual rental commitments of Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy,
respectively.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

    In March 1997, Old Iron Mountain experienced three fires, all of which
authorities have determined were caused by arson. The fires resulted in damage
to one and destruction of Old Iron Mountain's other RIMS facility in South
Brunswick Township, New Jersey.

    Sixty-one of Old Iron Mountain's customers or their insurance carriers have
asserted claims as a consequence of the destruction of, or damage to, their
records as a result of the fires, including claims with specific requests for
compensation and allegations of negligence or other culpability on the part of
Old Iron Mountain. The Company and its insurers have denied any liability on the
part of Old Iron Mountain as to all of these claims.

    The Company is presently aware of six lawsuits that have been filed against
Old Iron Mountain by certain of its customers and/or their insurers, and of two
lawsuits filed by the insurers of abutters of the South Brunswick facility, all
alleging damages in unspecified amounts arising out of the fires. These lawsuits
were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey; the New
Jersey Superior Court, Middlesex County, Law Division; and the Supreme Court for
New York County, New York.

    Old Iron Mountain has denied liability, asserted affirmative defenses and,
in certain of the cases, moved for dismissal and asserted counterclaims for
indemnification against the plaintiffs. In February 2000, following a trial, the
United States District Court of New Jersey entered judgment in favor of Old Iron
Mountain on all counts in one of the customer lawsuits. Discovery is ongoing in
all remaining cases. The Company denies any liability as a result of the
destruction of, or damage to, customer records as a result of the fires, which
were beyond its control, and intends to vigorously defend itself against these
and any other lawsuits that may arise. The Company is also pursuing coverage of
these claims and proceedings with its various insurers.

    Old Iron Mountain was paid by its general liability and property insurance
carrier for costs incurred as a result of business interruption and property
damage due to the fires. However, Old Iron Mountain's errors and omissions
carrier made an initial determination denying coverage as to these claims. In
November 1998, Old Iron Mountain filed an action in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking a declaration of coverage and
other relief. The parties, together with the general liability and property
carrier, have reached a partial settlement for pre-June 30, 1999 defense costs
and continue to be in active negotiations to resolve all remaining coverage
issues.

    The outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted. Based on its present
assessment of the situation, after consultation with legal counsel, management
does not believe that the outcome of these

                                       13

proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations, although there can be no assurance in this
regard.

    In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is involved in
litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion
of management, no other material legal proceedings are pending to which the
Company, or any of its properties, is subject.

    There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of either Old
Iron Mountain or Pierce Leahy during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended

    The closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the NYSE on March 1, 2000
was $30.44. As of March 1, 2000, there were 826 holders of record of the
Company's Common Stock. The Company believes that there are more than 5,800
beneficial owners of the Company's Common Stock.

    The Company's Board of Directors (the "Company Board") currently intends to
retain future earnings, if any, for the development of the Company's businesses
and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Company's Common Stock in
the foreseeable future. Future determinations by the Company Board to pay
dividends on the Common Stock would be based primarily upon the financial
condition, results of operations and business requirements of the Company.
Dividends, if any, would be payable at the sole discretion of the Company Board
out of the funds legally available for that purpose. Some of the Company's
agreements pursuant to which the Company has borrowed funds contain provisions
that limit the amount of dividends and stock repurchases that the Company may
make.

    Neither Old Iron Mountain nor Pierce Leahy has paid dividends on its shares
of common stock, other than stock dividends, during the last two years.

(1) Represents pro forma earnings per share as if the preferred stock that was
    converted into Old Iron Mountain common stock in connection with Old Iron
    Mountain's initial public offering had been converted for all periods
    presented.

(2) Based on Old Iron Mountain's experience in the RIMS industry, management
    believes that EBITDA is an important tool for measuring the performance of
    RIMS companies (including potential acquisition targets) in several areas,
    such as liquidity, operating performance and leverage. In addition, lenders
    use EBITDA-based calculations as a criterion in evaluating RIMS companies,
    and substantially all of Old Iron Mountain's and the Company's financing
    agreements contain covenants in which EBITDA-based calculations are used as
    a measure of financial performance. However, EBITDA should not be considered
    an alternative to operating or net income (as determined in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")) as an indicator of Old
    Iron Mountain's performance or to cash flow from operations (as determined
    in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. See "Management's
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation--Old
    Iron Mountain--Overview" and "--Liquidity and Capital Resources" for
    discussions of other measures of performance determined in accordance with
    GAAP and Old Iron Mountain's sources and applications of cash flow.

(1) Merger-related expenses in 1999 are primarily those expenses directly
    related to the merger of Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy that cannot be
    capitalized and consist primarily of financial advisor, legal, accounting
    and consulting fees, SEC registration fees and other transaction-related
    costs.

(2) Until July 1, 1997, Pierce Leahy was taxed as a subchapter S corporation.
    Such status was terminated in connection with Pierce Leahy's 1997 initial
    public offering. The pro forma data indicates the basic and diluted net loss
    per common share as if Pierce Leahy had provided for income taxes for the
    entire 1997 period.

(3) Based on Pierce Leahy's experience in the RIMS industry, management believes
    that EBITDA (which was defined by Pierce Leahy as earnings before interest,
    taxes, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary charge, non-recurring
    charges, special compensation charge, consulting payments to related
    parties, merger-related expenses and foreign currency exchange) is an
    important tool for measuring the performance of RIMS companies (including
    potential acquisition targets) in several areas, such as liquidity,
    operating performance and leverage. In addition, lenders use EBITDA-based
    calculations as a criterion in evaluating RIMS companies, and substantially
    all of Pierce Leahy's financing agreements contained covenants in which
    EBITDA-based calculations were used as a measure of financial performance.
    However, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating or net
    income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of Pierce
    Leahy's performance or to cash flow from operations (as determined in
    accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. See "Management's
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
    Operation--Pierce Leahy--Overview" and "--Liquidity and Capital Resources"
    for discussions of other measures of performance determined in accordance
    with GAAP and Pierce Leahy's sources and applications of cash flow.

    This discussion contains "forward-looking statements" as that term is
defined in the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements concern
the operations, economic performance and financial condition of Iron Mountain.
The forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors.

    Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual
results may differ materially from our expectations. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others,
the following:

    - unanticipated costs as a result Old Iron Mountain's acquisition of Pierce
      Leahy;

    - difficulties related to the integration of acquisitions generally and,
      more specifically, the integration of the operations of Old Iron Mountain
      and Pierce Leahy;

    - our significant indebtedness and the cost and availability of financing
      for contemplated growth;

    - the cost and availability of appropriate storage facilities;

    - changes in customer preferences and demand for our services;

    - rapid and significant changes in technology;

    - intense competition in the industry; and

    - other general economic and business conditions.

A. OLD IRON MOUNTAIN

OVERVIEW

    Old Iron Mountain's primary financial objective has been to increase
consolidated EBITDA, which is a source of funds for investment in continued
internal growth and growth through acquisitions and to service indebtedness. Old
Iron Mountain has benefited from growth in consolidated EBITDA from continuing
operations, which has increased from $50.2 million for 1997 to $129.7 million
for 1999 (a compound annual growth rate of 60.7%). However, the pursuit of this
objective has negatively affected other measures of Old Iron Mountain's
financial performance, such as consolidated net income.

    For the years ended December 31, 1997 through 1999, Old Iron Mountain
experienced consolidated net losses. Old Iron Mountain attributes such losses in
part to significant charges associated with the pursuit of its growth strategy,
namely:

    - increases in depreciation expense associated with expansion of storage
      capacity;

    - increases in goodwill amortization associated with acquisitions accounted
      for under the purchase method; and

    - increases in interest expense associated with the borrowings used to fund
      acquisitions.

    In June 1999, in order to focus on its RIMS business, Old Iron Mountain
decided to sell its IT Staffing business, Arcus Staffing. Old Iron Mountain
acquired Arcus Staffing in January 1998 as part of its acquisition of Arcus
Group. Old Iron Mountain has accounted for the sale of Arcus Staffing as a loss
from discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of operations of Arcus
Staffing have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as a
separate line item on the consolidated statements of operations discussed in
Note 9 of Old Iron Mountain's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The

                                       20
<PAGE>
net loss on the sale of Arcus Staffing ($13.4 million) consists primarily of the
write-off of nondeductible goodwill.

    Old Iron Mountain's revenues consist of storage revenues as well as service
and storage material sales revenues. Storage revenues consist of periodic
charges related to the storage of materials (either on a per unit or per cubic
foot of records basis) and have accounted for approximately 60% of total
revenues in each of the last five years. In certain circumstances, based upon
customer requirements, storage revenues include periodic charges associated with
normal, recurring service activities. Service and storage material sales
revenues are comprised of charges for related service activities, the sale of
storage materials and courier operations. Courier operations consist primarily
of the pickup and delivery of records upon customer request. Related service
revenues arise from additions of new records, temporary removal of records from
storage, refiling of removed records, destructions of records, permanent
withdrawals from storage and sales of specially designed storage containers,
magnetic media, including computer tapes and related supplies. Customers are
generally billed on a monthly basis on contractually agreed-upon terms.

    Cost of sales (excluding depreciation) consists primarily of wages and
benefits for field personnel, facility occupancy costs, vehicle and other
equipment costs and supplies. Of these, wages and benefits and facility
occupancy costs are the most significant.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and
benefits for management, administrative, sales and marketing personnel, as well
as expenses related to travel, communications, professional fees, bad debts,
training, office equipment and supplies.

    Old Iron Mountain's depreciation and amortization charges result primarily
from the capital-intensive nature of its business and the acquisitions that Old
Iron Mountain has completed. The principal components of depreciation relate to
racking systems and related equipment, new buildings and leasehold improvements,
equipment for new facilities and computer system hardware and software.
Amortization relates primarily to goodwill arising from acquisitions and
customer acquisition costs. Old Iron Mountain has accounted for all of its
acquisitions under the purchase method. Since the purchase price for RIMS
companies is usually substantially in excess of the fair value of their net
assets, these purchases have given rise to significant goodwill and,
accordingly, significant levels of amortization. Although amortization is a
non-cash charge, it does decrease reported consolidated net income. Because
certain of Old Iron Mountain's acquisitions have given rise to nondeductible
goodwill, Old Iron Mountain's effective tax rate is higher than the statutory
rate.

    EBITDA is an important financial performance measure in the RIMS industry,
both for determining the value of companies within the industry and for defining
standards for borrowing from institutional lenders. Old Iron Mountain's EBITDA
margins from continuing operations were 24.1% for 1997, 25.0% for 1998 and 25.0%
for 1999. The adoption in 1999 of newly-issued Statement of Position 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), negatively impacted Old Iron Mountain's 1999 EBITDA
margin. Excluding the impact of SOP 98-1, Old Iron Mountain's EBITDA margin for
1999 would have been 25.6%. SOP 98-1 requires certain computer software costs
associated with internal use software (primarily data conversion costs), which
were previously capitalizable, to be expensed as incurred. Further, Old Iron
Mountain acquired 18 RIMS businesses in 1997, 15 in 1998 and 17 in 1999, most of
which had lower EBITDA margins than the rest of its business. Old Iron Mountain
generally did not realize anticipated synergies relating to such acquisitions
immediately. Nonetheless, Old Iron Mountain was able to increase its recent
EBITDA margins through improved overall operating efficiencies, economies of
scale and the realization of synergies in connection with earlier acquisitions.

    On February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain completed its acquisition of Pierce
Leahy in a stock-for-stock merger valued at approximately $1.1 billion,
including the assumption of debt and related transaction costs as discussed in
Note 17 of Notes to Old Iron Mountain's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pierce Leahy's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998
and 1999 are included elsewhere in this report.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

    Consolidated storage revenues increased $86.7 million, or 37.6%, to
$317.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $230.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998, primarily due to the completion of 32 acquisitions
during 1999 and 1998. Consolidated internal revenue growth was 10.9% and
resulted primarily from net increases in records and other media stored by
existing customers and from sales to new customers.

    Consolidated service and storage material sales revenues increased
$48.9 million, or 31.9%, to $202.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999
from $153.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, primarily due to
acquisitions. Internal revenue growth was 16.7% and resulted from increases in
service and storage material sales to existing customers and the addition of new
customer accounts.

    For the reasons discussed above, total consolidated revenues increased
$135.6 million, or 35.3%, to $519.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999
from $384.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Total internal revenue
growth was 13.2%.

    Consolidated cost of sales (excluding depreciation) increased
$68.8 million, or 35.8%, to $260.9 million (50.2% of consolidated revenues) for
the year ended December 31, 1999 from $192.1 million (50.0% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998. The dollar increase was
primarily attributable to the additional facility and personnel costs needed to
service the increase in records and other media stored.

                                       22
<PAGE>
    Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$33.1 million, or 34.5%, to $128.9 million (24.8% of consolidated revenues) for
the year ended December 31, 1999 from $95.9 million (25.0% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998. The dollar increase is primarily
attributable to:

    - the adoption, effective January 1, 1999, of SOP 98-1, which requires
      certain computer software costs associated with internal use software
      (primarily data conversion costs) that were previously capitalizable to be
      expensed as incurred ($3.3 million in 1999);

    - the addition of personnel and other overhead costs related primarily to
      the acquisitions of First American Records Management, Inc. and Data
      Base, Inc. ("Data Base");

    - increased investment in sales and marketing to drive internal growth; and

    - increased personnel, office and overhead costs to support growth.

    Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased $17.1 million,
or 35.4%, to $65.4 million (12.6% of consolidated revenues) for the year ended
December 31, 1999 from $48.3 million (12.6% of consolidated revenues) for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The dollar increase is primarily attributable to
the additional depreciation and amortization expense related to acquisitions and
capital expenditures, including racking systems, information systems and
expansion of storage capacity in existing facilities.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated operating income
increased $16.6 million, or 34.8%, to $64.2 million (12.4% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $47.7 million (12.4% of
consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998.

    Consolidated interest expense increased $8.8 million, or 19.2%, to
$54.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $45.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to
increased indebtedness related to the financing of acquisitions and capital
expenditures. Such increase was partially offset by lower effective interest
rates for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated income from continuing
operations before the provision for income taxes and minority interest expense
increased $6.5 million to income of $9.8 million (1.9% of consolidated revenues)
for the year ended December 31, 1999 from income of $3.4 million (0.9% of
consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998. The provision for
income taxes was $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to
$6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Old Iron Mountain's effective
tax rate is higher than statutory rates primarily due to the amortization of the
nondeductible portion of goodwill associated with particular acquisitions (the
tax laws generally permit deduction of goodwill amortization for asset
purchases, but not for acquisitions of stock). In connection with its 1999
acquisitions, Old Iron Mountain recorded approximately $148.5 million in
nondeductible goodwill.

    Consolidated net loss increased $11.3 million to a net loss of
$14.2 million (2.7% of consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31,
1999 from a consolidated net loss of $3.0 million (0.7% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net loss is
primarily due to the loss on sale of discontinued operations of $13.4 million.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated EBITDA from continuing
operations increased $33.7 million, or 35.1%, to $129.7 million (25.0% of
consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $96.0 million
(25.0% of consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

    Consolidated storage revenues increased $104.7 million, or 83.1%, to
$230.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $126.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997, primarily due to the completion of 33 acquisitions
during 1998 and 1997. Internal revenue growth was 10.2% and resulted

                                       23
<PAGE>
primarily from net increases in records and other media stored by existing
customers and from sales to new customers.

    Consolidated service and storage material sales revenues increased
$70.5 million, or 85.1%, to $153.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998
from $82.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, primarily due to
acquisitions. Internal revenue growth was 14.6% and resulted from increases in
service and storage material sales to existing customers and the addition of new
customer accounts.

    For the reasons discussed above, total consolidated revenues increased
$175.2 million, or 83.9%, to $384.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998
from $208.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Total internal revenue
growth was 11.9%.

    Consolidated cost of sales (excluding depreciation) increased
$85.2 million, or 79.7%, to $192.1 million (50.0% of consolidated revenues) for
the year ended December 31, 1998 from $106.9 million (51.2% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1997. The dollar increase is primarily
attributable to the increase in records and other media stored and expenses
related to facility relocations. The decrease as a percentage of revenues is
primarily attributable to:

    - particular data security acquisitions, including the Arcus Group
      acquisition and the acquisition of a software escrow business, acquired in
      the third quarter of 1997, with a higher gross margin than the rest of Old
      Iron Mountain; and

    - the closing of redundant facilities associated with particular
      acquisitions.

    Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$44.2 million, or 85.5%, to $95.9 million (25.0% of consolidated revenues) for
the year ended December 31, 1998 from $51.7 million (24.7% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1997. The dollar increase is primarily
attributable to:

    - the addition of overhead attributable to the Arcus Group acquisition;

    - additional salespeople, primarily related to the acquisitions of Arcus
      Group and Safesite Records Management Corporation and its decision to
      significantly increase its selling resources;

    - increased personnel, office and overhead costs to support growth; and

    - recruiting, relocation and training expenses associated with acquisition
      integration.

    Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased $21.2 million,
or 78.2%, to $48.3 million (12.6% of consolidated revenues) for the year ended
December 31, 1998 from $27.1 million (13.0% of consolidated revenues) for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The dollar increase is primarily attributable to
the additional depreciation and amortization expense related to acquisitions and
capital expenditures, including racking systems, information systems and
expansion of storage capacity in existing facilities.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated operating income
increased $24.6 million, or 106.3%, to $47.7 million (12.4% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $23.1 million (11.1% of
consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1997.

    Consolidated interest expense increased $18.0 million, or 64.8%, to
$45.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $27.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
increased indebtedness related to the financing of acquisitions and capital
expenditures. Such increase was partially offset by lower effective interest
rates for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.

    Consolidated other income for the year ended December 31, 1998 is comprised
of a $1.7 million gain resulting from the settlement of several insurance
claims, including a significant claim under Old Iron Mountain's business
interruption insurance policy, related to the March 1997 fires at Old Iron
Mountain's South Brunswick Township, New Jersey facilities. A $0.3 million loss
on a foreign currency transaction in connection with the acquisition of Iron
Mountain Europe partially offset such gain.

                                       24
<PAGE>
    As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated income (loss) from
continuing operations before the provision (benefit) for income taxes increased
$8.0 million to income of $3.4 million (0.9% of consolidated revenues) for the
year ended December 31, 1998 from a loss of $4.6 million (2.2% of consolidated
revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1997. The provision for income taxes
was $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to a benefit of
$0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Old Iron Mountain's effective
tax rate is higher than statutory rates primarily due to the amortization of the
nondeductible portion of goodwill associated with particular acquisitions (the
tax laws generally permit deduction of goodwill amortization for asset
purchases, but not for acquisitions of stock). In connection with its 1998
acquisitions, Old Iron Mountain recorded approximately $128.1 million in
nondeductible goodwill.

    Consolidated net loss decreased $1.5 million to a net loss of $3.0 million
(0.7% of consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998 from a
consolidated net loss of $4.5 million (2.2% of consolidated revenues) for the
year ended December 31, 1997.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated EBITDA from continuing
operations increased $45.8 million, or 91.1%, to $96.0 million (25.0% of
consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $50.2 million
(24.1% of consolidated revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1997.

RECENT CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA

    The following table sets forth, for the quarterly periods indicated,
information derived from Old Iron Mountain's consolidated statements of
operations. The unaudited quarterly information has been prepared on the same
basis as the annual financial information and, in management's opinion, includes
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly the information for the quarters presented. The operating results for any

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

RECENT FINANCINGS AND SOURCES OF FUNDS

    In May 1999, Old Iron Mountain issued and sold an aggregate of 5,750,000
shares (including 750,000 to cover over-allotments) of its common stock in an
underwritten public offering (the "1999 Equity Offering"). Net proceeds after
deducting underwriters' discounts were $153.8 million and were used to repay
outstanding bank debt, to repurchase all of Old Iron Mountain's common stock
issued in connection with the Data Base acquisition and for general corporate
purposes.

    Old Iron Mountain's net cash provided by financing activities was
$257.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, consisting primarily of the
net proceeds of $153.8 million from the 1999 Equity Offering, the net proceeds
of $149.5 million from the sale of Old Iron Mountain's 8 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "1999 Notes") and $11.6 million of proceeds
from Iron Mountain Europe's minority shareholder to fund Iron Mountain Europe's
acquisitions, offset by $14.5 million of net repayment of indebtedness and a
payment of $39.5 million in connection with the repurchase of Old Iron
Mountain's common stock issued in connection with the Data Base acquisition. As
of December 31, 1999, outstanding borrowings under Old Iron Mountain's
$250 million credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") amounted to $5.0 million.

    As of December 31, 1999, the annual maturities of Old Iron Mountain's
indebtedness for the years ending December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004
were $9.9 million, $18.5 million, $8.3 million, $3.4 million and $3.3 million,
respectively. See Note 4 of Notes to Old Iron Mountain's Consolidated Financial
Statements. None of Old Iron Mountain's public debt is subject to scheduled
mandatory redemption before 2006.

    Net cash provided by continuing operations was $56.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999, compared to $67.1 million for the same period in 1998.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in accounts receivable
and other current assets, offset by the increase in EBITDA and accrued expenses.

    At December 31, 1999, Old Iron Mountain had estimated net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $59 million for federal income tax purposes. As a
result of such loss carryforwards, cash paid for income taxes has historically
been substantially lower than the provision for income taxes. The preceding net
operating loss carryforwards do not include additional preacquisition net
operating loss carryforwards of Arcus Group. Any tax benefit realized will be
recorded as a reduction of goodwill when, and if, realized. The Arcus Group
carryforwards expire in nine years.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

    As Old Iron Mountain has sought to increase its EBITDA, it has made
significant capital investments, consisting primarily of: (i) acquisitions,
(ii) the purchase and construction of real estate, (iii) other capital
expenditures and (iv) customer acquisition costs. These investments have been
primarily funded through cash flows from operations, borrowings under the Credit
Agreement, a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 1999 Notes and the
net proceeds from the 1999 Equity Offering.

    Cash paid for acquisitions was $212.2 million in 1999. In connection with
the acquisition of Data Base, Old Iron Mountain issued common stock with an
aggregate fair value of $46.0 million. During 1999, Old Iron Mountain received
net proceeds of $8.2 million in connection with the sale of Arcus Staffing as
discussed in Note 9 of Notes to Old Iron Mountain's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

    In connection with its acquisition of Data Base, Old Iron Mountain issued
1,476,577 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $46.0 million.
Subsequently, all 1,476,577 shares were repurchased for $39.5 million.

    During 1999, total capital expenditures were $98.7 million, of which
$23.0 million related to the purchase and construction of real estate. A
significant portion of Old Iron Mountain's capital expenditures are related to
growth and consist primarily of racking systems, management information systems,
new buildings and expansion of storage capacity in existing facilities. Less
than 10% of the capital expenditures were expended in order to maintain Old Iron
Mountain's then current revenue stream.

                                       26
<PAGE>
    In addition, Old Iron Mountain incurred costs (net of revenues received for
the initial transfer of records) related to the acquisition of large volume
accounts. In 1999, Old Iron Mountain's additions to customer acquisition costs
were $8.1 million.

ACQUISITIONS

    Old Iron Mountain's liquidity and capital resources have been significantly
impacted by acquisitions made by Old Iron Mountain.

    Old Iron Mountain has historically financed the cash portion of its
acquisitions with borrowings under its credit agreements in conjunction with
cash flows provided by operations and with the net proceeds of issuances of debt
securities and common stock.

    In connection with its acquisition program, Old Iron Mountain has undertaken
certain restructurings of the acquired businesses. Formalized restructuring
plans for acquisitions are completed within one year of the date of acquisition.
The restructuring activities include reductions in staffing levels, elimination
of duplicate facilities and other costs associated with exiting certain
activities of the acquired businesses. In connection with these restructuring
activities, Old Iron Mountain established reserves of $4.2 million in 1999 as
part of the purchase accounting for its acquisitions. During 1999, Old Iron
Mountain expended $4.8 million for restructuring costs. In addition, Old Iron
Mountain made $0.5 million of adjustments, which reduced goodwill, as a result
of management's finalizing restructuring plans within one year of acquisition.
These expenditures consisted primarily of severance costs and costs related to
exiting facilities. At December 31, 1999, Old Iron Mountain had a total of
$9.3 million accrued for restructuring costs for all of its then completed
acquisitions. See Note 6 to Notes to Old Iron Mountain's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

B. PIERCE LEAHY

OVERVIEW

    As with Old Iron Mountain, Pierce Leahy's primary financial objective has
been to increase consolidated EBITDA. Pierce Leahy defined EBITDA as earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary charge,
non-recurring charge, special compensation charge, merger-related expenses and
foreign currency exchange. Pierce Leahy has benefited from growth in
consolidated EBITDA, which has increased from $51.5 million for 1997 to
$104.9 million for 1999 (a compound annual growth rate of 42.7%). As with Old
Iron Mountain, pursuit of this objective has negatively affected other measures
of Pierce Leahy's financial performance, such as consolidated net income and
consolidated net income applicable to common shareholders.

    Although Pierce Leahy's operating income has increased over the last three
years, net income (loss) has fluctuated as a result of increases in interest
expense, goodwill amortization from purchase accounting, income taxes related to
the termination of Pierce Leahy's status as a Subchapter S corporation, foreign
currency exchange gains and losses and an extraordinary charge related to the
early extinguishment of debt due to a refinancing in 1997.

    Pierce Leahy's revenues consist of storage revenues and related service and
storage material sales revenues. Storage revenues consist of periodic charges
related to the storage of materials (either on a per unit or per cubic foot of
records basis) and accounted for approximately 56% of total revenues for 1999.
Service and storage material sales revenues are comprised of charges for related
service activities, the sale of storage materials and courier operations.
Courier operations primarily consist of the pickup and delivery of records upon
customer request. Related service revenues arise from additions of new records,
temporary removal of records from storage, refiling of removed records,
destructions of records, permanent withdrawals from storage and sales of
specially designed storage containers and related supplies. Customers are
generally billed on a monthly basis on contractually agreed-upon terms. Included
in Pierce Leahy's service and storage material sales revenues for 1998 and 1999
are approximately $9 million and $18 million, respectively, of revenues from the
marketing literature storage and fulfillment business acquired in May 1998.

                                       27
<PAGE>
    Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) is comprised mainly
of wages and benefits, facility occupancy costs, vehicle and other equipment
costs and supplies.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of wages and
benefit for management, administrative, marketing and data processing personnel
and also include expenses related to travel, communications, data processing
expenses, professional fees and office expenses.

    Merger-related expenses in 1999 primarily represent expenses directly
related to Pierce Leahy's merger with Old Iron Mountain. These expenses
primarily consisted of financial advisor, legal, accounting and consulting fees,
SEC filing fees and other transaction costs.

    Pierce Leahy's depreciation and amortization charges result primarily from
the capital-intensive nature of its business and its completed acquisitions. The
principal components of depreciation relate to racking, buildings and
improvements and data processing equipment. Amortization primarily relates to
the amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions, including
goodwill and the amortization of customer acquisition costs. Pierce Leahy has
accounted for all of its acquisitions under the purchase method except for two
small acquisitions in 1997, which were accounted for under the pooling of
interests method. Since the purchase price for records management companies is
substantially in excess of the fair market value of their assets, these
purchases have given rise to significant goodwill and, accordingly, significant
levels of amortization. Although amortization is a non-cash charge, it does
impact reported net income (loss).

    EBITDA is an important financial performance measure in the RIMS industry,
both for determining the value of companies within the industry and for defining
standards for borrowing from institutional lenders. Pierce Leahy's EBITDA
margins were 28.1% for 1997, 29.2% for 1998 and 30.6% for 1999. Pierce Leahy has
been able to increase its EBITDA margins through improved overall operating
efficiencies and economies of scale and the realization of synergies in
connection with its acquisitions. The Company has adopted Old Iron Mountain's
accounting policies as its own upon completion of Iron Mountain's merger with
Pierce Leahy. If Pierce Leahy had been using Old Iron Mountain's accounting
policies, its 1999 EBITDA margin would have been 28.6%.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

    Storage revenues increased from $153.5 million in 1998 to $190.1 million in
1999, an increase of $36.6 million or 23.8%. Service and storage material sales
revenues increased from $116.8 million in 1998 to $152.2 million in 1999, an
increase of $35.4 million, or 30.3%, due in part to a $6.4 million increase in
service revenues derived from the marketing literature storage and fulfillment
business acquired in May 1998.

    Total revenues increased from $270.3 million in 1998 to $342.3 million in
1999, an increase of $72.0 million or 26.6%. Revenues from acquisitions
accounted for $34.4 million, or 12.7%, of such increase. The balance of the
revenue growth ($37.6 million) resulted from sales to new customers and from net
increases in cubic feet stored from existing customers. This represents a base
business revenue growth of 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 1999 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1998.

    Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased from
$154.4 million in 1998 to $191.5 million in 1999, an increase of $37.1 million
or 24.0%, but decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 57.1% in 1998 to
56.0% in 1999. The increase in dollars resulted primarily from an additional
number of employees and an increase in facility occupancy costs resulting from
the growth in cubic feet stored from existing customers and acquisitions. The
decrease as a percentage of total revenues resulted primarily from increased
operating efficiencies from the conversion of previously acquired operations
into Pierce Leahy's PLUS system.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $37.0 million in
1998 to $45.9 million in 1999, an increase of $8.9 million or 24.0%, but
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 13.7% in 1998 to 13.4% in 1999.
The dollar increase was primarily attributable to increases in staffing,
including increases in sales personnel and administrative staff and related
training expenses. The decrease as a percentage of total revenues was
attributable to economies realized from administrative efficiencies associated
with operating in a centralized manner.

    Merger-related expenses of $2.4 million (0.7% of total revenues) were
incurred in 1999.

    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $35.8 million in 1998
to $43.7 million in 1999, an increase of $7.9 million or 22.0% and decreased as
a percentage of total revenues from 13.2% in 1998 to 12.8% in 1999. The dollar
increase was primarily attributable to the additional depreciation and
amortization expense related to a full year of depreciation and amortization on
the 1998 acquisitions and the four acquisitions completed during 1999, to
capital expenditures for racking, buildings, improvements to records management
facilities and information systems and to customer acquisition costs. The
decrease as a percentage of total revenues was attributable to an increase in
revenue growth from existing and new customers and from a decrease in
acquisitions, which generally have a higher component of depreciation and
amortization expense.

    Pierce Leahy had a foreign currency exchange gain for the year ended
December 31, 1999 of $7.5 million (2.2% of total revenues) as compared to a loss
of $7.9 million (2.9% of total revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The change in the foreign currency exchange is primarily due to a change in the
value of the Canadian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar, as it relates to
Pierce Leahy Canada Company's $135.0 million of senior notes due 2008 (the
"Pierce Leahy 1998 Notes").

    Interest expense increased from $42.9 million in 1998 to $52.4 million in
1999, an increase of $9.5 million or 22.2%. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased indebtedness incurred to finance acquisitions and
capital expenditures.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, Pierce Leahy had income before income
taxes of $14.0 million (4.1% of revenues) for 1999, as compared to a loss before
income taxes of $7.7 million (2.8% of revenues) for 1998.

                                       29
<PAGE>
    Pierce Leahy recorded a provision for income taxes of $6.3 million (or 1.8%
of revenues) for 1999 as compared to a provision for income taxes of
$3.3 million (or 1.2% of revenues) for 1998.

    Pierce Leahy issued $5 million of the pay-in-kind ("PIK") redeemable
preferred stock in March 1999. On November 1, 1999 Pierce Leahy redeemed all of
the outstanding redeemable PIK preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends and
accretion of $0.8 million relating to the PIK preferred stock were recognized in
1999.

    As a result of the foregoing items, Pierce Leahy had net income applicable
to common shareholders of $6.9 million for 1999 as compared to a net loss of
$11.0 million for 1998.

    EBITDA increased from $78.9 million in 1998 to $104.9 million in 1999, an
increase of $26.0 million or 33.0%, and increased as a percentage of total
revenues from 29.2% in 1998 to 30.6% in 1999. The increase as a percentage of
total revenues reflected growth in Pierce Leahy's business, economies of scale
and increased operating efficiencies.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

    Storage revenues increased from $107.9 million in 1997 to $153.5 million in
1998, an increase of $45.6 million or 42.3%. Service and storage material sales
revenues increased from $75.6 million in 1997 to $116.8 million in 1998, an
increase of $41.2 million or 54.4%, in part due to $8.0 million of service
revenues derived from the marketing literature storage and fulfillment business
acquired during 1998.

    Total revenues increased from $183.5 million in 1997 to $270.3 million in
1998, an increase of $86.8 million or 47.3%. Revenues from acquisitions
represented $60.4 million of this increase. The balance of total revenue growth
(approximately $26.4 million) resulted from sales to new customers and increases
in cubic feet stored from existing customers, a base business revenue growth of
approximately 14.4% compared to 1997.

    Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased from
$101.9 million in 1997 to $154.4 million in 1998, an increase of $52.5 million
or 51.5%, and increased as a percentage of total revenues from 55.5% in 1997 to
57.1% in 1998. The increase in dollars resulted primarily from an additional
number of employees and an increase in facility occupancy costs resulting from
the growth in cubic feet stored from existing customers and acquisitions. The
increase as a percentage of total revenues resulted primarily from increased
cost of sales from acquisitions not yet integrated into Pierce Leahy's PLUS
system.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $30.1 million in
1997 to $37.0 million in 1998, an increase of $6.9 million or 23.0%, but
decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 16.4% in 1997 to 13.7% in 1998.
The dollar increase was primarily attributable to increases in staffing,
including increases in sales personnel and administrative staff. The decrease as
a percentage of total revenues was attributable to economies realized from
administrative efficiencies associated with operating in a centralized manner.

    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $21.5 million in 1997
to $35.8 million in 1998, an increase of $14.3 million or 66.2%, and increased
as a percentage of total revenues from 11.7% in 1997 to 13.2% in 1998. This
increase in both dollars and percentage of total revenues was primarily
attributable to the additional depreciation and amortization expense related to
the 16 acquisitions completed during 1998, to capital expenditures for racking,
buildings, improvements to record management facilities and information systems,
and to customer acquisition costs.

    A special compensation charge of $1.8 million was recorded during 1997. This
charge relates to the write-off of unamortized compensation expense due to the
acceleration of the vesting of stock options granted on January 1, 1997 in
conjunction with Pierce Leahy's initial public offering of common stock.

                                       30
<PAGE>
    Pierce Leahy had a foreign currency exchange loss for the year ended
December 31, 1998 of $7.9 million (2.9% of total revenues) as compared to a loss
of $0.7 million (0.4% of total revenues) for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The change in the foreign currency exchange is primarily due to a change in the
value of the Canadian dollar as compared to the U.S. dollar, as it relates to
the Pierce Leahy 1998 Notes.

    Interest expense increased from $29.3 million in 1997 to $42.9 million in
1998, an increase of $13.6 million or 46.5%. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased indebtedness related to financing acquisitions and
capital expenditures.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, Pierce Leahy had a loss before income
taxes and extraordinary charge of $7.7 million (2.8% of revenues) for 1998, as
compared to a loss before income taxes and extraordinary charge of $1.7 million
(0.9% of revenues) for 1997.

    Pierce Leahy recorded an extraordinary charge of $6.0 million (3.3% of total
revenues) in 1997 which related to the early extinguishment of debt as a result
of refinancing and expanding its existing credit agreement in 1997. The
$6.0 million extraordinary charge is net of a tax benefit of $4.0 million.

    Pierce Leahy recorded a provision for income taxes of $7.4 million (or 4.1%
of revenues) for 1997 and a provision for income taxes of $3.3 million (or 1.2%
of revenues) for 1998. For 1997, these taxes were comprised of the tax effect
from the termination of Pierce Leahy's Subchapter S corporation status
($6.6 million) and the provision for the results of operations after the
termination of its status as an S corporation on July 1, 1997 ($0.8 million).

    As a result of the foregoing items, Pierce Leahy had a net loss of
$11.0 million for 1998, as compared to a net loss of $15.2 million for 1997.

    EBITDA increased from $51.5 million in 1997 to $78.9 million in 1998, an
increase of $27.4 million or 53.1% and increased as a percentage of total
revenues from 28.1% in 1997 to 29.2% in 1998. The increase as a percentage of
the total revenues reflected growth in Pierce Leahy's business, economies of
scale and increased operating efficiencies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

SOURCES OF FUNDS

    Net cash provided by financing activities was $47.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999, consisting primarily of $112.3 million of borrowings
under Pierce Leahy's credit facility, $6.9 million of proceeds from the issuance
of long-term debt and $4.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of the
redeemable PIK preferred stock, offset by payments of $64.6 million on
borrowings under the credit facility, payments of $5.3 million on long-term
debt, payments of $5.0 million on the redeemable PIK preferred stock and
payments of $1.2 million for debt financing costs.

    In December 1999, Pierce Leahy amended the U.S. portion of its credit
facility to provide an increase in the amount available for borrowing from
$175 million to $195 million; all other material terms and conditions remained
the same.

    Pierce Leahy's credit facility contained a number of financial and other
covenants restricting its ability to incur additional indebtedness and make
certain types of expenditures. Covenants in the indentures governing Pierce
Leahy's and Pierce Leahy Canada Company's notes also restrict borrowings under
its credit facility. As of December 31, 1999, $165.7 million was outstanding
under its credit facility and an additional $17.3 million of the credit facility
was reserved to secure the issuance of letters of credit to guarantee the seller
notes issued in conjunction with the Datavault Limited acquisition. The
effective interest rate on the credit facility, as of December 31, 1999, was
approximately 9.1%. Pierce Leahy's credit facility was terminated and paid in
full upon the acquisition of Pierce Leahy by Old Iron Mountain on February 1,
2000.

    As of December 31, 1999, the annual maturities of Pierce Leahy's
indebtedness for the years ending December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004
were $22.8 million, $3.2 million, $33.6 million, $63.4 million and $75.0,
respectively. See Note 3 of Pierce Leahy's Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.5 million and
$51.2 million for 1998 and 1999, respectively. The $12.7 million increase from
1998 to 1999 primarily resulted from the $26.0 million

                                       32
<PAGE>
increase in EBITDA and an increase in working capital of $2.1 million, offset by
an increase in cash paid for interest of $12.7 million, unfavorable foreign
currency cash translations of $2.3 million and the payment of merger-related
expenses of $2.4 million.

    At December 31, 1999, Pierce Leahy had estimated net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $20.4 million for federal and state income tax
purposes. In addition, Pierce Leahy had an additional $8.3 million of foreign
net operating loss carryforwards. As a result of such loss carryforwards, cash
paid for income taxes has historically been substantially lower than the
provision for income taxes. See Note 5 of Notes to Pierce Leahy's Consolidated
Financial Statements.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

    As Pierce Leahy has sought to increase its EBITDA, it has made significant
capital investments, consisting primarily of: (i) acquisitions, (ii) the
purchase and construction of real estate, (iii) other capital expenditures and
(iv) customer acquisition costs. These investments were primarily funded through
cash flows from operations and borrowings under Pierce Leahy's credit facility.

    In 1999, Pierce Leahy completed four acquisitions for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $42.2 million, consisting of $23.3 million in net cash
and $18.9 million in seller notes. The most significant of these acquisitions
was Datavault Limited, a U.K. based RIMS company with operations in seven
markets throughout England and Scotland. This acquisition was financed by
borrowings under Pierce Leahy's credit facility and the issuance of seller
notes.

    Total 1999 capital expenditures were $57.5 million, of which $7.7 million
related to the purchase and construction of real estate. A significant portion
of Pierce Leahy's capital expenditures are related to growth and consist
primarily of racking systems, management information systems, new buildings and
expansion of storage capacity in existing facilities. Pierce Leahy's data
processing capital expenditures are also largely related to growth. Less than
10% of the capital expenditures were expended in order to maintain Pierce
Leahy's then current revenue stream.

    Additions to customer acquisition costs in 1999 were $17.4 million. Customer
acquisition costs consist primarily of sales commissions and move-in costs.
Customer acquisition costs are capitalized and amortized over six years, which
is the average initial contract term of new customer accounts.

ACQUISITIONS

    In connection with its acquisition program, Pierce Leahy has undertaken
certain restructurings of the acquired businesses. Formalized restructuring
plans for acquisitions are completed within one year of the date of acquisition.
The restructuring activities include reductions in staffing levels, elimination
of duplicate facilities and other costs associated with exiting certain
activities of the acquired businesses. In connection with these restructuring
activities, Pierce Leahy established reserves of $1.5 million in 1999, as part
of the purchase accounting for its 1999 acquisitions. During 1999, Pierce Leahy
expended $0.9 million for restructuring costs. These expenditures consisted
primarily of severance costs and costs related to exiting facilities. At
December 31, 1999, Pierce Leahy had a total of $2.4 million accrued for
restructuring costs for all of its then completed acquisitions. See Note 12 to
Notes to Pierce Leahy's Consolidated Financial Statements.

C. THE COMPANY

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

RECENT FINANCINGS AND SOURCES OF FUNDS

    Effective February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain amended and restated the
Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to repay Pierce Leahy's credit
facility, to increase the aggregate principal amount available to
$400.0 million and to include the ability to borrow in certain foreign
currencies. The facility matures on January 27, 2005. Interest on borrowings
under the Amended Credit Agreement will be paid at the Company's choice of four
different variable interest rates. Restrictive covenants under the Amended
Credit Agreement are similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. See
Note 4 of Notes to Old Iron Mountain's Consolidated Financial Statements.

    As of March 1, 2000, the Company had outstanding borrowings of approximately
$201 million under the Amended Credit Agreement, which were used to fund, among
other things, the repayment of Pierce Leahy's revolving credit facility, the
purchase price of recent acquisitions, general corporate expenses and merger
costs.

    As of March 1, 2000, the Company had approximately $1.2 billion of total
debt, of which $1.0 billion had fixed interest rates and $0.2 billion had
variable interest rates.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

    Given its acquisition strategy, the Company's liquidity and capital
resources may be significantly impacted for the foreseeable future. The
Company's future interest expense may increase significantly as a result of the
additional indebtedness it may incur to finance possible future acquisitions. To
the extent that future acquisitions are financed by additional borrowings under
the Amended Credit Agreement or other credit facilities, or the future issuance
of debt securities, the resulting increase in debt and interest expense could
have a negative effect on such measures of liquidity as debt to equity, EBITDA
to debt and EBITDA to interest expense.

    From January 1, 2000 through the date of its merger with Pierce Leahy, Old
Iron Mountain acquired one additional business (excluding the acquisition of
Pierce Leahy), and from February 1, 2000 through March 1, 2000, the Company
acquired one additional business. The total cost of these two acquisitions was
$11.7 million in cash.

    The Company expects to record reserves for the acquisitions completed
between January 1, 2000 and March 1, 2000 and is currently evaluating its
restructuring plans. The Company will continue to re-evaluate its restructuring
plans regarding these acquisitions, as well as those made by Old Iron Mountain
and Pierce Leahy during 1999, during the year following their consummation.

    On February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain completed the acquisition of Pierce
Leahy in a stock-for-stock merger valued at approximately $1.1 billion. Because
immediately after the merger Old Iron Mountain stockholders owned approximately
65% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, the acquisition will be accounted
for as a reverse acquisition, with Old Iron Mountain treated as the acquirer.
The total consideration for this transaction was comprised of:
(i) 18.8 million shares of the Company's Common Stock with a fair value of
approximately $444 million; (ii) options to acquire approximately 1.5 million
shares of the Company's Common Stock with a fair value of approximately
$25 million; (iii) assumed Pierce Leahy debt with a fair value of approximately
$579 million; and (iv) approximately $4 million of capitalized transaction
costs. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method.

    On February 18, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with DSC and
Suddath Van Lines, Inc. to acquire substantially all of the assets of DSC, as a
result of which the Company will acquire the RIMS business of DSC, and will also
lease or sublease from DSC, or assume DSC's leases with regard to,

                                       34
<PAGE>
certain related real estate. At closing, the Company will pay aggregate
consideration of approximately $54 million in cash in connection with the DSC
acquisition, including payments to certain officers as consideration for
non-competition covenants. The closing of the DSC acquisition is subject to
customary conditions and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2000,
although no assurance can be given that it will be completed. The acquisition
will be funded with borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.

    The Company currently estimates that its capital expenditures (other than
capital expenditures related to future acquisitions, which cannot be presently
estimated) for 2000 will be approximately $160 million. The Company expects to
fund these expenditures with cash flows from operations and borrowings under the
Amended Credit Agreement.

    The Company has begun to assess opportunities in the digital storage
business driven by e-commerce and facilitated by the Internet. Services
associated with this business would expand the Company's range of services into
the use of the Internet to facilitate the backup and storage of customer data.
The Company is in the early stages of exploring these new business
opportunities, and anticipates investing approximately $10 million to
$20 million over the next two years to further develop these opportunities. The
Company intends to fund this effort with cash flows from operations and
borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.

PIERCE LEAHY/OLD IRON MOUNTAIN INTEGRATION

    The Company is currently in the process of integrating the operations and
headquarters functions of Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy on a "best
practices" basis. This process includes the planning, development and execution
of an integration plan. During fiscal years 2000 and 2001, the Company expects
to integrate overhead and support functions and to begin combining field
operations, with the goal of full integration within three years after the
merger. Management's current estimate is that the expenditures to integrate the
two companies, the majority of which will be incurred over the next two years,
will total approximately $15 million. These costs will consist primarily of
severance and relocation of employees, transition bonuses, consultants' fees,
reimaging expenses and system conversion costs. The accounting treatment will
vary based on the nature of the expenses and will be finalized as the
integration plans are completed. The Company expects to take a restructuring
charge of not more than $5 million during fiscal year 2000 related to the
merger. As a result of the integration effort, management expects that the
Company will realize an estimated $15 million in annual operating cost savings
within three years after the merger. These cost savings will primarily result
from the elimination of redundant corporate expenses and more efficient
operations and utilization of real estate. The Company intends to fund the
integration effort with cash flows from operations and borrowings under the
Amended Credit Agreement.

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS

    The Company's primary financial objective continues to be to increase
consolidated EBITDA, which is a source of funds for investment in continued
internal growth and growth through acquisitions and to service indebtedness. The
Company's ability to generate sufficient cash to fund its needs depends
generally on the results of its operations and the availability of financing.
Management believes that cash flows from operations in conjunction with
borrowings from existing and possible future debt financings will be sufficient
for the foreseeable future to meet debt service requirements and to make
possible future acquisitions and capital expenditures. However, there can be no
assurance in this regard or that the terms available for any future financing,
if required, would be favorable to the Company.

                                       35
<PAGE>
SEASONALITY

    Historically, the Company's businesses have not been subject to seasonality
in any material respect.

INFLATION

    Certain of the Company's expenses, such as wages and benefits, occupancy
costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary
pressures. Although the Company to date has been able to offset inflationary
cost increases through increased operating efficiencies and the negotiation of
favorable long-term real estate leases, the Company cannot assure that it will
be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar
efficiencies, leases or increased storage or service charges.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES

    The Company generally views its investment in foreign businesses with a
functional currency other than the Company's reporting currency as long-term.
These investments are sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates. The functional currencies of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are
principally denominated in Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, French
francs, Spanish pesetas and Mexican pesos. The effect of a change in foreign
exchange rates on the Company's net investment in foreign subsidiaries is
reflected in the "Accumulated other comprehensive items" component of
shareholders' equity. A 10% depreciation in year-end 1999 functional currencies,
relative to the U.S. dollar, would result in a $4.2 million reduction in
stockholders' equity of Old Iron Mountain, and a $1.3 million reduction in
shareholders' equity of Pierce Leahy.

YEAR 2000 IMPACT

    As of the date of this report, the Company has completed its year 2000
initiatives which included: (i) testing and upgrading its operational systems
and facilities; (ii) assessing the year 2000 readiness of its key suppliers,
vendors and customers; and (iii) developing contingency plans.

    As a result of completing these initiatives, the Company believes that all
of its operational systems and critical non-information technology systems are
year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company is not aware of any significant
supplier or vendor that has experienced material disruption due to year 2000
issues. The Company has also developed a contingency plan to allow its primary
business operations to continue despite disruptions due to year 2000 problems,
if any, that might yet arise in the future.

    While to date the Company has not experienced any negative consequences
arising from year 2000 issues, there can be no assurance that in the future the
Company's business operations or financial condition may not be impacted by year
2000 problems.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

    The Company does not hold any derivative financial instruments or derivative
commodity instruments. Old Iron Mountain's investment in Iron Mountain Europe,
which was financed with British pounds, as described in Note 2 to Old Iron
Mountain's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and other international
investments may be subject to risks and uncertainties relating to fluctuations
in currency valuation.

    One of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries, Pierce Leahy Canada Company, has
U.S. dollar denominated debt. Gains and losses due to exchange rate fluctuations
related to this debt are recognized in Pierce Leahy's consolidated statements of
operations.

    The Company engages neither in speculative nor derivative trading
activities. As of December 31, 1999, Old Iron Mountain had approximately
$43 million of debt outstanding with a weighted average variable interest rate
of 5.69% and approximately $570 million of fixed rate debt outstanding, while
Pierce

                                       36
<PAGE>
Leahy had approximately $166 million of debt outstanding with a weighted average
variable interest rate of 7.99% and approximately $421 million of fixed rate
debt outstanding. If the weighted average variable interest rate had increased
by 1%, such increase would have had a negative impact on Old Iron Mountain's net
income for the year ended December 31, 1999 of approximately $683,000 and on
Pierce Leahy's net income for the year ended December 31, 1999 of approximately
$1.5 million. See Note 4 to Notes to Old Iron Mountain's Consolidated Financial
Statements for a discussion of Old Iron Mountain's long-term indebtedness,
including the fair values of such indebtedness as of December 31, 1999 and
Note 3 to Notes to Pierce Leahy's Consolidated Financial Statements for a
discussion of Pierce Leahy's long-term indebtedness, including the fair values
of such indebtedness as of December 31, 1999.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

    Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that the
Company's executive officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, must file
reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Such executive officers,
Directors and ten percent shareholders are also required by Commission rules to
furnish to the Company copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based
solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written
representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to
file a Form 5, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999, the executive officers, Directors and ten percent
shareholders of both Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy complied with all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such persons.

(1) Potential Realizable Value is based on the assumed growth rates for an
    assumed ten-year option term. Five percent annual growth results in a common
    stock price per share of $54.77, and ten percent annual growth results in a
    common stock price per share of $87.21, respectively, for such term. The
    actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of
    the market price of the common stock over the exercise price on the date the
    option is exercised. There is no assurance that the value realized by an
    executive will be at or near the amounts reflected in this table.

(2) Following the merger of Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy, Mr. Swift is no
    longer classified as an executive officer of the Company.

    The following table sets forth certain information with respect to stock

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive additional
compensation for serving as Directors. Each Director who is not an employee of
the Company receives an annual retainer fee of $5,000 as compensation for his or
her services as a member of the Company Board and $500 for attendance at
committee meetings. In addition, the Company has a program by which it grants
its nonemployee Directors options to purchase $100,000 of the Company's Common
Stock every three years. Each option is granted under the Iron Mountain
Incorporated 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Old Iron Mountain Stock Incentive
Plan"), has an exercise price equal to fair market value (as defined in the Old
Iron Mountain Stock Incentive Plan), vests in equal amounts over a period of
three years and has a ten year term. All Directors are reimbursed for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Company Board or
committees thereof, and for other expenses incurred in their capacities as
Directors.

    Old Iron Mountain paid a total of $34,000 in cash for Directors fees in
respect of services for 1999; and Pierce Leahy paid a total of $80,000 in cash
for Directors fees in respect of services for 1999.

CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENT

    The Old Iron Mountain Stock Incentive Plan provides for acceleration of the
vesting of options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") if the Company or any
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation
(whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) in any transaction or
series of related transactions and there is a "Limited Change of Control" of the
Company. A Limited Change of Control occurs if after the merger or consolidation
(a) individuals who immediately prior to the merger or consolidation served as
members of the Company Board no longer constitute a majority of the Company
Board or the board of directors of the surviving corporation and (b) the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the merger or
consolidation do not represent (either by remaining outstanding or upon
conversion into securities of the surviving corporation) more than 50% of the
voting power of the securities of the Company or the surviving corporation
immediately after the merger or consolidation. The merger of Old Iron Mountain
and Pierce Leahy did not constitute a Limited Change of Control.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

    Iron Mountain Records Management, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company
("IMRM"), was the tenant under a lease dated January 1, 1991 for a 31,500
square-foot building in Houston, Texas. The owner of the building was IM Houston
(CR) Limited Partnership, a Texas limited partnership, of which Mountain
Realty, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation whose sole shareholder is Mr. Ryan,
was the sole general partner, and the limited partners of which were
Messrs. Reese and Doggett. IMRM paid annual rent of approximately $99,326 for
the year ended December 31, 1998. As tenant, IMRM was responsible for taxes,
insurance and maintenance. Iron Mountain Statutory Trust--1998 ("IMST"), a
non-affiliated entity formed to acquire and lease records storage properties to
IMRM, purchased the property from IM Houston (CR) Limited Partnership in
January 1999 for a purchase price of approximately $930,000. The purchase price
was determined through an independent appraisal of the property. IMRM leases the
space from IMST and will continue to use the space as a records management
facility. The prior lease and the acquisition of the property by IMST were, in
the opinion of management, on commercially reasonable terms and no less
favorable to IMRM than could have been obtained from an unaffiliated party at
the time of the transactions.

    Schooner leases space from the Company at the Company's corporate
headquarters. Such lease is a tenancy-at-will and may be terminated by either
the Company or by Schooner at any time. As consideration for such lease,
Schooner pays rent to the Company based on its pro rata share of all expenses
related to the use and occupancy of the premises. The rent paid by Schooner to
Old Iron Mountain under such lease was approximately $93,930 in the year ended
December 31, 1999, and Schooner currently pays annual rent of approximately
$98,182. The Company believes that the terms of this lease are no less favorable
to it than would have been negotiated with an unrelated third party.

    The Company leases from four separate limited partnerships the headquarters
of its paper records storage operations in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and its
facilities in Suffield, Connecticut, Orlando, Florida and Charlotte, North
Carolina. J. Peter Pierce, the Company's President, is the general partner of
three of the limited partnerships and members of the Pierce family and their
affiliates own substantial limited partnership interests in each of the four
limited partnerships. The lease for the headquarters of the Company's paper
records storage operations expires on April 30, 2003, without any renewal
options. The leases for the Suffield, Orlando and Charlotte facilities terminate
on December 31, 2005, October 31, 2004 and August 31, 2001, respectively. Each
of such leases contains two five-year renewal options. The aggregate rental
payments by Pierce Leahy for such properties during 1999 was $902,000. The
Company believes that the terms of these leases are no less favorable to the
Company than would have been negotiated with unrelated third parties.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS

    Old Iron Mountain paid compensation of approximately $186,110 for the year
ended December 31, 1999 to Mr. T. Anthony Ryan. Mr. Ryan is Vice President, Real
Estate, of the Company and is the brother of Mr. Vincent J. Ryan, a Director of
the Company. The Company believes that the terms of Mr. Ryan's employment are no
less favorable to it than would be negotiable with an unrelated third party.

    Pierce Leahy provided an annual pension in the amount of $96,000 to Leo W.
Pierce, Sr., the Chairman Emeritus of the Company Board and the beneficial owner
of approximately 13.7% of the Company's Common Stock, for the year ended
December 31, 1999. The Company will continue to provide a pension to
Mr. Pierce, or his spouse, if she survives him, in 2000.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Iron Mountain Incorporated:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Iron
Mountain Incorporated (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Iron Mountain Incorporated's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Iron Mountain Europe
Limited as of October 31, 1999, which statements reflect total assets and total
revenues of 12 percent and 6 percent in 1999, of the related consolidated
totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for this entity, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 and the report of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Iron Mountain Incorporated and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1998 and 1999 and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1999
                       (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

    The accompanying financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of
Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries
(collectively "Old Iron Mountain"). Old Iron Mountain is an international
full-service provider of records and information management and related services
for all media in various locations throughout the United States, Europe and
Mexico to Fortune 500 companies and numerous legal, banking, health care,
accounting, insurance, entertainment and government organizations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    a. Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and
    results of operations of Old Iron Mountain on a consolidated basis. All
    significant intercompany account balances have been eliminated.

    b. 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
    the 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.

    c. Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Old Iron Mountain defines cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand
    and cash invested in short-term securities which have original maturities of
    less than 90 days. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which
    approximates fair market value.

    d. Foreign Currency Transaction

    On December 31, 1998, Old Iron Mountain had a receivable denominated in
    British pounds from, and a payable in U.S. dollars to, a bank as a result of
    exercising a foreign exchange agreement on December 30, 1998. Included in
    other income, net, for the year ended December 31, 1998 is a $316 loss on
    the remeasurement of the receivable based on the applicable exchange rate on
    December 31, 1998. The British pounds were being acquired to finance the
    acquisition of Iron Mountain Europe Limited ("IM Europe") on January 4,
    1999. As of December 31, 1999, Old Iron Mountain did not have any such
    foreign exchange agreement.

    All assets and liabilities of Old Iron Mountain's foreign subsidiaries are
    translated at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are
    translated at average exchange rates for the year, 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 stockholders' equity.
    Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in fiscal 1999 are included in
    the accompanying statements of operations and are not material.

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
    "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
    ("SFAS 133"). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards
    for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
    embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities and is effective for
    all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, as amended by SFAS 137,
    "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Management
    has not yet completed its assessment of the effects of SFAS 133.

    e. Property, Plant and Equipment

    Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the
    straight-line method with the following useful lives:

    Minor maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements to the
    leased buildings are capitalized as leasehold improvements and depreciated.

    Old Iron Mountain develops various software applications for internal use.
    Payroll and related costs for employees who are directly associated with and
    who devote time to the development of internal-use computer software
    projects (to the extent of the time spent directly on the project) are
    capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the software.
    Capitalization begins when the design stage of the application has been
    completed, it is probable that the project will be completed and the

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    application will be used to perform the function intended. Amortization
    begins when the software is placed in service.

    Effective January 1, 1999, Old Iron Mountain adopted the provisions of
    Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
    Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 requires
    computer software costs associated with internal use software to be expensed
    as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. SOP 98-1 also
    defines which types of costs should be capitalized and which should be
    expensed. The new accounting pronouncement resulted in certain costs being
    expensed starting in 1999 that would have been capitalized under the
    previous policy.

    f. Goodwill

    Goodwill reflects the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of
    companies acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized using the
    straight-line method from the date of acquisition over the expected period
    to be benefited, currently estimated at 25 to 30 years. Old Iron Mountain
    assesses the recoverability of goodwill, as well as other long-lived assets,
    based upon expectations of future undiscounted cash flows in accordance with
    SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
    Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Accumulated amortization of goodwill
    was $46,333 and $76,865 as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

    g. Customer Acquisition Costs

    Costs related to the acquisition of large volume accounts, net of revenues
    received for the initial transfer of the records, are capitalized and
    amortized for an appropriate period not to exceed 12 years. If the customer
    terminates its relationship with Old Iron Mountain, the unamortized cost is
    charged to expense. However, in the event of such termination, Old Iron
    Mountain collects, and records as income, permanent removal fees that
    generally equal or exceed the amount of the unamortized costs. As of
    December 31, 1998 and 1999, those costs were $12,793 and $20,746,
    respectively, and accumulated amortization of those costs were $3,219 and
    $4,004, respectively.

    h. Deferred Financing Costs

    Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt
    using the effective interest rate method. If debt is retired early,
    unamortized deferred financing costs are written off as an extraordinary
    charge in the period the debt is retired. As of December 31, 1998 and 1999,
    deferred financing costs were $16,928 and $22,066, respectively, and
    accumulated amortization of those costs was $3,536 and $5,517, respectively.

    i. Other Assets

    Effective January 1, 1999, Old Iron Mountain adopted the provisions of
    Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities"
    ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5 requires the costs of start-up activities, including
    organization costs, to be expensed as incurred. The adoption of SOP 98-5 did
    not have a material impact on Old Iron Mountain's financial statements.

</TABLE>

    k. Revenues

    Old Iron Mountain's revenues consist of storage revenues as well as service
    and storage material sales revenues. Storage revenues consist of periodic
    charges related to the storage of materials (either on a per unit or per
    cubic foot of records basis). In certain circumstances, based upon customer
    requirements, storage revenues include periodic charges associated with
    normal, recurring service activities. Service and storage material sales
    revenues are comprised of charges for related service activities, the sale
    of storage materials and courier operations. In certain circumstances,
    storage material sales are recorded net of product costs when Old Iron
    Mountain functions as a sales representative of the product manufacturer and
    does not receive or take title to the products. Customers are generally
    billed on a monthly basis on contractually agreed-upon terms.

    Storage and service revenues are recognized in the month the respective
    service is provided. Storage material sales are recognized when shipped to
    the customer. Amounts related to future storage for customers where storage
    fees are billed in advance are accounted for as deferred income and
    amortized over the applicable period.

    l. Deferred Rent

    Old Iron Mountain has entered into various leases for buildings used in the
    storage of records. Certain leases have fixed escalation clauses or other
    features which require normalization of the rental expense over the life of
    the lease resulting in deferred rent being reflected in the accompanying
    balance sheets. In addition, Old Iron Mountain has assumed various above
    market leases in connection with certain of its acquisitions. The discounted
    present value of these lease obligations in excess of market rate at the
    date of the acquisition was recorded as a deferred rent liability and is
    being amortized over the remaining lives of the respective leases.

    m. Stock-Based Compensation

    Effective January 1, 1996, Old Iron Mountain adopted the provisions of SFAS
    No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Old Iron Mountain has
    elected to continue to account for stock

    n. Reclassifications

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1998 financial
    statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.

3. COMMON STOCK SPLIT

    On June 30, 1998, Old Iron Mountain's Board of Directors authorized and
approved a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a dividend on Old
Iron Mountain's common stock. Such additional shares of common stock were issued
on July 31, 1998 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on
July 17, 1998. All issued and outstanding share and per share amounts in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and Notes thereto have been
restated to reflect the stock split.

4. DEBT (CONTINUED)

    a. Revolving Credit Facility

    As of December 31, 1999, Old Iron Mountain had a $250 million revolving
    credit facility, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), which was scheduled to
    mature on September 30, 2002.

    The Credit Agreement specified certain minimum or maximum relationships
    between EBITDA (as defined therein) and interest, total debt and fixed
    charges. There were restrictions on dividends declared by Old Iron Mountain,
    sales or pledging of assets, investments and changes in business and
    ownership; cash dividends were effectively prohibited. Old Iron Mountain was
    in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 1999. Loans under
    the Credit Agreement were secured by pledges of the capital stock of all of
    Old Iron Mountain's domestic subsidiaries.

    The interest rate on loans under the Credit Agreement varied depending on
    Old Iron Mountain's choice of base rates, plus an applicable margin. The
    applicable margin varied depending on the base rate selected and certain
    debt ratios. The timing of interest payments also varied with the base rate
    selected. At December 31, 1999, the effective interest rate was 7.71%.

    Effective February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain amended and restated its
    revolving credit facility (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to increase the
    aggregate principal amount available to $400 million and to include the
    ability to borrow in certain foreign currencies. The Amended Credit
    Agreement matures on January 31, 2005. The interest rate on borrowings under
    this Amended Credit Agreement varies depending on Old Iron Mountain's choice
    of base rates, plus an applicable margin. Restrictive covenants under this
    agreement are similar to those under the Credit Agreement.

    b. 1996 Notes

    On October 1, 1996, Old Iron Mountain issued $165 million of 10 1/8% Senior
    Subordinated Notes due 2006. Interest on the 1996 Notes is payable
    semiannually on April 1 and October 1 and commenced on April 1, 1997. The
    net proceeds of $160.1 million after underwriting discounts and commissions
    were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under Old Iron Mountain's
    revolving credit facility, to fund the purchase price of acquisitions and
    for general corporate purposes.

    The 1996 Notes contain covenants and restrictions similar to, or less
    restrictive than, the Amended Credit Agreement. After September 30, 2001,
    and subject to certain restrictions, Old Iron Mountain may, at its option,
    redeem any or all of the 1996 Notes at face value, plus a premium ranging
    from approximately 2% to 5% through September 30, 2004. Thereafter, the 1996
    Notes may be redeemed at face value. Additionally, under certain
    circumstances, including a change of control or following certain asset
    sales, the holders of the 1996 Notes may require Old Iron Mountain to
    repurchase the 1996 Notes.

    c. 1997 Notes

    On October 24, 1997, Old Iron Mountain issued $250 million of 8 3/4% Senior
    Subordinated Notes due 2009. Interest on the 1997 Notes is payable
    semiannually on March 31 and September 30 and commenced on March 31, 1998.
    The net proceeds of $242.6 million after an original issue discount of $485

5. SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PARENT, GUARANTORS AND
NON-GUARANTORS

    As of December 31, 1999, the 1996, 1997 and 1999 Notes were fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, and on a senior
subordinated basis, by most, but not all, of Old Iron Mountain's direct and
indirect domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). At December 31,
1999, IM Europe and its subsidiaries, Sistemas de Archivo Corporativo, S. de
R.L. de C.V. and its subsidiaries, Iron Mountain Records Management (Puerto
Rico), Inc. and certain parent holding companies (the "Non-Guarantors") are the
only subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 1996 Notes, the 1997 Notes or the
1999 Notes.

    Prior to the acquisition of a 50.1% interest in IM Europe in January 1999,
substantially all of Old Iron Mountain's operations were conducted by its direct
and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, all of which, other than Arcus Data
Security Limited ("ADS"), were guarantors of the 1996 Notes and 1997 Notes. ADS
represented less than 1% of Old Iron Mountain's consolidated revenues and was
not material to its results of operations. Old Iron Mountain's management does
not believe that separate financial statements of, and other disclosures with
respect to, the Guarantors for periods prior to 1999 are meaningful or material
to investors. Accordingly, no such financial statements were provided for fiscal
1997 and 1998.

    Allocation of the purchase price for these acquisitions was based on
estimates of the fair value of net assets acquired and, for acquisitions
completed in 1999, is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase
price allocation. Old Iron Mountain is not aware of any information that would
indicate that the final purchase price allocations will differ significantly
from preliminary estimates.

    The following unaudited pro forma combined information shows the results of
Old Iron Mountain's operations for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 as
though each of the significant acquisitions completed during 1998 and 1999 had
occurred on January 1, 1998:

    The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and
are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations had the
acquisitions taken place as of January 1, 1998 or the results that may occur in
the future. Furthermore, the pro forma results do not give effect to all cost
savings or incremental costs which may occur as a result of the integration and
consolidation of the acquired businesses. Certain acquisitions completed in 1998
and 1999 are not included in the pro forma results as their effect was
immaterial.

    In connection with the acquisitions completed in 1997, 1998 and 1999, Old
Iron Mountain has 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.
These restructuring activities were recorded as costs of the acquisitions and
were provided in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3,
"Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination."
Old Iron Mountain finalizes its restructuring plans for each business no later
than one year from the date of acquisition. Unresolved matters at December 31,
1999 primarily include completion of planned abandonments of facilities and
severances for certain acquisitions completed during 1998 and 1999.

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

    At December 31, 1998 the restructuring reserves related to acquisitions
consisted of lease losses on abandoned facilities ($4.4 million), severance
costs for approximately 12 people ($1.8 million) and other exit costs

which are based on contracts that extend through 2005 and long-term severance
contracts of approximately $1.2 million that extend through 2013.

    At December 31, 1999 the restructuring reserves related to acquisitions
consisted of lease losses on abandoned facilities ($4.8 million), severance

    Except for the options granted in connection with acquisitions, the stock
options were granted with exercise prices equal to the market price of the stock
at the date of grant. The majority of options become exercisable ratably over a
period of five years unless the holder terminates employment. The number of
shares available for grant at December 31, 1999 was 552,896.

    Effective January 1, 1996, Old Iron Mountain adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Old Iron Mountain has
elected to continue to account for stock options issued to employees at their
intrinsic value with disclosure of fair value accounting on net income (loss)
and earnings (loss) per share on a pro forma basis. Had Old Iron Mountain
elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options
granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss applicable to
common stockholders and net loss per common share would have been increased to
the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

8. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE--BASIC AND DILUTED

    In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic income (loss) per common share is
calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted
income (loss) per share is consistent with that of basic income (loss) per share
but gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares (that is, securities
such as options, warrants or convertible securities) that were outstanding
during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    In June 1999, in order to focus on its records and information management
services ("RIMS") business, Old Iron Mountain decided to sell its information
technology staffing business ("IT Staffing"), Arcus Staffing Resources, Inc.
("Arcus Staffing"), which was acquired in January 1998 as part of the
acquisition of Arcus Group, Inc. ("Arcus Group"). Effective November 1, 1999,
Old Iron Mountain completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Arcus
Staffing. The terms of the sale include contingent payments for a period of
18 months which may result in a revision of the recorded loss during 2000 or
2001. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 30, the sale of Arcus Staffing was accounted for as a discontinued
operation. Accordingly, the Arcus Staffing operations were segregated from Old
Iron Mountain's continuing operations and reported as a separate line item on
Old Iron Mountain's consolidated statement of operations. The following table
sets forth the revenue and net income from discontinued operations for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and the ten months ended October 31, 1999:

</TABLE>

    Old Iron Mountain has recorded an estimated loss on the sale of Arcus
Staffing of $13,400. The estimated loss is comprised of a write-off of
nondeductible and deductible goodwill, a deferred tax benefit and estimated
expenses directly related to the transaction partially offset by the estimated
income from operations of Arcus Staffing through the date of disposition.

10. INCOME TAXES

    Old Iron Mountain accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of
temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets
and liabilities.

    The components of income (loss) from continuing operations before provision
(benefit) for income taxes and minority interest are:

</TABLE>

    Old Iron Mountain has estimated federal net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $59,000 at December 31, 1999 to reduce future federal income
taxes, if any, which begin to expire in 2005. The preceding net operating loss
carryforwards do not include preacquisition net operating loss carryforwards of
Arcus Group. Any tax benefit related to these loss carryforwards will be
recorded as a reduction of goodwill, if and when realized. Old Iron Mountain
also has estimated state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$25,000 to reduce future state income taxes, if any. Additionally, Old Iron
Mountain has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $587, which have no
expiration date and are available to reduce future income taxes, if any.

10. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
    Old Iron Mountain receives a tax deduction upon exercise of non-qualified
stock options by employees for the difference between the exercise price and the
market price of the underlying common stock on the date of exercise, which is
included in the net operating loss carryforwards above. A valuation allowance
was recorded in 1998 for this tax asset because of the uncertainty of its
realization. The valuation allowance was reversed in 1999 and the tax benefit
credited to paid in capital or, for options granted in connection with
acquisitions, to goodwill.

    Old Iron Mountain and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal
income tax return. The provision (benefit) for income tax consists of the
following components:

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    On December 31, 1998, Old Iron Mountain adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). The new
rules establish revised standards for public companies relating to the reporting
of financial and descriptive information about their operating segments in
financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not have a material effect on
Old Iron Mountain's financial statements.

    During 1998, Old Iron Mountain classified its operations into two
fundamental businesses: RIMS and IT Staffing. The reportable segments were
managed separately since each business has different economic characteristics
based on the differing customer requirements and the nature of the services
provided. In June 1999, Old Iron Mountain decided to sell its IT Staffing
business, Arcus Staffing, as discussed in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. The results of operations of Arcus Staffing have been
classified and reported as discontinued operations in Old Iron Mountain's
statements of operations. Consequently, Old Iron Mountain now operates in a
single segment, the RIMS business.

    Information is not provided for 1997 because Old Iron Mountain had no
international operations in that year.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    a. Leases

    Old Iron Mountain leases most of its facilities under various operating
    leases. A majority of these leases have renewal options of five to ten years
    and have either fixed or Consumer Price Index escalation clauses. Old Iron
    Mountain also leases equipment under operating leases, primarily computers
    which have an average lease life of three years. Trucks and office equipment
    are also leased and have remaining lease lives ranging from one to seven
    years. Rent expense was $29,332, $47,049 and $59,113 for the years ended
    December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

    Minimum future lease payments are as follows:

Thereafter..................................................   178,595

Total minimum lease payments................................  $440,539
                                                              ========
</TABLE>

    Included in the lease commitments disclosed in the preceding paragraph are
    certain five-year operating lease agreements signed in 1998 and 1999 for
    specified records storage warehouses. At the end of the lease term, Old Iron
    Mountain, at its option, may: (i) negotiate a renewal of the lease;
    (ii) purchase the properties at a price equal to the lessor's original cost
    (approximately $32.9 million); or (iii) allow the lease to expire and cause
    the properties to be sold. Old Iron Mountain's ability to cause the
    properties to be sold depends upon its compliance with certain terms of the
    lease. Under certain conditions, Old Iron Mountain would receive any excess
    of the net sales proceeds over the

                                       77

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
    properties' original cost. In the event that the net sales proceeds are less
    than 85% of the properties' original cost, Old Iron Mountain would make
    certain contingent rental payments to the lessor equal to that difference,
    subject to a maximum amount.

    b. Facility Fire

    In March 1997, Old Iron Mountain experienced three fires, all of which
    authorities have determined were caused by arson. These fires resulted in
    damage to one and destruction of Old Iron Mountain's other RIMS facility in
    South Brunswick Township, New Jersey.

    Some of Old Iron Mountain's customers or their insurance carriers have
    asserted claims as a consequence of the destruction of or damage to their
    records as a result of the fires, some of which allege negligence or other
    culpability on the part of Old Iron Mountain. Old Iron Mountain has received
    notices of claims and lawsuits filed by customers and abutters seeking
    damages against Old Iron Mountain and to rescind their written contracts
    with Old Iron Mountain. Old Iron Mountain denies any liability as a result
    of the destruction of or damage to customer records as a result of the
    fires, which were beyond its control, and intends to vigorously defend
    itself against these and any other lawsuits that may arise. Old Iron
    Mountain is also pursuing coverage of these claims and lawsuits with its
    various insurers. The claims process is lengthy and its outcome cannot be
    predicted with certainty.

    Based on its present assessment of the situation, management, after
    consultation with legal counsel, does not believe that the fires will have a
    material adverse effect on Old Iron Mountain's financial condition or
    results of operations, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

    In June 1998, Old Iron Mountain settled several insurance claims, including
    a significant claim under its business interruption policy, related to the
    fires. Other income, net, for the year ended December 31, 1998 includes a
    $1.7 million gain related to the settlement.

    c. Other Litigation

    Old Iron Mountain is presently involved as a defendant in various litigation
    which has occurred in the normal course of business. Management believes it
    has meritorious defenses in all such actions, and in any event, the amount
    of damages, if such matters were decided adversely, would not have a
    material adverse effect on Old Iron Mountain's financial condition or
    results of operations.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    Old Iron Mountain leases space to an affiliated company, Schooner Capital
LLC ("Schooner"), for its corporate headquarters located in Boston,
Massachusetts. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, Schooner
paid Old Iron Mountain rent totaling $85, $90 and $94, respectively. Prior to
1999, Old Iron Mountain leased one facility from a landlord who was a related
party. Total rental payments for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 for
this facility totaled $99 each year. In the opinion of management, both of these
leases were entered into at market prices and terms.

15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    a. Profit Sharing Retirement Plan

    Old Iron Mountain has a defined contribution plan, which generally covers
    all non-union U.S. employees meeting certain service requirements. Eligible
    employees may elect to defer from 1% to 20% of compensation per pay period
    up to the amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. Old Iron Mountain
    makes matching contributions based on the amount of an employee's
    contribution, according to a schedule as described in the plan documents.
    Old Iron Mountain has expensed $642, $910 and $1,890 for the years ended
    December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

    b. Employee Stock Purchase Plan

    On March 23, 1998, Old Iron Mountain introduced an employee stock purchase
    plan (the "Plan"), which is available for participation by substantially all
    employees who have met certain service requirements. The Plan was approved
    by the shareholders of Old Iron Mountain on May 28, 1998 and commenced
    operations on October 1, 1998. The Plan provides a way for eligible
    employees of Old Iron Mountain to become shareholders of Old Iron Mountain
    on favorable terms. The Plan provides for the purchase of up to 375,000
    shares of Old Iron Mountain's common stock by eligible employees through
    successive offering periods. At the start of each offering period,
    participating employees are granted options to acquire Old Iron Mountain's
    common stock. During each offering period, participating employees
    accumulate after-tax payroll contributions, up to a maximum of 15% of their
    compensation, to pay the exercise price of their options. At the end of the
    offering period, outstanding options are exercised, and each employee's
    accumulated contributions are used to purchase common stock of Old Iron
    Mountain. The price for shares purchased under the Plan is 85% of their
    market price at either the beginning or the end of the offering period,
    whichever is lower.

    The first offering period commenced on October 1, 1998 and expired on
    September 30, 1999. The second offering period of the Plan commenced on
    October 1, 1999 and will expire on March 31, 2000. With respect to the first
    offering period, participants are not permitted to sell or assign any common
    stock acquired under the Plan until October 2, 2000. Effective as of the
    second offering period, restrictions on the transfer of common stock
    acquired under the Plan have been eliminated. There were 0 and 50,907 shares
    purchased under the Plan for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999,
    respectively.

    See Note 6 for liabilities assumed in acquisitions.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    a. Completed Acquisitions

    On February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain completed the acquisition of Pierce
    Leahy Corp. ("Pierce Leahy") in a stock-for-stock merger valued at
    approximately $1.1 billion. The acquisition was structured as a reverse
    merger with Pierce Leahy being the surviving legal entity and immediately
    changing its name to Iron Mountain Incorporated (the "Company"). Based on
    the number of shares of Old Iron Mountain and Pierce Leahy common stock
    outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger, immediately
    after the merger former stockholders of Old Iron Mountain owned
    approximately 65% of the Company's Common Stock. Because of this share
    ownership, Old Iron Mountain is considered the acquiring entity for
    accounting purposes. The total consideration for this transaction was
    comprised of: (i) approximately 18.8 million shares of the Company's Common
    Stock with a fair value of approximately $444 million; (ii) options to
    acquire approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company's Common Stock with
    a fair value of approximately $25 million; (iii) assumption of Pierce Leahy
    debt with a fair value of approximately $579 million; and (iv) incurrence of
    approximately $4 million of capitalized transaction costs. The acquisition
    will be accounted for as a purchase.

    In addition, in January 2000, Old Iron Mountain acquired one, and in
    February 2000, the Company acquired another, records management business for
    total consideration of approximately $11.7 million in cash. The acquisitions
    will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

    b. Pending Acquisition (Unaudited)

    In February 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of
    the assets of a RIMS business for aggregate consideration of approximately
    $54 million in cash. The acquisition, which is subject to customary closing
    conditions, is expected to close in May 2000, though there can be no
    assurances in this regard, and will be accounted for as a purchase.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Iron Mountain Incorporated:

    We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, the consolidated financial statements of Iron Mountain
Incorporated (a Delaware corporation) for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999 and have issued our report thereon dated February 28,
2000. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those basic
financial statements taken as a whole. We did not audit the financial statements
of Iron Mountain Europe Limited as of October 31, 1999. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for this entity, is based
solely on the report of the other auditors. The supplemental schedule listed in
the accompanying index is the responsibility of the Iron Mountain Incorporated's
management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, based on our
audit and the report of other auditors, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Iron Mountain Incorporated (formerly known as Pierce Leahy Corp.):

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pierce Leahy
Corp. (a Pennsylvania corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and
1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999. 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 audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Pierce Leahy Corp. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

    Pierce Leahy Corp. ("Pierce Leahy") stores and services business records for
customers throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Pierce
Leahy also sells storage containers and provides records management consulting
services, imaging services and marketing literature storage and fulfillment

Corp. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    b.  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 amount 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.

    c.  Property, Plant and Equipment

    Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided
using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of
the assets.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                               DECEMBER 31, 1999

                (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software and
also requires that costs related to the preliminary project stage and
post-implementation/operations stage in an internal-use computer software
development project be charged to expense as incurred. Pierce Leahy adopted SOP
98-1 effective January 1, 1999 and charged $451 of costs to expense in 1999 that
would have been capitalized under the previous policy.

    d.  Goodwill

    Goodwill reflects the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of
companies acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized using the
straight-line method from the date of acquisition over the expected period to be
benefited, estimated at 30 years. Pierce Leahy assesses the recoverability of
goodwill, as well as other long-lived assets, based upon expectations of future
undiscounted cash flows in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." At December 31, 1999, no
adjustment of the carrying values of long-lived assets was necessary. As of
December 31, 1998 and 1999, goodwill was $337,409 and $381,449, respectively,
and accumulated amortization of goodwill was $17,646 and $30,311, respectively.

    e.  Customer Acquisition Costs

    The unreimbursed costs of moving the records of new customers into Pierce
Leahy facilities and sales commissions related to new customers contracts have
been capitalized and are included in other assets in the accompanying balance
sheets. All such costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over six
years, which represents the average initial contract term. Pierce Leahy assesses
whether amortization using a six year average initial contract term varies
significantly from using a specific contract basis. Such difference has not been
material. As of December 31, 1998 and 1999, those costs were $37,033 and
$54,603, respectively, and accumulated amortization of those costs were $13,396
and $20,767, respectively.

    f.  Deferred Financing costs

    Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related debt
using the straight-line method. If debt is retired early, unamortized deferred
financing costs are written off as an extraordinary charge in the period the
debt is retired. As of December 31, 1998 and 1999, deferred financing costs were
$13,825 and $15,169, respectively, and accumulated amortization of those costs
were $2,514 and $4,152, respectively.

    g.  Deferred Rent

    Certain Pierce Leahy leases for warehouse space provide for scheduled rent
increases over the lease terms. Pierce Leahy recognizes rent expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease terms, with the excess rent charged to
expense over the amount paid recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying
balance sheets.

</TABLE>

    i.  Health Insurance Reserve

    Pierce Leahy self-insures for benefit claims under a health insurance plan
provided to employees. The self-insurance was limited to $100 in claims per
insured individual per year for both 1998 and 1999, and a liability for claims
incurred but not reported is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets.
Specific stop-loss insurance coverage is maintained to cover claims in excess of
the coverage per insured individual per year.

    j.  Income Taxes

    Prior to July 1, 1997, Pierce Leahy was an S Corporation for federal and
state income tax purposes, and, accordingly, income and losses were passed
through to the shareholders and taxed at the individual level. On July 1, 1997,
in connection with Pierce Leahy's initial public offering, Pierce Leahy
terminated its S Corporation election and currently is subject to federal and
state income taxes.

    Pierce Leahy applies SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences, measured by enacted tax rates, attributable to
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards, for years in which taxes are expected to be
paid or recovered.

    k.  Revenue Recognition

    Storage and service revenues are recognized in the month the respective
service is provided. Storage material sales are recognized when shipped to the
customer. Deferred income represents amounts invoiced for storage services in
advance of the rendering of the services. The costs of storage and service
revenues are not separately distinguishable, as the revenue producing activities
are interdependent and costs are not directly attributable or allocable in a
meaningful way to those activities.

    l.  Merger-Related Expenses

    Merger-related expenses in 1999 represent primarily non-capitalizable
expenses directly related to Pierce Leahy's merger with Iron Mountain
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Old Iron Mountain"). These expenses
consist primarily of financial advisor, legal, accounting and consulting fees,
SEC filing fees and other transaction-related costs.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    m. Foreign Currency

    The balance sheets of Pierce Leahy Canada Company and Archivex Limited,
Pierce Leahy's Canadian subsidiaries, and the balance sheet of Pierce Leahy
Europe Limited, Pierce Leahy's U.K. subsidiary, are translated into U.S. dollars
using the rate of exchange at period end. The statements of operations for the
Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the
average exchange rate for the period. Net unrecognized exchange gains or losses
resulting from the translation of the balance sheets are accumulated and
included as comprehensive income (loss) on the statement of shareholders'
equity. Exchange gains and losses are recognized during the period, including
those related to the U.S. dollar denominated 8 1/8% Senior Notes of Pierce Leahy
Canada Company due in 2008, and are included in Pierce Leahy's consolidated
statements of operations.

    n.  Comprehensive Income

    In 1998, Pierce Leahy adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive
income, and the components that apply to Pierce Leahy include net income and
foreign currency translation adjustments. Pierce Leahy reports comprehensive
income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity. The prior year
financial statements have been restated to conform to the reporting requirements
of SFAS No. 130.

    o.  Pro Forma Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

    Prior to July 1, 1997, Pierce Leahy was an S Corporation for federal and
state income tax purposes. The pro forma income tax provision for 1997 reflects
taxes that would have been recorded on the historical loss before income taxes,
at an effective rate of 39%, had Pierce Leahy not been an S Corporation during
such period. The basic and diluted pro forma net loss per share is computed by
dividing pro forma net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period.

    All share and per share data has been restated to reflect the stock dividend
of one-tenth of a share of common stock for each share of common stock
outstanding that was paid on January 14, 2000.

    p.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for
hedging activities and is effective for all fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. Management has not yet completed its assessment of the effects of
this pronouncement.

    q.  Reclassification

    The prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with
the current year presentation.

    a.  11 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006

    In July 1996, Pierce Leahy issued $200,000 of Senior Subordinated Notes in a
private offering that were later exchanged for registered notes with
substantially identical terms (the "1996 Notes"). The 1996 Notes are general
unsecured obligations of Pierce Leahy, subordinated in right of payment to
senior indebtedness of Pierce Leahy and senior in right of payment to any
current or future subordinated indebtedness. The 1996 Notes are guaranteed by
the U.S. subsidiaries of Pierce Leahy and secured by a second lien on 65% of the
stock of Pierce Leahy's Canadian subsidiaries. The 1996 Notes mature on
July 15, 2006, and bear interest at 11 1/8% per year, payable semiannually in
arrears on January 15 and July 15. The proceeds from the sale of the 1996 Notes
were used to retire certain existing indebtedness of Pierce Leahy under its
previous credit facilities, to purchase certain properties from related party
partnerships, to redeem stock from a shareholder, to fund an acquisition and for
general corporate purposes. Upon completion of Pierce Leahy's initial public
offering of its common stock in July 1997 (see Note 5), Pierce Leahy exercised
an option to redeem $70,000 principal amount of the 1996 Notes. The resulting
$7,000 prepayment penalty along with the write-off of a portion of the
unamortized deferred financing costs of $3,050, net of an income tax benefit of
$4,014, was recorded as an extraordinary charge in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.

    b.  9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007

    In July 1997, Pierce Leahy issued $120,000 of Senior Subordinated Notes (the
"1997 Notes") in a public offering. The 1997 Notes are general unsecured
obligations of Pierce Leahy, subordinated in right of payment to the senior
indebtedness of Pierce Leahy and senior in right of payment to any current or
future subordinated indebtedness. The 1997 Notes are guaranteed by the U.S.
subsidiaries of Pierce Leahy and secured by a third lien on 65% of the stock of
Pierce Leahy's Canadian subsidiaries. The 1997 Notes are equal in right of
payment with the 1996 Notes. The 1997 Notes mature on July 7, 2007, and bear
interest at 9 1/8% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and
July 15. The proceeds from the sale of

3. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
the 1997 Notes were used to repay outstanding borrowings under a previous credit
facility and for general corporate purposes.

    c.  8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2008

    In April 1998, Pierce Leahy Canada Company, Pierce Leahy's principal
Canadian subsidiary, issued $135,000 of Senior Notes in a private offering that
were later exchanged for registered notes with substantially identical terms
(the "1998 Notes"). The 1998 Notes are general unsecured obligations of Pierce
Leahy Canada Company ranking PARI PASSU in right of payment to all existing and
future senior unsecured indebtedness of Pierce Leahy Canada Company. The 1998
Notes are effectively subordinated to secured indebtedness of Pierce Leahy
Canada Company to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 1998
Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Pierce Leahy and Pierce
Leahy's U.S. subsidiaries, which guarantees are equal in right of payment with
the 1996 Notes and 1997 Notes. The 1998 Notes mature on May 15, 2008, and bear
interest at 8 1/8% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in U.S. dollars on
May 15 and November 15. The proceeds from the sale of the 1998 Notes were used
primarily to finance the acquisition of Archivex Inc., to repay outstanding
borrowings under the credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

    d.  Revolving Credit Facility

    In December 1999, Pierce Leahy amended its credit facility to provide for a
revolving line of credit of U.S. $195,000 in borrowings and CDN $40,000 in
borrowings for Pierce Leahy Canada Company. The credit facility is senior to all
subordinated indebtedness of Pierce Leahy and is secured by substantially all of
the assets of Pierce Leahy, and a first lien on 65% of the stock of Pierce
Leahy's Canadian subsidiaries. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at
prime plus an applicable margin, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, at the
option of Pierce Leahy. In addition to interest and other customary fees, Pierce
Leahy is obligated to remit a fee of 0.375% per year on unused commitments,
payable quarterly. The aggregate available commitment under the credit facility
will be reduced on a quarterly basis beginning September 30, 2001. The credit
facility matures on June 30, 2004, unless previously terminated. Pierce Leahy's
available borrowing capacity under the credit facility is contingent upon Pierce
Leahy meeting certain financial ratios and other criteria.

    The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the U.S.
portion of the revolver at December 31, 1999 was 9.18%. The highest amount
outstanding during the year ended December 31, 1999 was $159,500, the average
amount outstanding during the year was $152,500, and the weighted average
interest rate was 7.61%. The highest amount outstanding under the U.S. revolver
during the year ended December 31, 1998 was $125,500, the average amount
outstanding during the year was $79,150, and the weighted average interest rate
was 7.95%.

    The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the Canadian
portion of the revolver at December 31, 1999 was 7.44%. The highest amounts
outstanding during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, were CDN $35,000
and $33,500, respectively. The average amounts outstanding in 1998 and 1999,
respectively, were CDN $8,750 and $8,083, while the weighted average interest
rates were 8.51% and 7.18%, respectively.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
    As a result of the merger with Old Iron Mountain on February 1, 2000,
borrowings outstanding under the credit facility became due and payable. The
credit facility was terminated when the surviving Company of the merger paid in
full the outstanding balance with borrowings from the amended and restated
credit facility of the combined Company after the merger.

    e.  Mortgage Notes

    In connection with the purchase of real estate and acquisitions during 1997
and 1998, Pierce Leahy assumed several mortgages on real property. The mortgages
bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 10.5% and require monthly principal
and interest payments of approximately $65 per month through 2002 and $34
through 2009. During 1999, there were no mortgage notes assumed in connection
with any purchase of real estate or acquisitions.

    f.  Seller Notes

    In connection with certain acquisitions completed in 1998 and 1999, notes
for $3,175 and $18,923, respectively, were issued to the sellers. The notes bear
interest at rates ranging from 5% to 8% per year. One of the Seller notes has an
outstanding balance of $17,462 at December 31, 1999, is due on demand through
2009 and is classified as a current portion of long-term debt. The outstanding
balances on the other notes at December 31, 1999 mature through 2000.

    Future scheduled principal payments on all of Pierce Leahy's long-term debt
at December 31, 1999 are as follows:

    Pierce Leahy is in compliance with all financial and operating covenants
required under all indentures and under its credit facility.

    g.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    For certain of Pierce Leahy's financial instruments, including accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, mortgages, Seller notes and
credit facility, management believes that the carrying amounts approximate fair
value due to the short maturities.

5. INCOME TAXES

    Pierce Leahy accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities.

    Pierce Leahy has estimated federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $20,400 for the United States, $8,210 for Canada
and $129 for the United Kingdom at December 31, 1999 to reduce future income
taxes, if any. These net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in
2012.

    The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented
below:

    In July 1997, Pierce Leahy completed an initial public offering of 6,230,419

stock dividend, Pierce Leahy increased common stock by $17, additional paid-in
capital by $64,213 and accumulated deficit by $64,230 in January 2000. All share
and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change.

    b.  Stock Options

    In September 1994, Pierce Leahy established a non-qualified stock option
plan which provides for the granting of options to key employees to purchase an
aggregate of 1,329,276 shares of common stock. The shares available for grant
were increased by 313,388 in December 1996. Option grants have an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Before
Pierce Leahy consummated its initial public offering of common stock in
July 1997 (see above), the fair market value of the options was determined based
upon a formula, as defined in the option plan. The options granted vest in five
equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of
grant, except as discussed below.

    Upon the consummation of Pierce Leahy's initial public offering of common
stock in July 1997, options granted during 1997 became fully vested and
exercisable as provided for under the plan. Pierce Leahy recorded a
non-recurring, non-cash compensation charge of $1,752 relating to those options,
representing the difference between the exercise price and the deemed value for
accounting purposes.

    In April 1997, Pierce Leahy adopted its 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997
Plan") which provides for the granting of stock options to purchase up to
1,650,000 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors, consultants
and advisors of Pierce Leahy. The 1997 Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Grants may consist of
incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The option price of any
incentive stock option granted will not be less than the fair value of the
underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant. The option price of a
non-qualified stock option will be determined by the Committee and may be
greater than, equal to or less than the fair market value of the underlying
shares of common stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be
determined by the Committee, provided that the exercise period may not exceed
10 years from the date of grant. The options granted may be subject to vesting
and other conditions.

</TABLE>

    Subsequent to December 31, 1999, Pierce Leahy issued 184,800 options to
employees at an exercise price of $32.88 per share.

    The Pierce Leahy Board of Directors determined that it was appropriate,
prior to completion of the merger with Old Iron Mountain, to accelerate in
January 2000 the vesting of certain remaining unvested options. These included
all remaining options granted under Pierce Leahy's nonqualified stock option
plan and the unvested options granted under the 1997 Plan for four nonemployee
directors, as these directors will not continue as directors of the combined
Company after the merger. Pierce Leahy recorded in January 2000 a non-cash
compensation charge of approximately $2,021 relating to these options,
representing the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value
for accounting purposes, after the adjustment for the one-tenth of a share stock
dividend paid on January 14, 2000.

6. CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
    In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value
based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. This statement
also applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to
acquire goods or services from non-employees. SFAS No. 123 requires that an
employer's financial statements include certain disclosures about stock-based
employee compensation arrangements regardless of the method used to account for
the plan.

    The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for
the grants in 1997, 1998 and 1999:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                    1997       1998       1999

Expected volatility.............................      20%         45%        32%
</TABLE>

    The approximate fair value of each option granted in 1997, 1998 and 1999 is
$1.89, $10.35 and $10.30, respectively, as determined under the provisions of
SFAS No. 123. The following pro forma results would have been reported had
compensation cost been recorded for the fair value of the options granted:

<TABLE>

                                                                1997       1998       1999

</TABLE>

    The SFAS No. 123 method of accounting is applied only to options granted on
or after January 1, 1995. The resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be
representative of the amount to be expected in future years due to the vesting
schedule of the options.

    All share and per share data has been restated to reflect the stock dividend
of one-tenth of a share of common stock for each share of common stock
outstanding that was paid on January 14, 2000.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    a.  Operating Leases At December 31, 1999, Pierce Leahy was obligated under
       non-cancelable operating leases, including the related-party leases
       discussed below, for warehouse and office space, office equipment and
       transportation equipment. These leases expire at various times through
       2024 and require minimum rentals, subject to escalation, as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>

                                                              --------
                                                              $306,615
                                                              ========
</TABLE>

    Rent expense for all leases was approximately $21,657, $31,077 and $37,481
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Some of the
leases for warehouse space provide for purchase options on the facilities at
certain dates.

    Pierce Leahy leases office and warehouse space that is owned by certain
shareholders, officers and employees of Pierce Leahy at prices which, in the
opinion of management, approximate market rates. Rent expense on these leases
was approximately $845, $901 and $901 for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1998 and 1999, respectively.

    b.  Other Matters

    Pierce Leahy is party to various claims arising in the ordinary course of
business. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters is presently not
determinable, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not
believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect
on Pierce Leahy's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

    In June 1997, Pierce Leahy entered into a tax indemnification agreement with
its then current shareholders that provides for: (i) the distribution to such
shareholders of cash equal to the product of Pierce Leahy's taxable income for
the period from January 1, 1997 until July 1, 1997 and the sum of the highest
effective federal and state income tax rate applicable to any current
shareholder, less any prior distributions to such shareholders to pay taxes for
such period, and (ii) an indemnification of such shareholders for any losses or
liabilities with respect to any additional taxes (including interest, penalties
and legal fees) resulting from Pierce Leahy's operations during the period in
which it was a Subchapter S Corporation.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic
and diluted earnings per share. According to SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per
share, which replaces primary earnings per share, is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)
Diluted earnings per share, which replaces fully diluted earnings per share,
reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities
into common stock, such as stock options and warrants. Pierce Leahy adopted SFAS
No. 128 in 1997.

    The weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding for
purposes of calculating net income (loss) per common share are computed as
follows:

</TABLE>

    For 1997 and 1998 there were no dilutive effects of stock options as Pierce
Leahy had a loss for the year. For 1999, Pierce Leahy had income which caused a
dilutive effect of stock options. Options for 553 shares for 1997 and 623 shares
for 1998 were not considered as they were anti-dilutive.

    All share and per share data has been restated to reflect the stock dividend
of one-tenth of a share of common stock for each share of common stock
outstanding that was paid on January 14, 2000.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    Pierce Leahy has an agreement with a shareholder of Pierce Leahy that
requires pension payments of $8 per month until the later of the death of the
shareholder or his spouse. The present value of the benefit is recorded in
accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

    Pierce Leahy paid financial advisory fees to an investment banking firm of
which a director of Pierce Leahy was a managing director. The fees were
approximately $62 in 1997, $0 in 1998, and $0 in 1999. In addition, the
investment banking firm received $1,800 from the underwriters of the 1997 Notes
and Pierce Leahy's initial public offering and $310 from the placement agent for
the 1998 Notes.

    Pierce Leahy paid real estate advisory fees to a firm of which a director of
Pierce Leahy is the owner. The fees were approximately $88 in 1997 and $8 in
1998.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    Pierce Leahy maintains a discretionary profit sharing plan with a 401(k)
feature for substantially all full-time employees over the age of 20 1/2 and
with more than 1,000 hours of service. Participants in the plan may elect to
defer a specified percentage of their compensation on a pretax basis. Pierce
Leahy is required to make matching contributions equal to 25% of the employee's
contribution up to a maximum of 2% of the employee's annual compensation. Pierce
Leahy may also make a discretionary profit sharing contribution to the plan. A
discretionary profit sharing contribution was made in 1997 and 1998 and is
anticipated for 1999. Participants become vested in Pierce Leahy's matching
contribution over three to seven years.

                (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
The expense relating to these plans was $892, $1,209 and $1,792 for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

11. REDEEMABLE PAY-IN-KIND PREFERRED STOCK

    In February 1999, Pierce Leahy entered into an agreement to issue up to
$15,000 of redeemable payment-in-kind ("PIK") preferred stock. This stock was
redeemable at any time during the 10 year term with an initial annual dividend
rate of 11.36%, subject to increase under certain circumstances, including
subsequent issuances of preferred stock (depending on certain interest rates at
such time) and if the preferred stock is not redeemed prior to six months from
its initial issuance. Pierce Leahy issued $5,000 of the redeemable PIK preferred
stock in March 1999 and incurred fees of approximately $385, providing net
proceeds of approximately $4,615. On November 1, 1999, Pierce Leahy redeemed all
of the outstanding redeemable PIK preferred stock and paid all remaining
dividends. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the accretion to redemption
value was $385 and dividend payments of $389 were made to the preferred
shareholders.

12. ACQUISITIONS

    In 1997, Pierce Leahy completed 17 acquisitions, of which 15 were recorded
under the purchase method of accounting, while the other two acquisitions were
accounted for as poolings of interests. The 15 acquisitions accounted for under
the purchase method had an aggregate purchase price of $108,627, consisting
primarily of $102,068 in net cash, 179,593 shares of common stock with a fair
value of $4,907 and $1,652 in Seller notes. For purposes of computing the
purchase price for accounting purposes, the value of the shares issued is
determined using a discount of 10% from the market value at the day of issuance
due to certain restrictions on the sale and transferability of shares issued.
The most significant of these acquisitions was one acquisition for $9,084 in
January 1997 and another for $62,000 in April 1997; all others were individually
less than $8,000.

    During 1997, Pierce Leahy also completed two mergers with records management
businesses by exchanging an aggregate of 181,891 shares of common stock for the
stock of these entities. These mergers constituted tax free reorganizations and
have been accounted for as poolings of interests under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 16. Prior periods have not been restated for the acquisitions
due to the immateriality of the transactions, and the book value of net assets
acquired of $407 has been recorded as additional paid-in capital. The results of
operations for each acquisition have been included in the consolidated results
of Pierce Leahy from their respective acquisition dates.

    In 1998, Pierce Leahy completed 16 acquisitions for an aggregate purchase
price of $204,070, consisting primarily of $186,486 in net cash, 603,088 shares
of common stock with a deemed value of $14,409 and $3,175 in Seller notes. The
most significant of these acquisitions was one transaction for $59,000 in
April 1998, another for $30,000 in May 1998 and a third for $52,000 in
July 1998; all others were individually less than $15,000. All of the
acquisitions in 1998 were recorded under the purchase method of accounting.

    In 1999, Pierce Leahy completed four acquisitions for an aggregate purchase
price of $42,249, consisting primarily of $23,326 in net cash and $18,923 in
Seller notes. The most significant of these

acquisitions was Datavault Limited, a U.K. based records management company with
operations in seven markets throughout England and Scotland. The acquisition was
financed with borrowings under Pierce Leahy's credit facility and the issuance
of Seller notes. All of the acquisitions in 1999 were recorded under the
purchase method of accounting.

    In addition to these payments, the acquisitions in 1997 and 1998 provided
for non-compete obligations of $60 and $40, respectively, payable over one year.
The non-compete obligations at December 31, 1998 and 1999 were $166 and $0,
respectively. The results of operations for each of these acquisitions have been
included in the consolidated results of Pierce Leahy from the respective
acquisition dates. For acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method, the
excess of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been
allocated to goodwill ($91,047 in 1997, $178,049 in 1998 and $39,924 in 1999)
and is being amortized over the estimated benefit period of 30 years.

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

savings or incremental costs which may occur as a result of the integration and
consolidation of the acquired companies.

    Allocation of the purchase price for these acquisitions was based on
estimates of the fair value of net assets acquired and, for acquisitions
completed in 1999, is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase
price allocation. Pierce Leahy is not aware of any information that would
indicate that the final purchase price allocations will differ significantly
from preliminary estimates.

    In connection with the acquisitions completed in 1998 and 1999, Pierce Leahy
has undertaken certain restructurings of the acquired businesses. The
restructuring activities include certain reductions in staffing levels, costs
related to the exit of duplicate facilities ("exit costs") and other costs
associated with exiting certain activities of the acquired businesses. These
restructuring activities were recorded as costs of the acquisitions in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, "Recognition of
Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination."

    Pierce Leahy finalizes its restructuring plans for each business no later
than one year from the date of acquisition. Unresolved matters at December 31,
1999 primarily include completion of planned abandonments of facilities and
severances for certain acquisitions completed during 1999.

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

    At December 31, 1998, the acquisition accruals were for other exit costs of
$1,240 and severance costs of $545. These accounts are expected to be used
within one year of the finalization of the restructuring plan.

    At December 31, 1999, the acquisition accruals were for other exit costs of
$1,865 and severance costs of $535. These accruals are expected to be used
within one year of the finalization of the restructuring plan.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    a. Completed Acquisitions

    On February 1, 2000, Old Iron Mountain completed the acquisition of Pierce
Leahy in a stock-for-stock merger valued at approximately $1.1 billion. The
acquisition was structured as a reverse merger with Pierce Leahy being the
surviving legal entity and immediately changing its name to Iron Mountain
Incorporated (the "Company"). Based on the number of shares of Old Iron Mountain
and Pierce Leahy common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of
the merger, immediately after the merger former stockholders of Old Iron
Mountain owned approximately 65% of the Company's Common Stock. Because of this
share ownership, Old Iron Mountain is considered the acquiring entity for
accounting purposes. The total consideration for this transaction was comprised
of: (i) approximately 18.8 million shares of the Company's Common Stock with a
fair value of approximately $444 million; (ii) options to acquire approximately
1.5 million shares of the Company's Common Stock with a fair value of
approximately $25 million; (iii) assumption of Pierce Leahy debt with a fair
value of approximately $579 million; and (iv) incurrence of approximately
$4 million of capitalized transaction costs. The aquisition will be accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting.

    We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in

the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements

                       REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of Iron Mountain Europe Limited:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Iron Mountain
Europe Limited as of October 31, 1999 and the related consolidated statement of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the ten months
ended October 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of Iron Mountain Europe Limited. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States 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 from 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 consolidated financial position of
Iron Mountain Europe Limited at October 31, 1999 and the consolidated results of
its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the ten months ended
October 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CORPORATE STATUS

    NATURE OF BUSINESS

    The accompanying financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of
Iron Mountain Europe Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively "Iron Mountain
Europe" or "IM Europe"). IM Europe is a full service provider of records and
information management services throughout Europe to Government departments, as
well as to commercial, professional, financial and energy businesses. IM Europe
operates primarily in this one business segment.

    IM Europe's name was changed to Iron Mountain Europe Limited from Britannia
Data Management Limited on September 22, 1999.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    IM Europe maintains its accounts in accordance with accounting principles
and practices employed by enterprises in their respective country of operation,
whereas the accompanying financial statements reflect certain adjustments not
recorded in IM Europe's books, to present these statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These
financial statements have been translated into US dollars.

    IM Europe was acquired by Mentmore Abbey plc ("Mentmore Abbey") in
October 1996. The accompanying financial statements reflect the "push down" of
Mentmore Abbey's purchase accounting. The financial statements do not reflect
the purchase accounting recorded in Iron Mountain (UK) Limited's (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Iron Mountain Incorporated) books for its purchase of a 50.1%
interest in IM Europe (see Note 4).

    IM Europe has elected an October 31 fiscal year end. The results of
operations represent the ten month period since the acquisition of 50.1% of IM
Europe by Iron Mountain (UK) Limited on January 4, 1999.

    The consolidated financial statements are not comparable to the United
Kingdom consolidated financial statements.

    The significant adjustments made to present the financial statements in
accordance with GAAP relate primarily to accounting for goodwill and income
taxes.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and
results of operations of Iron Mountain Europe on a consolidated basis. All
significant intercompany account balances have been eliminated.

B.  USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the 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.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C.  REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenues consist of storage revenues and service and storage material sales
revenues. Storage revenues consist of periodic charges related to the storage of
materials (either on a per unit or per cubic foot of records basis). In certain
circumstances, based upon customer requirements, storage revenues include
periodic charges associated with normal recurring service activities. Service
and storage material sales revenues are comprised of charges for related service
activities and the sale of storage materials. Customers are generally billed on
a monthly basis on contractually agreed-upon terms.

    Storage and service revenues are recognized in the month the respective
service is provided. Storage material sales are recognized when shipped to the
customer. Amounts related to future storage for customers, where storage fees
are billed in advance, are accounted for as deferred income and amortized over
the applicable period.

D.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash invested in
short-term securities which have original maturities of less than 90 days. Cash
and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value.

E.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

    Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the
straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:

    Minor maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements to the
leased buildings are capitalized as leasehold improvements and depreciated.

F.  GOODWILL

    Goodwill reflects the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of
companies acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is amortized using the
straight line method from the date of acquisition over the expected period to be
benefited, currently estimated at 30 years. The recoverability of goodwill is

*   Relates to the acquisition of Iron Mountain Europe Limited by Mentmore Abbey
    plc.

dyeline film and paper.

H.  DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

    Provision is made at current rates for taxation deferred in respect of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes.

I.  DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

    IM Europe operates a defined contribution plan. The assets of the plan are

Currency Translation." Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in the
"Accumulated other comprehensive items" component of stockholders' equity.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the accompanying
statements of operations and are not material for the ten months presented.

K.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    Comprehensive income combines net income and "other comprehensive items,
net," which represents certain amounts that are reported as components of
stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheet, including foreign
currency translation adjustments. At October 31, 1999 the balance of accumulated
other comprehensive items represents IM Europe's cumulative translation
adjustment.

4. ACQUISITIONS

    IM Europe purchased five records management businesses during the ten months
to October 31, 1999. Each acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations for each
acquisition have been included in the consolidated results of IM Europe from
their respective acquisition dates. The excess of the purchase price over the
underlying fair value of the assets and liabilities of each acquisition has been
assigned to goodwill and is being amortized over the estimated benefit period of
30 years.

    A summary of the consideration paid and resulting goodwill is as follows:

    In January 1999, Iron Mountain (UK) Limited became a 50.1% stockholder in IM
Europe. This was effected through: i) the purchase of shares by Iron Mountain
(UK) Limited directly from Mentmore Abbey, ii) the issuance of 400,000 shares by
IM Europe to Iron Mountain (UK) Limited in exchange for L4,000 cash, iii) the
purchase of IM Europe shares by Iron Mountain (UK) Limited from Abbey Storage

    c.  Facilities

    On May 28, 1999, IM Europe entered into a bank facility agreement to fund
future acquisitions and support working capital requirements. The facility was
comprised of a term loan ($15,300), a revolving credit facility ($14,100) and a
working capital facility. All payments are payable in UK Sterling.

    The facilities are secured by the assets of IM Europe and guaranteed by
corporate cross guarantees, incorporating letters of offset, by each company in
the consolidated group. The facility agreement includes certain financial and
non-financial covenants and restrictions based on net income and net worth. IM
Europe is in compliance with all covenants at October 31, 1999.

    Principal and interest payments on the term loan are payable twice a year
through March 31, 2006. The effective rate of interest on the term loan is 1%
over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). At October 31, 1999, $13,700
of the principal remained outstanding.

    The revolving credit facility and working capital facility mature on
December 30, 2001. Interest payments are payable monthly based on 1% over LIBOR.

    On August 25, 1998, Stortext entered into a $900 revolving facility to fund
capital expenditures and the repayment of certain term loans. The facility is
subject to an effective rate of interest of 2% over the banks' base rate and is
secured by certain of Stortext's assets. At October 31, 1999, $900 of the
facility was outstanding. The facility has been repaid in full subsequent to
October 31, 1999.

    Also on August 25, 1998, Stortext entered into a $600 line of credit
facility. The effective rate of interest on this facility is 1% over LIBOR. The
facility was unused at October 31, 1999.

    At October 31, 1999, Datavault had three unsecured line of credit facilities
to fund ongoing operating activities. All payments are payable in Spanish
pesetas. The effective rate of interest on all three facilities is
EURIBOR plus 1%. The total amount available under the facilities is $300 and
none of the facilities were utilized at October 31, 1999.

    At October 31, 1999, Memogarde had a number of facilities to fund capital
expenditure and working capital requirements. The total value outstanding on the
facilities at October 31, 1999 was $13,560. All payments are made in French
francs. The fair value of these facilities is not significantly different from
their carrying value. The facilities include a $3,356 term loan with a fixed
effective interest rate of 4.69%. This was unused at October 31, 1999. The
facilities also include a $10,068 term loan with a fixed effective interest rate
of 4.5%. At October 31, 1999, the outstanding amount on this loan was $10,068.
It has an expiry date of December 30, 2001. Memogarde's facilities include five
facilities with a fixed effective interest rate.

6. INCOME TAXES

    Income taxes have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, which
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and financial
reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The primary temporary differences are
due to timing differences from the depreciation of property, plant and
equipment. IM Europe had aggregate gross deferred tax assets of $74 at
October 31, 1999, and aggregate gross deferred tax liabilities of $1,352 at
October 31, 1999.

initially adjusted as set forth in Schedule 2.2(d) hereto (the "Initial
Adjustment Statement"), which shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller no later

the following, to the extent known or then subject to calculation, as of the
Effective Time:

                    (i)  Buyer shall receive a dollar for dollar credit against
the Purchase Price for any deferred revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP
for which Seller has received payment prior to the Effective Time.

                    (ii) Buyer shall receive a dollar for dollar credit against
the Purchase Price (a) to the extent that the Seller Accounts Receivable as of
the Effective Time are below $1,560,000, and (b) for any Seller Accounts
Receivable which are outstanding more than one hundred and twenty (120) days as
of the Effective Time. Buyer shall make reasonable commercial efforts to collect
any Seller Accounts Receivable that are deducted from the


                                       7
<PAGE>

Purchase Price pursuant to clause (b) above, and shall remit any such amounts to
Seller promptly after receipt thereof.

                    (iii) With respect to ongoing expenses (excluding income
taxes) the billing period for which extends across the Effective Time, Buyer and
Seller shall make adjustments to the Purchase Price as of the Effective Time so
that Seller bears the costs of operating the Business properly accruable under
GAAP in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time and Buyer bears the
cost thereof properly accruable under GAAP in respect of the period commencing
at the Effective Time and thereafter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no purchase price
adjustment shall be made for Seller's failure to accrue lease payments on a
straight line basis in accordance with GAAP.

         Section 2.3. ALLOCATION. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among
each of the Subject Assets and to the Confidentiality and Non-Competition
Agreements in the manner set forth in a schedule, which shall be agreed upon by
Buyer and Seller no later than the tenth (10th) business day prior to the
Closing Date. In the event that Seller and the Non-Competition Parties cannot
agree on the allocation of Purchase Price to the Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreements on or before the tenth (10th) business day prior to
the Closing Date, the amount allocated to the Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreements shall be in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

         Section 2.4. POST-CLOSING ADJUSTMENT. Within ninety (90) days after the
Closing Date, Buyer shall (a) review and adjust the Initial Adjustment Statement
(as adjusted, the "Final Adjustment Statement") to reflect any changes from the
adjustments shown on the Initial Adjustment Statement that are necessary to
properly reflect the items set forth in Sections 2.2(d)(i),(ii) and (iii), and
(b) deliver such Final Adjustment Statement to Seller. Seller shall have thirty
(30) days after its receipt to review the Final Adjustment Statement, together
with the work papers used in the preparation thereof. Unless Seller delivers
written notice to Buyer on or before the 30th day after Seller's receipt of the
Final Adjustment Statement, specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items
and the basis therefor (a "Dispute Notice"), Seller shall be deemed to have
accepted and agreed to the Final Adjustment Statement. Thereafter, Buyer or
Seller, as the case may be, shall promptly remit to the other any amounts owed
as reflected on the Final Adjustment Statement.

         If Seller so notifies Buyer of its objection to the Final Adjustment
Statement, Seller and Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days following such
Dispute Notice (the "Resolution Period"), attempt in good faith to resolve their
differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be
final, binding and conclusive. Any dispute with regard to the final Purchase
Price adjustment that is not resolved during the Resolution Period shall be
submitted to an independent public accounting firm acceptable to both parties
(the "Neutral Auditor"). Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the
Neutral Auditor, a reasonable engagement letter. All fees and expenses relating
to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditor shall be borne
equally by the Buyer and Seller. The Neutral Auditor shall act as an arbitrator
to determine, based solely on presentations by the Buyer and Seller only those
issues still in dispute. In no event may the Neutral Auditor consider any
issues, amounts or matters not disputed under Section 2.2(d). The Neutral
Auditor's determination shall be made within sixty


                                       8
<PAGE>

(60) days of its selection, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered
to the Buyer and Seller and shall be final, binding, conclusive and
non-appealable by the parties.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                            OF SELLER AND STOCKHOLDER

corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of either Florida or Massachusetts, as applicable, and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate, sell and lease its
properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Seller has all
requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its
obligations under, this Agreement. Seller is qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where failure to so qualify would have
a material adverse impact on the Subject Assets or the Business.

         Section 3.2. AUTHORIZATION. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder, and all
transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action. This Agreement has been, and the other agreements
and documents required to be delivered by Seller or Stockholder in accordance
with the provisions hereof (the "Seller's Documents") will be, duly executed and
delivered by duly authorized officers on behalf of Seller or the Stockholder, as
the case may be; and this Agreement constitutes, and the Seller's Documents when
executed and delivered will constitute, the valid and binding obligations of
Seller and the Stockholder, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws from time to time in
effect affecting creditors' rights generally and by legal and equitable
limitations on the availability of specific remedies (the "Enforceability
Limitations").

         Section 3.3. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. Neither the execution
and delivery by Seller or Stockholder of this Agreement and the Seller's
Documents, nor the consummation by Seller or Stockholder of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, will, with or without the giving of notice or
passage of time, or both, (i) conflict with, or result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under any Charter Documents or applicable law or
(ii) except for any records storage Contracts with customers of Seller that are
not assignable by their terms, as to which no representation is made under this
Section 3.3, conflict with or violate, breach, or constitute a default under, or
permit the termination or acceleration of maturity of, or result in the
imposition of any Encumbrance upon any Subject Asset pursuant to any provision
of, any note, bond, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, evidence of indebtedness
or other Contract or any judgment, order, injunction or decree by which Seller
or Stockholder is bound, to which either of them is a party, or to which the
Subject Assets are subject; nor is the effectiveness or enforceability of this
Agreement or such other documents adversely affected by any provision of the
Charter Documents of Seller.

Contracts with its customers, as to which no representation is made under this
Section 3.4, no authorization, consent or approval of, or filing with, any
governmental agency, authority or other body or any other third persons will be
required in connection with Seller's or Stockholder's execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby other

         Section 3.5. TITLE; JUDICIAL ORDERS; SUFFICIENCY. Seller has, or at
Closing will have, good and marketable title to all the Subject Assets, free and
clear of all Encumbrances except as set forth on Schedule 3.5, which Schedule
identifies leases for vehicles and equipment (if any) as well as Encumbrances.
All Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances and except for liabilities
and obligations to be assumed by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i)) shall be
satisfied and discharged at or before Closing. Seller is not a party to, nor are
the Subject Assets subject to, any judgment, judicial order, writ, injunction or
decree that adversely affects the Subject Assets or the use thereof by Seller.
The Subject Assets include all assets used, useful to or held by Seller in the
operation of the Business, except as set forth on Schedule 3.5.

         Section 3.6. CONTRACTS AND OTHER INTERESTS.

          (a)  Listed on Schedule 3.6(a) are all Material Contracts (including
all customer contracts which constitute Material Contracts) relating to the
ownership and operation of the Subject Assets or the conduct of Business or to
which the Subject Assets are subject. Subject to the Enforceability Limitations
and except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 3.6(a), all such Material
Contracts are in full force and effect, valid and enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms against Seller and, to Seller's knowledge, against the
other parties thereto; and there are no existing material defaults of Seller or,
to Seller's knowledge, the other party thereto, or events of default that, with
the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute material
defaults of Seller or the other party thereto under any such Contracts, nor are
material amendments pending with respect to any such Contracts.

          (b)  Seller has provided Buyer with copies of (i) the Seller's records
storage contracts with its twenty-five (25) largest customers as measured by
revenue generation during the year ended December 31, 1999 for each geographic

its standard form of records storage contract.

          (c)  Schedule 3.6(c) lists Seller's ten largest customers (measured by
storage revenues during the year ended December 31, 1999). Seller has delivered
a copy of each written Contract it has with each such customer to Buyer.

          (d)  To Seller's knowledge, Seller has no oral agreements with
customers which require Seller to provide storage or services at no charge or at

Seller's written customer contracts, except for immaterial discounts and/or free

complaint and there is no action or suit, equitable or legal, to which Seller is
a party, nor any administrative, arbitration or other proceeding pending or, to
Seller's knowledge, threatened against Seller in respect of the Subject Assets
or the Business, nor, to the Seller's knowledge, is there any valid basis
therefor. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8, during the past two (2) years
Seller has not received any written assertions from customers of the Business to
the effect that their materials stored with Seller have been lost, damaged or
inappropriately destroyed or that such customers are being or have been billed

respect to any currently effective judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree,
demand or assessment issued by any court or any federal, state, municipal or
other governmental agency, board, commission, bureau, instrumentality or
department that relates to Seller's operation of the Business or the Subject
Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8, to Seller's knowledge, Seller is

effect on the Subject Assets or the Business.

                                   ARTICLE 4.

<PAGE>

shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party
hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

         Section 5.2. CONFIDENTIALITY.

          (a)  Seller, Stockholder and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and
Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall not use or disclose to
others, or permit the use or disclosure of, any and all non-public information
furnished by each to the other (including confidential information transmitted
by each to its representatives, accountants, counsel, advisors or bankers
("Representatives")) in the course of negotiations relating to this Agreement
and the business and financial reviews and investigations referred to in this
Agreement, except to their respective officers, directors, employees and
Representatives who need to know such information (and who will each be subject
to confidentiality as provided herein) in connection with this Agreement.

          (b)  Each of Buyer, Seller and Stockholder agrees that at no time
shall it or its Representatives use or knowingly permit any other person or
entity to examine, use or derive benefit from any non-public information of the
other without the other's express written consent. None of Buyer, Seller or
Stockholder shall disclose any such non-public information to anyone other than
its Representatives and to those third parties who have a reasonable need for
such information, which third parties have been advised of the confidential
nature of the information and, other than those persons or entities to whom
disclosure is made pursuant to Section 5.2(c), have agreed in writing to be
bound by the terms of this Section 5.2 or a similar confidentiality agreement.
The duty of non-disclosure shall not apply to information which: (i) was in the
public domain at the time it was communicated to Buyer, Seller or Stockholder or
subsequently enters the public domain through no fault of Buyer, Seller or
Stockholder; (ii) Buyer, Seller or Stockholder can prove was already known to
such party at the time of receipt; (iii) was rightfully communicated to Buyer,
Seller or Stockholder free of any obligation of non-disclosure and without
restriction as to use; or (iv) is disclosed by Buyer, Seller or Stockholder
pursuant to judicial order or other compulsion of law, provided that each party
shall give the others prompt notice of any such order and shall comply with any
protective order (or equivalent) imposed on such disclosure.

have the right to include disclosure regarding the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement in any registration statement, filing or other report which IMI,
Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates files with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, including in each case any
financial and other information concerning Seller and the transactions
contemplated hereby, required in connection therewith; (ii) disclosure of such
information may be made to the extent required by judicial or regulatory
process, and reviews by financial institutions which are lenders to either party
so long as such lenders have been advised of the confidential nature of such
information; (iii) such information may be used to the extent necessary as
evidence in or in connection with any pending or threatened litigation relating
to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby; and (iv) Seller may
disclose the existence of this Agreement to customers, landlords, lenders,
employees or others to the extent reasonably necessary for the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.

<PAGE>

          (d)  In the event that the sale contemplated by this Agreement is not
consummated for any reason, each party agrees to return to the other party all
materials containing nonpublic information provided by the other immediately
with or without request. The confidentiality obligation set forth in this
Section 5.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

          (e)  Each party agrees that the confidential information of the other
party is unique and that its release or misuse in contravention of the terms of
this Agreement may not be compensable in monetary damages and that the
non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek appropriate injunctive relief
therefor. In connection therewith the parties waive the claim or defense that an
adequate remedy exists at law.

         Section 5.3. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Without intending to
limit the generality of Section 5.2, Seller (i) shall use its reasonable best
efforts to supply financial statements for the Business (and any and all
documents and consents related thereto) which comply with Regulation S-X under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the applicable published rules and
regulations thereunder for inclusion in any registration statement or other
public filing of IMI under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the applicable published rules
and regulations thereunder, and any other offering circular or document used by
IMI in any other offering of securities, whether public or private, (ii) shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause Seller's independent accountants to
cooperate with IMI in connection with the foregoing (including, without
limitation, using reasonable best efforts to cause such independent accountants
to deliver so-called "comfort letters," written consents and representation
letters relating to the foregoing), and (iii) shall engage its independent
accountants to perform a quarterly review of the Seller's financial statements
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 in accordance with Statements on Auditing
Standards No. 71; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall reimburse Seller for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its compliance
with this Section 5.3; PROVIDED FURTHER that such reimbursement obligation shall
not extend to any services that would ordinarily be provided by such accountants
to Seller. The Seller shall complete and deliver its December 31, 1999 audited
financial statements to the Buyer on or before April 15, 2000. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees that it will (i) consent to the
use of such audited financial statements in any such registration statement,
document or circular and (ii) execute and deliver, and cause its officers to
execute and deliver, such "representation" letters as are customarily delivered
in connection with audits and as Seller's and IMI's independent accountants may
reasonably request under the circumstances.

         Section 5.4 SELLER'S EMPLOYEES. Buyer shall not be obligated to offer
employment to any Seller Employee in connection with the acquisition of the
Subject Assets, and such acquisition shall not grant any Seller Employee a right
of continued employment with Buyer. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing no
later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day prior to the
Closing of the names of those Seller Employees to whom Buyer intends to offer
employment at Closing. Such notification shall reflect Buyer's good faith
intentions at such time, but shall not constitute an obligation of Buyer to
offer initial or continued employment to any such employee. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be obligated to hire or
otherwise employ any Seller Employee or former employee of Seller who is


                                       22

<PAGE>

reinstated under, or who voluntarily returns to any previous employment position
pursuant to, any settlement agreement or any arbitration, judicial or
administrative action, order, decree or other process to which Buyer is not a
party. Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree on the timing and content of a
program of communications to employees and customers of the Business in respect
of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that Seller may elect to
inform its employees of the pending transaction if it determines such disclosure
is necessary or desirable.

         Section 5.5. CONTINUED EFFORTS.

          (a)  Each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable business efforts
(i) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done,
all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby (the "Transactions"), and (ii) to refrain from
taking, or cause to be refrained from taking, any action and to refrain from
doing or causing to be done, anything which could impede or impair the
consummation of the Transactions, including, in all cases, without limitation
using its reasonable business efforts (A) to prepare and file with the
applicable governmental authorities as promptly as practicable after the
execution of this Agreement all requisite applications and amendments thereto,
together with related information, data and exhibits, necessary to request
issuance of orders approving the Transactions by all such applicable
authorities, (B) to obtain all necessary or appropriate waivers, consents and
approvals, (C) to effect all necessary registrations, filings and submissions
(including without limitation filings within three (3) business days of the date
of this Agreement under the HSR Act), (D) to lift any injunction or other legal
bar to the Transactions (and, in such case, to proceed therewith as
expeditiously as possible), (E) to obtain the satisfaction of the conditions
specified in Articles 6 and 7, and (F) to advise the other of any disclosure
schedule changes that would be required if the applicable representations and
warranties set forth in Articles 3 and 4 did not refer to the date of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
in connection with or as a condition to receiving the consent or approval of any
governmental authority or otherwise, IMI shall not be required to divest,
abandon, license or take similar action with respect to any assets (tangible or
intangible) of it or any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the
Subject Assets after the Closing).

          (b)  The parties hereto shall cooperate with one another in the
preparation of all tax returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents
regarding any Taxes or transfer, recording, registration or other fees which
become payable in connection with the Transactions and which are required to be
filed on or before the Closing Date.

         Section 5.6. OPERATION OF BUSINESS PRIOR TO CLOSING. From the date
hereof until the Effective Time, Seller shall conduct the Business in the
ordinary course consistent with past practice, including, without limitation, by
acquiring and erecting racking and making other customary capital expenditures,
and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and service the
Business, to keep available the services of present employees and agents and to
maintain existing business relationships. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Seller shall not take any of the actions described in Section 3.22
and Seller (a) shall comply with (i) all material laws, regulations and other
requirements from time to time applicable of every governmental body having
jurisdiction of the Owned and Leased Premises or the use or occupancy of the
Improvements located thereon consistent with Seller's conduct of the Business


                                       23
<PAGE>

prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii) all terms, covenants and conditions
of all instruments of record and other agreements affecting the Owned and Leased
Premises, (b) shall continue to operate the Owned and Leased Premises as
currently operated in a good and businesslike fashion consistent with its past
practices and cause the Owned and Leased Premises to be maintained in good
working order and condition in a manner consistent with its past practice, and
(c) shall not take any action to accelerate the collection of any accounts
receivable.

         Section 5.7. MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. From the date hereof until
the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer monthly financial statements
related to the Business promptly after they become available.

         Section 5.8. NOTICE OF DEVELOPMENTS. Each party shall give prompt
notice to the other of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any Event the
occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause (i) any
representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement to be untrue
or inaccurate, (ii) any change to be made in its disclosure schedules, or (iii)
any failure of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy,
or be able to comply with or satisfy, any material covenant, condition or
agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder. No disclosure by
Seller or Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.8 which constitutes a material change
in information originally presented in this Agreement or in its schedules shall
constitute a waiver by the party receiving such disclosure of any condition to
such party's obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby unless the
party to which such disclosure is made agrees in writing to waive such condition
(it being understood that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section
5.8 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the
party receiving such notice).

         Section 5.9. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Until the Closing, or in the event
of termination of this Agreement, each party shall consult with the other before
issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not
issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior
consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that

does not intend to offer employment at Closing pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof,
and (ii) who Buyer determines will be necessary to assist with the transition of
the Business and the Subject Assets to Buyer for a period not to exceed sixty
(60) days following the Closing Date. Seller shall use reasonable commercial
efforts to continue the employment of such Seller Employees (on the terms and
conditions of employment existing at the Effective Time, unless otherwise
approved by Buyer) and Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts to make
such continuing Seller Employees available to Buyer. Any COBRA or severance
payments for such continuing Seller Employees shall be paid by Seller. The
salary and other expenses of such continuing Seller Employees, including the
special bonus payments required to retain such Seller Employees' services (the
"Bonuses") shall also be paid by Seller, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall
reimburse Seller for such salary, expenses and Bonuses promptly upon receipt of

destroyed customer records which may give rise to an indemnification Claim under
Article 11. Buyer shall utilize all commercially reasonable efforts to locate
any missing or misplaced storage boxes or other containers for which it may seek
indemnification under Article 11. In addition, Buyer shall provide Seller with
reasonable access during normal business hours to its facilities and records
(including electronic records and related computers) in order to permit Seller
to locate such missing or misplaced boxes or other storage containers, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Seller shall not unreasonably disrupt Buyer's business operations
in connection with such efforts.

Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, all rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder, other than the confidentiality obligation set forth in Section 5.2,

damage or destruction to $3.00 or less per standard letter legal carton, if it
cannot be determined with reasonable certainty whether the date of such loss,
damage or destruction occurred prior to or after the Effective Time, provided
that, with respect to any loss, damage or destruction described in this Section
11.2(a)(iv), Seller shall indemnify Buyer for only fifty percent (50%) of any
such Loss and Expense, and (v) any hazardous substance, hazardous material or

obtains actual knowledge of any breach, untruth or inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of Seller or Seller's failure to perform any any
pre-Closing covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any Collateral
Document which, in either case, would reasonably be expected to cause the Seller
to fail to satisfy any condition precedent contained in Article 6, and (ii)
Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing, it shall be deemed to have waived any
right thereafter to assert any claim with respect to such breach, untruth,
inaccuracy or failure of performance so known. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, Buyer shall have actual knowledge of a breach, untruth, inaccuracy or
failure of performance only if actual knowledge thereof is possessed by any one

knowledge of any breach, untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
of Buyer or Buyer's failure to perform any pre-Closing covenant or agreement set
forth in this Agreement or any Collateral Document, or (B) between the date
hereof and the Closing Date, obtains actual knowledge of any breach, untruth or
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer or Buyer's failure to
perform any pre-Closing covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any
Collateral Document which, in either case, would reasonably be expected to cause
the Buyer to fail to satisfy any condition precedent contained in Article 7, and
(ii) Seller elects to proceed with the Closing, it shall be deemed to have
waived any right thereafter to assert any claim with respect to such breach,
untruth, inaccuracy or failure of performance so known. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, Seller shall have actual knowledge of a breach, untruth,
inaccuracy or failure of performance only if actual knowledge thereof is
possessed by any one or more of the following individuals: James Spinney, Barry

Closing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover their Loss
and Expense in respect of (i) any Claim under Section 11.2(a)(i) (other than as
a result of any breach of the representation or



                                       34
<PAGE>

warranty contained in Section 3.26 or that relates to lost, damaged or
improperly destroyed records of customers) only in the event that the aggregate
Loss and Expense for all Claims exceed, in the aggregate, $250,000, in which
event the indemnified party shall be entitled to recover all such Loss and
Expense including such $250,000; and (ii) any Claim (A) under Section 11.2(a)(i)
(other than as a result of any breach of the representation or warranty
contained in Section 3.26), (B) under Section 11.2(a)(iv) or (C) relating to
lost, damaged or improperly destroyed records of customers (including, without
limitation, any such event that also constitutes an Excluded Liability) only to
the extent that the aggregate Loss and Expense for all Claims do not exceed
$5,400,000. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the limitations on
recovery of Loss and Expense described in this Section 11.3(a) shall not apply
to any Claim relating to lost, damaged or improperly destroyed records of
customers described in the parenthetical clause contained in Section
11.2(a)(iii).

          (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision herein contained, Buyer may
(but shall not be required to), at any time during the Escrow Period, set-off
against the Escrow Amount any amounts for which the Seller or Stockholder is
required to indemnify the Buyer if and to the extent the Seller or Stockholder
has not previously paid any such amount. In no event shall such right to set-off
against the Escrow Amount be deemed to constitute a limitation on the liability
of Seller or the Stockholders under the provisions of this Article 11.

         Section 11.4. NOTICE OF CLAIMS. If an indemnified party believes that
it has suffered or incurred any Loss and Expense, it shall notify the
indemnifying party promptly in writing, and in any event within the applicable
Indemnity Period specified in Section 11.1, describing such Loss and Expense,
all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions
of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss and Expense shall have occurred.
If any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding is instituted by a third
party with respect to which an indemnified party intends to claim any liability
or expense as Loss and Expense under this Article, such indemnified party shall
promptly notify the indemnifying party of such legal action. In no event shall
the failure to notify the indemnifying party under this Section relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article, except to the extent
such failure to notify prejudices such indemnifying party (including, without
limitation, its ability to defend against such claim).

         Section 11.5. DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. The indemnifying party
shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its own
choosing, reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party, any third party legal
action or other claim, but the indemnified party may, at its election,
participate in the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the indemnifying party shall fail to defend any such legal
action or other claim, then the indemnified party may defend, through counsel of
its own choosing, such legal action or other claim, and (so long as it gives the
indemnifying party at least fifteen (15) days' notice of the terms of the
proposed settlement thereof and permits the indemnifying party to then undertake
the defense thereof) settle such legal action or other claim and to recover the
amount of such settlement or of any judgment and the reasonable costs and
expenses of such defense. The indemnifying party shall not compromise or settle
any such legal action or other claim without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or
conditioned if the terms and conditions of such compromise or settlement
proposed by the indemnifying party and agreed to in writing by the claimant in
such legal action



                                       35
<PAGE>

or other claim (the "Settlement Proposal") (a) include a full release of the
indemnified party from the legal action or other claim which is the subject of
the Settlement Proposal, and (b) if the indemnified party is a Buyer Indemnified
Party, do not include any term or condition which would restrict in any material
manner the continued ownership or operations of the Subject Assets or the
conduct of the Business in substantially the manner previously owned, operated
and conducted by Seller. No matter whether an indemnifying party defends or
prosecutes any third party legal action or claim, the indemnified and
indemnifying parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such
cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the
indemnifying party to, and reasonable retention by the indemnified party of,
records and information which are reasonably relevant to such third party legal
action or claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis
to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided
hereunder, and the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for
all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

         Section 11.6. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Except for fraud, willful and
intentional misrepresentation or willful and intentional breach of warranty,
covenant or agreement, the indemnification provided in this Article shall be the
sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any party against any other
party for any claim relating to this Agreement.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT, made this 1st day of February, 2000, by and between
Pierce Leahy Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation (hereinafter called "Employer"),

                                   BACKGROUND

          A.   Executive has been President and Chief Executive Officer of
Employer prior to the execution of this Agreement.

          B. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Iron Mountain
Incorporated ("Iron Mountain") is merging into Employer (the "Merger") and as
a condition to the Merger Employer and Executive are entering into this

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the facts, mutual promises and
covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, Employer
and Executive agree as follows:

          1.   EMPLOYMENT. Employer hereby agrees to employ Executive and
Executive hereby accepts employment by Employer for the period and upon the
terms and conditions specified in this Agreement.

          2.   OFFICE AND DUTIES.

               (a)  Executive shall serve Employer generally as (i) President of

of businesses of similar size. In such capacities, Executive shall report
directly to C. Richard Reese ("Reese").

               (b)  Executive shall serve as a member of the Board of Directors
of Employer unless he is not elected by the shareholders of Employer.

               (c)  So long as Executive shall remain an employee of Employer,

time, energy and skill to the performance of his duties hereunder.

<PAGE>

within a twenty-five mile radius of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, or such other
location as is consented to by Executive. It is understood however and agreed

and/or spend time at such other locations, Executive's reasonable travel
expenses shall be reimbursed by Employer, upon submittal of vouchers in
accordance with the general reimbursement policies of Employer, or at
Executive's request, he shall be entitled to receive reasonable advances of such
travel expenses.

     3.   TERM. The term of employment ("Term of Employment") of Executive
pursuant to this Agreement shall be four (4) years, commencing on the date the
Merger is effective (as determined pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
by and among Iron Mountain and Employer dated as of October 20, 1999). Unless
either party elects to terminate this Agreement at the end of the initial or any
renewal term by giving the other party written notice of such election at least

Executive shall have the same opportunity to participate in Employer's bonus
plans and arrangements as Reese.

          (b)  Base Compensation will be reviewed at the first time after the
date hereof that Employer generally reviews its senior executives and annually
thereafter, and may be increased in connection with such review if and to the
extent such an increase is determined to be appropriate by the Board of
Directors of Employer. Executive's Base Compensation in any year shall not be
less than the Base Compensation in the preceding year.

          (c)  Executive shall receive stock options in the same number and
under the same terms as Reese receives such options. "Stock options" for the
purposes of this paragraph shall be defined broadly and shall include by way of
example stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and other incentive

     5.   FRINGE BENEFITS.

         As an inducement to Executive to enter into this Agreement, and in

Executive's employment due to Executive's death or Disability, Executive or

          (b)  any performance or special incentive bonus earned but not yet
paid;

          (c)  pro rata bonus or other bonus(es) for the year in which

     9.   TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.

          (a)  Employer may terminate Executive's employment relationship with
Employer at any time for Cause in the manner set forth below.

                  "Cause"  shall mean:

               (i)  Executive is imprisoned for more than thirty (30)
consecutive days for any crime or convicted of a FELONY or other crime involving
moral turpitude or has entered a plea of nolo contendere (or similar plea) to a
charge of such an offense;

               (ii) Executive's willful misconduct in the performance of his
duties and responsibilities hereunder or Executive's material neglect, refusal
or failure to perform his employment duties and responsibilities on more than
one occasion, other than for reasons of sickness, accident or similar causes
beyond Executive's control; or

               (iii) Executive willfully violates Section 13 of this Agreement.

          (b)  If Employer believes that an event constituting Cause has
occurred, Employer must give Executive written notice of its intention to
terminate this Agreement for Cause. The preceding sentence notwithstanding,
Executive's employment shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause
unless (i)  Employer has given or delivered to Executive reasonable notice
setting forth the reasons for Employer's intention to terminate Executive's
employment for Cause; (ii) if the written notice is of an event constituting
Cause as defined herein and if and only if the event is capable of being
cured, Executive shall have thirty (30) days following actual receipt of such
notice in which to cure; (iii) Executive shall have been given a reasonable
opportunity at any time during the 30-day period after Executive's receipt of
such notice, for Executive, together with Executive's counsel, to be heard
before the Board of Directors of Employer; and (iv) if such a Board hearing
occurs, a second written notice from Employer stating that, in the good faith
opinion of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board,
Executive was guilty of the conduct giving rise to termination for Cause as
defined herein. In the event Executive's employment is terminated by Employer
for Cause, Executive shall be entitled to:

               (i) Unpaid Base Compensation earned at the rate in effect at
the time of Executive's termination through the date of termination of
Executive's employment;

               (ii) any performance or special incentive bonus earned to the

               (iii) reimbursement for expenses incurred but not yet
reimbursed by Employer; and

                                      -4-
<PAGE>



               (iv) any other compensation and benefits to which Executive
may be entitled under applicable documents relating to plans, programs and
agreements of Employer.

     10.  RESIGNATION FOR GOOD REASON. Executive may resign and terminate his
employment relationship for Good Reason upon ten (10) days prior written notice
by Executive to Employer, in which event he shall be entitled to the payments
set forth in Section 11; provided, however, that if Executive does not send a
notice to Employer invoking his rights under this section within one year after
the occurrence of the specific event constituting Good Reason, Executive shall
no longer be able to invoke his rights under this section with respect to such
specific event. "Good Reason" shall mean any of the following:

          (a)  Executive is removed by Employer from, either or both of the
positions described in Section 2(a) other than for Cause;

          (b)  there is a diminution in Executive's authority, duties or
responsibilities normally associated with either of Executive's positions or

notice and provide Employer an opportunity to cure pursuant to this subsection
(b) more than once in any twelve month period prior to terminating this
Agreement pursuant to this subsection (b);

          (c)  the failure of the Board of Directors to nominate Executive for
re-election as a director other than for Cause, or the removal of Executive as a
director other than for Cause;

          (d) any change in the reporting relationships described in Section
2, which is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to
Employer; provided, however, that Executive shall not be required to give
notice and provide Employer an opportunity to cure pursuant to this
subsection (d) more than once in any twelve month period prior to terminating
this Agreement pursuant to this subsection (d);

          (e)  any failure by Employer to comply with any of the provisions of
this Agreement and/or any breach by Employer of any of the terms of this
Agreement which is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to
Employer; provided, however, that Executive shall not be required to give notice
and provide Employer an opportunity to cure pursuant to this subsection (e) more
than once in any twelve month period prior to terminating this Agreement
pursuant to this subsection (e);

          (f)  any purported termination by Employer of Executive's employment
otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement;

          (g)  any action taken by Employer, including without limitation, a
restructuring, which reduces materially the assets, net worth, cash flow or
earnings of Executive's business unit;

twenty-five (25) miles from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; or

          (k)  the assignment of Executive to office space which is not
commensurate with his position and title, the failure of Employer to provide the
ministerial, administrative and secretarial support customarily associated with
the title and position or the withdrawal by Employer of any such ministerial,
administrative and secretarial support.

     11.  TERMINATION PAYMENTS. In the event Executive's employment is
terminated by Employer without Cause, or in the event Executive resigns for Good
Reason, Executive shall receive his Base Compensation for the greater of the
remaining term of this Agreement or one year (such length of time being the
"Payment Term") in a lump sum (minus applicable withholding taxes) within five
(5) days after the date Executive's employment terminates. In addition, Employer
shall pay (a) the premiums in connection with Executive's continued
participation in Employer's group health plan pursuant to COBRA or otherwise for
the length of the Payment Term; and (b) reimbursement for expenses incurred but
not yet reimbursed by Employer.

     12.  EMPLOYER PROPERTY. All advertising, sales, manufacturers' and other
materials or articles or information, including without limitation data
processing reports, computer programs, software, customer information and
records, business records, price lists or information, samples, or any other
materials or data of any kind furnished to Executive by Employer or developed by
Executive on behalf of Employer or at Employer's direction or for Employer's use
or otherwise in connection with Executive's employment hereunder, are and shall
remain the sole property of Employer, including in each case all copies thereof
in any medium, including computer tapes and other forms of information storage.
If Employer requests the return of such materials at any time at or after the
termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall deliver all copies of the
same to Employer immediately.

     13.  CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION.

          (a)  Except with the prior written consent of Employer, during
Executive's active employment with Employer and for a period of one (1) year
after the termination of Executive's employment with Employer, but in no event
less than five (5) years after the date hereof (the "Restricted Period"),
Executive agrees that he shall not disclose or make available, directly or
indirectly, to others or use for his or others' benefit confidential
information, whether or not reduced to written or other recorded from, related
to Employer and its subsidiaries, including the names of customers, the contact
persons at customers, pricing, the software programs utilized by Employer and
its subsidiaries in the operation of its business and all other information
material to the operation, management, marketing or financing of Employer


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

and its subsidiaries which is not known or generally available to the public or
competitors in the records management or records storage industries.

         The confidentiality obligations of this Section shall not apply to
information:

               (i)  which is required to be disclosed by judicial or
administrative process or order, or by other requirements of law;

               (ii) which is or becomes generally available to the public other
than as a result of a breach of this Section 13;

               (iii) which is received from a third party who obtained such
information other than under an obligation of confidentiality; or

               (iv) which the Employer discloses on a non-confidential basis or
otherwise makes available to the general public or the trade.

          (b)  Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, he shall not
directly or indirectly own, manage, engage in, participate in, provide advice
to, be employed by, have a financial interest in, or solicit or attempt to
obtain business from any customer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries on
behalf of, any enterprise which provides records management or records storage
and related services to business facilities (including, without limitation, the
management, handling, storage, filing, processing and retrieval of medical
records used by hospitals, private practitioners, and other medical
institutions) located in the geographic areas in which Executive oversees
operations at the time of the termination of his employment (the "Restricted
Area"). Section 13(b) shall not prohibit Executive from owning equity securities
of Employer or acquiring up to five percent (5%) of any class of securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of any
corporation which may engage in the records management storage services in
direct competition with the business of Employer and its subsidiaries within the
Restricted Area.

          (c)  Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive
shall not on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person under his control
or on behalf of others, directly or indirectly solicit for employment (including
as an independent contractor), or endeavor to entice away, any of the officers,
employees or independent contractors of Employer and its subsidiaries who
perform services for Employer and its subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt,
Employer acknowledges that this Section 13(c) shall not prohibit Executive from
employing, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person under his control
or on behalf of others, a former officer, employee or independent contractor of
Employer and its subsidiaries who has ceased to perform services for Employer
and its subsidiaries without enticement by Executive and who seeks employment
(including as an independent contractor) by Executive without solicitation by
Executive.

          (d)  Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read all the terms
herein stated and agrees that the same are necessary for the reasonable and
proper protection of Employer; and that each and every covenant is reasonable
with respect to such matter, length of time, and the geographical area
described; and that irrespective of all other conditions, the covenants and
restrictions hereinabove provided shall be operative during the full period and
throughout the geographical area described. In the event any court finds any
such


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

restraint or limitation to be unreasonable, then it is the intent of the parties
that such court should determine the maximum restraint or limitation which is
reasonable and enforcement will be of that restraint or limitation.

          (e)  Executive acknowledges that confidential information in his
possession related to the Employer and its subsidiaries has particular value,
the loss of confidentiality of which by communication to unauthorized persons
cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for by damages alone. Moreover,
Executive agrees that any breach of paragraphs (a) (b) and (c) of this Section
13 would give rise to damages which would be difficult to calculate. Therefore,
the parties hereby agree that in the event of a breach of any of the terms and
conditions of this Section 13, the Employer shall be entitled to equitable
relief by way of an injunction. This Section 13 shall not be construed as a
limitation upon the Employer's remedies for such breach.

          (f)  The restrictions contained in this Section 13 shall be broadly
construed by any court having jurisdiction of the matter in order to protect the
Employer to the maximum degree possible.

     14.  INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  Employer shall indemnify Executive to the fullest extent
permitted by Pennsylvania law in effect on the date hereof against all costs,
expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines, penalties, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with a
Proceeding. For the purposes of this Section 14, a "Proceeding" shall mean any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, in which Executive is made, or is threatened to be made, a party
to, or a witness in, such action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that
he is or was an officer, director or employee of Employer or is or was serving
as an officer, director, member, employee, trustee or agent of any other entity
at the request of Employer.

          (b)  Employer shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt
by Employer of a written request for such advance. Such request shall include an
itemized list of the costs and expenses and an undertaking by Executive to repay
the amount of such advance if ultimately it shall be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses.

          (c)  If Executive in fact meets the applicable standard of conduct, he
shall be entitled to indemnification whether or not Employer (whether by the
Board, the shareholders, independent legal counsel or other party) determines
that indemnification is proper because he has met such applicable standard of
conduct. Neither the failure of Employer to have made such a determination prior
to the commencement by Executive of any suit or arbitration proceeding seeking
indemnification, nor a determination by Employer that Executive has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Executive has
not met the applicable standard of conduct.

          (d)  Employer shall not settle any Proceeding or claim in any manner
which would impose on Executive any penalty or limitation without Executive's
prior


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

written consent. Neither Employer nor Executive will withhold consent to any
proposed settlement unreasonably.

          (e)  Employer shall maintain a policy of directors and officers
liability insurance in a reasonable amount of coverage.

     15.  NO MITIGATION: NO OFFSET. In the event of any termination of
Executive's employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be under no
obligation to seek other employment, and there shall be no offset against
amounts due under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to
any subsequent employment that Executive may obtain.

     16.  NATURE OF PAYMENTS. Any amounts due Executive under this Agreement in
the event of any termination of Executive's employment with Employer are in the
nature of severance payments, or liquidated damages which contemplate both
direct damages and consequential damages that may be suffered as a result of the
termination of Executive's employment, or both, and are not in the nature of a
penalty.

     17.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)  INDULGENCES. ETC. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part
of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor
shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is
in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

          (b)  CONTROLLING LAW. This Agreement and all questions relating to its
validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement (including, without
limitation, provisions concerning limitations of actions), shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
notwithstanding any conflict-of-laws doctrines of such jurisdiction to the
contrary, and without the aid of any canon, custom or rule of law requiring
construction against the draftsman.

          (c)  NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given, made and received when delivered (personally, by

         Any party may alter the address to which communications or copies are

permitted assigns and shall be binding upon Executive and shall inure to the
benefit of Executive and his estate and personal representatives. This Agreement
may not be assigned by either party (including by operation of law) without the

                      REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT JOINDER

         This Joinder to Registration Rights Agreement (this "Agreement") is
made and entered into as of February 1, 2000 by and among Iron Mountain
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and those stockholders
party hereto (the "New Stockholders").

         WHEREAS, the Company and certain of its Stockholders are parties to
that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June
12, 1997, as heretofore supplemented (the "Registration Rights Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company, Pierce Leahy Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation
("Pierce Leahy"), and the New Stockholders are parties to that certain
Shareholders' Agreement dated as of October 20, 1999 (the "Shareholders'
Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company and the New Stockholders desire to admit the New
Stockholders as Stockholders (this and other capitalized terms used herein
without definition are used with the meanings given to such terms in the
Registration Rights Agreement) under the Registration Rights Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals, the mutual covenants
and agreements herein contained, and other valuable consideration, the receipt,
adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

         1. The Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as
of October 20, 1999, by and between the Company and Pierce Leahy shall be an
"Equity Agreement" for purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement. For
purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement, (i) shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of Pierce Leahy shall be "Registrable Securities" and (ii)
only Subject Shares (as defined in the Shareholders' Agreement) shall be
"Registrable Securities".

         2. Each New Stockholder hereby (i) joins in and becomes party to the
Registration Rights Agreement as a Stockholder, (ii) shall be entitled to the
rights and privileges of a Stockholder under the Registration Rights Agreement,
(iii) agrees to be bound by and to perform all obligations of a Stockholder
under the Registration Rights Agreement, and (iv) agrees that he, she or it
shall not assign his rights under the Registration Rights Agreement other than
as expressly permitted by Section 9(a) thereof (it being understood that a New
Stockholder shall be entitled to assign its rights under the Registration Rights
Agreement to any Permitted Assignee (as defined in the Shareholders' Agreement)
that receives Subject Shares and is subject to the limitations in Section 3.4 of
the Shareholders' Agreement so long as such Permitted Assignee complies with the
procedures set forth in clause (ii) of the proviso to Section 9(a) of the
Registration Rights Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the New
Stockholders shall collectively be considered a "Significant Stockholder" for
purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) none of the New Stockholders
shall be considered a "Registered Stockholder" for purposes of the Registration
Rights Agreement and (iii) any rights, privileges, obligations and


<PAGE>

restrictions hereunder or under the Registration Rights Agreement shall only
apply to the New Stockholders with respect to the Subject Shares.

         3. Pursuant to Section 1(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the
New Stockholders, as a Significant Stockholder, shall collectively have the
right to demand that the Company effect registration of all or part of the
Registrable Securities held by the New Stockholders pursuant to said Section
1(b) on two occasions.

         4. Pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the
rights and obligations of the New Stockholders under the Registration Rights
Agreement will terminate on the date that the restrictions on the transfer of
Registrable Securities under Section 3.4 of the Shareholders' Agreement
terminate. The provisions of Section 5(a) (relating to other circumstances under
which a Stockholder's rights under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be
terminated) shall not be applicable to the New Stockholders.

         5. Except to the extent specifically supplemented hereby, the
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain unmodified. The
Registration Rights Agreement, as supplemented hereby, is confirmed as being in
full force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, which together shall constitute one instrument, shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws (other than the conflict of laws
rules) of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
