                       INTERNATIONAL TOTAL SERVICES, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

                                   (unaudited)

1.   SUMMARY OF PRESENTATION - The condensed consolidated financial statements
     included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
     to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
     adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of
     management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
     adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
     Company as of September 30, 1997, the results of its operations for the
     three and six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
     the results of its cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 1997
     and 1996. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
     results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 1997
     are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal
     year ended March 31, 1998. The accounting policies of the Company continue
     unchanged from March 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the
     consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the fiscal year
     ended March 31, 1997 included in the Company's prospectus dated September
     19, 1997.


2.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING - On September 24, 1997 the Company completed an
     initial public offering (the "Offering" or "IPO") of its common stock.
     Prior to the completion of the Offering, the capital structure of ITS
     consisted of 20,000,000 shares authorized, 3,641,017 issued and
     outstanding, of $.01 par value common stock. All references to outstanding
     shares of common stock give effect to the revised capital structure.

3.   ACQUISITIONS - On October 10, 1997, the Company acquired the service
     contracts of National Security Services, Inc., dba Curtis Security
     Services, based in San Francisco, and White Lion Aviation Security, Ltd.,
     based in London, England. The two companies had combined annual revenues of
     approximately $5 million.

     On October 13, 1997, the Company acquired the service contracts of ARC
     Security, Inc. (ARC). The annual revenues for ARC were approximately $25
     million. The acquisition agreement and the exhibits are included with this
     report.

     The three acquisitions above were accounted for using the purchase method
     of accounting. As a result, the purchase prices have been allocated to the
     assets acquired, including intangibles, based on their respective fair
     values.

4.   EARNINGS PER SHARE - in February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128
     "Earnings Per Share" which specifies the computation, presentation, and
     disclosure requirements for earnings per share. The Company will be
     required to adopt SFAS No. 128 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. All
     prior period earnings per share data will be restated to conform with the
     provisions of SFAS No. 128. Based on a preliminary evaluation of this
     Standards' requirements, the Company does not expect the per share amounts
     reported under SFAS No. 128 to be materially different from those
     calculated and presented under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 15.

of 1997 from $29.1 million in the second quarter of 1996. This increase is
attributable to an increase in revenues from the seven acquisitions that were
completed during the past year of $7.5 million and an increase in revenues from
existing customers for aircraft cleaning and ground handling of $2 million.

Gross profit was $6.3 million for the second quarter of 1997 compared to $4.5
million in the second quarter of 1996, an increase of 41%. Measured as a % of
net sales, gross profit margins increased to 16.4% in 1997 from 15.4% in 1996.
Such improvement in 1997 was primarily attributable to higher margin contracts
mostly from the acquisitions and the increase in revenues for aircraft cleaning
and ground handling and decreases in worker's compensation and liability
insurance costs as a percentage of net sales.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were $4.0
million compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 1996, an increase of
19%. Measured as a percentage of net sales, these expenses were 10.5% in 1997
and 11.7% in 1996. This percentage decrease was due to the Company's focus on
increasing revenues without a proportionate increase in corporate expenses.

Interest expenses increased in the second quarter of 1997 to $344,000 from
$141,000 in the second quarter of 1996 due to an increase in the amount of debt
outstanding exclusively as a result of the acquisitions.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income increased to $1,125,000
in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $549,000 in the second quarter of
1996, an increase of 105%. The Company provided income taxes at an estimated
rate of 41% which is slightly less than the effective annual rate in 1996.

Operating Results - Six Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues increased $23.9 million, or 45%, to $77.0 million for the six months
ended September 30, 1997 from $53.1 million for the six months ended September
30, 1996. This increase is attributable to an increase in revenues from the
seven acquisitions that were completed during the past year of $19.1 million and
an increase in revenues from existing customers for aircraft cleaning and ground
handling of $4.8 million.

Gross profit was $12.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 60%. Measured as a % of net sales, gross profit margins increased to
16.7% in 1997 from 15.1% in 1996. Such improvement in 1997 was primarily
attributable to higher margin contracts mostly from the acquisitions and the
increase in revenues for aircraft cleaning and ground handling and decreases in
worker's compensation and liability insurance costs as a percentage of net
sales.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1997
were $8.7 million compared to $6.1 million in the six months ended September 30,
1996, an increase of 43%. Measured as a percentage of net sales, these expenses
were 11.3% in 1997 and 11.5% in 1996. This percentage decrease was due to the
Company's focus on increasing revenues without a proportionate increase in
corporate expenses.

Interest expenses increased for the six months ended September 30, 1997 to
$758,000 from $246,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1996 due to an
increase in the amount of debt outstanding exclusively as a result of the
acquisitions.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income increased to $1,978,000
for the six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $991,000 for the six
months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of 100%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $400,000 for the six months ended September 30,
1996. This increase was the result of the increase of $1.0 million in net income
before depreciation and amortization and the increase of $700,000 from changes
in working capital due to the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued
expenses.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 1997
was $2.9 million compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30,
1996. This was principally the result of the acquisitions of $2.3 million in
1997 as compared to $700,000 in 1996. Cash provided by financing activities for
the six months ended September 30, 1997 was $20.8 million compared to $1.1
million for the six months ended September 30, 1996 due to the proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering.

Capital expenditures were approximately $567,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $425,000 for the six months ended September 30,
1996. Historically, capital expenditures have been, and future expenditures are
anticipated to be, primarily to support expansion of the Company's operations
and management information systems.

The Company completed its initial public offering of common stock on September
24, 1997 raising net proceeds after expenses of approximately $30.0 million.
These proceeds were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the Company's
credit facility and to retire other outstanding acquisition related debt.
Following the IPO, interest expense was substantially reduced.

The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with
existing cash, the net proceeds from the IPO, and borrowings under the credit
facility, will be sufficient to finance its current operations, planned capital
expenditures, internal growth and acquisitions for at least the next year.

Concurrent with the receipt of the IPO proceeds on September 24, 1997, all
outstanding amounts under the credit facility were repaid in full. There were no
outstanding borrowings under the credit facility at September 30, 1997.
