                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)
                                 March 31, 1995

1.       These consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes and
         certain financial presentations normally required under generally
         accepted accounting principles and, therefore should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements, filed in Form 10-K, of
         Arcus, Inc. ("Arcus" or "Company") for the year ended December 31,
         1994.  It should be understood that accounting measurement at interim
         dates inherently involves greater reliance on estimates than at year
         end.  The financial statements included herein are unaudited, except
         for the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994; however, they
         contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
         adjustments) which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary to
         present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at
         March 31, 1995, and the consolidated results of operations and the
         consolidated cash flows for the periods presented.  Results of the
         interim period ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
         results for the full year 1995.

2.       On September 20, 1994, the Company engaged the investment banking firm
         of PaineWebber, Incorporated, to act as its exclusive financial
         advisor with respect to the potential sale of Arcus.  ATI Systems
         International, Inc., which controls approximately 94.8% of the common
         stock of Arcus, desires to divest its position in the Company in order
         to focus resources on its specialty transportation businesses.  ATI
         continues to explore the possible sale of its interest in Arcus.
         There presently are no agreements or commitments to sell the Company
         and there are no assurances that a sale will be completed.

3.       Earnings per share calculations for the quarters ended March 31, 1995
         and 1994 are based upon 7,861,728 and 7,834,080 weighted average
         shares outstanding, respectively.  Certain employees of the Company
         hold exercisable stock options.  For the quarters ended March 31, 1995
         and 1994, there was no material dilution of earnings per share from
         stock options.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 1994 Compared to 1993

         Consolidated revenues reached a record high level of $10,568,000 this
quarter, an increase of $903,000 or 9.3% compared to last year.  The increase
resulted from generally higher demand for the Company's services.
Approximately three-fourths of the increase came from services related to media
storage.  One service, media library relocations, experienced less demand
during the quarter and revenue from this service declined $158,000 or 44.5%
below that of 1994.

         Operating income for the first three months of 1995 was $1,709,000, an
increase of $388,000 or 29.4% compared to last year, and like revenue, reached
a record high level this quarter.  Operating margins improved from 13.7% of
revenue in 1994 to 16.2% in 1995.  Better overall utilization of vault
facilities and lower administrative salaries as a percent of revenue
contributed to the improvement.  The Company's facility expenses, are
classified as selling and administrative expense and better utilization of
these facilities was a factor in the improvement of this component of expense
in relation to revenue.  Operating results for 1994 include approximately
$148,000 of expense related to the Company's internal disaster recovery efforts
arising from the January 1994 Northridge, California earthquake.

         Compared to 1994, net interest income for the quarter increased by
$102,000 to $142,000.  The increase primarily resulted from a higher average
balance of funds invested with ATI Systems International, Inc. ("ATI"),
formerly Armored Transport, Inc., the parent company of Arcus.  Arcus deposits
cash receipts in excess of operating expenses with ATI.  It has routinely drawn
on its cash balances on hand or borrowed from ATI for working capital, as well
as other needs, both short term and long term.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Arcus was a net generator of cash during the first three months of
1995, primarily as a result of earnings levels as reflected in the Company's
cash provided by operating activities.  Operating cash flows were more than
sufficient to meet investment needs and third party obligations.  As a result,
Arcus was able to invest $1,247,000 with ATI during the quarter, increasing the
amount due from Parent by 31.3% to $5,235,000.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

         The majority of the Company's $519,000 in capital investments this
quarter were made to support business growth, with the largest component of
expenditures consisting of vault equipment needed for media storage.  Also,
during the quarter Arcus purchased land in the amount of $114,000 for
construction of a planned new facility to begin serving the Charlotte, North
Carolina market.  The new vault facility is expected to begin operations during
the fourth quarter of 1995.

         Although Arcus met its liquidity needs through internally generated
funds for the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company has from time to
time required external financing for working capital, long term investments and
other needs.  To the extent external financing has been needed by the Company,
ATI historically has been the primary source of such financing.  An inability
to secure financing from ATI could limit the Company's opportunity for growth.

         On September 20, 1994, the Company engaged the investment banking firm
of PaineWebber, Incorporated, to act as its exclusive financial advisor with
respect to the potential sale of Arcus (See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements).
