IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
  (Unaudited)

(1) General

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

The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2005 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a.                 Principles of Consolidation

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

b.                Foreign Currency Translation

Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for our operations outside the United States. All assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the applicable period, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive items component of stockholders’ equity. The gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, calculated as the difference between the historical exchange rate and the exchange rate at the applicable measurement date, including those related to (a) our 71¤4 % GBP Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, (b) the borrowings in certain foreign currencies under our revolving credit agreements, and (c) certain foreign currency denominated intercompany obligations of our foreign subsidiaries to us and between our foreign subsidiaries, are included in other expense (income), net, on our consolidated statements of operations. Included in other expense (income), net are $5,745 of net gains and $4,009 of net losses associated with foreign currency transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and $2,131 and $10,646 of net gains associated with foreign currency transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

c.                 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

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

We have selected October 1 as our annual goodwill impairment review date. We performed our last annual goodwill impairment review as of October 1, 2005 and noted no impairment of goodwill. In making this assessment, we rely on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, transactions and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and our judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. As of September 30, 2006, no factors were identified that would alter this assessment. Impairment adjustments recognized in the future, if any, will be recognized as operating expenses. Our operating segments at which level we performed our goodwill impairment analysis for the year ended December 31, 2005 were as follows:  Business Records Management, Data Protection, Fulfillment, Digital Archiving Services, Europe, South America, Mexico and Asia Pacific. When changes occur in the composition of one or more operating segments, the goodwill is reassigned to the segments affected based on their relative fair value. Beginning January 1, 2006, we changed our reportable segments as a result of certain management and organizational changes within our North American business. Therefore, the presentation of all historical segment reporting has been changed to conform to our new management reporting. See Note 8 for more information regarding our changes in segment reporting.

Goodwill valuations have been calculated using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each operating segment. This approach incorporates many assumptions including future growth rates, discount factors, expected capital expenditures and income tax cash flows. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in goodwill impairments in future periods.

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill attributable to each reportable operating segment for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:

d.                Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). We adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” in our financial statements beginning January 1, 2003 using the prospective method. The prospective method involves recognizing expense for the fair value for all awards granted or modified in the year of adoption and thereafter with no expense recognition for previous awards. We have applied the fair value recognition provisions to all stock based awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003.

Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. We adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method, as permitted under SFAS No. 123R. We record stock-based compensation expense for the cost of stock options, restricted stock and shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan (together, “Employee Stock-Based Awards”) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R beginning January 1, 2006 and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to January 1, 2006.

Stock-based compensation expense, included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, for Employee Stock-Based Awards, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1,865 ($1,646 after tax, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share) and $4,011 ($3,338 after tax, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share), respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $3,028 ($2,153 after tax, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share) and $8,851 ($6,671 after tax, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share), respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the incremental stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R caused income before provision for income taxes and minority interest to decrease by $212 and $766, respectively, and net income to decrease by $122 and $462, respectively, and had no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

SFAS No. 123R also requires that the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under APB No. 25. This requirement reduces reported operating cash flows and increases reported financing cash flows. As a result, net financing cash flows included $2,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost. Under prior accounting rules, this amount would have been included in net operating cash flows.

The following table details the effect on net income and earnings per share had stock-based compensation expense for the Employee Stock-Based Awards been recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30,  2005 based on SFAS No. 123R. The reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 in the table below are the same since stock-based compensation expense is calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. These amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are included in the table below only to provide the detail for a comparative presentation to the same periods of 2005.

Stock Options

Under our various stock option plans, options were granted with exercise prices equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The majority of our options become exercisable ratably over a period of five years and generally have a contractual life of 10 years, unless the holder’s employment is terminated. Our Directors are considered employees under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.

Expected volatility was calculated utilizing daily historical volatility over a period that equates to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing model since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of the stock options granted was estimated using the historical exercise behavior of employees.

Restricted Stock

Under our various stock option plans, we may also issue grants of restricted stock. We granted restricted stock in July 2005 which had a 3-year vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock is the excess of the market price of our common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price, which is zero. Included in our stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is a portion of the cost related to restricted stock granted in July 2005. We did not grant restricted stock in the first nine months of 2006.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We offer an employee stock purchase plan in which participation is available to substantially all U.S. and Canadian employees who meet certain service eligibility requirements (the “ESPP”). The ESPP provides a way for our eligible employees to become stockholders on favorable terms. The ESPP provides for the purchase of our common stock by eligible employees through successive offering periods. We generally have two 6-month offering periods, the first of which begins June 1 and ends November 30 and the second begins December 1 and ends May 31. 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. Participating employees may withdraw from an offering period before the purchase date and obtain a refund of the amounts withheld as payroll deductions. At the end of the offering period, outstanding options are exercised, and each employee’s accumulated contributions are used to purchase our common stock. The price for shares purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the fair market price at either the beginning or the end of the offering period, whichever is lower. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, there were 193,890 shares and 193,778 shares, respectively, purchased under the ESPP. Beginning with the December 1, 2006 ESPP offering period, the price for shares purchased under the ESPP will be changed to 95% of the fair market price at the end of the offering period without a look back feature.

The fair value of the ESPP offerings is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table for the respective periods. Expected volatility was calculated utilizing daily historical volatility over a period that equates to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life equates to the 6-month offering period over which employees accumulate payroll deductions to purchase our common stock. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing model since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future.

The weighted average fair value for the ESPP options was $6.07, $6.02, $8.70 and $7.20 for the December 2004, May 2005, December 2005 and May 2006 offerings, respectively.

As of September 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of our Employee Stock-Based Awards was $25,682 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.1 years.

We generally issue shares for the exercises of stock options, issuance of restricted stock and issuance of shares under our ESPP from unissued reserved shares.

e.                 Income Per Share—Basic and Diluted

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted net income per share is consistent with that of basic net income per share but gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as options, warrants or convertible securities) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive. Potential common shares, substantially attributable to stock options, included in the calculation of diluted net income per share totaled 1,421,135 and 1,518,528 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and 1,317,623 shares and 1,555,506 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Potential common shares of 274,641 and 421,748 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and potential common shares of 694,226 and 540,397 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as their effects are antidilutive.

f.                   Revenue

Our 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 or data (generally on a per

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

unit or per cubic foot of records basis). Service and storage material sales revenues are comprised of charges for related service activities and courier operations and the sale of software licenses and storage materials. Related core service revenues arise from: (a) the handling of records including the addition of new records, temporary removal of records from storage, refiling of removed records, destruction of records, and permanent withdrawals from storage; (b) courier operations, consisting primarily of the pickup and delivery of records upon customer request; (c) secure shredding of sensitive documents; and (d) other recurring services including maintenance and support contracts. Our complementary services revenues arise from special project work, including data restoration; and providing fulfillment services, consulting services and product sales, including software licenses, specially designed storage containers, magnetic media including computer tapes and related supplies.

We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Storage and service revenues are recognized in the month the respective storage or service is provided and customers are generally billed on a monthly basis on contractually agreed-upon terms. Amounts related to future storage or prepaid service contracts, including maintenance and support contracts, for customers where storage fees or services are billed in advance are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the applicable storage or service period or when the service is performed. Storage material sales are recognized when shipped to the customer and include software license sales. Sales of software licenses to distributors are recognized at the time a distributor reports that the software has been licensed to an end-user and all revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.

g.                 New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process whereby the company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The provisions of FIN 48 are effective January 1, 2007. Earlier application is permitted as long as the company has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period of adoption. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this

  (In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
  (Unaudited)

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

standard. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 should be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of FIN 48 on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

h.                Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the estimates used, including those related to accounting for acquisitions, allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memos, impairments of tangible and intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation and self-insured liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(3) Comprehensive Income

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

(4) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” requires that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Periodically, we acquire derivative instruments that are intended to hedge either cash flows or values which are subject to foreign exchange or other market price risk, and not for trading purposes. We have formally documented our hedging relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking each hedge transaction. Given the recurring nature of our revenues and the long term nature of our asset base, we have the ability and the preference to use long term, fixed interest rate debt to finance our business, thereby preserving our long term returns on invested capital. We target a range of 80% to 85% of our debt portfolio to be fixed with respect to interest rates. Occasionally, we will use floating to fixed interest rate swaps as a tool to maintain our targeted level of fixed rate debt. In addition, we will use borrowings in foreign currencies, either obtained in the U.S. or by our foreign subsidiaries, to economically hedge foreign currency risk associated with our international investments. Sometimes we enter into currency swaps to temporarily hedge an overseas investment, such as a major acquisition, while we arrange permanent financing.

We previously entered into two interest rate swap agreements, which were derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133 and designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements hedged interest rate risk on certain amounts of our term loan. Both of these swap agreements expired in the first quarter of 2006. As a result of the foregoing, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded additional interest expense of $781 and $3,549, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded additional interest expense of $127, resulting from interest rate swap payments.

In connection with certain real estate loans, we swapped $97,000 of floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Since the time we entered into the swap agreement, interest rates have fallen. We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the estimated cost to terminate this swap (fair value of the derivative liability) of $1,063 (which was recorded in accrued expenses) as of September 30, 2006. As a result of the repayment of the real estate term loans in the third quarter of 2004, we began marking to market the fair value of the derivative liability through earnings. The total impact of marking to market the fair market value of the derivative liability and cash payments associated with the interest rate swap agreement resulted in our recording interest income of $974 and $1,367 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and interest expense of $441 and interest income of $537 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

In April 2004, IME entered into two floating for fixed interest rate swap contracts, each with a notional value of 50,000 British pounds sterling and a duration of two years, which were designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements hedged interest rate risk on IME’s 100,000 British pounds multi-currency term loan facility. Both of these swap agreements expired in the second quarter of 2006. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded additional interest income of $9 and $52, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded interest expense of $71 and $184, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash payments.

(4) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)

In June 2006, IME entered into a floating for fixed interest rate swap contract with a notional value of 75,000 British pounds sterling, which will expire on March 2008 and was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap agreement hedges interest rate risk on IME’s 100,000 British pounds multi-currency term loan facility. The notional value of the swap will decline to 60,000 British pounds sterling in March 2007 to match the remaining term loan amount outstanding as of that date. We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the fair value of the derivative liability, a deferred tax asset and a corresponding charge to accumulated other comprehensive items of $115 (which was recorded in accrued expenses), $34 and $81, respectively, as of September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded additional interest expense of $65 resulting from interest rate swap.

In September 2006, we entered into a forward contract program to exchange U.S. dollars for 55,000 in Australian dollars (AUD) and 20,200 in New Zealand dollars (NZD) to hedge our intercompany exposure in these countries. These forward contracts settle on a monthly basis, at which time we enter into new forward contracts for the same underlying AUD and NZD amounts, to continue to hedge movements in AUD and NZD against the U.S. dollar. At the time of settlement, we either pay or receive the net settlement amount from the forward contract and recognize this amount in other expense (income), net in the accompanying statement of operations as a realized foreign exchange gain or loss. We recorded a realized loss of $205 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. At the end of each month, we mark the outstanding forward contracts to market and record an unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss for the mark-to-market valuation. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $273 in other expense (income), net in the accompanying statement of operations.

(5) Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates. Cash consideration for the various 2006 acquisitions was provided primarily through borrowings under our credit facilities, the proceeds from the sale of senior subordinated notes, and cash equivalents on-hand.

(3)          Consisted primarily of accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable.

(4)          Consisted primarily of the carrying value of minority interests of European, Latin American and Asia Pacific partners at the date of acquisition.

Allocation of the purchase price for the 2006 acquisitions was based on estimates of the fair value of net assets acquired, and is subject to adjustment. The purchase price allocations of certain 2005 and 2006 transactions are subject to finalization of the assessment of the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets (primarily customer relationship assets), operating leases, restructuring purchase reserves, deferred revenue and deferred income taxes. We are not aware of any information that would indicate that the final purchase price allocations will differ meaningfully from preliminary estimates.

In connection with each of our acquisitions, we have undertaken certain restructurings of the acquired businesses. The restructuring activities include certain reductions in staffing levels, elimination of duplicate facilities and other costs associated with exiting certain activities of the acquired businesses. The estimated costs of these restructuring activities were recorded as costs of the acquisitions and were provided in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” We finalize restructuring plans for each business no later than one year from the date of acquisition. Unresolved matters at September 30, 2006 primarily include completion of planned abandonments of facilities and severance contracts in connection with certain acquisitions.

At September 30, 2006, the restructuring reserves related to acquisitions consisted of lease losses on abandoned facilities ($3,321), severance costs ($317), and move and other exit costs ($3,295). These accruals are expected to be used prior to September 30, 2007 except for lease losses ($2,221), severance contracts ($135), and move and other exit costs ($436), all of which are based on contracts that extend beyond one year.

In connection with our acquisition in India, we entered into a shareholder agreement in May 2006. The agreement contains a put provision that would allow the minority stockholder to sell the remaining 49.9% equity interest to us beginning on the third anniversary of this agreement for the greater of fair market value or approximately 84,835 Rupees (approximately $1,800). In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others—An Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34,”  we recorded a liability in the amount of $368, with the offset to goodwill.

(1)          The fair value of this long-term debt either approximates the carrying value (as borrowings under these debt instruments are based on current variable market interest rates as of December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006) or it is impracticable to estimate the fair value due to the nature of such long-term debt.

(2)          The fair value of these debt instruments is based on quoted market prices for these notes on December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006.

In March 2004, IME and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “IME Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of European lenders. The IME Credit Agreement provides for maximum borrowing availability in the principal amount of 200,000 British pounds sterling, including a 100,000 British pounds sterling revolving credit facility (the “IME revolving credit facility”), which includes the ability to borrow in certain other foreign currencies, and a 100,000 British pounds multi-currency term loan (the “IME term loan facility”). The IME revolving credit facility matures on March 5, 2009. The IME term loan facility is payable in three installments; two installments of 20,000 British pounds sterling on March 5, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and the final payment of the remaining balance on March 5, 2009. The interest rate on borrowings under the IME Credit Agreement varies depending on IME’s choice of currency options and interest rate period, plus an applicable margin. The IME Credit Agreement includes various financial covenants applicable to the results of IME, which may restrict IME’s ability to incur indebtedness under the IME Credit Agreement and from third parties, as well as limit IME’s ability to pay dividends to us. Most of IME’s non-dormant subsidiaries have either guaranteed the obligations or have their shares

pledged to secure IME’s obligations under the IME Credit Agreement. We have not guaranteed or otherwise provided security for the IME Credit Agreement nor have any of our U.S., Canadian, Asia Pacific, Mexican or South American subsidiaries. Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 included 82,000 British pounds sterling and 124,057 Euro of borrowings (totaling $311,113) under the IME Credit Agreement; we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling 1,712 British pounds sterling ($3,190). The remaining availability, based on IME’s current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IME revolving credit facility on July 31, 2006, was approximately 31,346 British pounds sterling ($58,416). The interest rates in effect under the IME revolving credit facility ranged from 4.3% to 6.2% as of July 31, 2006. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded commitment fees of $210 and $629, respectively, based on 0.9% of unused balances under the IME revolving credit facility. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded commitment fees of $114 and $368, respectively, based on 0.6% of unused balances under the IME revolving credit facility.

On April 2, 2004 and subsequently on July 8, 2004, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit facility and term loan facility (the “IMI Credit Agreement”) to replace our prior credit agreement and to reflect more favorable pricing of our term loans. The IMI Credit Agreement had an aggregate principal amount of $550,000 and was comprised of a $350,000 revolving credit facility (the “IMI revolving credit facility”), which included the ability to borrow in certain foreign currencies, and a $200,000 term loan facility (the “IMI term loan facility”). The IMI revolving credit facility matures on April 2, 2009. With respect to the IMI term loan facility, quarterly loan payments of $500 began in the third quarter of 2004 and will continue through maturity on April 2, 2011, at which time the remaining outstanding principal balance of the IMI term loan facility is due. In November 2004, we entered into an additional $150,000 of term loans as permitted under our IMI Credit Agreement. The new term loans will mature at the same time as our current IMI term loan facility with quarterly loan payments of $375 that began in the first quarter of 2005. On October 31, 2005, we entered into the second amendment to the IMI Credit Agreement, increasing availability under the revolving credit facility from $350,000 to $400,000. As a result, the IMI Credit Agreement had an aggregate maximum principal amount of $750,000 as of December 31, 2005. The interest rate on borrowings under the IMI Credit Agreement varies depending on our choice of interest rate and currency options, plus an applicable margin. All intercompany notes and the capital stock of most of our U.S. subsidiaries are pledged to secure the IMI Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2006, we had $168,805 of borrowings under our IMI revolving credit facility, all of which was denominated in Canadian dollars (CAD 188,000); we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $23,983. The remaining availability, based on Iron Mountain Incorporated’s (“IMI”) current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IMI revolving credit facility, on September 30, 2006 was $207,212. The interest rate in effect under the IMI revolving credit facility and IMI term loan facility ranged from 6.0% to 6.3% and 7.0% to 7.3%, respectively, as of September 30, 2006. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded commitment fees of $217 and $660, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded commitment fees of $147 and $371, respectively, based on 0.4% of unused balances under the IMI revolving credit facility.

In July 2006, we completed an underwritten public offering of $200,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 83¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, which were issued at par. Our net proceeds of

$196,608, after paying the underwriters’ discounts, commissions and transaction fees, were used to (a) fund our offer to purchase and consent solicitation of $78,119 in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 81¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011, (b) fund our purchase in the open market of $33,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and (c) repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As a result, we recorded a charge to other expense (income), net of $2,779 in the third quarter of 2006 related to the early extinguishment of the 81¤4% and 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which consists of tender premiums and transaction costs, deferred financing costs, as well as original issue discounts and premiums related to the 81¤4% and 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

The IME Credit Agreement, IMI Credit Agreement, our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the IME Credit Agreement, IMI Credit Agreement and our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all material debt covenants as of September 30, 2006.

(8) Segment Information

Beginning January 1, 2006, we changed our reportable segments as a result of certain management and organizational changes within our North American business. Therefore, the presentation of all historical segment reporting has been changed to conform to our new management reporting. Our previous Business Records Management, Data Protection and Fulfillment operating segments are now considered one operating segment which we refer to as the North American Physical Business. Online backup and recovery solutions for server data and intellectual property management services, which were previously included in our Data Protection segment, are now included in the Worldwide Digital Business segment. We now have six operating segments, as follows:

·       North American Physical Business—throughout the United States and Canada, the storage of paper documents, as well as all other non-electronic media such as microfilm and microfiche, master audio and videotapes, film, X-rays and blueprints, including healthcare information services, vital records services, service and courier operations, and the collection, handling and disposal of sensitive documents for corporate customers (“Hard Copy”); the storage and rotation of backup computer media as part of corporate disaster recovery plans, including service and courier operations (“Data Protection”); secure shredding services (“Shredding”); and the storage, assembly, and detailed reporting of customer marketing literature and delivery to sales offices, trade shows and prospective customers’ sites based on current and prospective customer orders, which we refer to as the “Fulfillment” business

·       Worldwide Digital Business—information protection and storage services for electronic records conveyed via telecommunication lines and the Internet, including online backup and recovery solutions for server data and personal computers, as well as email archiving and third party technology escrow services that protect intellectual property assets such as software source code

The South America, Mexico and Asia Pacific operating segments do not individually meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment, but have been aggregated and reported with Europe as one reportable segment, “International Physical Business,” given their similar economic characteristics, products, customers and processes. The Worldwide Digital Business does not meet the quantitative criteria for a reportable segment; however, management determined that it would disclose such information on a voluntary basis.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 except that certain corporate and centrally controlled costs are allocated primarily to our North American Physical Business and Worldwide Digital Business segments. These allocations, which include human resources, information technology, finance, rent, real estate property taxes, medical costs, incentive compensation, stock option expense, worker’s compensation, 401(k) match contributions and property, general liability, auto and other insurance, are based on rates and methodologies established at the beginning of each year. Included in the corporate costs allocated to our North American Physical Business segment are certain costs related to staff functions, including finance, human resources and information technology, which benefit the enterprise as a whole. These costs are primarily related to the general management of these functions on a corporate level and the design and development of programs, policies

and procedures that are then implemented in the individual segments, with each segment bearing its own cost of implementation. Management has decided to allocate these costs to the North American segment as further allocation is impracticable.

Previously, certain corporate and centrally controlled costs were either not allocated or variances associated with the allocated charges and the actual charges were not pushed down to the operating segments, and these costs and variances remained in our previously reported segment named Corporate and Other. This is no longer the case, and all previously reported periods have been updated to reflect the new methodologies being employed.

Contribution for each segment is defined as total revenues less cost of sales (excluding depreciation) and selling, general and administrative expenses (including the costs allocated to each segment as described above). Internally, we use Contribution as the basis for evaluating the performance of and allocating resources to our operating segments.

A reconciliation of Contribution to income before provision for income taxes and minority interest on a consolidated basis is as follows:

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to numerous operating leases. No material changes in the obligations associated with these leases have occurred since December 31, 2005. See our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006 for amounts outstanding at December 31, 2005.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business with a portion of the defense and/or settlement costs being covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us. In the opinion of management, no material legal proceedings are pending to which we, or any of our properties, are subject. We record legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

(10) London Fire

In July 2006, we experienced a significant fire in a records and information management facility in London, England that resulted in the complete destruction of the leased facility. We believe we carry adequate property and liability insurance and are in the process of assessing the cause of, and other circumstances involved with, the fire. We do not expect that this event will have a material impact to our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Revenues from this facility represent less than 1% of our consolidated enterprise revenues. As of September 30, 2006, we have approximately $9,400 recorded as an insurance receivable which is included in prepaid expenses and other in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet which primarily represents the net book value of the property, plant and equipment associated with this facility at the time of the incident, net of $1,750 of property insurance proceeds received to date. We expect to settle the property portion of our insurance claim with our insurance carriers within the next twelve months and have, therefore, classified the insurance receivable as a current asset.

(11) Subsequent Events

In October 2006, we issued, in a private placement, $50,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, which were issued at a price of 99.3% of par; and 30,000 Euro in aggregate principal amount of our 63¤4 Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, which were issued at a price of 99.5% of par. Our net proceeds of $85,492, after sales commission, were used to pay down existing debt under the IMI and IME revolving credit facilities.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included herein, and the year ended December 31, 2005, included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our operations, economic performance, financial condition, goals, beliefs, future growth strategies, investments, objectives, plans and current expectations. 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 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: (1) changes in customer preferences and demand for our services; (2) changes in the price for our services relative to the cost of providing such services; (3) in the various digital businesses in which we are engaged, capital and technical requirements will be beyond our means, markets for our services will be less robust than anticipated, or competition will be more intense than anticipated; (4) the cost to comply with current and future legislation or regulation relating to privacy issues; (5) the impact of litigation that may arise in connection with incidents of inadvertent disclosures of customers’ confidential information; (6) our ability or inability to complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms and to integrate acquired companies efficiently; (7) the cost and availability of financing for contemplated growth; (8) business partners upon whom we depend for technical assistance or management and acquisition expertise outside the U.S. will not perform as anticipated; (9) changes in the political and economic environments in the countries in which our international subsidiaries operate; and (10) other trends in competitive or economic conditions affecting our financial condition or results of operations not presently contemplated. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. Other risks may adversely impact us, as described more fully under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 11, 2006. You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in this document, as well as our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Non-GAAP Measures

Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization, or OIBDA

OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization expenses. OIBDA Margin is calculated by dividing OIBDA by total revenues. Our management uses these measures to evaluate the operating performance of our consolidated business. As such, we believe these measures provide relevant and useful information to our current and potential investors. We use OIBDA for

35




planning purposes and multiples of current or projected OIBDA-based calculations in conjunction with our discounted cash flow models to determine our overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We believe OIBDA and OIBDA Margin are useful measures to evaluate our ability to grow our revenues faster than our operating expenses and they are an integral part of our internal reporting system utilized by management to assess and evaluate the operating performance of our business. OIBDA does not include certain items, specifically (1) minority interest in earnings (losses) of subsidiaries, net, (2) other (income) expense, net, (3) income from discontinued operations and loss on sale of discontinued operations and (4) cumulative effect of change in accounting principle that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. OIBDA also does not include interest expense, net and the provision for income taxes. These expenses are associated with our capitalization and tax structures, which management does not consider when evaluating the profitability of our core operations. Finally, OIBDA does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments, which management evaluates by comparing capital expenditures to incremental revenue generated and as a percentage of total revenues. OIBDA and OIBDA Margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, such as operating or net income or cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the estimates used, including those related to accounting for acquisitions, allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memos, impairment of tangible and intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation and self-insured liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies include the following, which are listed in no particular order:

·       Accounting for Acquisitions

·       Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Memos

36




·       Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

·       Accounting for Internal Use Software

·       Income Taxes

·       Stock-based Compensation

·       Self-Insured Liabilities

Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006 as filed with the SEC. Management has determined that no material changes concerning our critical accounting policies have occurred since December 31, 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process whereby the company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The provisions of FIN 48 are effective January 1, 2007. Earlier application is permitted as long as the company has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period of adoption. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 should be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of FIN 48 on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

REVENUES

Our consolidated storage revenues increased $41.5 million, or 14.0%, to $338.3 million and $111.5 million, or 12.8%, to $985.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively. For  the three months ended September 30, 2006, the increase is attributable to internal revenue growth (11%) resulting from net increases in records and other media stored by existing customers, sales to new customers and the net result of pricing actions, acquisitions (2%), and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (1%). For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increase is attributable to internal revenue growth (10%) resulting from net increases in records and other media stored by existing customers, sales to new customers and the net result of pricing actions, and acquisitions (3%).

Consolidated service and storage material sales revenues increased $27.6 million, or 12.0%, to $257.3 million and $89.5 million, or 13.4%, to $755.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the increase is attributable to acquisitions (8%), internal revenue growth (3%) resulting from net increases in service and storage material sales to existing customers and sales to new customers, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (1%). For the nine months ended

38




September 30, 2006, the increase is primarily attributable to acquisitions (8%) and internal revenue growth (6%) resulting from net increases in service and storage material sales to existing customers and sales to new customers.

For the reasons stated above, our consolidated revenues increased $69.1 million, or 13.1%, to $595.6 million and $201.0 million, or 13.1%, to $1,740.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that impacted our revenues were primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling and Euro, net of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar, based on an analysis of weighted average rates for the comparable periods. Internal revenue growth was 7% and 9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. We calculate internal revenue growth in local currency for our international operations.

Our internal revenue growth rate represents the weighted average year over year growth rate of our revenues after removing the effects of acquisitions, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and the impact of the fire in our London, England facility. Over the past eight quarters, the internal growth rate of our storage revenues has increased from a range of 8% to 9% to a range of 10% to 11%. In our North American Physical Business, net carton volume growth remained stable and we benefited from a more positive pricing environment in 2005 and 2006 compared to 2004. Strong growth rates in our digital services business more than offset the impact of reduced growth rates in Europe resulting from the inclusion of the slower growing Hays plc business in our base revenues for internal growth calculation purposes effective in the first quarter of 2005. Net carton volume growth is a function of the rate new cartons are added by existing and new customers offset by the rate of carton destructions and other permanent removals.

The internal growth rate for service and storage material sales revenue is inherently more volatile than the storage revenue internal growth rate due to the more discretionary nature of the services we offer such as large special projects or data products and carton sales, as well as the price of recycled paper. These revenues are often event driven and impacted to a greater extent by economic downturns as customers defer or cancel the purchase of these services as a way to reduce their short-term costs. As a commodity, recycled paper prices are subject to the volatility of that market.

The internal growth rate for service and storage material sales revenues reflects the following: (1) stronger data product sales, particularly in 2005 compared to 2004; (2) a large data restoration project completed by our digital services business in the third quarter of 2005; (3) improved growth rates in our data protection and fulfillment businesses; (4) continued growth in our secure shredding operations; and (5) growth in North American storage related service revenues. These positive factors were partially offset by lower special project revenues related to the public sector business in the U.K., particularly in 2005 compared to 2004.

Labor

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, labor expense increased as a percentage of consolidated revenues mainly as a result of higher labor costs in our Australia/New Zealand acquisition and our recent shredding acquisitions in Europe which have a higher service revenue component and are therefore more labor intensive. Our digital business had higher costs of labor associated with internal information technology personnel and consultants dedicated to revenue producing projects.

Facilities

Facilities costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues increased to 13.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 13.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in facilities costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues was primarily a result of increases in utilities and maintenance costs, as well as increased insurance deductibles and security costs associated with protecting our other assets, as a response to fires in Ottawa, Canada and London, England. Rent expense increased slightly as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of an increase in overall base rent per square foot in our North American operations when comparing 2005 to 2006. The largest component of our facilities cost is rent expense, which increased $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Given current property insurance market conditions, especially in relation to catastrophe exposures of earthquake, flood and wind, we expect our insurance costs associated with our real estate portfolio to rise in 2007 when compared to 2006.

40




Transportation

Our transportation expenses, which increased 0.1% as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, are influenced by several variables including total number of vehicles, owned versus leased vehicles, use of subcontracted couriers, fuel expenses and maintenance. Higher fuel costs and increased maintenance expenses resulting from the accelerated implementation of a fleet-wide maintenance program in North America, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, were primarily responsible for the increase in transportation expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues.

Product and Other Cost of Sales

Product and other costs of sales are highly correlated to complementary revenue streams. Total product and other costs of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased due to a corresponding reduction in product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

General and Administrative

The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is mainly attributable to (a) increased compensation expense due to expansion through acquisitions, (b) costs associated with our North American reorganization which added a new level of field management, and (c) costs associated with a North American field operations meeting held in 2006 that was not held in 2005.

41




Sales, Marketing & Account Management

The majority of our sales, marketing and account management costs are labor related and are primarily driven by the headcount in each of these departments. Increased headcount and related compensation and commissions are the most significant contributors to the increase in sales, marketing and account management expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Throughout 2005 and into 2006, we invested in the expansion and improvement of our sales, marketing and account management functions. In North America, while our sales force headcount has increased at a slower rate than revenue growth, the shift to higher end resources is driving an increase in the level of spending due to higher costs per sales person and the additional support required. We have significantly increased the size of our digital sales force through our acquisition of LiveVault Corporation (“LiveVault”) and the hiring of new sales employees, particularly in Europe. Additionally, costs associated with an enterprise-wide sales meeting held in 2006 and not held in 2005 also contributed to this increase. Our larger North American sales force generated a $6.2 million increase in sales commissions and an increase of $10.5 million of compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Information Technology

Information technology expenses increased as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to increases in technology development activities within our digital services business, including the acquisition of LiveVault and associated research and development activities and increased spending to support our growing digital archiving business. Higher utilization of existing information technology resources to revenue producing projects, which are charged to costs of goods sold and decreased information technology spending in our European operations, partially offset this increase.

Depreciation, Amortization and (Gain) Loss on Disposal/Writedown of Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased $19.3 million to $154.3 million (8.9% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $135.0 million (8.8% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Depreciation expense increased $6.0 million and $16.5 million for the three and  nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively, primarily due to the additional depreciation expense related to recent capital expenditures and acquisitions, including storage systems, which consist of racking, building and leasehold improvements, computer systems hardware and software, and buildings. Amortization expense increased $1.4 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively, primarily due to amortization of intangible assets such as customer relationship intangible assets and intellectual property acquired through business combinations. We expect that amortization expense will continue to increase as we acquire new businesses and reflect the full year impact of our 2006 acquisitions.

OPERATING INCOME

As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated operating income decreased $5.0 million, or 4.9%, to $97.1 million (16.3% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $102.2 million (19.4% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Consolidated operating income increased $2.5 million, or 0.9%, to $292.5 million (16.8% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $290.0 million (18.8% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

42




OIBDA

As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated OIBDA increased $2.4 million, or 1.6% to $150.3 million (25.2% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $147.9 million (28.1% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Consolidated OIBDA increased $21.8 million, or 5.1% to $446.7 million (25.7% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $425.0 million (27.6% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

OTHER EXPENSES, NET

Interest Expense, Net

Consolidated interest expense, net increased $6.2 million to $50.5 million (8.5% of consolidated revenues) and $7.0 million to $144.3 million (8.3% of consolidated revenues) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively from $44.3 million (8.4% of consolidated revenues) and $137.3 million (8.9% of consolidated revenues) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The change is primarily due to increased borrowings to fund our 2005 and 2006 acquisitions, particularly LiveVault and Pickfords Records Management (“Pickfords”).

Foreign currency gains of $10.6 million based on period-end exchange rates were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to the strengthening of the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and Euro, and the weakening of the Australian dollar  against the U.S. dollar compared to December 31, 2005 as these currencies relate to our intercompany balances with and between our Australian, Canadian, U.K., and European subsidiaries, borrowings denominated in certain foreign currencies under our revolving credit facility and British pounds sterling denominated debt held by our U.S. parent company.

Foreign currency losses of $4.0 million based on period-end exchange rates were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling and the Euro, offset by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2004 as these currencies relate to our intercompany balances with and between our U.K., Canadian and European subsidiaries, and British pounds sterling denominated debt held by our U.S. parent company.

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we redeemed or purchased a portion of our outstanding 81¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 resulting in a charge of $2.8 million, which consists of tender premiums and transaction costs, deferred financing costs, as well as original issue discounts and premiums.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 were 42.9% and 41.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 were

43




42.6% and 40.9%, respectively. The primary reconciling item between the statutory rate of 35% and our effective rate is state income taxes (net of federal benefit). During the second quarter of 2006, we recorded a reduction in income tax expense as a result of a new Texas law changing the way state income tax is calculated in that state. As a result of this change, we have reversed a deferred tax liability of $1.7 million, net of federal tax benefit, related to our Texas state taxes. We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to examination by various tax authorities in jurisdictions in which we have significant business operations. We regularly assess the likelihood of additional assessments by tax authorities and provide for these matters as appropriate. Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in changes in our estimates.

Minority Interest

Minority interest in earnings of subsidiaries, net resulted in a charge to income of $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. This represents our minority partners’ share of earnings in our majority-owned international subsidiaries that are consolidated in our operating results.

NET INCOME

As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated net income decreased $9.8 million, or 26.8%, to $26.6 million (4.5% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from net income of $36.4 million (6.9% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, consolidated net income increased $7.0 million, or 8.3%, to $91.7 million (5.3% of consolidated revenues) from net income of $84.7 million (5.5% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Segment Analysis (in thousands)

The results of our various operating segments are discussed below. Beginning January 1, 2006, we changed our reportable segments as a result of certain management and organizational changes within our North American business. Therefore, the presentation of all historical segment reporting has been changed to conform to our new management reporting. Our reportable segments are now North American Physical Business, International Physical Business and Worldwide Digital Business. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Our North American Physical Business, which consists of the United States and Canada, offers the storage of paper documents, as well as all other non-electronic media such as microfilm and microfiche, master audio and videotapes, film, X-rays and blueprints, including healthcare information services, vital records services, service and courier operations, and the collection, handling and disposal of sensitive documents for corporate customers (“Hard Copy”); the storage and rotation of backup computer media as part of corporate disaster recovery plans, including service and courier operations (“Data Protection”); secure shredding services (“Shredding”); and the storage, assembly, and detailed reporting of customer marketing literature and delivery to sales offices, trade shows and prospective customers’ sites based on current and prospective customer orders, which we refer to as the “Fulfillment” business. Our International Physical Business segment offers information and protection services throughout Europe, South America, Mexico and Asia Pacific, including Hard Copy, Data Protection and Shredding. Our Worldwide Digital Business offers storage and related archiving services for electronic records conveyed via telecommunication lines and the Internet, including online backup and recovery solutions for remote server data and personal computers, as well as email archiving and third party technology escrow services that protect intellectual property assets such as software source code.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, revenue in our North American Physical Business segment increased 9.5% primarily due to increasing storage internal growth rates resulting from stable net volume growth and a positive pricing environment, increasing service revenue growth rates particularly in data protection and fulfillment, growth of our secure shredding operations, and acquisitions. In addition, favorable currency fluctuations during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 in Canada increased revenue, as measured in U.S. dollars, by $8.6 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Contribution as a percent of segment revenue decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due mainly to (a) higher transportation costs, primarily fuel and rental costs associated with leased vehicles, mainly attributable to the migration from owned to leased vehicles compounded by a shift in the mix of vehicles from light vans to larger more expensive trucks, (b) increased facility costs, primarily utilities, maintenance and insurance, (c) increased investment in sales, marketing and account management primarily related to a shift in hiring more experienced personnel at a higher cost, (d) costs associated with our North American reorganization, including a new level of field management, (e) costs associated with our enterprise-wide sales meeting and a field operations meeting, both held in 2006 but not in 2005, and (f) higher transportation costs associated with the accelerated implementation of a fleet-wide maintenance program in North America.

Included in our North American Physical Business segment are certain costs related to staff functions, including finance, human resources and information technology, which benefit the enterprise as a whole. These costs are primarily related to the general management of these functions on a corporate level and the design and development of programs, policies and procedures that are then implemented in the individual segments, with each segment bearing its own cost of implementation. Management has decided to allocate these costs to the North American segment as further allocation is impracticable.

Revenue in our International Physical Business segment increased 23.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to acquisitions, which contributed $68.8 million or 17.4%. This was partially offset by net unfavorable currency fluctuations in Europe and Latin America of $12.0 million or 3.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The balance of the increase in revenue represents internal growth. Contribution as a percent of segment revenue decreased primarily due to increases in European recruitment fees, new management, sales, and marketing personnel, and the acquisition of shredding businesses that operate at lower margins, as well as costs associated with the facility fire in London, England.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, revenue in our Worldwide Digital Business segment increased 2.4% and 22.4% compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, on internal growth of (4%) and 15%, respectively, primarily attributable to growth in digital storage revenue and our online backup service offerings for both personal computer and server data. The internal growth rate of our digital business was offset by a large data restoration project in the third quarter of 2005, which was not repeated in 2006 but drove the increase in the digital storage growth rate beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005. The acquisition of LiveVault in December 2005 contributed $3.0 million and $8.0 million in revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Contribution as a percent of segment revenue decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to September 30, 2005 as contribution was benefited by a large data restoration project in the third quarter of 2005 and did not include the impact of the December 2005 acquisition of LiveVault. Contribution as a percent of segment revenue increased during the nine months

46




ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to higher absorption of fixed costs as a result of increased revenues and a reduction in royalty payments. This increase was offset by the acquisition of LiveVault, increased investment in the European sales force, increases in information technology costs, and the benefit of a large data restoration project in the third quarter of 2005.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $279.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $278.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in operating income and non-cash items, such as depreciation offset by gain on foreign currency, and further offset by the net change in working capital. The net change in working capital is primarily associated with higher incentive compensation payments in 2006 compared to 2005 and timing of prepaid items such as real estate taxes.

Due to the nature of our businesses, we make significant capital expenditures and additions to customer acquisition costs. Our capital expenditures are primarily related to growth and include investments in storage systems, information systems and discretionary investments in real estate. Cash paid for our capital expenditures and additions to customer acquisition costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 amounted to $270.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, capital expenditures, net and additions to customer acquisition costs were funded with cash flows provided by operating activities. We expect our capital expenditures to be between $360 million and $385 million in the year ending December 31, 2006. Included in our estimated capital expenditures for 2006 is $40 million to $55 million of opportunity driven real estate purchases.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we paid net cash consideration of $74.6 million for acquisitions, primarily related to the acquisition of two shredding businesses in the U.K., the buyout of minority partners in France and Mexico and contingent payments associated with a shredding acquisition in the U.S. and another acquisition in Europe. Cash flows provided by operating activities, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, the proceeds from the sale of senior subordinated notes, and cash equivalents on-hand funded these acquisitions.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $59.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we had gross borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities of $408.1 million, $196.6 million of net proceeds from the sale of 83¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 and $14.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan. We used the proceeds from these financing transactions to repay debt and term loans ($447.6 million), repurchase $78.1 million of our 81¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and repurchase $33.0 million of our 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, repay debt financing from minority stockholders, net ($2.0 million) and to fund acquisitions.

(1)          All intercompany notes and the capital stock of most of our U.S. subsidiaries are pledged to secure these debt instruments.

(2)          Most of IME’s non-dormant subsidiaries have either guaranteed this indebtedness or their shares of capital stock and intercompany indebtedness have been pledged to secure this indebtedness. IMI has not guaranteed or otherwise provided security for this indebtedness nor have any of IMI’s U.S., Canadian, Asia Pacific, Mexican or  South American subsidiaries.

(3)          These debt instruments are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, by substantially all of our direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). These guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The remainder of our subsidiaries do not guarantee these debt instruments.

Our indentures use OIBDA-based calculations as primary measures of financial performance, including leverage ratios. Our key bond leverage ratio, as calculated per our bond indentures, was 5.0 and 4.7 as of December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Noncompliance with this leverage ratio would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity. Our target for this ratio is generally in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 while the maximum ratio allowable under the bond indentures is 6.5.

Our ability to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, working capital levels and capital structure, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future financings will be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to enable us to service or refinance our indebtedness, or to make necessary capital expenditures.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 includes 82.0 million British pounds sterling and 124.1 million Euro of borrowings (totaling $311.1 million) under the IME Credit Agreement; we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling 1.7 million British pounds sterling ($3.2 million). The remaining availability, based on IME’s current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IME revolving credit facility on July 31, 2006, was approximately 31.3 million British pounds sterling

48




($58.4 million). The interest rates in effect under the IME revolving credit facility ranged from 4.3% to 6.2% as of July 31, 2006.

As of September 30, 2006, we had $168.8 million of borrowings under the IMI revolving credit facility, all of which was dominated in Canadian dollars (CAD 188.0 million); we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $24.0 million. The remaining availability, based on Iron Mountain Incorporated’s (“IMI”) current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IMI revolving credit facility, on September 30, 2006 was $207.2 million. The interest rate in effect under the IMI revolving credit facility and IMI term loan facility ranged from 6.0% to 6.3% and 7.0% to 7.3%, respectively, as of September 30, 2006.

The IME Credit Agreement, IMI Credit Agreement, our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the IME Credit Agreement, IMI Credit Agreement and our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all material debt covenants as of September 30, 2006.

In July 2006, we completed an underwritten public offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 83¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, which were issued at par. Our net proceeds of $196.6 million, after paying the underwriters’ discounts, commissions and transaction fees, were used to (a) fund our offer to purchase and consent solicitation of $78.1 million in aggregate principle amount of our outstanding 81¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011, (b) fund our purchase in the open market of $33.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, and (c) repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As a result, we recorded a charge to other expense (income), net of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2006 related to the early extinguishment of the 81¤4% and 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which consists of tender premiums and transaction costs, deferred financing costs, as well as original issue discounts and premiums related to the 81¤4% and 85¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

In July 2006, we experienced a significant fire in a records and information management facility in London, England that resulted in the complete destruction of the leased facility. We believe we carry adequate property and liability insurance and are in the process of assessing the cause of, and other circumstances involved with, the fire. We do not expect that this event will have a material impact to our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Revenues from this facility represent less than 1% of our consolidated enterprise revenues. As of September 30, 2006, we have approximately $9.4 million recorded as an insurance receivable which is included in prepaid expenses and other in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet which primarily represents the net book value of the property, plant and equipment associated with this facility at the time of the incident, net of $1.8 million of property insurance proceeds received to date. We expect to receive the property portion of our insurance claim with our insurance carriers within the next twelve months. Additionally, we will be seeking a recovery of amounts under a business interruption claim with our insurance carriers. The timing of such recovery and the amounts are uncertain at this time.

In October 2006, we issued, in a private placement, $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, which were issued at a price of 99.3% of par; and 30 million Euro in aggregate principal amount of our 63¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, which were issued at a price of 99.5% of par. Our net proceeds of $85.5 million, after sales commission, were used to pay down existing debt under the IMI and IME revolving credit facilities.

49




We expect to meet our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months from cash generated from operations, existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, borrowings under the IMI and IME revolving credit facilities and other financings, which may include secured credit facilities, securitizations and mortgage or capital lease financings. We expect to meet our long-term cash flow requirements using the same means described above, as well as the potential issuance of debt or equity securities as we deem appropriate. See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

At September 30, 2006, we had estimated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $66.3 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. These net operating loss carryforwards do not include approximately $103 million of potential preacquisition net operating loss carryforwards of Arcus Group, Inc. Any tax benefit realized related to preacquisition net operating loss carryforwards will be recorded as a reduction of goodwill when, and if, realized. As a result of these loss carryforwards, we do not expect to pay any significant U.S. federal and state income taxes in 2006.

Seasonality

Historically, our businesses have not been subject to seasonality in any material respect.

Inflation

Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Although to date we have been able to offset inflationary cost increases through increased operating efficiencies and the negotiation of favorable long-term real estate leases, we can give no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies, leases or increased storage or service charges.

Item 3.                        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Given the recurring nature of our revenues and the long term nature of our asset base, we have the ability and the preference to use long term, fixed interest rate debt to finance our business, thereby helping to preserve our long term returns on invested capital. We target a range of 80% to 85% of our debt portfolio to be fixed with respect to interest rates.

As of September 30, 2006, we had $593.6 million of variable rate debt outstanding with a weighted average variable interest rate of 6.3%, and $2,041.2 million of fixed rate debt outstanding. As of September 30, 2006, 77% of our total debt outstanding was fixed. If the weighted average variable interest rate on our variable rate debt had increased by 1%, our net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 would have been reduced by $1.7 million. See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our long-term indebtedness, including the fair values of such indebtedness as of September 30, 2006.

50




In June 2006, IME entered into a floating for fixed interest rate swap contract with a notional value of 75.0 million British pounds sterling, which will expire on March 2008 and was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap agreement hedges interest rate risk on IME’s 100.0 million British pounds multi-currency term loan facility. The notional value of the swap will decline to 60.0 million British pounds sterling in March 2007 to match the remaining term loan amount outstanding as of that date.

Currency Risk

Our investments in IME, Iron Mountain Canada Corporation (“IM Canada”), Iron Mountain Mexico, SA de RL de CV, IMSA and other international investments may be subject to risks and uncertainties related to fluctuations in currency valuation. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, our international revenues and expenses are generated in the currencies of the countries in which we operate, primarily the Euro, Canadian dollar and British pound sterling. The currencies of many Latin American countries, particularly the Argentine peso, have experienced substantial volatility and depreciation. Declines in the value of the local currencies in which we are paid relative to the U.S. dollar will cause revenues in U.S. dollar terms to decrease and dollar-denominated liabilities to increase in local currency.

The impact on our earnings is mitigated somewhat by the fact that most operating and other expenses are also incurred and paid in the local currency. We also have several intercompany obligations between our foreign subsidiaries and IMI and our U.S.-based subsidiaries and our foreign subsidiaries and IME. These intercompany obligations are primarily denominated in the local currency of the foreign subsidiary.

We have adopted and implemented a number of strategies to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuations in currency valuations. One strategy is to finance our largest international subsidiaries with local debt that is denominated in local currencies, thereby providing a natural hedge. In determining the amount of any such financing, we take into account local tax strategies among other factors. Another strategy we utilize is to borrow in foreign currencies at the U.S. parent level to hedge our intercompany financing activities. Finally, on occasion, we enter into currency swaps to temporarily or permanently hedge an overseas investment, such as a major acquisition to lock in certain transaction economics. We have implemented these strategies for our three foreign investments in the U.K., Canada and Asia Pacific. Specifically, through IME borrowing under the IME Credit Agreement and our 150 million British pounds sterling denominated 71¤4%  senior subordinated notes, we effectively hedge most of our outstanding intercompany loan with IME. IM Canada has financed their capital needs through direct borrowings in Canadian dollars under the IMI revolving credit facility. This creates a tax efficient natural currency hedge. To fund the acquisition of Pickfords in Australia and New Zealand, IMI borrowed Australian and New Zealand dollars under its multi-currency revolving credit facility. These borrowings provided a tax efficient natural hedge against the intercompany loans created at the time of the acquisition. Subsequently, we repaid such borrowings under our multi-currency revolving credit facility and contemporaneously in September 2006, we entered into a forward contract program to exchange U.S. dollars for 55 million in Australian dollars (AUD) and 20.2 million in New Zealand dollars (NZD) to hedge our intercompany exposure in these countries. These forward contracts settle on a monthly basis, at which time we enter into new forward contracts for the same underlying AUD and NZD amounts, to continue to hedge movements in AUD and NZD against the U.S. dollar. At the time of settlement, we either pay or receive the net settlement amount from the forward contract. As of September 30, 2006, except as noted above, our currency exposures to intercompany balances are unhedged.

The impact of devaluation or depreciating currency on an entity depends on the residual effect on the local economy and the ability of an entity to raise prices and/or reduce expenses. Due to our constantly changing currency exposure and the potential substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange fluctuations on our business. The effect of a change in foreign exchange rates on our net investment in foreign subsidiaries is reflected in the “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Items, net” component of stockholders’ equity.

51




Item 4.                        Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. As of September 30, 2006 (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.                        Legal Proceedings

We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business with a portion of the defense and/or settlement costs being covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us. In the opinion of management, no material legal proceedings are pending to which we, or any of our properties, are subject.

Item 1A.                Risk Factors

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, other than the insertion of one additional risk factor as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 11, 2006.
