NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

1.   Significant Accounting Policies

The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2003 Combined Form 10-K.

Certain amounts in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss.

2.   Acquisitions

On January 8, 2004, the Company purchased the assets of Advantage Advertising, LLC valued at approximately $7,158. The purchase price consisted of approximately $5,728 cash at closing and the exercise of an option agreement previously entered into, valued at approximately $1,430.

On January 30, 2004, the Company purchased the assets of Action Advertising, Inc. for a cash purchase price of approximately $8,610.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company completed additional acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of approximately $10,980, which consisted of the issuance of 68,986 shares of Lamar Advertising Class A common stock valued at $2,476, warrants valued at $1,794 and $6,710 cash.

Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions.

4.   Long-Term Debt

On February 6, 2004, Lamar Media amended its credit agreement dated March 7, 2003 whereby it changed its $975,000 term facility to include a $425,000 Tranche A and a $550,000 Tranche C facility. The proceeds were used to pay off the Tranche B facility and the total debt outstanding remained unchanged.

5.   Asset Retirement Obligation

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (Statement 143), and recorded a loss of $11,679 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, which is net of an income tax benefit of $7,467. Prior to its adoption of Statement 143, the Company expensed these costs at the date of retirement.

All of the Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to the Company’s structure inventory that it considers would be retired upon dismantlement of the advertising structure. The following table reflects information related to our asset retirement obligations:

6.   Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock option plan under the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” permit entities to recognize as an expense over the vesting period, the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has been applied.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per common share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

7.   Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries

Separate financial statements of each of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that have guaranteed Lamar Media’s obligations with respect to its publicly issued notes (collectively, the Guarantors) are not included herein because the Company has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and the only subsidiary that is not a guarantor is considered to be minor. Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under the terms of its bank credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the net assets restricted as to transfers from Lamar Media Corp. to Lamar Advertising Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances were $1,948,778 and $1,937,244, respectively.

8.   Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt. The number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation because of their anti-dilutive effect is 6,125,133 and 6,590,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

9.   Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and existing variable interest entities at the end of the period ending after March 15, 2004. The application of this Interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as the Company has no interest in variable interest entities.

10.   Subsequent Event

An unsolicited offer was made by Outdoor Promotions, Inc. to purchase selected transit advertising assets from the Company for approximately $2,950. The sale of these assets was closed on April 23, 2004 at which time the carrying value was approximately $7,030.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties described in the section of this combined report on Form 10-Q entitled “Note Regarding Forward – Looking Statements” and in the 2003 Combined Form 10-K under the caption “Factors Affecting Future Operating Results.” You should carefully consider each of these risks and uncertainties in evaluating the Company’s and Lamar Media’s financial conditions and results of operations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These statements speak only as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the statements, except as may be required by law.

Lamar Advertising Company

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s net revenues, which represent gross revenues less commissions paid to advertising agencies that contract for the use of advertising displays on behalf of advertisers, are derived primarily from the sale of advertising on outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. The Company relies on sales of advertising space for its revenues, and its operating results are therefore affected by general economic conditions, as well as trends in the advertising industry. Advertising spending is particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions.

Since December 31, 2001, the Company has increased the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates by approximately 3% by completing over 170 strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising and transit assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $349 million, which included the issuance of 3,024,545 shares of Lamar Advertising Company Class A common stock valued at the time of issuance at approximately $109.2 million and warrants valued at the time of issuance of approximately $1.8 million. The Company has financed its recent acquisitions and intends to finance its future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its bank credit agreement, as amended, and the issuance of Class A common stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. As a result of acquisitions, the operating performance of individual markets and of the Company as a whole are not necessarily comparable on a year-to-year basis. The Company expects to continue to pursue acquisitions that complement the Company’s existing operations.

Growth of the Company’s business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs associated with new billboard displays, logo sign and transit contracts, and the purchase of real estate and operating equipment. The following table presents a breakdown of capitalized expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003

Net revenues increased $16.8 million or 9.1% to $201.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $184.2 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million or 9.6%. The increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million was due to both acquisition activity and internal growth. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue(1) for the three months ended March 31, 2003, which includes adjustments for acquisitions for the same time frame as actually owned in 2004, increased $11.1 million or 5.9% as a result of net revenue internal growth.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $4.8 million or 4.2% to $119.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $114.4 million for the same period in 2003. There was a $4.2 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in costs in operating the Company’s core assets and a $0.6 million increase in corporate expenses which is primarily related to the new national sales department established at the corporate headquarters to better serve the Company’s national accounts.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.8 million or 2.7% from $67.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $69.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, due to continued acquisition activity and capital expenditures.

Due to the above factors, operating income increased $11.1 million to $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2003.

Interest expense decreased $6.2 million from $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as a result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 there were no refinancing activities resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The increase in operating income, the absence of the loss on extinguishment of debt and the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $28.3 million decrease in loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. There was a decrease in the income tax benefit of $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 over the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is 41.1%.

Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 143 during the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of $11.7 million net of an income tax benefit of $7.5 million.

As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $2.4 million, as compared to a net loss of $32.3 million for the same period in 2003.

On April 23, 2004, the Company sold transit advertising assets with a carrying value of approximately $7.0 million to Outdoor Promotions, Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $3.0 million, which will be recorded as a loss on disposition of assets in the second quarter of 2004. The sale of these assets is not expected to have a material effect on our revenues.


(1)   Reconciliation of Reported Net Revenue to Acquisition-Adjusted Net Revenue:
                 
    Three months ended March 31,
    (in thousands)
    2004
  2003
Reported net revenue
  $ 200,976     $ 184,221  
Acquisition net revenue

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue
  $ 200,976     $ 189,842  
 
   
 
     
 
 

    The Company’s management believes that acquisition-adjusted net revenue is useful in evaluating the Company’s performance and provides investors and financial analysts a better understanding of the Company’s core operating results. The acquisition adjustments are intended to provide information that may be useful for investors when assessing period to period results. Our presentations of this measure, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under its bank credit facility. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the borrower under the bank credit facility and maintains all corporate cash balances. Any cash requirements of Lamar Advertising, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media. The Company’s acquisitions have been financed primarily with funds borrowed under the bank credit facility and issuance of its Class A common stock and debt securities. If an acquisition is made by one of the Company’s subsidiaries using the Company’s Class A common stock, a permanent contribution of additional paid-in-capital of Class A common stock is distributed to that subsidiary.

The Company’s cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 due primarily to a decrease in net loss of $29.8 million offset by a decrease in adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $13.1 million, which primarily includes a decrease in the loss on extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million, a decrease in the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $11.7 million offset by a decrease in deferred income tax benefit of $10.0 million. In addition, as compared to the same period in 2003, there were increases in the change in receivables of $1.2 million and prepaid expenses of $1.2 million, and decreases in other liabilities of $0.5 million, trade accounts payable of $0.4 million and in accrued expenses of $0.6 million offset by a decrease in other assets of $1.7 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $12.3 million from $23.5 million in 2003 to $35.8 million in 2004 primarily due to the increase in cash used in acquisition activity by the Company in 2004 of $14.4 million offset by a decrease in cash used for capital expenditures of $1.9 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 due to a decrease in cash from deposits for debt extinguishment of $266.7 million offset by a $262.0 million decrease in principal payments of long-term debt related to the Company’s refinancing activity in 2003. In addition, there was a $6.1 million increase in proceeds from issuance of the Company’s Class A common stock related to option activity, a $7.4 million decrease in debt issuance costs and a $5.0 million increase in net payments under credit agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company financed its acquisition activity of approximately $25.3 million with borrowings under Lamar Media’s revolving credit facility and cash on hand totaling $21.0 million as well as the issuance of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants valued at the time of issuance at approximately $4.3 million.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., amended its bank credit facility in February 2004 whereby it changed its $975.0 million term facility which included a $300 million Tranche A facility and a $675 million Tranche B facility to a $425.0 million Tranche A and a $550.0 million Tranche C facility. The total debt outstanding remained unchanged. The bank credit facility is comprised of a $225.0 million revolving bank credit facility and a $975.0 million term facility. The bank credit facility also includes a $500.0 million incremental facility, which permits Lamar Media to request that its lenders enter into commitments to make additional term loans to it, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $500.0 million. The lenders have no obligation to make additional term loans to Lamar Media under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion. At March 31, 2004, Lamar Media had $182.3 million available under its revolving bank credit facility.

In the future, Lamar Media has principal reduction obligations and revolver commitment reductions under its bank credit agreement. In addition it has fixed commercial commitments. These commitments were detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, which was filed on March 10, 2004 and there have been no material changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Currently Lamar Media has outstanding approximately $385.0 million 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 issued in December 2002 and June 2003. The indenture relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur indebtedness other than:

    up to $1.3 billion of indebtedness under its bank credit facility;

    currently outstanding indebtedness or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt;

    inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its subsidiaries or between subsidiaries;

    certain purchase money indebtedness and capitalized lease obligations to acquire or lease property in the ordinary course of business that cannot exceed the greater of $20 million or 5% of Lamar Media’s net tangible assets; and

    additional debt not to exceed $40 million.

Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under its bank credit agreement. If the Company fails to comply with these tests, the payments set forth in the above table may be accelerated. At March 31, 2004 and currently Lamar Media is in compliance with all such tests.

Lamar Media cannot exceed the following financial ratios under its bank credit facility:

  a total debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters, of 6.00 to 1 (through December 30, 2004) and 5.75 to 1 (after December 30, 2004); and

  a senior debt ratio, defined as total consolidated senior debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters, of 4.00 to 1 (through December 30, 2004) and 3.75 to 1 (after December 30, 2004).

In addition, the bank credit facility requires that Lamar Media must maintain the following financial ratios:

  an interest coverage ratio defined as EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters to total consolidated accrued interest expense for that period, of at least 2.25 to 1; and

  a fixed charges coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters to (1) the total payments of principal and interest on debt for such period (2) capital expenditures made during such period and (3) income and franchise tax payments made during such period, of at least 1.05 to 1.

As defined under Lamar Media’s bank credit facility, EBITDA is for any period, operating income for Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated before taxes, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash income or charges accrued for such period and (except to the extent received or paid in cash by Lamar Media or any of its restricted subsidiaries) income or loss attributable to equity in affiliates for such period) excluding any extraordinary and unusual gains or losses during such period and excluding the proceeds of any casualty events whereby insurance or other proceeds are received and certain dispositions not in the ordinary course. Any dividend payment made by Lamar Media or any of its restricted subsidiaries to Lamar Advertising Company during any period to enable Lamar Advertising Company to pay certain qualified expenses on behalf of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries, shall be treated as operating expenses of Lamar Media for the purposes of calculating EBITDA for such period. EBITDA under the bank credit agreement is also adjusted to reflect certain acquisitions or dispositions as if such acquisitions or dispositions were made on the first day of such period.

The Company believes that its current level of cash on hand, availability under its bank credit agreement and future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet its operating needs through the year 2004. All debt obligations are on the Company’s balance sheet.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and existing variable interest entities at the end of the period ending after March 15, 2004. The application of this Interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as the Company has no interest in variable interest entities.

Lamar Media Corp.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes.

Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003

Net revenues increased $16.8 million or 9.1% to $201.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $184.2 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million or 9.6%. The increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million was due to both acquisition activity and internal growth. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue(2) for the three months ended March 31, 2003, which includes adjustments for acquisitions for the same time frame as actually owned in 2004, increased $11.1 million or 5.9% as a result of net revenue internal growth.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $4.7 million or 4.1% to $119.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $114.4 million for the same period in 2003. There was a $4.2 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in costs in operating Media’s core assets and a $0.6 million increase in corporate expenses which is primarily related to the new national sales department established at the corporate headquarters to better serve Media’s national accounts.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million or 3.1% from $66.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $68.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, due to continued acquisition activity and capital expenditures.

Due to the above factors, operating income increased $10.8 million to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2003.

Interest expense decreased $4.5 million from $20.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as a result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt. In addition for the three months ended March 31, 2004 there were no refinancing activities resulting in a loss of extinguishment of debt.

The increase in operating income, the absence of the loss on extinguishment of debt and the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $26.4 million decrease in loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. There was a decrease in the income tax benefit of $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 over the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is 41.1%.

Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 143 during the three months ended March 31, 2003, Media recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of $11.7 million net of an income tax benefit of $7.5 million.

As a result of the above factors, Media recognized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $0.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $29.4 million for the same period in 2003.

On April 23, 2004, the Company sold transit advertising assets with a carrying value of approximately $7.0 million to Outdoor Promotions, Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $3.0 million, which will be recorded as a loss on disposition of assets in the second quarter 2004. The sale of these assets is not expected to have a material effect on our revenues.


(2)   Reconciliation of Reported Net Revenue to Acquisition-Adjusted Net Revenue:
                 
    Three months ended March 31,
    (in thousands)
    2004
  2003
Reported net revenue
  $ 200,976     $ 184,221  
Acquisition net revenue
          5,621  
 
   
 
     
 
 
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue
  $ 200,976     $ 189,842  
 
   
 
     
 
 

    Media’s management believes that acquisition-adjusted net revenue is useful in evaluating the Company’s performance and provides investors and financial analysts a better understanding of Media’s core operating results. The acquisition adjustments are intended to provide information that may be useful for investors when assessing period to period results. Our presentations of this measure, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.

Lamar Advertising Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Lamar Media Corp. The information below summarizes the Company’s interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at March 31, 2004, and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, which was filed on March 10, 2004.

Loans under Lamar Media Corp.’s bank credit agreement bear interest at variable rates equal to the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Because the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR may increase or decrease at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in these base rates may have on the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the bank credit agreement. Increases in the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the bank credit agreement would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company’s net income.

At March 31, 2004, there was approximately $1.0 billion of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the bank credit agreement, or approximately 60.2% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the first quarter of 2004 with respect to borrowings under the bank credit agreement was $8.3 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during the first quarter of 2004 was 3.1%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 5.1% rather than 3.1%), then the Company’s first quarter 2004 interest expense would have been approximately $5.2 million higher resulting in a $3.1 million increase in the Company’s first quarter 2004 net loss.

The Company has attempted to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by issuing fixed rate long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the amount of the Company’s variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition, the Company has the capability under the bank credit agreement to fix the interest rates applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months, which would allow the Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. In the event of an increase in interest rates, the Company may take further actions to mitigate its exposure. The Company cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or that, if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s and Lamar Media’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and Lamar Media, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s and Lamar Media’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and Lamar Media concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s and Lamar Media’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

b)   Changes in internal controls.

There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company and Lamar Media identified in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control performed during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHSES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

(c) In connection with the acquisition of the Robert G. Woodward Entities on January 9, 2004, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 50,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a price per share of $35.89 (the “Warrant”), which is exercisable in whole or part through January 9, 2009. The total acquisition consideration for the Robert G. Woodward Entities consisted of the Warrant, approximately $1.9 million in cash and 68,986 shares of Class A common stock, which were issued off the Company’s effective S-4 registration statement (File No. 333-108689). The Warrant was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. As a basis for doing so the Company relied on the following facts: (1) the Company offered these securities to one offeree without any general solicitation and (2) the Company obtained representations from the purchaser that it was acquiring the shares for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the same.

EX-4.1 2 d15197exv4w1.txt AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 4.1 AMENDMENT NO. 1 AMENDMENT NO. 1 dated as of January 28, 2004 to the Credit Agreement dated as of March 7, 2003 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") between LAMAR MEDIA CORP. (the "Borrower"), the SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS party thereto (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), the lenders party thereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as administrative agent for the lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"). The Borrower, and the Administrative Agent pursuant to authority granted by, and having obtained all necessary consents of, (i) the Required Lenders (not including the Tranche B Lenders) and (ii) the Required Tranche A Lenders party to the Credit Agreement (such Required Lenders and Required Tranche A Lenders being herein referred to as the "Required Amendment Lenders"), wish now to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects, and accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: Section 1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. Section 2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4 below, but effective as of the date hereof, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows: 2.01. References Generally. References in the Credit Agreement (including references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby) to "this Agreement" (and indirect references such as "hereunder", "hereby", "herein" and "hereof") shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. 2.02. Definitions. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by amending the following definitions (to the extent already included in said Section 1.01) and adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical location (to the extent not already included in said Section 1.01): "Additional Tranche A Commitment" means, with respect to each Additional Tranche A Lender, the commitment of such Lender to make Tranche A Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(e). The aggregate original amount of the Additional Tranche A Commitment is $125,000,000. "Additional Tranche A Lender" means any Lender that makes Additional Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(e). "Additional Tranche A Term Loan" means a Loan made pursuant to this Agreement which constitutes an increase in the Tranche A Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(e). Amendment No. 1 - 2 - "Amendment No. 1 Effective Date" means the date upon which the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of Amendment No. 1 hereto shall have been satisfied or waived. "Incremental Loan Commitment" means, with respect to each Lender, the amount of the offer of such Lender to make Incremental Loans of any Series that is accepted by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(d), as such amount may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 and (b) reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to Section 10.04. The aggregate amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments of all Series shall not exceed $500,000,000, provided that, in addition to and without utilizing such limit, on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date the Borrower shall establish a Series of Incremental Loan Commitments (designated as Tranche C Commitments) which Commitments shall either (x) provide that the proceeds of any Incremental Loans made under such Tranche C Commitments are required to be applied to the payment or prepayment of principal of Tranche B Term Loans outstanding hereunder on the date such Incremental Loans are made or (y) provide, as to any Incremental Loan Lender that wishes to hold Incremental Loans made under such Tranche C Commitments and that also holds Tranche B Term Loans that such Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent, to convert existing Tranche B Term Loans held by it into Incremental Loans of such Series. "Tranche A Commitment" means, with respect to each Lender, the commitment, if any, of such Lender to make Tranche A Term Loans on the Effective Date (and, with respect to each Additional Tranche A Lender, the commitment, if any, of such Additional Tranche A Lender to make Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(e)), expressed as an amount representing the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans to be made by such Lender hereunder, as such commitment may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 or (b) reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to Section 10.04. The initial amount of each Lender's Tranche A Commitment is set forth opposite the name of such Lender on its Lender Addendum to this Agreement (or, in the case of an Additional Tranche A Commitment, set forth opposite the name of such Lender on its Lender Addendum to Amendment No. 1 hereto) under the caption "Tranche A Commitment" (or "Additional Tranche A Commitment") or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender shall have assumed its Tranche A Commitment, as applicable. The aggregate amount of the Tranche A Commitments, after giving effect to Amendment No. 1 hereto, is $425,000,000. No portion of the Tranche A Commitments shall be deemed to be Incremental Commitments for any purpose of this Agreement. "Tranche A Lender" means (a) initially, a Lender that has a "Tranche A Commitment" set forth opposite the name of such Lender on its Lender Addendum to this Agreement (or an "Additional Tranche A commitment" set forth opposite the name of Amendment No. 1 - 3 - such Lender on its Lender Addendum to Amendment No. 1 hereto) and (b) thereafter, the Lenders from time to time holding Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche A Commitments, after giving effect to any assignments thereof permitted by Section 10.04. 2.03. Incremental Loans. Section 2.01(d) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows: "(d) Incremental Loans. In addition to Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, at any time and from time to time, the Borrower may request that the Lenders (or other financial institutions agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) offer to enter into commitments to make additional term loans (each such loan being herein called an "Incremental Loan") under this paragraph (d). In the event that one or more of the Lenders (or such other financial institutions) offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders (or financial institutions) and the Borrower agree as to the amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders (or financial institutions) making such offers and the fees (if any) to be payable by the Borrower in connection therewith, such Lenders (or financial institutions) shall become obligated to make Incremental Loans under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Loan Commitments (and such financial institutions shall become "Incremental Loan Lenders" hereunder). The Incremental Loans to be made pursuant to any such agreement between the Borrower and one or more Lenders (including any such new Lenders) in response to any such request by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a separate "Series" of Incremental Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Loan Commitments entered into pursuant to any such request (and, accordingly, the minimum aggregate principal amount of any Series of Incremental Loans) shall be $10,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Loan Commitments and all outstanding Series of Incremental Loans shall not exceed $500,000,000; provided that (A) the Incremental Loans (designated Tranche C Term Loans) made upon the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall be in addition to and not utilize such $500,000,000 limit, so long as the requirements set forth in the last sentence of the definition of "Incremental Loan Commitment" in Section 1.01 shall be satisfied in respect of such Loans and (B) the Additional Term A Loans made upon the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall not be deemed to be Incremental Loans for any purpose of this Agreement. Following the acceptance by the Borrower of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make any Series of Incremental Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (d), each Incremental Loan Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Loans severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make such Incremental Loans to the Borrower during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including the commitment termination date specified in the agreement entered into with respect to such Series in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitment of such Incremental Loan Lender in respect of such Series as in effect from time to time. The Incremental Loans Amendment No. 1 - 4 - (designated Tranche C Term Loans) upon the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, may, at the option of an Incremental Loan Lender, be made through the conversion of existing Tranche B Term Loans into Incremental Loans of such Series as provided in the last sentence of the definition of "Incremental Loan Commitment" in Section 1.01 (and each reference in this Agreement to the making of any such Incremental Loans or words of similar import, shall in the case of such Lender be deemed to include such conversion). Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may convert Incremental Loans of such Series of one Type into Incremental Loans of such Series of another Type (as provided in Section 2.06) or continue Incremental Loans of such Series of one Type as Incremental Loans of such Series of the same Type (as provided in Section 2.06). Incremental Loans of any Series that are prepaid may not be reborrowed as Incremental Loans of the same Series. Proceeds of Incremental Loans shall be available for any use permitted under the applicable provisions of Section 6.09." 2.04 Increase in Tranche A Term Loans. A new Section 2.01(e) is hereby inserted into the Credit Agreement to read as follows: "(e) Increase in Tranche A Term Loans.

By: _________________________________ Name: Title: Lender Addendum ANNEX 2 [Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Credit Parties] February 6, 2004 To the Tranche C Lenders and the Administrative Agent party to the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement and Credit Agreement referred to below Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel to LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY ("Holdings"), LAMAR MEDIA CORP. (herein the "Borrower") and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in connection with the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement dated as of February 6, 2004 (the "Tranche C Term Loan Agreement") between Lamar Media Corp. (the "Borrower"), the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein, the Tranche C Lenders party thereto (the "Tranche C Lenders") and JPMorgan Chase Bank (the "Administrative Agent"), which Tranche C Term Loan Agreement is being entered into pursuant to Section 2.01(d) of the Credit Agreement dated as of March 7, 2003 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of January 28, 2004, the "Credit Agreement") between the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement and in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to clause (b) of Article IV of the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement. In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following agreements, instruments and other documents: (a) the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement; (b) the Credit Agreement; (c) Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement; and (d) such records of the Credit Parties and such other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. Form of Opinion of Counsel to Credit Parties - 2 - The agreements, instruments and other documents referred to in the foregoing lettered clauses are collectively referred to as the "Credit Documents". In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon statements or certificates of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Documents and certificates and/or opinions of appropriate representatives of the Credit Parties. In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that (except, to the extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, as to the Credit Parties): (i) such documents have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed and delivered by, and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents; (ii) all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized; (iii) all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents; and (iv) the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement has become effective in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02 thereof. References to "our knowledge" or equivalent words means the actual knowledge of the lawyers in this firm responsible for preparing this opinion after such inquiry as they deemed appropriate, including inquiry of such other lawyers in the firm and review of such files of the firm as they have identified as being reasonably likely to have or contain information not otherwise known to them needed to support the opinions set forth below. References to "after due inquiry" or equivalent words means after inquiry of the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel of Holdings, and of lawyers in the firm reasonably likely to have knowledge of the matter to which such reference relates. Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that: 1. Holdings is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, Form of Opinion of Counsel to Credit Parties - 3 - validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower is a corporation, partnership or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state indicated opposite its name in Schedule 4.14 to the Credit Agreement. 2. Each Credit Party has all requisite corporate or other power to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Credit Documents to which it is a party. 3. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of each Credit Document to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of such Credit Party. 4. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party party thereto. 5. Under Louisiana conflict of laws principles, the stated choice of New York law to govern the Credit Documents will be honored by the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Credit Documents will be construed in accordance with, and will be treated as being governed by, the law of the State of New York, except to the extent the result obtained from applying New York law would be contrary to the public policy of the State of Louisiana, provided, however, that we have no knowledge of any Louisiana public policy interest which could reasonably be expected to result in the application of Louisiana law to the Credit Documents. However, if the Credit Documents were stated to be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Louisiana, or if a Louisiana court were to apply the law of the State of Louisiana to the Credit Documents, each Credit Document would nevertheless constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability of the Credit Documents is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and the corresponding discretion of the court before which the proceedings may be brought, including, without limitation, (a) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 6. No authorization, approval or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the United States of America or the State of Louisiana is required on the part of any Credit Party for the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of any of the Credit Documents or for the borrowings by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement. Form of Opinion of Counsel to Credit Parties - 4 - 7. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of, and the consummation by each Credit Party of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Documents to which such Credit Party is a party do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the charter or by-laws of any Credit Party, (b) violate any applicable Louisiana or federal law, rule or regulation, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries of which we have knowledge (after due inquiry) or (d) based on an opinion of the General Counsel of the Borrower, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument of which we have knowledge (after due inquiry) and to which the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of them is subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of any Credit Party pursuant to, the terms of any such agreement or instrument. 8. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.06 to the Credit Agreement, we have no knowledge (after due inquiry) of any legal or arbitral proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, pending or threatened against or affecting the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if adversely determined, could have a Material Adverse Effect. 9. The obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents constitute Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures) for all purposes of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures. 10. The Credit Agreement and the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement will constitute the "Senior Credit Facility" under and for all purposes of each of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures. The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications: (A) The enforceability of Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents) may be limited by (i) laws rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to Federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying such laws and (ii) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct. Form of Opinion of Counsel to Credit Parties - 5 - (B) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances. (C) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any Lender is located (other than the State of Louisiana) that limit the interest, fees or other charges such Lender may impose for the loan or use of money or other credit, (ii) the last sentence of Section 2.16(d) of the Credit Agreement, (iii) Section 3.06 or 3.09 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents) and (iv) the first sentence of Section 10.09(b) of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents), insofar as such sentence relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Documents. (D) We express no opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor (or the enforceability of such obligations) of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations or of the provisions of the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of any Subsidiary Guarantor restricting dividends, loans or other distributions by a corporation for the benefit of its stockholders. (E) The opinions expressed herein as of the date hereof, and except as may otherwise be provided herein, we have no obligation to advise you as to any change in the matters, factual, legal or otherwise, set forth herein after the date of this letter. Without limitation of the foregoing, our opinions in paragraphs 9 and 10 are limited to the Loan Documents and Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures as in effect as of the date hereof. Partners or Associates of this Firm are members of the Bar of the State of Louisiana and we do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the United States of America and the State of Louisiana, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the United States of America, the State of Louisiana and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. At the request of our clients, this opinion letter is, pursuant to Section (b) of Article IV of the Tranche C Term Loan Agreement, provided to you by us in our capacity as counsel to the Credit Parties and may not be relied upon by any Person for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement without, in each instance, our prior written consent.
