The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Outdoor Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Outdoor
Communications, Inc. (formerly known as OCI Holdings Corp.) and subsidiaries as
of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year ended June 30,
1997 and the period April 4, 1996 to June 30, 1996. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Outdoor
Communications, Inc. as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1997 and the period
April 4, 1996 to June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                             June 30, 1997 and 1996



(1)  Organization and Acquisition of Assets
     --------------------------------------

     After the close of business on April 3, 1996, the stockholders of OCI Corp.
     of Michigan (OCIM) and Mass Communications Corp. (MCC) (collectively, the
     companies) entered into a plan of reorganization (the Reorganization Plan)
     to restructure and merge the companies. Pursuant to the Reorganization
     Plan, the stockholders agreed to sell their entire interests in the common
     and preferred stock of the companies. In conjunction with the
     Reorganization Plan, OCI Holdings Corp. (Holdings) was incorporated for the
     purpose of effecting the reorganization and merger. Holdings is a holding
     company with no assets or operations other than its investment in its
     subsidiaries.

     Under the Reorganization Plan, a series of planned transactions were
     executed in the following order: (1) certain outside investors of OCIM (the
     Investors) purchased 24.67 shares and 60 shares of OCIM's common and
     preferred stock, respectively, from the minority shareholders of OCIM for
     $1,908,798; (2) the Investors then exchanged these same shares, together
     with $14,191,202 in cash, for 5,410.73 and 3,869.28 shares of Holdings'
     Class A and Class B common stock, respectively, and $10,465,000 of
     subordinated debt (see note 6); and (3) the remaining 75.33 shares and 840
     shares of OCIM's common and preferred stock, respectively, were purchased
     by Holdings for $7,508,367, which resulted in Holdings being the sole
     stockholder in OCIM's common and preferred stock.

     As a result of the above transactions, OCIM became a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Holdings. As such, the closing balance sheet of OCIM at April
     3, 1996, adjusted to reflect the above transactions, became the opening
     balance sheet of Holdings.

     Immediately following the execution of the Reorganization Plan transactions
     listed above, the stockholders of MCC exchanged 7,731.01 shares of common
     stock and 308.78 shares of preferred stock and sold 5,128.99 shares of
     common stock and 691.22 shares of preferred stock for an aggregate value of
     $25,747,927. This transaction resulted in MCC becoming a wholly owned
     subsidiary of Holdings. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
     purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been
     allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based upon the
     fair value at the date of acquisition as follows:

(1)  Organization and Acquisition of Assets, Continued
     -------------------------------------------------

     The details of the acquisition for the fair value of assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed are as follows: liabilities assumed of $10,750,000;
     subordinated debt issued to the MCC shareholders in the amount of
     $11,011,875; 2,764.99 shares of OCI Holdings Inc. common stock issued to
     MCC shareholders with a value of $2,765,000; and cash paid in the amount of
     $1,221,052 equaling the purchase price of $25,747,927.

     Georgia Acquisition
     -------------------

     Simultaneous to the Reorganization Plan, Outdoor Communications, Inc.,
     (since renamed OCI(S) Corp.) a subsidiary of MCC, completed the purchase of
     the business operations and certain assets of Georgia Outdoor Advertising,
     Inc. (GOA), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 8, 1996,
     for cash of $11,650,000. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
     purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been
     allocated to the net assets based upon their fair values at the date of
     acquisition as follows:

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     The accounting policies of the Company, as summarized below, conform with
     generally accepted accounting principles and reflect practices appropriate
     to the business in which it operates.

     (a)   Principles of Consolidation
           ---------------------------

           The consolidated financial statements include the financial
           statements of Outdoor Communications, Inc. and its wholly owned
           subsidiaries, OCI (N) Corp. and OCI (S) Corp. All significant
           intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
           consolidation.

     (b)   Cash Equivalents
           ----------------

           Cash equivalents consist of repurchase agreements and money market
           funds. For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the
           Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities
           of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
           equivalents.

     (c)   Property and Equipment
           -----------------------

           Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on plant and
           equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the
           estimated useful lives of the assets.

     (d)   Intangible Assets
           -----------------

           Intangible assets include goodwill, non-compete agreements and
           customer lists. Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase
           price over fair value of net assets acquired on their dates of
           acquisition, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected
           periods to be benefited, ranging from 20 to 25 years. The non-compete
           agreements are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements,
           which range from 4 to 10 years. Customer lists resulting from
           acquisitions are amortized on the straight-line method over 8 years.

           The Company assesses the recoverability of all long-lived intangible
           assets by determining whether the amortization of the intangible
           assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through
           undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired operation.
           The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected
           discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate
           reflecting the Company's average cost of funds.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
     -----------------------------------------------------

     (e)   Deferred Financing Costs
           ------------------------

           Financing costs incurred as a result of obtaining long-term debt are
           recorded as deferred financing costs and are amortized on a straight-
           line basis over the term of the related debt (see note 5) and
           reflected as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated
           statements of operations.

     (f)   Employee Benefits
           -----------------

           The Company is self-insured for its employee health care plan. The
           liability for self-insurance reflects the cost for the uninsured
           portion of unpaid claims at year end. The liability is based on
           estimates for claims reported prior to year end, using reported claim
           information, and estimates for incurred but not reported, based on
           historical results of the Company's plan, as well as certain industry
           information.

     (g)   Retirement Program
           ------------------

           OCIN provides a defined contribution 401(k) plan, which covers all of
           its full-time employees with one or more years of service. Eligible
           employees can contribute up to 12% of their compensation through
           payroll deductions. OCIN contributes an amount equal to 50% of each
           employee's contribution up to 3% of the employee's total
           compensation.

     (h)   Revenue Recognition
           -------------------

           The Company recognizes revenue from advertising contracts on an
           accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts, which range
           from 1 to 12 months, as advertising services are provided.
           Advertising revenues from retail consumer products, hospitality, and
           automotive industry constitute approximately 34% of gross revenues.
           No other industry is the source of 10% or more of gross revenues.

     (i)   Income Taxes
           ------------

           Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
           Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
           consequences attributable to differences between the financial
           statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
           their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
           carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
           enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
           which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
           settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
           change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
           includes the enactment date.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
     -----------------------------------------------------

     (j)   Other Assets
           ------------

           Other assets consist principally of inventory and the cash surrender
           value of officer life insurance.

     (k)   Use of Estimates
           ----------------

           Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
           assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and
           the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
           financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
           principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (l)   Financial Instruments
           ---------------------

           The Company utilizes hedged interest rate swap agreements. The
           interest rate swap agreements involves the exchange of fixed- and
           floating-rate interest payments periodically over the life of the
           agreement without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts.
           The differential to be paid or received, on a quarterly basis, is
           accrued as interest rates change and is recognized as an adjustment
           to interest expense.

     (m)   Earnings Per Share
           ------------------

           An earnings per share calculation has not been presented because the
           Company is closely held by a private investor group and, accordingly,
           earnings per share is not required or meaningful.

     (n)   Reclassifications
           -----------------

           Certain 1996 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to
           conform to the 1997 presentation.

(5)  Credit Facility
     ---------------

     The Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") with
     Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (Chase) and a syndicate consisting of various
     other financial institutions (collectively called the "Bank") on the close
     of business on April 3, 1996. The Credit Facility consists of a Term Loan A
     Commitment for $40 million, Term Loan B Commitment for $20 million, (the
     "Term Loans") and a Revolving Loan Commitment (the "Revolver") of $30
     million (collectively the "Borrowings"). The Credit Facility was amended at
     October 31, 1996 and the term loan B commitment and Revolver were increased
     to $40 million and $60 million, respectively. The Term Loans are due June
     30, 2003. Collateral includes a first lien on all tangible and intangible
     property of the Company, assignment of all leases, and a guaranty by OCI
     and all of its subsidiaries.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued



(5)  Credit Facility, Continued
     --------------------------

     The Credit Facility enables the Company to borrow funds at a rate equal to
     3% plus the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or 1.75% over the Bank's
     prime lending rate. The Credit Facility also enables the Company to realize
     a lower interest rate if its leverage ratio meets certain levels as
     stipulated in the Credit Facility. At June 30, 1997, the interest rate was
     8.5%. Accrued interest is payable in quarterly installments on March 31,
     June 30, September 30, and December 31. The Credit Facility also requires
     payment of a commitment fee of 1/2 of 1% per annum on the daily average
     aggregate unutilized commitment from the Bank. Accrued commitment fees are
     due quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.

     Available borrowings under the Revolver are permanently reduced on the last
     day of each fiscal quarter beginning September 30, 1997 by $1,250,000,
     thereby reducing the availability to zero on June 30, 2003. At June 30,
     1997, the Company had borrowed $35,650,000 and $17,473,125 of the Revolver
     was available for additional borrowings by the Company.

     The Credit Facility contains certain warranties and affirmative covenants
     that must be complied with on a continuing basis. In addition, the Credit
     Facility contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other things,
     restrict the Company from incurring additional debt and liens on assets,
     limits the amount of capital expenditures during any fiscal year, and
     prohibits the consolidation, merger or sale of assets, or issuance of
     common stock except as permitted by the Credit Facility. The Credit
     Facility also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. At
     June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company was in compliance with all such
     covenants.

     The Company has the right to prepay the Borrowings in whole or in part,
     without premium or penalty, as stipulated in the Credit Facility. In
     August, 1997, the Credit Facility was replaced with a New Credit Facility
     and Public Note Offering (see note 18). As such, the portion of long-term
     debt outstanding at June 30, 1997 under the Credit Facility has been
     classified as long-term in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
     Under the New Credit Facility and Public Note Offering, there are no
     principle payments due in the next five years. Additionally, the Company
     will recognize an extraordinary loss of approximately $4,200,000 in the
     first quarter of fiscal year 1998 as a result of the refinancing (note 19).

(6)  Subordinated Debt
     ------------------

     The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement")
     after the close of business on April 3, 1996 with certain management
     investors and outside investors. In connection with the reorganization
     discussed in note 1, the Company issued its 10% subordinated notes
     ("notes") due December 31, 2003. The subordinated notes are comprised of
     two series; Series A 10% subordinated notes in the amount of $5,525,000 in
     1997 and $5,200,000 in 1996, and Series B 10% subordinated notes in the
     amount of $16,900,000 in 1997 and 1996.

     Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance of the notes is
     payable at a rate of 10% per annum, computed on the basis of a 365 day
     year, and is payable annually on March 31, commencing in 1997. The
     Agreement allows the Company to only pay 46% of the accrued and unpaid
     interest on an annual basis. The remaining 54% is deferred and bears
     interest at a rate of 10% per annum and is due in accordance with the terms
     of the Agreement, but in any event no later than December 31, 2003. Accrued
     interest at June 30, 1997 and 1996 amounted to $1,911,584 and $489,370,
     respectively.

     The Agreement contains certain warranties and affirmative covenants that
     must be complied with on a continuing basis. The Agreement also contains
     certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, restricts the
     Company from entering into transactions with affiliates outside the
     ordinary course of business, consummating a sale of the Company, or
     engaging in any new lines of business. At June 30, 1997 and 1996, the
     Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

     See note 11 regarding the exchange of subordinated debt and accrued
     interest for Series A Preferred Stock of the Company and preferred
     interests in a newly formed non-operating subsidiary, OCIH LLC (OCIH). See
     note 18 regarding the Company's Public Note Offering on August 12, 1997,
     and note 19 for pro forma effects of this transaction.

(7)  Notes Payable--Stockholders
     ---------------------------

     On the close of business on April 3, 1996, New South Holdings Corp., a
     wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, entered into written agreements with
     the Company's chairman and president, borrowing in total $5,876,875. The
     entire principal balance is due in full on April 3, 1998. The notes bear
     interest at a rate which fluctuates quarterly based on the interest rate
     per the Credit Agreement less the sum of the applicable eurodollar margin
     (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 1/8 of 1%. The interest rate at
     June 30, 1997 was 5.41%. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal
     balance of the notes is payable quarterly, commencing June 30, 1996. The
     notes are secured by a Letter of Credit issued by The Chase Manhattan Bank,
     N.A.

(8) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
    -----------------------------------

    The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of the Company's
    financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of FASB
    Statement No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
    ("Statement 107"). Statement 107 defines the fair value of a financial
    instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
    current transaction between willing parties.

    The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable,
    due from affiliated entity, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and
    obligations under non-compete agreements approximate fair values due to the
    short-term maturities of these instruments. Interest rate swaps, long-term
    debt instruments and notes payable stockholders are estimated to approximate
    fair values as rates are tied to short-term indices. The subordinated debt
    bears interest at a rate which approximates market for unsecured debt.

</TABLE>

       The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended June
       30, 1997 was a decrease of $18,000 and for the period ended June 30, 1996
       was a decrease of $40,000.

       In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
       considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
       the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
       deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
       income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
       deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred
       taxes, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in
       making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax
       assets, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of
       approximately $833,000 for OCIN prior to the expiration of the net
       operating loss carryforwards in 2010. Based upon the level of historical
       taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods
       which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is
       more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these
       deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance at June
       30, 1997 and 1996. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered
       realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of
       future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

       At June 30, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
       federal income tax purposes of approximately $833,000, all of which were
       incurred prior to the restructuring of the ownership of OCIN, with
       Holdings becoming the common parent. As a result of the restructuring,
       future utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards is limited
       under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 to approximately $487,000
       annually for OCIN. Additionally, these net operating loss carryforwards
       can only be utilized to offset future taxable income of OCIN, if any,
       through the year 2010.

       The Company also has an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of
       $182,973, which is available to reduce future regular income taxes, if
       any, over an indefinite period. In addition, the Company has an
       investment tax credit carryforward of $12,949, which is available to
       reduce future regular income taxes, if any, through 2001.

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

      All general voting power is vested in the holders of Class A common stock.
      The holders of Class B common stock are not entitled to vote at any
      stockholders' meetings. Any share of Class B common stock can be
      converted, at the option of the holder, into Class A common stock at the
      rate of one share of Class A common stock for each share of Class B common
      stock, subject to certain approvals.

      Also, any share of Class A common stock can be converted, at the option of
      the holder, into Class B common stock at the rate of one share of Class B
      common stock for each share of Class A common stock, subject to and upon
      compliance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of OCI
      Holdings Corp.

      Dividends or distributions of common stock shall be payable on shares of
      Class A and B common stock, share and share alike.

      In the event of liquidation, the holders of Class A and B common stock
      shall be entitled to share ratably in the net assets of the Company after
      payment of debts and other liabilities.

      The Corporation shall not take any action (e.g., redeem, purchase, or
      acquire) affecting outstanding shares of common stock if after giving
      effect to such action any one, as defined, stockholder would own more than
      24.95% of Class A common stock.

(11)  Preferred Stock
      ----------------

      In July 1997, the Company entered into an agreement, effective June 30,
      1997, with the Series A and B subordinated debt holders to exchange the
      notes and accrued and unpaid interest through June 30, 1997 for Series A
      preferred stock (the Debt Conversion).

      The Board of Directors has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
      par value $.01 per share, of which 300,000 shares shall be designated
      Series A (Series A Preferred Stock) and 4,700,000 shares shall be
      undesignated (Undesignated Preferred Stock). Upon the closing of the
      Public Note Offering on August 12, 1997, approximately 240,967 shares of
      Series A Preferred Stock were issued in exchange for subordinated debt and
      the related unpaid and accrued interest through June 30, 1997 totaling
      $17,290,000 and $1,332,093, respectively, resulting in a corresponding
      increase in stockholders' equity of $18,622,093. Additionally, $5,135,000
      of subordinated debt and $348,616 of unpaid and accrued interest through
      June 30, 1997 were assigned by the respective note holders to OCIH in
      exchange for all of the preferred interests of OCIH. See note 19 for pro
      forma effect of this transaction.

      As discussed in Note 10, all general voting power is vested in holders of
      Class A common stock. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be
      included in determining the number of shares entitled to vote.

(11)  Preferred Stock, Continued
      --------------------------

      No dividends will be declared or paid on the common stock during any year
      unless the full amount of accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred
      Stock has been paid. Upon declaration, the holders of the Series A
      Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative cash dividends of $10 per
      annum, per share.

      In the event of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of
      the preferred stock are entitled to receive a preferential amount equal to
      $100 per share of the issued and outstanding preferred stock and a further
      preferential amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends thereon.
      This liquidation value will be paid before the payment or distribution of
      any assets of the Company to the holders of the common stock.

(12)  Leases
      -------

      The Company leases substantially all of the land presently used as sites
      for advertising panels under various terms. The leases are classified as
      operating leases. These leases generally contain renewal options ranging
      from 1 to 15 years and require the Company to pay all executory costs,
      such as maintenance and insurance. Rental expense for operating leases
      amounted to approximately $5,825,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 and
      $931,000 for the period April 4, 1996 to June 30, 1996.

(16)  Financial Instruments
      ---------------------

      On May 30, 1996, the Company entered into three-year interest swap
      agreements, expiring on June 30, 1999, with First Union National Bank of
      North Carolina (First Union) and Chase to manage its interest rate
      exposure. Interest rate exchange transactions generally involve the
      exchange of fixed and floating-rate interest payment obligations without
      the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Entering into interest
      rate exchange agreements involves the risk of dealing with counterparties
      and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. Notional principal
      amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions. The floating
      interest rate on the interest swap agreement is based on three month U.S.
      dollar LIBOR. The Chase agreement was terminated on December 30, 1996 and
      replaced with a new three year swap agreement. The fixed-for-floating
      interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 1997 are summarized as
      follows:

      Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company paid approximately $238,000 to
      buy out the swap agreements.

(17)  Acquisitions
      ------------

      On April 30, 1996, Holdings completed the purchase of certain assets and
      assumed certain liabilities of AOA Acquisition, L.L.C. (AOA), pursuant to
      an Asset Sale Agreement dated March 19, 1996, for cash of $34,132,908. The
      acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
      and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
      purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair value at the
      date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values
      of the net assets acquired was $10,084,666 and has been recorded as
      goodwill.

      The net purchase price was allocated as follows:

(18) Initial Public Offering and New Credit Facility
     -----------------------------------------------

     On August 12, 1997, the Company completed a Public Note Offering (the
     Offering) of $105 million aggregate principle amount of 9.25% subordinated
     notes due August 15, 2007 (the Notes). Net proceeds of the Offering, after
     deduction of associated expenses, were approximately $100.3 million.
     Accrued interest on the Notes is payable in semi-annual installments on
     each February 15 and August 15, commencing February 15, 1998. The Notes are
     redeemable at the Company's option, in whole or in part, at any time on or
     after August 15, 2002 in accordance with a prepayment premium as described
     in the note agreement. Other prepayments may occur prior to August 15, 2000
     based on certain limitations as described in the note agreement.

     The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior
     subordinated basis, as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and
     interest, jointly and severally by all of the Company's direct and indirect
     subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries
     have not been presented because (a) such guarantor subsidiaries have
     jointly and severally guaranteed the notes on a full and unconditional
     basis, (b) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the
     guarantor subsidiaries are substantially equivalent to the assets,
     liabilities, earnings and equity of the parent on a consolidated basis and
     (c) that the Company has not presented separate financial statements and
     other disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors because management
     has determined that such information is not material to investors.

     The Company abandoned plans for an initial public offering of its common
     stock during July 1997. As a result, the Company will recognize expense of
     approximately $268,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998, due to the
     write off of costs incurred related to the abandoned offering.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued



(18) Initial Public Offering and New Credit Facility, Continued
     ----------------------------------------------------------

     Simultaneous to the Offering, the Company entered into a new $150 million
     senior credit facility (New Credit Facility) with The Chase Manhattan Bank
     and a syndicate consisting of various other financial institutions
     (collectively, the New Bank). The New Credit Facility consists of a
     Revolving Loan Commitment (the New Revolver) of $110 million and a Term
     Loan Commitment for $40 million (collectively the New Borrowings). The New
     Revolver matures on December 21, 2004 and the Term Loan Commitment matures
     on June 30, 2005. The New Credit Facility provides for annual reductions in
     the New Revolver and amortization of the term loan facility. Collateral
     includes a first lien on all tangible and intangible property of the
     Company, assignment of all leases, and a guaranty by OCI, OCIN, and OCIS.

     The New Credit Facility enables the Company to borrow funds at a rate equal
     to 2.25% plus LIBOR or 1.0% over the New Bank's base rate, as defined. The
     New Credit Facility also enables the Company to realize a lower interest
     rate if its leverage ratio meets certain levels as stipulated in the Credit
     Facility. At August 15, 1997, date of the initial borrowing, the interest
     rate was 9.5%. Accrued interest is payable in quarterly installments on
     March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. The Credit Facility also
     requires payment of a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum, which may be
     reduced based on the Company's leverage ratio, on the daily average
     aggregate unutilized commitment from the Bank. Accrued commitment fees are
     due quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.

     The New Credit Facility contains certain warranties and affirmative
     covenants that must be complied with on a continuing basis. In addition,
     the New Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants which, among
     other things, restrict the Company from incurring additional debt and liens
     on assets, limits the amount of capital expenditures during any fiscal
     year, and prohibits the consolidation, merger or sale of assets, or
     issuance of common stock except as permitted by the New Credit Facility.
     The New Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain certain
     financial ratios.

     Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Subsidiary Guarantors are
     restricted in their ability to make distributions to the Company to
     distributions necessary to enable the Company to make interest payments due
     under the Credit Facility and make federal income tax payments. The
     Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any of
     the Subsidiary Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
     cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or
     restriction of any kind on the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantors to make
     distributions to the Company with certain limited exceptions including the
     restrictions under the Credit Facility described in the preceding sentence.

     Initial borrowings under the New Credit Facility totaled $16.5 million,
     which were drawn from the New Revolver. The Company has the right to prepay
     the Borrowings in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, as
     stipulated in the New Credit Facility. See note 19 for proforma effects of
     the above transactions.
