                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

    NOTE 1
    BASIS OF REPRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Tri-State Outdoor Media
Group, Inc., (the "Company") have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X as they apply to interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position
and results of operations have been included. The operating results for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. Although
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998 and notes thereto included in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 incorporated by reference herein.

NOTE 2
FINANCINGS

     The Company entered into an amendment to the original credit agreement
("Credit Agreement") with The First National Bank of Chicago originally dated
September 20, 1998 on March 1, 1999. The amended Credit Agreement consists of a
Term Loan A Facility for $14 million and a Revolving Note C Facility for $4
million ("Revolver") with The First Bank of Chicago. The outstanding balances of
advances (as defined therein) made under Facility A and Facility C are payable
in full on September 30, 2000. Proceeds from the Credit Agreement were used to
finance the acquisition of Western Outdoor. Also, SGH Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings"), the Company's parent, will be required to issue warrants for 5% of
Holdings' common stock if the loan is not repaid by September 30, 1999. The
exercise price of the warrants will be nominal. The credit agreement is
collateralized by a first perfected security interest in all of the assets of
the Company as well as by a pledge from Holdings of its stock in the Company.

     An Amended and Restated Loan Agreement ("The Agreement") was executed on
August 12, 1999 which consists of a term loan for $10 million and a revolving
credit of $10 million of which $2 million is restricted for payment of interest.
The Agreement provides for among other things the return of all warrants to the
company and no principle payment until January 1, 2001.

         All terms and conditions of The Agreement are effective except the
increase in availability from $16 million to $20 million that is contingent upon
the raising of $4 million in equity. The Company expects a commitment and
funding of the additional equity in the near future.

         The Company was required to escrow one year of interest payments with
the net proceeds of the Senior Notes. Following the disbursement of the funds in
the escrow account in May 1999, the Company must begin providing for the payment
of interest from the Company's cash flow or borrowings, if available, beginning
with the November 15, 1999 Senior Notes interest payment in the amount of $5.5
million. Annual interest payments on the Senior Notes are $11.0 million.
Substantially all of the Company's cash flow will have to be devoted to interest
payments on the Senior Notes and to its credit facility. There can be no
assurance that the cash flow will be

<PAGE>   8
sufficient for such purpose, or if borrowings are necessary, that the Company
will be able to borrow funds sufficient for its purposes. Failure to make the
interest payments on the Senior Notes of the Credit Agreement would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

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

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
concerning, among other things, the Company's expected future revenues,
operations and expenditures, competitors or potential competitors, acquisition
activity, and the regulation of the outdoor advertising industry. These
forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such
as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intent," "may,"
"plan," "predict," "project," "will" and similar terms and phrases, including

These forward-looking statements represent the expectations of the Company's
management as of the filing date of this Report on Form 10-Q. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the
forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including (i) risks and
uncertainties relating to leverage; (ii) the need for additional funds; (iii)
the integration of companies acquired by the Company and the Company's ability
to recognize cost savings or operating efficiencies as a result of such
acquisitions; (iv) the continued popularity of outdoor advertising as an
advertising medium; (v) the regulation of the outdoor advertising industry and
(vi) the risks and uncertainties described under the caption "Factors Affecting
Future Operating Results" under Item 7. - Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 incorporated by

months ended June 30, 1999 from $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Most of this increase was the result of the acquisition of Western Outdoor
Advertising Co. ("Western"), completed in September 1998. This acquisition
accounted for approximately $1.1 million of the period-to-period revenue growth.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses (which include sales, lease
and production expenses) increased 21.1% to $2.3 million for the second quarter
of 1999 from $1.9 million for the comparable period in 1998. Most of this
increase was the result of the Western acquisition, completed in September 1998.
Sales expense decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 9.1% in the second
quarter of 1998 to 8.2% in 1999 due to operating leverage. Lease expense
increased as a percentage of net revenues from 14.1% in the second quarter of
1998 to 15.1% in 1999, primarily due to the addition of lease personnel.
Production expense decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 13.3% in the
second quarter of 1998 to 11.6% in 1999, due a shift in sales mix towards
longer-term contracts.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by 40.2% to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from
$746,000 in 1998, an increase as a percentage of net revenues to 15.6% from
14.4% primarily due to the Western acquisition.

 Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense
remained flat at $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from $2.2
million in 1998.

  Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $3.1 million for the quarter
ended 1999 from $2.5 million for the comparable period in 1998. This increase
was primarily the result of additional debt incurred in connection with the
financing of the Western acquisition, as well as the issuance of the Senior
Notes (as defined herein) in May 1998.

Income taxes. At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carry
forwards of approximately $20.3 million for federal and state income tax
purposes, which expire in varying amounts from 2009 through 2018.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $782,000 on deferred tax assets. At June 30,1999 the total
valuation allowance recorded aggregated $3.1 million on deferred tax assets of
$9.3 million to reduce the total to an amount that management believes will more
likely than not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible
temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be available to reduce
taxable income. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient taxable income
in the future, increases in the valuation allowance may be required through a
charge to income tax expense.


    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
    1998

     Net revenues. Net revenues increased 39.0% to $13.1 million for the six
months ended June 30,1999 from $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998. Most of this increase was the result of the acquisition of Unisign,
completed in March 1998 and Western, completed in September 1998. These
acquisitions accounted for approximately $2.9 million of the period-to-period
revenue growth.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses (which include sales, lease
and production expenses) increased 43.8% to $4.6 million for the first six
months of 1999 from $3.2 million for the comparable period in 1998. Most of this
increase was the result of the acquisition of Unisign, completed in March 1998
and Western, completed in September 1998. Sales expense increased as a
percentage of net revenues from 7.5% in the first six months of 1998 to 8.3% in
1999 due to an increase in sales personnel from 33 in 1998 to over 50 at the end
of June 1999. Lease expense increased as a percentage of net revenues from 14.8%
in the first six months of 1998 to 15.0% in 1999 primarily due to the addition
of lease personnel. Production expense increased as a percentage of net revenues
from 11.4% in the first six months of 1998 to 11.7% in 1999, primarily due to
higher sign maintenance expense.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by 44.6% to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from
$1.5 million in 1998, an increase as a percentage of net revenues to 16.2% from
15.6% due primarily to the Unisign and Western acquisitions.

 Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $4.0
million in 1998 due primarily to the Unisign and Western acquisitions.

 Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $6.2 million for the six months
ended 1999 from $4.2 million for the comparable period in 1998. This increase
was primarily the result of additional debt incurred in connection with the
financing of the Unisign and Western acquisitions, as well as the issuance of
the Senior Notes (as defined herein) in May 1998.

purposes, which expire in varying amounts from 2009 through 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $1.6 million on deferred tax assets. At June 30,1999 the total
valuation allowance recorded aggregated $3.1 million on deferred tax assets of
$9.3 million to reduce the total to an amount that management believes will more

in the future, increases in the valuation allowance may be required through a

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically satisfied its cash requirements with cash from
operations, revolving credit borrowings and other long-term debt financing and
sales of assets. Its acquisitions have been financed primarily with borrowed
funds.

On May 20, 1998, the Company sold $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
11% Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes"), and received net proceeds, after
underwriting discounts, of $95.3 million. The Company used a portion of the
proceeds of the Senior Notes to repay all borrowings and accrued interest under
its existing credit facility, which totaled $57.4 million, whereupon that
facility was terminated. The Company also used the proceeds of the Senior Notes
to repay the $10.0 million loan, plus $232,000 of accrued interest, from
Holdings. Additionally, in conjunction with the sale of the Senior Notes, $16.1
million of subordinated intercompany promissory notes including accrued interest
of $3.2 million thereon due to Holdings were converted into stockholder's
equity.

The Company, as of June 30,1999, had $14.9 million of borrowings outstanding
under its credit facility. The Company used the proceeds from the credit
facility to pay a portion of the acquisition of Western.

On August 12, 1999, the Credit Agreement was amended to revise certain payment
dates and amounts, financial reporting requirements, restrictions on sale and
leaseback transactions, and financial covenants. The current availability under
the Credit Agreement is $16 million and upon the infusion of $4 million of
equity would be $20 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was ($2.3) million for the first six
months of 1999 from ($151,000) for the first six months of 1998. Net cash
provided by operating activities reflects the Company's net loss adjusted for
non-cash items and net changes in working capital components. The Company had a
working capital deficit of ($2.8) million as of June 30, 1999, compared to
working capital of $4.2 million as of December 31, 1998. Under The Agreement
there is no current portion of long-term debt. Working capital consistent with
The Agreement would have been $3.7 million as of June 30, 1999.

<PAGE>   11
The Company was required to escrow one year of interest payments with the net
proceeds of the Senior Notes. The Company must begin providing for the payment
of interest from the Company's cash flow or borrowings, if available, to make
the November 15, 1999 Senior Notes interest payment in the amount of $5.5
million. Annual interest payments on the Senior Notes are $11.0 million.
Substantially all of the Company's cash flow will have to be devoted to interest
payments on the Senior Notes and to its credit facility. There can be no
assurance that the cash flow will be sufficient for such purpose, or if
borrowings are necessary, that the Company will be able to borrow funds
sufficient for its purposes. Failure to make the interest payments on the Senior
Notes of the Credit Agreement would have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

 Failure of Computer Systems to Recognize Year 2000

         Many currently installed computer systems are not capable of
distinguishing 21st century dates from 20th century dates because they were
programmed using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable
year. As a result, at the turn of this century, computer systems and software
used by many companies and organizations in a wide variety of industries will
experience operating difficulties unless they are adequately modified or
upgraded to process information related to the century change. This could result
in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
collect revenues or engage in similar normal business activities.

         The Company recognizes the need to ensure that its operations will not
be adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. The Company therefore,
believes it has identified all significant internal information technology
systems ("IT Systems"). Internal and external resources were utilized to make
the required modifications and test Year 2000 compliance for these IT Systems as
well as non-IT Systems (i.e., telephone, security, etc.). The Company believes
it has achieved Year 2000 compliance readiness for its IT and non-IT Systems.

         In addition, the Company has communicated with others with whom it does
significant business, primarily banks and suppliers of electricity, to determine
their Year 2000 compliance readiness and the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to any third party Year 2000 issues. There can be no guarantee that
the systems of other companies on which the Company relies will be timely
converted, or that a failure to convert by another company would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

         Based on the results of its review of the Year 2000 issues to date, the
Company does not believe that a contingency plan to handle the Year 2000 problem
is necessary at this time and has not developed such a plan. The Company will,
however, continue to monitor the Year 2000 compliance program and evaluate the
need for a contingency plan to handle the most reasonably likely worst case Year
2000 scenarios which might result in a disruption in service from suppliers in a
few isolated places.
