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, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. 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,
1999 and notes thereto included in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 2
FINANCINGS
The Company has $100 million aggregate principal 11% Notes (the
"Notes") outstanding. The Company entered into an amended and restated loan
agreement ("The Agreement") to the original credit agreement ("Credit
Agreement") with The First National Bank of Chicago originally dated September
20, 1998 on August 12, 1999 and further amended on August 14, 2000. The
Agreement consists of a term loan for $10 million and a revolving credit of $10
million. All of the company's assets are pledged to secure this credit facility.
This facility matures July 1, 2001.
Annual interest payments on the Notes are $11.0 million and with other
debt outstanding annual interest expense is currently running at approximately
$13.7 million. Substantially all of the Company's cash flow will have to be
devoted to interest payments on the 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.

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
references to assumptions. These statements are contained in certain sections of
this Quarterly Report and in the documents incorporated by reference herein.
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, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1999
Net revenues. Net revenues increased 16% to $7.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The assets acquired in October 1999 accounted for approximately $.6 million of
the period-to-period revenue growth.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses (which include sales, lease
and production expenses) increased 13.4% to $2.6 million for the second quarter
of 2000 from $2.3 million for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was
primarily the result of the increase in sales expense. Sales expense increased
as a percentage of net revenues from 8.2% in the second quarter of 1999 to 9.4%
in 2000. The Company has increased the quantity and quality of its sales force
to support future growth. Lease expense increased as a percentage of net
revenues in the second quarter from 15.1% in 1999 to 16.3% in 2000. This
increase is due to the higher lease cost on the assets acquired in October 1999.
Production expense decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 11.6% in the
second quarter of 1999 to 8.4% in 2000, due to a shift in sales mix and lower
sign maintenance cost.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by 18.8% to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $1.0
million in 1999, an increase as a percentage of net revenues to 15.4% from 14.9%
primarily due to increased professional fees, and higher levels of travel.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $2.2 million
in 1999. The increase is due primarily to the assets acquired in October 1999.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $3.4 million for the second
quarter ended 2000 from $3.1 million for the comparable period in 2000. This
increases was due primarily to an increase in interest rates and the amount
outstanding with Bank One.
<PAGE> 9
Income taxes. At December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry
forwards of approximately $34.6 million for federal and state income tax
purposes, which expire in varying amounts from 2009 through 2018.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $1.1 million on deferred tax assets. At June 30, 2000, the total
valuation allowance recorded aggregated $7.6 million on deferred tax assets of
$13.8 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, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Net revenues. Net revenues increased 16% to $15.2 million for the six months
ended June 30,2000 from $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Most of this increase was the result of the acquisition completed in October
1999. These acquisitions accounted for approximately $1.3 million of the
period-to-period revenue growth.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses (which include sales, lease
and production expenses) increased 16.7% to $5.3 million for the first six
months of 2000 from $4.6 million for the comparable period in 1999. Sales
expense increased as a percentage of net revenues from 8.3% in the first six
months of 1999 to 9.6% in 2000 due to an increase in sales personnel. Lease
expense increased as a percentage of net revenues from 15.0% in the first six
months of 1999 to 15.6% in 2000 primarily due to assets acquired in October
1999. Production expense decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 11.7% in
the first six months of 1999 to 9.9% in 2000, primarily due a shift in sales mix
and lower sign maintenance expense.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by 18.5% to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
$2.1 million in 1999, an increase as a percentage of net revenues to 16.4% from
16.0% due primarily to professional fees and higher levels of travel.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $4.4
million in 1999 due primarily to the assets acquired in October 1999.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $6.8 million for the six months
ended 2000 from $6.2 million for the comparable period in 1999. This increase
was primarily the result in interest rates and the amount outstanding with Bank
One.
Income taxes. At December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry
forwards of approximately $34.6 million for federal and state income tax
purposes, which expire in varying amounts from 2009 through 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $2.2 million on deferred tax assets. At June 30, 2000 the total
valuation allowance recorded aggregated $7.6 million on deferred tax assets of
$13.8 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has historically satisfied its cash requirements with cash from
operations, revolving credit borrowings, other long-term debt financing, equity
financing and sales of assets. Its acquisitions have been financed primarily
with borrowed funds and equity financing.
The Company has $100 million aggregate principal 11% Notes (the "Notes")
outstanding. The Company entered into an amended and restated loan agreement
("The Agreement") to the original credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with The
First National Bank of Chicago originally dated September 20, 1998 on August 12,
1999 and further amended on August 14, 2000. The Agreement consists of a term
loan for $10 million and a revolving credit of $10 million. All of the company's
assets are pledged to secure this credit facility. This facility matures July 1,
2001.
On August 14 , 2000, the Credit Agreement was amended to revise the maturity
date of the facilities from December 31,2005 to July 1,2001, and to amend
certain financial covenants. Furthermore, the Credit Agreement was amended to
provide that the Company will be in default under the Credit Agreement if any of
the following defaults occur: (1) the Company shall fail to timely pay a
$200,000 fee to the Bank, or (2) SGH fails to deliver to the Bank on or before
October 6, 2000 a certain warrant to purchase common stock of SGH representing
0.85% of the fully diluted common stock of SGH, or (3) SGH fails to make a
contribution to the capital of the company (not to exceed $1,000,000) under a
certain Capital Call Agreement dated August 14, 2000 executed by SGH and the
stockholders of SGH (which Capital Call Agreement requires such contribution to
the capital of the Company in the event of a monetary default under the Credit
Agreement). The Company is seeking to arrange a refinancing of the Credit
Agreement on or before December 31, 2000. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to refinance such loan.
Net cash provided in operating activities was $1.8 million for the first six
months of 2000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.3 million
for the first six months of 1999. 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 working capital of $2.5 million as
of June 30, 2000, compared to working capital of $3.5 million as of December 31,
1999.
Annual interest payments on the Notes are $11.0 million and with other debt
outstanding annual interest expense is currently running at approximately $13.7
million. Substantially all of the Company's cash flow will have to be devoted to
interest payments on the 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 Notes
of the Credit Agreement would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
