AOA HOLDING LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES (Note 3)
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
(1) The Limited Liability Corporation
Organization
AOA Holding LLC ("AOA Holding" or the "Company") was incorporated on May 4,
1999, as a Minnesota limited liability company. AOA Holding was formed to
acquire the direct individual interests of Stephen Adams in Adams Outdoor
Advertising Limited Partnership ("Adams Partnership" or "the Partnership") and
Adams Outdoor Advertising Inc. ("Adams Inc.") and to serve as a co-issuer of the
10 3/8% Senior Notes due 2006 (the "Parent Senior Notes") (Note 2). AOA
Holding's assets consist of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Adams Inc.,
a 0.70% general partnership interest and a 68.3% limited partnership interest in
Adams Partnership. Mr. Adams is the sole member of AOA Holding and all
operations are conducted through Adams Partnership.
AOA Capital Corp. ("AOA Capital"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AOA Holding, was
incorporated on May 4, 1999 for the sole purpose of serving as co-issuer of the
Parent Senior Notes.
(2) Offering
In May 1999, following the organization, AOA Holding and its 100% owned
subsidiary, AOA Capital issued $50 million of Parent Senior Notes. The net
proceeds from the offering were used by AOA Holding (i) to make a $32.5 million
distribution to its sole member, (ii) to repay $13.25 million of indebtedness of
Adams Partnership, and (iii) to make a $2.5 million allocation to the Adams
Partnership minority limited partners.
The Parent Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of AOA Holding and its 100%
owned subsidiary, AOA Capital. The Parent Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2006
and bear interest at 10 3/8%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on
March 15 and September 15, commencing September 15, 1999.
The Parent Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or
in part after June 1, 2003 at the following redemption prices (expressed as
percentage of principal amount), together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid
interest to the redemption date; 105.188% in 2003, 102.594% in 2004 and 100.00%
in 2005 and thereafter. The Company may also redeem the Parent Senior Notes in
whole but not in part at any time during the nine-month period beginning on
April 15, 2001 at 100% of the aggregate principal plus accrued and unpaid
interest in the event of a concurrent redemption by Adams Partnership of its
outstanding notes.
The Indenture contains, among other things, covenants restricting the ability of
the Company to incur additional indebtedness, make certain distributions, make
certain investments, change the status of company subsidiaries, create liens,
enter into transactions with affiliates, dispose of assets, enter into sale-
leaseback transactions, make payments for consents, and enter into additional
lines of business.
In connection with the reorganization, the Adams Partnership agreement was
amended to provide that the limited partnership interest of AOA Holding become a
"priority" interest whereby all limited partner
5
<PAGE>
distributions (other than permitted tax distributions) will be made only to AOA
Holding until the notes are paid in full. In recognition of the change in the
partnership agreement, the Company paid to the minority limited partners
approximately $2.5 million.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by AOA Holding in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore
do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation
of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring accruals
necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented
have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been considered or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that
these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
predecessor companies, Adams Inc.'s and Adams Partnership's, Annual reports on
Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to
conform with the current year presentation.
The transfer of ownership of Adams Inc. and Adams Partnership to AOA Holding has
been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control similar
to a pooling of interests. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements of
AOA Holding for the periods prior to its formation include the accounts of Adams
Inc. and Adams Partnership, the predecessor companies, and for the periods
subsequent to its formation, the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
(4) Acquisitions
On March 9, 2000, two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Partnership
together acquired all of the outstanding stock of HSP Graphics, a company with
which the Partnership has been doing business for a number of years. The total
purchase price was $21.0 million. Approximately $21.4 million of goodwill was
recorded as a result of this purchase, which will be amortized over a period of
20 years. The acquisition was financed by issuing Notes Payable to the former
owners, which are payable over a 1 year period.
On June 28, 2000, the Partnership acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Horizon Outdoor, an outdoor advertising company in Charlotte, NC, for $15.5
million in cash at closing and $1.5 million in cash to be paid over the next 18
months. Approximately $14.2 million of goodwill was generated as a result of
this purchse, which will be amortized over a period of 20 years. The acquisition
was financed by borrowing against the Partnership's revolving line of credit.
The above purchase price allocations under Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations", were based on preliminary information.
Subsequent adjustments may be made.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are "forward-
looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability
established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the
context of the statement will include forward-looking terminology such as
"believes," "anticipates," "expects," "would," "estimate," "continue," or the
negative thereof or variations thereon or comparable terminology. Similarly,
statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals are
also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated as of the date of this report. Certain of
such risks and uncertainties are described in close proximity to such forward-
looking statements. Other factors that could effect such results, performance
or achievement are set forth in "Risk Factors" in Amendment No. 3 to the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-03338) as
updated by the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999 including those risks to the Company presented by financial leverage,
government regulation with respect to zoning, restrictions on outdoor
advertising by the tobacco industry, competition and general economic
conditions.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended June 30, 2000 Compared With Quarter Ended June 30, 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Net revenues (gross revenues net of agency commissions) for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 of $21.6 million increased by 22.7% from $17.6 million for the
comparable period in 1999. This increase resulted from higher advertising rates
and an increase in the number of displays sold, as well as revenues generated by
HSP Graphics.
Direct advertising expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 of $10.5 million
increased by 26.4% from $8.3 million for the comparable period in 1999. The
increase was attributable to direct costs associated with increased sales from
new displays and an increase in sales commissions due to higher average rates,
as well as direct advertising expenses generated by HSP Graphics.
Corporate general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 of $870,000 increased by 23.6% from $704,000 for the comparable period in
1999. This increase was attributable to an increase in travel expenses and
corporate taxes, as well as the monthly dues paid to the Outdoor Advertising
Association of America, which were expensed at the plant level during the second
quarter of 1999.
Depreciation and amortization for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 of $1.8
million decreased by 6.4 % from $1.9 million for the comparable period in 1999.
Depreciation expense decreased due to structures which became fully depreciated
at the end of 1999.
Deferred compensation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 of $360,000
decreased by 29.4% from $510,000 for the comparable period in 1999.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 of $5.4 million increased
by 34.9% from $4.0 million for the second quarter of 1999. For the quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the
7
<PAGE>
effective interest rates were 10.1% and 10.2%, respectively, on average
outstanding balances of $200.2 million and $151.9 million, respectively.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased to $2.6 million from a
net loss of $287,000 for the comparable period in 1999 as a result of the items
discussed above.
Operating Cash Flow is defined as operating income (loss) before (i)
depreciation and amortization expenses and (ii) deferred compensation expense.
As a partnership, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax.
Operating Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating
activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not
be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or to net cash provided by operating, investing
and financing activities as a measure of liquidity or ability to meet cash
needs. The Company believes Operating Cash Flow is a measure commonly reported
and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the media
industry. Accordingly, this information is disclosed herein to permit a more
complete comparative analysis of the Company's performance relative to other
companies in the media industry. Operating Cash Flow for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 of $10.2 million increased by 19.0% from $8.6 million for the
comparable period in 1999.
Results of Operations
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net revenues (gross revenues net of agency commissions) for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 of $37.5 million increased by 14.8% from $32.7 million for the
comparable period in 1999. This increase resulted from higher advertising rates
and an increase in the number of displays sold, as well as revenues generated by
HSP Graphics since the purchase date.
Direct advertising expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $19.0
million increased by 16.6% from $16.3 million for the comparable period in 1999.
The increase was attributable to direct costs associated with increased sales
from new displays and an increase in sales commissions due to higher average
rates, as well as direct advertising expenses generated by HSP Graphics since
the purchase date.
Corporate general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2000 of $1.6 million increased by 21.3% from $1.3 million for the comparable
period in 1999. This increase was attributable to an increase in travel
expenses and corporate taxes, as well as the monthly dues paid to the Outdoor
Advertising Association of America, which were expensed at the plant level
during the first six months of 1999.
Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $3.5
million decreased by 8.1% from $3.8 million for the comparable period in 1999.
Depreciation expense decreased due to structures which became fully depreciated
at the end of 1999.
Deferred compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $720,000
decreased by 17.2% from $870,000 for the comparable period in 1999.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $10.0 million
increased by 35.4% from $7.4 million for the comparable period in 1999. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the effective interest rates
were 10.2% and 10.0%, respectively, on average outstanding balances of $188.3
million and $143.9 million, respectively.
8
<PAGE>
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased to $2.6 million from
$528,000 for the comparable period in 1999 as a result of the items discussed
above.
Operating Cash Flow is defined as operating income (loss) before (i)
depreciation and amortization expenses and (ii) deferred compensation expense.
As a partnership, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax.
Operating Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating
activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not
be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or to net cash provided by operating, investing
and financing activities as a measure of liquidity or ability to meet cash
needs. The Company believes Operating Cash Flow is a measure commonly reported
and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the media
industry. Accordingly, this information is disclosed herein to permit a more
complete comparative analysis of the Company's performance relative to other
companies in the media industry. Operating Cash Flow for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 of $16.9 million increased by 12.2% from $15.1 million for the
comparable period in 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In 1996 the Company's subsidiaries, Adams Outdoor Advertising Limited
Partnership, together with Adams Outdoor Advertising Inc. placed $105 million of
their 10 3/4% Senior Notes due 2006 issued under an indenture and entered into a
Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility). As part of the Refinancing,
substantially all of the Company's outstanding debt was refinanced. As a result
of the Refinancing, the average maturities of the Company's debt were extended
to 2006. In May 1999, AOA Holding, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary,
AOA Capital, placed $50 million of Senior Notes at 10 3/8% due 2006 issued under
an indenture.
Historically, the Company's cash needs have arisen from operating expenses
(primarily direct advertising expenses and corporate general and administrative
expenses), debt service, capital expenditures and deferred compensation payments
under phantom stock agreements. As a result of the Refinancing, the Company's
interest expense has increased due to the higher weighted average interest rate.
The Company's primary sources of cash are net cash generated from operating
activities and borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company's net cash
provided by operations increased significantly to $490,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from $23,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
primarily as a result of payments made to the Adams Outdoor Advertising Limited
Partnership minority limited partners.
The Company expects that its capital expenditures during 2000 will be
approximately $11.0 million and will be primarily for new billboard construction
and the upgrading of existing displays. The Company made capital expenditures of
$6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $4.9 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1999.
At June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company's accrued liability for
deferred compensation payable under phantom stock agreements with key employees
was $3.8 million in the aggregate. The Credit Facility and the Indenture permit
the payment of the deferred compensation when due, subject to certain annual
limitations. Such payments are scheduled to be paid during the 1998 through
2002 period. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, payments of deferred
compensation totaled $730,000.
The Company has revolving credit facilities of up to $65 million, $35 million
secured and $30 million unsecured. At June 30, 2000, the outstanding borrowings
were $56.8 million. Substantially all of the
9
<PAGE>
assets of the Company are pledged to secure indebtedness under the secured
credit facility. The agreement governing the secured credit facility contains a
number of covenants that are more restrictive than those contained in the
Indenture, including covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios that become more restrictive over time. Adverse operating
results could cause noncompliance with one or more of these covenants, reducing
the Company's borrowing availability and, in certain circumstances, entitling
the lenders to accelerate the maturity of outstanding borrowings.
The Company believes that net cash provided from operations and available credit
under its credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its cash needs for its
current operations, required debt payments, anticipated capital expenditures and
deferred compensation payments for the next twelve months.
Acquisitions
On March 9, 2000, two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Partnership
together acquired all of the outstanding stock of HSP Graphics, a company with
which the Partnership has been doing business for a number of years. The total
purchase price was $21.0 million. Approximately $21.4 million of goodwill was
recorded as a result of this purchase, which will be amortized over a period of
20 years. The acquisition was financed by issuing Notes Payable to the former
owners, which are payable over a 1 year period.
On June 28, 2000, the Partnership acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Horizon Outdoor, an outdoor advertising company in Charlotte, NC, for $15.5
million in cash at closing and $1.5 million in cash to be paid over the next 18
months. Approximately $14.2 million of goodwill was generated as a result of
this purchse, which will be amortized over a period of 20 years. The acquisition
was financed by borrowing against the Partnership's revolving line of credit.
The above purchase price allocations under Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations", were based on preliminary information.
Subsequent adjustments may be made.
Impact of Inflation
Though increases in operating costs could adversely affect the Company's
operations, management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect
on operating profit during the past several years.
Seasonality
Although revenues during the first and fourth quarter are slightly lower than
the other quarters, management does not believe that seasonality has a
significant impact on the operations or cash flow of the Company.
Information contained in this 10-Q including, without limitation, in the
foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations may contain "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology as "may," "will," "would,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," or "continue" or the negative thereof or
other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Certain factors, including
financial leverage, government regulation with respect to zoning and

Year 2000 Compliance
Overview
The "Year 2000 issue" has had no significant effect on the Company, and the
Company does not believe that a significant future impact is likely.
New Accounting Standards
In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In July 1999, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 - An Amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133. This statement delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133
for one year and is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2001. This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability
measured at its fair value. The statement requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company has not yet quantified the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 and has not determined the timing or method of
its adoption, however it is not expected that adoption will have a material
impact on earnings.
