1.       Significant Accounting Policies

         General

Lamar Advertising Company is principally a holding company ("Holdings") and
conducts its operations principally through its wholly-owned subsidiary Lamar
Media Corp. ("Lamar Media"). Holdings was incorporated in July, 1999 and became
the parent of Lamar Media pursuant to the reorganization described in Note 5.
References herein to the "Company" refer to Holdings and its subsidiaries, with
respect to periods following the reorganization and to Lamar Media, (formerly
known as Lamar Advertising Company) and its subsidiaries, with respect to
periods prior to the reorganization. Prior to the formation of Holdings, the
consolidated financial statements of the Company represented accounts of Lamar
Media and its subsidiaries.

The information included in the foregoing interim 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 Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." The calculations of basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock
that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following adjustments were
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of their
anti-dilutive effect:

         Reclassifications

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

         New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities. SOP 98-5 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998, and requires that the costs of start-up
activities, including organizational costs, be expensed as incurred. The effect
of SOP 98-5 is recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 "Accounting
Changes".

2.       Acquisitions

On January 5, 1999, the Company purchased all of the outdoor advertising assets
of American Displays, Inc. for a cash purchase price of approximately $14,500.

On February 1, 1999, the Company purchased all of the outdoor advertising assets
of KJS, LLC for a cash purchase price of $40,500.

Corporation, ("Chancellor Outdoor") for a combination of approximately $700,000
in cash and 26,227,273 shares of Class A common stock valued at approximately
$947,000. The stock purchase agreement also contains a post-closing adjustment
in the event that the net working capital of Chancellor Outdoor as shown on the
closing balance sheet is greater or less than $12,000. As of September 30, 1999,
the estimated working capital adjustment to be paid by the Company is $33,053.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the company completed 45
additional acquisitions of outdoor advertising and transit assets for an
aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $61,000 and the issuance of
135,734 shares of Class A common stock valued at approximately $5,300.

3.       Long-term debt

In August 1999, the Company replaced its existing bank credit facility with a
new bank credit facility under which The Chase Manhattan Bank serves as
administrative agent. The new $1,000,000 bank credit facility consists of (1) a
$350,000 revolving bank credit facility and (2) a $650,000 term facility with
two tranches, a $450,000 Term A facility and a $200,000 Term B facility. As a
result of the holding company reorganization completed on July 20, 1999 and
explained in footnote 5, the existing bank credit facility and the new bank
credit facility are obligations of Lamar Media Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary,
and not Lamar Advertising Company. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had
borrowings under this agreement of $757,000.

On August 10, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company, the new holding company,
completed an offering of $287,500 5 1/4% Convertible Notes due 2006. The net
proceeds of approximately $279,594 of the convertible notes were used to pay
down existing bank debt.

In connection with the reorganization of Lamar Advertising Company into a new
holding company structure, Lamar Media Corp. (formerly known as Lamar
Advertising Company) made a change of control tender offer to the holders of its
9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 in aggregate principal amount of
approximately $103,900. Pursuant to the change of control tender offer and in
accordance with the Indenture, Lamar Media Corp. offered to repurchase the Notes
for 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. A total of $29,876
aggregate principal amount of Notes were tendered for payment on August 19,
1999, and the related 1% prepayment penalty is reflected as an extraordinary
item in the Company's income statement, net of tax.

The Company's obligations with respect to its publicly issued notes are not
guaranteed by the Company's direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Certain obligations of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp.
are guaranteed by its subsidiaries. For a detailed description of these
guarantees see Lamar Media Corp.'s quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

4.       Preferred Stock

On July 16, 1999, the Board of Directors amended the Preferred Stock of the
Company by designating 5,720 shares of the 1,000,000 shares of previously
undesignated Preferred Stock, par value $.001 as "Series AA Preferred Stock".
The previously issued Class A Preferred Stock par value $638 was exchanged for
the new Series AA Preferred Stock. The new Series AA Preferred Stock have the
same liquidation preferences, dividends and other rights as the previously
issued Class A Preferred Stock. The new shares of Series AA Preferred Stock,
however, are entitled to one vote per share.

5.       New Holding Company

On July 20, 1999, the Company reorganized into a new holding company structure.
As a result of this reorganization (1) the former Lamar Advertising Company
became a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company, (2) the name
of the former Lamar Advertising Company was changed to Lamar Media Corp., (3)
the name of the new holding company became Lamar Advertising Company, (4) the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the former Lamar Advertising Company,
including the Class A common

stock, were automatically converted, on a share for share basis, into identical
shares of capital stock of the new holding company and (5) the Class A common
stock of the new holding company commenced trading on the Nasdaq National Market
under the symbol "LAMR" instead of the Class A common stock of the former Lamar
Advertising Company. In addition, following the holding company reorganization,
substantially all of the former Lamar Advertising Company's debt obligations,
including the bank credit facility and other long-term debt remained the
obligations of Lamar Media Corp. Under Delaware law, the reorganization did not
require the approval of the stockholders of the former Lamar Advertising
Company. The purpose of the reorganization was to provide Lamar Advertising
Company with a more flexible capital structure and to enhance its financing
options. The business operations of the former Lamar Advertising Company and its
subsidiaries will not change as a result of the reorganization.
