ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the three fiscal years ended October
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 as compared to the same period for the prior year.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and the related notes included elsewhere in this
document.  References herein to specific years refer to the Company's fiscal
year ending on October 31 of such years.

OVERVIEW

The Company's net revenues, which represent gross revenues less commissions
paid to advertising agencies that contract for the use of advertising displays
on behalf of advertisers, are derived primarily from the sale of advertising on
outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company.  In recent
years, the Company's logo sign business has expanded rapidly and may in the
future have an increasing impact on the Company's revenues and operating
income.

The Company has grown significantly during the last three years, primarily as
the result of (i) internal growth in its existing outdoor advertising business
resulting from construction of additional outdoor advertising displays, general
improvements in occupancy and operating efficiency and increases in advertising
rates, (ii) acquisitions of outdoor advertising businesses and structures, the
most significant of which was the Company's acquisition of the 50.6% interest
that it did not already own in Lamar Holdings Corporation ("LHC") in 1994, and
(iii) the rapid expansion of the Company's logo sign business.  The Company's
net advertising revenues increased by $36.4 million, representing a compound
annual growth rate of 24.8%, from $65.4 million for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1993 to $101.9 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995.
During the same period, operating cash flow increased $17.8 million,
representing a compound annual growth rate of 32.9%, from $23.2 million for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1993 to $41.0 million for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1995.

The Company plans to continue a strategy of expanding through both internal
growth and acquisitions.  As a result of acquisitions, principally the LHC
acquisition, the purchase of displays in existing markets to increase market
penetration and the effects of consolidation of operations following each
acquisition, the operating performance of certain markets and of the Company as
a whole are not necessarily comparable on a year-to-year basis.  All recent
acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and, consequently, operating results from acquired operations are included from
the respective dates of these acquisitions.

The Company relies on sales of advertising space for its revenues, and its
operating results are therefore affected by the general economic conditions, as
well as trends in the advertising industry.  The Company believes that in
recent years outdoor advertising expenditures have increased more rapidly than
total U.S. advertising expenditures, but there can be no assurance that this
trend will continue or that in the future outdoor advertising will not grow
more slowly than the advertising industry as a whole.
<PAGE>   4
Manufacturers of tobacco products, primarily cigarettes, were historically
major users of outdoor advertising displays.  Due to societal and governmental
pressures and other factors, in the early 1990's, leading tobacco manufacturers
substantially reduced their domestic advertising expenditures.  The Company's
tobacco revenues, as a percentage of total net revenues, declined from 17% in
fiscal 1991 to 12% in fiscal 1992, 7% in fiscal 1993 and 1994 and 9% in fiscal
1995.  During this period, the Company has replaced the reduced tobacco
advertising by diversifying its customer base and increasing sales to local
advertisers.

Growth of the Company's business requires significant capital expenditures to
finance internal growth, acquisitions and the up-front costs associated with
new logo sign franchises.  The Company expended $7.6 million on capital
expenditures in fiscal 1993, $13.4 million in fiscal year 1994 and $14.0
million in fiscal 1995.  Of these amounts, $2.0 million, $2.8 million and $1.6
million, respectively, were attributable to the logo sign business.  See
"-Liquidity and Capital Resources."

In the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company recognized an
income tax benefit from a net operating loss carryforward.  The benefit of the
Company's net operating loss carryforward was fully recognized as of October
31, 1995.

The following table presents certain items in the Consolidated Statements of
Earnings (Loss) as a percentage of net revenues for the years ended October 31,
1995, 1994, and 1993.

YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1994

Net revenues increased $17.9 million or 21.2% to $102.4 million for the twelve
months ended October 31, 1995 from $84.5 million for the same period in 1994.
This increase was predominantly attributable to higher outdoor advertising net
revenues, which rose $17.9 million or 23.0% during this period.  The increase
in outdoor advertising net revenues was principally attributable to increases
in number of displays and advertising rates, with occupancy rates remaining
relatively steady.  Operations acquired subsequent to fiscal 1993 generated
$9.1 million of this increase in outdoor advertising net revenues.  This
increase in net revenues was partially offset by a decrease in management fees
resulting from the LHC acquisition.  Continued development of the logo sign
business resulted in logo advertising revenue increasing $0.3 million or 5.5%
for the twelve months ended October 31, 1995 as compared to the prior fiscal
year.
<PAGE>   5
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $8.2
million or 15.5% to $61.4 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 1995
from $53.2 million for the same period in 1994.  The LHC operations acquired in
May 1994 generated $5.5 million of this increase in operating expenses; the
remaining $2.7 million of the increase was generated by previously existing
operations.  This $2.7 million increase was primarily the result of
acquisitions which caused an expansion of the Company's work force, which
required higher aggregate commissions, workers' compensation costs and employee
benefit expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.7 million or 24% from $11.4
million for the year ended October 31, 1994 to $14.1 million for the year ended
October 31, 1995.  This increase in depreciation and amortization was generated
by the assets purchased during fiscal years 1994 and 1995.

Because the Company's operating expenses declined as a percentage of net
revenues to 73.8% for fiscal 1995 from 76.4% for fiscal 1994, operating income
increased $7.0 million or 34.9% from $19.9 million for the twelve months ended
October 31, 1994 to $26.9 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 1995.

Interest expense increased $2.2 million or 16.1% to $15.8 million for the
twelve months ended October 31, 1995 from $13.6 million for the same period in
1994.  Approximately $1.8 million of the increase in interest expense reflected
an additional $35.0 million in debt incurred in May 1994 to finance the LHC
acquisition.  The remaining $0.4 million increase in interest expense was due
to increased working capital borrowings throughout fiscal 1995.

The Company had a significant net operating loss carryforward and, therefore,
income tax expense for this period reflected the alternative minimum tax, state
income tax and the recognition in the current year of the deferred tax benefit
generated by the net operating loss carryforward.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net earnings increased $3.4 million or
46.6% to $10.7 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 1995 from $7.3
million for the same period in 1994.

YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1993

Net revenues increased $18.0 million or 27.0% to $84.5 million for the twelve
months ended October 31, 1994 from $66.5 million for the same period in 1993.
Higher outdoor advertising net revenues contributed $16.6 million of this
increase, resulting from increases in number of displays, occupancy rates and
advertising rates.  Logo advertising revenues increased $1.4 million or 34%
from $4.3 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 1993 to $5.7 million
for the twelve months ended October 31, 1994.  The increase in revenues from
logo advertising was generated by the build-out of logos in Texas and
Mississippi and the continued expansion of the existing systems.

Operating expenses, exclusive of deprecation and amortization, increased $9.9
million or 22.8% to $53.2 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 1994
from $43.3 million for the same period in 1993.  This increase was
approximately evenly split between existing operations and those acquired after
fiscal 1993.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.4 million or 27.2% to $11.4
million for the twelve months ended October 31,1994 from $8.9 million for the
<PAGE>   6
twelve months ended October 31, 1993. $1.8 million of such increase was
attributable to operations acquired after fiscal 1993, with $1.2 million
representing depreciation of newly acquired boards and $0.6 million
representing amortization related to intangibles capitalized as part of such
acquisitions.

Because revenue growth outpaced increases in expenses, operating income
increased $5.7 million or 39.7% to $19.9 million for the twelve months ended
October 31, 1994 from $14.3 million for the same period in 1993.

Interest expense increased $2.1 million or 18.2% to $13.6 million for the
twelve months ended October 31, 1994 from $11.5 million for  the twelve months
ended October 31, 1993.  Approximately $1.4 million of such increase reflects
an additional $35.0 million of debt incurred in connection with the May 1994
LHC acquisition.  The remaining $0.7 million of the increase in interest
expense was due to the issuance in May 1993 of $100 million in aggregate
principal amount of Senior Notes with a fixed interest rate of 11.0%.  Prior to
the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company's debt consisted primarily of
variable rate bank financing with a lower net interest cost.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net earnings increased $8.0 million to
$7.3 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 1994 from a net loss of
$0.7 million for the same period in 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased to $15.2
million in fiscal 1994 from $12.4 million in fiscal 1993 due primarily to the
increase in net earnings.  Net cash used in investing activities increased from
$10.1 million in fiscal 1993 to $53.6 million in fiscal 1994, due primarily to
the LHC acquisition.  Net cash used in financing activities increased from $6.8
million in fiscal 1993 to $37.1 million in fiscal year 1994 due primarily to
the incurrence of indebtedness pursuant to a new $35.0 million bank term loan
used to complete the LHC acquisition.

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased to $25.1
million in fiscal 1995 due primarily to a $3.4 million increase in net earnings
and the addition of non-cash items, including a $2.7 million increase in
depreciation and amortization.  Net cash used in investing activities decreased
from $53.6 million in fiscal 1994 to $17.8 million in fiscal 1995 due primarily
to a $37.6 million decrease in purchase of new markets attributable to the
inclusion of the LHC acquisition in fiscal 1994, offset by a $1.8 million
increase in capital expenditures and purchases of intangibles.  Net cash used
in financing activities decreased $46.5 million in fiscal 1995 due to a $44.5
million decrease in proceeds from issuance of long term debt compared to fiscal
1994.

During the three fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, the Company's aggregate
capital expenditures, as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow,
were $35.0 million.  Of this amount, the Company spent in the fiscal years
1993, 1994 and 1995 approximately $2.4 million, $5.0 million and $9.3 million,
respectively, to build and maintain structures within its existing markets and
$2.0 million, $2.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to meet the capital
expenditures requirements of state logo sign franchise operations.

During fiscal year 1995, the Company was awarded four new state logo
franchises.  They are Georgia, Minnesota, South Carolina and Virginia.  In
addition, the state of Texas is expanding its existing program currently run by
Lamar, and has awarded the expansion contract to the Company.   Due to the
capital requirements necessary in 1996 to fund these new franchises,
approximately $13 million, the Company effective October, 1995 amended its
existing Bank credit agreement partially deferring short term principal
payments.  In addition, the Company has entered into a new $15 million reducing
credit line with its Bank group.  This line may only be used to finance the
cost of new logo franchises awarded to it.

Effective May 1, 1994, the Company completed the LHC acquisition in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase for a price of $43.5 million, which was
financed with the proceeds of a bank term loan in the amount of $35.0 million,
with the remainder financed from the Company's revolving credit facilities.

On May 19, 1993, the Company issued $100 million in aggregate principal amount
of Senior Notes.  Simultaneously with the sale of the Senior Notes, the Company
entered into a new Bank Credit Agreement which provided an $8 million term loan
and a $20 million working capital line of credit.  The majority of the net
proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes was utilized to extinguish existing
variable rate debt prior to maturity and pay related expenses.  See
"Description of Indebtedness-Senior Notes."

The Company expects to have sufficient funds going forward to cover all debt
service and capital expenditure requirements.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


Board of Directors
Lamar Advertising Company
Baton Rouge, Louisiana:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lamar
Advertising Company and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' deficit and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 1995.
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 Lamar Advertising
Company and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended October 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                (In thousands, except share and per share data)

                        October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993


 (1)   Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)    Principles of Consolidation

             The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Lamar
             Advertising Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lamar Holding
             Company (LHC) and The Lamar Corporation (TLC), their
             majority-owned subsidiaries and Interstate Logos, Inc., a
             subsidiary of both LAC and TLC (collectively, the Company or LAC).
             All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
             Prior to May 1994, the Company owned 49.36% of the outstanding
             stock of LHC, which investment was accounted for by the equity
             method.  On May 10, 1994, LAC acquired substantially all of the
             assets of LHC.  The proceeds from the sale of its assets were used
             by LHC to repay existing debt and redeem all of its shareholders
             other than LAC, resulting in LHC becoming a wholly-owned
             subsidiary of LAC.  The acquisition has been accounted for using
             the purchase method of accounting.

      (b)    Property, Plant and Equipment

             Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is
             calculated using accelerated and straight-line methods over the
             estimated useful lives of the assets.

      (c)    Intangible Assets

             Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of
             the related credit facilities using the interest method.  Other
             intangible assets are initially recorded at cost and amortized
             using the straight- line method over the assets' estimated useful
             lives, generally from 5 to 10 years.

      (d)    Deferred Income

             Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue
             received in advance and gains resulting from the sale of certain
             assets to related parties. Deferred advertising revenue is
             recognized in income as services are provided over the term of the
             contract.  Deferred gains are recognized in

                                                                     (Continued)

               (In thousands, except share and per share data)

             income in the consolidated financial statements at the time the
             assets are sold to an unrelated party or otherwise disposed of.

      (e)    Revenue Recognition

             The Company recognizes revenue from outdoor and logo sign
             advertising contracts, net of agency commissions, on an accrual
             basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as advertising
             services are provided.

      (f)    Income Taxes

             The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for
             income taxes.  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.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities
             are measured using 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.

      (g)    Earnings Per Share

             Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by
             the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
             each year (33,772,107 shares in 1995, 35,089,188 shares in 1994
             and 35,470,837 shares in 1993).  Such amounts have been adjusted
             to reflect the approximate 778.9-for-1 stock split and the
             concurrent exchanges of shares in a recapitalization that will
             occur in connection with the Offering referred to in Note 14.

      (h)    Cash and Cash Equivalents

             The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original
             maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

      (i)    Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts

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

(6)    Lamar Holdings Corporation

       Prior to May 1994, the Company owned 49.36% of the common stock of LHC.
       LHC was founded in 1989 by TLC, members of its management and certain
       institutional investors to provide outdoor advertising services in
       markets other than those served by TLC.

       Effective May 1, 1994, LAC acquired substantially all of the assets and
       assumed certain liabilities of LHC for a purchase price of $43,500.  The
       proceeds from the sale of its assets were used by LHC to repay existing
       debt and redeem all of its shareholders other than LAC, resulting in LHC
       becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of LAC.  The acquisition has been
       accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase price
       attributable to shareholders other than LAC (50.64%) has been allocated
       to the assets acquired based on their fair values.  The results of
       operations of LHC have been included in LAC's consolidated financial
       statements from May 1, 1994.


                                                                     (Continued)

       The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the
       combined results of operations of LAC and LHC as if the acquisition had
       occurred as of the beginning of 1994 and 1993, after giving effect to
       certain adjustments, including additional depreciation expense,
       increased interest expense on debt related to the acquisition, and
       related income tax effects.  The pro forma financial information does
       not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have
       occurred had the companies constituted a single entity during such
       period.

               The Senior Secured Notes were issued on May 19, 1993.  The notes
               bear interest at 11% payable semiannually.  The notes mature in
               2003 and are subject to redemption at the option of the Company
               at any time on or after May 15, 1998.  There is no sinking fund
               obligation associated with the notes.  The notes rank senior in
               right of payment to all subordinated debt of the Company and
               pari passu in right of payment with all unsubordinated
               borrowings of the Company and are unconditionally guaranteed by
               certain subsidiaries of the Company.  The notes are secured by a
               pledge of the capital stock of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors,
               subject to certain provisions.  Additionally, the Company is
               obligated to pledge the capital stock and obtain the guarantee
               of all future restricted subsidiaries as security.

               A portion of the proceeds from the Senior Secured Notes was used
               to extinguish existing variable and fixed rate debt prior to
               maturity.  In connection with the extinguishment, the Company
               incurred a loss of approximately $1,900 which has been reflected
               as an extraordinary item in the accompanying consolidated
               financial statements.  The per share amount of the aggregate
               loss net of related income tax effect is .05 for the year
               ended October 31, 1993.

               The indenture contains certain restrictive financial covenants,
               including the following:

                 o   Limitation on outstanding debt of the Company and any of
                     its restricted subsidiaries; 
                 o   Limitation of the payment of cash dividends and other 
                     restricted payments; 
                 o   Limitation on sale and leaseback transactions, and 
                 o   Limitation on sales or disposals of assets.

               The Company was in compliance with such covenants as of October
               31, 1995.

               On May 19, 1993, the Company also entered into a Bank Credit
               Agreement which provided an $8,000 term loan and a $20,000
               working capital line of credit.  The term loan

               will amortize over four years beginning in 1995 and the
               availability under the revolving credit facility will be reduced
               over a three-year period beginning in 1995 until the facility
               terminates in 1998. The term loan and the revolving credit
               facility are secured by a pledge of the capital stock of all of
               the Company's present subsidiaries.  During 1994, the Company
               executed certain amendments to the Bank Credit Agreement,
               including increasing the term loan to $43,000.  During 1995, the
               Company executed additional amendments to the Bank Credit
               Agreement, including a change in the Commitment to reduce the
               revolving line of credit over a three-year period beginning in
               1999 until the facility terminates in 2001.  As of October 31,
               1995, the balance of the term loan was $39,250 with an interest
               rate of 8.09%.  The Bank Credit Agreement contains certain
               restrictive financial covenants, including the following:

                 o   Maintaining specific ratios of cash flow to debt service
                     and total debt; 
                 o   Limitation of the payment of dividends; 
                 o   Limitation on investments and joint ventures; 
                 o   Limitation on capital expenditures, and 
                 o   Limitation on sales or disposals of assets.

               The Company was in compliance with such covenants as of October
               31, 1995.

               The 8% Series A, unsecured subordinated debentures with an
               original face amount of $4,844 were issued in 1986 at a discount
               of $986, which is being amortized over the life of the
               debentures.  The total unamortized discount was $238 and $314 at
               October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

       Income taxes attributable to continuing operations in 1995 and 1994
       include adjustments to the beginning-of-the- year valuation allowance on
       the Company's deferred tax assets in the amounts of $5,939 and $3,882,
       respectively.  The improved business conditions and resulting
       profitability has resulted in a change in management's judgment
       regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets.

       Advertising of Wichita Falls, Inc., a company which, at the time of the
       acquisition, was owned by certain stockholders of LAC.  The total
       consideration was approximately $1,375, which approximated the book
       value of the underlying assets.

       During 1993, a subsidiary of the Company purchased a building from a
       joint venture whose principals included the former Chairman of the Board
       and two officers of the Company for a price of approximately $740.

       consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains a $1,000 letter
       of credit with a bank to meet requirements of the Company's workers'
       compensation insurance carrier.  The Company also maintains a $375
       letter of credit with an insurance company to partially collateralize a
       surety bond for a logo company.

       The Company established The Lamar Corporation Savings and Profit Sharing
       Plan effective January 1, 1988.  Participants include all employees who
       have completed one year of service and are at least 21 years of age.
       The Company matches 50% of employees' contributions up to 5% of related
       compensation.  Employees can contribute up to 15% of compensation.  Full
       vesting on the Company's matched contributions occurs after five years.
       The Company contributed $512, $230 and $313 for the years ended October
       31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

       On November 1, 1993, LAC established The Lamar Corporation, Its
       Affiliates and Subsidiaries Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for
       the benefit of certain of its senior management who meet specified age
       and years of service criteria.  Employees who have attained the age of
       30 and have a minimum of 10 years of service are eligible for annual
       contributions to the Plan generally ranging from $3 to $8, depending on
       the employee's length of service.  LAC's contributions to the Plan will
       be maintained in a "rabbi" trust and, accordingly, the assets and
       liabilities of the Plan will be reflected in the balance sheet of LAC.
       Upon termination, death or disability, participating employees are
       eligible to receive an amount equal to the fair market value of the
       assets in the employee's deferred compensation account.  The Company has
       contributed $240, $442, and $101 to the Plan during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
       respectively.  Contributions to the Plan are discretionary and are
       determined by the Board of Directors.

       The Company is the subject of litigation arising during the normal
       course of business.  In the opinion of management and general counsel of
       the Company, those claims will not have a material impact on the
       financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

       As of December 30, 1995, 4,454,397 shares of Class A common stock with a
       $.001 per share stated value were converted into 5,719.49 shares of
       Class A preferred stock with a $638 per share par value.  This
       conversion resulted in an approximate $3,600 charge to accumulated
       deficit.

       On March 1, 1996, 3,463,666 shares of Class A common stock and 154,218
       shares of Class B common stock, $.001 stated value, were redeemed at a
       price of $.82 per share.  This redemption resulted in a $3,000 charge to
       accumulated deficit.  In connection with the redemption, the Company has
       agreed, contingent upon completion of the Offering referred to below, to
       pay additional consideration of $1.38 per share in cash and $5.52 per
       share in ten-year subordinated notes, which would result in an
       additional charge to stockholders' equity of $25,000.

       Subsequent to April 30, 1996, the Company advanced $450 to a
       stockholder.  The loan is payable on or before October 15, 1996.

       Effective July 1, 1996, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
       with an affiliate of a shareholder and former Chairman of the Board of
       the Company to replace the expiring consulting agreement discussed in
       note 11.  The agreement provides for a $120 annual consulting fee for a
       term of ten years.

       In July 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
       issuance of up to 5,445,250 shares of Class A Common Stock, $.001 par
       value per share, to be registered under Securities Act of 1933 (the
       "Offering"). In connection with the Offering, the Company effected a
       recapitalization consisting of an approximate 778.9-for-1 stock split
       and an exchange of common stock for new Class A and Class B common stock
       which is equal in all respects, except holders

                                                                     (Continued)

       of Class B common stock have ten votes per share and holders of Class A
       common stock have one vote per share.  Class B common stock converts
       automatically into Class A common stock upon the sale or transfer to
       persons other than permitted transferees.

       Also in connection with the Offering, the Company proposes to adopt the
       1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan").  The purpose of the 1996
       Plan is to attract and retain key employees and consultants of the
       Company.  The 1996 Plan will authorize the grant of stock options, stock
       appreciation rights and restricted stock to employees and consultants of
       the Company capable of contributing to the Company's performance.  The
       Company will reserve an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares (after giving
       effect to the recapitalization referred to in Note 12) of Class A common
       stock for awards under the 1996 Plan.
