       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)







1.  ACCOUNTING POLICY

     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 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.

     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.

    Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not included
because such subsidiaries are jointly and severally liable, and that the
aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the guarantor subsidiaries
are substantially equivalent to the assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of
the parent on a consolidated basis.


2.  INCOME TAXES

     Lamar Advertising Comany files a consolidated Federal income tax return
which includes all of its qualifying subsidiaries.  Income tax expense for the
period is based on estimates of the Company's annual effective tax rate.

                (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)






3.  STOCK CONVERSION

     On December 30, 1995, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was
amended to authorize 10,000 shares of Class A preferred stock with a par value
of $638 and no voting rights.  The Class A preferred stock dividends are
cumulative and are priority to Class A and Class B common stock dividends at the
rate of $15.95 per share per quarter.

     As of January 31, 1996, 5,719.49 shares of Class A common stock with a $10
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 a $3.6
million charge to accumulated deficit.


4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On March 1, 1996, the Company redeemed 4,447.41 shares of Class A common
stock and 198 shares of Class B common stock at a price of $638 per share.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS









LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's working capital surplus at January 31, 1996 was $5.5 million
compared to a surplus of $1.7 million at October 31,1995.  Several factors
combined to produce this result.  There was a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of $4.1 million due to the interest payment of $5.5 million for the
$100 million fixed rate Senior Secured notes which was offset by working capital
line borrowing of $8.5 million used for approximately $6.6 million in
acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets and other capital expenditures
yielding the net decrease.  The cash decrease was offset by a $2.3 million
increase in trade accounts receivable due to a 12% increase in advertising
revenue over the same period in 1995 and a $1.5 million increase in other
current assets due to refundable deposits made to enable the Company to
pursue additional acquisitions.

     The Company entered into a new $15 million reducing credit line with its
Bank group dated December 22, 1995.  This line may only be used to finance the
cost of new logo franchises awarded to the Company.  As of January 31, 1996 the
Company had borrowed approximately $3 million to fund the development of
additional logo advertising markets in Georgia, Minnesota, South Carolina and
Virginia.

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

     There was a decrease in accrued expenses of $5.4 million consisting of a
$2.9 million decrease in accrued interest due to the timing difference on the
$100 million fixed rate Senior Secured notes and a $.7 million decrease due to
the accrual of only one quarter of certain year end liabilities and a decrease
of $1.5 million in accrued payroll due to the first quarter payment of year end
bonuses.  The accrued expenses decrease was offset by a $0.7 million increase in
current maturities of long-term debt due primarily to the increased quarterly
amortization under the term loan of the Bank Agreement and a $0.8 million
increase in the current portion of deferred income due to the increase in logo
sales in the first quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended January 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended January 31,
1995

     Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1996 increased $3.3 million
or $12.3% to $30.4 million compared to $27.1 million for the same period in
1995. Outdoor advertising revenues accounted for $2.2 million of this 
increase.  There were approximately $7 million of outdoor asset acquisitions
during the three months ended January 31, 1996.  These acquisitions 
contributed $0.4 million of the revenue increase.  The remaining $1.8 million 
increase was realized throughout all the profit centers from a varying mix of 
customers.  Logo advertising increased $1.0 million due to the continued 
development of that program.

     Operating expenses exclusive of deprecation and amortization for the three
months ended January 31, 1996 increased $2.7 million or 14.8% over the same
period in 1995.  This increase is the result of an increase in agency
commissions, health insurance rates, increases in personnel costs, sign site
rent, graphics expense, other costs related to the increase in revenue and
additional operating expenses related to outdoor asset acquisitions.

     Due to the above factors, operating income before deprecation and
amortization, increased $0.6 million or 6.9% to $9.3 million compared to $8.7
million for the same period in 1995.

     Income tax expense for the period increased $1.7 million over the same
period in 1995.  During the fiscal year ending October 31, 1996 the net 
operating loss carryforwards will be exhausted; therefore, provision for 
income tax consists of federal and state income tax expense based on net book
income and an estimated effective rate.

     As a result of the foregoing factors, net earnings for the three months
ended January 31, 1996 decreased $1.3 million as compared to the same period in
1995.
