This increase was primarily the result of (i) a $56.0 million increase in billboard net revenues, and (ii) a $2.5 million increase in logo sign revenue dueattributable to the completionCompany's acquisitions during 1998 and development of the new state logo sign franchises awarded1999 and acquired in 1997 and the continued expansion ofinternal growth within the Company's existing logo sign franchises.markets.

This was primarily the result of the additional operating expenses related to acquired outdoor advertising assets and the newly developed and acquired logo sign franchises. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $25.3$14.0 million or 79.5%79.3% from $31.8$17.6 million for the ninethree months ended September, 30, 1997March 31, 1998 to $57.131.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 as a result of an increase in capitalized assets resulting from the Company's recent acquisition activity. Due to the above factors, operating income increased $3.1decreased $2.4 million or 9.3%35.6% to $36.7$4.3 million for ninethree months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 from $33.6$6.7 million for the same period in 1997.1998.

The Company recorded incomeeffective tax expenserate for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998,March 31, 1999 is 22.2% which is less than the Company's historical effective tax rate due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible amortization of goodwill. Due to the adoption of SOP 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" which requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred, the Company expensed $.8 million as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This expense is a one time adjustment to expense start up activities and organization costs that were capitalized to the balance sheet in prior periods. As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 of $4.0$10.7 million, as compared to a net earningsloss of $3.9$4.6 million for the same period in 1997. Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased $18.0 million or 32.5% to $73.5 million from $55.5 million for the same period in 1997. Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased $8.2 million or 28.0% over the same period in 1997.

Interest expense increased $1.8 million from $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $12.1 million for the same period in 1998. The Company recognized net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1998 of $1.6 million as compared to net earnings of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The results for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were affected by the same factors as the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Reference is made to the discussion of the nine month results. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and revolving credit borrowings. Its acquisitions have been financed primarily with borrowed funds. In June, 1998,During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company completed a public offeringfinanced its acquisition activity of 6,375,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $29.00 per share. Netapproximately $75.6 million with remaining proceeds tofrom the December, 1998 equity offering. At March 31, 1999, following these acquisitions, the Company after underwriting discounts from the equity offering were $177.5 million. These proceeds were used to pay down outstanding bank debt of approximately $173.0had $250 million with the remainder used for operations. In July, 1998, the Company entered into a new Bank Credit Agreement (the "New Bank Credit Agreement") in replacement of its previous Agreement. The New Bank Credit Agreement consists of a committed $250,000 revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"), a $150,000 term facility (the "Term Facility") and a $100,000 incremental facility funded at the discretion of the lenders. The revolving credit loans and term loans begin amortizing in March 2000 and -12- 15 September 2000, respectively, and mature on December 31, 2005. Term loans may be requestedavailable under the Term Facility at any time prior to June 30,Revolving Facility. In April 1999, and revolving credit loans may be requested under the New Revolving Credit Facility at any time prior to maturity. The loans bear interest, at the Company's option, at the LIBOR Rate or Chase Prime Rate plus applicable margins, such margins being set from time to time based on the Company's ratio of debt to trailing twelve month EBITDA. EBITDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization, a commonly used measure of financial performance. The New Bank Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants comparable to those under the prior agreement and of a sort customary in credit facilities for outdoor advertising companies. On August 31, 1998, the Company financed the deposit related to the NicholsFrank Hardie Advertising and Van acquisitionLiberty Communications acquisitions with a $10.0draws totaling $22 million draw under the New Revolving Credit Facility. In September, 1998 the Company financed two acquisitions, Johnstown Poster and Advantage Outdoor, with draws under the New Revolving Credit Facility totaling $10.0 million. On October 1, 1998, the Company financed the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Outdoor Communications, Inc. ("OCI") with a $85.0 million draw under the New Revolving Credit Facility and a $150.0 million draw under the Term Facility. The Company also assumed $105.0currently has $230 million of 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 previously issued by OCI and issued approximately $45.0 million in notes to the three principal shareholders of OCI.

There is currently $169.0 million outstandingavailable under the New Revolving Credit Facility and $150 million outstanding underbelieves that this availability coupled with internally generated funds will be sufficient for the Term Facility.foreseeable future to satisfy all debt service obligations and to finance additional acquisition activity and current operations. The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased to $55.3$9.4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 due primarily to an increase in noncash items of $24.3$13.6 million, which is primarilyincludes an increase in depreciation and amortization of $25.3 million offset by a change in deferred taxes of $1.3$14.0 million. The increase in noncash items was offset by a decrease in net earnings of $7.9$6.1 million, a decrease in accrued expenses of $8.6$5.3 million and an increase in other assets of $1.8 million. There was also a decrease in receivables of $6.8 million and an increase in deferred income of $1.7$4.7 million. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $86.6increased $22.2 million from $346.4$65.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1997March 31, 1998 to $259.8$87.9 million for the same period in 1998.1999.

The principal payments were offset by $1.3 million in net proceeds from issuance of common stock offset by a $18.0and $2.9 million decrease in net borrowings under credit agreements, a $193.4 million decrease in proceeds from note offering and a $2.7 million decrease in debt issuance costs. The Company believes that internally generated funds and available funds under the New Bank Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy all debt service obligations, and to finance additional acquisition activity and current operations. -13-of notes payable. -12- 16 Regulation15 Elimination of Tobacco Advertising POTENTIAL ELIMINATION OR REDUCTION OF TOBACCO ADVERTISING ManufacturersBy the end of tobacco products, mainly cigarettes, were historically major usersApril 1999, the Company had removed all of outdoor advertising displays. Beginning in 1992, the leading tobacco companies substantially reduced their domestic advertising expenditures in response to societal and governmental pressures and other factors. The Company's revenues from the tobacco products industry are depicted in the following table.
PERIOD ENDED OUTDOOR ADVERTISING NET REVENUES September 30, 1998 8% December 31, 1997 9% October 31, 1996 10% October 31, 1995 9% October 31, 1994 7% October 31, 1993 7% October 31, 1992 12%
As you can see from the table, the percentage of the Company's advertising revenues that come from the tobacco products industry has decreased over the last several years. The tobacco industry could further decrease its outdoor advertising expenditures voluntarily or as a result of governmental regulation. The Company is not certain what affect any such reduction would have on our operations. In June 1997 several of the major tobacco companies in the United States that had been sued by numerous state attorneys general reached agreement on a proposed settlement. The terms of this proposed settlement included a ban on all outdoor advertising of tobacco products commencing nine months after finalizationin connection with settlements the states had reached with the U.S. tobacco companies. Because of the settlement. The settlement, however, was subject to numerous conditions, most importantly the enactment of legislation by the federal government. The settlement collapsed in June 1998 after Congress failed to enact the required legislation. The bill was resubmitted to the Senate Commerce Committee, but further action is uncertain. In October 1998, the tobacco companies and attorneys general of 38 states began discussing a new national tobacco settlement. Under the terms of the proposed plan, tobacco companies would discontinue all advertising on billboards. At this time the timing and terms of any definitive settlement are uncertain. If the tobacco industry eliminates or reduces billboard advertising,these settlements, the Company's outdoor advertisingtobacco revenues could decrease immediately andas a percentage of consolidated net revenue have declined from 7% for the Company's12 months ended December 31, 1998 to 5% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. When displays formerly occupied by tobacco advertisers have become available inventory could increase. An increase in available inventory could causethe recent past, the Company to reduce our rates or limit the Company's ability to raise rates for some period. If a new tobacco settlement were finalized according to the proposed terms and if the Company was unable to replace revenues from tobacco advertising, the proposed settlement would have an adverse effect on the -14- 17 Company's results of operations. While the Company believes that it would behas been able to replace a substantial portionattract substitute advertising for the unoccupied space on comparable or more favorable terms. While both of the tobacco advertising revenues that would be eliminated,these trends are positive, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to do soattract substitute advertising to occupy the displays which will become unoccupied, or do so at comparable advertising rates. The states of Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Minnesota have reached separate settlements of litigation with the tobacco industry. These settlements were not conditioned on federal government approval. The Florida and Mississippi settlements provided for the elimination of all outdoor advertising of tobacco products by February 1998 and the Texas settlement requires removal by June 1998. The Company removed all of its tobacco billboards and advertising in Florida, Mississippi and Texas in compliance with those settlement deadlines. The Minnesota settlement requires the elimination of all outdoor advertising of tobacco products by November 1998. The following table sets forth information about the Company's advertising markets in Florida, Mississippi and Texas at December 31, 1997.
STATE # OF ADVERTISING # OF MARKETS IN THE TOTAL ADVERTISING PORTION OF TOTAL DISPLAY STATE REVENUES IN STATE ADVERTISING REVENUES (IN MILLIONS) FROM TOBACCO ADVERTISING Florida 4,253 7 $ 19.2 $ 1.8 Mississippi 2,532 3 $ 10.6 $ 0.8 Texas 3,300 6 $ 11.0 $ 0.8
Before the Company's acquisition of Outdoor Communications, Inc. on October 1, 1998,that substitute advertisers will pay rates as favorable to the Company did not have any outdoor advertising displays foras those paid by tobacco products in Minnesota. By acquiring Outdoor Communications, Inc. the Company acquired 1,329 outdoor advertising displays, some of which were used for advertising tobacco products. However, we removed all of our outdoor advertising displays for tobacco products in Minnesota before the settlement deadline of November 1998. Although the Company has removed all of our tobacco advertising in states where settlements are in place, the size and scope of the Minnesota settlement, which includes the ban on all outdoor tobacco advertising, may foreshadow similar settlements of tobacco-related litigation in other states, which may adversely affect the Company's outdoor advertising revenues. New Accounting Pronouncements The FASB has issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which established a new accounting principle for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and interim financial reports. It also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently evaluating the applicability of this standard. However, the Company does not expect a material impact on disclosures in the Company's financial statements. -15- 18 The AICPA has issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities", which requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. At September 30, 1998, the Company estimates that $1.24 million of capitalized costs are included in intangible assets on the Company's balance sheet.advertisers. Impact of Year 2000 The year 2000 issue is the result of the development of computer programs and systems using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Computer programs and equipment with time-sensitive software may recognize the date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions to business operations. The Company has conducted an assessment of its software and related systems and believes they are year 2000 compliant. The Company's year 2000 effort also included communication with all significant third party vendors and customers to determine the extent to which the Company's systems are vulnerable to those parties' failure to reach year 2000 compliance. There can be no guarantee that the Company's third party vendors or customers will be year 2000 compliant on a timely basis and that failure to achieve compliance would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business operations. The Company believes that it is difficult to fully assess the risks of the year 2000 problem due to numerous uncertainties surrounding the issue. Management believes that primary risks are external to the Company and relate to the year 2000 readiness of its third party business partners. Accordingly, the Company plans to devoteis devoting the resources it concludes are appropriate to address all significant year 2000 issues in a timely manner. -13- 16 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS NotThe Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments issued by the Company. The Company does not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. The information below summarizes the Company's interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at March 31, 1999. Loans under the Company's New Bank Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates equal to the Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Because the Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR may increase or decrease at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in these base rates may have on the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the New Bank Credit Agreement. Increases in the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the New Bank Credit Agreement would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company's net income and after tax cash flow. At March 31, 1999, there was approximately $250 million of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the New Bank Credit Agreement, or approximately 30.2% of the Company's outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 with respect to borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement was $4.5 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under these credit facilities during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was 7.1%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 9.1% rather than 7.1%), then the Company's 1999 interest expense would have been approximately $1.2 million higher resulting in a $.7 million decrease in the Company's three months ended March 31, 1999 net income and after tax cash flow. The Company attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by also issuing fixed rate long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the amount of the Company's variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition, the Company has the capability under the New Bank Credit Agreement to fix the interest rates applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months, which would allow the Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. In the event of an increase in interest rates, the Company may take further actions to mitigate its exposure. The Company cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or that, if these actions are taken, that they will be effective. -14- 17 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2.
