As a result of the above factors, we recognized net income for the year ended December 31, 20062008 of $45.2$11.0 million, as compared to net income of $47.5$47.0 million for the same period in 2005.2007.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.principles (GAAP). For this adjustment, we measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the acquired assets during the period in 20052007 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the acquired assets in 20062008 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as “acquisition net revenue.”

Net revenues (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) for the year ended December 31, 2005,2007, as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004,2006, increased $59.8$82.5 million or 6.5%7.3% as a result of net revenue internal growth. See “Reconciliations” below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain (loss) on sale of assets, increased $75.3$39.7 million or 15.4%6.2% to $565.4$678.2 million for the year ended December 31, 20052007 from $490.1$638.5 million for the same period in 2004.2006. There was a $68.9$30.4 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in costs in operating our core assets and a $6.4$9.3 million increase in corporate expenses. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily related to additional expenses related to expanded efforts in our business development and national sales department.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $4.0increased $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 20052007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.2006. The increase is a result of increased capital expenditures in 2007, including $92.1 million related to digital billboards.
Due to the above factors, operating income increased $66.9$37.6 million to $167.3$228.4 million for year ended December 31, 20052007 compared to $100.4$190.8 million for the same period in 2004.2006.
On September 30, 2005,During the first quarter of 2007, we refinanced our bank credit facility. The new bank credit facility is comprised ofrecognized a $400.0$15.4 million revolving bank credit facility and a $400.0 million term facility. The bank credit facility also includes a $500.0 million incremental facility, which permits us to request that our lenders enter into commitments to make additional term loans to us, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $500.0 million. The lenders have no obligation to make additional loans under the incremental facility. Asgain as a result of this refinancing,the sale of a private company in which we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.0 million in 2005.had an ownership interest.
Interest expense increased $17.0$50.1 million from $64.9$111.1 million for the year ended December 31, 20042006 to $81.9$161.2 million for the year ended December 31, 20052007 due to anincreased debt balances as well as increase in interest rates on variable-rate debt.
The increase in operating income and the gain on disposition of investment offset by the increase in interest expense described above resulted in a $47.0$4.2 million increase in income before income taxes. This increase in income resulted in an increase in the income tax expense of $23.7$2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 20052007 over the same period in 2004.2006. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 20052007 was 42.8%44.8%, which is greater than the statutory rates due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible expenses.
As a result of the above factors, we recognized net income for the year ended December 31, 20052007 of $47.5$47.0 million, as compared to net income of $24.2$45.2 million for the same period in 2004.2006.
ReconciliationsReconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 20032005 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 20042006 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 20042006 net revenue by adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets (excluding assets acquired in the Obie markets) prior to our acquisition of them for the same time frame that those assets were owned in 2005.2007. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 20052007 and 20042006 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to assess how well our core assets are performing. Our management has excluded revenues from the Obie markets in the 2005 periods and no adjustment has been made to the 2004 periods with respect to the Obie markets because of operational issues that were unique to the assets in the Obie markets, which are comprised primarily of transit assets. After the assets in the Obie markets were operated for approximately twelve months, we began including these assets in its acquisition-adjusted net revenue calculation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
In light of the worsening economic climate in the fourth quarter of 2008 that has continued in 2009, we have taken certain steps to reduce our overall operating expenses. These steps include reducing operating expenses and non-essential capital expenditures and significantly reducing acquisition activity. As part of the overall reductions in operating expenses, we have reduced our workforce from approximately 3,500 to 3,100, which represents a decrease of approximately 11%.
We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under our banksenior credit facility. We are the principal borrower under the banksenior credit facility and maintain all corporate cash balances. Any cash requirements of our parent, Lamar Advertising, Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from us. Our acquisitions have been financed primarily with funds borrowed under the bank credit facility and issuance of Lamar Advertising’s Class A common stock, and debt securities. If an acquisition is made by one of our subsidiaries using Lamar Advertising Class A common stock, a permanent contribution of additionalpaid-in-capital of Class A common stock is distributed to that subsidiary.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20072009, we had approximately $228.8$156.0 million ofin total liquidity which is comprisedthat consists of approximately $10.8$12.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and the ability to draw approximately $218.0 million underfully access our revolving banksenior credit facility.facility in the amount of $143.2 million while remaining in compliance with covenant restrictions. In addition, Lamar Advertising had approximately $144.8 million in cash on hand at June 30, 2009, of which $117.8 million was used to repurchase approximately $120.4 million in aggregate principal amount of its 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B on July 17, 2009. See “Uses of Cash — Tender Offers” below.
Cash Generated by Operations.

While our net incomeloss was approximately $42.1$31.9 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we generated cash from operating activities of $264.2$117.9 million during that same period, primarily due to non-cash adjustments needed to reconcile net incomeloss to cash provided by operating activities of $238.3$167.6 million, which primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $220.8$169.3 million partially offset by the recognition of deferred tax benefits of $18.6 million. ThisIn addition, there was offset by an increase in working capital of $16.2$17.8 million. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 20072009 in excess of our cash needs for operations and capital expenditures as described herein. We expect to use the excess cash generated principally for acquisitions and to fund repurchases under our stock repurchase program. See “— Cash Flows” for more information.reducing outstanding indebtedness.
Credit Facilities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we had approximately $218.0$143.2 million of unused capacity under the revolving credit facility included in our banksenior credit facility.

Uses of Cash
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions were approximately $173.4$21.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007, which is relatively constant as compared to the prior period.2009. We anticipate our 20072009 total capital expenditures to be approximately $215between $35 million which includes approximately $95and $40 million.
31
Acquisitions. Due to the current economic recession, we have significantly reduced our acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2009. Consequently, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, our acquisition activity was $0.6 million for digital capital expenditures.and was financed with cash on hand.

In 2007, we expect to spend between $125.0 million and $150.0 million on acquisitions, which we may finance through borrowings, cash on hand, the issuance of Class A common stock, or some combinationApril 17, 2009. As a result of the foregoing, depending on market conditions.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to long-lived asset recovery, intangible assets, goodwill impairment, deferred taxes, asset retirement obligations and allowance for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $343.9 million. The share repurchasesdoubtful accounts. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the plancircumstances, including assumptions as to future events and, where applicable, established valuation techniques. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may be made ondiffer from our estimates.

Special Cash Dividend. In February 2007, the Lamar Advertising’s board of directors declared a special cash dividend of $3.25 per share of common stock that was paid on March 30, 2007 to stockholders of record on March 22, 2007. Lamar Advertising had approximately 82.5 million shares of Class A common stock and 15.4 million shares of Class B common stock, which is convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at the option of its holder, outstanding as of the record date resulting in an aggregate dividend payment of $318.3 million.
Long-Lived Asset RecoveryRecovery.
Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment and intangibles comprise a significant portion of the Company’s total assets. Property, plant and equipment of $1.5$1.6 billion and intangible assets of $819$773.1 million are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset before interest expense. These undiscounted cash flow projections are based on management assumptions surrounding future operating results and the anticipated future economic environment. If actual results differ from management’s assumptions, an impairment of these intangible assets may exist and a charge to income would be made in the period such impairment is determined. NoBased on the Company’s analysis as of December 31, 2008, no such impairment charge has been recordedwas required by the Company.
Intangible AssetsAssets.
The Company has significant intangible assets recorded on its balance sheet. Intangible assets primarily represent goodwill of $1.4 billion, site locations of $758.7$717.9 million and customer relationships of $54.2$49.4 million associated with the Company’s acquisitions. The fair values of intangible assets recorded are determined using discounted cash flow models that require management to make assumptions related to future operating results, including projecting net revenue growth discounted using current cost of capital rates, of each
32
acquisition and the anticipated future economic environment. If actual results differ from management’s assumptions, an impairment of these intangibles may exist and a charge to income would be made in the period such impairment is determined. Historically no impairment charge has been required with respect to the Company’s intangible assets.

Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill Impairment.The Company hadhas a significant amount of goodwill of $1.4 billion as of September 30, 2007on its balance sheet and December 31, 2006. In accordance with the Company’s policy,must perform an impairment analysistest of goodwill is performed annually at December 31, or on a more frequent basis if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. This analysisimpaired and is analyzed both on a company level, as well as on a consolidated level, considering market capitalization of our parent company, Lamar Advertising. The first step of the impairment test requires management to make assumptions as todetermine the implied fair value of its reporting unit as comparedunits and compare it to its carryingbook value (including goodwill). In conductingTo the impairment analysis,extent the Company determinesbook value of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of itsthe reporting unit, utilizing quotedthe Company would be required to perform the second step of the impairment test, as this is an indicator that the reporting unit may be impaired. Impairment testing involves various estimates and assumptions, which could vary, and an analysis of relevant market pricesdata and market capitalization.
We have identified two reporting units (Logo operations and Billboard operations) in accordance with SFAS 142. No changes have been made to our reporting units from the prior period. The reporting units and their carrying amounts of goodwill as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | Carrying Value of Goodwill | |

| Logo operations | | | 961 | | | | 961 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
We believe there are numerous facts and circumstances that need to be considered when estimating the reasonableness of the reporting unit’s estimated fair value, especially in this period of unprecedented economic uncertainty. In conducting our impairment test, we assessed the reasonableness of the reporting unit’s estimated fair value based on both market capitalization and discounted future cash flows. The discounted cash flow analysis incorporated various growth rate assumptions and discounting based on a present value factor.
Consideration of market capitalization
The Company first considered the market capitalization of the consolidated company, Lamar Advertising as of its annual impairment testing date of December 31. The market capitalization of Lamar Advertising’s Class A common stock which are used to calculate the Company’s enterprise value as of December 31, 2008 was $1.2 billion compared to stockholders’ equity of $860.3 million as of that date, resulting in an excess of approximately $340.2 million. The Company considers market capitalization over book value a strong indicator that no impairment of goodwill exists as of the carryingmeasurement date of December 31, 2008. The following table presents the market capitalization and aggregate book value of the Company’s assets.reporting units as of December 31, 2008:

Calculations of Fair Value using Discounted cash flow models before interest expense areCash Flow Analysis
We also used. Theseestimate fair value using a discounted cash flow models require managementanalysis that compares the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit to makethe book value of the reporting unit.
33
The discount rate and projected revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) growth rates are significant assumptions utilized in our calculation of the present value of cash flows used to estimate fair value of the reporting units. These assumptions could be adversely impacted by certain risks including projecting the Company’s net revenue growth discounted using currentdeterioration in industry and economic conditions.
Our discount rate assumption is based on our cost of capital which we determine annually based on our estimated costs of debt and equity relative to our capital structure. As of December 31, 2008 our weighted average cost of capital (WACC) was approximately 10%, which is slightly higher than our historical rate due to increased market risk given the current economic conditions. Based on our analysis, our WACC must exceed 11.4% before the second step of the impairment test would be required.
We develop our revenue and EBITDA growth rates relatedduring our annual budget process, which we complete in December of each fiscal year. We consider our historical performance and current market trends in the markets in which we operate. The following table describes the growth rates used in our analysis, which indicated no impairment charge was required, compared to our recent historical rates achieved:
Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Revenue | | | EBITDA | |

| | |
| * | | Calculated based on the Company’s historical results from 2004 to 2008. |
Our December 31, 2008 discounted cash flow analysis does not indicate the need for step two of the impairment test unless the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), calculated using projections over the next 5 years, for revenue declines to less than (1.5%) for our billboard operations and less than (12.5%) for our logo operations, and the CAGR for EBITDA declines to less than (0.6%) for our billboard operations and less than (14.2%) for our logo operations. Assumptions used in our impairment test, such as forecasted growth rates and our cost of capital, are based on the best available market information and are consistent with our internal forecast and operating plans. In addition, our forecasts were based on the current economic recession continuing through the fist two quarters of 2010. A prolonged recession or changes in our forecasts could change our conclusion regarding an impairment of goodwill and potentially result in a non-cash impairment loss in a future period. In addition, these assumptions could be adversely impacted by certain risks discussed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this report. For additional information about goodwill, see Note 3 to the future operating resultsConsolidated Financial Statements. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of our reporting units and aggregate book value of the Company and the anticipated future economic environment. reporting units as of December 31, 2008:

Based upon the Company’s annual review as of December 31, 2006,2008, using both the market capitalization approach and discounted cash flow analysis, there was no indication of a potential impairment and, therefore, the second step of the impairment test was not required and no impairment charge was required.necessary.
Deferred TaxesTaxes.
As of September 30, 2007,December 31, 2008, the Company has made the determinationdetermined that its deferred tax assets of $119.6$133.8 million, a component of which is the Company’s net operating loss carryforward,carry forward, net of existing valuation allowances, are fully realizable due to the existence of certain deferred tax liabilities of approximately $247.5$286.1 million that are anticipated to reverse during the carryforwardcarry forward period. The Company bases this determination by projecting taxable income over the relevant period. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets. Should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred
34
tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. For a more detailed description, see Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Asset Retirement ObligationsObligations.
The Company had an asset retirement obligation of $147.7$160.7 million as of September 30, 2007 under the provisionsDecember 31, 2008 as a result of its adoption of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.Obligations,”on January 1, 2003. This liability relates to the Company’s obligation upon the termination or non-renewal of a lease to dismantle and remove its billboard structures from the leased land and to reclaim the site to its original condition. The Company records the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which they are incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. In calculating the liability, the Company calculates the present value of the estimated cost to dismantle using an average cost to dismantle, adjusted for inflation and market risk.
This calculation includes 100% of the Company’s billboard structures on leased land (which currently consist of approximately 75,00080,000 structures). The Company uses a15-year retirement period based on historical operating experience in its core markets, including the actual time that billboard structures have been located on leased land in such markets and the actual length of the leases in the core markets, which includes the initial term of the lease, plus any renewal period. Historical third-party cost information is used with respect to the dismantling of the structures and the reclamation of the site. The interest rate used to calculate the present value of such costs over the retirement period is based on credit rates historically available to the Company.
Stock-based CompensationCompensation.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, employee stock purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, restricted stock and performance shares, under the modified prospective transition method. Share-based compensation expense is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment
34
awards that is ultimately expected to vest. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of share-based awards. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various assumptions, including volatility, expected life and interest rates. The expected life is based on the observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise and forfeitures of stock options by our employees. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we used a combination of historical and implied volatility, or blended volatility, in deriving the expected volatility assumption as allowed under SFAS No. 123(R) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the term of our stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on our historical experience. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of SFAS No. 123(R) in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under SFAS No. 123(R) may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. During 2006,2008, we recorded $7.6$8.0 million as compensation expense related to stock options and employee stock purchases. We evaluate and adjust our assumptions on an annual basis. See Note 14 “Stock Compensation Plans” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Allowance for Doubtful AccountsAccounts.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on the payment patterns of its customers. Management analyzes historical results, the economic environment, changes in the credit worthiness of its customers, and other relevant factors in determining the adequacy of the Company’s allowance. Bad debt expense was $6.3$14.4 million, $6.7$7.2 million and $7.8$6.3 million or approximately 1%1.2%, 0.6% and 0.6% of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2006, 20052008, 2007, and 2004,2006, respectively. If the futurecurrent economic environment declines,recession is prolonged or increases in severity, the inability of customers to pay may occur and the allowance for doubtful accounts may need to be increased, which will result in additional bad debt expense in future years.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to long-lived asset recovery, intangible assets, goodwill impairment, deferred taxes, asset retirement obligations and allowance for doubtful accounts. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events and, where applicable, established valuation techniques. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates. We believe that the following significant accounting policies and assumptions may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Accounting Standard No. 159, the “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“Statement 159”). This Statement permits its entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on these instruments in earnings. Statement 159 is effective as of January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect any material financial statement implications relating to the adoption of this Statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (Statement 157). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements,
35
the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, Statement 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of Statement 157 will change current practice. Statement 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within these fiscal years. We are assessing the impact of Statement 157 which is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results or operations or cash flows.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with the variable rate debt instruments we issue. The information below summarizes our interest rate risk associated with our principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at September 30, 2007, and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2006 CombinedForm 10-K.
Loans under our banksenior credit agreementfacility bear interest at variable rates equal to the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin.margin, with a minimum LIBOR rate of 2.0%. Because the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR may increase or decrease at any time, we are 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 banksenior credit agreement.facility. Increases in the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the banksenior credit agreementfacility would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in our net income.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, there was approximately $1.4$1.18 billion of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the banksenior credit agreement,facility, or approximately 51.4%40.9% of our outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20072009 with respect to borrowings under the banksenior credit agreementfacility was $53.9$25.7 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under thisthe credit facility during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20072009 was 6.5%3.3%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 8.5%5.3% rather than 6.5%3.3%), then our ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20072009 interest expense would have been approximately 16.3$12.6 million higher resulting in a $8.9$8.2 million decreaseincrease in our ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20072009 net income.loss.
We have attempted to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from ourits variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by issuing fixed rate, long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the amount of our variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition, we have the capability under the banksenior credit agreementfacility to fix the interest rates applicable to our borrowings at an amount equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months, (in certain cases, with the consent of the lenders) which would allow us to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. From time to time, we have utilized and expect to continue to utilize derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of our interest rate risks to achieve a more predictable cash flow by reducing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These transactions generally are interest rate and swap agreements, which are entered into with major financial institutions. In the event of an increase in interest rates, we may take further actions to mitigate our exposure. We cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that itwe may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.

General
We are one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in the United States based on number of displays and have operated under the Lamar name since 1902. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we owned and operated over 151,000approximately 153,000 billboard advertising displays in 44 states, Canada and Puerto Rico, over 98,00093,500 logo advertising displays in 1921 states and the province of Ontario, Canada, and operated approximately 30,000over 26,700 transit advertising displays in 1716 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. We offer our customers a fully integrated service, satisfying all aspects of their billboard display requirements from ad copy production to placement and maintenance.
Our Business
We operate three types of outdoor advertising displays: billboards, logo signs and transit advertising displays.
Billboards. We sell most of our advertising space on two types of billboards: bulletins and posters.
| | |
| | • | Bulletinsare generally large, illuminated advertising structures that are located on major highways and target vehicular traffic. |
| |
| | • | Postersare generally smaller advertising structures that are located on major traffic arteries and city streets and target vehicular and pedestrian traffic. |
In addition to these traditional billboards, we also havesell digital billboards thatwhich are generally located on major traffic arteries and city streets. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we owned and operated approximately 6701,125 digital billboard advertising displays in 3638 states, Canada and Canada.Puerto Rico.
Logo Signs. We sell advertising space on logo signs located near highway exits.
| | |
| | • | Logo signsgenerally advertise nearby gas, food, camping, lodging and other attractions. |
| |
| | • | We are the largest provider of logo signs in the United States, operating 1921 of the 2527 privatized state logo sign contracts. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we operated over 98,00093,500 logo sign advertising displays in 1921 states and Canada. |
Transit Advertising Displays. We also sell advertising space on the exterior and interior of public transportation vehicles, transit shelters and benches in approximately 70over 60 markets. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we operated approximately 30,000over 26,700 transit advertising displays in 1716 states, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Corporate History
We have been in operation since 1902. We completed a reorganization on July 20, 1999 that created our current holding company structure. At that time, the operating company (then called Lamar Advertising Company) was renamed Lamar Media Corp., and all of the operating company’s stockholders became stockholders of a new holding company. The new holding company then took the Lamar Advertising Company name, and Lamar Media Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company.

Operating Strategies
We strive to be a leading provider of outdoor advertising services in each of the markets that we serve, and our operating strategies for achieving that goal include:
Continuing to Provide High Quality Local Sales and Service. We seek to identify and closely monitor the needs of our customers and to provide them with a full complement of high quality advertising services. Local advertising constituted approximately 81%79% of our net revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, which management believes is higher than the industry average. We believe that the experience of our regional and local managers has contributed greatly to our success. For example, our regional managers have been with us for an average of 2628 years. In an effort to provide high quality sales and service at the local level, we employed approximately 840over 750 local account executives as of SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2009. Local account executives are typically supported by additional local staff and have the ability to draw upon the resources of the central office, as well as offices in our other markets, in the event business opportunities or customers’ needs support such an allocation of resources.
Continuing a Centralized Control and Decentralized Management Structure. Our management believes that, for our particular business, centralized control and a decentralized organization provide for greater economies of scale and are more responsive to local market demands. Therefore, we maintain centralized accounting and financial control over our local operations, but theour local managers are responsible for theday-to-day operations in each local market and are compensated according to that market’s financial performance.
Continuing to Focus on Internal Growth. Within our existing markets, we seek to increase our revenue and improve our cash flow by employing highly-targeted local marketing efforts to improve our display occupancy rates and by increasing advertising rates where and when demand can absorb rate increases. Our local offices spearhead this effort and respond to local customer demands quickly.
In addition, we routinely invest in upgrading our existing displays and constructing new displays. From January 1, 1997 to SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we invested approximately $1.1$1.4 billion in improvements to our existing displays and in constructing new displays. Our regular improvement and expansion of our advertising display inventory allow us to provide high quality service to our current advertisers and to attract new advertisers.
Continuing to Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We intend to enhance our growth by continuing to pursue strategic acquisitions that result in increased operating efficiencies, greater geographic diversification, increased market penetration and opportunities for inter-market cross-selling. In addition to acquiring outdoor advertising assets in new markets, we acquire complementary outdoor advertising assets within existing markets and in contiguous markets. We have a proven track record of integrating acquired outdoor advertising businesses and assets. Since January 1, 1997, we have successfully completed over 800 acquisitions, including approximately 280 acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $717 million from January 1, 2004 to September 30, 2007. Although the advertising industry is becoming more consolidated, we believe acquisition opportunities still exist, given the industry’s continued fragmentation among smaller advertising companies.
Continuing to Pursue Other Outdoor Advertising Opportunities. We plan to pursue additional logo sign contracts. Logo sign opportunities arise periodically, both from states initiating new logo sign programs and states converting from government-owned and operated programs to privately-owned and operated programs. Furthermore, we plan to pursue additional tourist oriented directional sign programs in both the Untied States and Canada and also other motorist information signing programs as opportunities present themselves. In an effort to maintain market share, we have entered the transit advertising business through the operation of displays on bus shelters, benches and buses in approximately 70over 60 of our advertising markets.
38
Reducing operating expenditures in light of the economic downturn. We intend to significantly reduce operating and capital expenditures in 2009 to position our company to manage through the current recession and to ensure that we are well positioned for a recovery in the general economy. Although we have historically invested in strategic acquisitions, we are planning to significantly reduce acquisition activity during 2009.
Company Operations
Billboard Advertising
We sell most of our advertising space on two types of billboardsbillboard advertising displays: bulletins and posters. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we owned and operated approximately 151,000153,000 billboard advertising displays in 44 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. In 2006,the six months ended June 30, 2009, we derived approximately 74%72% of our billboard advertising net revenues from bulletin sales and 26%28% from poster sales.
38
Bulletinsare large, advertising structures (the most common size is fourteen feet high by forty-eight feet wide, or 672 square feet) consisting of panels on which advertising copy is displayed. We wrap advertising copy printed with computer-generated graphics on a single sheet of vinyl around the structure. To attract more attention, some of the panels may extend beyond the linear edges of the display face and may include three-dimensional embellishments. Because of their greater impact and higher cost, bulletins are usually located on major highways and target vehicular traffic. At SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we operated approximately 73,00070,000 bulletins.
We generally sell individually-selected bulletin space to advertisers for the duration of the contract (usually six to twelve months). We also sell bulletins as part of a rotary plan under which we rotate the advertising copy from one bulletin location to another within a particular market at stated intervals (usually every sixty to ninety days) to achieve greater reach within that market.
Postersare slightly smaller advertising structures (the most common size is twelve feet high by twenty-five feet wide, or 300 square feet; we also operate junior posters, which are six feet high by twelve feet wide, or 72 square feet). There are two kinds of advertising copy we use on posters. The first consists of lithographed or silk-screened paper sheets supplied by the advertiser that we paste and apply like wallpaper to the face of the display, and the second consists of single sheets of vinyl with computer-generated advertising copy that we wrap around the structure. Posters are concentrated on major traffic arteries and target vehicular traffic, and junior posters are concentrated on city streets and targethard-to-reach pedestrian traffic and nearby residents. Posters provide advertisers with access to either a specified percentage of the general population or a specific targeted audience. At SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we operated approximately 78,00083,000 posters.
We generally sell poster space for thirty- andninety-daysixty-day periods in packages called “showings,” which comprise a given number of displays in a specified market area. We place and spread out the displays making up a showing in well-traveled areas to reach a wide audience in the particular market.
In addition to the traditional displays described above, we have also begun deployingsell digital billboards. Digital billboards are large electronic light emitting diode (LED) displays (the most common sizes are fourteen feet high by forty feet wide, or 560 square feet; ten and a half feet high by thirty six feet wide, or 378 square feet; and ten feet high by twenty-one feet wide, or 210 square feet) that are generally located on major traffic arteries and city streets. Digital billboards are capable of generating over one billion colors and vary in brightness based on ambient conditions. They display completely digital advertising copy from various advertisers in a slide show fashion, rotating each advertisement roughlyapproximately every 6 to 78 seconds. We give digital advertisers flexibility to change their advertising copy quickly by sending new artwork over a secured internet connection. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we operated approximately 6001,125 digital billboards in approximately 118various markets.
We own the physical structures on which the advertising copy is displayed. We build the structures on locations we either own or lease. In each local office one employee typically performs site leasing activities for the markets served by that office.
In the majority of our markets, our local production staffs perform the full range of activities required to create and install billboard advertising displays. Production work includes creating the advertising copy design and layout, coordinating its printing and installing the designs on the displays. We provide our production services to local advertisers and to advertisers that are not represented by advertising agencies, as most national advertisers represented by advertising agencies use preprinted designs that require only our installation. Our talented design staff usesstate-of-the-art technology to prepare creative, eye-catching displays

for our customers. We can also help with the strategic placement of advertisements throughout an advertiser’s market by using software that allows us to analyze the target audience and its demographics. Our artists also assist in developing marketing presentations, demonstrations and strategies to attract new customers.
In marketing billboard displays to advertisers, we compete with other forms ofout-of-home advertising and other media. When selecting the media and provider through which to advertise, advertisers consider a number of factors and advertising providers which are described in the section entitled “— Competition” below.

Logo Sign Advertising
We entered the logo sign advertising business in 1988 and have become the largest provider of logo sign services in the United States, operating 1921 of the 2527 privatized state logo contracts. We erect logo signs, which generally advertise nearby gas, food, camping, lodging and other attractions, and directional signs, which direct vehicle traffic to nearby services and tourist attractions, near highway exits. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we operated approximately 29,000over 30,000 logo sign structures containing over 98,00093,500 logo advertising displays in the United States and Canada.
We operate the logo sign contracts in the following states and the province of Ontario, Canada:

We also operate the tourist oriented directional signing (“TODS”) programs for the states of Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia and New Jersey, and the province of Ontario, Canada.
Our logo and TODS operations are decentralized. Generally, each office is staffed with an experienced local general manager, a local sales and office staff and a local signingsub-contractor. This decentralization allows the management staff of Interstate Logos, L.L.C. (the Lamar Media subsidiary that operates all of the logo and directional sign-related businesses) to travel extensively to the various operations and serve in a technical and management advisory capacity and monitor regulatory and contract compliance. We also run a silk screening operation in Baton Rouge, LALouisiana and a display construction company in Atlanta, Georgia.
State logo sign contracts represent the exclusive right to erect and operate logo signs within a state for a period of time. The terms of the contracts vary, but generally range from five to ten years, with additional renewal terms. Each logo sign contract generally allows the state to terminate the contract prior to its expiration and, in most cases, with compensation for the termination to be paid to us. When a logo sign contract expires, we transfer ownership of the advertising structures to the state. Depending on the contract, we may or may not be entitled to compensation at that time. Of our 19twenty-two logo sign contracts in place, in the United States and Canada, at SeptemberJune 30, 2007, four are due2009, one is subject to terminaterenewal in 2008.2009.
States usually award new logo sign contracts and renew expiring logo sign contracts through an open proposal process. In bidding for new and renewal contracts, we compete against three other national logo sign providers, as well as local companies based in the state soliciting proposals.
In marketing logo signs to advertisers, we compete with other forms ofout-of-home advertising and other media. When selecting the media and provider through which to advertise, advertisers consider a number of factors and advertising providers which are described in the section entitled “— Competition”— “Competition” below.

Transit Advertising
We entered into the transit advertising business in 1993 as a way to complement our existing business and maintain market share in certain markets. We provide transit advertising displays on bus shelters, benches and buses in approximately 70over 60 transit markets, and our production staff provides a full range of creative and installation services to our transit advertising customers. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, we operated approximately 30,000over 26,700 transit advertising displays in 1716 states, Canada and Canada.Puerto Rico.
Municipalities usually award new transit advertising contracts and renew expiring transit advertising contracts through an open bidding process. In bidding for new and renewal contracts, we compete against

When selecting the media and provider through which to advertise, advertisers consider a number of factors and advertising providers which are described in the section entitled “— Competition”— “Competition” below.
Competition
Although the outdoor advertising industry has encountered a wave of consolidation, the industry remains fragmented. The industry is comprised of several large outdoor advertising and media companies with operations in multiple markets, as well as smaller, and local companies operating a limited number of structures in one or a few local markets.
Although we primarily focus on small to mid-size markets where we can attain a strong market share, in each of our markets, we compete against other providers of outdoor advertising and other types of media, including:
| | |
| | • | Larger outdoor advertising providers, such as (i) Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., which operates billboards, street furniture displays, transit displays and otherout-of-home advertising displays in North America and worldwide and (ii) CBS Outdoor, a division of CBS Corporation, which operates traditional outdoor, street furniture and transit advertising properties in North America and worldwide. Clear Channel Outdoor and CBS Outdoor each have corporate relationships with large media conglomerates and may have greater total resources, product offerings and opportunities for cross-selling than we do. |
| |
| | • | Other forms of media, such as broadcast and cable television, radio, print media, direct mail marketing, telephone directories and the Internet. |
| |
| | • | An increasing variety ofout-of-home advertising media, such as advertising displays in shopping centers, malls, airports, stadiums, movie theaters and supermarkets and advertising displays on taxis, trains and buses. |
In selecting the form of media through which to advertise, advertisers evaluate their ability to target audiences having a specific demographic profile, lifestyle, brand or media consumption or purchasing behavior or audiences located in, or traveling through, a particular geography. Advertisers also compare the relative costs of available media, evaluating the number of impressions (potential viewings), exposure (the opportunity for advertising to be seen) and circulation (traffic volume in a market), as well as potential effectiveness, quality of related services (such as advertising copy design and layout) and customer service. In competing with other media, we believe that outdoor advertising is relatively more cost-efficient than other media, allowing advertisers to reach broader audiences and target specific geographic areas or demographics groups within markets.
We believe that our strong emphasis on sales and customer service and our position as a major provider of advertising services in each of our primary markets enables us to compete effectively with the other outdoor advertising companies, as well as with other media, within those markets.

Regulation
Outdoor advertising is subject to governmental regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Regulations generally restrict the size, spacing, lighting and other aspects of advertising structures and pose a significant barrier to entry and expansion in many markets.
Federal law, principally the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 (the “HBA”), regulates outdoor advertising on federally aided primaryFederal — Aid Primary, Interstate and interstate highways.National Highway Systems roads. The HBA requires states to “effectively control” outdoor advertising along certain Federal-aid highway systems,these roads, and imposes certainmandates a state compliance program and state standards regarding size, spacing lighting and other restrictions.lighting. The HBA requires any state or political subdivision that compels the removal of a lawful billboard along a federally-aided primaryFederal — Aid Primary or interstateInterstate highway to pay just compensation to the billboard operator.owner.
All states have passed billboard control statutes and regulations at least as restrictive as the federal requirements, including laws requiring the removal of illegal signs at the owner’s expense (and without compensation from the state). Although we believe that the number of our billboards that may be subject to removal as illegal is immaterial, and no state in which we operate has banned billboards entirely, from time to time governments have required us to remove signs and billboards legally erected in accordance with federal, state and local permit requirements and laws. Municipal and county governments generally also have sign controls as part of their zoning laws and building codes. We contest laws and regulations that we believe unlawfully restrict our constitutional or other legal rights and may adversely impact the growth of our outdoor advertising business.
Using federal funding for transportation enhancement programs, state governments have purchased and removed billboards for beautification, and may do so again in the future. Under the power of eminent domain, state or municipal governments have laid claim to property and forced the removal of billboards. Under a concept called amortization by which a governmental body asserts that a billboard operator has earned compensation by continued operation over time, local governments have attempted to force removal of legal but nonconforming billboards (i.e., billboards that conformed with applicable zoning regulations when built but which do not conform to current zoning regulations). Although the legality of amortization is questionable, it has been upheld in some instances. Often, municipal and county governments also have sign controls as part of their zoning laws, with some local governments prohibiting construction of new billboards or allowing new construction only to replace existing structures.
42
Although we have generally been able to obtain satisfactory compensation for those of our billboards purchased or removed as a result of governmental action, there is no assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future. The
42
We have also introduced and intend to expand the deployment of digital billboards that display static digital advertising copy from various advertisers that change every 6 to 8 seconds. We have encountered some existing regulations that restrict or prohibit these types of digital displays but it has not yet materially impacted our digital deployment. Since digital billboards have only recently been developed and introduced into the market on a large scale, however, existing regulations that currently do not apply to them by their terms could be revised to impose greater restrictions. These regulations may impose greater restrictions on digital billboards due to alleged concerns over aesthetics or driver safety.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business, including disputes involving advertising contracts, site leases, employment claims and construction matters. We are also involved in routine administrative and judicial proceedings regarding billboard permits, fees and compensation for condemnations. We are not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
Properties
Our 53,500 square foot management headquarters is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We occupy approximately 97% of the space in the headquarters and lease the remaining space. We own 118 local operating facilities with front office administration and sales office space connected to back-shop poster and bulletin production space. In addition, we lease an additional 129 operating facilities at an aggregate lease expense for 2008 of approximately $6.9 million.
We own approximately 6,800 parcels of property beneath our advertising structures. As of December 31, 2008, we leased approximately 84,000 active outdoor sites, accounting for a total annual lease expense of approximately $221.3 million. This amount represented approximately 18.5% of total advertising industrynet revenues for that period. These leases are for varying terms ranging frommonth-to-month to a term of over ten years, and many provide us with renewal options. There is heavily regulated, and at various times and in various markets can be expected to beno significant concentration of displays under any one lease or subject to varying degreesnegotiation with any one landlord.

Accordingly, although we believe we canour management activity is to manage our operations in the regulatory environment, no assurance can be given that existing or future laws or regulations will not materiallylease portfolio and adversely affect us.negotiate suitable lease renewals and extensions.
Employees
We employed approximately 3,3003,100 people as of SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2009. Approximately 160 employees were engaged in overall management and general administration at our management headquarters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the remainder, including approximately 840over 750 local account executives, were employed in our operating offices.
ThirteenFourteen of our local offices employ billposters and construction personnel who are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relationship with our employees, including our 123124 unionized employees, is good, and we have never experienced a strike or work stoppage.
Inflation
In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on us.
Seasonality
Our revenues and operating results are subject to seasonality. Typically, we experience our strongest financial performance in the summer and fall, and our weakest financial performance in the first quarter of the calendar year, partly because retailers cut back their advertising spending immediately following the holiday shopping season. We expect this trend to continue in the future. Because a significant portion of our expenses is fixed, a reduction in revenues in any quarter is likely to result in aperiod-to-period decline in operating performance and net earnings.

The following discussion and tables set forth certain compensation information for our Chief Executive Officer and each of our other executive officers for their positions with Lamar Advertising. We do not pay any additional compensation for their positions with us.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Lamar Advertising’s Compensation Committee has responsibility for establishing, implementing and maintaining the compensation program for Lamar Advertising’s executive officers. For the purposes of this proxy statement, the term “executive officers” means Lamar Advertising’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, all of whom currently serve in those capacities and did so during fiscal 2006. These executive officers are referredwe refer to herein as “namedthe executive officers”officers or “NEOs.the “named

executive officers.” Specifically, thisThis Compensation Discussion and Analysis sets forth the objectives and material elements of the compensation for Lamar Advertising’s NEOspaid to the named executive officers for fiscal 2006.2008.
Executive Compensation Philosophy
The primary objective of Lamar Advertising’s executive compensation program is to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to ourits long-term success and to maintainsuccess. We believe this requires a competitive compensation structure as compared withto similarly situated companies both in the media industry as well as general industryand other companies that are our peers in terms of our annual revenues. Additionally, Lamar Advertising seeks to align a significant portion of executive officer compensation to the achievement of specified company performance goals. Incentive cash bonuses are included to drive executive performance by having pay at risk so that totala significant portion of potential cash compensation is tied to goal achievement. Lamar Advertising also introduced aincludes performance-based equity grant componentgrants as a significant partcomponent of potentialprospective executive compensation in 2006 to tieso that the value of thata portion of executive compensation is tied directly to the performance of Lamar Advertising’s Class A common stock.Common Stock. In addition, the Compensation Committee instituted in 2008 a discretionary bonus program. This program was adopted as an acknowledgement that compensation might be warranted for reasons outside the scope of the performance metrics used in the Lamar Advertising’s incentive programs.
Use of Compensation Consultants and Peer Group Data
To assist Lamar Advertising’s Compensation Committee did not consult with any compensation consultants in executingconjunction with its executive officer compensation policy, thedeterminations for fiscal 2008. The Committee had previously retained Hewitt Associates LLC, a nationally recognized compensation consulting firm, to review itsLamar Advertising’s compensation levels relative to external market practices and to develop suggestions for a performance-based annual incentive program that would tie compensation to enumerated performance goals.
Hewitt compiled survey data on a peer group of companies consisting of Following this analysis, the following: Arbitron Inc, Cablevision Systems Corp., Catalina Marketing Corp., Charter Communications, Inc., Citadel Broadcasting Corp., Clear Channel Communications Inc., Corus Entertainment Inc., Cox Radio Inc., Cumulus Media Inc., Echostar Communications Corp., EMAK Worldwide Inc., Harte Hanks Inc., Hearst-Argyle Television Inc., Interpublic Group of Cos. Inc., MDC Partners Inc., Omnicon Group Inc., R. H. Donnelley Corp., Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc., Valassis Communications Inc. and Viacom Inc./CBS Corporation. Lamar Advertising’s Compensation Committee used this survey data to gauge whether each element ofdeveloped the framework for executive compensation for 2006 accomplished its objective of maintaining a competitive compensation structure as compared with similar positionsinitially used in similarly situated companies. The Committee did not, however, seek to set executive officer compensation to a specific percentile of the range of total compensation represented by this group. Rather,fiscal 2006; the Committee usedcontinued to use this data to informbasic framework when making its decisions regarding total executive compensation.compensation determinations for fiscal 2008.
Material Elements of Executive Officer Compensation
The key elements of NEO compensation for Lamar Advertising’s executive officers are: base salaries;salaries, performance-based cash incentive awards, and performance-based equity awards and discretionary cash bonus awards. Executives may also participate, on the same terms as all other employees, in a 401(k) retirement savings plan and health and welfare benefits.
Base Salary. Lamar Advertising pays a base salary to each of its NEOs.named executive officers. The objective of base salary is to provide basea fixed component of cash compensation to the executive that is competitive with the base compensation the executive could earn in similar positions at comparable companies. Base paysalary for NEOsLamar Advertising’s named executive officers is reviewed annually in light of market
45
compensation, tenure, individual performance and other subjective considerations. Typically the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with regard to base paysalary for the executive officers that he believes are justified in light of these considerations. InThe Committee did not obtain an update to the peer group information used as part of its 2006 compensation process as it does not seek to set executive officer compensation to a specific percentile of the range of total compensation represented by this group.
The Compensation Committee reviewed the current base salaries in the context of the Lamar Advertising’s performance and each executive’s individual performance as assessed by the Committee also based its determinations on the recommendations of Hewitt Associates based on its analysis of market data. During the course of its review, Hewitt also interviewed management, includingafter discussion (except with respect to his own individual performance) with the Chief Executive Officer, to inform its final recommendations.
For 2006,Officer. The Committee also looked at 2008 base salaries in the Compensationcontext of the overall economic environment. As a result, the Committee determined that no increases be made to the annual base salary for each executive officer should be increased forsalaries that were set in fiscal 2006 largely as a result of the market data, which indicated that Lamar Advertising’s executives (its Chief Executive Officer in particular) were receiving base compensation significantly lower than their peers, but also in light of the executive’s respective performance, tenure and responsibilities.continued through fiscal 2007.
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation. In February 2006, the Committee instituted anLamar Advertising’s incentive compensation program for executive officers. The Committee reviewed various alternatives provided by Hewitt with respect to possible incentive compensation structures. The Committee reviewed these proposals and recommendations from management in order to formulate a program tailored to the goals of Lamar Advertising. The incentive program approved consistedconsists of two types of awards that are granted under Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive
45
“Incentive Plan”): (i) a performance-based incentive cash incentive bonus and (ii) a performance-based incentive equity award. This compensation program was designed by the Committee to achieve the goals of providing incentives to executive officers by linkinglink a significant portion of overall executive officer compensation to the achievement of enumerated performance targets andwhile maximizing Lamar Advertising’s ability to deduct NEOnamed executive officer compensation for tax purposes under IRC Section 162(m) as further discussed below. Inof the Internal Revenue Code. By including ana fixed share equity award as a significant portion of executive compensation, the Committee consideredaggregate value of each executive officer’s compensation is dependant on the fact that equity awards had historically not been a regular or significant componentperformance of executive officer compensation. This was principally due to the fact that Lamar Advertising’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer own a significant stake in Lamar Advertising.Class A Common Stock.
Incentive Cash Bonus. In its annual meeting regarding executive compensation in February, theThe Committee setsets target amounts for the incentive cash bonuses for each of the named executive officers. For 2006, theofficers with corresponding performance goals; these target cash bonus amountamounts for Kevin Reilly, Jr. was set at $400,000 and the target bonuses for Keith Istre and Sean Reilly2008 were both set at $250,000. Under the terms of the incentive plan, eachunchanged from fiscal 2007. Each executive had the opportunity to earn up to 200%150% of the target cash bonus amount based upon the achievement of the specifiedperformance goals that exceeded expectations for company performance goals.in the coming year.
The Committee then approvedWhen setting the performance goals for the executive officer’s incentive cash bonuses for fiscal 2008, the Committee met with management to review current budgets and financial projections along with any current initiatives that tied one-half ofcould impact Lamar Advertising’s anticipated results for the target amount tocoming fiscal year. The Committee believes that the Lamar Advertising’s pro forma net revenue growth and one-halfpro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted for gain or loss on disposition of assets and investments (referred to in this prospectus as “EBITDA”) growth are the appropriate measures on which to base incentive compensation as these measures are the primary measures used by both management and the investor community to evaluate Lamar Advertising’s performance.
The Committee’s goal when determining the specific performance thresholds is to set target (100%) goal achievement at a challenging but achievable level based on the 2008 operating budget in order to provide appropriate incentives for management in the context of the current fiscal year’s projected results and current business plan. For 2008, the Committee also refined the increments that had been used in the 2007 performance grid. The 2008 performance goals for incentive cash bonuses were based on achievement of pro forma revenue growth and pro forma EBITDA growth infor fiscal 20062008 over fiscal 2005 as follows:

In February 2007,2009, the Committee reviewed Lamar Advertising’s performance, andwhich had declined precipitously in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the economic recession. The Committee certified that (i) Lamar Advertising’s pro forma net revenue growth resulted in attainment of 200% of the executive officers’ target bonus, or $400,000 for Kevin Reilly, Jr. and $250,000 for both Keith Istre and Sean Reilly, and (ii) Lamar Advertising’sits pro forma EBITDA growth resulted in attainment of 150% ofno earned cash incentive bonuses for the executive officers’ target bonus, or $300,000officers for Kevin Reilly, Jr. and $187,500 for both Keith Istre and Sean Reilly. These awarded amounts arefiscal 2008, which is reflected below in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the 2008 Summary Compensation Table.Table on page 51 of this prospectus.
Incentive Equity Awards. The Committee also determined the target amount of incentive equity awards for each of the named executive officers at its February 20062008 meeting. These target equity award amounts were set at 44,000 shares for both Kevin Reilly, Jr. and Sean Reilly and at 26,000 shares for Keith Istre. Under the terms of the equity-based incentive plan, each executive had the opportunity to earn up to 100% of the target equity incentive amount based upon the achievement of specified Lamar Advertising performance goals.

Under the terms of Lamar Advertising’s incentive equity award program, no shares of stock are issued unless and until the relevant performance goals have been met and certified by the Compensation Committee. EarnedAny earned shares wereare issued as soon as practicable following such certification and wereare fully vested at the time of issuance. The Committee feels that the use of stock awards as a part of its compensation program aligns executive compensation to the creation of shareholder value but not to such an extent that it would create incentives for executives to focus solely on short term stock appreciation to the exclusion of long term strategy.
The Committee approved performance goals for the executive officer’s equity — based incentive bonuses that tied one-half of the target amount to Lamar Advertising’ssame pro forma net revenue growth and one-half to Lamar Advertising’s pro forma EBITDA growth inmetrics for fiscal 20062008 over fiscal 2005 that mirrored2007 used in the thresholds for achievementcontext of the incentive cash awards (exceptare used to determine the achievement of incentive equity awards, except that there wasis no opportunity to achieve greater than 100% of the target equity award)awards. Therefore, as follows:with incentive cash bonuses, Lamar Advertising’s 2008 performance resulted in levels of pro forma net revenue and pro forma EBITDA that resulted in no earned incentive equity awards for the executive
46
officers for fiscal 2008, which is reflected in the Stock Awards column of the 2008 Summary Compensation Table on page 51 of this prospectus.
The following tables set forth the level of pro forma net revenue and pro forma EBITDA growth required for fiscal 2008 over fiscal 2007 to achieve the stated percentage of target incentive awards for Lamar Advertising’s named executive officers as set by the Committee in March 2008. These goals relate to achievement of both incentive cash and incentive equity awards, except that equity awards cannot exceed their target amount irrespective of goal achievement in excess of the 100% level.

Discretionary Bonus Awards. In 2008, the Committee instituted a discretionary bonus program. This program was adopted to provide for awards of discretionary cash compensation to reward, if applicable, individual performance or successful initiatives during the course of the fiscal year that may not otherwise be captured by Lamar Advertising’s incentive award program. Payment under the discretionary bonus program is not contingent upon the failure to attain the performance goals under the incentive award program. Pursuant to this program, the Committee may grant a cash bonus to any executive officer in an amount up to 30% of such executive officers’ target equitybase salary, in its sole discretion. Any such award or 22,000 sharesis based upon the Committee’s evaluation of each executive officer’s respective 2008 performance. In February 2009, the Committee reviewed each executive officer’s performance. The Committee considered Lamar Advertising’s performance, which was below forecasted amounts due to the impact of the worsening economic recession on advertising sales, and the actions instituted by management in the fourth quarter of 2008 to adapt and prepare for bothfiscal 2009 in an unstable and uncertain economic environment.
After consideration of these factors and in line with cash bonus awards being made to Lamar Advertising’s non-executive officers, the Committee awarded discretionary bonuses equal to 80% of each officer’s respective maximum discretionary bonus. These awards resulted in cash bonuses being paid to Kevin P. Reilly Jr., Keith A. Istre and Sean E. Reilly and 13,000 shares for Keith Istre. These awards are reflected in below in the Stock Awards columnamounts of the Summary Compensation Table.$168,000, $108,000 and $120,000, respectively.
Other Compensation Components
Perquisites. Lamar Advertising provides certain perquisites to Lamar Advertising’sits executive officers, including use of the Lamar Advertising’s aircraft and a company car. Lamar Advertising’s executive officers are entitled to use ourthe company aircraft, as well as an additional aircraft that was leased by Lamar AdvertisingAdvertising’s during fiscal 2008 for business purposes, and family members are allowed to accompany executive officers on the aircraft at the executive’s discretion. Lamar Advertising’s executive officers also have access to company aircraft for personal travel. These perquisites provide flexibility to the executives and increase travel efficiencies, allowing more
48
productive use of executive time. More detail on these perquisites and other perquisites provided to Lamar Advertising’s executive officers may be found below in the 2008 Summary Compensation Table.
Deferred Compensation. Lamar Advertising has a deferred compensation plan for certain officers. Under this plan, officers who meet certain yearyears of service and other criteria are eligible to receive company contributions into their accounts in the Lamar Deferred Compensation Plan. Officers do not have the option of deferring any portion of their earned cash compensation through additional voluntary contributions to the plan. Due to the worsening economic conditions, Lamar Advertising did not contribute to any employee deferred compensation accounts for fiscal 2008 and, therefore, no contributions were made with respect to executive officers.
The deferred compensation plan is not funded by Lamar Advertising, and participants have an unsecured contractual commitment from Lamar Advertisingus to pay the amounts due under the deferred compensation plan. When payments under the plan are due, the cash will befunds are distributed from itsLamar Advertising’s general assets. Lamar Advertising does not offer preferential earnings on deferred compensation. Deferred compensation is intended as a long-term savings vehicle for executive officers especially sincein light of the fact that Lamar Advertising does not offer any traditional pension or defined benefit plan. The Compensation Committee does not consider deferred compensation accounts when setting executive pay levels, since this represents compensation that has previously been earned and individual accounts are a function of personal investment choices and market-based earnings.
Tax Implications
United States tax laws generally do not allow publicly-held companies to obtain tax deductions for compensation of more than $1one million dollars paid in any year to any of the chiefprincipal executive officer and the next fourthree highest paid executive officers (other than the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer) (each, a “covered employee”) unless the compensation is “performance-based” as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).
Stock options granted under an equity compensation plan are performance-based compensation if (a) stockholders approve a maximum aggregate per person limit on the number of shares that may be granted each year, (b) any stock options are granted by a committee consisting solely of outside directors, and (c) the stock options have an exercise price that is not less than the fair value of common stock on the date of grant.
In the case of restricted stock, restricted stock units and unrestricted stock issuable upon achievement of performance goals, Section 162(m) requires that the general business criteria of any performance goals that are established by the Compensation Committee be approved and periodically reapproved by stockholders (generally, every five years) in order for such awards to be considered performance-based and deductible by the employer. Generally, the performance goals must be established before the beginning of the relevant performance period. Furthermore, satisfaction of any performance goals during the relevant performance period must be certified by the Compensation Committee.
Lamar Advertising’s Compensation Committee has designed the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan with the intention of satisfying Section 162(m) with respect to stock options, incentive stock awards and incentive cash awards granted to covered employees. In making determinations with respect to specific incentive awards for covered employees, the Committee considers whether such awards will be deductible under Section 162(m) with a view to maximizing deductibility to the extent feasible and consistent with Lamar Advertising’s overall compensation goals and objectives.
Payments Upon Termination or Change – in-ControlChange-in-Control
Neither we nor Lamar Advertising have employment agreements or other agreements with any of our or its executive officers that entitle them to payments upon termination or in the event of a change in control.

Purpose and Effect of Exchange Offer
We sold the outstanding notes on October 11, 2007March 27, 2009 in an unregistered private placement to certain initial purchasers. As part of that offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers. Under the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, to offer to exchange the outstanding notes for exchange notes in an offering registered under the Securities Act. This exchange offering satisfies that obligation. We also agreed to perform other obligations under that registration rights agreement. See “Registration Rights Agreement.”
By participating in the exchange offer, holders of outstanding notes will receive exchange notes that are freely tradable and not subject to restrictions on transfer, subject to the exceptions described under “— Resale of Exchange Notes” immediately below. In addition, holders of exchange notes generally will not be entitled to additional interest.
Resale of Exchange Notes
We believe that the exchange notes issued in exchange for the outstanding notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any new noteholder without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act if the conditions set forth below are met. We base this belief solely on interpretations of the federal securities laws by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission set forth in several no-action letters issued to third parties unrelated to us. Ano-action letter is a letter from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission responding to a request for the staff’s views as to whether it would recommend any enforcement action to the Division of Enforcement of the Commission with respect to certain actions being proposed by the party submitting the request. We have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, our own no-action letter from the Commission
56
regarding the resale of the exchange notes. Instead, holders will be relying on the no-action letters that the Commission has issued to third parties in circumstances that we believe are similar to ours. Based on these no-action letters, the following conditions must be met:
| | |
| | • | the holder must acquire the exchange notes in the ordinary course of its business; |
| |
| | • | the holder must have no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act; and |
57
| | |
| | • | the holder must not be our “affiliate,” as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. |
Each holder of outstanding notes that wishes to exchange outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer must represent to us that it satisfies all of the above listed conditions. Any holder who tenders in the exchange offer who does not satisfy all of the above listed conditions:
| | |
| | • | cannot rely on the position of the Commission set forth in the no-action letters referred to above; and |
| |
| | • | must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a resale of the exchange notes. |
The Commission considers broker-dealers that acquired outstanding notes directly from us, but not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, to be making a distribution of the exchange notes if they participate in the exchange offer. Consequently, these holders must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a resale of the exchange notes.
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes acquired by that broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities must deliver a prospectus in connection with a resale of the exchange notes and provide us with a signed acknowledgement of this obligation. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus, as amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for outstanding notes where the broker-dealer acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be considered to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. We have agreed that for a period of 180 days after the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to broker-dealers for use in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.
Except as described in the prior paragraph, holders may not use this prospectus for an offer to resell, a resale or other retransfer of exchange notes. We are not making this exchange offer to, nor will we accept tenders for exchange from, holders of outstanding notes in any jurisdiction in which the exchange offer or the acceptance of it would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of that jurisdiction.
Terms of the Exchange
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, which we refer to together in this prospectus as the “exchange offer,” we will accept any and all outstanding notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue, on or promptly after the expiration date, an aggregate principal amount of up to $275$350 million of exchange notes for a like principal amount of outstanding notes tendered and accepted in connection with the exchange offer. Holders may tender some or all of their outstanding notes in connection with the exchange offer, but only in integral multiples of $1,000. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of outstanding notes being tendered for exchange.
The terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the outstanding notes, except that:
| | |
| | • | we have registered the exchange notes under the Securities Act and therefore these notes will not bear legends restricting their transfer; and |
57
| | |
| | • | specified rights under the registration rights agreement, including the provisions providing for payment of additional interest in specified circumstances relating to the exchange offer, will be limited or eliminated. |
The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes. The exchange notes will be issued under the same indenture and entitled to the same benefits under that indenture as the outstanding notes being exchanged. As of the date of this prospectus, $275$350 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes were outstanding. Outstanding notes accepted for exchange will be retired and cancelled and will not be reissued.
58
In connection with the issuance of the outstanding notes, we arranged for the outstanding notes originally purchased by qualified institutional buyers to be issued and transferable in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC, acting as depositary. Except as described under “— Book-Entry Transfer,” we will issue the exchange notes in the form of a global note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, and each beneficial owner’s interest in it will be transferable in book-entry form through DTC.
Holders of outstanding notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission.
We will be considered to have accepted validly tendered outstanding notes if and when we have given oral or written notice to that effect to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us.
If we do not accept any tendered outstanding notes for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of the other events described in this prospectus or otherwise, we will return these outstanding notes, without expense, to the tendering holder as quickly as possible after the expiration date of the exchange offer.
Holders who tender outstanding notes will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes on exchange of outstanding notes in connection with the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than the applicable taxes described under “— Fees and Expenses,” in connection with the exchange offer.
If we successfully complete the exchange offer, any outstanding notes which holders do not tender or which we do not accept in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest. The holders of outstanding notes after the exchange offer in general will not have further rights under the registration rights agreement, including registration rights and any rights to additional interest. Holders wishing to transfer the outstanding notes would have to rely on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments
The expiration date for the exchange offer is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2008.September 9, 2009. We may extend this expiration date in our sole discretion, but in no event to a date later than April 18, 2008,October 3, 2009, unless otherwise required by applicable law. If we so extend the expiration date, the term “expiration date” shall mean the latest date and time to which we extend the exchange offer.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:
| | |
| | • | to delay accepting any outstanding notes, for example, in order to allow for the confirmation of tendered notes or for the rectification of any irregularity or defect in the tender of outstanding notes; |
| |
| | • | to extend the exchange offer; |
| |
| | • | to terminate the exchange offer if, in our sole judgment, any of the conditions described below shall not have been satisfied; or |
| |
| | • | to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. |
58
We will give notice by press release or other written public announcement of any delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent. In addition, we will give, as promptly as practicable, oral or written notice regarding any delay in acceptance, extension or termination of the offer to the registered holders of outstanding notes. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, or if we waive a material condition, we will promptly disclose the amendment or waiver in a manner reasonably calculated to notify the holders of outstanding notes of the amendment or waiver, and extend the offer as required by law to cause the exchange offer to remain open for at least five business days following such notice.
59
Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcements of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination, amendment or waiver regarding the exchange offer, we shall have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any public announcement, other than by making a timely release to a financial news service.
Interest on the Exchange Notes
Interest on the exchange notes will accrue at the rate of 6953/84% per annum on the principal amount, payable semiannually on February 15April 1 and August 15,October 1, beginning February 15, 2008.October 1, 2009. Interest on the exchange notes will accrue from the date of issuance of the outstanding notes or the date of the last periodic payment of interest on such outstanding notes, whichever is later.
Conditions to the Exchange Offer
Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange notes for, any outstanding notes and we may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus, if:
| | |
| | • | the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder, violates, in our good faith determination, any applicable law, rule or regulation or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the Commission; |
| |
| | • | any action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened with respect to the exchange offer which, in our reasonable judgment, would impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or |
| |
| | • | we have not obtained any governmental approval which we, in our sole discretion, exercised reasonably, consider necessary for the completion of the exchange offer as contemplated by this prospectus. |
The conditions listed above are for our sole benefit. We may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions or waive them in our sole discretion in whole or in part. A failure on our part to exercise any of our rights under any of the conditions shall not constitute a waiver of that right, and that right shall be considered an ongoing right which we may assert at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. All such conditions, other than those subject to governmental approval, will be satisfied or waived prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.
If we determine in our sole discretion, exercised reasonably, that any of the events listed above has occurred, we may, subject to applicable law:
| | |
| | • | refuse to accept any outstanding notes and return all tendered outstanding notes to the tendering holders; |
| |
| | • | extend the exchange offer and retain all outstanding notes tendered before the expiration of the exchange offer, subject, however, to the rights of holders to withdraw these outstanding notes; or |
| |
| | • | waive unsatisfied conditions relating to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered outstanding notes that have not been withdrawn. |
Any determination by us concerning the above events will be final and binding.
59
In addition, we reserve the right in our sole discretion, exercised reasonably, to:
| | |
| | • | purchase or make offers for any outstanding notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the expiration date; and |
| |
| | • | to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase outstanding notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. |
The terms of any purchases or offers may differ from the terms of the exchange offer. Those purchases may require the consent of the lenders under our new bank credit facility.
60
Procedures for Tendering
Except in limited circumstances, only a Euroclear participant, Clearstream participant or DTC participant listed on a DTC securities position listing with respect to the outstanding notes may tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer. To tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer:
| | |
| | • | holders of outstanding notes that are DTC participants may follow the procedures for book-entry transfer as set forth under “— Book-Entry Transfer” and in the letter of transmittal; or |
| |
| | • | Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants on behalf of the beneficial owners of outstanding notes are required to use book-entry transfer pursuant to the standard operating procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream. These procedures include the transmission of a computer-generated message to Euroclear or Clearstream in lieu of a letter of transmittal. See the description of “agent’s message” under “— Book-Entry Transfer.” |
In addition, you must comply with one of the following:
| | |
| | • | the exchange agent must receive, before expiration of the exchange offer, a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream according to their respective standard operating procedures for electronic tenders and a properly transmitted agent’s message as described below; or |
| |
| | • | the exchange agent must receive any corresponding certificate or certificates representing outstanding notes along with the letter of transmittal; or |
| |
| | • | the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. |
The tender by a holder of outstanding notes will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal. If less than all the outstanding notes held by a holder are tendered, the tendering holder should fill in the amount of outstanding notes being tendered in the specified box on the letter of transmittal. The entire amount of outstanding notes delivered or transferred to the exchange agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.
The method of delivery of outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents or transmission of an agent’s message, as described under “— Book-Entry Transfer,” to the exchange agent is at the election and risk of the holder. Instead of delivery by mail, we recommend that holders use an overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery to the exchange agent prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. No letter of transmittal or outstanding notes should be sent to us, DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream. Delivery of documents to DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with their respective procedures will not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.
Any beneficial holder whose outstanding notes are registered in the name of his or its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct it to tender on the beneficial holder’s behalf. If any beneficial holder wishes to tender on its own behalf, it must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering its outstanding notes, either:
| | |
| | • | make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the outstanding notes in its name; or |
| |
| | • | obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. |
60
The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time and may not be completed prior to the expiration date.
Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as described in “Withdrawal of Tenders,” must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an “eligible guarantor institution,” within the meaning ofRule 17Ad-15 under the
61
Exchange Act, which we refer to in this prospectus as an “eligible institution,” unless the outstanding notes are tendered:
| | |
| | • | by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or |
| |
| | • | for the account of an eligible institution. |
If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any outstanding notes listed therein, the outstanding notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers which authorize the person to tender the outstanding notes on behalf of the registered holder, in either case signed as the name of the registered holder or holders appears on the outstanding notes. If the letter of transmittal or any outstanding notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing and, unless waived by us, evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.
We will determine in our sole discretion, exercised reasonably, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance and withdrawal of tendered outstanding notes. We reserve the absolute right to reasonably reject any and all outstanding notes not properly tendered or any outstanding notes whose acceptance by us would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects or irregularities as to any particular outstanding notes. Our interpretation of the form and procedures for tendering outstanding notes in the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, holders must cure any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding notes within a period we will determine. Although we intend to request the exchange agent to notify holders of defects or irregularities relating to tenders of outstanding notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will have any duty or incur any liability for failure to give this notification. We will not consider tenders of outstanding notes to have been made until these defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. The exchange agent will return any outstanding notes that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the expiration date.
In addition, we reserve the right, as set forth under “— Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” to terminate the exchange offer.
By tendering, each holder represents to us, among other things, that:
| | |
| | • | the holder acquired exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer in the ordinary course of its business; |
| |
| | • | the holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act; and |
| |
| | • | the holder is not our “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. |
If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes acquired by the broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, the holder must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.
61
Book-Entry Transfer
We understand that the exchange agent will make a request promptly after the date of this prospectus to establish accounts with respect to the outstanding notes at DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream for the purpose of facilitating the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may makebook-entry delivery of outstanding notes by causing DTC to transfer the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s DTC account in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for the transfer. Any
62
participant in Euroclear or Clearstream may make book-entry delivery of outstanding notes by causing Euroclear or Clearstream to transfer the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account in accordance with established Euroclear or Clearstream procedures for transfer. The exchange of exchange notes for tendered outstanding notes will only be made after a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account and timely receipt by the exchange agent of an agent’s message.
The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, and received by the exchange agent and forming part of the confirmation of a book-entry transfer, which states that DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream has received an express acknowledgment from a participant tendering outstanding notes that the participant has received an appropriate letter of transmittal and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce the agreement against the participant. Delivery of an agent’s message will also constitute an acknowledgment from the tendering DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream participant that the representations contained in the letter of transmittal and described under “— Resale of Exchange Notes” are true and correct.

We will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and its related reasonableout-of-pocket expenses, including accounting and legal fees. We may also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonableout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of this prospectus, letters of transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the outstanding notes and in handling or forwarding tenders for exchange.
63
Holders who tender their outstanding notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes. If, however:
| | |
| | • | exchange notes are to be delivered to, or issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the outstanding notes tendered; or |
64
| | |
| | • | tendered outstanding notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or |
| |
| | • | a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of outstanding notes in connection with the exchange offer; |
then the tendering holder must pay the amount of any transfer taxes due, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons. If the tendering holder does not submit satisfactory evidence of payment of these taxes or exemption from them with the letter of transmittal, the amount of these transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.
Accounting Treatment
The exchange notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the outstanding notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the completion of the exchange offer.
Consequences of Failures to Properly Tender Outstanding Notes in the Exchange
We will issue the exchange notes in exchange for outstanding notes under the exchange offer only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of the outstanding notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore, holders of the outstanding notes desiring to tender outstanding notes in exchange for exchange notes should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. We are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities of tenders of outstanding notes for exchange. Outstanding notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted by us will, following completion of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer under the Securities Act. If we successfully complete the exchange offer, specified rights under the registration rights agreement, including registration rights and any right to additional interest, will be either limited or eliminated.
Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary. In the event the exchange offer is completed, we will not be required to register the remaining outstanding notes. Remaining outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the following restrictions on transfer:
| | |
| | • | holders may resell outstanding notes only if we register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act, if an exemption from registration is available, or if the transaction requires neither registration under nor an exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act; and |
| |
| | • | the remaining outstanding notes will bear a legend restricting transfer in the absence of registration or an exemption. |
We do not currently anticipate that we will register any remaining outstanding notes under the Securities Act. To the extent that outstanding notes are tendered and accepted in connection with the exchange offer, any trading market for remaining outstanding notes could be adversely affected.
DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL INDEBTEDNESS
The following is a description of our material indebtedness, other than the notes. The following summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the credit and security agreements and indentures to which each summary relates, which are included or incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Bank Credit FacilitySenior credit facility
Our banksenior credit facility, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent, consists of a $400.0$200.0 million revolving banksenior credit facility, a $400.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), a $500.0$300.0 million incremental loan facility and an additional $789.0 million in incremental term loans.
65
Incremental Term Loans
In February 2006, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into a Series A Incremental Loan Agreement and borrowed $37.0 million under the incremental term facility (the “Series A Incremental Loan”). In October 2006, we entered into a Series B Incremental Loan Agreement and borrowed $150.0 million under the incremental loan facility (the “Series B Incremental Loan”).
In December 2006, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into a Series C Incremental Loan Agreement and borrowed $20.0 million under the incremental loan facility (the “Series C Incremental Loan”), and in January 2007 we and one of our subsidiaries entered into a Series D Incremental Loan Agreement and borrowed $7.0 million under the incremental loan facility (the “Series D Incremental Loan”).
In March 2007, we entered into (i) a Series E Incremental Loan Agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $250.0 million under the incremental loan facility (the “Series E Incremental Loan”) and (ii) a Series F Incremental Loan Agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $325.0 million under the incremental loan facility (the “Series F Incremental Loan”).
In connection with the borrowing of incremental loans, we have from time to time entered into amendments to our banksenior credit facility to, among other things, restore the amount of the incremental loan facility to $500.0 million (which, under its original terms, would have been reduced by the issuance of the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E and Series F Incremental Loans).
Our lenders have no obligation to make additional loans to us out of the $500.0$300.0 million remaining under our incremental loan facility, but may enter into such commitments at their sole discretion.

Interest
Interest on borrowings under the facilities is calculated, at our option, at a rate equal to either of the following plus the applicable spread above such rate:
| | |
| | • | with respect to base rate borrowings, the “Adjusted Base Rate” which is equal to the higher ofhighest of: the rate publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime lending rate, andor the applicable federal funds rate, plus 0.5%0.50%, or 1.0% plus the greater of (a) 2.00% and (b) the rate at which eurodollar deposits for one month are quoted on Reuters Page LIBOR01 multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (determined based on maximum reserve percentages established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America); or |
| |
| | • | with respect to eurodollar rate borrowings, the rate at which eurodollar deposits for one, two, three or six months (as selected by us), or nine or twelve months with the consent of the lenders, are quoted on the Dow Jones Telerate Screen multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (determined based on maximum reserve percentages established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America). |
The spread applicable to borrowings under the revolving banksenior credit facility, the Term Loan and the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E Incremental Loans is determined by reference to our trailing leverage ratio (total debt to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA, as defined in the banksenior credit facility,facility; see “— Covenants” below). Based on our trailing leverage ratio at SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2009, the spread applicable to borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Term Loan and the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E and Series EF Incremental Loans is 0%2.5% for base rate loans and 1.0%3.5% for eurodollar loans.

Mandatory Prepayments
We have agreed to borrowingsmake annual mandatory prepayments of principal under the Series F Incremental Loanssenior credit facility based on a percentage of the excess cash flow (as defined in Amendment No. 4) for each of our fiscal years. The percentage of excess cash flow to be prepaid is 0.5%determined by reference to our trailing Total Holdings Debt Ratio (total debt of Lamar Advertising and its restricted subsidiaries to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA). The initial percentage of excess cash flow to be prepaid is 100%.
With respect to the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2009, the excess cash flow prepayment is applied first to prepay our revolving credit facility (without reduction of commitments) up to approximately $107 million and the balance, if any, to the prepayment of the term loan facility and incremental loan facilities. For fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2010, the excess cash flow prepayment is applied to our term loan facility and our incremental loan facilities, ratably.
As defined in Amendment No. 4, excess cash flow is, for base rate loansany fiscal year, EBITDA of Lamar Advertising and 1.50%its restricted subsidiaries, less the sum of: debt service for eurodollar loans.such fiscal year, unfinanced capital expenditures made during such fiscal year, tax payments made in cash during such fiscal year, amounts dividended by us to Lamar Advertising during such fiscal year to enable Lamar Advertising to make interest payments on its indebtedness, changes in working capital during such fiscal year, payments made by us from free cash flow during such fiscal year to repay certain indebtedness owed to Lamar Advertising, net reductions in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of our revolving credit facility during such fiscal year and the aggregate amount of optional prepayments of principal of our term loan facility and incremental loan facility during such fiscal year.
Guarantees; Security
Our obligations under our banksenior credit facility are guaranteed by Lamar Advertising and all of our restricted subsidiaries (which includes all of our existing domestic subsidiaries, except Missouri Logos, a Partnership). The guarantees are secured by a pledge of all of our capital stock and all of the capital stock of those subsidiaries.
67
Covenants
Under the terms of the banksenior credit facility, we and our restricted subsidiaries are not permitted to incur any additional indebtedness over $150 million at any one time outstanding except:
| | |
| | • | indebtedness created by the banksenior credit facility; |
| |

| |
| | • | existing indebtedness or any extension, renewal, refunding or replacement of any existing indebtedness or indebtedness incurred by the issuance of notes as referred to in the bullet above; and |
| |
| | • | our indebtedness to any wholly owned subsidiary and indebtedness of any wholly owned subsidiary to us. |
The banksenior credit facility also places certain restrictions upon our, and our restricted subsidiaries’, ability to, among other things:

Under the banksenior credit facility, we and our restricted subsidiaries currently cannot exceed a total holdings debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters, of 6.007.75 to 1. We and our restricted subsidiaries also currently have a senior debt ratio, defined as total senior debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters of 4.25 to 1.

In the event of redemption of fewer than all of the notes, the trustee shall select either pro rata or in such other manner as it shall deem fair and equitable the notes to be redeemed;provided,however, that if a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, selection of the notes for redemption shall be made by the trustee only on a pro rata basis, unless such method is otherwise prohibited.

On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption unless Lamar Media shall fail to redeem any such note.
SubordinationSelection and Notice
The indebtedness representedIf less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of notes for redemption will be made by the notes, includingtrustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal premium,national securities exchange, if any, on which the notes are listed or, if the notes are not so listed, on apro ratabasis, or by such other method as the trustee deems fair and interest,appropriate; provided that no notes with a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the extent and innotice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the manner provided in the indenture, subordinated in rightportion of payment to the prior payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of Lamar Media. As of September 30, 2007, the principal amount of outstanding Senior Indebtedness of Lamar Media, on a consolidated basis, was approximately $1.4 billion. We will havethereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the ability to incur additional Senior Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility andunredeemed portion thereof will be permitted to incur additional Senior Indebtedness underissued in the indenture.
The indenture provides that no payment (by set-off or otherwise) may be made by or on behalf of Lamar Media on accountname of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes, or on accountholder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. On and after the redemption provisions of the notes, for cash or property (other than Junior Securities), (i) upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness of Lamar Media by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived) or otherwise, unless and until all principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on such Senior Indebtedness are first paid in full in cash or (ii) in the event ofdate, so long as we do not default in the payment of any principal, premium, if any, orthe redemption price, interest in respect of any Senior Indebtedness of Lamar Media when it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise (a“Payment Default”), unless and until such Payment Default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceasedwill cease to exist.
Upon (i) the happening of an event of default (other than a Payment Default) that permits the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness to declare such Designated Senior Indebtedness to be due and payable and (ii) written notice of such event of default given to Lamar Media and the trustee by the representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness (a“Payment Notice”), then, unless and until such event of default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist, no payment (by set-off or otherwise) may be made by oraccrue on behalf of Lamar Media on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes or on account of the redemption provisions of the notes, in any such case, other than payments made with Junior Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Designated Senior Indebtedness in respect of which such event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety within 179 days after the Payment Notice is delivered as set forth above (the“Payment Blockage Period”) (and such declaration has not been rescinded or waived), at the end of the Payment Blockage Period, Lamar Media shall, unless a Payment Default exists, be required to pay all sums not paid to the holders of the notes during the Payment Blockage Period due to the foregoing prohibitions and to resume all other payments as and when due on the notes. Any number of Payment Notices may be given;provided, however,that (i) not more than one Payment Notice shall be given within a period of any 360 consecutive days, and (ii) no default that existed upon the date of such Payment Notice, if the representative of the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness that gave such Payment Notice knew of such default on such date (whether or not such event of default is on the same issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness), shall be made the basisportions thereof called for the commencement of any other Payment Blockage Period unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of at least 90 consecutive days.
Upon any distribution of assets of Lamar Media upon any dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of Lamar Media, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or a similar proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of assets or liabilities, (i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of Lamar Media will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash before the holders of notes are entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes (other than Junior Securities) and (ii) any payment or distribution
72
of assets of Lamar Media of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Junior Securities) to which the holders of notes or the trustee on behalf of the holders of notes would be entitled (by set-off or otherwise), except for the subordination provisions contained in the indenture, will be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such a payment or distribution directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash on all such Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of Lamar Media (other than Junior Securities) shall be received by the trustee at a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing provisions, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and shall be paid or delivered by the trustee to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate principal amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all such Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full in cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
By reason of such subordination, in the event of liquidation or insolvency, creditors of Lamar Media who are holders of Senior Indebtedness may recover more, ratably, than the holders of the notes, and funds which would be otherwise payable to the holders of the notes will be paid to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent necessary to pay the Senior Indebtedness in full, and Lamar Media may be unable to meet its obligations fully with respect to the notes.
Each Guarantee will, to the extent set forth in the indenture, be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the respective Guarantor, including obligations of such Guarantor with respect to the Senior Credit Facility (including any guarantee thereof), and will be subject to the rights of holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to initiate blockage periods, upon terms substantially comparable to the subordination of the notes to all Senior Indebtedness of Lamar Media.
If Lamar Media or any Guarantor fails to make any payment on the notes or any Guarantee, as the case may be, when due or within any applicable grace period, whether or not on account of payment blockage provisions, such failure would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture and would enable the holders of the notes to accelerate the maturity thereof. See “— Events of Default.”
A holder of notes by his acceptance of notes agrees to be bound by such provisions and authorizes and expressly directs the trustee, on his behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in the indenture and appoints the trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose.redemption.
Guarantees

The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees of Senior Indebtedness) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its
73
contribution obligations under the indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. In making any calculation relevant to determining such maximum amount, all Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been incurred prior to the Issue Date. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor. See “Risk Factors — Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the guarantees of the notes by our subsidiaries and require the holders of the notes to return payments received from the subsidiary guarantors.”

To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the Available Asset Sale Proceeds, Lamar Media may use such deficiencyany remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes.any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount ofpari passuIndebtedness tendered pursuant to a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer is less than suchpari passuIndebtedness’s pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale Proceeds,
80
Lamar Media shall use such remaining Available Asset Sale Proceeds to purchase any notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Excess Proceeds Offer. If the aggregate principal amount of notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Available Asset Sale Proceeds or to the extent Lamar Media elects to make a Pari Passu Excess Proceeds Offer, exceeds the notes’ pro rata share of such Available Asset Sale Proceeds, then notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis.

Reports to Holders
The indenture will provide that, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the“Commission”), so long as any notes are outstanding, Lamar Media will furnish the holders of notes:
(a) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission onForms 10-Q and10-K if Lamar Media were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by Lamar Media’s certified independent accountants; and
(b) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission onForm 8-K if Lamar Media were required to file such reports, in each case within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations.
In addition, following the consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, Lamar Media will file a copy of all such information and reports with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, Lamar Media has agreed that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
81
Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Lamar Media shall be obligated to make an offer to purchase (a“Change of Control Offer”), and shall purchase, on a business day (the“Change of Control Purchase Date”) not more than 60 nor less than 30 days following the occurrence of the Change of Control, all of the then outstanding notes at a purchase price (the“Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase
80
Date. The CompanyLamar Media shall be required to purchase all notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn.

The occurrence of the events constituting a Change of Control under the indenture will result in an event of default under the Senior Credit Facility and, thereafter, the lenders will have the right to require repayment of the borrowings thereunder in full. Lamar Media’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facility will constitute Designated Senior Indebtedness and will represent obligations senior in right of payment to the notes. Consequently, the subordination provisions of the indenture will have the effect of precluding the purchase of the notes by Lamar Media in the event of a Change of Control, absent consent of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility or repayment of all amounts outstanding thereunder (although the failure by Lamar Media to comply with its obligations in the event of a Change of Control will constitute a default under the notes). There can be no assurance that Lamar Media will have adequate resources to repay or refinance all Indebtedness owing under the Senior Credit Facility or to fund the purchase of any notes upon a Change of Control.
In the event that a Change of Control occurs and the holders of notes exercise their right to require Lamar Media to purchase notes, if such purchase constitutes a “tender offer” for purposes ofRule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act at that time, Lamar Media will comply with the requirements ofRule 14e-1 as then in effect with respect to such repurchase.

(a) either (i) if the transaction or series of transactions is a merger or consolidation, Lamar Media shall be the surviving person of such merger or consolidation, or (ii) the person formed by such consolidation or into which Lamar Media is merged or to which the properties and assets of Lamar Media, are transferred (any such surviving person or transferee person being the“Surviving Entity”) shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of Lamar Media under the notes and the indenture, and, in each case, the indenture shall remain in full force and effect; and

82
In connection with any consolidation, merger or transfer of assets contemplated by this provision, Lamar Media shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
81
the trustee, an Officers’ Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with this provision and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction or transactions have been complied with.

No holder of any note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such holder shall have previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, unless the holders of at least 25% in aggregate
82

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
We and our subsidiary guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers on October 11, 2007March 27, 2009 in connection with the closing of the private offering of the outstanding notes. In that agreement, we agreed for the benefit of the holders of the outstanding notes that we will use our reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission and cause to become effective a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the notes for an issue of Commission-registered notes with terms identical to the notes (except that the exchange notes are not subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate as described below).
If applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission do not permit us to effect the exchange offer, we are required to use our reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the notes and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the expiration of the time period referred to in Rule 144(k)144(d)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act, or such shorter period that will terminate when all notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold. We will, in the event of such a shelf registration, provide to each outstanding noteholder copies of the prospectus that is a part of the shelf registration statement, notify each noteholder when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions to permit resales of the notes. A noteholder that sells notes under the shelf registration statement generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with those sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement that are applicable to such a noteholder (including certain indemnification obligations).
If this exchange offer is not completed (or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective) on or before April 18, 2008October 3, 2009 (the “Target Registration Date”), the annual interest rate borne by the notes will be increased (i) 0.25% per annum for the first90-day period immediately following the Target Registration Date and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent90-day period, in each case until the exchange offer is completed or, if required, the shelf registration statement is declared effective up to a maximum of 1.00% per annum of additional interest.
99
If we effect the exchange offer, we will be entitled to close the exchange offer 20 business days after its commencement,providedthat we have accepted all notes validly surrendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. Notes not tendered in the exchange offer shall bear interest at the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and be subject to all the terms and conditions specified in the indenture, including transfer restrictions.
The preceding is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the registration rights agreement, aagreement. A copy of the registration rights agreement is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
BOOK-ENTRY SETTLEMENT AND CLEARANCE
The Global Notes
The exchange notes will be issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons, which are called the global notes.
Upon issuance, each of the global notes will be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
98
Ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC, which are called DTC participants, or persons who hold interests through DTC participants. We expect that under procedures established by DTC:
| | |
| | • | upon deposit of each global note with DTC’s custodian, DTC will credit portions of the principal amount of the global note to the accounts of the DTC participants designated by the initial purchasers; and |
| |
| | • | ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be shown on, and transfer of ownership of those interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC participants) and the records of DTC participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the global note). |
Beneficial interests in the global notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.
Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes
All interests in the global notes will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. We provide the following summaries of those operations and procedures solely for the convenience of investors. The operations and procedures of each settlement system are controlled by that settlement system and may be changed at any time. We are not responsible for those operations or procedures.
DTC has advised us that it is:
| | |
| | • | a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York; |
| |
| | • | a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York State Banking Law; |
| |
| | • | a member of the Federal Reserve System; |
| |
| | • | a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code; and |
| |
| | • | a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers; banks and trust companies; clearing corporations and other organizations. Indirect access to DTC’s system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies; these indirect participants clear through or maintain a custodial
100
relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not DTC participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through DTC participants or indirect participants in DTC.
So long as DTC’s nominee is the registered owner of a global note, that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by that global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note:
| | |
| | • | will not be entitled to have notes represented by the global note registered in their names; |
| |
| | • | will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated notes; and |
| |
| | • | will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee under the indenture. |
As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the indenture (and, if the investor is not a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which the investor owns its interest).
Payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the notes represented by a global note will be made by the Trustee to DTC’s nominee as the registered holder of the global note. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial
99
interests in a global note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to those interests.
Payments by participants and indirect participants in DTC to the owners of beneficial interests in a global note will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice and will be the responsibility of those participants or indirect participants and DTC.
Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected under DTC’s procedures and will be settled insame-day funds.
DTC has agreed to the above procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in its settlement systems. However, DTC is not obligated to perform these procedures and may discontinue or change these procedures at any time. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.
Certificated Notes
Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related notes only if:
| | |
| | • | DTC is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary for the global notes or ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the date we are so informed in writing or become aware of same; or |
| |
| | • | an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. |
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes and of the ownership and disposition of the exchange notes. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed regulations, all of which are subject to change. Any such change could be applied retroactively in a way that could cause the tax consequences to differ from the consequences described below, possibly with adverse effect. This summary applies only to persons who hold
101
the outstanding notes and the exchange notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (that is, for investment purposes) and does not address the tax consequences to subsequent purchasers of the notes. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their special circumstances or to holders subject to special tax rules (such as financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, persons who hold the notes through a partnership or other passthrough entity, persons subject to alternative minimum tax, persons holding the notes as a part of a hedge, straddle, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction, U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar or persons who have ceased to be U.S. citizens or to be taxed as resident aliens). This summary also does not discuss any tax consequences arising under the United States federal estate and gift tax laws or the law of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction.
YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF FEDERAL ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS AND THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
As used this summary, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is for United States federal income tax purposes (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the
100
income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if a valid election is in place to treat the trust as a United States person.
As used in this summary, the term“non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of a note (other than a partnership) that is not a U.S. holder.
If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of a note, the tax treatment of a partner in that partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Holders of notes that are partnerships and partners in those partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes and of the ownership and disposition of the exchange notes.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
Exchange Offer
The exchange of the outstanding notes for the exchange notes in connection with the exchange offer will not be a taxable sale or exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly,
| | |
| | • | holders will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the exchange; |
| |
| | • | the adjusted tax basis of an exchange note immediately after the exchange will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the outstanding note exchanged therefor immediately before the exchange; |
| |
| | • | the holding period of the exchange note will include the holding period of the outstanding note; and |
| |
| | • | any original issue discount, acquisition premium, market discount or bond premium applicable to the outstanding notes will carry over to the exchange notes. |
Interest on the Notes
Stated interest on the notes will generally be taxable as ordinary interest income at the time the interest accrues or is received in accordance with a holder’s regular method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.
102
Original Issue Discount
The outstanding notes were issued with original issue discount in an amount equal to the excess of the par value of the outstanding notes over their issue price. The issue price of the outstanding notes was the first offering price to the public at which a substantial amount of the outstanding notes were sold. Because the exchange notes will be treated as a continuation of a U.S. holder’s investment in the outstanding notes, the exchange notes also will be treated as having been issued with original issue discount in an amount equal to the excess of the par value of the outstanding notes over their issue price. This original issue discount has accrued from the issue date of the outstanding notes and will continue to accrue on the notes under a constant yield method. A U.S. holder of the notes will be required to include this original issue discount in gross income as ordinary interest as it accrues in advance of receipt of the cash payments attributable to such income, regardless of the holder’s regular method of accounting.
In general, the amount of original issue discount included in income by a holder of the notes will be the sum of the daily portions of original issue discount with respect to the notes for each day during the taxable year (or portion of the taxable year) on which the holder held the notes. The daily portion of original issue discount on any notes is determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a ratable portion of the original issue discount allocable to that accrual period.
An accrual period may be of any length and the accrual periods may vary in length over the term of the notes, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal
101
or interest occurs either on the final day of an accrual period or on the first day of an accrual period. The amount of original issue discount allocable to each accrual period is generally equal to the difference between (i) the product of (x) the notes’ adjusted issue price at the beginning of such accrual period and (y) the yield to maturity of the notes (appropriately adjusted to take into account the length of the particular accrual period) and (ii) the amount of any qualified stated interest payments allocable to such accrual period. The adjusted issue price of the notes at the beginning of any accrual period is the sum of the issue price of the notes plus the amount of original issue discount allocable to all prior accrual periods minus the amount of any prior payments on the notes that were not qualified stated interest payments.
Under these rules, holders generally will have to include in income increasingly greater amounts of original issue discount in successive accrual periods.
If a holder acquires an exchange note (or purchased an outstanding note which such holder exchanges for an exchange note) after original issuance for an amount that is less than or equal to the note’s par value but greater than its adjusted issue price, the holder will be considered to have acquired such note at an “acquisition premium” equal in amount to the excess of the note’s cost over its adjusted issue price. Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of original issue discount which such holder must include in income in each period with respect to the note will be reduced (but not below zero) by the portion of the acquisition premium allocated to the period.
Market Discount
If a holder acquires an exchange note (or purchased an outstanding note which such holder exchanges for an exchange note) for an amount that is less than its adjusted issue price, the difference will be treated as “market discount” (unless such difference is less than a statutorily definedde minimisamount), and the exchange note will be subject to the market discount rules. The holder of an exchange note that is subject to the market discount rules will be required to treat any full or partial principal payment or any gain recognized on the maturity, sale or other disposition of the note as ordinary income, to the extent that such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount on the note. The amount of market discount treated as having accrued will be determined either:
| | |
| | • | on a straight-line basis by multiplying the market discount times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the note was held by the holder and the denominator of which is the total number of days after the date such holder acquired the note up to, and including, the note’s maturity date; or |
| |
| | • | if the holder so elects, on the basis of a constant rate of compound interest. |
103
The holder of an exchange note subject to the market discount rules may elect to include market discount in income currently, through the use of either the straight-line inclusion method or the elective constant interest rate method, in lieu of recharacterizing gain upon disposition as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount at the time of disposition. Once made, this election will apply to all debt instruments with market discount acquired by the electing holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. If an election is made to include market discount on a debt instrument in income currently, the basis of the debt instrument in the hands of the holder will be increased by the market discount thereon as it is included in income.
A holder who does not elect to include the market discount on an exchange note in income currently may be required to defer interest expense deductions for a portion of the interest paid on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry such note, until the maturity of the note, its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction or, if the holder so elects, a subsequent taxable year in which sufficient income exists with respect to the exchange note.
Amortizable Bond Premium
If a holder purchases an exchange note (or purchased an outstanding note which such holder exchanges for an exchange note) for an amount in excess of all amounts payable on the note after the purchase date, other than payments of stated interest, such holder will not be required to include in income any original issue
102
discount with respect to the note. In addition, such holder may elect to treat the excess as amortizable bond premium. In general, a holder may elect to amortize bond premium by offsetting stated interest allocable to an accrual period with the premium allocable to that period at the time that the holder takes the interest into account under the holder’s regular method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. Bond premium is allocable to an accrual period on a constant yield basis. Because the exchange notes are redeemable at our option (see “Description of Exchange Notes — Optional Redemption”), special rules will apply which require a holder to determine the yield and maturity of the exchange notes for purposes of calculating and amortizing bond premium by assuming that we will exercise our option to redeem the holder’s notes in a manner that maximizes the holder’s yield. If we do not exercise our option to redeem the exchange note in the manner assumed, then solely for purposes of calculating and amortizing any remaining bond premium, the holder must treat the exchange note as retired and reissued on the deemed redemption date for its adjusted acquisition price as of that date. The adjusted acquisition price of the exchange note is the holder’s initial investment in the exchange note or the outstanding note, decreased by the amount of any payments, other than qualified stated interest payments, received with respect to such note and any bond premium previously amortized by the holder.
Once made, the election to amortize bond premium on a constant yield method applies to all debt instruments (other than debt instruments the interest on which is excludable from gross income) held or subsequently acquired by the holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.
Sale, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes
A holder of an exchange note will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the note equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received (except to the extent attributable to accrued interest) and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. A holder’s adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal such holder’s initial investment in the note increased by the amount of original issue discount and any accrued market discount previously included in income and decreased by the amount of any payments, other than qualified stated interest payments, received with respect to such note and any amortized bond premium. If a holder disposes of a note between interest payment dates, a portion of the amount received represents stated interest accrued to the date of disposition and must be reported as ordinary interest income, and not as proceeds from the disposition, in accordance with the holder’s regular method of accounting for federal income tax purposes as described above under “— Interest on the Notes.” Subject to the market discount rules discussed above, any gain or loss recognized by a holder on the disposition of a note generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term
104
capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period is more than one year. The exchange of the notes for the exchange notes in connection with the exchange offer will not be a taxable sale or exchange for United States federal income tax purposes.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences toNon-U.S. Holders
The following discussion applies only tonon-U.S. holders. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to suchnon-U.S. holders in light of their special circumstances. For example, special rules may apply to anon-U.S. holder that is a “controlled foreign corporation,”corporation” or “passive foreign investment company” or “foreign personal holding company,” and such holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the United States federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them.
Exchange Offer
The exchange of the outstanding notes for the exchange notes in connection with the exchange offer will not be a taxable sale or exchange for United States federal income tax purposes.
103
Interest Payments on the Notes
Subject to the discussion below concerning effectively connected income and backup withholding, the 30% United States federal withholding tax should not apply to any payment of interest (including original issue discount) on the notes provided that: (i) the holder does not own actually or constructively 10% or more of the total combined voting power of Lamar Media Corp.; (ii) the holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Lamar Media Corp. through actual or constructive stock ownership; (iii) the holder is not a bank whose receipt of interest on the notes is described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and (iv) either (a) the holder provides the holder’s name and address on an IRSForm W-8BEN (or other applicable form) and certifies, under penalty of perjury that the holder is not a United States person, or (b) a financial institution holding the notes on the holder’s behalf certifies, under penalty of perjury, that it has received an IRSForm W-8BEN (or other applicable form) from the beneficial owner and provides a copy or, in the case of certain foreign intermediaries, satisfies other certification requirements under the applicable United States Treasury regulations. Special certification requirements apply to certainnon-U.S. holders that are entities.
If a holder cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to the holder will be subject to the 30% United States federal withholding tax, unless the holder qualifies for a reduced rate of withholding under a tax treaty or the payments are exempt from withholding because they are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States and the holder satisfies the applicable certification and disclosure requirements. In order to claim a reduction in or exemption from the 30% withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty, a holder must provide a properly executed IRSForm W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form). In order to claim that the interest payments are exempt from the withholding tax because they are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, the holder must provide an IRSForm W-8ECI (or a suitable substitute form).
Anon-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
Sale, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes
Subject to the discussion below concerning effectively connected income and backup withholding, a holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax on any gain realized on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note unless the holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for at least 183 days during the year of disposition of the note and other conditions are satisfied. The exchange of the notes for exchange notes in connection with the exchange offer will not be a taxable sale or exchange for United States federal income tax purposes.
105
Effectively Connected Income
If a holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and the holder’s investment in a note is effectively connected with such trade or business, the holder will be exempt from the 30% withholding tax on interest (provided a certification requirement, generally on IRSForm W-8ECI, is met), but will instead generally be subject to regular United States federal income tax on a net income basis on any interest and gain with respect to the notes in the same manner as if the holder were a U.S. holder unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. In addition, if the holder is a foreign corporation, the holder may be subject to a branch profits tax of 30% (or the lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) of the holder’s earnings and profits for the taxable year that are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If a holder is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty, any effectively connected income or gain will generally be subject to United States federal income tax only if it is also attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the holder in the United States.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Interest (including original issue discount) and principal on, and proceeds received from the sale of, a note generally will be reported to U.S. holders, other than certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099. In addition, a backup withholding tax may apply to such payments or proceeds if the U.S. holder fails to furnish the payor with a correct taxpayer identification number or other
104
options on the exchange notes or a combination of those methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any broker-dealer or the purchasers of any exchange notes.

The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Lamar Advertising Company:
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) maintained effectiveCompany’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006,2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Lamar Advertising Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.reporting, included in the accompanyingManagement Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment,assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control andbased on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Lamar Advertising Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Lamar Advertising Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006,2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Lamar Advertising Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20062008 and 2005,2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 20062008, and the financial statement schedule, as listed in the accompanying index, and our report dated February 28, 200727, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and schedule.

| (1) | Significant Accounting Policies |
Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) is engaged in the outdoor advertising business operating approximately 151,000159,000 billboard advertising displays in 44 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company’s operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it serves.
In addition, the Company operates a logo sign business in 19 states throughout the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada and a transit advertising business in 7366 markets. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded service contracts on publicrights-of-way near highway exits and deliver brand name information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. Included in the Company’s logo sign business are tourism signing contracts. The Company provides transit advertising on bus shelters, benches and buses in the markets it serves.
The severe economic downturn that accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2008 has affected the Company as well as the advertising industry. The Company had fewer customers in the fourth quarter of 2008 which resulted in lower occupancy and a reduction in sales. While the Company anticipates this will continue into 2009, we have taken steps to reduce operating and capitalized expenditures in order to offset this potential reduction in revenue.
| |
| (b) | Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Lamar Advertising Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp. (Lamar Media), and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Based upon definitions contained within SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” an operating segment is a component of an enterprise:
| | |
| • | that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; |
|
| • | whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and |
|
| • | for which discrete financial information is available. |
We define the term ‘chief operating decision maker’ to be our executive management group, which consist of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Currently, all operations are reviewed on a consolidated basis for budget and business plan performance by our executive management group. Additionally, operational performance at the end of each reporting period is viewed in the aggregate by our management group. Any decisions related to changes in invested capital, personnel, operational improvement or training, or to allocate other company resources are made based on the combined results.
We operate in a single operating and reporting segment, advertising. We sell advertising on billboards, buses, shelters and benches and logo plates.

| (c) | 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.

| (d) | Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, (SFAS No. 142) Goodwill and Other IntangiblesGoodwillgoodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company designated December 31 as the date of its annual goodwill impairment test. Impairment testing involves various estimates and assumptions, which could vary, and an analysis of relevant market data and market capitalization. The Company’s stock price has declined over the past year and macroeconomic conditions have also declined. If an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduceindustry and economic conditions continue to deteriorate, the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, an interimCompany may be required to assess goodwill impairment before the next annual test, would be performed between annual tests. which could result in impairment charges.
In accordance with the standard, the Company is required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company is required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would be required to perform the second step of the impairment test, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. The fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test dates on December 31, 20062008 and December 31, 20052007 therefore the Company was not required to recognize an impairment loss.
Intangible assets, consisting primarily of site locations, customer lists and contracts, and non-competition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives, generally from 53 to 15 years.
| |
| (e) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a

comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset before interest expense. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue receivedinvoiced 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 income in the consolidated financial statements at the time the assets are sold to an unrelated party or otherwise disposed of.
The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue, net of agency commissions, if any, on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as services are provided. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon completion of the sale.

The Company engages in barter transactions where the Company trades advertising space for goods and services. The Company recognizes revenues and expenses from barter transactions at fair value which is determined based on the Company’s own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising space from buyers unrelated to the party in the barter transaction. The amount of revenue and expense recognized for advertising barter transactions is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt. The number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation because of their anti-dilutive effect are 5,879,893 for the year ended December 31, 2008, 5,813,730 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 5,581,755 for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and 2004.

| (j) | Stock Option PlanBased Compensation |
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment,and related interpretations, or SFAS 123(R), to account for stock-based compensation using the modified prospective transition method and therefore will not restate our prior period results.method. SFAS 123(R)supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB No. 25, and revises guidance in SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.Among other things, SFAS 123(R) requires that compensation expense be recognized in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. The modified prospective transition method applies to (a) unvested stock options under our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (1996 Plan) at December 31, 2005 and issuances under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) outstanding based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) any new share-based awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on thegrant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Additionally, stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which is generally commensurate with the vesting term. Non-cash compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $9,005, $27,488 and $17,906. The $9,005 expensed at year ended December 31, 2006 is $17,906 which2008 consists of $7,561(i) $8,027 resulting from the Company’s adoptionexpensing of options under SFAS 123(R) and $10,345123R, (ii) $683 related to stock grants, which were made under the Company’s performance-based stock incentive program in 2006.2008 (iii) $295 related to stock awards to directors. See Note 14 for information on the assumptions we used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for these stock-based compensation plans in accordance with APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for a stock option grant was recognized only if the exercise price was less than the market value of our Class A common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense was not recognized under our ESPP as the purchase price of the stock issued thereunder was not less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning of each offering period or at the end of each purchase period under the plan. Prior to our adoption of SFAS 123(R), as required under the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, as amended, we provided pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per common share for each period as if we had applied the fair value method to measure stock-based compensation expense.
The table below summarizes the impact on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 of outstanding stock options and stock grants under our 1996 Plan and issuances under our ESPP recognized under the provisions of SFAS 123(R):

(l) Reclassification
Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of Prior Year Amountsexchange prevailing during the year. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
| |
| (m) | Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts |
Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income (loss).
Certain balances in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and their notes have been reclassified to give retrospective presentation for the effect of adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Staff Position(m) Asset Retirement ObligationsNo. APB-14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”.

| (n) | Asset Retirement Obligations |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS(SFAS 143). SFAS 143 requires companies to record the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its properties.
(n) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Acquisitions
Total comprehensive income and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of foreign currency translation effects and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedging instruments.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,as amended (“SFAS 133”), requires that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of the statement be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Upon entering into a derivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, or decide that the contract is not a hedge, and thenceforth mark the contract to market through earnings. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items, as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for use of the hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception, and on an ongoing basis, whether a derivative instrument used as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the cash flows of the hedged item. When the cash flow of the hedged item is recognized in the statement of operations, the fair value of the associated cash flow hedge is reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings.
Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedging derivative’s change in fair value are recognized currently in earnings as other income (expense). If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss that was recorded in other comprehensive incomes is recognized currently in income.
The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements, one on December 6, 2007 that matures in December 2009, which converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to 3.89% fixed rate debt and another entered into on December 31, 2007 that matures on December 31, 2009 which converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to a 3.995% fixed rate debt. The derivatives were designated as cash flow hedges. The fair market value at December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007 were $(6,212) and $(179) respectively and is reflected in other liabilities and other comprehensive (deficit) income on the balance sheet.

| (r) | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of FASB SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with FASB Staff Position157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”(FSP 157-2), we elected to defer the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 157 for our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. Such assets and liabilities, which include our property, plant and equipment (net), goodwill, intangible assets (net), and asset retirement obligation will be subject to the provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 for our non-financial assets may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information, see Note 19 — Fair Value Measurements.

The Company’s obligations with respect to its publicly issuedconvertible 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 wholly owned domestic subsidiaries.
Credit Facility
On September 30, 2005, Lamar Media Corp., replaced its bank credit facility. The new bank facility is comprised of a $400,000 revolving bank credit facility and a $400,000 term facility. The bank credit facility also includes a $500,000 incremental facility, which permits Lamar Media to request that its lenders enter into a commitment to make additional term loans to it, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $500,000. As a result of this refinancing, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,982.
On February 8, 2006, Lamar Media entered into a Series A Incremental Term Loan Agreement and obtained commitments from its lenders for a term loan of $37,000, which was funded on February 27, 2006. The available uncommitted incremental loan facility was thereby reduced to $463,000.
On October 5, 2006, weLamar Media entered into a Series B Incremental Term Loan Agreement (the “Series B Incremental Loan Agreement”) and borrowed an additional $150,000 under the incremental portion of ourthe bank credit facility.

The lenders have no obligation to make additional term loans to Lamar Media under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.
On December 21, 2006, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Media, Lamar Transit Advertising Canada Ltd., entered into a Series C Incremental Term Loan Agreement and obtained commitments from its lenders for a term loan of $20,000.

Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to maturity. The loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the LIBOR Rate or JPMorgan 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, as defined in the agreement. The terms of the indenture relating to Lamar Advertising’s outstanding notes, Lamar Media’s bank credit facility and the
F-19
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
indenture relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to:
| | |
| | • | dispose of assets; |
| |
| | • | incur or repay debt; |
| |
| | • | create liens; |
| |
| | • | make investments; and |
| |
| | • | pay dividends. |
Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s credit facility the Company must maintain specified financial ratios and levels including:
| | |
| | • | interest coverage; |
|
| • | fixed charges ratios; |
|
| • | senior debt ratios; and |
| |
| | • | total debt ratios. |
Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of all of the indentures and the applicable bank credit agreement during the periods presented. Although the Company and Lamar Media are currently in compliance with all financial covenants, the Company’s operating results have been negatively impacted by the current economic downturn and there can be no assurance that a severe and protracted recession will not further impact the Company’s results and, in turn, its ability to meet these requirements in the future. If Lamar Media fails to comply with its financial covenants, the lenders under the senior credit facility could accelerate all of the debt outstanding and could lead to a default under the indentures governing the Company’s and Lamar Media’s outstanding notes.
Convertible Debt
On January 1, 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Staff Position No. APB14-1,“Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”(“FSP APB14-1”), which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. FSP APB14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. FSP APB14-1 requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Once adopted, FSP APB14-1 requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The adoption of FSP APB14-1 affects the accounting for our 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 and 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. The Company used an effective interest rate of 71/2% to calculate the initial debt discount and will amortize this debt discount through December 31, 2010. The carrying amount of the equity component was $24,143 at December 31, 2008 and December 31,

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, it provides guidance on the measurement, derecognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, as well as the accounting for related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are required to record the impact of adopting FIN 48 as an adjustment to the January 1, 2007 beginning balance of retained earnings rather than our consolidated statement of income.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | |
| Balance of December 31, 2007 | | $ | 787 | |
| Plus: additions based on tax positions related to the current year | | | 34 | |
| Plus: additions for tax positions of prior years | | | 47 | |
| Less: reductions made for tax positions of prior years | | | — | |
| Settlements | | | — | |
| | | | | |
| Balance of December 31, 2008 | | $ | 868 | |
| | | | | |
Included in the balance of unrecognized benefits as of December 31, 2008, are $868 of tax benefits that, if recognized in future periods, would impact our effective tax rate.
To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and included in our accrued current tax liability in our consolidated balance sheets. This is an accounting policy election we made that is a continuation of our historical policy and we intend to continue to consistently apply the policy in the future. During 2008, we accrued $47 in gross interest and penalties.
In addition, we are subject to both income taxes in the United States and in many of the 50 individual states. In addition, the Company is subject to income taxes in Canada and in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. We are open to examination in United States and in various individual states for tax years ended December 2004 through December 2007. We are also open to examination for the years ended2002-2003 resulting from net operating losses generated and available for carry forward from those years.

During 2008, we generated $94,471 of U.S. net operating losses of which $19,688 will be used to carry back to the 2007 tax year. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $107,051 of U.S. net operating loss carry forwards remaining to offset future taxable income. Of this amount, $43,315 is subject to an IRC §382 limitation of $6,772 per year. These carry forwards expire between 2022 through 2028. In addition, we have $25,237 of various credits available to offset future U.S. federal income tax.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had deferred tax assets for U.S. federal net operating losses of $46,295, and2008 we have approximately $255,225 state net operating losses before valuation allowances. These state net operating losses are available to reduce future taxable income and expire at various times and amounts. Management has determined that a valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carry forwards is necessary. The valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets as of $182,536, which expire through 2024. December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,692 and $2,341, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 was an increase (decrease) of $594, $(772), $(1,706), respectively.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those jurisdictions during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax planningtax-planning strategies in making this assessment. Based uponon the level of historical federal taxable income and projections for future federal taxable income over the periods infor which the U.S. deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is more likely than not the Companythat we will realize the benefits of these deductible

(12) Related Party TransactionsWe have a deferred tax liability of approximately $2,112 for the undistributed earnings of our foreign operations that arose in 2008 and prior years. We have recognized current year tax expense of approximately $821 for the change in this deferred tax liability. As of December 31, 2008, the undistributed earnings of these subsidiaries were approximately $6,034.

Affiliates, as used within these statements, are persons or entities that are affiliated with Lamar Advertising Company or its subsidiaries through common ownership and directorate control.
In October 1995 and in March 1996, the Company repurchased 3.6% and 12.9%, respectively, of its then outstanding Class A common stock (1,220,500 and 3,617,884 shares, respectively) from certain of its existing stockholders, directors and employees for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4,000. The term of the March 1996 repurchase entitled the selling stockholders to receive additional consideration from the Company in the event that the Company consummated a public offering of its Class A common stock at a higher price within 24 months of the repurchase. In satisfaction of that obligation, upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company paid the selling stockholders an aggregate of $5,000 in cash from the proceeds and issued them $20,000 aggregate principal amount of ten year subordinated notes. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the outstanding balance of the ten year subordinated notes was $0, and $1,333, respectively. The Company’s current executive officers did not hold any of the ten year subordinated notes described above. Interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, related to the ten year subordinated notes was $40, $193 and $354, respectively.
Prior to 1996, the Company entered into various related party transactions for the purchase and sale of advertising structures whereby any resulting gains were deferred at that date. As of December 31, 20062008 and 2005,2007, the deferred gains related to these transactions were $1,001 and are included in deferred income on the balance sheets. No gains related to these transactions have been realized in the Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 20052008, 2007 and 2004.2006.
In addition, the Company had receivables from employees of $240$142 and $49$266 at December 31, 20062008 and 2005,2007, respectively. These receivables are primarily relocation loans for employees. The Company does not have any receivables from its current executive officers.

The amended agreement provides for an annual consulting fee of $190 for the five year period commencing on January 1, 2004 and an annual consulting fee of $150 for any subsequent one year renewal term. As of December 31, 2008, this consulting agreement was renewed for one additional year at the previously agreed fee of $150 per year.

The new Series AA preferred stock and the Class A preferred stock rank senior to the Class A common stock and Class B common stock with respect to dividends and upon liquidation. Holders of Series AA preferred stock and Class A preferred stock are entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, dividends at the rate of $15.95 per share per quarter when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. The Series AA preferred stock and the Class A preferred stock are also entitled to receive, on a pari pasupassu basis, $638 plus a further amount equal to any dividend accrued and unpaid to the date of distribution before any payments are made or assets distributed to the Class A common stock or Class B stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The liquidation value of the outstanding Series AA preferred stock at December 31, 20062008 was $3,649. The Series AA preferred stock and the Class A preferred stock are identical, except that the Series AA preferred stock is entitled to one vote per share and the Class A preferred stock is not entitled to vote.

No dividend may be declared or paid in cash or property on any share of either class of common stock unless simultaneously the same dividend is declared or paid on each share of the other class of common stock, provided that, in the event of stock dividends, holders of a specific class of common stock shall be entitled to receive only additional shares of such class.
The rights of the Class A and Class B common stock are equal in all respects, except holders of Class B common stock have ten votes per share on all matters in which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote and holders of Class A common stock have one vote per share on such matters. The Class B common stock will convert automatically into Class A common stock upon the sale or transfer to persons other than permitted transferees (as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended).

Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan has reserved 10 million shares of common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including options granted and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years which primarily includes 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards under SFAS 123(R), which is the same valuation technique we previously used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. We have reviewed our historical pattern of option exercises and have determined that meaningful differences in option exercise activity existed among vesting schedules. Therefore, for all stock options granted after January 1, 2006, we have categorized these awards into two groups of vesting1) 5-year cliff vest and2) 4-year graded vest, for valuation purposes. We have determined there were no meaningful differences in employee activity under our ESPP due to the nature of the plan.
We estimate the expected term of options granted using an implied life derived from the results of a hypothetical mid-point settlement scenario, which incorporates our historical exercise, expiration and post-vesting employment termination patterns, while accommodating for partial life cycle effects. We believe these estimates will approximate future behavior.
We estimate the expected volatility of our Class A common stock at the grant date using a blend of 75% historical volatility of our Class A common stock and 25% implied volatility of publicly traded options with maturities greater than six months on our Class A common stock as of the option grant date. Our decision to use a blend of historical and implied volatility was based upon the volume of actively traded options on our common stock and our belief that historical volatility alone may not be completely representative of future stock price trends.
Our risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the Federal Reserve nominal rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being

valued. As of December 31, 2006, we have never paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock. Therefore, weWe assumed an expected dividend yield of zero.zero since the Company has historically not paid dividends on Class A common stock, except for special dividends in 2007.
Additionally, SFAS 123(R) requires us to estimate option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on our historical forfeiture data. Previously, we accounted

As discussed under New Accounting Pronouncements in Note 22, inIn September 2006, the SEC released SAB 108. The transition provisions of SAB 108 permitpermitted the Company to adjust for the cumulative effect on retained earnings of immaterial errors relating to prior years. SAB 108 also requiresrequired the adjustment of any prior quarterly financial statements within the fiscal year of adoption for the effects of such errors on the quarters when the information is next presented. Such adjustments do not require previously filed reports with the SEC to be amended. In accordance with SAB 108, the Company has adjusted beginning accumulated deficit for 2006 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the items described below. The Company considersconsidered these adjustments to be immaterial to prior periods.
Review of Logo Sign Depreciation Policies
The Company adjusted its beginning accumulated deficit for fiscal 2006 related to a correction in the historical depreciation of logo signs related to its state contracts. The Company had historically depreciated its logo signs over a 15 year life. In a majority of cases the 15 year life was consistent with the contract term, including renewals, if applicable. As a result of a Company review, it was determined that some of the state sign contracts had contractual life of less than 15 years, including renewals, if any. The Company recorded an

In August 2002, a jury verdict was rendered in a lawsuit filed against the Company in the amount of $32 in compensatory damages and $2,245 in punitive damages. As a result of the verdict, the Company recorded a $2,277 charge in its operating expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. In May 2003, the Court ordered a reduction to the punitive damage award, which was subject to the plaintiff’s consent. The plaintiff rejected the reduced award and the Court ordered a new trial. Plaintiff then filed an appeal and the appellate court remanded the case back to the trial court for a limited trial on the issue of the amount of the punitive damages. Subsequently, the Company paid the compensatory damage of award of $32. A trial on the issue of the punitive damage amount was conducted in June 2008 and a jury verdict was rendered against the Company in the amount of $66. The plaintiff has now appealed that verdict. Based on legal analysis, management believes that the best estimate ofjury verdict will be upheld on appeal and that the Company’s potential liability related to this claim is currently $376. It is anticipated that a new trial with respect to punitive damages will take place in December 2007.be $66.

(19) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The fair value of the financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

Fair value estimates are subject to inherent limitations. EstimatesIn September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of fair values are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. The estimated fair values of financial instruments presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company might realize in actual market transactions. Estimates ofFinancial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, are subjectiveestablishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff PositionNo. 157-2 that provides for a one-year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.
SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, categorizing the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy can be described as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in nature andactive markets;

(20) Subsequent EventFair value of financial instruments: At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, borrowings and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments and derivative contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The following table provides fair value measurement information for liabilities reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008:

Statement 157 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the table above, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. When available, we measure fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. We currently do not use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles used in previous years shouldthe preparation of financial statements of entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 162 on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”)14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”(“FSP APB14-1”).FSP APB14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be considered when quantifying errorssettled in current-yearcash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. We now reflect the impact of adopting FSP APB14-1 in our consolidated financial statements. The SAB requires registrantsWe have reclassified certain prior year amounts to considerconform with the effectpresentation required by FSP APB14-1.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133 requiring enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities thereby improving the transparency of all carry overfinancial reporting. SFAS 161’s disclosures provide additional information on how and reversing effects of prior-year misstatements when qualifying errors in current-yearwhy derivative instruments are being used. This statement is effective for financial statements. The SAB does not change the SEC staff’s previous guidance on evaluating the materiality of errors. The SAB allows registrants to record the effects of adopting the guidance as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. This adjustment must be reported as of thestatements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006.2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires that ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires that once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the

interests of the parent and the interest of the noncontrolling owners. It is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interest. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On March 23, 2009, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. The tender offer expired on April 17, 2009. As a result of the tender offer, Lamar accepted for payment $153,633 in principle amount of notes at a purchase price of 92% of the original principal amount of the notes, plus with respect to such convertible notes, all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date of April 20, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, convertible notes not tendered, or tendered and validly withdrawn, in the tender offer remain outstanding, and the terms and conditions governing the note, including the covenants and other provisions contained in the indentures governing the notes, remain unchanged.
On April 2, 2009, Lamar Media Corp. entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to its existing senior credit facility dated as of September 30, 2005 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) together with its subsidiary guarantors, its subsidiary borrowers, the Company, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“JPMorgan”) to, among other things (i) reduce the amount of the revolving credit commitments available thereunder from $400,000 to $200,000 (ii) increase the interest rate margins for the revolving credit facility and term loans under the Credit Agreement, (iii) make certain changes to the provisions regarding mandatory prepayments of loans, (iv) amend certain financial covenants and (v) cause Lamar Media and the subsidiary guarantors to pledge additional collateral of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries, including certain owned real estate properties, to secure loans made under the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 4 and the changes it made to the Credit Agreement were effective as of April 6, 2009.
Amendment No. 4 also reduced our incremental loan facility from $500,000 to $300,000. The incremental facility permits Lamar Media to request that its lenders enter into commitments to make additional term loans, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $300,000. Lamar Media’s lenders have no obligation to make additional loans out of the $300,000 incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments at their sole discretion.
On May 28, 2009, the Companies’ stockholders approved an amendment and restatement (“The Amendment”) of our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan. The Amendment: (i) increased the aggregate number of shares our Class A common stock immediately available for issuance by 3,000,000 shares to an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment for stock-splits and similar changes, (ii) amended the 1996 Plan to specifically allow for the repricing of previously granted options, (iii) revised the definition of “Fair Market Value,” and (iv) amended the 1996 Plan to permit us to issue incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, until the tenth anniversary of the approval of the Amendment.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lamar Media Corp.:
We have audited Lamar Media Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Lamar Media Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanyingManagement Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect of which is discussed in Note 15 toon the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In Juneour opinion, Lamar Media Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Lamar Media Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, and the financial statement schedule, and our report dated February 27, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and schedule.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lamar Media Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lamar Media Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and comprehensive income (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 Media Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Lamar Media Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(6) Income Taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretationInterpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, it provides guidance on the measurement, derecognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, as well as the accounting for related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are required to record the impact of adopting FIN 48 as an adjustment to the January 1, 2007 beginning balance of retained earnings rather than our consolidated statement of income.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
| | | | | |
| Balance of December 31, 2007 | | $ | 787 | |
| Plus: additions based on tax positions related to the current year | | | 34 | |
| Plus: additions for tax positions of prior years | | | 47 | |
| Less: reductions made for tax positions of prior years | | | — | |
| Settlements | | | — | |
| | | | | |
| Balance of December 31, 2008 | | $ | 868 | |
| | | | | |
Included in the balance of unrecognized benefits as of December 31, 2008 are $868, benefits that, if recognized in future periods, would impact our effective tax rate.
To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and included in our accrued current tax liability in our consolidated balance sheets. This is an accounting policy election we made that is a continuation of our historical policy and we intend to continue to consistently apply the policy in the future. During 2008, we accrued $47, in gross interest and penalties.
In addition, we are subject to both income taxes in the United States and in many of the 50 individual states. In addition, the Company is subject to income taxes in Canada and in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. We are open to examination in United States and in various individual states for tax years ended December 2004 through December 2006. We are also open to examination for the years ended2002-2003 resulting from net operating losses generated and available for carry forward from those years.
We do not anticipate a significant change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Lamar Media had income taxes receivable of $22,109 included in other current assets and a payable of $12,853 included in accrued expenses, respectively.

| | | | | | | | | |
During 2008, we generated $81,712 of U.S. net operating losses of which $81,712 will be used to carry back to the 2007 and 2006 tax year. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $43,315 of U.S. net operating loss carry forwards remaining to offset future taxable income. Of this amount, $43,315 is subject to an IRC § 382 limitation of $6,772 per year. Theses carry forwards expire between 2022 through 2028. In addition, we have $13,003 of various credits available to offset future U.S. federal income tax.
As of December 31, 2008 we have approximately $223,677 state net operating losses before valuation allowances. These state net operating losses are available to reduce future taxable income and expire at various times and amounts. Management has determined that a valuation allowance related to state net operating loss

carry forwards is necessary. The valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,692 and $2,341, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 was an increase (decrease) of $594, $(772), $(1,706), respectively.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those jurisdictions during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical federal taxable income and projections for future federal taxable income over the periods for which the U.S. deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances at December 31, 2008. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
We have a deferred tax liability of approximately $2,112 for the undistributed earnings of our foreign operations that arose in 2008 and prior years. We have recognized current year tax expense of approximately $821 for the change in this deferred tax liability. As of December 31, 2008, the undistributed earnings of these subsidiaries were approximately $6,034.

| 2. | Stock-Based Compensation |
Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan has reserved 13 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years and include 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant.
We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R),Shared-based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”). The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an aggregate of 1,863,434 shares of its Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2000 ESPP”) has reserved 924,000 shares of common stock for issuance to employees. The 2000 ESPP was terminated following the issuance of all shares that were subject to the offer that commenced under the 2000 ESPP on January 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2009. Our 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors in February 2009 and approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009. The following is a summary of ESPP share activity for the six months ended June 30, 2009:
| | | | |
| | Shares | |
|
| 2000 ESPP Plan Shares available for future purchases, January 1, 2009 | | | 238,087 | |

| | | | |
| Shares available as of June 30, 2009 & transferred to the 2009 ESPP | | | 88,155 | |
| Share reserved for issuance during 2009 | | | 500,000 | |
| | | | |
| Total shares available at June 30, 2009 under the 2009 ESPP Plan | | | 588,155 | |
| | | | |
Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers, employees and directors under our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares to be issued, if any, awarded based upon the achievement of certain enumerated performance goals will be dependent on the level of achievement of these performance measures for key officers and employees, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2009 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2010. The shares subject to

these awards can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100% of the target number of shares depending on the level at which the goals are attained. We also issue shares of restricted and unrestricted stock to our non-employee directors as part of their compensation for board service. Through June 30, 2009, the Company has recorded $238 as compensation expense related to these agreements.

| 3. | Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
On January 1, 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Staff Position No. APB14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB14-1”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertaintyconvertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. FSP APB14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. FSP APB14-1 requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
FSP APB14-1 requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The adoption of FSP APB14-1 affects the accounting for our 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 and 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. The Company used an effective interest rate of 71/2% to calculate the initial debt discount and will amortize this debt discount through December 31, 2010. The carrying amount of the equity component was $24,143 and $24,015 at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount and its net carrying value for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | Net

| June 30, 2009 | | $ | 133,867 | | | $ | 7,600 | | | $ | 126,267 | |

| 6. | Asset Retirement Obligations |
The Company’s asset retirement obligations include the costs associated with the removal of its structures, resurfacing of the land and retirement cost, if applicable, related to the Company’s outdoor advertising portfolio. The following table reflects information related to our asset retirement obligations:

| 7. | Fair Value Hedging — Interest Rate Swaps |
The Company utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps for purposes of hedging its exposure to changing interest rates. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,as amended (“SFAS 133”), requires that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of the statement be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Upon entering into a derivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, or decide that the contract is not a hedge, and thereafter mark the contract to market through earnings. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items, as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for use of the hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception, and on an ongoing basis, whether a derivative instrument used as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income, taxesuntil earnings are affected by the cash flows of the hedged item. When the cash flow of the hedged item is recognized in the statement of operations, the fair value of the associated cash flow hedge is reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings.
Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedging derivative’s change in fair value are recognized currently in earnings as other income (expense). If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss that was recorded in other comprehensive incomes is recognized over the period anticipated in the original hedge transaction.
The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements in December 2007 that mature in December 2009. One interest rate swap converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to 3.89% fixed rate debt, the other converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to 3.99% fixed rate debt. The derivatives were designated as a hedge. The fair market values at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008 were $(3,572) and $(6,212) respectively and are reflected in other liabilities and other comprehensive income on the balance sheet.

other than the senior notes to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances in amounts up to $1,067,143 and $970,420, respectively. Under its senior credit facility, however, if the total holdings debt ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) is greater than 5.5 to 1, or if under the senior notes Lamar Media’s senior leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture for the senior notes) is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1, transfers to Lamar Advertising are subject to additional restrictions. As of June 30, 2009, the total holdings debt ratio was greater than 5.5 to 1 and, therefore, transfers to Lamar Advertising were restricted to the following: (a) payments to allow Lamar Advertising to pay dividends on its outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock and (b) payments in respect of “Qualified Holdings Obligations” (as defined in the senior credit facility), consisting of certain fees, costs and expenses incurred from time to time by Lamar Advertising on behalf of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2009, Lamar Media’s senior leverage ratio was greater than 3.0 to 1 and, therefore, transfers to Lamar Advertising were restricted to a series of baskets specified in the Indenture, including payments of Lamar Media’s operating expenses in an enterprise’s financial statementsaggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed 5% of the total operating expenses of Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries and other restricted payments not in excess $500 in any fiscal year of Lamar Media.
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares resulting from this calculation is 60,020 and 236,594 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and 153,902 and 223,182 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Diluted earnings per share should also reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s convertible debt was converted to common stock. The number of potentially dilutive shares related to the Company’s convertible debt excluded from the calculation because of their antidilutive effect is 3,428,386 and 5,879,893 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and 4,647,367 and 5,879,893 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
On March 27, 2009, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $350,000 in aggregate principal amount ($314,927 gross proceeds) of 93/4% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $307,489. The Notes were sold within the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States only tonon-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes mature on April 1, 2014 and bear interest at a rate of 93/4% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2009. Interest will be computed on the basis of a360-day year comprised of twelve30-day months. The terms of the Notes will, among other things, limit Lamar Media’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock; (ii) make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) have the restricted subsidiaries make payments to Lamar Media; (vi) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of Lamar Media’s or the restricted subsidiaries’ assets; and (vii) sell assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications.
Lamar Media may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any time and from time to time, at a price equal to 109.75% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including additional interest, if any), with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings completed before April 1, 2012. At any time prior to April 1, 2014, Lamar Media may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. In addition, if the

Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), up to but not including the repurchase date.
On March 23, 2009, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. The tender offer expired on April 17, 2009. As a result of the tender offer, the Company accepted for payment $153,633 in principle amount of notes at a purchase price of 92% of the original principal amount of the notes, plus with respect to such convertible notes, all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date of April 20, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, convertible notes not tendered, or tendered and validly withdrawn, in the tender offer remain outstanding, and the terms and conditions governing the note, including the covenants and other provisions contained in the indentures governing the notes, remain unchanged.
On April 2, 2009, Lamar Media Corp. entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to its existing senior credit facility dated as of September 30, 2005 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) together with its subsidiary guarantors, its subsidiary borrowers, the Company, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“JPMorgan”) to, among other things: (i) reduce the amount of the revolving credit commitments available thereunder from $400,000 to $200,000; (ii) increase the interest rate margins for the revolving credit facility and term loans under the Credit Agreement; (iii) make certain changes to the provisions regarding mandatory prepayments of loans; (iv) amend certain financial covenants; and (v) cause Lamar Media and the subsidiary guarantors to pledge additional collateral of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries, including certain owned real estate properties, to secure loans made under the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 4 and the changes it made to the Credit Agreement were effective as of April 6, 2009.
Amendment No. 4 also reduced Lamar Media’s incremental loan facility from $500,000 to $300,000. The incremental facility permits Lamar Media to request that its lenders enter into commitments to make additional term loans, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $300,000. Lamar Media’s lenders have no obligation to make additional loans out of the $300,000 incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments at their sole discretion.

| 11. | Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
At June 30, 2009, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, borrowings and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments and derivative contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The following table provides fair value measurement information for liabilities reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009:

SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the table above, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. When available, we measure fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. We currently do not use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above.
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Long-term debt —The Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes are actively traded in an established market. The fair values of these debt instruments are based on quotes obtained through financial information servicesand/or major financial institutions.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Hedging instrument —We value the interest rate swap liability utilizing a discounted cash flow model that takes into consideration forward interest rates observable in the market and the Company’s credit risk.
On July 2, 2009, the Company completed a tender offer for eligible participants to exchange some or all of certain outstanding options (the “Eligible Options”) for new options to be issued under the Company’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. We have accepted for cancellation Eligible Options to purchase an aggregate of 2,630,474 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, representing 86.2% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock underlying all Eligible Options. In exchange for the Eligible Options surrendered in the Offer, we have issued New Options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,030,819 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock under the 1996 Plan. Each New Option has an exercise price per share of $15.67, the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 2, 2009. Eligible Options not tendered for exchange remain outstanding according to their original terms and subject to the 1996 Plan.
On July 14, 2009, the Company completed a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its then outstanding 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. Upon expiration of the tender offer, the Company accepted for payment $120,415 in principal amount of notes at a purchase price of 97.75% of the original principal amount of the notes, all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the payment date of July 15, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, convertible notes not tendered, or tendered and validly withdrawn, in the tender offer remain outstanding, and the terms and conditions governing the notes, including the covenants and other provisions contained in the indentures governing the notes, remain unchanged. Immediately following the completion of this tender offer, the Company had $13,452 in aggregate principle amount of its 27/8% Convertible Notes remaining, which mature on December 31, 2010.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
| |
| Note 1. | Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies |
Nature of business: Vista Media Group, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Z-Spanish Media Corporation which is wholly owned by Entravision Communications Corporation (the Parent Company) (NYSE: EVC). The Company is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating approximately 11,000 outdoor advertising displays which are located primarily in New York and California. The Parent Company reported the Company as held for sale in its 2007 consolidated balance sheet. On May 16, 2008, the Parent Company sold the Company, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, to Lamar Advertising of Penn, LLC for $100 million in cash (see Note 8).
Accounting and reporting policies: The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting and reporting policies is as follows:
Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Seaboard Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc. and Sale Point Posters, Inc. Both of these subsidiaries are inactive. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited interim financial statements: The interim financial statements of Vista Media Group, Inc. as of March 31, 2008, and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Refer to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s operations are affected by numerous factors, including priorities of advertisers, new laws and governmental regulations and policies and technological advances. The Company cannot predict if any of these factors might have a significant impact on the outdoor advertising industry in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Company’s operations and cash flows. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, the recoverability of such assets by their estimated future undiscounted cash flows, impairment of goodwill and deferred taxes.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds held in general checking accounts.
Long-lived assets, including intangibles subject to amortization: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The Company periodically evaluates assets to he held and used and long-lived assets held for sale, when events and circumstances warrant such review.
Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
F-70
VISTA MEDIA GROUP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Changes in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances or changes to the Company’s business strategy, could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of a long-lived asset should he revised, the Company will amortize or depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life.
Long-lived assets and asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. During 2007 the Parent Company reported an impairment loss on the Company’s customer list as a result of theheld-for-sale accounting applied by the Parent Company. However, for purposes of these separate Company financial statements which reflect the continuing operations of Vista Media Group, Inc., the long-lived assets are classified as held and used accordingly, the Company’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows indicated that such carrying amounts were expected to be recovered; therefore, no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets is deemed to exist. If changes in the market result in significant reductions of the cash flows, an impairment loss might result. However, no such impairment has been identified as of March 31, 2008 (unaudited).
Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company must make assumptions about the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of this asset. The annual testing date is October 1. (See Note 2 for discussion regarding impairment of goodwill in 2007.)
Assumptions about future revenue and cash flows require significant judgment because of the current state of the economy, the fluctuation of actual revenue and the timing of expenses. The Company’s management develops future revenue estimates based on customer commitments and available advertising space. Estimates of future cash flows assume that expenses will grow at rates consistent with historical rates. If the expected cash flows are not realized, impairment losses may be recorded in the future. Whether or not there is an impairment may result from, among other things, an analysis of performance: the proposed use or sale of assets; market conditions; changes in applicable laws and regulations, including changes that affect the activities of or the products or services sold; and other factors. The amount of any quantified impairment charge is required to be expensed to operations.
Management has determined that the Company operates as a single reporting unit. For goodwill, the impairment evaluation includes a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit (including goodwill) to that reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit’s carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the unit’s carrying value, then an additional analysis is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if that unit had been acquired in a business combination and the
F-71
VISTA MEDIA GROUP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
fair value of the unit was the purchase price. If the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is less than the carrying value of the unit’s goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
Concentrations of credit risk and trade receivables: The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. A valuation allowance is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.
Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the financial statements through a charge to expense in the amount of $67 thousand, $52 thousand, $278 thousand and $274 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net charge-off of bad debts totaled $199 thousand, $139 thousand, $218 thousand and $186 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue is included in other liabilities on the balance sheets and consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income as services are provided over the term of the contract.
Income taxes: In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, the Company has used the separate return method and computes its tax expense as if it is filing separate tax returns for federal, California and New York. The Company elected to use the separate return method because, in the opinion of the Company’s management, this method is a systematic and rational approach to presenting income taxes in a manner consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,AccountingShared-based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”). The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for Income Taxes(“SFAS No. 109”). This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and thus will be adoptedan aggregate of 1,863,434 shares of its Class A common stock during the first quarter of 2007. FIN 48 provides a two-step approach to recognize and measure tax benefits when the benefits’ realization is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit is to be recognized; the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized. Income tax benefits should be recognized when, based on the technical merits of a tax position, the entity believes that if a dispute arose with the taxing authority and were taken to a court of last resort, it is more likely than not (i.e. a probability of greater than 50 percent) that the tax position would be sustained as filed. If a position is determined to be more likely than not of being sustained, the reporting enterprise should recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 upon adoption will be reported as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. We have assessed the effect of the adoption of FIN 48 and have concluded that the effect of the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

| 3. | Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
On January 1, 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Staff Position No. APB14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB14-1”), which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. FSP APB14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. FSP APB14-1 requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
FSP APB14-1 requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The adoption of FSP APB14-1 affects the accounting for our 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 and 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. The Company used an effective interest rate of 71/2% to calculate the initial debt discount and will amortize this debt discount through December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations2010. The carrying amount of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal-Control Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Lamar Media’s management has concluded that, as ofequity component was $24,143 and $24,015 at December 31, 2006, Lamar Media’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount and its net carrying value for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 are as follows:

| 7. | Fair Value Hedging — Interest Rate Swaps |
The Company utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps for purposes of hedging its exposure to changing interest rates. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,as amended (“SFAS 133”), requires that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of the statement be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Upon entering into a derivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, or decide that the contract is not a hedge, and thereafter mark the contract to market through earnings. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items, as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for use of the hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception, and on an ongoing basis, whether a derivative instrument used as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the cash flows of the hedged item. When the cash flow of the hedged item is recognized in the statement of operations, the fair value of the associated cash flow hedge is reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings.
Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedging derivative’s change in fair value are recognized currently in earnings as other income (expense). If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss that was recorded in other comprehensive incomes is recognized over the period anticipated in the original hedge transaction.
The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements in December 2007 that mature in December 2009. One interest rate swap converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to 3.89% fixed rate debt, the other converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to 3.99% fixed rate debt. The derivatives were designated as a hedge. The fair market values at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008 were $(3,572) and $(6,212) respectively and are reflected in other liabilities and other comprehensive income on the balance sheet.

| 8. | Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries |
Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under both the terms of the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes and by the terms of its senior credit facility. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Lamar Media was permitted under the terms of its outstanding notes

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(In thousands, except for share and per share data)
other than the senior notes to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances in amounts up to $1,067,143 and $970,420, respectively. Under its senior credit facility, however, if the total holdings debt ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) is greater than 5.5 to 1, or if under the senior notes Lamar Media’s senior leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture for the senior notes) is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1, transfers to Lamar Advertising are subject to additional restrictions. As of June 30, 2009, the total holdings debt ratio was greater than 5.5 to 1 and, therefore, transfers to Lamar Advertising were restricted to the following: (a) payments to allow Lamar Advertising to pay dividends on its outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock and (b) payments in respect of “Qualified Holdings Obligations” (as defined in the senior credit facility), consisting of certain fees, costs and expenses incurred from time to time by Lamar Advertising on behalf of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2009, Lamar Media’s senior leverage ratio was greater than 3.0 to 1 and, therefore, transfers to Lamar Advertising were restricted to a series of baskets specified in the Indenture, including payments of Lamar Media’s operating expenses in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed 5% of the total operating expenses of Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries and other restricted payments not in excess $500 in any fiscal year of Lamar Media.
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares resulting from this calculation is 60,020 and 236,594 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and 153,902 and 223,182 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Diluted earnings per share should also reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s convertible debt was converted to common stock. The number of potentially dilutive shares related to the Company’s convertible debt excluded from the calculation because of their antidilutive effect is 3,428,386 and 5,879,893 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and 4,647,367 and 5,879,893 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
On March 27, 2009, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $350,000 in aggregate principal amount ($314,927 gross proceeds) of 93/4% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $307,489. The Notes were sold within the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States only tonon-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes mature on April 1, 2014 and bear interest at a rate of 93/4% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2009. Interest will be computed on the basis of a360-day year comprised of twelve30-day months. The terms of the Notes will, among other things, limit Lamar Media’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock; (ii) make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) have the restricted subsidiaries make payments to Lamar Media; (vi) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of Lamar Media’s or the restricted subsidiaries’ assets; and (vii) sell assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications.
Lamar Media may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any time and from time to time, at a price equal to 109.75% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including additional interest, if any), with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings completed before April 1, 2012. At any time prior to April 1, 2014, Lamar Media may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. In addition, if the

Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), up to but not including the repurchase date.
On March 23, 2009, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. The tender offer expired on April 17, 2009. As a result of the tender offer, the Company accepted for payment $153,633 in principle amount of notes at a purchase price of 92% of the original principal amount of the notes, plus with respect to such convertible notes, all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date of April 20, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, convertible notes not tendered, or tendered and validly withdrawn, in the tender offer remain outstanding, and the terms and conditions governing the note, including the covenants and other provisions contained in the indentures governing the notes, remain unchanged.
On April 2, 2009, Lamar Media Corp.: entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to its existing senior credit facility dated as of September 30, 2005 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) together with its subsidiary guarantors, its subsidiary borrowers, the Company, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“JPMorgan”) to, among other things: (i) reduce the amount of the revolving credit commitments available thereunder from $400,000 to $200,000; (ii) increase the interest rate margins for the revolving credit facility and term loans under the Credit Agreement; (iii) make certain changes to the provisions regarding mandatory prepayments of loans; (iv) amend certain financial covenants; and (v) cause Lamar Media and the subsidiary guarantors to pledge additional collateral of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries, including certain owned real estate properties, to secure loans made under the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 4 and the changes it made to the Credit Agreement were effective as of April 6, 2009.
Amendment No. 4 also reduced Lamar Media’s incremental loan facility from $500,000 to $300,000. The incremental facility permits Lamar Media to request that its lenders enter into commitments to make additional term loans, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $300,000. Lamar Media’s lenders have no obligation to make additional loans out of the $300,000 incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments at their sole discretion.

| 11. | Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
At June 30, 2009, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, borrowings and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments and derivative contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The following table provides fair value measurement information for liabilities reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009:

SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the table above, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. When available, we measure fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. We currently do not use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above.
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Long-term debt —The Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes are actively traded in an established market. The fair values of these debt instruments are based on quotes obtained through financial information servicesand/or major financial institutions.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Hedging instrument —We value the interest rate swap liability utilizing a discounted cash flow model that takes into consideration forward interest rates observable in the market and the Company’s credit risk.
On July 2, 2009, the Company completed a tender offer for eligible participants to exchange some or all of certain outstanding options (the “Eligible Options”) for new options to be issued under the Company’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. We have accepted for cancellation Eligible Options to purchase an aggregate of 2,630,474 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, representing 86.2% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock underlying all Eligible Options. In exchange for the Eligible Options surrendered in the Offer, we have issued New Options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,030,819 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock under the 1996 Plan. Each New Option has an exercise price per share of $15.67, the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 2, 2009. Eligible Options not tendered for exchange remain outstanding according to their original terms and subject to the 1996 Plan.
On July 14, 2009, the Company completed a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its then outstanding 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. Upon expiration of the tender offer, the Company accepted for payment $120,415 in principal amount of notes at a purchase price of 97.75% of the original principal amount of the notes, all accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the payment date of July 15, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, convertible notes not tendered, or tendered and validly withdrawn, in the tender offer remain outstanding, and the terms and conditions governing the notes, including the covenants and other provisions contained in the indentures governing the notes, remain unchanged. Immediately following the completion of this tender offer, the Company had $13,452 in aggregate principle amount of its 27/8% Convertible Notes remaining, which mature on December 31, 2010.

Independent Auditor’s Report
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Lamarconsolidated balance sheets of Vista Media Corp. (the Company) maintained effective internal control over financial reportingGroup, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Entravision Communications Corporation) as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Lamar Media Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting2007 and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Lamar Media Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Lamar Media Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

TheChanges in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances or changes to the Company’s business strategy, could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. Factors such as changes in the grossplanned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of a long-lived asset should he revised, the Company will amortize or depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life.
Long-lived assets and asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwillsuch assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144,Accounting for the year ended DecemberImpairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. During 2007 the Parent Company reported an impairment loss on the Company’s customer list as a result of theheld-for-sale accounting applied by the Parent Company. However, for purposes of these separate Company financial statements which reflect the continuing operations of Vista Media Group, Inc., the long-lived assets are classified as held and used accordingly, the Company’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows indicated that such carrying amounts were expected to be recovered; therefore, no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets is deemed to exist. If changes in the market result in significant reductions of the cash flows, an impairment loss might result. However, no such impairment has been identified as of March 31, 2006 are as follows:

2008 (unaudited).
(4) Accrued ExpensesGoodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company must make assumptions about the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of this asset. The annual testing date is October 1. (See Note 2 for discussion regarding impairment of goodwill in 2007.)
Assumptions about future revenue and cash flows require significant judgment because of the current state of the economy, the fluctuation of actual revenue and the timing of expenses. The followingCompany’s management develops future revenue estimates based on customer commitments and available advertising space. Estimates of future cash flows assume that expenses will grow at rates consistent with historical rates. If the expected cash flows are not realized, impairment losses may be recorded in the future. Whether or not there is a summaryan impairment may result from, among other things, an analysis of accrued expenses at December 31, 2006performance: the proposed use or sale of assets; market conditions; changes in applicable laws and 2005:

(5) Long-term Debt
Long-term debt consistsManagement has determined that the Company operates as a single reporting unit. For goodwill, the impairment evaluation includes a comparison of the following at December 31, 2006carrying value of the reporting unit (including goodwill) to that reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit’s carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the unit’s carrying value, then an additional analysis is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and 2005:

Income taxConcentrations of credit risk and trade receivables: The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. A valuation allowance is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.
Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the financial statements through a charge to expense (benefit)in the amount of $67 thousand, $52 thousand, $278 thousand and $274 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, 2005respectively.

Income taxes:In assessingconnection with the realizabilitypreparation of deferredthese financial statements, the Company has used the separate return method and computes its tax assets, management considers whetherexpense as if it is more likely than not that some portion or all offiling separate tax returns for federal, California and New York. The Company elected to use the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periodsseparate return method because, in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that Lamar Media will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

2. | Stock-Based Compensation |
Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan has reserved 10 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years which primarily includes 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant.
We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards under Statement of Financial Accounting StandardStandards (SFAS) No. 123(R),109,Shared-based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”). The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an aggregate of 52,0001,863,434 shares of its Class A common stock during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2009.
Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar’sLamar Advertising’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2000 ESPP”) has reserved 924,000 shares of common stock for issuance to employees. The 2000 ESPP was terminated following the issuance of all shares that were subject to the offer that commenced under the 2000 ESPP on January 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2009. Our 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors in February 2009 and approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009.

| 3. | Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
On January 1, 2009, we adopted the executive performance basedFinancial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Staff Position No. APB14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB14-1”), which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. FSP APB14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the liability and non-employee director agreements.equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. FSP APB14-1 requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
FSP APB14-1 requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The adoption of FSP APB14-1 affects the accounting for our 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 and 27/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 — Series B. The Company used an effective interest rate of 71/2% to calculate the initial debt discount and will amortize this debt discount through December 31, 2010. The carrying amount of the equity component was $24,143 and $24,015 at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The principal amount of the liability component, its unamortized discount and its net carrying value for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| 7. | Long Term DebtFair Value Hedging — Interest Rate Swaps |
On March 28, 2007, Lamar Media Corp.The Company utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps for purposes of hedging its exposure to changing interest rates. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,as amended (“SFAS 133”), requires that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of the statement be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Upon entering into a wholly-owned subsidiaryderivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, or decide that the contract is not a hedge, and thereafter mark the contract to market through earnings. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items, as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for use of Lamar Advertisingthe hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception, and on an ongoing basis, whether a derivative instrument used as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the cash flows of the hedged item. When the cash flow of the hedged item is recognized in the statement of operations, the fair value of the associated cash flow hedge is reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings.
Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedging derivative’s change in fair value are recognized currently in earnings as other income (expense). If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss that was recorded in other comprehensive incomes is recognized over the period anticipated in the original hedge transaction.
The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements in December 2007 that mature in December 2009. One interest rate swap converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to 3.89% fixed rate debt, the other converts $100,000 of variable rate debt to 3.99% fixed rate debt. The derivatives were designated as a Series E Incremental Loan Agreement withhedge. The fair market values at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008 were $(3,572) and $(6,212) respectively and are reflected in other liabilities and other comprehensive income on the balance sheet.

SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to stockholders of record on March 22, 2007valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the aggregate amounttable above, this hierarchy consists of $318,303.three broad levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. When available, we measure fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. We currently do not use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above.
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Long-term debt —The Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes are actively traded in an established market. The fair values of these debt instruments are based on quotes obtained through financial information servicesand/or major financial institutions.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Hedging instrument —We value the interest rate swap liability utilizing a discounted cash flow model that takes into consideration forward interest rates observable in the market and the Company’s credit risk.

| 12. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Accounting Standard No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“Statement 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on these instruments in earnings. Statement 159 is effective as of January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect any material financial statement implications relating to the adoption of this Statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“Statement 157”). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles “(GAAP)”, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, Statement 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of Statement 157 will change current practice. Statement 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within these fiscal years. We are assessing the impact of Statement 157, which we do not expect to have an impact on our financial position, results or operations or cash flows.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.

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 Vista Media Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

| Note 1. | Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies |
Nature of business: Vista Media Group, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Z-Spanish Media Corporation which is wholly owned by Entravision Communications Corporation (the Parent Company) (NYSE: EVC). The Company is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating approximately 11,000 outdoor advertising displays which are located primarily in New York and California. The Parent Company reported the Company as held for sale in its 2007 consolidated balance sheet. On May 16, 2008, the Parent Company sold the Company, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, to Lamar Advertising of Penn, LLC for $100 million in cash (see Note 8).
Accounting and reporting policies: The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting and reporting policies is as follows:
Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Seaboard Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc. and Sale Point Posters, Inc. Both of these subsidiaries are inactive. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited interim financial statements: The interim financial statements of Vista Media Group, Inc. as of March 31, 2008, and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Refer to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s operations are affected by numerous factors, including priorities of advertisers, new laws and governmental regulations and policies and technological advances. The Company cannot predict if any of these factors might have a significant impact on the outdoor advertising industry in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Company’s operations and cash flows. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, the recoverability of such assets by their estimated future undiscounted cash flows, impairment of goodwill and deferred taxes.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds held in general checking accounts.
Long-lived assets, including intangibles subject to amortization: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The Company periodically evaluates assets to he held and used and long-lived assets held for sale, when events and circumstances warrant such review.
Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
F-70
VISTA MEDIA GROUP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Changes in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances or changes to the Company’s business strategy, could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of a long-lived asset should he revised, the Company will amortize or depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life.
Long-lived assets and asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. During 2007 the Parent Company reported an impairment loss on the Company’s customer list as a result of theheld-for-sale accounting applied by the Parent Company. However, for purposes of these separate Company financial statements which reflect the continuing operations of Vista Media Group, Inc., the long-lived assets are classified as held and used accordingly, the Company’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows indicated that such carrying amounts were expected to be recovered; therefore, no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets is deemed to exist. If changes in the market result in significant reductions of the cash flows, an impairment loss might result. However, no such impairment has been identified as of March 31, 2008 (unaudited).
Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company must make assumptions about the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of this asset. The annual testing date is October 1. (See Note 2 for discussion regarding impairment of goodwill in 2007.)
Assumptions about future revenue and cash flows require significant judgment because of the current state of the economy, the fluctuation of actual revenue and the timing of expenses. The Company’s management develops future revenue estimates based on customer commitments and available advertising space. Estimates of future cash flows assume that expenses will grow at rates consistent with historical rates. If the expected cash flows are not realized, impairment losses may be recorded in the future. Whether or not there is an impairment may result from, among other things, an analysis of performance: the proposed use or sale of assets; market conditions; changes in applicable laws and regulations, including changes that affect the activities of or the products or services sold; and other factors. The amount of any quantified impairment charge is required to be expensed to operations.
Management has determined that the Company operates as a single reporting unit. For goodwill, the impairment evaluation includes a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit (including goodwill) to that reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit’s carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the unit’s carrying value, then an additional analysis is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if that unit had been acquired in a business combination and the
F-71
VISTA MEDIA GROUP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
fair value of the unit was the purchase price. If the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is less than the carrying value of the unit’s goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
Concentrations of credit risk and trade receivables: The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. A valuation allowance is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.
Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the financial statements through a charge to expense in the amount of $67 thousand, $52 thousand, $278 thousand and $274 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net charge-off of bad debts totaled $199 thousand, $139 thousand, $218 thousand and $186 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue is included in other liabilities on the balance sheets and consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income as services are provided over the term of the contract.
Income taxes: In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, the Company has used the separate return method and computes its tax expense as if it is filing separate tax returns for federal, California and New York. The Company elected to use the separate return method because, in the opinion of the Company’s management, this method is a systematic and rational approach to presenting income taxes in a manner consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.
The Company is a member of a group that files consolidated federal and combined state tax returns. Accordingly, income taxes payable to (refundable from) the tax authorities is recognized on the financial statements of the Parent Company who is the taxpayer for income tax purposes. The members of the consolidated group allocate payments to any member of the group for the income tax reduction resulting from the member’s inclusion in the consolidated return, or the member makes payments to the Parent Company for its allocated share of the consolidated income tax liability. This allocation approximates the amounts that would be reported if the Company was separately filing its tax returns. The result of these allocations is reported on the accompanying balance sheets as part of the payable to Parent Company. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited), the Company contributed tax losses to the consolidated group and, as a result, the payable to the Parent Company was reduced by the tax benefit provided.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is determined to be more likely than

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 sets out the use of a single comprehensive model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by establishing the minimum recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective as of the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year, and there was no cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle required to be recorded as an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit.
Advertising costs: Amounts incurred for advertising costs with third parties are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $75 thousand, $42 thousand, $187 thousand and $232 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited), and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Legal costs: Amounts incurred for legal costs that pertain to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Repairs and maintenance: All costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue, net of agency commissions, if any, on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as services are provided. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon completion of the sale.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2008. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on the financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to measure eligible financial instruments, commitments and certain other arrangements at fair value at specified election dates with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R,Business Combinations, which requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 141R is effective beginning in the first quarter 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141R on the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment: In accordance with the Company’s 2007 annual fourth quarter impairment test, the Company determined that its carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value as a result of a sustained, marginal underperformance of expected operating results and a general slowing of growth in the outdoor business over recent quarters.
The fair value of the Company was estimated to be $100 million, reflecting the current market value and the expected proceeds to be realized from the sale, which was then completed in May 2008 (see Note 8).

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is included in the table below.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. The amount of the net operating loss carryforwards and the expiration dates are as follows (in thousands):

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
A valuation allowance in the amount of $18.4 million and $11.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, has been recorded against the net deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate sufficient taxable income to recover this asset. As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s utilization of its available net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income is not restricted pursuant to the “change in ownership” rules in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). However in subsequent periods, the utilization of its available net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income may be restricted pursuant to the “change in ownership” rules in Section 382 of the IRC. These rules in general provide that an ownership change occurs when the percentage shareholdings of 5% direct or indirect shareholders of a loss corporation have in aggregate increased by more than 50 percentage points during the immediately preceding three years.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 sets out the use of a single comprehensive model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by establishing the minimum recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company identified no significant uncertain tax positions. Although no such amounts occurred during the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements, it is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, California and New York and various other states. The Parent Company remains subject to examination in major taxing jurisdictions for the 2003 to 2007 tax years. The Parent Company is currently in the initial examination phase of an Internal Revenue Service audit for the year 2005 and the outcome to the Company is not yet determinable.

| Note 6. | Commitments and Related-party Transactions |
The Company has noncancelable agreements with certain media research and ratings providers. As of December 31, 2007, these agreements expire in January 2010 and obligate the Company to pay a total of $265 thousand, with annual commitments ranging from $85 thousand to $92 thousand.
The Company’s corporate offices are located in Los Angeles, California. The Company utilizes a minimal amount of space in the building housing Entravision’s radio network. There is no lease agreement and no rent expense paid by the Company for use of this space. The Company also has offices located in La Mirada, California, New York, New York, and Dallas, Texas. The leases require the Company to pay taxes and insurance and minor repairs. The leases require monthly payments of approximately $47 thousand and mature between February and December 2010.
Although certain of the display leases are noncancelable, substantially all of the Company’s outdoor advertising structures are located on property pursuant to leases that automatically renew unless either the property owner or the Company opts out upon proper notice.

The approximate future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable operating leases at December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

Total rent expense under operating leases, including rent undermonth-to-month arrangements, was approximately $7 million, $5 million, $22 million and $21 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited), and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Employee bonuses: The Company has agreed to pay bonuses to certain employees in connection with the sale of the Company. The total amount accrued for employee bonuses at March 31, 2008 (unaudited) and December 31, 2007, respectively, was $720 thousand and $240 thousand.
Other related-party amounts: Included on the Company’s consolidated balances are non-interest-bearing amounts payable to Parent Company and receivable from related party. The payable was originally established to record the amount financed by the Parent Company in connection with its 2000 acquisition of the Company and has been subsequently adjusted for operating amounts between the Parent Company and the Company. Similarly, the receivable from related party represents operating amounts paid by the Company and due from the Parent Company’s affiliated radio network subsidiary. As no right of offset exists, these amounts are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects that each of these balances will be forgiven and therefore written off in 2008 in connection with the sale of the Company as described in Note 8.
The Company is subject to various outstanding claims and other legal proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any liability of the Company that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
On February 28, 2008, the Parent Company announced that it had entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell the Company to Lamar Advertising Penn, LLC for a total consideration of $100 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The sale was completed in May 2008.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Lamar Advertising (“Lamar”) and the historical financial statements of Vista Media Group, Inc. (“Vista”), which Lamar acquired on May 16, 2008, for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with Lamar’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in Lamar’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Lamar’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included in Lamar’s Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Vista as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2007, in the case of the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income and at March 31, 2008 in the case of the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet. The acquisition of Vista has been accounted for as a purchase in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The total cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the preliminary estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of May 16, 2008. The excess of purchase price over the preliminary fair values of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is subject to the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on income from operations may differ from the pro forma amounts included in this Current Report onForm 8-K/A. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements presented below do not reflect any anticipated operating efficiencies or cost savings from the integration of the Vista business into Lamar’s business.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions Lamar’s management believes are reasonable, but are subject to change. Lamar has made, in the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not purport to represent what Lamar’s results of operations or financial position actually would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated of to project Lamar’s financial position as of any future date or results of operations for any future period.

Our By-laws provide that any person who is made a party to any action or proceeding because such person is or was our director or officer will be indemnified and held harmless against all claims, liabilities and expenses, including those expenses incurred in defending a claim and amounts paid or agreed to be paid in connection with reasonable settlements made before final adjudication with the approval of the Board of Directors, if such person hasacted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not acted, or inopposed to the judgmentbest interests of our shareholders or directors has not acted, with willful or intentional misconduct.the company.

| Item 21. | Exhibits and financial statement schedules. |
(a) See Exhibit Index immediately following the signature pages.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
