                  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


      The following sets forth unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial information for Lamar Advertising Company ("Lamar").  The unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 gives effect to the acquisition of Outdoor Communications,
Inc.  (as filed in Lamar's Form 8-K/A filed June 8, 1999) and the proposed
acquisition by Lamar (the "Stock Purchase") of all of the outstanding capital
stock of Chancellor Media Outdoor Corporation ("Chancellor Outdoor") as if the
transactions had occurred on January 1, 1998.  The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1999 gives effect to the proposed Stock Purchase as if the transaction had
occurred on January 1, 1998.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 gives effect to the Stock Purchase as if the
transaction had occurred on March 31, 1999.

      For purposes of the pro forma financial information:  (i) the pro forma
statement of operations of Lamar for the year ended December 31, 1998 (as
adjusted for the Outdoor Communications, Inc. acquisition) has been combined
with the statement of operations of Chancellor Outdoor for the period July 22,
1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998, the statement of operations of Martin
Media L.P. ("Martin Media") for the seven months ended July 31, 1998, the
statement of operations of Martin & MacFarlane, Inc. ("Martin & MacFarlane")
for the seven months ended July 31, 1998 and the statement of income of the
outdoor advertising division of Whiteco Industries, Inc. ("Whiteco") for the
eleven months ended November 30, 1998; (ii) the statement of operations of
Lamar for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 has been combined with
the statement of operations of Chancellor Outdoor for the same period, and (iii)
the balance sheet of Lamar as of March 31, 1999 has been combined with the
balance sheet of Chancellor Outdoor as of March 31, 1999.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give
effect to the acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting.  The pro
forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based on
preliminary estimates and certain assumptions that management of Lamar believes
reasonable under the circumstances.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by Lamar's management.  The unaudited pro forma data is not
designed to represent and does not represent what Lamar's results of operations
or financial position would have been had the Stock Purchase and the acquisition
of Outdoor Communications, Inc. been completed on or as of the dates assumed,
and is not intended to project Lamar's results of operations for any future
period or as of any future date.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes of Lamar,
Chancellor Outdoor, Martin Media, Martin & MacFarlane, Whiteco and
Outdoor Communications, Inc.

the following adjustments have been made:





                                                                                                 12/31/98               03/31/99

         (1)         To eliminate expenses in Chancellor Outdoor's combined financial
                     statement related to management fees that would not have existed had
                     the Stock Purchase taken place at the beginning of the year

                     General and administrative expenses                                              (2,734)                 - -

                     due to the application of purchase accounting.
                     Depreciation and amortization are calculated using
                     accelerated and straight line methods over the estimated
                     useful lives of the assets generally from 5-15 years.                            97,754                  5,799

                     and record interest expense related to the debt acquired
                     and incurred in the Stock Purchase. (A difference of .125% in the
                     rate of interest would have changed income by $875 and
                     $216 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and three months
