On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company completed a corporate reorganization
to create a new holding company structure. The reorganization was accomplished
through a merger under section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
At the effective time of the merger, all stockholders of Lamar Advertising
Company became stockholders in a new holding company and Lamar Advertising
Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company. The new
holding company took the Lamar Advertising Company name and the old Lamar
Advertising Company was renamed Lamar Media Corp. In the merger, all outstanding
shares of old Lamar Advertising Company's capital stock were converted into
shares of the new holding company with the same voting powers, designations,
preferences and rights, and the same qualifications, restrictions and
limitations, as the shares of old Lamar Advertising Company. Following the
restructuring, the Class A common stock of the new holding company trades under
the symbol "LAMR" on the Nasdaq National Market with the same CUSIP number as
the old Lamar Advertising Company's Class A common stock.
In this annual report, "Lamar," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to
Lamar Advertising Company and its consolidated subsidiaries with respect to
periods following the reorganization and to old Lamar Advertising Company with
respect to periods prior to the reorganization, except where we make it clear
that we are only referring to Lamar Media Corp. or a particular subsidiary.
In addition, "Lamar Media" and "Media" refer to Lamar Media Corp. and its
consolidated subsidiaries with respect to periods following the reorganization
and to old Lamar Advertising Company with respect to periods prior to the
reorganization, except where we make it clear that we are only referring to
Lamar Media Corp. or a particular subsidiary.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Lamar is one of the largest and most experienced owners and operators of outdoor
advertising structures in the United States. The Company conducts a business
that has operated under the Lamar name since 1902. As of December 31, 2000, the
Company operated approximately 131,000 outdoor advertising displays in 43
states. The Company also operates the largest logo sign business in the United
States. Logo signs are signs located near highway exits which deliver brand name
information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. As of December
31, 2000, the Company maintained over 90,500 logo sign displays in 20 states and
the province of Ontario, Canada. The Company also operates transit advertising
displays on bus shelters, bus benches and buses in several markets.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
The Company's overall business strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor
advertising in the markets it serves. This strategy includes the following
elements:
OPERATING STRATEGY:
HIGH QUALITY LOCAL SALES AND SERVICE. Local advertising constituted
approximately 73% of the Company's net revenues in 2000, which management
believes is higher than the industry average. The Company attempts to identify
and closely monitor the needs of its customers and seeks to provide them with
quality advertising products at a lower cost than competitive media.
At December 31, 2000, the Company's 707-person sales force was supported by 137
full-service offices. Each salesperson is compensated under a performance-based
compensation system and supervised by a sales manager executing a coordinated
marketing plan. Art departments assist local customers in the development and
production of creative, effective advertisements.
CENTRALIZED CONTROL/DECENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT. Management believes that in 137 of
the 150 markets in which the Company operated at December 31, 2000, the Company
is the only outdoor advertising company offering a full complement of outdoor
advertising services coupled with local production facilities, management and
account executives. Local offices operate in defined geographic areas and
function essentially as independent business units, consistent with senior
management's philosophy that a decentralized organization is more responsive to
particular local market demands.
-3-
4
The Company maintains centralized accounting and financial control over its
local operations, but local managers are responsible for the day-to-day
operations in each local market and are compensated according to that market's
financial performance. Each local manager reports to one of nine regional
managers who in turn report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
GROWTH STRATEGY:
INTERNAL GROWTH. Within its existing markets, the Company enhances revenue and
cash flow growth by employing highly targeted local marketing efforts to improve
display occupancy rates and by increasing advertising rates. This strategy is
facilitated through its local sales and service offices, which allow management
to respond quickly to the demands of its local customer base. In addition, the
Company routinely invests in upgrading its existing structures and constructing
new display faces in order to provide quality service to its current customers
and to attract new advertisers.
ACQUISITIONS. Aggressive internal growth is enhanced by focused strategic
acquisitions, resulting in increased operating efficiencies, greater geographic
diversification and increased market penetration. The Company has completed over
320 acquisitions of outdoor advertising businesses since 1983. In addition to
acquiring positions in new markets, the Company purchases smaller outdoor
advertising properties within existing or contiguous markets. Acquisitions offer
opportunities for inter-market cross-selling and the opportunity to centralize
and combine accounting and administrative functions, thereby achieving economies
of scale. In addition, the Company leverages its reputation for high quality
local sales and service by taking advantage of opportunities to acquire
high-profile bulletin displays that may become available in larger markets.
Although the acquisition market is becoming more competitive, the Company
believes that there will be future opportunities for implementing the Company's
acquisition strategy given the industry's fragmentation and current
consolidation trends.
During 2000, the Company increased the number of outdoor advertising displays it
operates by approximately 12% by acquiring outdoor advertising assets, including
the completion of over 100 strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising
businesses as well as isolated purchases of outdoor advertising displays.
Certain of the Company's principal acquisitions since January 1, 2000 are
described below:
AZTEC GROUP, INC.
On January 14, 2000, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock
of Aztec Group, Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $34.5 million. The
purchase price consisted of approximately $5.3 million cash and the issuance of
481,481 shares of Lamar Advertising Company Class A common stock valued at
approximately $29.2 million.
OUTDOOR WEST, INC.
Effective May 1, 2000, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock
of Outdoor West, Inc. for a total cash purchase price of approximately $39.3
million.
ADVANTAGE OUTDOOR COMPANY, INC.
On May 24, 2000, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of
Advantage Outdoor Company, Inc. for a cash purchase price of approximately $76.8
million and the issuance of 2,300,000 shares of Lamar Advertising Company's
Class A common stock valued at approximately $92.8 million.
TYLER MEDIA GROUP, INC.
On July 1, 2000, the Company purchased the stock of Tyler Media Group, Inc. for
a purchase price of approximately $31.0 million. The purchase price consisted of
approximately $4.5 million cash and the issuance of 611,764 shares of Lamar
Advertising Company Class A common stock valued at approximately $26.5 million.
-4-
5
ROOT OUTDOOR ADVERTISING, INC.
On July 21, 2000, the Company purchased the assets of Root Outdoor Advertising,
Inc. for a total cash purchase price of approximately $41.1 million.
LOGO SIGNS
The Company entered the business of logo sign advertising in 1988. The Company
is now the largest provider of logo sign services in the United States,
operating 21 of the 26 privatized state logo sign contracts. The Company also
operates the tourism signage contracts in seven states and the province of
Ontario, Canada.
The Company plans to pursue additional logo sign contracts, through both new
contract awards and, possibly, the acquisition of other logo sign operators.
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, the Company plans to
pursue additional tourism signage programs in Canada and is seeking to expand
into other state-authorized signage programs, such as those involving
directional signs providing tourist information.
TRANSIT AND OTHER
The Company entered into the transit advertising business through the operation
of displays on bus shelters, benches and buses in 31 of its outdoor advertising
markets, two markets in South Carolina, two markets in Utah, one market in
California, one market in Florida and one in Colorado. The Company plans to
continue pursuing transit advertising opportunities that arise in its primary
markets and to expand into other markets.

COMPANY OPERATIONS
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
INVENTORY:
The Company operates the following types of outdoor advertising displays:
BULLETINS generally are 14 feet high and 48 feet wide (672 square feet) and
consist of panels on which advertising copy is displayed. The advertising copy
is either hand painted onto the panels at the Company's facilities in accordance
with design specifications supplied by the advertiser and attached to the
outdoor advertising structure, or printed with computer-generated graphics on a
single sheet of vinyl that is wrapped around the structure. On occasion, 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.
STANDARDIZED POSTERS generally are 12 feet high by 25 feet wide (300 square
feet) and are the most common type of billboard. Advertising copy for these
posters consists of lithographed or silk-screened paper sheets supplied by the
advertiser that are pasted and applied like wallpaper to the face of the
display, or single sheets of vinyl with computer-generated advertising copy that
are wrapped around the structure. Standardized posters are concentrated on major
traffic arteries.
JUNIOR POSTERS usually are 6 feet high by 12 feet wide (72 square feet).
Displays are prepared and mounted in the same manner as standardized posters,
except that vinyl sheets are not typically used on junior posters. Most junior
posters, because of their smaller size, are concentrated on city streets and
target pedestrian traffic.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, approximately 70% of the Company's outdoor
advertising net revenues were derived from bulletin sales and 30% from poster
sales. The Company regularly donates unoccupied display space for use by
charitable and civic organizations.
The physical structures are owned by the Company and are built on locations the
Company either owns or leases. In each local office one employee typically
performs site leasing activities for the markets served by that office. See Item
2. -- "Properties."
Bulletin space is generally sold as individually selected displays for the
duration of the advertising contract. Bulletins may also be sold as part of a
rotary plan where advertising copy is periodically rotated from one location to
another within a particular market. Poster space is generally sold in packages
called "showings," which comprise a given number of displays in a market area.
Posters provide advertisers with access either to a specified percentage of the
general population or to a specific targeted audience. Displays making up a
showing are placed in well-traveled areas and are distributed so as to reach a
wide audience in a particular market. Bulletin space is generally sold for 12
month periods. Poster space averages between 30 and 90 days.
-7-
8
PRODUCTION:
The Company's local production staffs in 137 of its markets perform the full
range of activities required to create and install outdoor advertising.
Production work includes creating the advertising copy design and layout,
painting the design or coordinating its printing and installing the designs on
displays. The Company provides its production services to local advertisers and
to advertisers that are not represented by advertising agencies, since national
advertisers represented by advertising agencies often use preprinted designs
that require only installation. The Company's creative and production personnel
typically develop new designs or adopt copy from other media for use on
billboards. The Company's artists also often assist in the development of
marketing presentations, demonstrations and strategies to attract new
advertisers.
With the increased use of vinyl and pre-printed advertising copy furnished to
the outdoor advertising company by the advertiser or its agency, outdoor
advertising companies require less labor-intensive production work. In addition,
increased use of vinyl and preprinted copy is also attracting more customers to
the outdoor advertising medium. The Company believes that this trend over time
will reduce operating expenses associated with production activities.
CATEGORIES OF BUSINESS:
The following table sets forth the top ten categories of business from which the
Company derived its outdoor advertising revenues for 2000 and the respective
percentages of such revenue. These business categories accounted for
approximately 74% of the Company's total outdoor advertising net revenues in the
year ended December 31, 2000. No one advertiser accounted for more than 3.0% of
the Company's total outdoor advertising net revenues in that period.

LOGO SIGNS
The Company is the largest provider of logo sign services in the United States
and operates over 3,700 logo sign structures containing over 90,500 logo
advertising displays. The Company has been awarded contracts to erect and
operate logo signs in the states of Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia, and the province of Ontario,
Canada, and through a 66.7% owned partnership in the state of Missouri. In
addition, the Company has acquired the logo sign contracts in Kansas, Kentucky,
and Nevada. The Company also operates the tourism signing contracts for the
states of Colorado, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey and Ohio as well as
for the province of Ontario, Canada.
State logo sign contracts represent the contract right to erect and operate logo
signs within a state. The term of the contracts vary, but generally range from
ten to twenty years, including renewal terms. The logo sign contracts generally
provide for
-8-
9
termination by the state prior to the end of the term of the contract, in most
cases with compensation to be paid to the Company. Typically, at the end of the
term of the contract, ownership of the structures is transferred to the state
without compensation to the Company. Of the Company's logo sign contracts, one
is due to terminate in September 2001 and one is subject to renewal over the
next year in January, 2002. The Company also designs and produces logo sign
plates for customers throughout the country, including for use in states which
have not yet privatized their logo sign programs.
EMPLOYEES
The Company employed approximately 2,700 persons at December 31, 2000. Of these,
approximately 100 were engaged in overall management and general administration
at the Company's management headquarters and the remainder were employed in the
Company's operating offices. Of these, approximately 700 were direct sales and
marketing personnel.
The Company has 13 local offices covered by collective bargaining agreements,
consisting of painters, billposters and construction personnel. The Company
believes that its relations with its employees, including its 139 unionized
employees, are good, and the Company has never experienced a strike or other
labor dispute.
COMPETITION
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
The Company competes in each of its markets with other outdoor advertisers as
well as other media, including broadcast and cable television, radio, print
media and direct mail marketers. In addition, the Company also competes with a
wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers,
malls, airports, stadiums, movie theaters and supermarkets, as well as on taxis,
trains and buses. Advertisers compare relative costs of available media and
cost-per-thousand impressions, particularly when delivering a message to
customers with distinct demographic characteristics. In competing with other
media, outdoor advertising relies on its relative cost efficiency and its
ability to reach a broad segment of the population in a specific market or to
target a particular geographic area or population with a particular set of
demographic characteristics within that market.
The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting 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
single or a few local markets. Although some consolidation has occurred over the
past few years, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America
("OAAA") as of December 31, 2000 there were approximately 1,082 companies in the
outdoor advertising industry operating approximately 600,000 outdoor displays.
In several of its markets, the Company encounters direct competition from other
major outdoor media companies, including Infinity Broadcasting Corp. (formerly
Outdoor Systems, Inc.) and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (formerly Eller
Media) both of which may have greater total resources than the Company. The
Company believes that its strong emphasis on sales and customer service and its
position as a major provider of advertising services in each of its primary
markets enables it to compete effectively with the other outdoor advertising
companies, as well as other media, within those markets.
LOGO SIGNS
The Company faces competition in obtaining new logo sign contracts and in
bidding for renewals of expiring contracts. The Company faces competition from
three other national providers of logo signs in seeking state-awarded logo
service contracts. In addition, local companies within each of the states that
solicit bids will compete against the Company in the open-bid process.
Competition from these sources is also encountered at the end of each contract
period.
In marketing logo signs to advertisers, the Company competes with the other
forms of out-of-home advertising described above.
-9-
10
REGULATION
Outdoor advertising is subject to governmental regulation at the federal, state
and local levels. Federal law, principally the Highway Beautification Act of
1965 (the "HBA") regulates outdoor advertising on federally aided primary and
interstate highways. The HBA requires, as a condition to federal highway
assistance, states to restrict billboards on such highways to commercial and
industrial areas, and requires certain additional size, spacing and other
limitations. All states have passed state billboard control statutes and
regulations at least as restrictive as the federal requirements, including
removal at the owner's expense and without compensation of any illegal signs on
such highways. The Company believes that the number of its billboards that may
be subject to removal as illegal is immaterial. No state in which the Company
operates has banned billboards, but some have adopted standards more restrictive
than the federal requirements. Municipal and county governments generally also
have sign controls as part of their zoning laws. Some local governments prohibit
construction of new billboards and some allow new construction only to replace
existing structures, although most allow construction of billboards subject to
restrictions on zones, size, spacing and height.
Federal law does not require removal of existing lawful billboards, but does
require payment of compensation if a state or political subdivision compels the
removal of a lawful billboard along a federally aided primary or interstate
highway. State governments have purchased and removed legal billboards for
beautification in the past, using federal funding for transportation enhancement
programs, and may do so in the future. Governmental authorities from time to
time use the power of eminent domain to remove billboards. Thus far, the Company
has been able to obtain satisfactory compensation for any of its billboards
purchased or removed as a result of governmental action, although there is no
assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future. Local
governments do not generally purchase billboards for beautification, but some
have attempted to force removal of legal but nonconforming billboards
(billboards which conformed with applicable zoning regulations when built but
which do not conform to current zoning regulations) after a period of years
under a concept called "amortization," by which the governmental body asserts
that just compensation is earned by continued operation over time. Although
there is some question as to the legality of amortization under federal and many
state laws, amortization has been upheld in some instances. The Company
generally has been successful in negotiating settlements with municipalities for
billboards required to be removed. Restrictive regulations also limit the
Company's ability to rebuild or replace nonconforming billboards. The outdoor
advertising industry is heavily regulated and at various times and in various
markets can be expected to be subject to varying degrees of regulatory pressure
affecting the operation of advertising displays. Accordingly, although the
Company's experience to date is that the regulatory environment can be managed,
no assurance can be given that existing or future laws or regulations will not
materially and adversely affect the Company.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's 53,500 square foot management headquarters is located in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. The Company occupies approximately 86% of the space in this
facility and leases the remaining space. The Company owns 84 local operating
facilities with front office administration and sales office space connected to
back-shop poster and bulletin production space. In addition, the Company leases
an additional 128 operating facilities at an aggregate lease expense for 2000 of
approximately $3.7 million.
The Company owns approximately 2,500 parcels of property beneath outdoor
structures. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 70,000 active
outdoor site leases accounting for a total annual lease expense of approximately
$101.9 million. This amount represented 15% of total outdoor advertising net
revenues for that period, which is consistent with the Company's historical
lease expense experience. The Company's leases are for varying terms ranging
from month-to-month to in some cases a term of over ten years, and many provide
the Company with renewal options. There is no significant concentration of
displays under any one lease or subject to negotiation with any one landlord.
The Company believes that an important part of its management activity is to

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
Since August 2, 1996, the Company's Class A common stock has traded on the
over-the-counter market and prices have been quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "LAMR." Prior to August 2, 1996, the day on which the
Class A common stock was first publicly traded, there was no public market for
the Class A common stock. On December 31, 1997, the Company declared a 3-for-2
stock split of shares of Class A common stock, which was paid in the form of a
50% stock dividend on February 27, 1998. All share and per share amounts
included herein have been restated to reflect this split. As of March 9, 2001,
the Class A common stock was held by 215 shareholders of record. The Company
believes, however, that the actual number of beneficial holders of the Class A
common stock may be substantially greater than the stated number of holders of
record because a substantial portion of the Class A common stock is held in
"street name."
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid
prices for the Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market.

The Company's Class B common stock is not publicly traded and is held of record
by one entity.
The Company does not anticipate paying dividends on either class of its common
stock in the foreseeable future. The Company's Series AA preferred stock is
entitled to preferential dividends, in an annual aggregate amount of $364,903,
before any dividends may be paid on the common stock. In addition, the Company's
bank credit facilities and other indebtedness have terms restricting the payment
of dividends. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will be
subject to such limitations, will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and will depend on the Company's results of operations, financial
condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board
of Directors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and the related notes.
OVERVIEW
The Company's net revenues, which represent gross revenues less commissions paid
to advertising agencies that contract for the use of advertising displays on
behalf of advertisers, are derived primarily from the sale of advertising on
outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. In recent years,
the Company's logo sign business has expanded rapidly and may in the future have
an increasing impact on the Company's revenues and operating income.
The Company has grown significantly during the last three years, primarily as
the result of (i) internal growth in its existing outdoor advertising business
resulting from construction of additional outdoor advertising displays,
operating efficiency and increases in advertising rates, (ii) acquisitions of
outdoor advertising businesses and structures, and (iii) the rapid expansion of
the Company's logo sign business. The Company's net advertising revenues
increased by $398.7 million from $288.6 million for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998 to $687.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000,
representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 54%. During the same
period, EBITDA increased $197.0 million from $134.8 million for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998 to $331.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 57%.
The Company plans to continue a strategy of expanding through both internal
growth and acquisitions. As a result of acquisitions, the operating performance
of individual markets and of the Company as a whole are not necessarily
comparable on a year-to-year basis. All recent acquisitions have been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting and, consequently, operating results
from acquired operations are included from the respective dates of those
acquisitions.
Since December 31, 1999, the Company has increased the number of outdoor
advertising displays it operates by approximately 12% by completing 103
strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising and transit assets for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $536 million which included the
issuance of 4,238,416 shares of Class A common stock valued at approximately
$186 million. The Company has financed its recent acquisitions and intends to
finance its acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its new
bank credit agreement and the issuance of Class A common stock. See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources" below.
The Company relies on sales of advertising space for its revenues, and its
operating results are therefore affected by general economic conditions, as well
as trends in the advertising industry.
Growth of the Company's business requires expenditures for maintenance and
capitalized costs associated with new billboard displays and new logo sign
contracts. Capitalized expenditures were $55.2 million in fiscal 1998, $77.2
million in fiscal 1999 and $78.3 million in fiscal 2000. Of these amounts,$10.6
million, $11.3 million and $10.6 million, respectively, were attributable to the
logo sign business. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
Total revenues increased $243.2 million or 54.8% to $687.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000 from $444.1 million for the same period in 1999. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $234.7 million or 56.9%, which was attributable to the Company's
acquisitions during 2000 and 1999 and internal growth within the Company's
previously existing markets, and (ii) a $4.6 million increase in logo sign
revenue, which represents a 16.5% increase over the prior year. The increase in
logo sign revenue was due to the completion of development of the new logo sign
contracts awarded in 2000 and 1999 and the continued expansion of the Company's
existing logo sign contracts.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $118.0
million or 49.7% to $355.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from
$237.5 million for the same period in 1999. This increase was the result of (i)
an increase in personnel costs, sign site rent and other costs related to the
increase in revenue and (ii) additional operating expenses related to the
Company's recent acquisitions and the continued development of the logo sign
business.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $141.0 million or 79.6% from
$177.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $318.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from the Company's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $15.8 million or 53.6% from
$29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $13.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000.
Interest expense increased $58.0 million from $89.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 to $147.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a
result of an entire year of interest expense related to the Company's 5 1/4%
Convertible Notes due 2006 issued in August 1999, greater amounts outstanding
under the bank credit agreement to finance recent acquisitions and an increase
in interest rates during the period.
The decrease in operating income and the increase in interest expense described
above resulted in a $78.0 million increase in loss before income taxes,
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The increase in loss before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the income
tax benefit of $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 over the same
period in 1999.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2000 of $94.1 million, as compared to a net loss of
$44.5 million for the same period in 1999.
-17-
18
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Total revenues increased $155.5 million or 53.9% to $444.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999 from $288.6 million for the same period in 1998. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $150.5 million or 57.5%, which was attributable to the Company's
acquisitions during 1999 and 1998 and internal growth within the Company's
previously existing markets, and (ii) a $4.0 million increase in logo sign
revenue, which represents a 16.6% increase over the prior year. The increase in
logo sign revenue was due to the completion of development of the new logo sign
contracts awarded in 1999 and 1998 and the continued expansion of the Company's
existing logo sign contracts.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $83.7
million or 54.4% to $237.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 from
$153.8 million for the same period in 1998. This increase was the result of (i)
an increase in personnel costs, sign site rent and other costs related to the
increase in revenue and (ii) additional operating expenses related to the
Company's recent acquisitions and the continued development of the logo sign
business.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $88.3 million or 99.4% from
$88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $177.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from the Company's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $16.5 million or 35.8% from
$46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $29.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999.
Interest income increased $.7 million as a result of an increase in excess cash
investments made during the period. Interest expense increased $29.6 million
from $60.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $89.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of interest expense on the Company's 5
1/4% Convertible Notes due 2006 and greater amounts outstanding under its new
bank credit agreement to finance recent acquisitions.
The decrease in operating income and the increase in interest expense described
above resulted in a $41.1 million decrease in earnings before income taxes,
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The decrease in earnings before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the
income tax benefit of $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 over the
same period in 1998.
An extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment of $.2 million net of income tax
benefit of $.1 million, was incurred during the year ended December 31, 1999, as
a result of the extinguishment of a portion of the Company's 9 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 in connection with a change of control tender offer
in July, 1999.
Due to the adoption of SOP 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities"
which requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be
expensed as incurred, the Company recognized an expense of $.8 million as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This expense is a one
time adjustment to recognize start-up activities and organization costs that
were capitalized in prior periods.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 1999 of $44.5 million, as compared to a net loss of
$11.9 million for the same period in 1998.

19
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with
cash from operations, offerings of its Class A common stock and debt securities
and borrowings under its bank credit facilities. The Company's acquisitions have
been financed primarily with funds borrowed under its bank credit facilities and
issuance of its Class A common stock.
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased to $177.6
million in fiscal 2000 due primarily to an increase in noncash items of $123.2
million, which includes an increase in depreciation and amortization of $141.0
million offset by a increase in deferred tax benefit of $23.4 million and an
decrease in gain on disposition of assets of $4.5 million. There was also a
decrease in net earnings of $49.6 million, a decrease in receivables of $5.9
million, an increase in prepaid expenses of $2.2 million, a decrease in other
assets of $4.7 million, a decrease in trade accounts payable of $5.0 million, a
decrease in accrued expenses of $16.4 million, and an increase in deferred
income of $6.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $515.1
million from $950.7 million in fiscal 1999 to $435.6 million in fiscal 2000.
This increase was due to a $521.0 million decrease in purchase of outdoor
advertising assets offset by a $1.1 million increase in capital expenditures and
a decrease in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $4.8 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $398.0 million in fiscal
2000 due to a $279.6 million decrease in proceeds from issuance of long-term
debt and a $402.0 million decrease in principal borrowings under credit
agreements, offset by a $197.7 million increase in proceeds from issuance of
common stock, a $74.3 million decrease in principal payments of long-term debt
and a $11.6 million decrease in debt issuance costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company financed its acquisition
activity of approximately $536.4 million with borrowings under the Company's
bank credit facility and the issuance of approximately 4.2 million shares of
common stock. At December 31, 2000, following these acquisitions, the Company
had $350 million available under the revolving bank credit facility.
In June 2000, Lamar Media Corp finalized an incremental loan agreement with its
lenders in which Media received commitments for $250 million of the previously
uncommitted $400 million incremental facility. The proceeds of this facility
were used to pay down the revolving bank credit facility.
In November 2000, the Company completed a public offering of 4.5 million shares
of Class A Common Stock at $45.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company after
underwriting discounts from the equity offering were $198.6 million. These
proceeds were used to pay down the revolving bank credit facility and finance
acquisitions in early 2001.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB No. 133", which
established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those
instruments at fair value. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133.
The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have any affect on the financial
position or results of operation in 2001.

LAMAR MEDIA CORP.
On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company completed a corporate reorganization
to create a new holding company structure. The reorganization was accomplished
through a merger under section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
At the effective time of the merger, all stockholders of Lamar Advertising
Company became stockholders in a new holding company and Lamar Advertising
Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company. The new
holding company took the Lamar Advertising Company name and the old Lamar
Advertising Company was renamed Lamar Media Corp. In the merger, all outstanding
shares of old Lamar Advertising Company's capital stock were converted into
shares of the new holding company with the same voting powers, designations,
preferences and rights, and the same qualifications, restrictions and
limitations, as the shares of old Lamar Advertising Company.
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of Lamar Media for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
Total revenues increased $243.2 million or 54.8% to $687.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000 from $444.1 million for the same period in 1999. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $234.7 million or 56.9%, which was attributable to Lamar Media's
acquisitions during 2000 and 1999 and internal growth within Lamar Media's
previously existing markets, and (ii) a $4.6 million increase in logo sign
revenue, which represents a 16.5% increase over the prior year. The increase in
logo sign revenue was due to the completion of development of the new logo sign
contracts awarded in 2000 and 1999 and the continued expansion of Lamar Media's
existing logo sign contracts.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $117.4
million or 49.5% to $354.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from
$237.4 million for the same period in 1999. This increase was the result of (i)
an increase in personnel costs, sign site rent and other costs related to the
increase in revenue and (ii) additional operating expenses related to Lamar
Media's recent acquisitions and the continued development of the logo sign
business.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $139.3 million or 79.0% from
$176.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $315.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from Lamar Media's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $13.4 million or 44.0% from
$30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $17.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000.
Interest expense increased $58.0 million from $89.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 to $147.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a
result of interest expense on Lamar Media's obligation to Lamar Advertising
Company and greater amounts outstanding under the new bank credit agreement to
finance recent acquisitions.
The decrease in operating income and the increase in interest expense described
above resulted in a $75.6 million increase in loss before income taxes,
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The increase in loss before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the income
tax benefit of $26.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 over the same
period in 1999.
-20-
21
As a result of the foregoing factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2000 of $91.9 million, as compared to a net loss of
$43.9 million for the same period in 1999.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Total revenues increased $155.5 million or 53.9% to $444.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999 from $288.6 million for the same period in 1998. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $150.5 million or 57.5%, which was attributable to Lamar Media's
acquisitions during 1999 and 1998 and internal growth within Lamar Media's
previously existing markets, and (ii) a $4.0 million increase in logo sign
revenue, which represents a 16.6% increase over the prior year. The increase in
logo sign revenue was due to the completion of development of the new logo sign
contracts awarded in 1999 and 1998 and the continued expansion of Lamar Media's
existing logo sign contracts.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $83.6
million or 54.3% to $237.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 from
$153.8 million for the same period in 1998. This increase was the result of (i)
an increase in personnel costs, sign site rent and other costs related to the
increase in revenue and (ii) additional operating expenses related to Lamar
Media's recent acquisitions and the continued development of the logo sign
business.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $87.4 million or 98.5% from
$88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $176.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from Lamar Media's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $15.5 million or 33.6% from
$46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $30.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999.
Interest income increased $.7 million as a result of an increase in excess cash
investments made during the period. Interest expense increased $29.6 million
from $60.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $89.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of interest expense on Lamar Media's
obligation to Lamar Advertising Company and greater amounts outstanding under
its new bank credit agreement to finance recent acquisitions.
The decrease in operating income and the increase in interest expense described
above resulted in a $40.1 million decrease in earnings before income taxes,
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The decrease in earnings before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the
income tax benefit of $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 over the
same period in 1998.
An extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment of $.2 million net of income tax
benefit of $.1 million, was incurred during the year ended December 31, 1999, as
a result of the extinguishment of a portion of Lamar Media's 9 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 in connection with a change of control tender offer
in July, 1999.
Due to the adoption of SOP 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities"
which requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be
expensed as incurred, Lamar Media recognized an expense of $.8 million as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This expense is a one
time adjustment to recognize start-up activities and organization costs that
were capitalized in prior periods.
As a result of the foregoing factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 1999 of $43.9 million, as compared to a net loss of
$11.9 million for the same period in 1998.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS SIGNIFICANT FIXED PAYMENTS ON IT'S DEBT, IT MAY LACK
SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW TO OPERATE ITS BUSINESS AS IT HAS IN THE PAST AND MAY NEED
TO BORROW MONEY IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE THESE PAYMENTS AND OPERATE ITS BUSINESS.
The Company has borrowed substantial amounts of money in the past and may borrow
more money in the future. At December 31, 2000, Lamar Advertising Company had
approximately $287.5 million of convertible notes outstanding. At December 31,
2000, Lamar Media had approximately $1.5 billion of debt outstanding consisting
of approximately $900 million in bank debt, $528 million in various series of
senior subordinated notes and $30 million in various other short-term and
long-term debt.
A large part of the Company's cash flow from operations must be used to make
principal and interest payments on its debt. If the Company's operations make
less money in the future, it may need to borrow to make these payments. In
addition, the Company finances most of its acquisitions through borrowings under
Lamar Media's bank credit facility which has a total committed amount of $1.25
billion in term, incremental and revolving credit loans. As of December 31,
2000, the Company had approximately $350 million available to borrow under this
credit facility. Since its borrowing capacity under its credit facility is
limited, the Company may not be able to continue to finance future acquisitions
at its historical rate with borrowings under its credit facility. The Company
may need to borrow additional amounts or seek other sources of financing to fund
future acquisitions. The Company cannot guarantee that such additional financing
will be available on favorable terms. The Company may need the consent of the
banks under its credit facility, or the holders of other indebtedness, to borrow
additional money.
RESTRICTIONS IN THE COMPANY'S, AND ITS WHOLLY-OWNED, DIRECT SUBSIDIARY, LAMAR
MEDIA'S DEBT AGREEMENTS REDUCE OPERATING FLEXIBILITY AND CONTAIN COVENANTS AND
RESTRICTIONS THAT CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR DEFAULTS.
The terms of the indenture relating to Lamar Advertising's outstanding notes,
Lamar Media's bank credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media's
outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising
and Lamar Media to:
o dispose of assets;
o incur or repay debt;
o create liens;
o make investments; and
o 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:
o interest coverage;
o fixed charges ratios;
o senior debt ratios; and
o total debt ratios.
If Lamar Advertising fails to comply with these tests, the lenders have the
right to cause all amounts outstanding under the credit facility to become
immediately due. If this were to occur, and the lenders decide to exercise their
right to accelerate the indebtedness, it would create serious financial problems
for the Company. The Company's ability to comply with these restrictions, and
any similar restrictions in future agreements, depends on its operating
performance. Because its performance is subject to prevailing economic,
financial and business conditions and other factors that are beyond the
Company's control, it may be unable to comply with these restrictions in the
future.
-22-
23
THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS COULD BE HURT BY CHANGES IN ECONOMIC AND
ADVERTISING TRENDS.
The Company sells advertising space to generate revenues. A decrease in demand
for advertising space could adversely affect the Company's business. General
economic conditions and trends in the advertising industry affect the amount of
advertising space purchased. A reduction in money spent on its displays could
result from:
o a general decline in economic conditions;
o a decline in economic conditions in particular markets where
the Company conducts business;
o a reallocation of advertising expenditures to other available
media by significant users of the Company's displays; or
o a decline in the amount spent on advertising in general.
THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS ARE IMPACTED BY THE REGULATION OF OUTDOOR ADVERTISING.
The Company's operations are significantly impacted by federal, state and local
government regulation of the outdoor advertising business.
The federal government conditions federal highway assistance on states imposing
location restrictions on the placement of billboards on primary and interstate
highways. Federal laws also impose size, spacing and other limitations on
billboards. Some states have adopted standards more restrictive than the federal
requirements. Local governments generally control billboards as part of their
zoning regulations. Some local governments have enacted ordinances which require
removal of billboards by a future date. Others prohibit the construction of new
billboards and the reconstruction of significantly damaged billboards, or allow
new construction only to replace existing structures.
Local laws which mandate removal of billboards at a future date often do not
provide for payment to the owner for the loss of structures that are required to
be removed. Some federal and state laws require payment of compensation in such
circumstances. Local laws that require the removal of a billboard without
compensation have been challenged in state and federal courts with conflicting
results. Accordingly, the Company may not be successful in negotiating
acceptable arrangements when the Company's displays have been subject to removal
under these types of local laws.
Additional regulations may be imposed on outdoor advertising in the future.
Legislation regulating the content of billboard advertisements has been
introduced in Congress from time to time in the past. Additional regulations or
changes in the current laws regulating and affecting outdoor advertising at the
federal, state or local level may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.
-23-
24
THE COMPANY'S CONTINUED GROWTH BY ACQUISITIONS MAY BECOME MORE DIFFICULT AND
INVOLVES COSTS AND UNCERTAINTIES.
The Company has substantially increased its inventory of advertising displays
through acquisitions. The Company's operating strategy involves making purchases
in markets where it currently competes as well as in new markets. However, the
following factors may affect the Company's ability to continue to pursue this
strategy effectively.
o The outdoor advertising market has been consolidating, and
this may adversely affect the Company's ability to find
suitable candidates for purchase.
o The Company is also likely to face increased competition from
other outdoor advertising companies for the companies or
assets it wishes to purchase. Increased competition may lead
to higher prices for outdoor advertising companies and assets
and decrease those it is able to purchase.
o The Company does not know if it will have sufficient capital
resources to make purchases, obtain any required consents from
the Company's lenders, or find acquisition opportunities with
acceptable terms.
o The Company must integrate newly acquired assets into its
existing operations. From January 1, 2000 to December 31,
2000, the Company completed approximately 100 transactions
involving the purchase of complementary outdoor advertising
assets. The process of integrating these acquisitions may
result in unforeseen difficulties and could require
significant time and attention from Lamar's management that
would otherwise be directed at developing its existing
business. Further, Lamar cannot be certain that the benefits
and cost savings that it anticipates from these purchases will
develop.
THE COMPANY FACES COMPETITION FROM LARGER AND MORE DIVERSIFIED OUTDOOR
ADVERTISERS AND OTHER FORMS OF ADVERTISING THAT COULD HURT ITS PERFORMANCE.
The Company cannot be sure that in the future it will compete successfully
against the current and future forms of outdoor advertising and other media. The
competitive pressure that it faces could adversely affect its profitability or
financial performance. Although Lamar Advertising is the largest company
focusing exclusively on outdoor advertising, it faces competition from larger
companies with more diversified operations that also include radio and other
broadcast media. The Company also faces competition from other forms of media,
including television, radio, newspapers and direct mail advertising. It must
also compete with an increasing variety of other out-of-home advertising media
that include advertising displays in shopping centers, malls, airports,
stadiums, movie theaters and supermarkets, and on taxis, trains and buses.
In the Company's logo sign business, it currently faces competition for
state-awarded service contracts from two other logo sign providers as well as
local companies. Initially, the Company competed for state-awarded service
contracts as they are privatized. Because these contracts expire after a limited
time, the Company must compete to keep its existing contracts each time they are
up for renewal.
IF THE COMPANY'S CONTINGENCY PLANS RELATING TO HURRICANES FAIL, THE RESULTING
LOSSES COULD HURT THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.
Although the Company has developed contingency plans designed to deal with the
threat posed to advertising structures by hurricanes, it cannot guarantee that
these plans will work. If these plans fail, significant losses could result.
A significant portion of its structures is located in the Mid-Atlantic and Gulf
Coast regions of the United States. These areas are highly susceptible to
hurricanes during the late summer and early fall. In the past, the Company has
incurred significant
-24-
25
losses due to severe storms. These losses resulted from structural damage,
overtime compensation, loss of billboards that could not be replaced under
applicable laws and reduced occupancy because billboards were out of service.
The Company has determined that it is not economical to obtain insurance against
losses from hurricanes and other storms. Instead, the Company has developed
contingency plans to deal with the threat of hurricanes. For example, the
Company attempts to remove the advertising faces on billboards at the onset of a
storm, when possible, which permits the structures to better withstand high
winds during a storm. The Company then replaces these advertising faces after
the storm has passed. However, these plans may not be effective in the future
and, if they are not, significant losses may result.
THE COMPANY'S LOGO SIGN CONTRACTS ARE SUBJECT TO STATE AWARD AND RENEWAL.
A portion of the Company's revenues and operating income come from its
state-awarded service contracts for logo signs. The Company cannot predict what
remaining states, if any, will start logo sign programs or convert state-run
logo sign programs to privately operated programs. The Company competes with
many other parties for new state-awarded service contracts for logo signs. Even
when it is awarded such a contract, the award may be challenged under state
contract bidding requirements. If an award is challenged, the Company may incur
delays and litigation costs.
Generally, state-awarded logo sign contracts have a term, including renewal
options, of ten to twenty years. States may terminate a contract early, but in
most cases must pay compensation to the logo sign provider for early
termination. Typically, at the end of the term of the contract, ownership of the
structures is transferred to the state without compensation to the logo sign
provider. Of the Company's 20 logo sign contracts in place at December 31, 2000,
one remains subject to renewal in September 2001, all other 2001 renewals have
currently been secured. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to
obtain new logo sign contracts or renew its existing contracts. In addition,
after a new state-awarded logo contract is received, the Company generally
incurs significant start-up costs. The Company cannot guarantee that it will
continue to have access to the capital necessary to finance those costs.
THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS COULD BE AFFECTED BY THE LOSS OF KEY EXECUTIVES.
The Company's success depends to a significant extent upon the continued
services of its executive officers and other key management and sales personnel.
Kevin P. Reilly, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer, the nine regional managers
and the manager of the logo sign business, in particular, are essential to the
Company's continued success. Although the Company has designed it's incentive
and compensation programs to retain key employees, the Company has no employment
contracts with any employees and none of the executive officers have signed
non-compete agreements. The Company does not maintain key man insurance on its
executives. If any of the Company's executive officers or other key management
and sales personnel stopped working with the Company in the future, it could
have an adverse effect on its business.
INFLATION
In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company.
SEASONALITY
The Company's revenues and operating results have exhibited some degree of
seasonality in past periods. Typically, the Company experiences its strongest
financial performance in the summer and its lowest in the winter. The Company
expects this trend to continue in the future. Because a significant portion of
the Company's expenses is fixed, a reduction in revenues in any quarter is
likely to result in a period to period decline in operating performance and net
earnings.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY AND LAMAR MEDIA CORP.
Lamar Advertising Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with
variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary Lamar Media
Corp. The Company does not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for
trading purposes. The information below summarizes the Company's interest rate
risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at
December 31, 2000, and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loans under Lamar Media Corp.'s new bank credit agreement bear interest at
variable rates equal to the Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable
margin. Because the Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR may increase or decrease at any
time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that
changes in these base rates may have on the interest rate applicable to
borrowings under the new bank credit agreement. Increases in the interest rates
applicable to borrowings under the new bank credit agreement would result in
increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company's net income and after
tax cash flow.
At December 31, 2000, there was approximately $900 million of aggregate
indebtedness outstanding under the new bank credit agreement, or approximately
53.8% of the Company's outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest
at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for 2000 with respect to
borrowings under the new bank credit agreement was $81.8 million, and the
weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under these credit
facilities during 2000 was 8.6%. Assuming that the weighted average interest
rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 10.6% rather than 8.6%), then the
Company's 2000 interest expense would have been approximately $19.0 million
higher resulting in a $7.4 million decrease in the Company's 2000 net income and
after tax cash flow.
The Company attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its
variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by also issuing fixed rate
long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the
amount of the Company's variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition,
the Company has the capability under the new bank credit agreement to fix the
interest rates applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to LIBOR plus the
applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months, which would allow the
Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest
rates. In the event of an increase in interest rates, the Company may take
further actions to mitigate its exposure. The Company cannot guarantee, however,
that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or
that, if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.

Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors
Lamar Advertising Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lamar
Advertising Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lamar Advertising
Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for the costs of start-up activities in 1999.

LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Nature of Business
Lamar Advertising Company (the "Company") is engaged in the
outdoor advertising business operating approximately 131,300
outdoor advertising displays in 43 states. The Company's
operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor
advertising services the markets it serves.
In addition, the Company operates a logo sign business in 20
states throughout the United States and in 1 province of
Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded
service contracts on public rights-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.
(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.
(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) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting primarily of goodwill, 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 5 to 15
years.
Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the terms
of the related credit facilities using the interest method.
(e) Investment Securities
Investment securities at December 31, 1997 consisted of the
Company's investment in approximately 340,000 shares of common
stock of Wireless One, Inc., a publicly-held company in the
wireless cable business.
The Wireless One, Inc. shares were classified as
available-for-sale at December 31, 1997 and were carried at
fair value with the unrealized gain or loss, net of the
related tax effect, reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. These shares were sold in May, 1998,
resulting in a realized loss of $875.

LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 121
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be 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 future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value
less costs to sell.
The Company assesses the recoverability of enterprise level
goodwill by determining whether the unamortized goodwill
balance can be recovered through undiscounted future results
of the Company's operations. The amount of enterprise-level
goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected
discounted future results using a discount rate reflecting the
Company's average cost of funds.
(g) Deferred Income
Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue
received in advance and gains resulting from the sale of
certain assets to related parties. Deferred advertising
revenue is recognized in income as services are provided over
the term of the contract. Deferred gains are recognized in
income in the consolidated financial statements at the time
the assets are sold to an unrelated party or otherwise
disposed of.
(h) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from outdoor and logo sign
advertising contracts, net of agency commissions, on an
accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as
advertising services are provided.
(i) Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting
for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets
(Continued)
-35-
36
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
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.
(j) Earnings Per Share
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
6,807,708, 3,017,724 and 505,558 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(k) Stock Option Plan
The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance
with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees",
and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense is
recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price
of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", permits
entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the
fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant.
Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue
to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro
forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures
for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years
as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has
been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.
(l) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
(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 earnings.
(n) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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.

In November 1996, the Company issued $255,000 in principal amount of 9 5/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "1996 Notes"), with interest payable
semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 1996 Notes are senior
subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right
of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Company, pari passu with the 1997
Notes (as defined below), and are senior to all existing and future subordinated
indebtedness of the Company.
In September 1997, the Company issued $200,000 in principal amount of 8 5/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "1997 Notes") with interest payable
semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing March 15,
1998. The 1997 Notes were issued at a discount for $198,676. The Company is
using the effective interest method to recognize the discount over the life of
the 1997 Notes. The 1997 Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of
the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the
Company, pari passu with the 1996 Notes and are senior to all existing and
future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
The 1996 and 1997 Notes are redeemable at the Company's option at any time on or
after December 31, 2001 and September 15, 2002, respectively, at redemption
prices specified by the indentures, and are required to be repurchased earlier
in the event of a change of control of the Company. The indentures covering the
1996 and 1997 Notes include certain restrictive covenants which limit the
Company's ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make other
restricted payments, consummate certain transactions and other matters.
In August 1999, the Company replaced its previous credit agreement with a new
bank credit agreement under which The Chase Manhattan Bank serves as
administrative agent. The new $1,000,000 bank credit agreement consists of (1) a
$350,000 revolving bank credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility")
and (2) a $650,000 term facility with two tranches, a $450,000 Term A facility
and a $200,000 Term B facility. In addition, the new bank credit agreement
provided for an uncommitted $400,000 incremental facility available at the
discretion of the lenders. In June 2000, the incremental loan agreement was
finalized with its lenders and commitments for $250,000 of the previously
uncommitted $400,000 were obtained. The incremental facility consists of (1)
$20,000 Series A-1 facility, (2) $130,000 Series A-2 facility and (3) a $100,000
Series B-1 facility. Proceeds of this facility were used to pay down the
revolving bank credit facility. As a result of the holding company
reorganization completed on July 20, 1999 and explained in footnote 12, the
existing bank credit agreement and the new bank credit agreement are obligations
of Lamar Media Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company. As
of December 31, 2000, the Company had borrowings under this agreement of
$900,000.

Revolving credit loans may be requested under the New Revolving Credit Facility
at any time prior to maturity. The loans bear interest, at the Company's option,
at the LIBOR Rate or Chase Prime Rate plus applicable margins, such margins
being set from time to time based on the Company's ratio of debt to trailing
twelve month EBITDA, 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 indentures relating to Lamar Media's outstanding notes
restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media
to:
o dispose of assets;
o incur or repay debt;
o create liens;
o make investments; and
o 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:
o interest coverage;
o fixed charges ratios;
o senior debt ratios; and
o total debt ratios.
On August 10, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company, the new holding company,
completed an offering of $287,500 5 1/4% Convertible Notes due 2006. The net
proceeds of approximately $279,594 of the convertible notes were used to pay
down existing bank debt.
In connection with the reorganization of Lamar Advertising Company into a new
holding company structure, Lamar Media Corp. (formerly known as Lamar
Advertising Company) made a change of control tender offer to the holders of its
9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 in aggregate principal amount of
approximately $103,900. Pursuant to the change of control tender offer and in
accordance with the Indenture, Lamar Media Corp. offered to repurchase the Notes
for 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. A total of $29,876
aggregate principal amount of Notes were tendered for payment on August 19,
1999, and the related 1% prepayment penalty is reflected as an extraordinary
item in the Company's statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999.
The Company's obligations with respect to its publicly issued 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 subsidiaries.

Net deferred tax liability $ (140,452) $ (112,412)
========== ==========
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 during the periods 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 the Company 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.

In June, 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 6,375,000
shares of Class A common stock at $29.00 per share. Net proceeds to the
Company after underwriting discounts from the equity offering were
$177.5 million. These proceeds were used to pay down outstanding bank
debt of approximately $173.0 million with the remainder used for
operations.
In December, 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 6,900,000
shares of Class A common stock at $35 per share. Net proceeds to the
Company after underwriting discounts from the equity offering were
$219.8 million. These proceeds were used to pay down outstanding bank

On July 16, 1999, the Board of Directors amended the preferred stock of
the Company by designating 5,720 shares of the 1,000,000 shares of
previously undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001 as "Series AA

such matters. The Class B common stock will convert automatically into

permitted transferees (as defined in the Company's certificate of
incorporation, as amended).
On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company completed a corporate
reorganization to create a new holding company structure. The
reorganization was accomplished through a merger under section 251(g)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law. At the effective time of the
merger, all stockholders of Lamar Advertising Company became
stockholders in a new holding company and Lamar Advertising Company
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company. The new
holding company took the Lamar Advertising Company name and the old
Lamar Advertising Company was renamed Lamar Media Corp. In the merger,
all outstanding shares of old Lamar Advertising Company's capital stock
were converted into shares of the new holding company with the same
voting powers, designations, preferences and rights, and the same
qualifications, restrictions and limitations, as the shares of old
Lamar Advertising Company. Following the restructuring, the Class A
common stock of the new holding company trades under the symbol "LAMR"
on the Nasdaq National Market with the same CUSIP number as the old
Lamar Advertising Company's Class A common stock.
On May 25, 2000, the stockholders approved a resolution to amend the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number
of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 125,000,000 shares to
175,000,000 shares which increased the total authorized capital stock
from 163,510,000 shares to 213,510,000 shares.

On May 25, 2000, the stockholders approved the 2000 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan whereby 500,000 shares of the Company's Class A common
stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. Under this plan,
eligible employees may purchase stock at 85% of the fair market value
of a share on the offering commencement date or the respective purchase
date whichever is lower. Purchases are limited to ten percent of an
employee's total compensation. The initial offering under the Plan
commenced on April 1, 2000 with a single purchase date on June 30,
2000. Subsequent offerings shall commence each year on July 1 with a
termination date of December 31 and purchase dates on September 30 and
December 31; and on January 1 with a termination date on June 30 and
purchase dates on March 31 and June 30.
(12) Stock Option Plan
In 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1996
Plan"). The purpose of the 1996 Plan is to attract and retain key
employees and consultants of the Company. The 1996 Plan authorizes the
grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock
to employees and consultants of the Company capable of contributing to
the Company's performance. Options granted under the 1996 Plan
generally become exercisable over a five-year period and expire 10
years from the date of grant. The Company initially reserved an
aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (as adjusted for
the Company's February 1998 three-for-two stock split) for awards under
the 1996 Plan. In September, 1998, the Board of Directors of the
Company voted to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance
under the 1996 Plan by 1,000,000 shares to 4,000,000 shares.
In August, 1999, the Board of Directors voted subject to stockholder
approval, to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock
reserved for issuance under the 1996 plan by 1,000,000 shares to
5,000,000 shares. This increase was approved by the shareholders on May
25, 2000.
In August 2000, the Board of Directors voted, subject to stockholder
approval, to amend the 1996 Plan to (i) authorize grants to members of
the Company's board of directors (ii) provide the Committee with more
flexibility in determining the exercise price of awards made under the
1996 Plan (iii) allow for grants of unrestricted stock and (iv) set
forth performance criteria that the Committee may establish for the
granting of stock awards.
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized
for the stock option grants. Had compensation cost for the Company's
stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant
date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been reduced
to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The
Company maintains a $385 letter of credit with a bank to meet
requirements of the Company's worker's compensation insurance carrier.
The Company sponsors The Lamar Corporation Savings and Profit Sharing
Plan covering employees who have completed one year of service and are
at least 21 years of age. The Company matches 50% of employees'
contributions up to 5% of related compensation. Employees can
contribute up to 15% of compensation. Full vesting on the Company's
matched contributions occurs after five years. Annually, at the
Company's discretion, an additional profit sharing contribution may be
made on behalf of each eligible employee. In total, for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 the Company contributed $2,403 and $1,608,
respectively. The Company did not make a profit sharing contribution
for the year ended December 31, 2000.
The Company sponsors a Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of
certain of its senior management who meet specific age and years of
service criteria. Employees who have attained the age of 30 and have a
minimum of 10 years of service are eligible for annual contributions to
the Plan generally ranging from $3 to $8, depending on the employee's
length of service. The Company's contributions to the Plan are
maintained in a "rabbi" trust and, accordingly, the assets and
liabilities of the Plan are reflected in the balance sheet of the
Company. Upon termination, death or disability, participating employees
are eligible to receive an amount equal to the fair market value of the
assets in the employee's deferred compensation account. The Company has
contributed $456, $448 and $406 to the Plan during the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Contributions to the
Deferred Compensation Plan are discretionary and are determined by the
Board of Directors.
The Company is the subject of litigation arising during the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management and the general
counsel of the Company, those claims will not have a material impact on
the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the
Company.
(14) Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries
Separate financial statements of each of the Company's direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries that have guaranteed the Company's
obligations with respect to its publicly issued notes (collectively,
the "Guarantors") are not included herein because the Company has no
independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and
unconditional and joint and several and the only subsidiary that is not
a guarantor is considered minor. Lamar Media's ability to make
distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under the terms of its
bank credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media's
outstanding notes.

(15) 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, 2000 and
1999. 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.
2000 1999
------------------------ -----------------------
Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated
Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Long-term debt $1,671,466 $1,677,434 $1,611,463 $1,613,209
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company
using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies as follows:
o The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables,
trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and deferred income
approximate fair value because of the short term nature of these
items.
o The fair value of long-term debt is based upon market quotes
obtained from dealers where available and by discounting future
cash flows at rates currently available to the Company for similar
instruments when quoted market rates are not available.
Fair value estimates are subject to inherent limitations. Estimates 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 of fair value are subjective in nature
and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions
could significantly affect the estimates.

(17) New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities. SOP 98-5 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, and requires that the
costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, be
expensed as incurred.
The effect of SOP 98-5 was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
amount of $(767), net of tax, as described in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 20 "Accounting Changes".
(18) Subsequent Events
Effective January 30, 2001, Lamar Media Corp. and its subsidiaries
entered into an amendment to its bank credit agreement for the purposes
of increasing "Incremental Loan Commitments" from $400,000 to
$1,000,000, and affording Lamar Media Corp. and Lamar Advertising
Company more flexibility in incurring debt. The "Total Debt Ratio",
previously measured at the Lamar Advertising Company level, is now
measured at the Lamar Media Corp. level with the result that the 5-1/4%
Convertible Notes will be excluded from this ratio. The loan documents
were amended further to permit Lamar Advertising Company to incur
additional debt which is no more restrictive than the high-yield debt
currently outstanding. In connection with these changes, the note
receivable and note payable of equal amounts between Lamar Advertising
and Lamar Media, its wholly-owned subsidiary, were cancelled. The
cancellation of the note of $287,500 will be treated as capital
contributed by parent on Lamar Media's balance sheet effective January
30, 2001.
Effective February 1, 2001, the Company purchased all of the
outstanding common stock of Bowlin Outdoor Advertising and Travel
Centers Incorporated by issuing 725,000 shares of the Company's Class A
common stock valued at approximately $29,000.

Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors
Lamar Media Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lamar Media
Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder's
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. 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, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements of Lamar
Advertising Company, the Company changed its method of accounting for the costs
of start-up activities in 1999.

(1) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Nature of Business
On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company reorganized into a
new holding company structure. As a result of this
reorganization (1) the former Lamar Advertising Company became
a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company,
(2) the name of the former Lamar Advertising Company was
changed to Lamar Media Corp., (3) the name of the new holding
company became Lamar Advertising Company, (4) the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the former Lamar Advertising
Company, including the Class A common stock, were
automatically converted, on a share for share basis, into
identical shares of capital stock of the new holding company
and (5) the Class A common stock of the new holding company
commenced trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "LAMR" instead of the Class A common stock of the
former Lamar Advertising Company. In addition, following the
holding company reorganization, substantially all of the
former Lamar Advertising Company's debt obligations, including
the bank credit facility and other long-term debt remained the
obligations of Lamar Media. Under Delaware law, the
reorganization did not require the approval of the
stockholders of the former Lamar Advertising Company. The
purpose of the reorganization was to provide Lamar Advertising
Company with a more flexible capital structure and to enhance
its financing options. The business operations of the former
Lamar Advertising Company and its subsidiaries, including the
Company, has not changed as a result of the reorganization.
Lamar Media Corp. is engaged in the outdoor advertising
business operating approximately 116,800 outdoor advertising
displays in 42 states. Lamar Media's operating strategy is to
be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the
markets it serves.
In addition, Lamar Media operates a logo sign business in 20
states throughout the United States and in 1 province of
Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded
service contracts on public rights-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.
Certain footnotes are not provided for the accompanying
financial statements as the information in notes 2, 4, 6, 11
through 13, 15, 17, 18 and portions of notes 1, 8 and 10 to
the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Advertising
Company included elsewhere in this Report is substantially
equivalent to that required for the consolidated financial
statements of Lamar Media Corp. Earnings per share data is not
provided for the operating results of Lamar Media Corp. as it
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 are presented below:
2000 1999
--------- ---------
Deferred tax liabilities:
Plant and equipment, principally
due to differences in depreciation $ (3,513) $ (3,942)
Plant and equipment, due to basis
differences on acquisitions (161,065) (134,323)
Employee benefit plans -- (1,058)

Deferred tax liabilities (184,469) (139,323)
Deferred tax assets:
Intangibles, due to differences
in amortizable lives -- 3,935
Receivables, principally due to
allowance for doubtful accounts 1,916 1,514
Plant and equipment, due to basis
differences on acquisitions and costs
capitalized for tax purposes 4,246 4,614
Investment in affiliates and plant and
equipment, due to gains recognized for
tax purposes and deferred for financial

--------- ---------
Deferred tax assets 42,417 26,547
--------- ---------
Net deferred tax liability $(142,052) $(112,776)
========= =========
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 during the periods 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.
