         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



         The following sets forth unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial information for Lamar Advertising Company ("Lamar"). The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1998 gives effect to the acquisition of Outdoor Communications, Inc. (as
filed in Lamar's 8K/A filed June 8, 1999) and the acquisition by Lamar (the
"Stock Purchase") of Chancellor Outdoor as if the transactions had occurred on
January 1, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 gives effect to the

beginning of the period. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1999 gives effect to the acquisition of Chancellor Outdoor
as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 1999.

         For purposes of the pro forma financial information (i) the pro forma
statement of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1998 (as
adjusted for the OCI acquisition) has been combined with the statement of
operations of Chancellor Outdoor for the period July 22, 1998 (inception) to
December 31, 1998, the statement of operations of Martin Media L.P. ("Martin
Media") for the seven months ended July 31, 1998, the statement of operations of
Martin & Macfarlane, Inc. for the seven months ended July 31, 1998 and the
statement of income of the Outdoor Division of Whiteco Industries ("Whiteco")
the eleven months ended November 30, 1998 (ii) the statement of operations of
the Company for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 has been combined with
the statement of operations of Chancellor Outdoor for the same period and (iii)
the balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 1999 has been combined with the
balance sheet of Chancellor Outdoor as of June 30, 1999.

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

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company's management. The unaudited pro forma data are
not designed to represent and do not represent what the Company's results of
operations or financial position would have been had the aforementioned
acquisition been completed on or as of the dates assumed, and are not intended
to project the Company's results of operations for any future period or as of
any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited
consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company, Chancellor Outdoor,
Martin Media, Martin & Macfarlane, Inc., Whiteco and Outdoor Communications,
Inc., included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Lamar Advertising

       For purposes of determining the pro forma effect of the Chancellor
       Outdoor acquisition on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of
       Operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six months ended
       June 30, 1999, the following adjustments have been made:




                                                                                       12/31/98                     06/30/99

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

              General and administrative expenses                                        (2,734)                          --

        (2)   To record incremental amortization and depreciation due to the
              application of purchase accounting. Depreciation and amortization
              are calculated using accelerated and straight line methods over
              the estimated useful lives of the assets generally from 5-15 years.        97,179                       10,575
                                                                                      =========                    =========


        (3)   To eliminate historical interest income that would not have
              existed had the Stock Purchase taken place on January 1, 1998                 154                           --
                                                                                      =========                    =========


        (4)   To eliminate historical interest expense in Chancellor Outdoor's
              combined financial statements and record interest expense related
              to the debt acquired and incurred in the acquisition. (A difference
              of .125% in the rate of interest would have changed income by $875
              and $434 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and six months ended
              June 30, 1999, respectively.)

              Historical interest expense                                               (10,911)                        (126)
              Interest expense on debt acquired and incurred in the Stock Purchase       50,943                       25,262
                                                                                      ---------                    ---------
                                                                                         40,032                       25,136
                                                                                      =========                    =========


        (5)   To record the tax effect on pro forma statements for the
              Stock Purchase                                                            (42,698)                     (15,297)
                                                                                      =========                    =========

        (6)   To record the effect on net revenues and direct expenses of the
              Chancellor Outdoor divestiture required by the Department of
              Justice in May 1999 and the divestiture required by the Department
              of Justice as a condition of this Stock Purchase

              Net revenues                                                               (9,656)                      (4,052)
