NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. The enclosed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 1998. NOTE 2 - INCOME PER SHARE Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period and includes shares issuable upon exercise of stock options except in those circumstances where such options would be anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average shares.

SFAS No. 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 changes the reporting of certain items currently reported in the equity section of the balance sheet. The unrealized foreign currency adjustment is the only addition to net income in arriving at comprehensive income for the Company. Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, was $10.6 and $13.7 million, and $(0.3) and $(0.1) million, respectively. SFAS No. 131 requires that public companies report certain information about operating segments in their financial statements. It also establishes related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company adopted SFAS 131 effective January 1, 1998; however, disclosure is not required on an interim basis. NOTE 4 - STOCK SPLIT On May 29, 1998, the Company completed a three-for-two stock split to stockholders of record May 19, 1998. Historical share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the stock split. 4 7 NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT Mexico Acquisitions - On July 1, 1998, pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Assignment Agreement, dated June 4, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Vendor, S.A. de C.V., the outdoor advertising subsidiary of Televisa, S.A. de C.V. for approximately US$216.0 million. In addition, pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Assignment Agreement, dated June 4, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the outdoor advertising assets of MM Billboard, S.A. de C.V., an outdoor advertising company in northern Mexico, for approximately US$21.9 million. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 include the operations of Van Wagner Communications, Inc., the acquisition of which was completed May 22, 1997, the outdoor advertising operations of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, the acquisition of which was completed August 15, 1997, and the several other acquisitions completed during 1997 (collectively, the "1997 Acquisitions"). COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND JUNE 30, 1997 Gross revenues increased 75.5% to $194.0 million during the second quarter of 1998 compared to $110.5 million in the second quarter of 1997. Gross revenues increased approximately 12.7% during the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997 for markets where the Company operated both in the 1998 and 1997 periods. The balance of the increased revenues were a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. Agency commissions were 13.2% and 14.0% of gross revenues in the second quarter of 1998 and the second quarter of 1997, respectively. The decrease in agency commissions as a percentage of gross revenues was primarily a result of a slightly lower proportion of revenues generated through advertising agencies in the 1998 period. Net revenues increased by 74.6% to $173.8 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $99.6 million in the second quarter of 1997, primarily as a result of the increase in gross revenues combined with an increase of $1.0 million of other income. Other income increased primarily due to the inclusion of license fee revenue from perpetual easements acquired in the second quarter of 1997. Direct advertising expenses increased to $81.2 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $52.9 million in the second quarter of 1997. This was primarily a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues, direct advertising expenses were approximately 46.7% in the second quarter of 1998 compared to 53.1% in the second quarter of 1997 because of efficiencies realized from economies of scale. General and administrative expenses increased to $8.6 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter of 1997. This was primarily a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately 5.0% in the second quarter of 1998 from 6.2% in the second quarter of 1997 because of efficiencies realized from economies of scale. As a result of the above factors, EBITDA increased by 107.6% to $84.1 million in the second quarter of 1998 from $40.5 million in the second quarter of 1997. The performance of an outdoor advertising business, such as the Company, is measured by its ability to generate EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and foreign currency translation loss. EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company believes that EBITDA is accepted by the outdoor advertising industry as a generally recognized measure of performance and is used by analysts who report publicly on the performance of outdoor advertising companies. Nevertheless, this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity which is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 5 8 Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $27.8 million for the second quarter of 1998 compared to $13.5 million in the second quarter of 1997, primarily due to the 1997 Acquisitions, offset in part by certain assets becoming fully depreciated during the second quarter of 1998. As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 16.0% from 13.6% in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997. Interest expense increased to $32.4 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $16.1 million in the second quarter of 1997, as a result of interest expense related to the obligations incurred in connection with the 1997 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues, interest expense increased to 18.6% for the second quarter of 1998 compared to 16.2% for the second quarter of 1997. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $9.5 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 1997. The Company reported a $6.8 million extraordinary loss, net of $4.5 million tax benefit, in the second quarter of 1997 resulting from one time bridge loan commitment costs in connection with one of the 1997 Acquisitions. COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND JUNE 30, 1997 Gross revenues increased by 78.7% to $357.7 million during the first six months of 1998 compared to $200.2 million in the first six months of 1997. Gross revenues increased approximately 12.8% during the first six months of 1998 compared to the first six months of 1997 for markets where the Company operated both in the 1998 and 1997 periods. The balance of the increased revenues were a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. Agency commissions were 13.1% and 14.0% of gross revenues in the first six months of 1998 and the first six months of 1997, respectively. The decrease in agency commissions as a percentage of gross revenues was primarily a result of a slightly lower proportion of revenues generated through advertising agencies in the 1998 period. Net revenues increased by 78.4% to $320.6 million in the first six months of 1998 compared to $179.6 million in the first six months of 1997, primarily as a result of the increase in gross revenues combined with an increase of $2.3 million of other income. Other income increased primarily due to the inclusion of license fee revenue from perpetual easements acquired in the second quarter of 1997. Direct advertising expenses increased to $156.0 million in the first six months of 1998 compared to $97.5 million in the first six months of 1997. This was primarily a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues, direct advertising expenses were approximately 48.7% in the first six months of 1998 compared to 54.3% in the first six months of 1997 because of efficiencies realized from economies of scale. General and administrative expenses increased to $17.2 million in the first six months of 1998 compared to $12.9 million in the first six months of 1997. This was primarily a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately 5.4% in the first six months of 1998 from 7.2% in the first six months of 1997 because of efficiencies realized from economies of scale. As a result of the above factors, EBITDA increased by 112.8% to $147.4 million in the first six months of 1998 from $69.2 million in the first six months of 1997. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $54.9 million in the first six months of 1998 compared to $25.2 million in the first six months of 1997, primarily due to the 1997 Acquisitions, offset in part by certain assets becoming fully depreciated during the first six months of 1998. As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 17.1% from 14.0% in the first six months of 1998 compared to the first six months of 1997. Interest expense increased to $64.3 million in the first six months of 1998 from $31.7 million in the first six months of 1997, as a result of interest expense related to the obligations incurred in connection with the 1997 6 9 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues, interest expense increased to 20.1% for the first six months of 1998 compared to 17.6% for the first six months of 1997. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $11.6 million in the first six months of 1998 compared to $5.0 million in the first six months of 1997. The Company reported a $6.8 million extraordinary loss, net of $4.5 million tax benefit, in the first six months of 1997 resulting from one time bridge loan commitment costs in connection with one of the 1997 Acquisitions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's working capital increased to $91.3 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $61.2 million at December 31, 1997. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in accounts receivable and the decrease in accrued expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $22.8 million to $52.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to the increase in net income, changes in working capital accounts and the effect of a larger depreciation and amortization expense as a component of net income offset in part by the extraordinary loss in 1997. Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $87.0 million in the first six months of 1998 from $323.4 million in the first six months of 1997, primarily because of the 1997 Acquisitions. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $37.3 million for the first six months of 1998 compared to $600.8 million for the first six months of 1997, primarily because of borrowings under the senior credit facility used for the 1997 Acquisitions. The Company made approximately $16.5 million of capital expenditures during the first six months of 1998, an increase from approximately $9.7 million during the first six months of 1997. Currently, the Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures, although it anticipates ongoing capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business, other than for acquisitions, will be approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million in each of the next two years. The Company believes that internally generated funds and available borrowings under the senior credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy its operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve to twenty-four months. The Company may, however, require additional capital to consummate significant acquisitions in the future and there can be no assurance that such capital will be available. The Company recognizes the need to ensure that its operations will not be adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. The Company has identified all significant applications that will require modification to ensure Year 2000 compliance ("Year 2000 Compliance"). Internal and external resources are being used to make the required modifications and test Year 2000 Compliance. The Company plans on completing the testing process of all significant applications by December 31, 1998. In addition, the Company has communicated with others with whom it does significant business to determine their Year 2000 Compliance readiness and the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any third party Year 2000 issues. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted, or that a failure to convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible with the Company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The total cost to the Company of these Year 2000 Compliance activities has not been and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or results of operations in any given year. These costs and the date on which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000 modification and testing processes are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the continued availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ from those plans. Mexico Acquisitions - On July 1, 1998, pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Assignment Agreement, dated June 4, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Vendor, S.A. de C.V., the 7 10 outdoor advertising subsidiary of Televisa, S.A. de C.V. for approximately US$216.0 million. In addition, pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Assignment Agreement, dated June 4, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the outdoor advertising assets of MM Billboard, S.A. de C.V., an outdoor advertising company in northern Mexico, for approximately US$21.9 million. The Company financed the purchase price of these acquisitions with borrowings under the Company's senior credit facility.
