These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements, the 1998 and 1997 financial statements include investments valued at $794,205 (5 percent of net assets) and $736,874 (6 percent of net assets), respectively, whose values have been estimated by the Board of Trustees in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. We have examined the procedures used by the Board of Trustees in arriving at its estimate of the value of such investments and have inspected underlying documentation, and in the circumstances, we believe that such procedures are reasonable and the documentation appropriate. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. F-1 7 Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules listed in the Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1998 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of assets held for investment purposes that accompanies the Plan's financial statements does not disclose the historical cost of certain Plan assets held by the Plan Custodian. Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

F-4 10 OUTDOOR SYSTEMS, INC. 401(k) PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. SUMMARY OF THE PLAN The following summary of the Outdoor Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. a. General and Transfer of Assets - The Plan, established on January 1, 1987, is a defined contribution plan of Outdoor Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Employer"). It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). In August 1997, account balances of those participants employed by the outdoor advertising division of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company ("3M") were transferred to the Plan in connection with the acquisition of 3M by the Company. b. Contributions - Plan contributions consist of three components: (1) employee deferral contributions based on a participant's monthly pretax compensation up to an annual before-tax dollar limitation, (2) discretionary Employer contributions, as determined annually by the Employer's Board of Directors, and (3) rollover contributions representing qualifying lump-sum distributions received by a participant from a plan sponsored by another employer. Forfeitures representing the value of nonvested benefits of terminated participants are reallocated to active participants of the Plan and serve to reduce Employer contributions to the Plan in the year in which employment terminates. c. Eligibility and Vesting - The Plan is available to all eligible non-union employees of the Company. Employees are eligible for participation in the Plan after 90 days of qualifying service (as defined in the Plan). Participants are immediately 100 percent vested in their voluntary contributions and rollover contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting of Employer contributions plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service. Such vesting commences upon date of hire (as defined in the Plan), with 100 percent vesting being attained after two years of service. d. Participant Benefits and Distribution - The Employer contribution and net investment income are allocated proportionally to individual participant accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Benefits provided by the Plan are paid from the net assets available for benefits. Participants separated from the Plan due to service retirement, total and permanent disability or death are automatically fully vested in their Employer contributions and will receive their benefits including their voluntary contributions and rollover contributions in equal annual installments or a lump sum payment. Participants separated from the Plan due to termination receive a lump sum payment including the full value of their voluntary contributions and rollover contributions and the vested portion of their Employer contributions. F-5 11 e. Participant Loans - Participants may borrow from the Plan subject to a maximum loan balance of the lesser of: (1) 50 percent of their vested account balances or $10,000 if greater, or (2) $50,000 reduced by the excess of the highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12-month period over the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan to the participant on the date of the loan. All loans must be repaid with interest within five years (however, loans used to acquire a principal residence of the participant shall provide for periodic repayment over a reasonable period of time that may exceed five years). Interest rates for loans are determined periodically by the Plan trustee. f. Participant Accounts - For each participant, various accounts are maintained to record participant contributions, employer contributions and rollover deposits transferred to the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the total benefit which can be provided from the combined amount of their participant accounts. g. Priorities Upon Termination of the Plan - Although the Employer has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer has the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event that such termination was to occur, all the Employer contributions would become fully vested. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following are the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. a. Investments - Plan investments are valued at fair value with the exception of the deeds of trust and Fixed Account Fund. Except for the Fixed Account Fund, the investments with Nationwide Insurance Company represent pooled separate accounts which are governed under a variable return contract consisting of numerous mutual fund options with a range of investments objectives. Each participant in the Plan is assigned a number of units based on the dollar amount invested by the participant and the daily unit value of the selected investment funds. A daily unit value is calculated for each Nationwide Investment fund based on the net asset value of the underlying mutual fund plus declared dividends and capital gains distributions less asset management fees for the day. The Fixed Account Fund is a guaranteed return contract that provides an annual interest guarantee. The average yield and crediting interest rate was 5.3 percent and 5.75 percent for 1998 and 1997, respectively, and Nationwide has guaranteed 5.10 percent for 1999. The Fixed Account Fund is valued at contract value, which approximates fair value at December 31, 1998. The deeds of trust have no secondary market and therefore, are stated at their cost which management believes represents a reasonable estimate of their fair market value. The Plan offers participants the following funds, as described in the individual fund's prospectus (except for the deeds of trust), to invest pre-tax and rollover deposits: 1) THE DREYFUS A BONDS PLUS FUND - This fund primarily invests in corporate bonds and notes and short-term securities. 2) THE FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND - This fund primarily invests in growth, cyclical and value stocks, and securities convertible to common stocks. The fund may also invest in other securities, such as preferred stocks and bonds. F-6 12 3) THE FIDELITY ADVISOR HIGH YIELD A FUND - This fund primarily invests in high-yielding, fixed income and zero coupon securities, such as bonds, debentures and notes, convertible securities and preferred stock. 4) THE FIDELITY ASSET MANAGER FUND - This fund primarily invests in stocks, bonds and short-term instruments. 5) FEDERATED BOND FUND - This fund invests at least 65 percent of its assets in investment-grade corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, preferred stock, convertibles and cash. It may invest up to 35 percent of assets in debt rated as low as B. It may invest up to 25 percent in debt securities of foreign governments. 6) NATIONWIDE FUND - This fund invests primarily in common stocks, but may also include convertible issues, bonds and money market instruments. 7) THE NEUBERGER & BERMAN PARTNERS TRUST FUND - This fund primarily invests in common stocks, bonds, and debentures believed to have potential for appreciation in value. 8) THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ULTRA INVESTORS FUND - This fund invests primarily in domestic common stocks considered to have better-than-average prospects for appreciation. 9) THE TEMPLETON FOREIGN FUND - This fund primarily invests in stock and debt obligations of companies and governments outside the United States. 10) THE FIXED ACCOUNT FUND - This fund represents investments in a guaranteed return contract that provides an annual interest guarantee. 11) THE WARBURG PINCUS EMERGING GROWTH FUND - This fund primarily invests in equity securities of small-to-medium sized companies in the United States. 12) THE NEUBERGER & BERMAN GUARDIAN TRUST FUND - This fund primarily invests in stocks of established companies believed to be undervalued in comparison to stocks of similar companies. 13) THE NATIONWIDE MONEY MARKET FUND - This fund primarily invests in commercial paper and U.S. Government obligations. 14) PERSONAL PORTFOLIO - These funds invest in balanced portfolios of cash, bonds and stock. 15) THE OUTDOOR SYSTEMS COMMON STOCK FUND - This fund invests in the common stock of Outdoor Systems, Inc. 16) DEEDS OF TRUST - These investments are in first deeds of trust. All deeds of trust are held in conjunction with related parties (Note 4). Effective January 1, 1995, this investment option is no longer open to participant contributions; however, all income earned on this investment will continue to be reinvested in the fund. b. Contributions - Employer contributions are accrued annually based upon the amount approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. F-7 13 c. Income and Expenses - Investment income includes interest and dividend income earned on the deeds of trust, investment funds, cash accounts, and participant loans. The Company provides legal, accounting, office space and clerical services to the Plan without charge. d. Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid. e. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily 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 additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3.

INVESTMENTS The Plan's investments in individual deeds of trust represent a percentage of the entire applicable deed of trust, the remainder of which is held by related plans with a common trustee. These investments are collateralized by real property, the majority of which is located in Maricopa County, Arizona. There is no unrealized appreciation/depreciation on deeds of trust as management believes the cost of the investments represents a reasonable estimate of their fair market values.

TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has determined and informed the Employer by letter dated January 8, 1998 that the Plan and related trust meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter and the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain Plan investments are shares of funds managed by Nationwide Insurance. Nationwide Insurance is a Custodian as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Other Plan investments are held in deeds of trust which are held in conjunction with related plans with a common trustee. Certain Plan assets are invested in the stock of Outdoor Systems, Inc. Outdoor Systems, Inc. is the Plan Sponsor. These transactions also qualify as party-in-interest transactions to the Plan. The transactions are permitted under the instruments under which the Plan is maintained. F-11 17 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On May 27, 1999, the Plan sponsor, Outdoor Systems, Inc. ("OSI"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Infinity Broadcasting Corporation ("Infinity") and Burma Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infinity ("Subsidiary"). The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition of OSI by Infinity pursuant to the merger (the "Merger") of Subsidiary with and into OSI, with OSI surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infinity.
