The information included in the foregoing interim financial statements is
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have
been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements, of Minnesota Logos, a Partnership
("The Partnership") and the notes thereto included in the Partnership's
annual report on form 10-K.
Organization
The Partnership is 95% owned by Minnesota Logos, Inc., whose ultimate parent
is Lamar Advertising Company. Global Contracting, L.L.P. owns the remaining
5% of the Partnership.
The Partnership was awarded the Minnesota state logo sign franchise effective
August 1995. Its principal service is to provide interstate logo advertising
in the state of Minnesota.
Change of Fiscal Year End
On December 17, 1996, the General Partner of the Partnership determined to
change the Partnership's fiscal year such that the Partnership's fiscal year
shall end on December 31 of each year. The Partnership's last fiscal year
ended on October 31,1996. The two-month period from November 1, 1996 to
December 31, 1996 is being treated as a transition period that will not be a
part of fiscal year 1996 or fiscal year 1997.
Affiliates
The Partnership is affiliated through common ownership, directorate control and
common management with Lamar Advertising Company, The Lamar Corporation and
their subsidiaries.
Commitments and other Contingencies
The Partnership is a guarantor, jointly and severally with other affiliated
companies, of the payment of approximately $255,000,000 in senior
subordinated notes issued by its parent, Lamar Advertising Company.
The Partnership's employees are covered by Lamar Advertising Company's
self-insured group health program. Coverage is available to all employees
who work in excess of 30 hours per week. The Partnership and/or parent is
obligated to pay all claims on these policies which are in excess of premiums
up to policy limits of $150,000 per employee, per claim, per year, at which
point reinsurance pays any additional charges. The Partnership is also
self-insured with respect to its income disability benefits and against casualty
losses on logo sign structures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities is $113,871 for the

of $58,750, non-cash items of $63,890, a net increase in assets of $36,871 and
net decrease in liabilities of $45,640. Net cash used in investing activities
is $93,075. Cash flows used in financing activities were $20,796 entirely from

in cash for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased $41,421 to $245,171
from $203,750 for the same period in 1996. This increase was due to the
continued development of the program.
Operating expenses exclusive of depreciation and amortization for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 decreased $29,208 to $122,531 from $151,739 for the
same period in 1996.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997
increased $27,215 as compared to the same period in 1996.
