Explanatory Note

In connection with the preparation of its Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company determined, in consultation with its outside auditors, to change the way it applies Financial Accounting Standard 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2003. The Company has decided to expand the scope of the outdoor advertising structures that are subject to the calculation of the asset retirement obligations required under Financial Accounting Standard 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” by including steel structures in addition to non-steel structures, instead of accounting for such costs under Financial Accounting Standard 13, “Accounting for Leases.”

As a result, the Company is restating its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. Amendments to the Company’s previously filed Form 10-K for 2003 and its Forms 10-Q for its first quarter of 2004 will be filed to reflect this restatement. In this Form 10-Q/A, the financial statements and other information for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and all comparative information for 2003 are presented on this restated basis. See Note 2 “Restatement of Financial Statements”. “In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in our Form 10-Q as originally filed, no attempt has been made in this amendment to modify or update such disclosures except as required to reflect the effects of the restatement.”

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

Significant Accounting Policies

The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2003 Combined Form 10-K.

The Company previously included amortization of debt issuance costs under depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company is reclassifying this cost to interest expense. The effect of this reclassification is a decrease in depreciation and amortization and an increase in interest expense and operating income in the prior periods. The reclassification had no effect on previously reported net income. The amortization of debt issuance fees was $1,332 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and $1,579 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Restatement of Financial Statements

The Company is restating its financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The Company will also amend and restate its financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2003 annual report on Form 10-K and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 on Form 10-Q.

This restatement of the financial statements corrects the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (Statement 143), effective January 1, 2003. Previously all of the Company’s liabilities for asset retirement obligations related to the Company’s structure inventory that it considers would be retired upon dismantlement of the advertising structure. The Company’s steel structures, unlike its non-steel structures, are not typically retired but relocated to another location. As such, the costs associated with the removal of the steel structures and resurfacing of the land were believed to be outside the scope of Statement 143 and were recorded when incurred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 13, “Accounting for Leases”. The Company reconsidered the provisions of Statement 143 and has determined that the liabilities should include costs associated with the removal of the steel structures and resurfacing of the land in the asset retirement obligation.

The effect of the restatement on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 are set forth below:


	Three months ended						Three months ended

The as restated three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 results have been adjusted for the amortization of deferred financing cost reclassification as discussed in footnote 1 to these quarterly financial statements.

Acquisitions

On January 8, 2004, the Company purchased the assets of Advantage Advertising, LLC valued at approximately $7,158. The purchase price consisted of approximately $5,728 cash at closing and the exercise of an option agreement previously entered into, valued at approximately $1,430.

On January 30, 2004, the Company purchased the assets of Action Advertising, Inc. for a cash purchase price of approximately $8,610.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company completed additional acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of approximately $10,980, which consisted of the issuance of 68,986 shares of Lamar Advertising Class A common stock valued at $2,476, warrants valued at $1,794 and $6,710 cash.

Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition.

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (Statement 143), and recorded a loss of $40,240 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, which is net of an income tax benefit of $25,727. Prior to its adoption of Statement 143, the Company expensed these costs at the date of retirement.

The Company’s asset retirement obligation includes the costs associated with the removal of its structures, resurfacing of the land and retirement cost, if applicable, related to the Company’s outdoor advertising portfolio. The following table reflects information related to our asset retirement obligations:


Balance at December 31, 2003 (restated)	$	123,217
Additions to asset retirement obligations		2,422
Accretion expense		2,566
Liabilities settled		(764	)

Balance at March 31, 2004 (restated)	$	127,441

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock option plan under the intrinsic value method 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” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” permit entities to recognize as an 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 following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per common share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries

Separate financial statements of each of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that have guaranteed Lamar Media’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 to be 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. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the net assets restricted as to transfers from Lamar Media Corp. to Lamar Advertising Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances were $1,914,392 and $1,903,600, respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and existing variable interest entities at the end of the period ending after March 15, 2004. The application of this Interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as the Company has no interest in variable interest entities.

11.

Subsequent Event

An unsolicited offer was made by Outdoor Promotions, Inc. to purchase selected transit advertising assets from the Company for approximately $2,950. The sale of these assets was closed on April 23, 2004 at which time the carrying value was approximately $7,030.

Significant Accounting Policies

The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of Lamar Media’s 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 Lamar Media’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2003 Combined Form 10-K.

Lamar Media previously included amortization of debt issuance costs under depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company is reclassifying this cost to interest expense. The effect of this reclassification is a decrease in depreciation and amortization and an increase expense and operating income in the prior periods. The reclassification had no effect on previously reported net income. The amortization of debt issuance fees was $800 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and $748 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Certain footnotes are not provided for the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the information in notes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Lamar Advertising Company included elsewhere in this report is substantially equivalent to that required for the condensed consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media Corp.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties described in the section of this combined report on Form 10-Q/A entitled “Note Regarding Forward – Looking Statements” and in the 2003 Combined Form 10-K under the caption “Factors Affecting Future Operating Results.” You should carefully consider each of these risks and uncertainties in evaluating the Company’s and Lamar Media’s financial conditions and results of operations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These statements speak only as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the statements, except as may be required by law.

Lamar Advertising Company

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. 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. 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. Advertising spending is particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions.

Since December 31, 2001, the Company has increased the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates by approximately 3% by completing over 170 strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising and transit assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $349 million, which included the issuance of 3,024,545 shares of Lamar Advertising Company Class A common stock valued at the time of issuance at approximately $109.2 million and warrants valued at the time of issuance of approximately $1.8 million. The Company has financed its recent acquisitions and intends to finance its future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its bank credit agreement, as amended, and the issuance of Class A common stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. 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. The Company expects to continue to pursue acquisitions that complement the Company’s existing operations.

Growth of the Company’s business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs associated with new billboard displays, logo sign and transit contracts, and the purchase of real estate and operating equipment. The following table presents a breakdown of capitalized expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003

Net revenues increased $16.8 million or 9.1% to $201.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $184.2 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million or 9.6%. The increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million was due to both acquisition activity and internal growth. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue⁽¹⁾ for the three months ended March 31, 2003, which includes adjustments for acquisitions for the same time frame as actually owned in 2004, increased $11.1 million or 5.9% as a result of net revenue internal growth.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $4.8 million or 4.2% to $119.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $114.4 million for the same period in 2003. There was a $4.2 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in costs in operating the Company’s core assets and a $0.6 million increase in corporate expenses which is primarily related to the new national sales department established at the corporate headquarters to better serve the Company’s national accounts.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million or 3.1% from $68.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $70.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, due to continued acquisition activity and capital expenditures.

Due to the above factors, operating income increased $10.7 million to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2003.

Interest expense decreased $6.4 million from $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as a result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 there were no refinancing activities resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The increase in operating income, the absence of the loss on extinguishment of debt and the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $28.2 million decrease in loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. There was a decrease in the income tax benefit of $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 over the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is 41.2%.

Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 143 during the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of $40.2 million net of an income tax benefit of $25.7 million.

As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $3.6 million, as compared to a net loss of $62.0 million for the same period in 2003.

On April 23, 2004, the Company sold transit advertising assets with a carrying value of approximately $7.0 million to Outdoor Promotions, Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $3.0 million, which will be recorded as a loss on disposition of assets in the second quarter of 2004. The sale of these assets is not expected to have a material effect on our revenues.

Reconciliation of Reported Net Revenue to Acquisition-Adjusted Net Revenue:


	Three months ended March 31,
	(in thousands)
	2004		2003
Reported net revenue	$	200,976	$	184,221
Acquisition net revenue		—		5,621

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue	$	200,976	$	189,842

The Company’s management believes that acquisition-adjusted net revenue is useful in evaluating the Company’s performance and provides investors and financial analysts a better understanding of the Company’s core operating results. The acquisition adjustments are intended to provide information that may be useful for investors when assessing period to period results. Our presentations of this measure, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under its bank credit facility. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the borrower under the bank credit facility and maintains all corporate cash balances. Any cash requirements of Lamar Advertising, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media. The Company’s acquisitions have been financed primarily with funds borrowed under the bank credit facility and issuance of its Class A common stock and debt securities. If an acquisition is made by one of the Company’s subsidiaries using the Company’s Class A common stock, a permanent contribution of additional paid-in-capital of Class A common stock is distributed to that subsidiary.

The Company’s cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 due primarily to a decrease in net loss of $58.3 million offset by a decrease in adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $41.6 million, which primarily includes a decrease in the loss on extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million, a decrease in the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $40.2 million offset by a decrease in deferred income tax benefit of $9.9 million. In addition, as compared to the same period in 2003, there were increases in the change in receivables of $1.2 million and prepaid expenses of $1.2 million, and decreases in other liabilities of $0.5 million, trade accounts payable of $0.4 million and in accrued expenses of $0.6 million offset by a decrease in other assets of $1.7 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $12.3 million from $23.5 million in 2003 to $35.8 million in 2004 primarily due to the increase in cash used in acquisition activity by the Company in 2004 of $14.4 million offset by a decrease in cash used for capital expenditures of $1.9 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 due to a decrease in cash from deposits for debt extinguishment of $266.7 million offset by a $262.0 million decrease in principal payments of long-term debt related to the Company’s refinancing activity in 2003. In addition, there was a $6.1 million increase in proceeds from issuance of the Company’s Class A common stock related to option activity, a $7.4 million decrease in debt issuance costs and a $5.0 million increase in net payments under credit agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company financed its acquisition activity of approximately $25.3 million with borrowings under Lamar Media’s revolving credit facility and cash on hand totaling $21.0 million as well as the issuance of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants valued at the time of issuance at approximately $4.3 million.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., amended its bank credit facility in February 2004 whereby it changed its $975.0 million term facility which included a $300 million Tranche A facility and a $675 million Tranche B facility to a $425.0 million Tranche A and a $550.0 million Tranche C facility. The total debt outstanding remained unchanged. The bank credit facility is comprised of a $225.0 million revolving bank credit facility and a $975.0 million term facility. The bank credit facility also includes a $500.0 million incremental facility, which permits Lamar Media to request that its lenders enter into commitments to make additional term loans to it, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $500.0 million. The lenders have no obligation to make additional term loans to Lamar Media under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion. At March 31, 2004, Lamar Media had $182.3 million available under its revolving bank credit facility.

In the future, Lamar Media has principal reduction obligations and revolver commitment reductions under its bank credit agreement. In addition it has fixed commercial commitments. These commitments were detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, which was filed on March 10, 2004 and there have been no material changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Currently Lamar Media has outstanding approximately $385.0 million 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 issued in December 2002 and June 2003. The indenture relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur indebtedness other than:

•

up to $1.3 billion of indebtedness under its bank credit facility;

•

currently outstanding indebtedness or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt;

•

inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its subsidiaries or between subsidiaries;

•

certain purchase money indebtedness and capitalized lease obligations to acquire or lease property in the ordinary course of business that cannot exceed the greater of $20 million or 5% of Lamar Media’s net tangible assets; and

•

additional debt not to exceed $40 million.

Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under its bank credit agreement. If the Company fails to comply with these tests, the payments set forth in the above table may be accelerated. At March 31, 2004 and currently Lamar Media is in compliance with all such tests.

-15-

Lamar Media cannot exceed the following financial ratios under its bank credit facility:

•

a total debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters, of 6.00 to 1 (through December 30, 2004) and 5.75 to 1 (after December 30, 2004); and

•

a senior debt ratio, defined as total consolidated senior debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters, of 4.00 to 1 (through December 30, 2004) and 3.75 to 1 (after December 30, 2004).

In addition, the bank credit facility requires that Lamar Media must maintain the following financial ratios:

•

an interest coverage ratio defined as EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters to total consolidated accrued interest expense for that period, of at least 2.25 to 1; and

•

a fixed charges coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters to (1) the total payments of principal and interest on debt for such period (2) capital expenditures made during such period and (3) income and franchise tax payments made during such period, of at least 1.05 to 1.

As defined under Lamar Media’s bank credit facility, EBITDA is for any period, operating income for Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated before taxes, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash income or charges accrued for such period and (except to the extent received or paid in cash by Lamar Media or any of its restricted subsidiaries) income or loss attributable to equity in affiliates for such period) excluding any extraordinary and unusual gains or losses during such period and excluding the proceeds of any casualty events whereby insurance or other proceeds are received and certain dispositions not in the ordinary course. Any dividend payment made by Lamar Media or any of its restricted subsidiaries to Lamar Advertising Company during any period to enable Lamar Advertising Company to pay certain qualified expenses on behalf of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries, shall be treated as operating expenses of Lamar Media for the purposes of calculating EBITDA for such period. EBITDA under the bank credit agreement is also adjusted to reflect certain acquisitions or dispositions as if such acquisitions or dispositions were made on the first day of such period.

The Company believes that its current level of cash on hand, availability under its bank credit agreement and future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet its operating needs through the year 2004. All debt obligations are on the Company’s balance sheet.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Lamar Media Corp.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes.

Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003

Net revenues increased $16.8 million or 9.1% to $201.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $184.2 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million or 9.6%. The increase in billboard net revenues of $16.4 million was due to both acquisition activity and internal growth. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue⁽²⁾ for the three months ended March 31, 2003, which includes adjustments for acquisitions for the same time frame as actually owned in 2004, increased $11.1 million or 5.9% as a result of net revenue internal growth.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $4.7 million or 4.1% to $119.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $114.4 million for the same period in 2003. There was a $4.2 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in costs in operating Media’s core assets and a $0.6 million increase in corporate expenses which is primarily related to the new national sales department established at the corporate headquarters to better serve Media’s national accounts.

Due to the above factors, operating income increased $10.6 million to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2003.

Interest expense decreased $4.4 million from $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as a result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt. In addition for the three months ended March 31, 2004 there were no refinancing activities resulting in a loss of extinguishment of debt.

The increase in operating income, the absence of the loss on extinguishment of debt and the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $26.2 million decrease in loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. There was a decrease in the income tax benefit of $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 over the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is 41.4%.

Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 143 during the three months ended March 31, 2003, Media recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of $40.2 million net of an income tax benefit of $25.7 million.

As a result of the above factors, Media recognized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $2.1 million, as compared to a net loss of $59.2 million for the same period in 2003.

On April 23, 2004, the Company sold transit advertising assets with a carrying value of approximately $7.0 million to Outdoor Promotions, Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $3.0 million, which will be recorded as a loss on disposition of assets in the second quarter 2004. The sale of these assets is not expected to have a material effect on our revenues.

Reconciliation of Reported Net Revenue to Acquisition-Adjusted Net Revenue:


	Three months ended March 31,
	(in thousands)
	2004		2003
Reported net revenue	$	200,976	$	184,221
Acquisition net revenue		—		5,621

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue	$	200,976	$	189,842

Media’s management believes that acquisition-adjusted net revenue is useful in evaluating the Company’s performance and provides investors and financial analysts a better understanding of Media’s core operating results. The acquisition adjustments are intended to provide information that may be useful for investors when assessing period to period results. Our presentations of this measure, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

ITEM 3. 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 information below summarizes the Company’s interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at March 31, 2004, and should be read in conjunction with Note 9 of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, which was filed on March 10, 2004.

Loans under Lamar Media Corp.’s bank credit agreement bear interest at variable rates equal to the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Because the JPMorgan 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 bank credit agreement. Increases in the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the bank credit agreement would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company’s net income.

At March 31, 2004, there was approximately $1.0 billion of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the bank credit agreement, or approximately 60.2% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the first quarter of 2004 with respect to borrowings under the bank credit agreement was $8.3 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during the first quarter of 2004 was 3.1%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 5.1% rather than 3.1%), then the Company’s first quarter 2004 interest expense would have been approximately $5.2 million higher resulting in a $3.1 million increase in the Company’s first quarter 2004 net loss.

The Company has attempted to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by 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 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s and Lamar Media’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and Lamar Media, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s and Lamar Media’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and Lamar Media concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s and Lamar Media’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

Changes in internal controls.

There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company and Lamar Media identified in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control performed during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHSES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

(c) In connection with the acquisition of the Robert G. Woodward Entities on January 9, 2004, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 50,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a price per share of $35.89 (the “Warrant”), which is exercisable in whole or part through January 9, 2009. The total acquisition consideration for the Robert G. Woodward Entities consisted of the Warrant, approximately $1.9 million in cash and 68,986 shares of Class A common stock, which were issued off the Company’s effective S-4 registration statement (File No. 333-108689). The Warrant was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. As a basis for doing so the Company relied on the following facts: (1) the Company offered these securities to one offeree without any general solicitation and (2) the Company obtained representations from the purchaser that it was acquiring the shares for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the same.
