6. | 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 income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

7. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which replaces the requirements under SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 25. The statement sets accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees, including employee stock purchase plans, and requires all share-based payments, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. It carries forward prior guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. The accounting for employee stock ownership plan transactions will continue to be accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6, while awards to most non-employee directors will be accounted for as employee awards. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the effect the new Statement will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company has not completed its analysis; however, the Company expects the adoption of this Statement to result in a reduction of net income which may be material.
8. | Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries |
Separate financial statements of each of the Companys direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that have guaranteed Lamar Medias 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 Medias ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under the terms of its bank credit facility and the indenture relating to Lamar Medias outstanding notes. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 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 $1,992,858 and $1,943,280, respectively.
9. | Earnings Per Share |
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the Companys convertible debt, options and warrants were converted to common stock. The number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation because of their antidilutive effect is 5,581,755 and 6,125,133 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The following table reconciles the net income (loss) and common shares outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS 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 entitled Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and in the 2004 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 Companys and Lamar Medias 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, 2005 and 2004. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes.
OVERVIEW
The Companys 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 5.8% by completing over 260 strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising and transit assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $621.1 million, which included the issuance of 4,050,958 shares of Lamar Advertising Company Class A common stock valued at the time of issuance at approximately $152.5 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 performances of individual markets and of the Company as a whole are not necessarily comparable on a year-to-year basis. With the exception of the new markets acquired as a result of the acquisition of Obie Media Corporation on January 18, 2005 (the Obie markets), the acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2005 were in existing markets. The Obie markets are comprised primarily of transit assets and represent new markets for the Company. Although none of these acquisitions have caused material integration issues, additional time and resources are required to integrate new markets successfully into the Companys business. The Company expects to continue to pursue acquisitions that complement the Companys business.
Growth of the Companys 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, 2005 and 2004:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months ended March 31, 2005 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2004
Net revenues increased $31.8 million or 15.8% to $232.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 2005 from $201.0 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was attributable primarily
to an increase in billboard net revenues of $21.9 million or 11.6%, a $1.0 million increase in logo
sign revenue, which represents an increase of 9.4% over the prior
period, and an $8.8
million increase in transit revenue over the prior period due to the Obie acquisition.
The increase in billboard net revenue of $21.9 million was generated by acquisition activity of approximately $8.8 million and internal growth of approximately $13.1 million, while the increase in logo sign revenue of $1.0 million was generated by internal growth across various markets within the logo sign programs. The increase in transit revenue of approximately $8.8 million was due to internal growth of approximately $1.8 million and acquisition activity, primarily resulting from the Obie acquisition of $7.0 million.
Net revenues (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004, increased $14.1 million or 6.7% as a result of net revenue internal growth. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $17.2 million or 14.4% to $136.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $119.2 million for the same period in 2004. There was a $15.2 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 Companys core assets and a $2.0 million increase in corporate expenses. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily related to increased legal fees, additional accounting and professional fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and additional expenses related to expanded efforts in the Companys business development and national sales department.
Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively constant for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Due to the above factors, operating income increased $16.4 million to $29.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2004.
Interest expense increased $2.0 million from $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to an increase in interest rates.
The increase in operating income offset by the increase in interest expense described above resulted in a $14.9 million increase in income before income taxes. This increase in income resulted in an increase in the income tax expense of $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 over the same period in 2004. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 42.3%, which is greater than the statutory rates due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible expenses.
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 of $5.0 million, as compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the same period in 2004.
Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2003 (the Acquired Assets) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2004 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2004 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 by adding to it the net revenue generated by the Acquired Assets (excluding assets acquired in the Obie markets) prior to our acquisition of them for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended March 31, 2005. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 2005 and 2004 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing with our existing assets. The Companys management has excluded revenues from the Obie markets in the 2005 period and no adjustment has been made to the 2004 period with respect to the Obie markets because of operational issues that are unique to the assets in the Obie markets, which are comprised primarily of transit assets. Management intends to exclude revenues from the Obie markets in this manner until the Company has owned and operated these assets for twelve months.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For this adjustment, we measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the assets (excluding the Obie markets) during the period in 2004 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in 2005 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as acquisition net revenue, excluding the Obie markets. Net revenue (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) is also not determined in accordance with GAAP and excludes the revenue generated by the assets in the Obie markets from the Companys reported net revenue during the 2005 period. Reconciliations of 2004 reported net revenue to 2004 acquisition-adjusted net revenue and 2005 reported net revenue to 2005 net revenue (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) for each of the three month periods ended March 31, as well as a comparison of 2004 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2005 net revenue (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) for each of the three month periods ended March 31, are provided below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under its bank credit facility. The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the borrower under the bank credit facility and maintains all corporate cash balances. Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media. The Companys 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 Companys subsidiaries using the Companys Class A common stock, a permanent contribution of additional paid-in-capital of Class A common stock is distributed to that subsidiary.
Sources of Cash
Total Liquidity at March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005 we had approximately $185.2 million of total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $7.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and the ability to draw approximately $177.6 million under our revolving bank credit facility.
Cash Generated by Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 our cash provided by operating activities was $24.5 million and $35.6 million, respectively. While our net income was approximately $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, we generated cash from operating activities during 2005 of $24.5 million primarily due to adjustments needed to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities, which primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $69.2 million. In addition, there was an increase in working capital of $54.4 million. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 2005 in excess of our cash needs for operations and capital expenditures as described herein. We expect to use the excess cash generated principally for acquisitions and to reduce debt. See Cash Flows for more information.
Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2005 we had approximately $177.6 million of unused capacity under our revolving credit facility. 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.
17
Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity
Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting internally generated cash flow are general economic conditions, specific economic conditions in the markets where the Company conducts its business and overall spending on advertising by advertisers.
Restrictions Under Credit Facilities and Other Debt Securities. Currently Lamar Media has outstanding approximately $385.0 million 71/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 issued in December 2002 and June 2003. The indentures relating to Lamar Medias 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 Medias 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 Lamar Media fails to comply with these tests, its obligations under the bank credit agreement may be accelerated. At March 31, 2005 and currently, Lamar Media is in compliance with all such tests.
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 5.75 to 1; and | |
| a senior debt ratio, defined as total consolidated senior debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters, of 3.75 to 1. |
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 Medias 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 the Company during any period to enable the 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 2005. All debt obligations are reflected on the Companys balance sheet.
Uses of Cash
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions were approximately $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We anticipate our 2005 total capital expenditures for construction and improvements to be approximately $80 to $85 million.
Acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company financed its acquisition activity of approximately $103.9 million with borrowings under Lamar Medias revolving credit facility and cash on hand totaling $60.6 million as well as the issuance of the Companys Class A common stock valued at the time of issuance at approximately $43.3 million. In 2005, we expect to spend between $125 and $175 million on acquisitions, which we may finance through borrowings, cash on hand, the issuance of Class A common stock, or some combination of the foregoing, depending on market conditions.
18
We plan on continuing to invest in both capital expenditures and acquisitions that can provide high returns in light of existing market conditions.
Debt Service and Contractual Obligations. As of March 31, 2005, we had outstanding debt of approximately $1.7 billion. For the year ending December 31, 2005 we are obligated to make a total of approximately $149.2 million in interest and principal payments on outstanding debt. Lamar Media has principal reduction obligations and revolver commitment reductions under its bank credit agreement, as described in Note 8 of the Notes to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Cash Flows
The Companys cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 due primarily to an increase in net income of $8.7 million as described in Results of Operations and an increase in adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to cash provided by operating activities of $5.0 million, which primarily is an increase in deferred income tax expense of $6.5 million. In addition, as compared to the same period in 2004, there were decreases in the change in receivables of $16.1 million, prepaid expenses of $1.8 million, and other assets of $5.4 million.
Cash flows used in investing activities increased $44.1 million from $35.8 million in 2004 to $79.9 million in 2005 primarily due to the increase in cash used in acquisition activity by the Company in 2005 of $39.5 million and an increase in capital expenditures of $4.6 million.
Cash flows provided by financing activities was $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 primarily due to $35.0 million in borrowings under credit agreements offset by $18.1 million in principal payments on long-term debt.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which replaces the requirements under SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 25. The statement sets accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees, including employee stock purchase plans, and requires all share-based payments, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. It carries forward prior guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. The accounting for employee stock ownership plan transactions will continue to be accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6, while awards to most non-employee directors will be accounted for as employee awards. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company has not yet determined the effect the new Statement will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company has not completed its analysis; however, the Company expects the adoption of this Statement to result in a reduction of net income which may be material.
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, 2005 and 2004. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes.
Three Months ended March 31, 2005 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2004
Net revenues increased $31.8 million or 15.8% to $232.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 2005 from $201.0 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was attributable primarily
to an increase in billboard net revenues of $21.9 million or 11.6%, a $1.0 million increase in logo
sign revenue, which represents an increase of 9.4% over the prior period, and an $8.8
million increase in transit revenue over the prior period due to the Obie acquisition.
The increase in billboard net revenue of $21.9 million was generated by acquisition activity of approximately $8.8 million and internal growth of approximately $13.1 million, while the increase in logo sign revenue of $1.0 million was generated by internal growth across various markets within the logo sign programs. The increase in transit revenue of approximately $8.8 million was generated by internal growth of approximately $1.8 million and acquisition activity resulting from the Obie acquisition of $7.0 million.
Net revenues (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004, increased $14.1 million or 6.7% as a result of net revenue internal growth. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $17.2 million or 14.4% to $136.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $119.1 million for the same period in 2004. There was a $15.2 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 Companys core assets and a $2.0 million increase in corporate expenses. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily related to increased legal fees, additional accounting and professional fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and additional expenses related to expanded efforts in the Companys business development and national sales department.
19
Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively constant for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Due to the above factors, operating income increased $16.5 million to $29.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2004.
Interest expense increased $1.8 million from $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to an increase in interest rates.
The increase in operating income and the increase in interest expense described above resulted in a $15.1 million increase in income before income taxes. This increase in income resulted in an increase in the income tax expense of $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 over the same period in 2004. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 41.1%, which is greater than the statutory rates due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible expenses.
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 of $6.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $2.1 million for the same period in 2004.
Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2003 (the Acquired Assets) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2004 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2004 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 by adding to it the net revenue generated by the Acquired Assets (excluding assets acquired in the Obie markets) prior to our acquisition of them for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended March 31, 2005. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 2005 and 2004 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing with our existing assets. The Companys management has excluded revenues from the Obie markets in the 2005 period and no adjustment has been made to the 2004 period with respect to the Obie markets because of operational issues that are unique to the assets in the Obie markets, which are comprised primarily of transit assets. Management intends to exclude revenues from the Obie markets in this manner until the Company has owned and operated these assets for twelve months.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For this adjustment, we measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the assets (excluding the Obie markets) during the period in 2004 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in 2005 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as acquisition net revenue, excluding the Obie markets. Net revenue (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) is also not determined in accordance with GAAP and excludes the revenue generated by the assets in the Obie markets from the Companys reported net revenue during the 2005 period. Reconciliations of 2004 reported net revenue to 2004 acquisition-adjusted net revenue and 2005 reported net revenue to 2005 net revenue (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) for each of the three month periods ended March 31, as well as a comparison of 2004 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2005 net revenue (excluding revenues from the Obie markets) for each of the three month periods ended March 31, are provided below:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Lamar Media. The information below summarizes the Companys interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at March 31, 2005, and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Loans under Lamar Medias 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 Companys net income.
At March 31, 2005, there was approximately $992.7 million of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the bank credit agreement, or approximately 62.1% of the Companys outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 with respect to borrowings under the bank credit agreement was $10.4 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 4.1%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 6.1% rather than 4.1%), then the Companys three months ended March 31, 2005 interest expense would have been approximately $5.0 million higher resulting in a $2.9 million decrease in the Companys three months ended March 31, 2005 net income.
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 Companys 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 if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Companys and Lamar Medias 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 Companys and Lamar Medias 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 Companys and Lamar Medias reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.
b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
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 Companys and Lamar Medias internal control performed during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys and Lamar Medias internal control over financial reporting.

Lamar Media Corp. (formerly Lamar Advertising Company), a Delaware corporation (the Borrower), and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the Existing Subsidiary Guarantors and, together with the Borrower, the Securing Parties) are parties to a Credit Agreement dated March 7, 2003 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the Credit Agreement, providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit (by means of loans and letters of credit) to be made by the lenders therein (collectively, together with any entity that becomes a Lender party to the Credit Agreement after the date hereof as provided therein, the Lenders and, together with Administrative Agent and any successors or assigns of any of the foregoing, the Secured Parties) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal or face amount not exceeding $1,200,000,000 (which, in the circumstances contemplated by Section 2.01(d) thereof, may be increased to $1,700,000,000). In addition, the Borrower may from time to time be obligated to one or more of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement in respect of one or more Swap Agreements under and as defined in the Credit Agreement (collectively, the Swap Agreements).
