Exhibit 99.1
Independent Auditors Report
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vista Media Group, Inc. (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Entravision Communications Corporation) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders (deficit) and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Vista Media Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and
2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
On May 16, 2008, Vista Media Group, Inc. was sold to Lamar Advertising Penn, LLC for $100 million
in cash.

Vista Media Group, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
Nature of business: Vista Media Group, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Z-Spanish
Media Corporation which is wholly owned by Entravision Communications Corporation (the Parent
Company) (NYSE: EVC). The Company is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating
approximately 11,000 outdoor advertising displays which are located primarily in New York and
California. The Parent Company reported the Company as held for sale in its 2007 consolidated
balance sheet. On May 16, 2008, the Parent Company sold the Company, pursuant to a stock purchase
agreement, to Lamar Advertising of Penn, LLC for $100 million in cash (see Note 8).
Accounting and reporting policies: The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A summary
of the Companys significant accounting and reporting policies is as follows:
Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Seaboard Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc. and Sale
Point Posters, Inc. Both of these subsidiaries are inactive. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited interim financial statements: The interim financial statements of Vista Media Group, Inc.
as of March 31, 2008, and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited.
However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys
financial position as of March 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. These results are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The accompanying financial
statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Refer to the accompanying audited consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Companys operations are affected by numerous factors, including priorities of advertisers, new
laws and governmental regulations and policies and technological advances. The Company cannot
predict if any of these factors might have a significant impact on the outdoor advertising industry
in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events
might have on the Companys operations and cash flows. Significant estimates and assumptions made
by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated
useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, the recoverability of such assets by their
estimated future undiscounted cash flows, impairment of goodwill and deferred taxes.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds held in general checking
accounts.
Long-lived assets, including intangibles subject to amortization: Property and equipment are
recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives. The Company periodically evaluates assets to he held and used and
long-lived assets held for sale, when events and circumstances warrant such review.
Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives.

Vista Media Group, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies, Continued
Changes in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological
advances or changes to the Companys business strategy, could result in the actual useful lives
differing from initial estimates. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer
attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened
useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of a long-lived
asset should he revised, the Company will amortize or depreciate the net book value in excess of
the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life.
Long-lived assets and asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The
estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future
operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for
impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are
largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the
projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the
assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the
determination is made.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company records impairment losses on
long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might
be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the carrying amounts of those assets. During 2007 the Parent Company reported an impairment loss on
the Companys customer list as a result of the held-for-sale accounting applied by the Parent
Company. However, for purposes of these separate Company financial statements which reflect the
continuing operations of Vista Media Group, Inc., the long-lived assets are classified as held and
used accordingly, the Companys estimate of undiscounted cash flows indicated that such carrying
amounts were expected to be recovered; therefore, no impairment of the Companys long-lived assets
is deemed to exist. If changes in the market result in significant reductions of the cash flows, an
impairment loss might result. However, no such impairment has been identified as of March 31, 2008
(unaudited).
Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In assessing the
recoverability of goodwill, the Company must make assumptions about the estimated future cash flows
and other factors to determine the fair value of this asset. The annual testing date is October 1.
(See Note 2 for discussion regarding impairment of goodwill in 2007.)
Assumptions about future revenue and cash flows require significant judgment because of the current
state of the economy, the fluctuation of actual revenue and the timing of expenses. The Companys
management develops future revenue estimates based on customer commitments and available
advertising space. Estimates of future cash flows assume that expenses will grow at rates
consistent with historical rates. If the expected cash flows are not realized, impairment losses
may be recorded in the future. Whether or not there is an impairment may result from, among other
things, an analysis of performance: the proposed use or sale of assets; market conditions; changes
in applicable laws and regulations, including changes that affect the activities of or the products
or services sold; and other factors. The amount of any quantified impairment charge is required to
be expensed to operations.

Vista Media Group, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies, Continued
Management has determined that the Company operates as a single reporting unit. For goodwill, the
impairment evaluation includes a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit (including
goodwill) to that reporting units fair value. If the reporting units estimated fair value exceeds
the reporting units carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the
reporting unit does not exceed the units carrying value, then an additional analysis is performed
to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit
as if that unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the unit was the
purchase price. If the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities is less than the carrying value of the units goodwill, an
impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
Concentrations of credit risk and trade receivables: The Companys financial instruments that are
exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade
accounts receivable. The Company from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash
equivalents.
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful
receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. A valuation allowance
is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of
regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration a
customers financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade
receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously
written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.
Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the financial statements through a charge to
expense in the amount of $67 thousand, $52 thousand, $278 thousand and $274 thousand for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The net charge-off of bad debts totaled $199 thousand, $139 thousand, $218
thousand and $186 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and for
the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue is included in other liabilities on the balance sheets and
consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance. Deferred advertising revenue is
recognized in income as services are provided over the term of the contract.
Income taxes: In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, the Company has
used the separate return method and computes its tax expense as if it is filing separate tax
returns for federal, California and New York. The Company elected to use the separate return method
because, in the opinion of the Companys management, this method is a systematic and rational
approach to presenting income taxes in a manner consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
The Company is a member of a group that files consolidated federal and combined state tax returns.
Accordingly, income taxes payable to (refundable from) the tax authorities is recognized on the
financial statements of the Parent Company who is the taxpayer for income tax purposes. The members
of the consolidated group allocate payments to any member of the group for the income tax reduction
resulting from the members inclusion in the consolidated return, or the member makes payments to
the Parent Company for its allocated share of the consolidated income tax liability. This
allocation approximates the amounts that would be reported if the Company was separately filing its
tax returns. The result of these allocations is reported on the accompanying balance sheets as part
of the payable to Parent Company. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited), the Company contributed tax losses to the consolidated group
and, as a result, the payable to the Parent Company was reduced by the tax benefit provided.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies, Continued
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for
deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it
is determined to be more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax
laws and rates on the date of enactment.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxesan interpretation of SFAS No. 109, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2007. FIN
48 sets out the use of a single comprehensive model to address uncertainty in tax positions and
clarifies the accounting for income taxes by establishing the minimum recognition threshold and a
measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in order to
be recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective as of the
beginning of the 2007 fiscal year, and there was no cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle required to be recorded as an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit.
Advertising costs: Amounts incurred for advertising costs with third parties are expensed as
incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $75 thousand, $42 thousand, $187 thousand and
$232 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited), and for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Legal costs: Amounts incurred for legal costs that pertain to loss contingencies are expensed as
incurred.
Repairs and maintenance: All costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred.
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue, net of agency commissions,
if any, on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as services are provided.
Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon completion
of the sale.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2008. In
February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on the financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to
measure eligible financial instruments, commitments and certain other arrangements at fair value at
specified election dates with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each subsequent
reporting period. SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which requires an acquirer
to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the
excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 141R is effective beginning in the
first quarter 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141R on the
consolidated financial statements.

Impairment: In accordance with the Companys 2007 annual fourth quarter impairment test, the
Company determined that its carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value as a
result of a sustained, marginal underperformance of expected operating results and a general
slowing of growth in the outdoor business over recent quarters.
The fair value of the Company was estimated to be $100 million, reflecting the current market value
and the expected proceeds to be realized from the sale, which was then completed in May 2008 (see
Note 8). In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company
recorded an impairment of goodwill to reduce its carrying value based on its implied fair value.
This charge totaling approximately $60 million is included in the statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2007.

which does not offset deferred tax assets that reverse in a definite time period.

A valuation allowance in the amount of $18.4 million and $11.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively, has been recorded against the net deferred tax assets as the Company believes
it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate sufficient taxable income to recover
this asset. As of December 31, 2007, the Companys utilization of its available net operating loss
carryforwards against future taxable income is not restricted pursuant to the change in ownership
rules in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). However in subsequent periods, the
utilization of its available net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income may be
restricted pursuant to the change in ownership rules in Section 382 of the IRC. These rules in
general provide that an ownership change occurs when the percentage shareholdings of 5% direct or
indirect shareholders of a loss corporation have in aggregate increased by more than 50 percentage
points during the immediately preceding three years.

Vista Media Group, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 5. Income Taxes, Continued
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 sets out
the use of a single comprehensive model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the
accounting for income taxes by establishing the minimum recognition threshold and a measurement
attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in order to be recognized
in the financial statements. The Company identified no significant uncertain tax positions.
Although no such amounts occurred during the periods covered by these consolidated financial
statements, it is the Companys policy to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax
matters as a component of income tax expense.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, California and New York and various other
states. The Parent Company remains subject to examination in major taxing jurisdictions for the
2003 to 2007 tax years. The Parent Company is currently in the initial examination phase of an
Internal Revenue Service audit for the year 2005 and the outcome to the Company is not yet
determinable.
Note 6. Commitments and Related-party Transactions
The Company has noncancelable agreements with certain media research and ratings providers. As of
December 31, 2007, these agreements expire in January 2010 and obligate the Company to pay a total
of $265 thousand, with annual commitments ranging from $85 thousand to $92 thousand.
The Companys corporate offices are located in Los Angeles, California. The Company utilizes a
minimal amount of space in the building housing Entravisions radio network. There is no lease
agreement and no rent expense paid by the Company for use of this space. The Company also has
offices located in La Mirada, California, New York, New York, and Dallas, Texas. The leases require
the Company to pay taxes and insurance and minor repairs. The leases require monthly payments of
approximately $47 thousand and mature between February and December 2010.
Although certain of the display leases are noncancelable, substantially all of the Companys
outdoor advertising structures are located on property pursuant to leases that automatically renew
unless either the property owner or the Company opts out upon proper notice.
The approximate future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable operating leases at
December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

Total rent expense under operating leases, including rent under month-to-month arrangements, was
approximately $7 million, $5 million, $22 million and $21 million, for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited), and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 6. Commitments and Related-party Transactions, Continued
Employee bonuses: The Company has agreed to pay bonuses to certain employees in connection with the
sale of the Company. The total amount accrued for employee bonuses at March 31, 2008 (unaudited)
and December 31, 2007, respectively, was $720 thousand and $240 thousand.
Other related-party amounts: Included on the Companys consolidated balances are
non-interest-bearing amounts payable to Parent Company and receivable from related party. The
payable was originally established to record the amount financed by the Parent Company in
connection with its 2000 acquisition of the Company and has been subsequently adjusted for
operating amounts between the Parent Company and the Company. Similarly, the receivable from
related party represents operating amounts paid by the Company and due from the Parent Companys
affiliated radio network subsidiary. As no right of offset exists, these amounts are presented
separately on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects that each of these balances will
be forgiven and therefore written off in 2008 in connection with the sale of the Company as
described in Note 8.
Note 7. Litigation
The Company is subject to various outstanding claims and other legal proceedings that arose in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any liability of the Company that may
arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Note 8. Subsequent Event
On February 28, 2008, the Parent Company announced that it had entered into a stock purchase
agreement to sell the Company to Lamar Advertising Penn, LLC for a total consideration of $100
million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The sale was completed in May 2008.

Exhibit 99.2
Lamar Advertising Company and Subsidiaries
Lamar Media Corp.
Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical
consolidated financial statements of Lamar Advertising (Lamar) and the historical financial statements of
Vista Media Group, Inc. (Vista), which Lamar acquired on May 16, 2008, for the year
ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008. The unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements should be read in conjunction with Lamars audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in Lamars Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Lamars unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2008
included in Lamars Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Vista as if
the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2007, in the case of the unaudited pro forma combined
statements of income and at March 31, 2008 in the case of the unaudited pro forma combined balance
sheet. The acquisition of Vista has been accounted for as a purchase in conformity with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. The total cost of the
acquisition has been allocated to the preliminary estimates of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of
May 16, 2008. The excess of purchase
price over the preliminary fair values of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is subject to the
final purchase price allocation and the
resulting effect on income from operations may differ from the pro forma amounts included in this
Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements
presented below do not reflect any anticipated operating efficiencies or cost savings from the
integration of the Vista business into Lamars business.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are
described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions
Lamars management believes are reasonable, but are subject to change. Lamar has made, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma
combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not
purport to represent what Lamars results of operations or financial position actually would have
been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated of to project Lamars financial position as of any
future date or results of operations for any future period.
