4. Long-Term Debt
On December 23, 2002, Lamar Media Corp. completed an offering of $260,000 7 1/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013. These notes are unsecured senior
subordinated obligations and will be subordinated to all of Lamar Media's
existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of Lamar Media's existing
and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to any future subordinated
debt of Lamar Media. The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of these notes,
together with additional cash, was used to redeem all of the outstanding
$255,000 principal amount of Lamar Media's 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2006 on January 22, 2003 at a redemption price equal to 103.208% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued interest through the redemption
date of approximately $3,477 for a total redemption price of approximately
$266,657. The Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $11,173
in the first quarter of 2003 which consists of a prepayment premium of $8,180
and associated debt issuance costs of $2,993.
On June 12, 2003, Lamar Media Corp. issued $125,000 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2013 as an add on to the $260,000 issued in December 2002. The issue
price of the $125,000 7 1/4% Notes was 103.661% which yields an effective rate
of 6 5/8% . The proceeds of the issuance were used to redeem approximately
$100,000 of Lamar Media's 8 5/8% senior subordinated notes for a redemption
price equal to 104.313% of the principal amount of the notes. The Company
recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5,754 in the second quarter 2003
related to this prepayment. Approximately $100,000 in aggregate principal amount
of our 8 5/8% notes remain outstanding following this redemption.
On June 16, 2003, the Company issued $287,500 2 7/8% Convertible Notes due 2010.
The net proceeds from these notes together with additional cash were used on
July 16, 2003 to redeem all of the Company's outstanding 5 1/4% convertible
notes due 2006 in aggregate principal amount of approximately $287,500, on July
16, 2003 for a redemption price equal to 103.0% of the principal amount of
notes. The Company will record a loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the
third quarter of 2003 of approximately $12,566 related to this redemption.
5. Asset Retirement Obligation
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and
recorded a loss of $11,679 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle, which is net of a tax benefit of $7,467. Prior to its adoption of
SFAS No. 143, the Company expensed these costs at the date of retirement. Also,
as of January 1, 2003, the Company recorded additions to property, plant and
equipment totaling $23,114 under the provisions of SFAS No. 143.
All of the Company's asset retirement obligations relate to the Company's

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" permits entities to recognize as 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

7. 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 June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, 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 $1,937,243 and $1,915,035,
respectively.
8. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." The calculations of basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effect
of stock options and convertible debt while diluted earnings per share includes
the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt. The number of
potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation because of their
anti-dilutive effect are 7,513,583 and 6,975,093 for three months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 and 7,035,955 and 6,941,143 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively.
9. Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS
No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities and nullified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exit an Activity." The provisions of this Statement are effective
for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with
early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107
and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34." This Interpretation elaborates
on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation
also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The
initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are
applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "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 to variable interests in variable interest entities
obtained after January 31, 2003. The application of this Interpretation is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as the
Company has no interest in variable interest entities. The Interpretation
requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31,
2003, if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose
information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes
effective.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies
financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 149 for all contracts entered into or modified after
June 30, 2003, except for certain hedging relationships designated after June
30, 2003 pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 149. The Company does not expect
adoption to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." Statement 150
affects the issuer's accounting for three types of freestanding financial
instruments. One type is mandatory redeemable shares, which the issuing company
is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type,
which includes put options and forward purchase contracts, involves instruments
that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for
cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under
this Statement is obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary
value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominately to a variable such as a
market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuers' shares.
Statement 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that
is not a derivative in its entirety. Most of the guidance in Statement 150 is
effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31,
2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. Because the Company does not have any financial
instruments covered by SFAS No. 150 outstanding, its adoption is not expected to
materially impact the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.
10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In August 2002, a jury verdict was rendered in a lawsuit filed against the
Company in the amount of $32 in compensatory damages and $2,245 in punitive
damages. As a result of the verdict, the Company recorded a $2,277 charge in its
operating expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. In May 2003, the
Court ordered a reduction to the punitive damage award, which was subject to the
plaintiff's consent. The plaintiff rejected the reduced award and the Court
ordered a new trial. Based on legal analysis, management believes the best
estimate of the Company's potential liability related to this claim is currently
$1,277. The $1,000 reduction in the reserve for this liability was recorded as a
reduction of corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2003.

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 the
risks and uncertainties described in the section of this combined report on Form
10-Q entitled "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and described in the
2002 Combined Form 10-K under the caption "Factors Affecting Future Operating
Results." You should consider carefully each of these risks and uncertainties in
evaluating the Company's and Lamar Media's financial condition and results of
operations.
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the six months and three months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
condensed 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.
Since December 31, 2000, the Company has increased the number of outdoor
advertising displays it operates by approximately 13% by completing over 225
strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising and transit assets for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $620 million, which included the
issuance of 3,680,559 shares of Lamar Advertising Company Class A common stock
valued at the time of issuance at approximately $135.7 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 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 also provides acquisition-adjusted net revenue that includes
adjustments to the 2002 results for acquisitions for the same time frame as
actually owned in 2003. The Company's management believes that this additional
information is useful in evaluating the Company's performance and provides
investors and financial analysts with a better understanding of the Company's
core operating results. In addition, it may be useful to investors when
assessing the Company's period to period results. The Company's presentation of
these measures, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used
by other companies and they should not be used as alternatives to net revenue or
other GAAP measures as indicators of the Company's performance. The Company has
provided a reconciliation of acquisition-adjusted net revenue to reported net
revenue below.
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.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
Net revenues increased $13.3 million or 3.5% to $392.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 from $379.1 million for the same period in 2002. This
increase was attributable primarily to (i) an increase in billboard net revenues
of $11.1 million or 3.1%, (ii) a $1.2 million increase in logo sign revenue,
which represents an increase of 6.4% over the prior year, and (iii) a $0.7
million increase in transit revenue, which represents a 19.9% increase over the
prior year.
The increase in billboard net revenues of $11.1 million was due to both
acquisition activity and internal growth while the increase in logo sign revenue
of $1.2 million and transit revenue growth of $0.7 million was generated by
internal growth across various markets within the logo sign and transit
programs. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to
acquisition-adjusted net revenue(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
which includes adjustments for acquisitions for the same time frame as actually
owned in 2003, increased $5.4 million or 1.4% as a result of net revenue
internal growth.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale
of assets, increased $13.8 million or 6.4% to $228.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 from $214.5 million for the same period in 2002. There was a
$14.4 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to
the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in
personnel, sign site rent, insurance costs and property taxes. This increase was
offset by a $0.6 million decrease in corporate expenses that is due to the
partial reversal of a charge related to a jury verdict rendered against the
Company discussed below.
In the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $2.3 million
related to a jury verdict rendered in August 2002 against the Company for
compensatory and punitive damages. In May, 2003, the Court ordered a reduction
to the punitive damage award, which was subject to the plaintiff's consent. The
plaintiff rejected the reduced award and the Court ordered a new trial. Based on
legal analysis, management believes the best estimate of the Company's potential
liability related to this claim is currently $1.3 million. The $1.0 million
reduction in the reserve for this liability was recorded as a reduction of
corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2003.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million or 0.4% from $136.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $137.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $0.5 million to $27.8
million for six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $28.3 million for the
same period in 2002.
In January 2003, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp.,
redeemed all of its outstanding 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 in
aggregate principal amount of approximately $255.0 million for a redemption
price equal to 103.208% of the principal amount of the notes. In the first
quarter of 2003, the Company recorded approximately $11.2 million as a loss on
extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment of the 9 5/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 and the write-off of related debt issuance costs. In
June 2003, Lamar Media Corp., redeemed $100 million in principal amount of its
8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, for a redemption price equal to
104.313% of the principal amount of the notes. In the second quarter of 2003,
the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.8 million, related
to this prepayment. Approximately $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
our 8 5/8% notes remain outstanding following this redemption.
Interest expense decreased $7.7 million from $54.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 to $46.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as a
result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt.
The decrease in operating income and the loss on extinguishment of debt offset
by the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $9.9 million
increase in loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. The increase in this loss resulted in an increase in the
income tax benefit of $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 over
the same period in 2002. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June
30, 2003 is 35.3%.
Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle, net of tax of $11.7 million.

-14-
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 of $34.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $16.5
million for the same period in 2002.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
Net revenues increased $5.7 million or 2.8% to $208.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 from $202.5 million for the same period in 2002. This
increase was attributable primarily to (i) an increase in billboard net revenues
of $4.9 million or 2.6%, (ii) a $0.6 million increase in logo sign revenue,
which represents an increase of 5.8% over the prior year, and (iii) a $0.1
million increase in transit revenue, which represents a 2.9% increase over the
prior year.
The increase in billboard net revenues of $4.9 million was due to acquisition
activity while the increase in logo sign revenue of $0.6 million and transit
revenue growth of $0.1 million was generated by internal growth across various
markets within the logo sign and transit programs. Net revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue(2)
for the three months ended June 30, 2002, which includes adjustments for
acquisitions for the same time frame as actually owned in 2003 were even.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale
of assets, increased $7.9 million or 7.5% to $113.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 from $106.0 million for the same period in 2002. There was a
$8.6 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to
the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in
personnel, sign site rent, insurance costs and property taxes. This increase was
offset by a $0.7 million decrease in corporate expenses that is due to the
partial reversal of a charge related to a jury verdict rendered against the
Company discussed below.
In the third quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $2.3 million
related to a jury verdict rendered in August 2002 against the Company for
compensatory and punitive damages. In May, 2003, the Court ordered a reduction
to the punitive damage award, which was subject to the plaintiff's consent. The
plaintiff rejected the reduced award and the Court ordered a new trial. Based on
legal analysis, management believes the best estimate of the Company's potential
liability related to this claim is currently $1.3 million. The $1.0 million
reduction in the reserve for this liability was recorded as a reduction of
corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2003.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.2 million from $69.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $69.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2003.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $1.7 million to $25.5
million for three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $27.2 million for the
same period in 2002.
In June 2003, Lamar Media Corp., redeemed $100 million in principal amount of
its 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, for a redemption price equal to
104.313% of the principal amount of the notes. In the second quarter of 2003,
the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.8 million related to
this prepayment. Approximately $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
Lamar Media's 8 5/8% notes remain outstanding following this redemption.
Interest expense decreased $4.6 million from $27.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 to $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as
a result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt.
The decrease in operating income and the loss on extinguishment of debt offset
by the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $2.9 million
increase in loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. The increase in this loss, resulted in an increase in the
income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 over
the same period in 2002. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June
30, 2003 is 20.5%.
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 of $2.2 million, as compared to a net loss of
$0.3 million for the same period in 2002.

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 its 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 net cash provided by operating activities increased to $98.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due primarily to an increase in
adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities
of $19.7 million, which primarily includes the loss on early extinguishment of
debt of $16.9 million and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle of $11.7 million offset by an increase in deferred income tax benefit
of $8.4 million. This increase was offset by an increase in net loss of $18.0
million. In addition as compared to the same period in 2002, there were
decreases in the change in receivables of $7.8 million, in other assets of $1.2
million and in other liabilities of $1.7 million, and increases in the change in
trade accounts payable of $1.1 million and in accrued expenses of $7.4 million.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $51.2 million from $89.9 million
in 2002 to $141.1 million in 2003 primarily due to the increase in merger and
acquisition activity by the Company in 2003 of $47.3 million, and a $4.7 million
increase in capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities
increased to $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due to a
$408.3 million increase in net proceeds from note offerings and new note payable
which is due to the issuance of Lamar Advertising's $287.5 million 2 7/8%
Convertible Notes and Lamar Media's issuance of $125 million 7 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes and cash from deposits for debt extinguishment of $266.7
million offset by a $337.7 million increase in principal payments of long-term
debt due primarily to the redemption of Lamar Media's 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes and 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, and a $301.2 million increase in
deposits for debt extinguishment. In addition, there was a $7.4 million decrease
in proceeds from issuance of the Company's Class A common stock, a $8.0 million
increase in debt issuance costs and a $20 million decrease in borrowings from
credit agreements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company financed its acquisition
activity of approximately $153.4 million with borrowings under Lamar Media's
revolving credit facility and available cash on hand totaling $102.8 million as
well as the issuance of 1,550,095 shares of the Company's Class A common stock
valued at the time of issuance at approximately $50.6 million. As of June 30,
2003, the Company had $179.6 million available under its revolving credit
facility.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., replaced its old bank
credit facility with a new bank credit facility on March 7, 2003. The new bank
credit facility is comprised of a $225.0 million revolving bank credit facility
and a $975.0 million term facility. The new 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.
In the future, Lamar Media has principal reduction obligations and revolver
commitment reductions under its new bank credit agreement. In addition it has
fixed commercial commitments. These commitments are detailed as follows:

* Lamar Media had $40 million outstanding at June 30, 2003.
-16-
In January 2003, Lamar Media redeemed all of its outstanding 9 5/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 in aggregate principal amount of approximately $255
million for a redemption price equal to 103.208% of the principal amount of the
notes. As a result of this redemption, the Company recorded a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million which consisted of a prepayment penalty
of $8.2 million and associated debt issuance costs of approximately $3.0
million.
On June 16, 2003, the Company issued $287.5 million of 2 7/8% Convertible Notes
due 2010. The net proceeds from the issuance of these notes, together with
additional cash, were used on July 16, 2003 to redeem all of the Company's
outstanding 5 1/4% Convertible Notes due 2006 in aggregate principle amount of
approximately $287.5 million for a redemption price equal to 103.0% of the
principle amount of the notes.
In June 2003, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., called
for redemption $100 million of its $200 million 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2007. The redemption was funded by the issuance on June 12, 2003 of a $125
million add on to its $260 million 7 1/4% Notes due 2013 issued in December
2002. The issue price of the $125 million 7 1/4% Notes was 103.661% which yields
an effective rate of 6 5/8%. The redemption price of the $100 million 8 5/8%
senior subordinated notes was equal to 104.313% of the principal amount of the
notes. As a result of this redemption, the Company recorded a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $5.8 million which consisted of a prepayment penalty
of $4.3 million and associated debt issuance costs of approximately $1.5
million.
Currently Lamar Media has outstanding approximately $100.0 million 8 5/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 and $385.0 million 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2013 issued in December 2002 and June 2003. The indentures relating to Lamar
Media's outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur indebtedness other than:
o up to $1.2 billion of indebtedness under its bank credit facility;
o currently outstanding indebtedness or debt incurred to refinance
outstanding debt;
o inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its subsidiaries or between
subsidiaries; and
o certain other debt incurred in the ordinary course of business
(provided that all of the above ranks junior in right of payment to
the notes that has a maturity or mandatory sinking fund payment prior
to the maturity of the notes).
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 June 30, 2003 and
currently Lamar Media is in compliance with all such tests.
Lamar Media cannot exceed the following financial ratios under its bank credit
facility:
o 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
o 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:
o 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
o 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
-17-
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 2003. All debt obligations are on
the Company's balance sheet.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities", ("Statement 146") which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities.
It nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The principle difference between Statement
146 and Issue 94-3 relates to the recognition of a liability for a cost
associated with an exit or disposal activity. Statement 146 requires that a
liability be recognized for those costs only when the liability is incurred,
that is, when it meets the definition of a liability in the FASB's conceptual
framework. In contrast, under Issue 94-3, a company recognized a liability for
an exit cost when it committed to an exit plan. Statement 146 also establishes
fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities related to
exit or disposal activities. The Statement is effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and did not have an impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the
provisions related to Statement No. 146 as of January 1, 2003.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107
and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34". This Interpretation elaborates
on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation
also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The
initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are
applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and did not
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "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 to variable interests in variable interest entities
obtained after January 31, 2003. The application of the Interpretation is not
expected to have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as
the Company has no variable interest entities. The Interpretation requires
certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it
is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information
about variable interest entities.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies
financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 149 for all contracts entered into or modified after
June 30, 2003, except for certain hedging relationships designated after June
30, 2003 pursuant to the guidance in SFAS No. 149. The Company does not expect
adoption to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." Statement 150
affects the issuer's accounting for three types of freestanding financial
instruments. One type is mandatory redeemable shares, which the issuing company
is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type,
which includes put options and forward purchase contracts, involves instruments
that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for
cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under
this Statement is obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary
value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominately to a variable such as a
market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuers' shares.
Statement 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that
is not a derivative in its entirety. Most of the guidance in Statement 150 is
effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31,
2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. Because the Company does not have any financial
instruments covered by SFAS No. 150 outstanding, its adoption is not expected to
materially impact the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.

LAMAR MEDIA CORP.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
Net revenues increased $13.3 million or 3.5% to $392.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 from $379.1 million for the same period in 2002. This
increase was attributable primarily to (i) an increase in billboard net revenues
of $11.1 million or 3.1%, (ii) a $1.2 million increase in logo sign revenue,
which represents an increase of 6.4% over the prior year, and (iii) a $0.7
million increase in transit revenue, which represents a 19.9% increase over the
prior year.
The increase in billboard net revenues of $11.1 million was due to both
acquisition activity and internal growth while the increase in logo sign revenue
of $1.2 million and transit revenue growth of $0.7 million was generated by
internal growth across various markets within the logo sign and transit
programs. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to
acquisition-adjusted net revenue(3) for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
which includes adjustments for acquisitions for the same time frame as actually
owned in 2003, increased $5.4 million or 1.4% as a result of net revenue
internal growth.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale
of assets, increased $13.9 million or 6.5% to $228.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 from $214.3 million for the same period in 2002. There was a
$14.4 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to
the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in
personnel, sign site rent, insurance costs and property taxes. This increase was
offset by a $0.6 million decrease in corporate expenses that is due to the
partial reversal of a charge related to a jury verdict rendered against Lamar
Advertising Company discussed below.
In the third quarter of 2002, Lamar Media recorded a charge of $2.3 million
related to a jury verdict rendered in August 2002 against Lamar Advertising
Company for compensatory and punitive damages. In May, 2003, the Court ordered a
reduction to the punitive damage award, which was subject to the plaintiff's
consent. The plaintiff rejected the reduced award and the Court ordered a new
trial. Based on legal analysis, management believes the best estimate of the
Company's potential liability related to this claim is currently $1.3 million.
The $1.0 million reduction in the reserve for this liability was recorded as a
reduction of corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2003.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $0.3 million to $29.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $30.0 million for the
same period in 2002.
In January 2003, Lamar Media redeemed all of its outstanding 9 5/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 in aggregate principal amount of approximately
$255.0 million for a redemption price equal to 103.208% of the principal amount
of the notes. In the first quarter of 2003, Lamar Media recorded approximately
$11.2 million as a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment of
the 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 and the write-off of related debt
issuance costs.
In June 2003, Lamar Media redeemed $100 million in principal amount of its
8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, for a redemption price equal to
104.313% of the principal amount of the notes. In the second quarter of 2003,
Lamar Media recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.8 million, related
to this prepayment. Approximately $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
our 8 5/8% notes remain outstanding following this redemption.
Interest expense decreased $8.0 million from $46.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 to $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as a
result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt.
The decrease in operating income, the loss on extinguishment of debt offset by
the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $9.4 million
increase in loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle. The increase in this loss, resulted in an increase in the
income tax benefit of $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 over
the same period in 2002. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June
30, 2003 is 33.9%.
Due to the adoption of SFAS 143, Lamar Media recorded a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, net of tax of $11.7 million.
As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 of $28.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $10.8
million for the same period in 2002.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
Net revenues increased $5.7 million or 2.8% to $208.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 from $202.5 million for the same period in 2002. This
increase was attributable primarily to (i) an increase in billboard net revenues
of $4.9 million or 2.6%, (ii) a $0.6 million increase in logo sign revenue,
which represents an increase of 5.8% over the prior year, and (iii) a $0.1
million increase in transit revenue, which represents a 2.9% increase over the
prior year.
The increase in billboard net revenues of $4.9 million was due to acquisition
activity while the increase in logo sign revenue of $0.6 million and transit
revenue growth of $0.1 million was generated by internal growth across various
markets within the logo sign and transit programs. Net revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue(3)
for the three months ended June 30, 2002, which includes adjustments for
acquisitions for the same time frame as actually owned in 2003 were even.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale
of assets, increased $7.8 million or 7.4% to $113.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 from $106.0 million for the same period in 2002. There was a
$8.6 million increase as a result of additional operating expenses related to
the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and increases in

Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $1.5 million to $26.5
million for three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $28.0 million for the
same period in 2002.
In June 2003, Lamar Media redeemed $100 million in principal amount of its
8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, for a redemption price equal to
104.313% of the principal amount of the notes. In the second quarter of 2003,
Lamar Media recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.8 million, related
to this prepayment. Approximately $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
our 8 5/8% notes remain outstanding following this redemption.
Interest expense decreased $5.0 million from $23.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as
a result of lower interest rates both on existing and recently refinanced debt.
The decrease in operating income and the loss on extinguishment of debt offset
by the decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $2.3 million
decrease in income before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized
net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $0.9 million, as compared

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
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 June
30, 2003.
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 June 30, 2003, there was $1,015.0 million of aggregate indebtedness
outstanding under the bank credit agreement, or approximately 56.4% of the
Company's outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable
rates. The aggregate interest expense for 2003 with respect to borrowings under
the bank credit agreement was approximately $17.9 million, and the weighted
average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during
2003 was 3.5%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis
points higher (that is 5.5% rather than 3.5%), then the Company's 2003 interest
expense would have been approximately $9.9 million higher resulting in a $6.0
million increase in the Company's 2003 net loss.
The Company has mitigated 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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
