EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company completed a corporate reorganization
to create a new holding company structure. The reorganization was accomplished
through a merger under section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
At the effective time of the merger, all stockholders of Lamar Advertising
Company became stockholders in a new holding company and Lamar Advertising
Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company. The new
holding company took the Lamar Advertising Company name and the old Lamar
Advertising Company was renamed Lamar Media Corp. In the merger, all outstanding
shares of old Lamar Advertising Company's capital stock were converted into
shares of the new holding company with the same voting powers, designations,
preferences and rights, and the same qualifications, restrictions and
limitations, as the shares of old Lamar Advertising Company. Following the
restructuring, the Class A common stock of the new holding company trades under
the symbol LAMR on the Nasdaq National Market with the same CUSIP number as the
old Lamar Advertising Company's Class A common stock.
In this annual report, Lamar, the Company, we, us and our refer to Lamar
Advertising Company and its consolidated subsidiaries with respect to periods
following the reorganization and to old Lamar Advertising Company with respect
to periods prior to the reorganization, except where we make it clear that we
are only referring to Lamar Media Corp. or a particular subsidiary.
In addition, Lamar Media and Media refer to Lamar Media Corp. and its
consolidated subsidiaries with respect to periods following the reorganization
and to old Lamar Advertising Company with respect to periods prior to the
reorganization, except where we make it clear that we are only referring to
Lamar Media Corp. or a particular subsidiary.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Lamar is one of the largest and most experienced owners and operators of outdoor
advertising structures in the United States. The Company conducts a business
that has operated under the Lamar name since 1902. As of December 31, 2001, the
Company operated over 144,000 outdoor advertising displays in 44 states. The
Company also operates the largest logo sign business in the United States. Logo
sign displays are signs located near highway exits which deliver brand name
information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. As of December
31, 2001, the Company maintained over 90,700 logo sign displays in 21 states and
the province of Ontario, Canada. The Company also operates transit advertising
displays on bus shelters, bus benches and buses in several markets.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
The Company's overall business strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor
advertising in the markets it serves. This strategy includes the following
elements:
OPERATING STRATEGY:
HIGH QUALITY LOCAL SALES AND SERVICE. Local advertising constituted
approximately 82% of the Company's net revenues in 2001, which management
believes is higher than the industry average. The Company attempts to identify
and closely monitor the needs of its customers and seeks to provide them with
quality advertising products at a lower cost than competitive media.
At December 31, 2001, the Company's 760-person sales force was supported by 147
offices. Each salesperson is compensated under a performance-based compensation
system and supervised by a sales manager executing a coordinated marketing plan.
Art departments assist local customers in the development and production of
creative, effective advertisements.
CENTRALIZED CONTROL/DECENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT. Management believes that in most
of the markets in which the Company operated at December 31, 2001, the Company
is the only outdoor advertising company offering a full complement of outdoor
advertising services coupled with local production facilities, management and
account executives. Local offices operate in defined geographic areas and
function essentially as independent business units, consistent with senior
management's philosophy that a decentralized organization is more responsive to
particular local market demands.
The Company maintains centralized accounting and financial control over its
local operations, but local managers are responsible for the day-to-day
operations in each local market and are compensated according to that market's
financial performance. Each local manager reports to one of nine regional
managers who in turn report to the Company's Chief Operating Officer.
GROWTH STRATEGY:
INTERNAL GROWTH. Within its existing markets, the Company's goal is to enhance
revenue and cash flow growth by employing highly targeted local marketing
efforts to improve display occupancy rates and by increasing advertising rates.
This strategy is facilitated through its local sales and service offices, which
allow management to respond quickly to the demands of its local customer base.
In addition, the Company routinely invests in upgrading its existing structures
and constructing new display faces in order to provide quality service to its
current customers and to attract new advertisers.
ACQUISITIONS. Growth is enhanced by focused strategic acquisitions, resulting in
increased operating efficiencies, greater geographic diversification and
increased market penetration. The Company has completed over 425 acquisitions of
outdoor advertising businesses since 1983. In addition to acquiring positions in
new markets, the Company purchases smaller outdoor advertising properties within
existing or contiguous markets. Acquisitions offer opportunities for
inter-market cross-selling and the opportunity to centralize and combine
accounting and administrative functions, thereby achieving economies of scale.
In addition, the Company leverages its reputation for high quality local sales
and service by taking advantage of opportunities to acquire high-profile
bulletin displays that may become available in larger markets. Although the
acquisition market is becoming more competitive, the Company believes there will
be opportunities for implementing the Company's acquisition strategy given the
industry's fragmentation and current consolidation trends.
3
During 2001, the Company increased the advertising displays it operates by
approximately 10% by acquiring outdoor advertising assets, including the
completion of over 100 strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising businesses
as well as isolated purchases of outdoor advertising displays. Certain of the
Company's principal acquisitions since January 1, 2001 are described below:
American Outdoor Advertising, LLC and Appalachian Outdoor Advertising
On January 1, 2001, the Company purchased the assets of two outdoor advertising
companies, American Outdoor Advertising, LLC and Appalachian Outdoor Advertising
Co., Inc. for a total cash purchase price of approximately $31.5 million and
$20.0 million, respectively.
Bowlin Outdoor Advertising and Travel Centers, Inc.
On February 1, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock
of Bowlin Outdoor Advertising and Travel Centers, Inc. for a total purchase
price of approximately $45.6 million. The purchase price consisted of
approximately $16.6 million cash and the issuance of 725,000 shares of Lamar
Advertising Company Class A common stock valued at $29.0 million.
DeLite Outdoor Advertising, LLC
On April 1, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of
DeLite Outdoor Advertising, LLC and DeLite Outdoor Advertising, Inc. for a cash
purchase price of approximately $43.0 million.
PNE Media, LLC
On April 1, 2001, the Company purchased certain assets of PNE
Media, LLC for a cash purchase price of approximately $20.9 million.
Capital Outdoor, Inc.
On August 2, 2001, the Company purchased the assets of
Capital Outdoor, Inc. for a cash purchase price of approximately $30.1 million.
LOGO SIGNS
The Company entered the business of logo sign advertising in 1988. The Company
is now the largest provider of logo sign services in the United States,
operating 21 of the 26 privatized state logo sign contracts. The Company also
operates the tourism signage contracts in seven states and the province of
Ontario, Canada.
The Company plans to pursue additional logo sign contracts, through both new
contract awards and the acquisition of other logo sign operators. Logo sign
opportunities arise periodically, both from states initiating new logo sign
programs and states converting from government owned and operated programs to
privately owned and operated programs. Furthermore, the Company plans to pursue
additional tourist oriented directional sign programs in both the U.S. and
Canada and also other motorist information signing programs as opportunities
present themselves.
TRANSIT AND OTHER
In an effort to maintain market share, the Company entered into the transit
advertising business through the operation of displays on bus shelters, benches
and buses in 41 of its outdoor advertising markets. The Company plans to
continue pursuing transit advertising opportunities that arise in its primary
markets and to expand into other markets.
4
As of December 31, 2001, the Company operated logo sign contracts in the
following states:
Colorado Kentucky Missouri Ohio
Delaware Maine Nebraska Oklahoma
Florida Michigan Nevada South Carolina
Georgia Minnesota New Jersey Texas
Kansas Mississippi New Mexico Utah
Virginia
COMPANY OPERATIONS
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
INVENTORY:
The Company operates the following types of outdoor advertising displays:
BULLETINS generally are 14 feet high and 48 feet wide (672 square feet) and
consist of panels on which advertising copy is displayed. The advertising copy
is either hand painted onto the panels at the Company's facilities in accordance
with design specifications supplied by the advertiser and attached to the
outdoor advertising structure, or printed with computer-generated graphics on a
single sheet of vinyl that is wrapped around the structure. On occasion, to
attract more attention, some of the panels may extend beyond the linear edges of
the display face and may include three-dimensional embellishments. Because of
their greater impact and higher cost, bulletins are usually located on major
highways.
STANDARDIZED POSTERS generally are 12 feet high by 25 feet wide (300 square
feet) and are the most common type of billboard. Advertising copy for these
posters consists of lithographed or silk-screened paper sheets supplied by the
advertiser that are pasted and applied like wallpaper to the face of the
display, or single sheets of vinyl with computer-generated advertising copy that
are wrapped around the structure. Standardized posters are concentrated on major
traffic arteries.
JUNIOR POSTERS usually are 6 feet high by 12 feet wide (72 square feet).
Displays are prepared and mounted in the same manner as standardized posters,
except that vinyl sheets are not typically used on junior posters. Most junior
posters, because of their smaller size, are concentrated on city streets and
target pedestrian traffic.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately 71% of the Company's outdoor
advertising net revenues were derived from bulletin sales and 29% from poster
sales. The Company regularly donates unoccupied display space for use by
charitable and civic organizations.
The physical structures are owned by the Company and are built on locations the
Company either owns or leases. In each local office one employee typically
performs site leasing activities for the markets served by that office. See Item
2. - "Properties".
Bulletin space is generally sold as individually selected displays for the
duration of the advertising contract. Bulletins may also be sold as part of a
rotary plan where advertising copy is periodically rotated from one location to
another within a particular market. Poster space is generally sold in packages
called showings, which comprise a given number of displays in a market area.
Posters provide advertisers with access either to a specified percentage of the
general population or to a specific targeted audience. Displays making up a
showing are placed in well-traveled areas and are distributed so as to reach a
wide audience in a particular market. Bulletin space is generally sold for 12
month periods. Poster space averages between 30 and 90 days.
PRODUCTION:
The Company's local production staffs in 137 of its markets perform the full
range of activities required to create and install outdoor advertising.
Production work includes creating the advertising copy design and layout,
coordinating its printing and installing the designs on displays. The Company
provides its production services to local advertisers and to advertisers that
are not represented by advertising agencies, since national advertisers
represented by advertising agencies often use preprinted designs that require
only installation. The Company's creative and production personnel typically
develop new designs or adopt copy from other media for use on billboards. The
Company's artists also often assist in the development of marketing
presentations, demonstrations and strategies to attract new advertisers.
With the increased use of vinyl and pre-printed advertising copy furnished to
the outdoor advertising company by the advertiser or its agency, outdoor
advertising companies require less labor-intensive production work. In addition,
increased use of vinyl and preprinted copy is also attracting more customers to
the outdoor advertising medium. The Company believes this trend over time
will reduce operating expenses associated with production activities.
5
CATEGORIES OF BUSINESS:
The following table sets forth the top ten categories of business from which the
Company derived its outdoor advertising revenues for 2001 and the respective
percentages of such revenue. These business categories accounted for
approximately 71% of the Company's total outdoor advertising net revenues in the
year ended December 31, 2001. No one advertiser accounted for more than 1.0% of
the Company's total outdoor advertising net revenues in that period.

LOGO SIGNS
The Company is the largest provider of logo sign services in the United States
and operates over 4,000 logo sign structures containing over 90,700 logo
advertising displays. The Company has been awarded contracts to erect and
operate logo signs in the states of Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia, and the province of Ontario,
Canada, and through a 66.7% owned partnership in the state of Missouri. In
addition, the Company has acquired the logo sign contracts in Kansas, Kentucky,
and Nevada. The Company also operates the tourism signing contracts for the
states of Colorado, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey and Ohio as well as
for the province of Ontario, Canada.
State logo sign contracts represent the contract right to erect and operate logo
signs within a state. The term of the contracts vary, but generally range from
ten to twenty years, including renewal terms. The logo sign contracts generally
provide for termination by the state prior to the end of the term of the
contract, in most cases with compensation to be paid to the Company. Typically,
at the end of the term of the contract, ownership of the structures is
transferred to the state without compensation to the Company. Of the Company's
logo sign contracts, one is due to terminate in December 2002 and one is subject
to renewal in June 2002. The Company also designs and produces logo sign plates
for its customers throughout the country as well as customers in states which
have not yet privatized their logo sign programs.
EMPLOYEES
The Company employed approximately 2,900 persons at December 31, 2001. Of these,
approximately 108 were engaged in overall management and general administration
at the Company's management headquarters and the remainder were employed in the
Company's operating offices. Of these, approximately 760 were direct sales and
marketing personnel.
The Company has 12 local offices covered by collective bargaining agreements,
consisting of billposters and construction personnel. The Company believes that
its relations with its employees, including its 106 unionized employees, are
good, and the Company has never experienced a strike or other labor dispute.
COMPETITION
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
The Company competes in each of its markets with other outdoor advertisers as
well as other media, including broadcast and cable television, radio, print
media and direct mail marketers. In addition, the Company also competes with a
wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers,
malls, airports, stadiums, movie theaters and supermarkets, as well as on taxis,
trains and buses. Advertisers compare relative costs of available media and
cost-per-thousand impressions, particularly when delivering a message to
customers with distinct demographic characteristics. In competing with other
media, outdoor advertising relies on its relative cost efficiency and its
ability to reach a broad segment of the population in a specific market or to
target a particular geographic area or population with a particular set of
demographic characteristics within that market.
The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several large
outdoor advertising and media companies with operations in multiple markets as
6
well as smaller and local companies operating a limited number of structures in
single or a few local markets. Although some consolidation has occurred over the
past few years, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America
(OAAA) as of December 31, 2001 there were approximately 1,100 companies in the
outdoor advertising industry operating approximately 600,000 outdoor displays.
In a number of its markets, the Company encounters direct competition from other
major outdoor media companies, including Infinity Broadcasting Corp. (formerly
Outdoor Systems, Inc.) and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (formerly Eller
Media) both of which may have greater total resources than the Company. The
Company believes that its strong emphasis on sales and customer service and its
position as a major provider of advertising services in each of its primary
markets enables it to compete effectively with the other outdoor advertising
companies, as well as other media, within those markets.
LOGO SIGNS
The Company faces competition in obtaining new logo sign contracts and in
bidding for renewals of expiring contracts. The Company faces competition from
three other national providers of logo signs in seeking state-awarded logo
service contracts. In addition, local companies within each of the states that
solicit bids will compete against the Company in the open-bid process.
Competition from these sources is also encountered at the end of each contract
period.
In marketing logo signs to advertisers, the Company competes with the other
forms of out-of-home advertising described above.
REGULATION
Outdoor advertising is subject to governmental regulation at the federal, state
and local levels. Federal law, principally the Highway Beautification Act of
1965 (the HBA) regulates outdoor advertising on federally aided primary and
interstate highways. The HBA requires, as a condition to federal highway
assistance, states to restrict billboards on such highways to commercial and
industrial areas, and requires certain additional size, spacing and other
limitations. All states have passed state billboard control statutes and
regulations at least as restrictive as the federal requirements, including
removal at the owner's expense and without compensation of any illegal signs on
such highways. The Company believes that the number of its billboards that may
be subject to removal as illegal is immaterial. No state in which the Company
operates has banned billboards, but some have adopted standards more restrictive
than the federal requirements. Municipal and county governments generally also
have sign controls as part of their zoning laws. Some local governments prohibit
construction of new billboards and some allow new construction only to replace
existing structures, although most allow construction of billboards subject to
restrictions on zones, size, spacing and height.
Federal law does not require removal of existing lawful billboards, but does
require payment of compensation if a state or political subdivision compels the
removal of a lawful billboard along a federally aided primary or interstate
highway. State governments have purchased and removed legal billboards for
beautification in the past, using federal funding for transportation enhancement
programs, and may do so in the future. Governmental authorities from time to
time use the power of eminent domain to remove billboards. Thus far, the Company
has been able to obtain satisfactory compensation for any of its billboards
purchased or removed as a result of governmental action, although there is no
assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future. Local
governments do not generally purchase billboards for beautification, but some
have attempted to force removal of legal but nonconforming billboards
(billboards which conformed with applicable zoning regulations when built but
which do not conform to current zoning regulations) after a period of years
under a concept called amortization, by which the governmental body asserts that
just compensation is earned by continued operation over time. Although there is
some question as to the legality of amortization under federal and many state
laws, amortization has been upheld in some instances. The Company generally has
been successful in negotiating settlements with municipalities for billboards
required to be removed. Restrictive regulations also limit the Company's ability
to rebuild or replace nonconforming billboards. The outdoor advertising industry
is heavily regulated and at various times and in various markets can be expected
to be subject to varying degrees of regulatory pressure affecting the operation
of advertising displays. Accordingly, although the Company's experience to date
is that the regulatory environment can be managed, no assurance can be given
that existing or future laws or regulations will not materially and adversely
affect the Company.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's 53,500 square foot management headquarters is located in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. The Company occupies approximately 90% of the space in this
facility and leases the remaining space. The Company owns 127 local operating
facilities with front office administration and sales office space connected to
back-shop poster and bulletin production space. In addition, the Company leases
an additional 122 operating facilities at an aggregate lease expense for 2001 of
approximately $3.8 million.
The Company owns approximately 3,000 parcels of property beneath outdoor
structures. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately 75,100 active
outdoor site leases accounting for a total annual lease expense of approximately
$121.0 million. This amount represented 17% of total outdoor advertising net
revenues for that period. The Company's leases are for varying terms ranging
from month-to-month to in some cases a term of over ten years, and many provide
the Company with renewal options. There is no significant concentration of
displays under any one lease or subject to negotiation with any one landlord.
The Company believes that an important part of its management activity is to
manage its lease portfolio and negotiate suitable lease renewals and extensions.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company from time to time is involved in litigation in the ordinary course
of business, including disputes involving advertising contracts, site leases,
employment claims and construction matters. The Company is also involved in
routine administrative and judicial proceedings regarding billboard permits,

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
Since August 2, 1996, the Company's Class A common stock has traded on the
over-the-counter market and prices have been quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol LAMR. Prior to August 2, 1996, the day on which the
Class A common stock was first publicly traded, there was no public market for
the Class A common stock. As of March 1, 2002, the Class A common stock was held
by 200 shareholders of record. The Company believes, however, that the actual
number of beneficial holders of the Class A common stock may be substantially
greater than the stated number of holders of record because a substantial
portion of the Class A common stock is held in street name.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid
prices for the Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market.

bank credit facility and other indebtedness have terms restricting the payment
of dividends. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will be
subject to such limitations, will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and will depend on the Company's results of operations, financial
condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains forward-looking statements, including in particular,
statements regarding the Company's anticipated performance in 2002. These
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, (1) the
Company's significant indebtedness; (2) the Company's need for and ability to
obtain additional funding for acquisitions or operations; (3) the integration of
companies that the Company acquires and its ability to recognize cost savings or
operating efficiencies as a result of these acquisitions; (4) the continued
popularity of outdoor advertising as an advertising medium; (5) the regulation
of the outdoor advertising industry; (6) the extent and length of the current
economic downturn generally and the demand for advertising in particular; and
(7) other factors, including those described below under the heading "Factors
Affecting Future Operating Results", and elsewhere in this Annual Report. In
addition, under SFAS No. 142, the Company will periodically test goodwill for
impairment. The Company's future reported earnings will decrease to the extent
it determines that such impairment exists. The Company cautions investors 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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In response to the SEC's Release No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding
Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies", the Company believes the
following critical accounting policies effect its significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition - As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial
Statements, the Company recognizes revenues as advertising services are
provided. Advertising revenue is recorded net of agency commissions.
Intangible Assets - The Company has significant intangible assets recorded on
its balance sheet. Intangible assets primarily represent goodwill, site
locations and customer relationships associated with the Company's acquisitions.
Site locations and customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line
method over their estimated lives ranging from five to fifteen years. Goodwill
represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the fair market
value of their identifiable net assets. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The effect will be
to eliminate the amortization expense for goodwill. As of December 31, 2001, the
Company had net unamortized goodwill of $1,138 million and the adoption of SFAS
No. 142 will decrease amortization expense, for this goodwill beginning in 2002
by approximately $91 million annually.
Accounting Estimates - Management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and
related disclosure of contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience, reasonable assumptions and where applicable, established
valuation techniques. Specifically, management has made critical estimates in
the following areas:
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company maintains allowances for
doubtful accounts based on the payment patterns of its customers.
Management analyzes historical results, the economic environment, changes
in the credit worthiness of its customers, and other relevant factors in
determining the adequacy of the Company's allowance.
Long Lived Asset Recovery - Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of
property, plant and equipment and intangibles comprise a significant
portion of the Company's total assets. Long-lived assets, including
goodwill and intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances have indicated that their carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be
generated by that asset. The cash flow projections are based on historical
experience, managements view of growth rates within the industry and the
anticipated future economic environment. Cash flow models are also used to
calculate intangible asset values from acquisition activity.
Deferred Taxes - As of December 31, 2001, the Company has made the
determination that its deferred tax assets, the primary component of which
is the Company's net operating loss carryforward, are fully realizable due
to the existence of certain deferred tax liabilities that are anticipated
to reverse during the carryforward period. Accordingly, the Company has
not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets.
Should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or
part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the
deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such
determination was made.

LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000
and 1999. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and the related notes.
OVERVIEW
The Company's net revenues, which represent gross revenues less commissions paid
to advertising agencies that contract for the use of advertising displays on
behalf of advertisers, are derived primarily from the sale of advertising on
outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company.
The Company has grown significantly during the last three years, primarily as
the result of (i) internal growth in its existing outdoor advertising business,
(ii) acquisitions of outdoor advertising businesses and structures, and (iii)
the expansion of the Company's logo sign business. The Company's net advertising
revenues increased by $284.9 million from $444.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 to $729.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001,
representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 28%. During the same
period, EBITDA increased $119.8 million from $206.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 to $326.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001,
representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 26%.
The Company plans to continue a strategy of expanding through both internal
growth and acquisitions. 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. All recent acquisitions have been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting and, consequently, operating results
from acquired operations are included from the respective dates of those
acquisitions.
Since December 31, 2000, the Company has increased the number of outdoor
advertising displays it operates by approximately 10% by completing over 100
strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising and transit assets for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $331 million which included the
issuance of 725,000 shares of Class A common stock valued at approximately $29
million. The Company has financed its recent acquisitions and intends to finance
its 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.
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. Capitalized
expenditures were $77.2 million in 1999, $78.3 million in 2000 and $85.3 million
in 2001. The following table presents a breakdown of capitalized expenditures
for the past three years:

The following table presents certain items in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations as a percentage of net revenues for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999:

(1) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization and gain or loss on disposition of assets. It represents a measure
which management believes is customarily used to evaluate the financial
performance of companies in the media industry. However, EBITDA is not a measure
of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to
operating income or net earnings as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of its
liquidity.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
Total revenues increased $41.7 million or 6.1% to $729.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2001 from $687.3 million for the same period in 2000. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $43.4 million or 6.7%, (ii) a $2.7 million increase in logo sign
revenue, which represents a 8.2% increase over the prior year, and (iii) offset
by at $2.6 million decrease in transit revenue.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on
disposition of assets, increased $47.0 million or 13.2% to $402.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2001 from $355.5 million for the same period in
2000. This increase is primarily due to additional operating expenses associated
with acquisitions made in 2001 and 2000 and increases in personnel, sign site
rent, materials and overhead.
EBITDA decreased $5.3 million or 2% to $326.5 million for the year ended
December 2001 from $331.8 million for the same period in 2000.
For year 2001 same store net revenue and EBITDA declined 1.8% and 8.2%
respectively over year 2000 results. Same store is defined by the Company as
outdoor markets owned and operated for twelve months or longer. The decline in
same store net revenue and EBITDA was due primarily to adverse economic
conditions in 2001. Advertisers spent less for product promotion during 2001
which resulted in fewer billboard units being sold over the previous year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $37.4 million or 11.8% from
$318.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $355.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from the Company's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $42.8 million or 291.4%
from $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to a $28.1 million
operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Interest expense decreased $20.7 million from $147.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 to $126.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as a
result of declining interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2001 over the
same period in 2000.
The decrease in operating income offset by the decrease in interest expense
described above resulted in a $23.1 million increase in loss before income
taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle.
The increase in loss before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the income
tax benefit of $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 over the same
period in 2000. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2001 is
29.6% which is less than the statutory rates due to permanent difference
resulting from non-deductible amortization of goodwill.
13
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2001 of $108.6 million, as compared to a net loss of
$94.1 million for the same period in 2000.
The Company currently anticipates difficult economic conditions to continue for
at least the first two quarters of 2002. The guidance provided by the Company
for the first quarter of 2002 translates into a same store decline in net
revenue and EBITDA of approximately 4% and 13% respectively.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
Total revenues increased $243.2 million or 54.8% to $687.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000 from $444.1 million for the same period in 1999. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $234.7 million or 56.9%, which was attributable to the Company's
acquisitions during 2000 and 1999 and internal growth within the Company's
previously existing markets, and (ii) a $4.6 million increase in logo sign
revenue, which represents a 16.5% increase over the prior year. The increase in
logo sign revenue was due to the completion of development of the new logo sign
contracts awarded in 2000 and 1999 and the continued expansion of the Company's
existing logo sign contracts.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on
disposition of asset, increased $118.0 million or 49.7% to $355.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000 from $237.5 million for the same period in
1999. This increase was the result of (i) an increase in personnel costs, sign
site rent and other costs related to the increase in revenue and (ii)
additional operating expenses related to the Company's recent acquisitions and
the continued development of the logo sign business.
EBITDA increased $125.1 million or 61% to $331.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from $206.7 million for the same period in 1999.
For year 2000 same store net revenue and EBITDA increased 9.0% and 14.0%
respectively over year 1999 results. Same store is defined by the Company as
outdoor markets owned and operated for twelve months or longer. This increase
was primarily due to strong local advertising demand for the Company's billboard
inventory.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $141.0 million or 79.6% from
$177.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $318.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from the Company's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $20.3 million or 58.0% from
$35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $14.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000.
Interest expense increased $58.0 million from $89.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 to $147.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a
result of an entire year of interest expense related to the Company's 5 1/4%
Convertible Notes due 2006 issued in August 1999, greater amounts outstanding
under the bank credit agreement to finance recent acquisitions and an increase
in interest rates during the period.
The decrease in operating income and the increase in interest expense described
above resulted in a $78.0 million increase in loss before income taxes,
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The increase in loss before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the income
tax benefit of $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 over the same
period in 1999.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2000 of $94.1 million, as compared to a net loss of
$44.5 million for the same period in 1999.
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 acquisitions have been financed primarily with funds borrowed under
its bank credit facility and issuance of its Class A common stock and debt
securities.
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased to $190.6
million in fiscal 2001 due primarily to an increase in noncash items of $29.9
million, which includes an increase in depreciation and amortization of $37.4
million offset by a increase in deferred tax benefit of $9.4 million and an
increase in the provision for doubtful accounts of $1.8 million as a result of
an increase in bad debt expense of the same amount. There was also an increase
in net loss of $14.5 million, a decrease in receivables of $3.8 million which
represents a 4% increase while actual net revenues increased $41.7 million or 6%
as compared to the prior period. In addition, there was a decrease in other
assets of $1.9 million, an increase in trade accounts payable of $1.7 million, a
decrease in
14
accrued expenses of $10.5 million primarily due to the $5.0 million reduction
in bonuses paid to management in 2001, and an increase in deferred income of
$0.8 million. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $53.1 million from
$435.6 million in 2000 to $382.5 million in 2001 primarily due to the decrease
in merger and acquisition activity by the Company in the second half of 2001
that was caused by the worsening economy and the September 11 attacks. There was
also a $7.0 million increase in capital expenditures, offset by an increase in
proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $2.1 million. Net cash
provided by financing activities decreased $189.5 million in fiscal 2001 due to
a $144.7 million decrease in proceeds from issuance of Class A common stock
offset by a $16 million increase in borrowings from credit agreements. There was
also a $61.7 million increase in principal payments of long-term debt due
primarily to the principal payments required under the Company's bank credit
agreement.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company financed its acquisition
activity of approximately $331.1 million with approximately $56.0 million
remaining from the Company's equity offering in November 2000, borrowings under
the Company's bank credit agreement and the issuance of approximately 725,000
shares of Class A common stock. The first principal payments of approximately
$61.5 million under the Company's bank credit agreement became due during the
second half of 2001. Amortization of principal continues in 2002 and until 2006
when the facility is fully repaid. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $210
million available under the revolving bank credit facility. Subsequent to year
end, on January 11, 2002 the Company activated $200 million in new borrowings
under the incremental facility of its bank credit agreement. The proceeds were
used to reduce the balance of the revolving bank credit facility balance by $160
million and approximately $10 million was used for operations resulting in
excess cash on hand of $30 million. Also on January 30, 2002, JPMorgan Chase
issued a standby letter of credit of approximately $3.2 million to benefit
American Casualty Insurance Company, the provider of the Company's general
liability and workman's compensation coverage. This issuance reduces the
Company's availability under its revolving credit facility. After these
transactions, availability under the revolving bank credit facility was
approximately $347 million.
In the future the Company has principal reduction obligations and revolver
commitment reductions under its bank credit agreement. In addition it has fixed
commercial commitments. These commitments are detailed as follows:

The publicly issued Senior Subordinated 1996 and 1997 Notes are redeemable at
the Company's option at any time on or after December 31, 2001 and September 15,
2002, respectively, at redemption prices specified by the indentures, and are
required to be repurchased earlier in the event of a change of control of the
Company. The indentures covering the 1996 and 1997 Notes include certain
restrictive covenants which limit the Company's ability to incur additional
debt, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, consummate certain
transactions and other matters.
The Company is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under
its bank credit agreement. If the Company fails to comply with certain tests,
the payments as exhibited in the above table may be accelerated. At December 31,
2001 and currently the Company is in compliance with all such tests.
15
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 2002. All debt obligations are on
the Company's balance sheet.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets
with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". The adoption of SFAS No.
141 as of July 1, 2001 had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective
January 1, 2002. Furthermore, goodwill and intangible assets determined to have
an indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase business combination completed
after June 30, 2001, but before SFAS No. 142 is adopted in full was not
amortized but continues to be evaluated for impairment in accordance with the
appropriate pre-Statement 142 literature. As of December 31, 2001, the Company
had unamortized goodwill of approximately $1.1 billion which will be subject to
the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142. In accordance with the transitional
provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001 any goodwill resulting from
acquisitions closed after July 1, 2001 was not amortized.
In August, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of
the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued
operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either
has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or
is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002.
LAMAR MEDIA CORP.
On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company completed a corporate reorganization
to create a new holding company structure. The reorganization was accomplished
through a merger under section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
At the effective time of the merger, all stockholders of Lamar Advertising
Company became stockholders in a new holding company and Lamar Advertising
Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company. The new
holding company took the Lamar Advertising Company name and the old Lamar
Advertising Company was renamed Lamar Media Corp. In the merger, all outstanding
shares of old Lamar Advertising Company's capital stock were converted into
shares of the new holding company with the same voting powers, designations,
preferences and rights, and the same qualifications, restrictions and
limitations, as the shares of old Lamar Advertising Company.
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of Lamar Media for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000
and 1999. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
Total revenues increased $41.7 million or 6.1% to $729.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2001 from $687.3 million for the same period in 2000. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $43.4 million or 6.7%, which was generated by acquisitions during
2001 and 2000, and (ii) a $2.7 million increase in logo sign revenue, which
represents a 8.2% increase over the prior year, and (iii) offset by at $2.6
million decrease in transit revenue.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on
disposition of assets, increased $47.5 million or 13.4% to $402.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2001 from $354.8 million for the same period in
2000. This increase is primarily due to additional operating expenses associated
with acquisitions made in 2001 and 2000 and increases in personnel, sign site
rent, materials and overhead.
16
EBITDA decreased $5.8 million or 2% to $326.8 million for the year ended
December 2001 from $332.6 million for the same period in 2000.
For year 2001 same store net revenue and EBITDA declined 1.8% and 8.2%
respectively over year 2000 results. Same store is defined by the Company as
outdoor markets owned and operated for twelve months or longer. The decline in
same store net revenue and EBITDA was due primarily to adverse economic
conditions in 2001. Advertisers spent less for product promotion during 2001
which resulted in fewer billboard units being sold over the previous year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $36.3 million or 11.5% from
$315.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $351.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from Lamar Media's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $42.1 million or 232.6%
from $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to a $24.0 million
operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Interest expense decreased $34.6 million from $147.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 to $113.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as a
result of declining interest rates for the twelve months ending December 31,
2001 over the same period in 2000.
The decrease in operating income offset by the decrease in interest expense
described above resulted in a $8.6 million increase in loss before income taxes,
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The increase in loss before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the income
tax benefit of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 over the same
period in 2000. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2001 is
28.4% which is less than the statutory rates due to the permanent differences
resulting from nondeductible amortization of goodwill.
As a result of the foregoing factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2001 of $97.6 million, as compared to a net loss of
$91.9 million for the same period in 2000.
The Company currently anticipates difficult economic conditions to continue for
at least the first two quarters of 2002. The guidance provided by the Company
for the first quarter of 2002 translates into a same store decline in net
revenue and EBITDA of approximately 4% and 13% respectively.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
Total revenues increased $243.2 million or 54.8% to $687.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000 from $444.1 million for the same period in 1999. This
increase was predominantly attributable to (i) an increase in billboard net
revenues of $234.7 million or 56.9%, which was attributable to Lamar Media's
acquisitions during 2000 and 1999 and internal growth within Lamar Media's
previously existing markets, and (ii) a $4.6 million increase in logo sign
revenue, which represents a 16.5% increase over the prior year. The increase in
logo sign revenue was due to the completion of development of the new logo sign
contracts awarded in 2000 and 1999 and the continued expansion of Lamar Media's
existing logo sign contracts.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on
disposition of assets, increased $117.4 million or 49.5% to $354.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000 from $237.4 million for the same period in
1999. This increase was the result of (i) an increase in personnel costs, sign
site rent and other costs related to the increase in revenue and (ii)
additional operating expenses related to Lamar Media's recent acquisitions and
the continued development of the logo sign business.
EBITDA increased $125.8 million or 61% to $332.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from $206.8 million for the same period in 1999.
For year 2000 same store net revenue and EBITDA increased 9.0% and 14.0%
respectively over year 1999 results. Same store is defined by the Company as
outdoor markets owned and operated for twelve months or longer. This increase
was primarily due to strong local advertising demand for the Company's billboard
inventory.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $139.3 million or 79.0% from
$176.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $315.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of an increase in capital assets
resulting from Lamar Media's recent acquisition activity.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased $17.9 million or 49.7% from
$36.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $18.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000.
17
Interest expense increased $58.0 million from $89.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 to $147.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a
result of interest expense on Lamar Media's obligation to Lamar Advertising
Company and greater amounts outstanding under the new bank credit agreement to
finance recent acquisitions.
The decrease in operating income and the increase in interest expense described
above resulted in a $75.6 million increase in loss before income taxes,
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The increase in loss before income taxes, resulted in an increase in the income
tax benefit of $26.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 over the same
period in 1999.
As a result of the foregoing factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2000 of $91.9 million, as compared to a net loss of
$43.9 million for the same period in 1999.
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS SIGNIFICANT FIXED PAYMENTS ON IT'S DEBT, IT MAY LACK
SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW TO OPERATE ITS BUSINESS AS IT HAS IN THE PAST AND MAY NEED
TO BORROW MONEY IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE THESE PAYMENTS AND OPERATE ITS BUSINESS.
The Company has borrowed substantial amounts of money in the past and may borrow
more money in the future. At December 31, 2001, Lamar Advertising Company had
approximately $287.5 million of convertible notes outstanding. At December 31,
2001, Lamar Media had approximately $1.5 billion of debt outstanding consisting
of approximately $979 million in bank debt, $538 million in various series of
senior subordinated notes and $7 million in various other short-term and
long-term debt.
A large part of the Company's cash flow from operations must be used to make
principal and interest payments on its debt. If the Company's operations make
less money in the future, it may need to borrow to make these payments. In
addition, the Company finances most of its acquisitions through borrowings under
Lamar Media's bank credit facility which as of December 31, 2001 had a total
committed amount of $1.19 billion in term, incremental and revolving credit
loans. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $210 million
available to borrow under this credit facility. Since its borrowing capacity
under its credit facility is limited, the Company may not be able to continue to
finance future acquisitions at its historical rate with borrowings under its
credit facility. The Company may need to borrow additional amounts or seek other
sources of financing to fund future acquisitions. The Company cannot guarantee
that such additional financing will be available on favorable terms. The Company
may need the consent of the banks under its credit facility, or the holders of
other indebtedness, to borrow additional money.
RESTRICTIONS IN THE COMPANY'S, AND ITS WHOLLY-OWNED, DIRECT SUBSIDIARY, LAMAR
MEDIA'S DEBT AGREEMENTS REDUCE OPERATING FLEXIBILITY AND CONTAIN COVENANTS AND
RESTRICTIONS THAT CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR DEFAULTS.
The terms of the indenture relating to Lamar Advertising's outstanding notes,
Lamar Media's bank credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media's
outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising
and Lamar Media to:
- dispose of assets;
- incur or repay debt;
- create liens;
- make investments; and
- pay dividends.
Lamar Media's ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also
restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media's bank credit
facility the Company must maintain specified financial ratios and levels
including:
- interest coverage;
- fixed charges ratios;
- senior debt ratios; and
- total debt ratios.
If Lamar Advertising fails to comply with these tests, the lenders have the
right to cause all amounts outstanding under the bank credit facility to become
immediately due. If this were to occur, and the lenders decide to exercise their
right to accelerate the indebtedness, it would create serious financial problems
for the Company. The Company's ability to comply with these restrictions, and
any similar restrictions in future agreements, depends on its operating
performance. Because its performance is subject to prevailing economic,
financial and business conditions and other factors that are beyond the
Company's control, it may be unable to comply with these restrictions in the
future.
18
THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS COULD BE HURT BY CHANGES IN ECONOMIC AND ADVERTISING
TRENDS.
The Company sells advertising space to generate revenues. A decrease in demand
for advertising space could adversely affect the Company's business. General
economic conditions and trends in the advertising industry affect the amount of
advertising space purchased. A reduction in money spent on its displays could
result from:
- a general decline in economic conditions;
- a decline in economic conditions in particular markets where the
Company conducts business;
- a reallocation of advertising expenditures to other available media
by significant users of the Company's displays; or
- a decline in the amount spent on advertising in general.
THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS ARE IMPACTED BY THE REGULATION OF OUTDOOR ADVERTISING.
The Company's operations are significantly impacted by federal, state and local
government regulation of the outdoor advertising business.
The federal government conditions federal highway assistance on states imposing
location restrictions on the placement of billboards on primary and interstate
highways. Federal laws also impose size, spacing and other limitations on
billboards. Some states have adopted standards more restrictive than the federal
requirements. Local governments generally control billboards as part of their
zoning regulations. Some local governments have enacted ordinances which require
removal of billboards by a future date. Others prohibit the construction of new
billboards and the reconstruction of significantly damaged billboards, or allow
new construction only to replace existing structures.
Local laws which mandate removal of billboards at a future date often do not
provide for payment to the owner for the loss of structures that are required to
be removed. Some federal and state laws require payment of compensation in such
circumstances. Local laws that require the removal of a billboard without
compensation have been challenged in state and federal courts with conflicting
results. Accordingly, the Company may not be successful in negotiating
acceptable arrangements when the Company's displays have been subject to removal
under these types of local laws.
Additional regulations may be imposed on outdoor advertising in the future.
Legislation regulating the content of billboard advertisements has been
introduced in Congress from time to time in the past. Additional regulations or
changes in the current laws regulating and affecting outdoor advertising at the
federal, state or local level may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.
THE COMPANY'S CONTINUED GROWTH BY ACQUISITIONS MAY BECOME MORE DIFFICULT AND
INVOLVES COSTS AND UNCERTAINTIES.
The Company has substantially increased its inventory of advertising displays
through acquisitions. The Company's operating strategy involves making purchases
in markets where it currently competes as well as in new markets. However, the
following factors may affect the Company's ability to continue to pursue this
strategy effectively.
- The outdoor advertising market has been consolidating, and this may
adversely affect the Company's ability to find suitable candidates
for purchase.
- The Company is also likely to face increased competition from other
outdoor advertising companies for the companies or assets it wishes
to purchase. Increased competition may lead to higher prices for
outdoor advertising companies and assets and decrease those it is
able to purchase.
- The Company does not know if it will have sufficient capital
resources to make purchases, obtain any required consents from the
Company's lenders, or find acquisition opportunities with acceptable
terms.
- The Company must integrate newly acquired assets into its existing
operations. From January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001, the Company
completed over 100 transactions involving the purchase of
complementary outdoor advertising assets. The process of integrating
these acquisitions may result in unforeseen difficulties and could
require significant time and attention from Lamar's management that
would otherwise be directed at developing its existing business.
Further, Lamar cannot be certain that the benefits and cost savings
that it anticipates from these purchases will develop.
19
THE COMPANY FACES COMPETITION FROM LARGER AND MORE DIVERSIFIED OUTDOOR
ADVERTISERS AND OTHER FORMS OF ADVERTISING THAT COULD HURT ITS PERFORMANCE.
The Company cannot be sure that in the future it will compete successfully
against the current and future forms of outdoor advertising and other media. The
competitive pressure that it faces could adversely affect its profitability or
financial performance. Although Lamar Advertising is the largest company
focusing exclusively on outdoor advertising, it faces competition from larger
companies with more diversified operations that also include radio and other
broadcast media. The Company also faces competition from other forms of media,
including television, radio, newspapers and direct mail advertising. It must
also compete with an increasing variety of other out-of-home advertising media
that include advertising displays in shopping centers, malls, airports,
stadiums, movie theaters and supermarkets, and on taxis, trains and buses.
In the Company's logo sign business, it currently faces competition for
state-awarded service contracts from two other logo sign providers as well as
local companies. Initially, the Company competed for state-awarded service
contracts as they are privatized. Because these contracts expire after a limited
time, the Company must compete to keep its existing contracts each time they are
up for renewal.
IF THE COMPANY'S CONTINGENCY PLANS RELATING TO HURRICANES FAIL, THE RESULTING
LOSSES COULD HURT THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.
Although the Company has developed contingency plans designed to deal with the
threat posed to advertising structures by hurricanes, it cannot guarantee that
these plans will work. If these plans fail, significant losses could result.
A significant portion of its structures is located in the Mid-Atlantic and Gulf
Coast regions of the United States. These areas are highly susceptible to
hurricanes during the late summer and early fall. In the past, the Company has
incurred significant losses due to severe storms. These losses resulted from
structural damage, overtime compensation, loss of billboards that could not be
replaced under applicable laws and reduced occupancy because billboards were out
of service.
The Company has determined that it is not economical to obtain insurance against
losses from hurricanes and other storms. Instead, the Company has developed
contingency plans to deal with the threat of hurricanes. For example, the
Company attempts to remove the advertising faces on billboards at the onset of a
storm, when possible, which permits the structures to better withstand high
winds during a storm. The Company then replaces these advertising faces after
the storm has passed. However, these plans may not be effective in the future
and, if they are not, significant losses may result.
THE COMPANY'S LOGO SIGN CONTRACTS ARE SUBJECT TO STATE AWARD AND RENEWAL.
A portion of the Company's revenues and operating income come from its
state-awarded service contracts for logo signs. The Company cannot predict what
remaining states, if any, will start logo sign programs or convert state-run
logo sign programs to privately operated programs. The Company competes with
other parties for new state-awarded service contracts for logo signs. Even when
it is awarded such a contract, the award may be challenged under state contract
bidding requirements. If an award is challenged, the Company may incur delays
and litigation costs.
Generally, state-awarded logo sign contracts have a term, including renewal
options, of ten to twenty years. Some states have the right to terminate a
contract early, but in most cases must pay compensation to the logo sign
provider for early termination. Typically, at the end of the term of the
contract, ownership of the structures is transferred to the state without
compensation to the logo sign provider. Of the Company's 21 logo sign contracts
in place at December 31, 2001, one remains subject to renewal in June 2002 and
one is scheduled to terminate in December 2002. There is no guarantee that the
Company will be able to obtain new logo sign contracts or renew its existing
contracts. In addition, after a new state-awarded logo contract is received, the
Company generally incurs significant start-up costs. The Company cannot
guarantee that it will continue to have access to the capital necessary to
finance those costs.
THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS COULD BE AFFECTED BY THE LOSS OF KEY EXECUTIVES.
The Company's success depends to a significant extent upon the continued
services of its executive officers and other key management and sales personnel.
Although the Company has designed it's incentive and compensation programs to
retain key employees, the Company has no employment contracts with any employees
and none of the executive officers have signed non-compete agreements. The
Company does not maintain key man insurance on its executives. If any of the
Company's executive officers or other key management and sales personnel stopped
working with the Company in the future, it could have an adverse effect on its
business.
INFLATION
In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company.
20
SEASONALITY
The Company's revenues and operating results have exhibited some degree of
seasonality in past periods. Typically, the Company experiences its strongest
financial performance in the summer and fall and its lowest in the first quarter
of the calendar year. The Company expects this trend to continue in the future.
Because a significant portion of the Company's expenses is fixed, a reduction in
revenues in any quarter is likely to result in a period to period decline in
operating performance and net earnings.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY AND LAMAR MEDIA CORP.
Lamar Advertising Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with
variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary Lamar Media
Corp. The information below summarizes the Company's interest rate risk
associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at
December 31, 2001, and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 and after
tax cash flow.
At December 31, 2001, there was approximately $979 million of aggregate
indebtedness outstanding under the bank credit agreement, or approximately 56.1%
of the Company's outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at
variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for 2001 with respect to
borrowings under the bank credit agreement was $61.0 million, and the weighted
average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during
2001 was 6.5%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis
points higher (that is 8.5% rather than 6.5%), then the Company's 2001 interest
expense would have been approximately $19.7 million higher resulting in a $12.0
million increase in the Company's 2001 net loss and decrease in the Company's
after tax cash flow.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Lamar Advertising Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lamar
Advertising Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
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 Lamar Advertising
Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for the costs of start-up activities in 1999.
As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July
1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations", and certain provisions of
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", as required for goodwill
and intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after
June 30, 2001.

LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Nature of Business
Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) is engaged in the outdoor
advertising business operating over 144,000 outdoor advertising
displays in 44 states. The Company's operating strategy is to be the
leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it
serves.
In addition, the Company operates a logo sign business in 21 states
throughout the United States and in 1 province of Canada. Logo signs
are erected pursuant to state-awarded service contracts on public
rights-of-way near highway exits and deliver brand name information
on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. Included in
the Company's logo sign business are tourism signing contracts.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Lamar
Advertising Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp.
(Lamar Media), and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
calculated using accelerated and straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
(d) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting primarily of goodwill, site locations,
customer lists and contracts, and non-competition agreements are
amortized using the straight-line method over the assets estimated
useful lives, generally from 5 to 15 years.
Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the
related credit facilities using the interest method.
(e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS No. 121 requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell.
The Company assesses the recoverability of enterprise level goodwill
by determining whether the unamortized goodwill balance can be
recovered through undiscounted future results of the Company's
operations. The amount of enterprise-level goodwill impairment, if
any, is measured based on projected discounted future results using
a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds.
(f) Deferred Income
Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue received
in advance and gains resulting from the sale of certain assets to
related parties. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in
income as services are provided over the term of the contract.
Deferred gains are recognized in income in the consolidated
financial statements at the time the assets are sold to an unrelated
party or otherwise disposed of.
(g) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from outdoor and logo sign
advertising contracts, net of agency commissions, on an accrual
basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as advertising
services are provided.

LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(h) Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
(i) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share". The calculation of basic earnings per share
excludes 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 6,834,065 and 6,807,708 and 3,017,724 for
the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
(j) Stock Option Plan
The Company accounts for its stock option plan 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", 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 Company has elected to continue to apply the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.
(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(l) Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously
reported net loss.
(m) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(2) Acquisitions

In November 1996, the Company issued $255,000 in principal amount of 9 5/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the 1996 Notes), with interest payable
semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 1996 Notes are senior
subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right
of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Company, pari passu with the 1997
Notes (as defined below), and are senior to all existing and future subordinated
indebtedness of the Company.
In September 1997, the Company issued $200,000 in principal amount of 8 5/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the 1997 Notes) with interest payable
semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing March 15,
1998. The 1997 Notes were issued at a discount for $198,676. The Company is
using the effective interest method to recognize the discount over the life of
the 1997 Notes. The 1997 Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of
the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the
Company, pari passu with the 1996 Notes and are senior to all existing and
future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
The 1996 and 1997 Notes are redeemable at the Company's option at any time on or
after December 31, 2001 and September 15, 2002, respectively, at redemption
prices specified by the indentures, and are required to be repurchased earlier
in the event of a change of control of the Company. The indentures covering the
1996 and 1997 Notes include certain restrictive covenants which limit the
Company's ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make other
restricted payments, consummate certain transactions and other matters.
The Company has a bank credit agreement under which the JPMorgan Chase Bank
serves as administrative agent. The $1,000,000 bank credit agreement consists of
(1) a $350,000 revolving bank credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility)
and (2) a $650,000 term facility with two tranches, a $450,000 Term A facility
and a $200,000 Term B facility. In addition, the bank credit agreement provided
for an uncommitted $400,000 incremental facility available at the discretion of
the lenders. In June 2000, the incremental loan agreement was finalized with its
lenders and commitments for $250,000 of the previously uncommitted $400,000 were
obtained. The incremental facility consists of (1) $20,000 Series A-1 facility,
(2) $130,000 Series A-2 facility and (3) a $100,000 Series B-1 facility.
Proceeds of this facility were used to pay down the revolving bank credit
facility. As a result of the holding company reorganization completed on July
20, 1999 and explained in footnote 11, the credit agreement is an obligation of
Lamar Media Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company. As of
December 31, 2001, the Company had borrowings under this agreement of $978,500.

Revolving credit loans may be requested under the Revolving Credit Facility at
any time prior to maturity. The loans bear interest, at the Company's option, at
the LIBOR Rate or JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate plus applicable margins, such
margins being set from time to time based on the Company's ratio of debt to
trailing twelve month EBITDA, as defined in the agreement. The terms of the
indenture relating to Lamar Advertising's outstanding notes, Lamar Media's bank
credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media's outstanding notes
restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media
to:
- dispose of assets;
- incur or repay debt;
- create liens;
- make investments; and
- pay dividends.
Lamar Media's ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also
restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media's credit
facility the Company must maintain specified financial ratios and levels
including:
- interest coverage;
- fixed charges ratios;
- senior debt ratios; and
- total debt ratios.
On August 10, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company, the new holding company,
completed an offering of $287,500 5 1/4% Convertible Notes due 2006. The net
proceeds of approximately $279,594 of the convertible notes were used to pay
down existing bank debt.

In connection with the reorganization of Lamar Advertising Company into a new
holding company structure, Lamar Media Corp. (formerly known as Lamar
Advertising Company) made a change of control tender offer to the holders of its
9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 in aggregate principal amount of
approximately $103,900. Pursuant to the change of control tender offer and in
accordance with the Indenture, Lamar Media Corp. offered to repurchase the Notes
for 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. A total of $29,876
aggregate principal amount of Notes were tendered for payment on August 19,
1999, and the related 1% prepayment penalty is reflected as an extraordinary
item in the Company's statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999.
The Company's obligations with respect to its publicly issued notes are not
guaranteed by the Company's direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Certain obligations of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp.
are guaranteed by its subsidiaries.
Effective January 30, 2001, Lamar Media Corp. and its subsidiaries entered into
an amendment to its bank credit agreement for the purposes of increasing
Incremental Loan Commitments from $400,000 to $1,000,000, and affording Lamar
Media Corp. and Lamar Advertising Company more flexibility in incurring debt.
The Total Debt Ratio, previously measured at the Lamar Advertising Company
level, is now measured at the Lamar Media Corp. level with the result that the
5-1/4% Convertible Notes will be excluded from this ratio. The loan documents
were amended further to permit Lamar Advertising Company to incur additional
debt which is no more restrictive than the high-yield debt currently
outstanding. In connection with these changes, the note receivable and note
payable of equal amounts between Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media, its
wholly-owned subsidiary, were cancelled. The cancellation of the note of
$287,500 was treated as capital contributed by parent on Lamar Media's balance
sheet effective January 30, 2001.

Net deferred tax liability $ (118,837) (140,452)
========= =========
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections
for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are
deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will
realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred
tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if
estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

(11) Stockholders' Equity
On July 16, 1999, the Board of Directors amended the preferred stock of the
Company by designating 5,720 shares of the 1,000,000 shares of previously
undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001 as Series AA preferred stock. The
previously issued Class A preferred stock par value $638 was exchanged for the
new Series AA preferred stock. The new Series AA preferred stock have the same
liquidation preferences, dividends and other rights as the previously issued
Class A preferred stock. Series AA preferred stock has a liquidation preference
over Class A & B common stock. Liquidation value of the Series AA preferred
stock at December 31, 2001 was $3,649. The new shares of Series AA preferred
stock, however, are entitled to one vote per share.
The rights of the Class A and Class B common stock are equal in all respects,
except holders of Class B common stock have ten votes per share on all matters
in which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote and holders of Class A
common stock have one vote per share on such matters. The Class B common stock
will convert automatically into Class A common stock upon the sale or transfer
to persons other than permitted transferees (as defined in the Company's
certificate of incorporation, as amended).
On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company completed a corporate reorganization
to create a new holding company structure. The reorganization was accomplished
through a merger under section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
At the effective time of the merger, all stockholders of Lamar Advertising
Company became stockholders in a new holding company and Lamar Advertising
Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company. The new
holding company took the Lamar Advertising Company name and the old Lamar
Advertising Company was renamed Lamar Media Corp. In the merger, all outstanding
shares of old Lamar Advertising Company's capital stock were converted into
shares of the new holding company with the same voting powers, designations,
preferences and rights, and the same qualifications, restrictions and
limitations, as the shares of old Lamar Advertising Company. Following the
restructuring, the Class A common stock of the new holding company trades under
the symbol LAMR on the Nasdaq National Market with the same CUSIP number as the
old Lamar Advertising Company's Class A common stock.
On May 25, 2000, the stockholders approved a resolution to amend the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares of Class A common stock from 125,000,000 shares to 175,000,000 shares
which increased the total authorized capital stock from 163,510,000 shares to
213,510,000 shares.
On May 25, 2000, the stockholders approved the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
whereby 500,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock have been reserved
for issuance under the Plan. Under this plan, eligible employees may purchase
stock at 85% of the fair market value of a share on the offering commencement
date or the respective purchase date whichever is lower. Purchases are limited
to ten percent of an employee's total compensation. The initial offering under
the Plan commenced on April 1, 2000 with a single purchase date on June 30,
2000. Subsequent offerings shall commence each year on July 1 with a termination
date of December 31 and purchase dates on September 30 and December 31; and on
January 1 with a termination date on June 30 and purchase dates on March 31 and
June 30.

On June 7, 2001, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of its Class A common stock
at a price of $40.00 per share. The equity offering was to cover over-allotments
related to an underwriting agreement between Lamar Advertising Company, AMFM
Operating, Inc. and Deutsche Banc Alex Brown Inc. filed on June 4, 2001. Under
the terms of a consent decree with the United States Department of Justice, AMFM
Operating, Inc. had to dispose of its Lamar Advertising Class A common stock by
January 1, 2003. As of December 31, 2001, AMFM Operating, Inc. has complied with
the terms of the consent decree.
(12) Stock Option Plan
In 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan). The
purpose of the 1996 Plan is to attract and retain key employees and consultants
of the Company. The 1996 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock
appreciation rights and restricted stock to employees and consultants of the
Company capable of contributing to the Company's performance. Options granted
under the 1996 Plan generally become exercisable over a five-year period and
expire 10 years from the date of grant unless otherwise authorized by the Board.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company had reserved an aggregate of 8,000,000
shares of Class A common stock for awards under the 1996 Plan of which 3,000,000
shares are subject to stockholder approval on May 23, 2002 at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders.
In August 2000, the Board of Directors voted to amend the 1996 Plan to (i)
authorize grants to members of the Company's board of directors (ii) provide the
Committee with more flexibility in determining the exercise price of awards made
under the 1996 Plan (iii) allow for grants of unrestricted stock and (iv) set
forth performance criteria that the Committee may establish for the granting of
stock awards. These amendments were approved by the Company's stockholders in
May 2001.
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option
grants. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings (loss) and earnings
(loss) per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company sponsors a Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of certain of
its senior management who meet specific age and years of service criteria.
Employees who have attained the age of 30 and have a minimum of 10 years of
service are eligible for annual contributions to the Plan generally ranging from
$3 to $8, depending on the employee's length of service. The Company's
contributions to the Plan are maintained in a rabbi trust and, accordingly, the
assets and liabilities of the Plan are reflected in the balance sheet of the
Company. Upon termination, death or disability, participating employees are
eligible to receive an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets in
the employee's deferred compensation account. The Company has contributed $550,
$456 and $448 to the Plan during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively. Contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan are
discretionary and are determined by the Board of Directors.
The Company is the subject of litigation arising during the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management and the general counsel of the Company,
those claims will not have a material impact on the financial position, results
of operations or liquidity of the Company.
(14) 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 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.
(15) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of
the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The fair
value of the financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
2001 2000
---- ----
Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated
Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value
------ ---------- ------ ----------
Long-term debt $ 1,745,026 $ 1,770,439 $1,671,466 $1,677,434
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as follows:
- - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, trade
accounts payable, accrued expenses, and deferred income approximate fair
value because of the short term nature of these items.
- - The fair value of long-term debt is based upon market quotes obtained from
dealers where available and by discounting future cash flows at rates
currently available to the Company for similar instruments when quoted
market rates are not available.
Fair value estimates are subject to inherent limitations. Estimates of fair
values are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instrument. The estimated fair
values of financial instruments presented above are not necessarily indicative
of amounts the Company might realize in actual market transactions. Estimates of
fair value are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgement and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

(17) New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.
SOP 98-5 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998, and requires that the costs of start-up activities, including
organizational costs, be expensed as incurred. The effect of SOP 98-5 was
recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in the amount of $(767), net of tax, as described
in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets
with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and subsequently, SFAS No.
144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets", after its
adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001 had no impact on the
Company's financial statements.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001, and SFAS
No. 142 is effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets determined
to have an indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase business combination
completed after June 30, 2001, but before SFAS No. 142 is adopted in full, are
not amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combination
completed before July 1, 2001 continued to be amortized and tested for
impairment prior to the full adoption of SFAS No. 142.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company is required to evaluate its existing
intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in purchase business
combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform
with the new classification criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition separate
from goodwill. The Company will be required to reassess the useful lives and
residual values of all intangible assets acquired, and make any necessary
amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after
adoption. If an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful
life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 within the first interim
period. Impairment is measured as the excess of carrying value over the fair
value of an intangible asset with an indefinite life. Any impairment loss will
be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle in the first interim period.
In connection with SFAS No. 142's transitional goodwill impairment evaluation,
the Statement requires the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is
an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To
accomplish this, the Company must identify its reporting units and determine the
carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities,
including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units
as of January 1, 2002. The Company will then have up to six months from January
1, 2002 to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the
carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a
reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the
42
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
reporting unit, an indication exists that the reporting unit goodwill may be
impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional
impairment test. The second step is required to be completed as soon as
possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. In the second step,
the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill
with the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill, both of which would be
measured as of the date of adoption. The implied fair value of goodwill is
determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the
assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase
price allocation, in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The residual fair value after
this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Any
transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in the Company's statement of income.
As of the date of adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company expects to have
unamortized goodwill in the amount of $1,138,000, all of which will be subject
to the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142. Amortization expense related to
goodwill was $90,030, and $78,433 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with
adopting SFAS No. 141 and No. 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate
the impact of adopting the Statements on the Company's financial statements at
the date of this report, including whether it will be required to recognize any
transitional impairment losses as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle.
In August, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of
the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued
operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either
has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or
is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002.
18) Subsequent Events
On January 11, 2002 the Company activated $200,000 in new borrowings under the
incremental facility of its bank credit agreement. The proceeds were used to
reduce the outstanding balance of the revolving bank credit facility by $160,000
and approximately $10,000 was used for operations resulting in excess cash on
hand of $30,000. Also on January 30, 2002, JPMorgan Chase Bank issued a standby
letter of credit of approximately $3,203 to benefit American Casualty Insurance
Company, the provider of the Company's general liability and workman's
compensation coverage. This issuance reduces the Company's availability under
its revolving credit facility. After these transactions, availability under the
revolving bank credit facility was approximately $347,000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Lamar Media Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lamar Media
Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
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 Lamar Media Corp.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements of Lamar
Advertising Company, the Company changed its method of accounting for the costs
of start-up activities in 1999.
As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July
1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations", and certain provisions of
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", as required for goodwill
and intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after
June 30, 2001.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Nature of Business
On July 20, 1999, Lamar Advertising Company reorganized into a new holding
company structure. As a result of this reorganization (1) the former Lamar
Advertising Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding
company, (2) the name of the former Lamar Advertising Company was changed to
Lamar Media Corp., (3) the name of the new holding company became Lamar
Advertising Company, (4) the outstanding shares of capital stock of the former
Lamar Advertising Company, including the Class A common stock, were
automatically converted, on a share for share basis, into identical shares of
capital stock of the new holding company and (5) the Class A common stock of the
new holding company commenced trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol LAMR instead of the Class A common stock of the former Lamar Advertising
Company. In addition, following the holding company reorganization,
substantially all of the former Lamar Advertising Company's debt obligations,
including the bank credit facility and other long-term debt remained the
obligations of Lamar Media. Under Delaware law, the reorganization did not
require the approval of the stockholders of the former Lamar Advertising
Company. The purpose of the reorganization was to provide Lamar Advertising
Company with a more flexible capital structure and to enhance its financing
options. The business operations of the former Lamar Advertising Company and its
subsidiaries, including the Company, has not changed as a result of the
reorganization.
Lamar Media Corp. is engaged in the outdoor advertising business operating
approximately 144,400 outdoor advertising displays in 44 states. Lamar Media's
operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services
in the markets it serves.
In addition, Lamar Media operates a logo sign business in 21 states throughout
the United States and in 1 province of Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant
to state-awarded service contracts on public rights-of-way near highway exits
and deliver brand name information on available gas, food, lodging and camping
services. Included in the Company's logo sign business are tourism signing
contracts.

LAMAR MEDIA CORP.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
On August 10, 1999, Lamar Media Corp. borrowed from Lamar Advertising Company,
its parent, $287,500 in exchange for a note payable bearing interest at 5-1/4%
due 2006. The proceeds were used to pay down existing bank debt of the Company.
Effective January 30, 2001, Lamar Media Corp. and its subsidiaries entered into
an amendment to its bank credit agreement for the purposes of increasing
"Incremental Loan Commitments" from $400,000 to $1,000,000 and affording Lamar
Media Corp. and Lamar Advertising Company more flexibility in incurring debt.
The "Total Debt Ratio", previously measured at the Lamar Advertising Company
level, is now measured at the Lamar Media Corp. level with the result that the 5
1/4% convertible Notes will be excluded from this ratio. In connection with
these changes, the note receivable and notes payable of equal amounts between
Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media, its wholly owned subsidiary, were canceled.
The cancellation of the note of $287,500 is treated as capital contributed by
the parent on Lamar Media's balance sheet effective January 30, 2001.

======== =======
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections
for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are
deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that Lamar Media will
realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred
tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if
estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
