Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared by Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for adoption of new accounting standards) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The combined financial statements include amounts prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”) derived from Clear Channel Communications’ consolidated financial statements using the historical results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of Clear Channel Communications’ outdoor advertising businesses and give effect to allocations of expenses from Clear Channel Communications. These allocations were made on a specifically identifiable basis or using relative percentages of headcount or other methods management considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. The Company’s historical financial data may not be indicative of its future performance nor will such data reflect what its financial position and results of operations would have been had it operated as an independent publicly traded company during the periods shown. Significant intercompany accounts among the combined businesses have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in nonconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

          Certain Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified prior year operating gains and losses to be included as a component of operating income, reclassified minority interest expense below its provision for income taxes and reclassified certain other assets to current assets to conform to current year presentation.

          Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“Statement 155”). Statement 155 is an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“Statement 133”) and FASB Statement 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“Statement 140”) and allows companies to elect to measure at fair value entire financial instruments containing embedded derivatives that would otherwise have to be accounted for separately. Statement 155 also requires companies to identify interest in securitized financial assets that are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives that would have to be accounted for separately, clarifies which interest- and principal-only strips are subject to Statement 133, and amends Statement 140 to revise the conditions of a qualifying special purpose entity due to the new requirement to identify whether interests in securitized financial assets are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. Statement 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt Statement 155 on January 1, 2007 and anticipates that adoption will not materially impact its financial position or results of operations.

Note 2: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Company has granted options to purchase shares of its Class A common stock to employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates under its incentive stock plan at no less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. These options are granted for a term not exceeding ten years and are forfeited, except in certain circumstances, in the event the employee or director terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company or one of its affiliates. These options generally vest over three to five years. The incentive stock plan contains anti-dilutive provisions that permit an adjustment of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock represented by each option for any change in capitalization.

The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“Statement 123(R)”), on January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective-transition method. The fair value of the options is

estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized straight-line to expense over five years. Prior to adoption of Statement 123(R), the Company accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“Statement 123”). The Company did not recognize employee compensation cost related to its stock option grants in its consolidated statement of operations prior to adoption of Statement 123(R), as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The amounts recorded as share-based payments prior to adopting Statement 123(R) related to the expense associated with restricted stock awards. Under the modified-prospective-transition method, compensation cost recognized beginning in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

As a result of adopting Statement 123(R), the Company’s income before income taxes and minority interest and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006, is $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006 would have been unchanged if the Company had not adopted Statement 123(R).

Prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows. Statement 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. There were no exercises of stock options during the first quarter of 2006.

Prior to the IPO, the Company did not have any compensation plans under which it granted stock awards to employees. However, Clear Channel Communications granted the Company’s officers and other key employees stock options to purchase shares of Clear Channel Communications’ common stock. All prior options granted to CCO employees were converted using an intrinsic value method into options to purchase CCO Class A common shares concurrent with the closing of the IPO. As did the Company, Clear Channel Communications accounted for its stock-based award plans in accordance with APB 25, and related interpretations. Clear Channel Communications calculated the pro forma stock compensation expense as if the stock-based awards had been accounted for using the provisions of Statement 123. The stock compensation expense was then allocated to the Company based on the percentage of options outstanding to employees of the Company.

Pro forma net income and earnings per share, assuming the Company and Clear Channel Communications accounted for all employee stock options using the fair value method and amortized such to expense over the options’ vesting period is as follows:

(In thousands, except per share data)		March 31,
		2005
Net loss:
Reported		$	(5,892	)
Add:       Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of            related tax effects			27
Deduct:   Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair             value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects			803

Net loss per common share:
Basic:
Reported		$	(.02	)
Pro Forma		$	(.02	)
Diluted:
Reported		$	(.02	)
Pro Forma		$	(.02	)

The fair value of each option awarded is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility on the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. Prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R), the Company recognized forfeitures as they occurred in its Statement 123 pro

forma disclosures. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company includes estimated forfeitures in its compensation cost and updates the estimated forfeiture rate through the final vesting date of awards. The expected life is based on historical data of options granted and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate for periods within the life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the Company’s options on the date of grant during the three months ended March 31, 2006:

Risk-free interest rate			4.58% - 4.64	%
Dividend yield			0%
Volatility factors			27%
Expected life in years			5.0 – 7.5

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company also grants restricted stock awards to its employees. These common shares hold a legend which restricts their transferability for a term of three to five years and are forfeited, except in certain circumstances, in the event the employee terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company prior to the lapse of the restriction. The restricted stock awards were granted out of the Company’s stock option plan.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s restricted stock outstanding at and restricted stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2006 (“Price” reflects the weighted average share price at the date of grant):

(In thousands, except per share data)		2006

Granted			5				19.85
Vested (restriction lapsed)			—				—
Forfeited			(1	)			18.00

The Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to shares of Clear Channel Communications’ restricted stock granted to the Company’s employees prior to the IPO.

Unrecognized Share-Based Compensation Cost

As of March 31, 2006, there was $14.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately four years.

Note 3: INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

          Definite-lived Intangibles

The Company has definite-lived intangible assets which consist primarily of transit and street furniture contracts and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute to the Company’s future cash flows. Other definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of definite-lived intangible assets at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

(In thousands)		March 31, 2006								December 31, 2005
		Gross Carrying				Accumulated				Gross				Accumulated
		Amount				Amortization				Carrying Amount				Amortization
Transit, street furniture, and other contractual rights		$	660,952			$	428,971			$	651,456			$	408,017
Other			41,896				38,419				56,449				47,937
Total		$	702,848			$	467,390			$	707,905			$	455,954

Total amortization expense from definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $20.2 million and $89.3 million, respectively. The following table presents the Company’s estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for definite-lived intangible assets:

(In thousands)
2007		$	44,440
2008			22,407
2009			20,148
2010			12,510
2011			9,576

As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future and as purchase price allocations are finalized, amortization expense may vary.

          Indefinite-lived Intangibles

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of billboard permits. The Company’s billboard permits are issued in perpetuity by state and local governments and are transferable or renewable at little or no cost. Permits typically include the location for which the permit allows the Company the right to operate an advertising structure. The Company’s permits are located on either owned or leased land. In cases where the Company’s permits are located on leased land, the leases are typically from 10 to 20 years and renew indefinitely, with rental payments generally escalating at an inflation based index. If the Company loses its lease, the Company will typically obtain permission to relocate the permit or bank it with the municipality for future use.

The Company does not amortize its billboard permits. The Company tests these indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually using the direct method. Under the direct method, it is assumed that rather than acquiring indefinite-lived intangible assets as a part of a going concern business, the buyer hypothetically obtains indefinite-lived intangible assets and builds a new operation with similar attributes from scratch. Thus, the buyer incurs start-up costs during the build-up phase which are normally associated with going concern value. Initial capital costs are deducted from the discounted cash flows model which results in value that is directly attributable to the indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Under the direct method, the Company continues to aggregate its indefinite-lived intangible assets at the market level for purposes of impairment testing. The Company’s key assumptions using the direct method are market revenue growth rates, market share, profit margin, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up capital costs and losses incurred during the build-up period, the risk-adjusted discount rate and terminal values. This data is populated using industry normalized market information.

The carrying amount for billboard permits at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $270.9 million and $207.9 million, respectively.

          Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill for impairment using a two-step process. The first step, used to screen for potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The second step, used to measure the amount of the impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in each of the Company’s reportable segments for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006:

(In thousands)		Americas				International				Total

Note 4: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

          Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we acquired outdoor display faces for $9.1 million in cash.

          Disposition of Assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company exchanged assets in one of its Americas markets for assets located in a different market and recognized a gain of $17.1 million in “Gain on disposition of assets – net.”

          Recent Legal Proceedings

The Company is the defendant in a lawsuit filed October 20, 1998 by Jorge Luis Cabrera, Sr., and Martha Serrano, as personal representatives of the Estate of Jorge Luis Cabrera, Jr., in the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida. The plaintiff alleged the Company negligently constructed, installed or maintained the electrical system in a bus shelter, which resulted in the death of Jorge Luis Cabrera, Jr. Martha Serrano settled her claims with the Company. On June 24, 2005, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, and awarded the plaintiff $4.1 million in actual damages and $61.0 million in punitive damages. The Company filed a motion to have the punitive damages award reduced. The trial judge granted the Company’s motion. A final judgment in the amount of $4.1 million in compensatory damages and $12.3 million in punitive damages was signed on January 23, 2006. The Company has appealed the underlying judgment and the Plaintiff filed a cross-appeal. The Plaintiff seeks to reinstate the original award of punitive damages. The Company has insurance coverage for up to approximately $50.0 million in damages for this matter.

The Company is currently involved in certain other legal proceedings and, as required, has accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims, inclusive of those discussed above. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings.

Note 5: RESTRUCTURING

In the third quarter of 2005, the Company restructured its operations in France. As a result, the Company recorded $26.6 million in restructuring costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2005; $22.5 million was related to severance costs and $4.1 million was related to other costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, $0.5 million was paid and charged to the restructuring reserve related to other costs. As of March 31, 2006, the accrual balance was $21.1 million. The remaining accrual will be paid over the next four years.

In addition to the France restructuring, the Company has a restructuring liability related to Clear Channel Communications’ merger with Ackerley in June 2002. At March 31, 2006, the accrual balance for this restructuring was $1.5 million. The remaining restructuring accrual is comprised solely of lease termination, which will be paid over the next five years.

Note 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Certain agreements relating to acquisitions provide for purchase price adjustments and other future contingent payments based on the financial performance of the acquired companies. The Company will continue to accrue additional amounts related to such contingent payments if and when it is determinable that the applicable financial performance targets will be met. The aggregate of these contingent payments, if performance targets are met, would not significantly impact the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

As discussed in Note 4, there are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company. Based on current assumptions, the Company has accrued its estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings.

Note 7: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company records net amounts due to or from Clear Channel Communications as “Due from Clear Channel Communications” on the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to the IPO, the account accrues interest pursuant to the Master Agreement and is generally payable on demand. Included in the account is the net activity resulting from day-to-day cash management services provided by Clear Channel Communications. As a part of these services, the Company maintains collection bank accounts swept daily by Clear Channel Communications. In return, Clear Channel Communications funds the Company’s controlled disbursement accounts as checks or electronic payments are presented for payment. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance in “Due from Clear Channel Communications” was $35.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.3 million.

On August 2, 2005, the Company distributed a note in the original principal amount of $2.5 billion to Clear Channel Communications as a dividend. This note matures on August 2, 2010 and accrues interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the weighted average cost of debt for Clear Channel Communications, calculated on a monthly basis. At March 31, 2006, the interest rate on the $2.5 billion intercompany note was 6.1%.

The Company provides advertising space on its billboards for radio stations owned by Clear Channel Communications. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in revenue for these advertisements.

Clear Channel Communications provides management services to the Company, which include, among other things: (i) treasury, payroll and other financial related services; (ii) executive officer services; (iii) human resources and employee benefits services; (iv) legal and related services; (v) information systems, network and related services; (vi) investment services; (vii) procurement and sourcing support services; and (viii) other general corporate services. These services are charged to the Company based on actual direct costs incurred or allocated by Clear Channel Communications based on headcount, revenue or other factors on a pro rata basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded $5.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively, as a component of corporate expenses for these services.

Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the operations of the Company are included in a consolidated federal income tax return filed by Clear Channel Communications. The Company’s provision for income taxes has been computed on the basis that the Company files separate consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Tax payments are made to Clear Channel Communications on the basis of the Company’s separate taxable income. Tax benefits recognized on the Company’s employee stock options exercises are retained by the Company.

The Company computes its deferred income tax provision using the liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company was a separate taxpayer. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if the Company believes it is more likely than not some portion or all of the asset will not be realized.

Note 8: SEGMENT DATA

The Company has two reportable segments – Americas and international. The Americas segment includes operations in the United States, Canada and Latin America, and the international segment includes operations in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

INTRODUCTION

          Management’s discussion and analysis, or MD&A, of our financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to the unaudited interim financial statements and accompanying notes thereto to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in our financial condition and results of our operations. The information included in MD&A should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements.

OVERVIEW

          We adopted FAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, on January 1, 2006 under the modified-prospective approach which requires us to recognize non-cash compensation cost in the same line items as cash compensation in the 2006 financial statements for all options granted after the date of adoption as well as for any options that were granted prior to adoption but not yet vested. Under the modified-prospective approach, no stock option expense is reflected in the financial statements for 2005 attributable to these options. Non-cash compensation expense recognized in the financial statements during 2005 related primarily to restricted stock awards. As a result of adoption, we recognized $1.0 million, $0.4 million and $22 thousand of non-cash compensation expense in direct operating, SG&A and corporate expenses, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, there was $14.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately four years.

Description of Business

          Our revenues are derived from selling advertising space on displays owned or operated, consisting primarily of billboards, street furniture displays and transit displays. We own the majority of our advertising displays, which typically are located on sites that we either lease or own or for which we have acquired permanent easements. Our advertising contracts with clients typically outline the number of displays reserved, the duration of the advertising campaign and the unit price per display. The margins on our billboard contracts tend to be higher than those on contracts for our other displays.

          Generally, our advertising rates are based on the “gross rating points,” or total number of impressions delivered expressed as a percentage of a market population, of a display or group of displays. The number of “impressions” delivered by a display is measured by the number of people passing the site during a defined period of time and, in some international markets, is weighted to account for such factors as illumination, proximity to other displays and the speed and viewing angle of approaching traffic. To monitor our business, management typically reviews the average rates, average revenues per display, occupancy and inventory levels of each of our display types by market. In addition, because a significant portion of our advertising operations are conducted in foreign markets, management reviews the operating results from our foreign operations on a constant dollar basis. A constant dollar basis allows for comparison of operations independent of foreign exchange movements. Because revenue-sharing and minimum guaranteed payment arrangements are more prevalent in our international operations, the margins in our international operations typically are less than the margins in our Americas operations.

          The significant expenses associated with our operations include (i) direct production, maintenance and installation expenses, (ii) site lease expenses for land under our displays and (iii) revenue-sharing or minimum guaranteed amounts payable under our billboard, street furniture and transit display contracts. Our direct production, maintenance and installation expenses include costs for printing, transporting and changing the advertising copy on our displays, the related labor costs, the vinyl and paper costs and the costs for cleaning and maintaining our displays. Vinyl and paper costs vary according to the complexity of the advertising copy and the quantity of displays. Our site lease expenses include lease payments for use of the land under our displays, as well as any revenue-sharing arrangements we may have with the landlords. The terms of our Americas site leases generally range from 1 to 50 years. Internationally, the terms of our site leases generally range from 3 to 15 years, but vary across our networks.

Relationship with Clear Channel Communications

          Clear Channel Communications has advised us its current intent is to continue to hold all of our Class B common stock and thereby retain its controlling interest in us. However, Clear Channel Communications is not subject to any contractual obligation that would prohibit it from selling, spinning off, splitting off or otherwise disposing of any shares of our common stock.

Basis of Presentation

          Our combined financial statements for the periods prior to our IPO have been derived from the financial statements and accounting records of Clear Channel Communications, principally from the statements and records representing Clear Channel

Consolidated and Combined Results of Operations

          The comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 is as follows:

(In thousands)		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2006				2005
Revenue		$	598,369			$	578,959
Operating expenses:
Direct operating expenses (includes share-based payments of $1,066 and $156 in 2006 and 2005, respectively, and excludes depreciation and amortization)			328,626				326,054

Net income (loss)		$	8,133			$	(5,892	)

Revenue

          Our revenue increased $19.4 million, or 3%, during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. Our Americas segment contributed $20.3 million to the growth primarily as a result of an increase in average rates across most of our inventory. Revenue in our international segment declined $0.8 million. This decline includes movements in foreign exchange of $29.5 million, partially offset by $15.4 million related to our consolidation of Clear Media Limited, a Chinese outdoor advertising company. We acquired a controlling majority interest in Clear Media during the third quarter of 2005 and began consolidating its results. We had previously accounted for Clear Media as an equity method investment.

Direct Operating Expenses

          Consolidated direct operating expenses increased $2.6 million, or 1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005. Our Americas segment contributed $3.2 million primarily from an increase in site lease expense. Direct operating expenses in our international segment declined $0.6 million primarily related to $19.5 million from foreign exchange movements, which was partially offset by $8.4 million related to our consolidation of Clear Media. Included in our consolidated direct operating expenses for 2006 is approximately $1.0 million related to our adoption of FAS 123(R).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

          SG&A increased $1.2 million, or 1%, during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. Our SG&A increased $3.3 million in our Americas segment, primarily from an increase in bonus and commission expenses associated with the increase in revenue. SG&A in our international segment declined $2.1 million primarily from $7.6 million related to movements in foreign exchange during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. Partially offsetting this decline was $4.5 million related to our consolidation of Clear Media. Included in our consolidated SG&A for 2006 is $0.4 million related to our adoption of FAS 123(R).

Corporate Expenses

          Corporate expenses increased $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily the result of additional outside professional services and costs related to the first full quarter as a public Company.

Gain on Disposition of Assets — Net

          The gain on disposition of assets – net for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $21.2 million from $1.6 million in 2005 to $22.8 million in 2006. The increase is primarily related to $17.1 million in our Americas segment from the swap of assets in one of our markets for the assets of a third party located in a different market during the first quarter of 2006.

Interest Expense (Including Interest on Debt with Clear Channel Communications)

          Interest expense increased $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005 primarily from a $2.5 billion intercompany note with Clear Channel Communications issued on August 2, 2005. The note accrues interest at a variable per annum rate based on the weighted average cost of debt for Clear Channel Communications, calculated on a monthly basis. The interest rate as of March 31, 2006, was 6.1%.

          In the first quarter of 2005, we had in place two fixed principal and interest rate notes. The first note, in the original principal amount of approximately $1.4 billion, accrued interest at a per annum rate of 10%. The second note, in the original principal amount of $73.0 million, accrued interest at a per annum rate of 9%. We used all of the net proceeds of the IPO, along with our balance in the “Due from Clear Channel Communications” account, to repay a portion of the outstanding balances of the $1.4 billion and $73.0 million intercompany notes. The remaining balance of $393.7 million was otherwise capitalized by Clear Channel Communications.

Other Income (Expense) — Net

          Other income (expense) – net for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased $2.4 million from expense of $2.8 million in 2005 to expense of $0.4 million in 2006. During the first three months of 2005, we recorded $3.1 million in royalty fees which represent payments to Clear Channel Communications for our use of certain trademarks and licenses. The royalty fee was discontinued as of January 1, 2006.

Income Taxes

          Our operations are included in a consolidated income tax return filed by Clear Channel Communications. However, for our financial statements, our provision for income taxes was computed on the basis that we file separate consolidated income tax returns with our subsidiaries.

          Current tax benefit increased $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to a current tax benefit of approximately $19.7 million recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 related to the filing of an amended tax return and the swap of certain operating assets in the period. The current tax benefit was partially offset by additional current tax expense recorded due to an increase in “Income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest” of $40.2 million.

          Deferred tax expense increased $32.7 million primarily due to deferred tax expense of approximately $19.7 million recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, related to the filing of an amended tax return and the swap of certain operating assets in the period. In addition deferred tax expense increased due to additional deferred tax benefits recorded in our international operations for changes in tax laws in various countries in which we operate for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Americas Results of Operations

(In thousands)		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2006				2005

Depreciation and amortization			42,232				43,103
Operating income		$	63,665			$	48,995

          Our Americas revenue increased $20.3 million, or 8%, during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005 primarily attributable to growth in average rates across most of our inventory. Local revenues performed better than national revenues during the quarter across the majority of our markets. Strong market revenue growth during the quarter included Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orlando, San Antonio and Cleveland. Our Latin American markets also contributed to the revenue growth during the first quarter. Strong advertising client categories included entertainment and amusements, business and consumer services, insurance and real estate.

          Direct operating expenses increased $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2006 over the first quarter of 2005 primarily from an increase in site lease expense of approximately $3.4 million associated with a new street furniture contract and the increase in revenue, as well as an increase due to the adoption of FAS 123(R) of approximately $0.8 million. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline of $2.4 million in direct production expenses primarily from lower production expenses associated with our Spectacolor displays. Our SG&A expenses increased $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 over the first quarter of 2005 primarily from an increase in bonus and commission expenses of $2.9 million related to the increase in revenue, and an increase in non-cash compensation expense of $0.3 million related to the adoption of FAS 123(R).

Depreciation and amortization			54,088				55,163
Operating loss		$	(21,047	)		$	(23,953	)

          Revenue in our international segment declined $0.8 million. This includes movements in foreign exchange of $29.5 million, partially offset by $15.4 million related to our consolidation of Clear Media, as well as revenue growth primarily from our street furniture and billboard inventory. We acquired a controlling majority interest in Clear Media during the third quarter of 2005 and began consolidating its results. We had previously accounted for Clear Media as an equity method investment. Strong markets for the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005 included France, Italy and Australia.

          Direct operating expenses decreased $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. The decline was primarily attributable to foreign exchange movements of approximately $19.5 million. Before the effects of foreign exchange, our direct operating expenses increased primarily from $8.4 million related to our consolidation of Clear Media and an increase in site lease expenses primarily from the renewal of a street furniture contract in the United Kingdom. Also included in the increase is $0.2 million in non-cash compensation expense related to the adoption of FAS 123(R). Our SG&A expenses declined $2.1 million primarily attributable to foreign exchange movements of approximately $7.6 million. Before the effects of foreign exchange, our SG&A expenses increased primarily from $4.5 million related to our consolidation of Clear Media and $0.1 million in non-cash compensation expense related to the adoption of
FAS 123(R).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

     Operating Activities:

          Net cash flow from operating activities of $80.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 principally reflects net income of $8.1 million and depreciation and amortization of $96.3 million. Net cash flow from operating activities also reflects a negative change in working capital of approximately $25.4 million. Net cash flow from operating activities of $70.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 principally reflects depreciation and amortization of $98.3 million, partially offset by a net loss of $5.9 million and a deferred income tax benefit of $9.1 million. Net cash flow from operations also reflects a negative change in working capital of approximately $12.0 million.

     Investing Activities:

          Net cash used in investing activities of $65.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 principally reflects capital expenditures of $43.7 million related to purchases of property, plant and equipment and $9.1 million related to acquisitions of operating assets. Net cash used in investing activities of $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 principally reflects capital expenditures of $35.1 million related to purchases of property, plant and equipment and $5.3 million related to acquisitions of operating assets.

     Financing Activities:

          Net cash used in financing activities of $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 principally relates to a net transfer of cash to Clear Channel Communications of $35.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities of $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 reflects a net reduction in debt of $18.5 million and a net transfer of cash from Clear Channel Communications of $7.1 million.

SOURCES OF CAPITAL

As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 we had the following debt outstanding:

(In millions)		March 31,				December 31,
		2006				2005
Bank credit facility		$	15.4			$	15.0
Debt with Clear Channel Communications			2,500.0				2,500.0

Less: Cash and cash equivalents			87.3				108.6
Less: Due from Clear Channel Communications			35.7				0.1
		$	2,605.2			$	2,619.1

Credit Facility

          In addition to cash flows from operations, another source of our liquidity is through borrowings under a $150.0 million sub-limit included in Clear Channel Communications’ five-year, multicurrency $1.75 billion revolving credit facility. Certain of our international subsidiaries may borrow under the sub-limit to the extent Clear Channel Communications has not already borrowed against this capacity and is in compliance with its covenants under the credit facility. The interest rate on outstanding balances under the credit facility is based upon LIBOR or, for Euro denominated borrowings, EURIBOR, plus, in each case, a margin. At March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the sub-limit was approximately $15.4 million, and approximately $134.6 million was available for future borrowings, with the entire balance to be paid on July 12, 2009. At March 31, 2006, the interest rate on borrowings under this credit facility was 4.0%. As of May 10, 2006, the outstanding balance on the sub-limit was $15.7 million and $134.3 million was available for future borrowings.

Debt With Clear Channel Communications

          We have an account that represents net amounts due to or from Clear Channel Communications, which is recorded as “Due from Clear Channel Communications” on the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to the IPO, the account accrues interest pursuant to the Master Agreement and is generally payable on demand. Included in the account is the net activity resulting from day-to-day cash management services provided by Clear Channel Communications. As a part of these services, the Company maintains collection bank accounts swept daily by Clear Channel Communications. In return, Clear Channel Communications funds the Company’s controlled disbursement accounts as checks or electronic payments are presented for payment. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance in “Due from Clear Channel Communications” was $35.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.3 million.

          On August 2, 2005, we distributed a note in the original principal amount of $2.5 billion to Clear Channel Communications as a dividend. This note matures on August 2, 2010 and may be prepaid in whole at any time, or in part from time to time. The note accrues interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the weighted average cost of debt for Clear Channel Communications, calculated on a monthly basis. This note is mandatorily payable upon a change of control of us and, subject to certain exceptions, all proceeds from debt or equity raised by us must be used to prepay such note. At March 31, 2006, the interest rate on the $2.5 billion intercompany note was 6.1%.

Debt Covenants

          The $2.5 billion intercompany note requires us to comply with various negative covenants, including restrictions on the following activities: incurring consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the note), excluding intercompany indebtedness, in a principal amount in excess of $400.0 million at any one time outstanding; creating liens; making investments; entering into sale and leaseback transactions (as defined in the note), which when aggregated with consolidated funded indebtedness secured by liens, will not exceed an amount equal to 10% of our total consolidated shareholders’ equity (as defined in the note) as shown on our most recently reported annual audited consolidated financial statements; disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; entering into mergers and consolidations; declaring or making dividends or other distributions; repurchasing our equity; and entering into transactions with our affiliates.

          In addition, the note requires us to prepay it in full upon a change of control. The note defines a change of control to occur when Clear Channel Communications ceases to control (i) directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the aggregate voting equity interests of us, our operating subsidiary or our respective successors or assigns, or (ii) the ability to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of us, our operating subsidiary or our respective successors or assigns. Upon our issuances of equity and incurrences of

debt, subject to certain exceptions, we are also required to prepay the note in the amount of the net proceeds received by us from such events.

          Certain of our international subsidiaries may borrow up to $150.0 million for use in our international operations under a sub-limit of the approximately $1.75 billion revolving credit facility of Clear Channel Communications so long as Clear Channel Communications remains in compliance with its covenants under the facility and does not otherwise borrow against such capacity. The significant covenants contained in the credit facility relate to leverage and interest coverage (as defined in the credit facility). The leverage ratio covenant requires Clear Channel Communications to maintain a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to operating cash flow (as defined by the credit facility) of less than 5.25x. The interest coverage covenant requires Clear Channel Communications to maintain a minimum ratio of operating cash flow to interest expense (as defined by the credit facility) of 2.50x. At March 31, 2006, Clear Channel Communications’ leverage and interest coverage ratios were 3.6x and 4.8x, respectively.

          There are no significant covenants or events of default contained in the cash management note issued by Clear Channel Communications to us or the cash management note issued by us to Clear Channel Communications.

          At March 31, 2006, we and Clear Channel Communications were in compliance with all debt covenants. We expect to remain in compliance throughout 2006.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

     Commitments and Contingencies

          From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Under our agreements with Clear Channel Communications, we have assumed and will indemnify Clear Channel Communications for liabilities related to our business. Other than as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, we do not believe there is any litigation pending that would have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

          Certain agreements relating to acquisitions provide for purchase price adjustments and other future contingent payments based on the financial performance of the acquired companies generally over a one to five year period. We will continue to accrue additional amounts related to such contingent payments if and when it is determinable that the applicable financial performance targets will be met. The aggregate of these contingent payments, if performance targets are met, would not significantly impact our financial position or results of operations.

Market Risk

     Interest Rate Risk

          We had approximately $2.7 billion total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2006, substantially all of which was variable rate debt. Based on the amount of our floating-rate debt as of March 31, 2006, each 50 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease our interest expense and cash outlay for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by approximately $3.4 million. This potential increase or decrease is based on the simplified assumption that the level of floating-rate debt remains constant with an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease as of March 31, 2006 with no subsequent change in rates for the remainder of the period.

     Foreign Currency

          We have operations in countries throughout the world. The financial results of our foreign operations are measured in their local currencies, except in the hyperinflationary countries in which we operate. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we operate. We believe we mitigate a small portion of our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with a natural hedge through borrowings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our foreign operations reported a net loss of approximately $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. We estimate a 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have changed our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by approximately $1.8 million.

          This analysis does not consider the implication such currency fluctuations could have on the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment in the United States or the foreign countries or on the results of operations of these foreign entities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“Statement 155”). Statement 155 is an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“Statement 133”) and FASB Statement 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“Statement 140”) and allows companies to elect to measure at fair value entire financial instruments containing embedded derivatives that would otherwise have to be accounted for separately. Statement 155 also requires companies to identify interest in securitized financial assets that are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives that would have to be accounted for separately, clarifies which interest- and principal-only strips are subject to Statement 133, and amends Statement 140 to revise the conditions of a qualifying special purpose entity due to the new requirement to identify whether interests in securitized financial assets are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. Statement 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We will adopt Statement 155 on January 1, 2007 and anticipate that adoption will not materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

          Management believes certain critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Due to the implementation of FAS 123 (R), we identified a new critical accounting policy related to share-based compensation, which is listed below. Our other critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in the Note A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

     Stock Based Compensation

          We account for stock based compensation in accordance with FAS 123(R). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires assumptions and judgments about expected volatility and forfeiture rates, among other factors. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, our results of operations could be materially impacted.

Risks Regarding Forward Looking Statements

          The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Except for the historical information, this report contains various forward-looking statements which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including the future levels of cash flow from operations. Management believes all statements expressing expectations and projections with respect to future matters, including our ability to negotiate contracts having more favorable terms and the availability of capital resources; are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. We caution that these forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to many variables which could impact our financial performance. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions, as of the time the statements are made, regarding future events and business performance. There can be no assurance, however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          Our principal executive and financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

          There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

          We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

          For information regarding risk factors, please refer to Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Additional information relating to risk factors is described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Risks Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”
