Note 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were 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 normal and recurring adjustments 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and give effect to allocations of expenses from the Company’s indirect parent entity, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“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. Investments in companies in which the Company owns 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting common stock or otherwise exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process.

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU updates Topic 805, Business Combinations, to specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments of this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-29 on January 1, 2011 without material impact to the Company’s disclosures.

Note 2: PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively:

Definite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company has definite-lived intangible assets which consist primarily of transit and street furniture contracts, site leases 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 directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived assets. These assets are recorded at cost.

The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of definite-lived intangible assets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively:


(In thousands)	March 31, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Transit, street furniture and other contractual rights	$	804,167	$	268,878	$	789,867	$	241,461

Total	$	978,659	$	287,638	$	963,416	$	258,198

Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $23.0 million and $23.6 million, respectively.

As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, amortization expense may vary. The following table presents the Company’s estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for definite-lived intangible assets.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles consist primarily of billboard permits in its Americas segment. Due to significant differences in both business practices and regulations, billboards in the International segment are subject to long-term, finite contracts unlike the Company’s permits in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, there are no indefinite-lived assets in the International segment.

Goodwill

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in each of the Company’s reportable segments.

Total long-term debt	$	2,520,486	$	2,522,133

The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $2.8 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Clear Channel Communications’ Refinancing Transactions

During the first quarter of 2011 Clear Channel Communications amended its senior secured credit facilities and its receivables based credit facility (the “Amendments”) and issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 9.0% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021. Clear Channel Communications used a portion of the proceeds from the Priority Guarantee Notes offering to prepay $500.0 million of the indebtedness outstanding under its senior secured credit facilities. As a result of the prepayment, the revolving credit commitments under Clear Channel Communications’ revolving credit facility were permanently reduced from $2.0 billion to $1.9 billion and the sub-limit under which certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries may borrow (to the extent that Clear Channel Communications’ has not already borrowed against this capacity) was reduced from $150.0 million to $145.0 million. The Amendments, among other things, provide greater flexibility for the Company and its subsidiaries to incur new debt, provided that the net proceeds distributed to Clear Channel Communications from the issuance of such new debt are used to pay down senior secured credit facility indebtedness.

Note 4: SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Income tax benefit

The Company’s income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, consisted of the following components:


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011		2010
Current tax benefit (expense)	$	2,861	$	(8,150	)
Deferred tax benefit		19,494		18,854

Income tax benefit	$	22,355	$	10,704

The effective tax rate is the provision for income taxes as a percent of income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 68.3%. The 2011 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the Company’s settlement of U.S. federal and state tax examinations during the quarter. Pursuant to the settlements, the Company recorded a reduction to income tax expense of approximately $3.3 million to reflect the net tax benefits of the settlements. In addition, the effective rate was impacted by the Company’s ability to benefit from certain tax loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions due to taxable income where the losses previously did not provide a benefit.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 18.0%. The 2010 effective rate was impacted primarily as a result of the Company’s inability to benefit from tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future years.

Note 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company holds marketable equity securities classified in accordance with the provisions of ASC 320-10. These marketable equity securities are measured at fair value on each reporting date using quoted prices in active markets. Due to the fact that the inputs used to measure the marketable equity securities at fair value are observable, the Company has categorized the fair value measurements of the securities as Level 1. The Company records its investments in these marketable equity securities on the balance sheet as “Other Assets.”

The cost, unrealized holding gains or losses, and fair value of the Company’s investments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Note 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries are currently involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, the Company has accrued its estimate of the probable costs for resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. 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.

In 2006, two of the Company’s operating businesses (L&C Outdoor Ltda. (“L&C”) and Publicidad Klimes Sao Paulo Ltda. (“Klimes”), respectively) in the Sao Paulo, Brazil market received notices of infraction from the state taxing authority, seeking to impose a value added tax (“VAT”) on such businesses, retroactively for the period from December 31, 2001 through January 31, 2006. The taxing authority contends that the Company’s businesses fall within the definition of “communication services” and as such are subject to the VAT.

The Company has filed separate petitions to challenge the imposition of this tax against each of its businesses. The Company’s challenge for L&C was unsuccessful at the first administrative level, but successful at the second administrative level. The state taxing authority filed an appeal to the third and final administrative level, which required consideration by a full panel of 16 administrative law judges. On September 27, 2010, the Company received an unfavorable ruling at this final administrative level concluding that the VAT applied to L&C and intends to appeal this ruling to the judicial level. The Company has filed a petition to have the case remanded to the second administrative level for consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty assessed against it. The amounts allegedly owed by L&C are approximately $9.6 million in taxes, approximately $19.2 million in penalties and approximately $29.4 million in interest (as of March 31, 2011 at an exchange rate of 0.60). Based on management’s review of the law in and the outcome of similar cases in other Brazilian states, the Company has not accrued any costs related to these claims and believes the occurrence of loss is not probable.

The Company’s challenge for Klimes was unsuccessful at the first administrative level, and denied at the second administrative level on or about September 24, 2009. On January 5, 2011, the administrative law judges at the third administrative level published a ruling that the VAT applies to Klimes but reduced the penalty assessed by the taxing authority. With the penalty reduction, the amounts allegedly owed by Klimes are approximately $10.9 million in taxes, approximately $5.4 million in penalties and approximately $18.2

(UNAUDITED)

million in interest (as of March 31, 2011 at an exchange rate of 0.60). In mid-January 2011, the taxing authority filed an extraordinary appeal to the third administrative level, asking that it reconsider the decision to reduce the penalty assessed against Klimes. The president of the third administrative level rejected that appeal. In late February 2011, the Company filed a writ of mandamus in the 13a lower public treasury court in São Paulo, State of São Paulo, appealing the administrative court’s decision that the VAT applies to Klimes. On that same day, Klimes filed a motion for an injunction barring the taxing authority from collecting the tax, penalty and interest while the appeal is pending. The court denied the motion in early April 2011. The Company appealed the decision to the São Paulo State Higher Court, which affirmed in late April 2011. Based on management’s review of the law in and the outcome of similar cases in other Brazilian states, the Company has not accrued any costs related to these claims and believes the occurrence of loss is not probable.

As of March 31, 2011, Clear Channel Communications had outstanding commercial standby letters of credit and surety bonds of $42.1 million and $43.7 million, respectively, held on behalf of the Company. These letters of credit and surety bonds relate to various operational matters, including insurance, bid and performance bonds, as well as other items. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $59.1 million in letters of credit outstanding, of which $56.6 million of letters of credit were cash secured.

Note 7: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company records net amounts due to or from Clear Channel Communications as “Due from/to Clear Channel Communications” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accounts represent the revolving promissory note issued by the Company to Clear Channel Communications and the revolving promissory note issued by Clear Channel Communications to the Company, in the face amount of $1.0 billion, or if more or less than such amount, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances. The accounts accrue interest pursuant to the terms of the promissory notes and are generally payable on demand.

Included in the accounts are the net activities 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 into accounts of Clear Channel Communications (after satisfying the funding requirements of the Trustee Account). In return, Clear Channel Communications funds the Company’s controlled disbursement accounts as checks or electronic payments are presented for payment. The Company’s claim in relation to cash transferred from its concentration account is on an unsecured basis and is limited to the balance of the “Due from Clear Channel Communications” account. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the asset recorded in “Due from Clear Channel Communications” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $408.9 million and $383.8 million, respectively. The net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $9.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest rate on the “Due from Clear Channel Communications” account was 9.25%, which represents the fixed interest rate on the Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings senior notes.

Clear Channel Communications has a $1.9 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility with a maturity in July 2014 which includes a $145.0 million sub-limit that certain of the Company’s International subsidiaries may borrow against to the extent Clear Channel Communications has not already borrowed against this capacity and is compliant with its covenants under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the $145.0 million sub-limit facility. Clear Channel Communications has borrowed the entire capacity.

The Company provides advertising space on its billboards for radio stations owned by Clear Channel Communications. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in revenue for these advertisements.

Under the Corporate Services Agreement between Clear Channel Communications and the Company, 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.

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 option exercises are retained by the Company.

The Company computes its deferred income tax provision using the liability method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, 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.

Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company’s employees participate in Clear Channel Communications’ employee benefit plans, including employee medical insurance and a 401(k) retirement benefit plan. These costs are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and were approximately $3.0 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Format of Presentation

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Our discussion is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis. Our reportable operating segments are Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas”) and International outdoor advertising (“International”).

We manage our operating segments primarily focusing on their operating income, while Corporate expenses, Other operating income, Interest expense, Equity in loss of nonconsolidated affiliates, Other income (expense) – net and Income tax benefit are managed on a total company basis and are, therefore, included only in our discussion of consolidated results.

Executive Summary

The key developments in our business for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 are summarized below:

•

Consolidated revenue increased $41.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2010.

•

Americas revenue increased $18.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2010, driven by revenue growth across most of our display types, particularly digital.

•

International revenue increased $23.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of increased street furniture sales and an increase from movements in foreign exchange.

Consolidated Revenue

Our consolidated revenue increased $41.4 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. Americas revenue increased $18.3 million driven by increases in revenue across most of our display types, particularly digital. Our International revenue increased $23.1 million, primarily due to $8.7 million from street furniture growth across most of our markets and an $8.0 million increase from movements in foreign exchange.

Consolidated Direct Operating Expenses

Direct operating expenses increased $12.5 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. Americas direct operating expenses increased $4.2 million primarily due higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue. Direct operating expenses in our International segment increased $8.3 million primarily from a $5.6 million increase from movements in foreign exchange.

Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

SG&A expenses increased $11.8 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. SG&A expenses increased $9.9 million in our Americas segment, partially as a result of increased commission expenses associated with the increase in revenue during 2011. In addition, 2010 Americas SG&A included a $3.8 million favorable litigation settlement. Our International SG&A expenses increased $1.9 million primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in administrative costs.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses increased $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million related to general corporate infrastructure support services and initiatives, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in expenses associated with our restructuring program.

Other Operating Income - Net

Other income of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 primarily related to proceeds received from condemnations of bulletins.

Other Income - Net

Other income of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 primarily related to a $3.3 million foreign exchange translation gain on short term intercompany accounts.

Income Tax Benefit

Our operations are included in a consolidated income tax return filed by CC Media Holdings, Inc. (“CC Media Holdings”). However, for our financial statements, our provision for income taxes was computed as if we file separate consolidated Federal income tax returns with our subsidiaries.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 68.3%. The effective rate was primarily impacted by our settlement of U.S. federal and state tax examinations during the quarter. Pursuant to the settlements, we recorded a reduction to income tax expense of approximately $3.3 million to reflect the net tax benefits of the settlements. In addition, the effective rate was impacted by our ability to benefit from certain tax loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions as a result of increased taxable income during 2011, where the losses previously did not provide a benefit.

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was 18.0%. The effective rate was impacted primarily by tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which benefits could not be recorded due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future years.

Americas Results of Operations

Our Americas operating results were as follows:


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,				%
	2011		2010		Change
Revenue	$	289,314	$	270,977		7	%
Direct operating expenses		143,491		139,308		3	%
SG&A expenses		54,367		44,477		22	%
Depreciation and amortization		51,086		49,451		3	%

Operating income	$	40,370	$	37,741		7	%

Our Americas revenue increased $18.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2010, driven by revenue growth across most of our display types. Bulletin revenues increased primarily due to digital growth driven by the increased number of digital displays. Airport and shelter revenues increased due to higher average rates as a result of improved economic conditions.

Direct operating expenses increased $4.2 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. The increase was primarily a result of increased site-lease costs driven by the increase in revenue. We also experienced an increase related to structure maintenance and electricity for new digital bulletins as well as existing displays. SG&A expenses increased $9.9 million in our Americas segment from an increase in commission costs associated with the increase in revenue during 2011and an increase in other administrative expenses. The first quarter of 2010 included a $3.8 million favorable litigation settlement.

International Results of Operations

Our International operating results were as follows:


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,						%
	2011			2010			Change
Revenue	$	360,900		$	337,791			7	%
Direct operating expenses		247,889			239,578			3	%
SG&A expenses		68,813			66,880			3	%
Depreciation and amortization		51,244			52,258			(2	%)

Operating loss	$	(7,046	)	$	(20,925	)		(66	%)

International revenue increased $23.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of growth in street furniture across most of our markets, particularly China and Sweden, as a result of improved economic conditions. Revenue growth was partially offset by lower revenues in France. Movements in foreign exchange resulted in an $8.0 million increase in revenues.

Direct operating expenses increased $8.3 million primarily attributable to higher direct production costs associated with the increase in revenue, and including a $5.6 million increase from movements in foreign exchange. SG&A expenses increased $1.9 million primarily due to increased administrative costs and a $1.6 million increase from movements in foreign exchange. These SG&A increases were partially offset by a $2.1 million reduction in restructuring expenses and business tax related to a change in French tax law.

This cost will be recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be satisfied.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Clear Channel Communications’ Merger

Clear Channel Communications, Inc.’s (“Clear Channel Communications”) capitalization, liquidity and capital resources substantially changed due to the consummation of its merger on July 30, 2008 with entities formed by private equity funds sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. Upon the closing of the merger, Clear Channel Communications incurred additional debt and became highly leveraged. We are not borrowers or guarantors under Clear Channel Communications’ credit agreements other than for direct borrowings by certain of our International subsidiaries under the $145.0 million sub-limit included in Clear Channel Communications’ $1.9 billion revolving credit facility and we are not a guarantor of Clear Channel Communications’ debt. The obligations of these International subsidiaries that are borrowers under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain of our material wholly-owned subsidiaries, and secured by substantially all of the assets of such borrowers and guarantors, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions. As of March 31, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under the $145.0 million sub-limit facility. Clear Channel Communications has borrowed the entire capacity.

Also, so long as Clear Channel Communications maintains a significant interest in us, pursuant to the Master Agreement between Clear Channel Communications and us, Clear Channel Communications will have the option to limit our ability to incur debt or issue equity securities, among other limitations, which could adversely affect our ability to meet our liquidity needs.

Cash Flows

The following discussion highlights our cash flow activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011			2010
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	39,463		$	111,104
Investing activities	$	(43,614	)	$	(57,974	)
Financing activities	$	(32,290	)	$	(70,466	)

Operating Activities

Our net loss, adjusted for $82.1 million of non-cash items, provided positive cash flows of $71.7 million during the first quarter of 2011. Our net loss, adjusted for $86.2 million of non-cash items, provided positive cash flows of $37.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $39.5 million compared to $111.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash generated by higher operating income compared to the prior year as a result of improved operating performance was offset by higher variable compensation payments in the first quarter of 2011 associated with our employee incentive programs based on 2010 operating performance.

Non-cash items affecting our net loss include depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes, gain on disposal of operating assets, provision for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates, amortization of deferred financing charges and note discounts – net and other reconciling items – net as presented on the face of the statement of cash flows.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities during the first quarter of 2011 primarily reflected capital expenditures of $46.4 million. We spent $32.4 million in our Americas segment primarily related to the construction of new billboards, and $14.0 million in our International segment primarily related to new billboard and street furniture contracts and renewals of existing contracts.

Net cash used for investing activities of $58.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily reflected capital expenditures of $49.3 million. We spent $24.7 million in our Americas segment primarily related to the construction of new billboards and $24.6 million in our International segment primarily related to new billboard and street furniture contracts and renewals of existing contracts.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities of $32.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily related to net transfers of cash to Clear Channel Communications which represents the activity in the “Due from/to Clear Channel Communications” account.

Net cash used for financing activities of $70.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflected payments on credit facilities and long-term debt of $29.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and net transfers to Clear Channel Communications of $37.2 million.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand and cash flow from operations. Based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our markets, we believe that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowing under the revolving promissory note with Clear Channel Communications will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other funding requirements for at least the next 12 months. In addition, we expect to be in compliance with the covenants governing our indebtedness in 2011. However, our anticipated results are subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants. In addition, our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions.

Furthermore, in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 6, 2011, Clear Channel Communications stated that it expects to be in compliance with the covenants in its material financing agreements in 2011. Clear Channel Communications similarly stated in such Quarterly Report that its anticipated results are also subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that actual results will be in compliance with the covenants. Moreover, Clear Channel Communications stated in such Quarterly Report that its ability to comply with the covenants in its material financing agreements may be affected by events beyond its control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. As discussed therein, the breach of any covenants set forth in Clear Channel Communications’ financing agreements would result in a default thereunder, and an event of default would permit the lenders under a defaulted financing agreement to declare all indebtedness thereunder to be due and payable prior to maturity. Moreover, as discussed therein, the lenders under the revolving credit facility under Clear Channel Communications’ senior secured credit facilities would have the option to terminate their commitments to make further extensions of revolving credit thereunder. In addition, Clear Channel Communications stated in such Quarterly Report that if Clear Channel Communications is unable to repay its obligations under any secured credit facility, the lenders could proceed against any assets that were pledged to secure such facility. Finally, Clear Channel Communications stated in such Quarterly Report that a default or acceleration under any of its material financing agreements could cause a default under other obligations that are subject to cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions.

For so long as Clear Channel Communications maintains significant control over us, a deterioration in the financial condition of Clear Channel Communications could have the effect of increasing our borrowing costs or impairing our access to capital markets. As of March 31, 2011, Clear Channel Communications had $1.5 billion recorded as “Cash and cash equivalents” on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We frequently evaluate strategic opportunities both within and outside our existing lines of business. We expect from time to time to pursue additional acquisitions and may decide to dispose of certain businesses. These acquisitions or dispositions could be material.

Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt service and other obligations depends on our future operating performance and cash flow. If our future operating performance does not meet our expectations or our plans materially change in an adverse manner or prove to be materially inaccurate, we may need additional financing. We may not be able to secure any such additional financing on terms favorable to us or at all.

SOURCES OF CAPITAL

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had the following debt outstanding, cash and cash equivalents and amounts due from Clear Channel Communications:


(In millions)	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings Senior Notes	$	2,500.0	$	2,500.0
Other debt		60.8		63.8

Total debt		2,560.8		2,563.8
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		591.6		624.0
Less: Due from Clear Channel Communications		408.9		383.8

	$	1,560.3	$	1,556.0

We may from time to time repay our outstanding debt or seek to purchase our outstanding equity securities. Such transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Bank Credit Facility ($145.0 million sub-limit within Clear Channel Communications’ $1.9 billion revolving credit facility)

In addition to cash flows from operations, another potential source of liquidity to us is through borrowings under a $145.0 million sub-limit included in Clear Channel Communications’ multicurrency $1.9 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity in July 2014. 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 obligations of these International subsidiaries that are borrowers under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain of our material wholly-owned subsidiaries, and secured by substantially all of the assets of such borrowers and guarantors, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions. As of March 31, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under the $145.0 million sub-limit facility. Clear Channel Communications has borrowed the entire capacity.

Promissory Notes with Clear Channel Communications

We maintain accounts that represent net amounts due to or from Clear Channel Communications, which is recorded as “Due from/to Clear Channel Communications” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accounts represent our revolving promissory note issued by us to Clear Channel Communications and the revolving promissory note issued by Clear Channel Communications to us in the face amount of $1.0 billion, or if more or less than such amount, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances. Included in the accounts are the net activities resulting from day-to-day cash management services provided by Clear Channel Communications. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the asset recorded in “Due from Clear Channel Communications” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $408.9 million and $383.8 million, respectively. At March 31, 2011, we had no borrowings under the cash management note to Clear Channel Communications.

The net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $9.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest rate on the “Due from Clear Channel Communications” account was 9.25%, which represents the fixed interest rate on the Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings Senior Notes.

Unlike the management of cash from our U.S. based operations, the amount of cash, if any, which is transferred from our foreign operations to Clear Channel Communications is determined on a basis mutually agreeable to us and Clear Channel Communications, and not on a pre-determined basis. In arriving at such mutual agreement, the reasonably foreseeable cash needs of our foreign operations are evaluated before a cash amount is considered as an excess or surplus amount for transfer to Clear Channel Communications.

Our working capital requirements and capital for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and capital expenditures, may be provided to us by Clear Channel Communications, in its sole discretion, pursuant to a revolving promissory note issued by us to Clear Channel Communications. Without the opportunity to obtain financing from Clear Channel Communications, we may need to obtain additional financing from banks or other lenders, or through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity, strategic relationships or other arrangements at some future date. As stated above, we may be unable to successfully obtain additional debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms or at all.

As long as Clear Channel Communications maintains a significant interest in us, pursuant to the Master Agreement between Clear Channel Communications and us, Clear Channel Communications will have the option to limit our ability to incur debt or issue equity securities, among other limitations, which could adversely affect our ability to meet our liquidity needs. Under the Master Agreement with Clear Channel Communications, we are limited in our borrowing from third parties to no more than $400.0 million (including borrowings under the $145.0 million sub-limit of Clear Channel Communications’ $1.9 billion revolving credit facility).

Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings Senior Notes

In December 2009, Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“CCWH”) issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series A Senior Notes due 2017 and $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Series B Senior Notes due 2017. The CCWH Notes are guaranteed by us, our subsidiary Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (“CCOI”), and certain of our other direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The Series A Notes indenture and the Series B Notes indenture restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit us to incur additional indebtedness based on an incurrence test. In order to incur additional indebtedness under this test, our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indentures) must be lower than 6.5:1 and 3.25:1 for total debt and senior debt, respectively. The indentures contain certain other exceptions that allow us to incur additional indebtedness. The Series B Notes indenture also permits us to pay dividends from the proceeds of indebtedness or the proceeds from asset sales if our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indenture) are lower than 6.0:1 and 3.0:1 for total debt and senior debt, respectively. The Series A Notes indenture does not limit our ability to pay dividends. The Series B Notes indenture contains certain exceptions that allow us to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends, including a $500 million exception for the payment of dividends. We were in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2011.

Consolidated leverage ratio, defined as total debt divided by EBITDA for the preceding four quarters was 3.5:1 at March 31, 2011, and senior leverage ratio, defined as senior debt divided by EBITDA for the preceding four quarters was also 3.5:1 at March 31, 2011. Our adjusted EBITDA of $739.4 million is calculated as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and other operating income (expense) – net, plus non-cash compensation, and is further adjusted for the following items: (i) an increase for expected cost savings (limited to $58.8 million in any twelve month period) of $0.0 million; (ii) an increase of $43.9 million for non-cash items; (iii) an increase of $21.1 million related to expenses incurred associated with our cost savings program; and (iv) an increase of $10.0 million for various other items.

Other Debt

Other debt consists primarily of loans with international banks. At March 31, 2011, approximately $60.8 million was outstanding as other debt.

The Clear Channel Communications’ $1.9 billion revolving credit facility contains a significant financial covenant which requires Clear Channel Communications to comply on a quarterly basis with a financial covenant limiting the ratio of its consolidated secured debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to consolidated EBITDA for the preceding four quarters (maximum of 9.5:1). The financial covenant becomes more restrictive over time beginning in the second quarter of 2013. In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 6, 2011, Clear Channel Communications stated that it was in compliance with this covenant as of March 31, 2011.

Clear Channel Communications’ Refinancing Transactions

During the first quarter of 2011 Clear Channel Communications amended its senior secured credit facilities and its receivables based credit facility (the “Amendments”) and issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 9.0% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021. Clear Channel Communications used a portion of the proceeds from the Priority Guarantee Notes offering to prepay $500.0 million of the indebtedness outstanding under its senior secured credit facilities. As a result of the prepayment, the revolving credit commitments under Clear Channel Communications’ revolving credit facility were permanently reduced from $2.0 billion to $1.9 billion and the sub-limit under which certain of our international subsidiaries may borrow (to the extent that Clear Channel Communications’ has not already borrowed against this capacity) was reduced from $150.0 million to $145.0 million. The Amendments, among other things, provide greater flexibility for us and our subsidiaries to incur new debt, provided that the net proceeds distributed to Clear Channel Communications from the issuance of such new debt are used to pay down senior secured credit facility indebtedness.

USES OF CAPITAL

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. 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.

Seasonality

Typically, both our Americas and International segments experience their lowest financial performance in the first quarter of the calendar year, with International historically experiencing a loss from operations in that period. Our Americas segment historically experiences consistent performance for the remainder of the calendar year. Our International segment typically experiences its strongest performance in the second and fourth quarters of the calendar year. We expect this trend to continue in the future.

MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in interest rates, equity security prices and foreign currency exchange rates.

Equity Price Risk

The carrying value of our available-for-sale equity securities is affected by changes in their quoted market prices. It is estimated that a 20% change in the market prices of these securities would change their carrying value and comprehensive loss at March 31, 2011 by $2.1 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have operations in countries throughout the world. Foreign operations are measured in their local currencies. 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 have operations. 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 net income of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We estimate a 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have increased our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 by approximately $0.4 million and that a 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have decreased our net loss by a corresponding amount.

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

Inflation

Inflation is a factor in the economies in which we do business and we continue to seek ways to mitigate its effect. Inflation has affected our performance in terms of higher costs for wages, salaries and equipment. Although the exact impact of inflation is indeterminable, we believe we have offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates of most of our outdoor display faces.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU updates Topic 805, Business Combinations, to specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments of this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-29 on January 1, 2011 without material impact to the Company’s disclosures.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING 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, without limitation, our future operating and financial performance, our ability to comply with covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness and availability of capital and the terms thereof. Statements expressing expectations and projections with respect to future matters are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution that these forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to many variables which could impact our future 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 performance. There can be no assurance, however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass. We do not intend, nor do we undertake any duty, to update any forward-looking statements.

A wide range of factors could materially affect future developments and performance, including:

•

risks associated with a global economic downturn and its impact on capital markets;

•

other general economic and political conditions in the United States and in other countries in which we currently do business, including those resulting from recessions, political events and acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts;

•

the impact of the geopolitical environment;

•

industry conditions, including competition;

•

legislative or regulatory requirements;

•

fluctuations in operating costs;

•

technological changes and innovations;

•

changes in labor conditions;

•

capital expenditure requirements;

•

fluctuations in exchange rates and currency values;

•

the outcome of pending and future litigation;

•

changes in interest rates;

•

taxes;

•

shifts in population and other demographics;

•

access to capital markets and borrowed indebtedness;

•

the risk that we may not be able to integrate the operations of acquired companies successfully;

•

the risk that our cost savings initiatives may not be entirely successful or that any cost savings achieved from those initiatives may not persist;

•

the effect of leverage on our financial position and earnings;

•

the impact of the above and similar factors on Clear Channel Communications, Inc., our primary direct or indirect external source of capital; and

•

certain other factors set forth in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative and is not intended to be exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Required information is presented under “Market Risk” within Item 2 of this Part I.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Office of the Chief Executive Officer (performing the functions of principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), we have carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Office of the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Office of the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, 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 currently are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business 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. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

On or about July 12, 2006 and April 12 2007, two of our operating businesses (L&C Outdoor Ltda. (“L&C”) and Publicidad Klimes Sao Paulo Ltda. (“Klimes”), respectively) in the Sao Paulo, Brazil market received notices of infraction from the state taxing authority, seeking to impose a value added tax (“VAT”) on such businesses, retroactively for the period from December 31, 2001 through January 31, 2006. The taxing authority contends that our businesses fall within the definition of “communication services” and as such are subject to the VAT.

We have filed separate petitions to challenge the imposition of this tax against each of our businesses. Our challenge for L&C was unsuccessful at the first administrative level, but successful at the second administrative level. The state taxing authority filed an appeal to the third and final administrative level, which required consideration by a full panel of 16 administrative law judges. On September 27, 2010, we received an unfavorable ruling at this final administrative level concluding that the VAT applied to L&C and intend to appeal this ruling to the judicial level. We have filed a petition to have the case remanded to the second administrative level for consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty assessed against us. The amounts allegedly owed by L&C are approximately $9.6 million in taxes, approximately $19.2 million in penalties and approximately $29.4 million in interest (as of March 31, 2011 at an exchange rate of 0.60). Based on our review of the law in and the outcome of similar cases in other Brazilian states, we have not accrued any costs related to these claims and believe the occurrence of loss is not probable.

Our challenge for Klimes was unsuccessful at the first administrative level, and denied at the second administrative level on or about September 24, 2009. On January 5, 2011, the administrative law judges at the third administrative level published a ruling that the VAT applies to Klimes but reduced the penalty assessed by the taxing authority. With the penalty reduction, the amounts allegedly owed by Klimes are approximately $10.9 million in taxes, approximately $5.4 million in penalties and approximately $18.2 million in interest (as of March 31, 2011 at an exchange rate of 0.60). In mid-January 2011, the taxing authority filed an extraordinary appeal to the third administrative level, asking that it reconsider the decision to reduce the penalty assessed against Klimes. The president of the third administrative level rejected that appeal. In late February 2011, we filed a writ of mandamus in the 13a lower public treasury court in São Paulo, State of São Paulo, appealing the administrative court’s decision that the VAT applies to Klimes. On that same day, we filed a motion for an injunction barring the taxing authority from collecting the tax, penalty and interest while the appeal is pending. The court denied the motion in early April 2011. We appealed the decision to the São Paulo State Higher Court, which affirmed in late April 2011. Based on our review of the law in and the outcome of similar cases in other Brazilian states, we have not accrued any costs related to these claims and believe the occurrence of loss is not probable.
