Year Ended December 31, 2011

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of approximately $23,497 in cash.

Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary fair market value estimates at the dates of acquisition. The allocations are pending final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions.

	Total
Property, plant and equipment	$	12,319
Goodwill		775
Site locations		8,147
Non-competition agreements		101
Customer lists and contracts		2,010
Other asset		356
Current liabilities		(211	)
	$	23,497

Total acquired intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $11,033, of which $775 was assigned to goodwill. Although goodwill is not amortized for financial statement purposes, substantially all of the $775 is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The remaining $10,258 of acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $2,010 (7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $8,147 (15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2011 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $358.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the Company gives effect to the 2011 and 2010 acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2010. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the acquisitions occurred on such date or to project the Company’s results of operations for any future period.
