Other Inventory
The balance of our display inventory consists of spectaculars, mall displays and wallscapes. Spectaculars are
customized display structures that often incorporate video, multidimensional lettering and figures, mechanical devices
and moving parts and other embellishments to create special effects. The majority of our spectaculars are located in
Dundas Square in Toronto, Times Square and Penn Plaza in New York City, Fashion Show in Las Vegas, Sunset Strip
in Los Angeles and across from the Target Center in Minneapolis. Client contracts for spectaculars typically have terms
of one year or longer. We also own displays located within the common areas of malls on which our clients run
advertising campaigns for periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Contracts with mall operators grant us the
exclusive right to place our displays within the common areas and sell advertising on those displays. Our contracts with
mall operators generally have terms ranging from five to ten years. Client contracts for mall displays typically have
terms ranging from six to eight weeks. A wallscape is a display that drapes over or is suspended from the sides of
buildings or other structures. Generally, wallscapes are located in high-profile areas where other types of outdoor
advertising displays are limited or unavailable. Clients typically contract for individual wallscapes for extended terms.
