Foster's wholly owned subsidiary and herein "L.B.

These contracts allow various federal government agencies to purchase these buildings under favorable terms from the Company.

"Our concrete restrooms are fabricated with high strength precast concrete to meet all local building codes and textured to match local architectural details. All of our buildings are designed to meet A.D.A. requirements and to withstand snow, wind and zone-4 seismic loads. The all-concrete construction also makes the buildings easy to maintain and withstand vandalism. The Company's various restrooms, showers and concession buildings are available in multiple designs, textures and colors and delivered complete and ready-to-use, including plumbing and electrical where applicable. With over 10,000 installations nationwide, we believe that we are the leader in prefabricated concrete restrooms."

In turn, we can process and expedite their orders very efficiently. We view the federal government as a key customer of our go-to-market strategy to aggressively grow our business in the future." The Company also has numerous state contracts which allow various state and local agencies to purchase directly from them as well. The Company manufactures these precast concrete buildings at facilities in Spokane, WA and Hillsboro, TX. L.B.
