SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 1997
Basis of Presentation
As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, these notes are
condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Smith-Midland Corporation's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB, for the year ended December 31, 1996.
In the opinion of management of Smith-Midland Corporation (the "Company"),
the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments which were of a
normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
1997 and 1996.
The results disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Smith-Midland Corporation, a Delaware corporation and its wholly
owned subsidiaries: Smith-Midland Corporation, a Virginia corporation; Easi-Set
Industries, Inc., a Virginia corporation; Smith-Carolina Corporation, a North
Carolina corporation; Concrete Safety Systems, Inc., a Virginia corporation; and
Midland Advertising & Design, Inc., a Virginia corporation. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method, or market.
<PAGE>
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, net is stated at depreciated cost. Expenditures for
ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Costs of
betterments, renewals, and major replacements are capitalized. At the time
properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and allowance
for depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss on
disposition is reflected in income.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings....................................................... 10-33
Trucks and automotive equipment................................. 3-10
Shop machinery and equipment.................................... 3-10
Land improvements............................................... 10-30
Office equipment................................................ 3-10
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on earnings reported in the
financial statements. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by
applying currently enacted tax laws and rates to the expected reversal of the
cumulative temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and
liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred income tax
expense is measured by the change in the deferred income tax asset or liability
during the year.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes." The adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements as the deferred tax asset related to the
Company's net operating loss carry forward has been reserved in its entirety. No
provision for income taxes has been made for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, as the Company does not expect to incur
income tax expense for fiscal year 1997 and did not incur income tax expense in
fiscal year 1996.
Revenue Recognition
The Company primarily recognizes revenue on the sale of its standard
precast concrete products at shipment date, including revenue derived from any
projects to be completed under short-term contracts. Installation services for
precast concrete products, leasing and royalties are recognized as revenue as
they are earned on an accrual basis. Licensing fees are recognized under the
accrual method unless collectibility is in doubt, in which event revenue is
recognized as cash is received. Certain sales of sound wall and SlenderwallTM
concrete products are recognized upon completion of production and customer site
inspections. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts are made in the period
in which such losses are determined.

(Unaudited)
Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Per Share
Income per share is calculated based on net income and the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Common Stock Offering
In December 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO")
of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), and 1,000,000 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the
"Warrants"), at a purchase price of $3.60 per share of Common Stock and Warrant
sold together. The Company realized net proceeds from the IPO of approximately
$2,618,000. In January 1996, the Company completed an overallotment of an
additional 150,000 shares of Common Stock and 150,000 Warrants for net proceeds
of approximately $396,000.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
General
The Company generates revenues primarily from the sale, shipping,
licensing, leasing and installation of precast concrete products for the
construction, utility and farming industries. The Company's operating strategy
has involved producing innovative and proprietary products, including
Slenderwall(TM), a patent-pending, lightweight, energy efficient concrete and
steel exterior wall panel for use in building construction; J-J Hooks(TM)
Highway Safety Barrier, a patented, positive-connected highway safety barrier;
Sierra Wall, a sound barrier primarily for roadside use; and transportable
concrete buildings. In addition, the Company produces utility vaults, farm
products such as cattleguards, and water and feed troughs, and custom order
precast concrete products with various architectural surfaces.
This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements which involve risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from
the results discussed in the forward-looking statements and the results for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the Company's operations for the year ending December 31, 1997. Factors that
might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, product demand,
the impact of competitive products and pricing, capacity and supply constraints
or difficulties, general business and economic conditions, the effect of the
Companies accounting policies and other risks detailed in the Company's Annual
Report, Form 10-KSB and other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended June
30, 1996
For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company had total revenue of
approximately $3,538,000 compared to total revenue of approximately $3,164,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $374,000,
or 12%. Total product sales were approximately $3,164,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, a $344,000 increase over approximately $2,820,000 for the
same period in 1996. The increase in sales revenue was primarily the result of
increased soundwall sales during the 1997 period. Shipping and installation
revenue increased from approximately $344,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1996 to approximately $374,000 for the same period in 1997, representing an
increase of $30,000, or 9% due to an increase in installation contracts.
<PAGE>
Total cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased
by approximately $166,000 to approximately $2,596,000 from approximately
$2,430,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, representing an 7%
increase, primarily the result of increased revenue. Total cost of goods sold,
as a percentage of total revenue, decreased from approximately 77% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, to approximately 73% for the three months ended June
30, 1997. In addition to production efficiencies experienced during the three
months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's cost of goods sold as a percentage of
total revenue decreased due in part to approximately $120,000 in product remakes
and repairs performed during the 1996 quarter which were not performed during
the 1997 quarter.
For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's general and
administrative expenses decreased by approximately $3,000 to approximately
$577,000, or 16% of total revenue, from approximately $580,000, or 18% of total
revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 decreased to
approximately $116,000 from approximately $181,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, a decrease of approximately $65,000, or 36%, resulting from
decreased compensation and advertising expense .
The Company's operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was
approximately $247,000, compared to an operating loss of approximately $27,000,
for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $274,000.
This increase in operating income was primarily attributed to a lower cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenue, offset somewhat by an increase in
operating expenses.
Royalty income decreased by approximately $29,000 from approximately
$74,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $45,000 for
the same period in 1997. This was attributed to the fact that during the 1996
period, one of the Company's licensees had a major contract for J-J Hook
Barrier.
Interest expense was approximately $93,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997, compared to approximately $135,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1996. This decrease of approximately $42,000, or 31%, was primarily due to an
improved overall rate of interest paid on outstanding debt. Interest income of
approximately $25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 represented an
increase of approximately $17,000, or 212% over interest income of approximately
$8,000 for the 1996 period. This increase was attributed to interest earned on
higher investment balances during the 1996 period, more than offset by the
recognition of interest income on the officer note receivable during the 1997
period. The Company incurred other expense, net of other income, of
approximately $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to
other income, net of other expense, of approximately $30,000 for the same period
in 1996.
<PAGE>
The Company experienced net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 of
approximately $204,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $49,000 for the
same period in 1996. The increased net income of approximately $253,000 was
primarily attributed to a lower cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue
and lower interest expense, offset somewhat by an increase in operating expenses
and lower royalty income.
Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company had total revenue of
approximately $5,618,000 compared to total revenue of approximately $5,271,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $347,000,
or 7%. Total product sales were approximately $4,951,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, a $240,000 increase over approximately $4,711,000 for the
same period in 1996. The increase in sales revenue was primarily the result of
increased soundwall sales during the 1997 period. Shipping and installation
revenue increased from approximately $560,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 to approximately $667,000 for the same period in 1997, representing an
increase of $107,000, or 19% as a result of an increase in installation
contracts.
The Company increased its sales activity 167% by bringing approximately
$8.9 million in product sales orders under contract during the seven-month
period ended July 31, 1997. This represented a $5.6 million increase over
approximately $3.3 million in sales contracts signed during the same seven-month
period in 1996.
Total cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased
from approximately $4,423,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
approximately $4,150,000 for the same period in 1997, representing a decrease of
approximately $273,000, or 6%. Total cost of goods sold, as a percentage of
total revenue, decreased from approximately 84% for the six months ended June
30, 1996, to approximately 74% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. In
addition to production efficiencies experienced during the six months ended June
30, 1997, the Company's cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue
decreased due in part to approximately $210,000 in product remakes and repairs
performed during the 1996 period which were not performed during the 1997
period.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's general and
administrative expenses decreased by approximately $17,000, or 2%, to
approximately $1,054,000, or 19% of total revenue, from approximately
$1,071,000, or 20% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased to
approximately $292,000 from approximately $332,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, a decrease of approximately $40,000, or 12%, resulting from decreased
compensation and advertising expense.
<PAGE>
The Company's operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
approximately $123,000, compared to an operating loss of approximately $554,000,
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $677,000.
This increase in operating income was primarily attributed to a lower cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenue.
Royalty income decreased by approximately $52,000 from approximately
$132,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $80,000 for the
same period in 1997. This was attributed to the fact that during the 1996
period, one of the Company's licensees had a major contract for J-J Hook
Barrier.
Interest expense was approximately $197,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997, compared to approximately $243,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996. This decrease of approximately $46,000, or 19%, was primarily due to an
improved overall rate of interest paid on outstanding debt. Interest income of
approximately $26,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 represented a
decrease of approximately $11,000, or 30% over interest income of approximately
$37,000 for the 1996 period. This decrease was attributed to interest earned on
higher investment balances during the 1996 period, offset somewhat by the
recognition of interest income on the officer note receivable during the 1997
period. The Company incurred other income, net of other expense, of
approximately $11,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to other
expense, net of other income, of approximately $1,000 for the same period in
1996.
The Company experienced net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997
of approximately $43,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $631,000 for
the same period in 1996. The increased net income of approximately $674,000 was
primarily attributed to a decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of
revenue and a decrease in interest expense, a decrease in operating expenses,
offset somewhat by a decrease in royalty income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its capital expenditures, operating
requirements and growth to date primarily with proceeds from its initial public
offering ("IPO") and subsequent overallotment, bank and other borrowings, and
the sale of stock to and loans from its principal stockholders.
The Company had approximately $3,088,000 of indebtedness at June 30, 1997,
of which approximately $2,216,000 was scheduled to mature within twelve months.
Included in the indebtedness were two notes totaling approximately $1,117,000,
secured by assets of the Company, that matured in July 1997 and were not paid by
the Company and management is currently negotiating extension agreements on
these two notes. The Company's debt is generally secured by the assets of the
Company and a significant portion is personally guaranteed by the Company's
President. In the context of a forward-looking statement, management is
confident that the Company will be able to extend or refinance this debt as it
becomes due. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be
successful in its efforts to extend or refinance its current indebtedness, or
that if it is successful in those efforts, that such extension or refinancing
will be on terms favorable to the Company. In the event that the Company was not
able to extend or refinance the indebtedness, the Company may be subject to
having its assets foreclosed upon by certain lenders.
As a result of the Company's substantial debt burden, the Company is
especially sensitive to changes in the prevailing interest rates. Fluctuations
in such interest rates may materially and adversely affect the Company's ability
to finance its operations either by increasing the Company's cost to service its
current debt, or by creating a more burdensome refinancing environment, if
interest rates should increase.
Seasonality and Inflation
The Company performs a portion of its concrete pouring and curing processes
on uncovered, outdoor manufacturing areas. During the winter months, cold or
adverse weather causes a slowdown or cessation of these outdoor production
activities, thereby severely reducing the Company's production capacity. In
addition, the Company services the construction industry primarily in areas of
the United States where construction activity is inhibited by adverse weather
during the winter. As a result, the Company experiences reduced revenues from
December through March and realizes the substantial part of its revenues during
the other months of the year. The Company typically experiences lower profits,
or losses, during the winter months, and must have sufficient working capital to
fund its operations at a reduced level until the spring construction season.
Management believes that the Company's operations have not been materially
affected by inflation.
