             SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (UNAUDITED)

                         MARCH 31, 1999

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, 1998.

     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 periods ended March 31, 1999 and 998.

     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
inter-company 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 1999 presentation.

INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method, or market.

                                       4
<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.

     No provision for income taxes has been made for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, as the Company does not expect to incur income
tax expense for fiscal year 1999 and did not incur income tax expense in fiscal
year 1998.

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 soundwall and Slenderwall(TM)
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.


                                   5

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.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Basic income per share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilutive effect of
securities that could share in earnings of an entity. At March 31, 1999, there
was no material dilutive effect on income per share.

                                6

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


GENERAL

     The Company generates revenues primarily from the sale, licensing, leasing,
shipping 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.

     In 1998, the Company began work on a contract to renovate the Bradley Hall
Building at Rutgers University (the "Bradley Hall project"). This project, which
is expected to be completed in mid-1999, involves the design, production and
installation of Slenderwall panels by the Company. While executing the Bradley
Hall project, the original structure was found to be not structurally sufficient
to support the installation of the Slenderwall panels as originally designed.
This lead to cost overruns relating to re-design of the panels, production of
the panels with additional steel and reinforcing, and installation costs.
Management estimates that the cost overruns over the course of the entire
project will total approximately $1.2 million and estimates that the total loss
on the job before recovery of any claims by the Company will be approximately
$1.1 million, which loss has been in its entirety as of December 31,
1998. The Company plans to file claims in 1999, for which notification has been
made, in the amount of $1.2 million. As of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999,
$400,000 of the contract claim has been included in sales and accounts
receivable. There can be no assurance that the loss will not exceed the $1.1
million estimate or that the Company will be able to collect any of its claim.

     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
three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the Company's operations for the year ending December 31, 1999. 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
Company's accounting policies and other risks detailed in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB and other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 1998

     For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company had total revenue of
$3,458,524 compared to total revenue of $3,026,660 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, an increase of $431,864 or 14%. Total product sales were
$2,669,489 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $2,567,972 for
the same period in 1998, an increase of $101,517 or 4%. Shipping and
installation revenue was $789,035 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
$458,688 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $330,347, or 72%. The
increase is attributable to the increase in 1999 sales of products requiring
installation, such as Slenderwall(TM) construction panels and Easi-Set precast
transportable buildings. Sales of Slenderwall panels doubled in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 compared to the comparable period of 1998 and sales of
transportable buildings increased 92% in the same period.

     Total cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$2,735,426, an increase of $520,363, or 23% from $2,215,063 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The increase was the result of increased revenue, a
significant increase in the sales of products requiring installation, and a
decrease in the profitability of shipping and installation services in the 1999
period. Total cost of goods sold, as a percentage of total revenue, increased to
79% for the three months ended March 31, 1999, from 73% for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 primarily due to the increase in less profitable shipping
and installation services. The cost of shipping and installation services
averaged 86% of shipping and installation revenue in the 1999 period compared to
74% in the comparable period of 1998. The cost of products sold averaged 77% of
product sales in the 1999 period compared to 73% of product sales in the
comparable 1998 period.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company's general and
administrative expenses decreased $85,653, or 15%, to $482,158 from $567,811
during the same period in 1998. The majority of the decrease was attributed to
two factors. The first factor was an accrual of approximately $35,000 to
recognize the liability for use tax accrued in the first quarter of 1998 as a
result of a routine Virginia State sales and use tax audit which was not
repeated in the first quarter of 1999. The second factor was a decrease in a
bonus pay accrual of approximately $42,000 in 1999 compared to 1998.

     Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999
increased $10,359 to $159,775 from $149,416 for the three months ended March 31,
1998, primarily as a result of increases in advertising and salaries and related
fringe benefits.

     The Company's operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1999
was $81,165, compared to operating income of $94,370 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, a decrease of $13,205, or 14%. The operating income reduction
resulted primarily from an 11% decrease in gross profit, offset somewhat by a
10% decrease in operating expenses.

     Royalty income totaled $50,569 for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $38,451 for the same three months in 1998. The increase of $12,118,
or 31%, was due to a higher volume of product sales by licensees.

     Interest expense was $118,572 for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $94,057 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase of
$24,515, or 26%, was primarily due to a 64% increase in total debt to $4,747,773
at March 31, 1999 compared to a total of $2,948,600 at March 31, 1998. This
increase was offset to some extent by lower interest rates in 1999.

     Net income was $28,121 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared
to $62,920 for the same period in 1998. Net income per share for the 1999 three
month period was $0.01 compared to net income per share of $0.02 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has financed its capital expenditures, operating requirements
and growth to date primarily with proceeds from operations, its initial public
offering ("IPO") and bank and other borrowings. The Company had $4,747,773 of
indebtedness at March 31, 1999, of which $621,311 was scheduled to mature within
twelve months.

     In June 1998, the Company successfully restructured substantially all of
its debt into one $4,000,000 note with First International Bank ("FIB"),
formerly the First National Bank of New England. The Company closed on this loan
on June 25, 1998. The Company obtained a twenty three year term on this note at
1.5% above prime, secured by equipment and real estate. The term of the note
improved the Company's current debt ratio and debt service. In addition to
paying off current debt of approximately $3.0 million, the Company received
approximately $832,000 in restricted funds, to be used only for plant expansion
and new equipment. The loan is guaranteed, in part, by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Rural Business-Cooperative Service. Under the terms of the note, the
Company's unfinanced fixed asset expenditures are limited to $300,000 per year
for a five year period. In addition, FIB will permit chattel mortgages on
purchased equipment not to exceed $200,000 on an annual basis so long as the
Company is not in default. The Company was also granted a $500,000 operating
line of credit by FIB. This commercial revolving promissory note, which carries
a variable interest rate of 1% above prime and which was originally scheduled to
terminate on May 1, 1999, was recently extended for sixty days. The Company
expects to refinance, extend and/or term the line of credit upon its extended
maturity date. 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 FIB.

                                    9
<PAGE>

     Capital spending increased to $352,855 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999
from $76,263 in the comparable period of the prior year, primarily for the
completion of a 16,000 square foot plant addition to its facility in Midland,
Virginia. This plant addition was financed primarily with restricted funds
received in 1998 as part of the $4,000,000 FIB loan as mentioned above. Planned
capital expenditures for 1999 are limited as stated above by the FIB loan
agreement. No other significant cash commitments for capital expenditures are
planned in 1999.

     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.

     The Company's cash flow from operations is affected by production schedules
set by contractors, which generally provide for payment 45 to 75 days after the
products are produced. This payment schedule has resulted in liquidity problems
for the Company because it must bear the cost of production for its products
long before it receives payment. In addition the Company's cash flow has been
significantly effected by the loss on the Bradley Hall project. Due to the
significant costs required to continue the Bradley Hall project and to fund
ongoing commitments, the Company entered into a working agreement with the
general contractor of the project to finance certain costs, at cost plus 10%,
through completion of the project. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the
general contractor on the project temporarily assumed responsibility for
installation and other expenses in connection with the project totaling
$335,380, including the 10% surcharge. The schedule for repayment of these
liabilities by the Company to the general contractor has not yet been finalized.
In the event cash flow from operations and existing credit facilities are not
adequate to support operations, the Company is currently investigating
alternative sources of both short-term and long-term financing, for which there
can be no assurance of obtaining.

OTHER COMMENTS

     The Company has not completed its assessment of the effect of the year
2000 on the Company's data processing systems and operations, but the Company
expects that the costs incurred in the preparation for the year 2000 will not
have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow or results of operations.
The Company is planning to replace its purchasing, inventory and accounting
systems prior to January 1, 2000 to improve the accuracy and timeliness of
internal reporting and will take the necessary steps to ensure that the new
systems will be year 2000 compliant. The Company expects to use standard
off-the-shelf software and does not plan to customize the software in any way.
The Company is currently planning to send questionnaires to its suppliers and
customers to ensure that they are taking steps to be year 2000 compliant.
However, if the Company, and third parties on which it relies, are unable to
address this issue in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial
risk to the Company. In order to assure this does not occur, the Company plans
to devote all resources required to resolve any significant year 2000 issues in
a timely manner.

     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 traditionally 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

                                  10

capital to fund its operations at a reduced level until the spring construction
season. However, as of the date of this filing, the Company's backlog was
approximately $4.8 million, of which $660,000 represents firm contracts for
Slenderwall(TM) and architectural pre-cast concrete products. The majority of
the projects relating to this backlog are contracted to be constructed in 1999.

     The Company has recently been notified by NASDAQ that its securities are
currently being reviewed for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market eligibility
requirements. As of the date of this filing, the Company was not in compliance
with all applicable requirements and the Company believes that it will have
difficulty meeting all the current requirements. In particular, the minimum bid
price requirement ($1) and the net asset requirement (minimum of $2,000,000) are
not currently being met. The Company must either meet such requirements or
request a hearing (which will stay delisting beyond June 2, 1999).

     Management believes that the Company's operations have not been materially
affected by inflation.
