PART I
 
Item 1.
Description of Business

General

Smith-Midland Corporation (the "Company") invents, develops, manufactures, markets, leases, licenses, sells, and installs a broad array of precast concrete products for use primarily in the construction, utilities and farming industries. The Company's customers are primarily general contractors and federal, state, and local transportation authorities located in the Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern, and Midwestern regions of the United States. The Company's operating strategy has involved producing innovative and proprietary products, including SlenderwallÔ, a patented, lightweight, energy efficient concrete and steel exterior wall panel for use in building construction; J-J HooksÔ Highway Safety Barrier, a patented, positive-connected highway safety barrier; Sierra Wall, a sound barrier primarily for roadside use; and Easi-Set® transportable concrete buildings, also patented. In addition, the Company produces custom order precast concrete products with various architectural surfaces, as well as, generic highway sound barriers, utility vaults, and farm products such as cattleguards and water and feed troughs.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on August 2, 1994. Prior to a corporate reorganization completed in October 1994, the Company conducted its business primarily through Smith-Midland Virginia, which was incorporated in 1960 as Smith Cattleguard Company, a Virginia corporation, and which subsequently changed its name to Smith-Midland Corporation in 1985. The Company’s principal offices are located at 5119 Catlett Road, Midland, Virginia 22728 and its telephone number is (540) 439-3266. As used in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the term the “Company” refers to Smith-Midland Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries consist of Smith-Midland Corporation, a Virginia corporation, Smith-Carolina Corporation, a North Carolina corporation, Easi-Set Industries, Inc., a Virginia corporation, Concrete Safety Systems, Inc., a Virginia corporation, Midland Advertising and Design, Inc., a Virginia corporation doing business as Adventures, and Smith-Columbia Corporation, a South Carolina corporation.
 
Market

The Company's market primarily consists of general contractors performing public and private construction contracts, including the construction of commercial buildings, public and private roads and highways, and airports; municipal utilities; and federal, state, and local transportation authorities, primarily located in the Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern, and Midwestern states. Due to the lightweight characteristics of the SlenderwallÔ exterior cladding system, the Company has expanded its competitive service area into the Midwestern and Southeastern states. The Company also licenses its proprietary products to precast concrete manufacturers nationwide and in Canada, Belgium, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, and Spain.

The precast concrete products market is affected by the cyclical nature of the construction industry. In addition, the demand for construction varies depending upon weather conditions, the availability of financing at reasonable interest rates, overall fluctuations in the national and regional economies, past overbuilding, labor relations in the construction industry, and the availability of material and energy supplies. A substantial portion of the Company's business is derived from local, state, and federal building projects, which are further dependent upon budgets and, in many cases, voter-approved bonds.

Products

Precast concrete products are cast at a manufacturing facility and delivered to a site for installation, as contrasted to ready-mix concrete, which is produced in a "batch plant," put into a mixer truck where it is mixed thoroughly and delivered to a construction site to be poured and set at the site. Precast concrete products are used primarily as parts of buildings or highway structures, and may be used architecturally, as in a decorative wall of a building, or structurally. Structural uses include building walls, frames, floors, or roofs. The Company currently manufactures and sells a wide variety of products for use in the construction, transportation and utility industries.

Easi-Set SlenderwallÔ Lightweight Construction Panels

Each SlenderwallÔ system is a prefabricated, energy-efficient, lightweight exterior cladding system that is offered as a cost-effective alternative to the traditional, piecemeal construction of the exterior walls of buildings. The Company's Slenderwall system combines the essential components of a wall system into a single unit ready for interior dry wall mounting immediately upon installation. The base design of each Slenderwall panel consists of a galvanized or stainless steel stud frame with an exterior sheath of approximately two-inch thick, steel-reinforced, high-density, precast concrete, with various available architectural surfaces. The exterior concrete sheath is attached to the interior frame by strategically placed epoxy coated steel connectors that suspend the exterior concrete approximately one-half inch away from the steel frame.

SlenderwallÔ panels are approximately one-half the weight of brick walls of equivalent size, permanence and durability. This lighter weight translates into reduced construction costs resulting from less onerous structural and foundation requirements as well as lower shipping costs. Additional savings result from reduced installation time and ease of erection and from the use of smaller cranes for installation.

The Company custom designs and manufactures each SlenderwallÔ exterior cladding system. The exterior of the SlenderwallÔ system can be produced in a variety of attractive architectural finishes, such as concrete, exposed stone, granite or thin brick.

Easi-Set Sierra WallÔ

The Easi-Set Sierra WallÔ (the "Sierra Wall") combines the strength and durability of precast concrete with a variety of finishes to provide an effective and attractive sound and sight barrier for use around residential, industrial, and commercial properties and alongside highways. With additional reinforcement, the Sierra WallÔ can also be used as a retaining wall to retain earth in both highway and residential construction. The Sierra WallÔ is typically constructed of four-inch thick, steel-reinforced concrete panels that are securely joined at an integral column by a tongue and groove connection system. This tongue and groove connection system makes the Sierra WallÔ easy to install and move if boundaries change or highways are relocated after the completion of a project.
 
4

 
The Company custom designs and manufactures each Sierra WallÔ to conform to the specifications provided by the contractor. The width, height, strength, and exterior finish of each wall vary depending on the terrain and application. In addition, the Company offers increased noise abatement benefits through the use of DuriSol®, an optional, durable and patented sound-absorbing material that can be cast onto the exterior of the Sierra WallÔ. The Company was a party to a licensing agreement with DuriSol Resource, Inc. of Ontario, Canada, permitting the Company to utilize the DuriSol® sound-absorbing technology until December 31, 2003. The License Agreement between Durisol Resource Inc. and the Company expired on December 31, 2003 and was not renewed. At this time the Company may manufacture DuriSol® products on a project-by-project basis. DuriSol® must first authorize each project. Durisol Resource Inc. is in negotiations with the Company to work out a new relationship, which is expected to be restricted to manufacturing on a project-by-project basis at Durisol Resource, Inc.'s option. The Company negotiates royalties, fees, and cost of wood shavings prior to bidding of each project. In the event that the Company would be prevented from using the Durisol technology on future projects, revenues from Sierra WallÔ may be adversely affected.

The Sierra WallÔ is used primarily for highway projects as a noise barrier as well as for residential purposes, such as privacy walls between homes, security walls or windbreaks, and for industrial or commercial purposes, such as to screen and protect shopping centers, industrial operations, institutions or highways. The variety of available finishes enables the Company to blend the Sierra WallÔ with local architecture, creating an attractive, as well as functional, barrier.

Easi-Set J-J HooksÔ Highway Safety Barrier

The Easi-Set J-J HooksÔ highway safety barrier (the "J-J Hooks Barrier") is a crash-tested and patented, positively connected, safety barrier that the Company sells, rents, delivers, installs and licenses for use on roadways to separate lanes of traffic, either temporarily for construction work zone purposes or permanently for traffic control. Barriers are deemed to be positively connected when the connectors on each end of the barrier sections are interlocked with one another. The J-J Hooks Barriers interlock without the use of a separate locking device. The primary advantage of a positive connection is that a barrier with such a connection can withstand vehicle crashes at higher speeds without separating. The Federal Highway Administration (the "FHWA") requires that states use only positively connected barriers, which meet NCHRP-350 test level 3 crash test requirements. J-J Hooks Barrier meets the requirements and is NCHRP-350 approved. The Company has recently filed for a provisional patent which contains a modified and improved J-J Hooks connection system. It describes a taller Hook coupled with deflection limitation blocks which will improve the J-J Hooks connection performance.

The proprietary feature of the J-J Hooks Barrier is the design of its positive connection. Protruding from each end of a J-J Hooks Barrier section is a fabricated bent steel connector, rolled in toward the end of the barrier (it resembles the letter "J" when viewed from directly above). The connector protruding from each end of the barrier is rolled identically so that when one end of a barrier faces the end of another, the resulting "hooks" face each other. To connect one section of a J-J Hooks Barrier to another, a contractor merely positions the hook of an elevated section of the barrier above the hook of a set section and lowers the elevated section into place. The positive connection is automatically engaged.
 
5

 
The Company believes that the J-J Hooks Barrier connection design is superior to those of earlier highway safety barriers that were positively connected through the "eye and pin" technique. Barriers incorporating this technique have eyes or rings protruding from each end of the barrier, which must be aligned during the setting process. Once set, a crew inserts pins through the eyes and bolts the barrier sections together. Compared to this technique, the J-J Hooks Barrier is easier and faster to install and remove, requires a smaller crew, and eliminates the need for loose hardware to make the connection.

In November 1990, the FHWA approved the J-J Hooks Barrier for use on federally aided highway projects following the successful completion of crash testing based on criteria from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. The J-J Hooks Barrier has also been approved for use in state funded projects by 41 states, plus Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. The Company is in various stages of the application process in 9 states and believes that approval in some of the states will be granted; however no assurance can be given that approval will be received from any or all of the remaining states or that such approval will result in the J-J Hooks Barrier being used in such states. In addition, the J-J Hooks Barrier has been approved by the appropriate authorities for use in the countries of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany and Chile.

Easi-Set Precast Building and Easi-SpanÔ

The Easi-Set Precast Building is a transportable, prefabricated, single-story, concrete utility building designed to be adaptable to a variety of uses ranging from housing communications operations, traffic control systems, mechanical and electrical stations, to inventory or supply storage, restroom facilities or kiosks. The Easi-Set Precast Building is available in a variety of exterior finishes and in five standard sizes, or it can be custom sized. The roof and floor of each Easi-Set Precast Building are manufactured using the Company's patented post-tensioned system, which helps seal the buildings against moisture. As a freestanding unit, the Easi-Set Precast Building requires no poured foundations or footings and can be easily installed within a few hours. After installation the building can be moved, if desired, and reinstalled in a new location.

The Company also offers Easi-SpanÔ, a line of expandable precast concrete buildings. Easi-SpanÔ is identical to and incorporates the technology of the Easi-Set Precast Building, but is available in larger sizes and, through its modular construction, can be combined in varied configurations to permit expansion capabilities.

The Company has sold its Easi-Set and Easi-SpanÔ Precast Buildings for the following uses:

·  
Communications Operations -- to house fiber optics regenerators, switching stations and microwave transmission shelters, cellular phone sites, and cable television repeater stations.

·  
Government Applications -- to federal, state and local authorities for uses such as weather and pollution monitoring stations; military storage, housing and operations; park vending enclosures; rest rooms; kiosks; traffic control systems; school maintenance and athletic storage; airport lighting control and transmitter housing; and law enforcement evidence and ammunition storage.
 
6

 
·  
Utilities Installations -- for electrical switching stations and transformer housing, gas control shelters and valve enclosures, water and sewage pumping stations, and storage of contaminated substances or flammable materials which require spill containment.

·  
Commercial and Industrial Locations -- for electrical and mechanical housing, cemetery maintenance storage, golf course vending enclosures, mechanical rooms, rest rooms, emergency generator shelters, gate houses, automobile garages, hazardous materials storage, food or bottle storage, animal shelters, and range houses.

Easi-Set Utility Vault

The Company produces a line of precast concrete underground utility vaults ranging in size from 27 to 1,008 cubic feet. Each Easi-Set utility vault normally comes with a manhole opening on the top for ingress and egress and openings around the perimeter, in accordance with the customer's specifications, to access water and gas pipes, electrical power lines, telecommunications cables, or other such media of transfer. The utility vaults may be used to house equipment such as cable, telephone or traffic signal equipment, and for underground storage. The Company also manufactures custom-built utility vaults for special needs.

Beach PrismsTM
 
In 2006, the Company began production and launched full-scale advertising and promotional efforts for its newest product, Beach Prisms™, a shoreline erosion control product that uses the preferred natural "soft" approach as opposed to the "hard" approach of seawalls and jetties, to solve this worldwide problem. This product is expected to provide a higher margin than many of the Company’s other products lines. Beach Prisms™ work by reducing the amount of energy in incoming waves before the waves reach the shoreline. Waves pass through the specially designed slots in the triangular 3 - 4 foot tall by 10 foot long Beach Prisms™. The success of a Beach Prisms ™ installation is dependent on the prevailing wind in relation to the shoreline, the tides, the fetch and the availability of sand in the surf. Beach Prisms ™ are for river- and bay-front property owners who want an alternative to traditional armor stone, or groins and jetties.
 
H2OutTM

In 2006, the Company completed research and development and a patent application was submitted to the US Patent Office for H2Out™, the first "in the caulk joint" secondary drainage and street level leak detection product for panelized exterior cladding. A second line of caulking and drainage strip located behind the exterior line of caulking exits all water leakage to the exterior of the building preventing moisture and mold, and hence detering lawsuits from tenants and owners of buildings. H2Out™ is currently ready for production and implementation and the Company has received many inquiries for this new innovative product.
 
7

 
Although the Company is optimistic about the success of Beach Prisms ™and H2Out™, there can be no assurance of the commercial acceptance of this product.

Sources of Supply

All of the raw materials necessary for the manufacture of the Company's products are available from multiple sources. To date, the Company has not experienced significant delays in obtaining materials and believes that it will continue to be able to obtain required materials from a number of suppliers at commercially reasonable prices.

Licensing

The Company presently grants licenses, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Easi-Set Industries, for the manufacturing and distribution rights of certain proprietary products, such as the J-J HooksTM barrier, Easi-SetTM and Easi-SpanTM Precast Buildings, SlenderwallTM and Beach PrismsTM as well as certain non-proprietary products, such as the Company's cattleguards, and water and feed troughs. Generally, licenses are granted for a point of manufacture. The Company receives an initial one-time license administration and training fee ranging from approximately $25,000 to $50,000. License royalties vary depending upon the product licensed, but the range is typically from 4% to 6% of the net sales of the licensed product. In addition, Easi-SetTM, Easi-SpanTM and SlenderwallTM licensees pay the Company a flat monthly fee for co-op advertising and promotion programs. The Company produces and distributes advertising materials and promotes the licensed products through its own advertising subsidiary, AdVentures.

The Company has entered into 34 licensing agreements in the United States; has established three licensees in Canada; one each in Belgium, New Zealand and Mexico; and sub-licensees in Canada and Australia, for a total of 43 total licensees worldwide.

The Company is currently negotiating several new license arrangements and, although no assurance can be given, expects to increase its licensing activities. Additional licensees were added in 2006 with initial licensee fees amounting to approximately $65,000, compared to $165,000 for 2005.

Marketing and Sales

The Company uses an in-house sales force and, to a lesser extent, independent sales representatives to market its precast concrete products through trade show attendance, sales presentations, advertisements in trade publications, and direct mail to end users.

The Company has also established a cooperative advertising program in which the Company and its Easi-Set and Easi-Span licensees combine resources to promote certain precast concrete products. Licensees pay a flat monthly fee and the Company pays any additional amounts required to advertise the products across the country. Although the Company advertises nationally, the Company's marketing efforts are concentrated on the region within a 250-mile radius from its facilities, which includes most of Virginia, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and parts of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and West Virginia.

8

 
The Company's sales result primarily from the submission of estimates or proposals to general contractors who then include the estimates in their overall bids to various government agencies and other end users that solicit construction contracts through a competitive bidding process. In general, these contractors solicit and obtain their construction contracts by submitting the most attractive bid to the party desiring the construction. The Company's role in the bidding process is to provide estimates to the contractors desiring to include the Company's products or services in the contractor's bid. If a contractor who accepts the Company's bid is selected to perform the construction, the Company provides the agreed upon products or services. In many instances, the Company provides estimates to more than one of the contractors bidding on a single project. The Company also occasionally negotiates with and sells directly to end-users.
 
Competition

The precast concrete industry is highly competitive and consists of a few large companies and many small to mid-size companies, several of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. Nationally, several large companies dominate the precast concrete market. However, due to the weight and costs of delivery of precast concrete products, competition in the industry tends to be limited by geographical location and distance from the construction site and is fragmented with numerous manufacturers in a large local area.

The Company believes that the principal competitive factors for its products are price, durability, ease of use and installation, speed of manufacture and delivery time, ability to customize, FHWA and state approval, and customer service. The Company believes that its plants in Midland, Virginia and Reidsville, North Carolina compete favorably with respect to each of these factors in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States and also in the newly added markets in the Midwest and Southeast. Finally, the Company believes it offers a broad range of products that are very competitive in these markets.

Patents and Proprietary Information

The Company holds U.S. and Canadian patents for the J-J Hooks Barrier and the Easi-Set Precast Building, and a U.S. patent for the Slenderwall exterior cladding system. The European patent for J-J Hooks Barrier was allowed in December 1997 and has been registered in eleven European countries. The earliest of the issued patents considered material to the Company's business will expire in 2009. The Company also owns three U.S. registered trademarks (Easi-Setâ, Smith Cattleguard®, and Smith-Midland Excellence in Precast Concreteâ) and one Canadian registered trademark (Easi-Setâ).

While the Company intends to vigorously enforce its patent rights against infringement by third parties, no assurance can be given that the patents or the Company's patent rights will be enforceable or provide the Company with meaningful protection from competitors or that its patent applications will be allowed. Even if a competitor's products were to infringe patents held by the Company, enforcing the patent rights in an enforcement action would be very costly, and assuming the Company has sufficient resources, would divert funds and resources that otherwise could be used in the Company's operations. No assurance can be given that the Company would be successful in enforcing such rights, that the Company's products or processes do not infringe the patent or intellectual property rights of a third party, or that if the Company is not successful in a suit involving patents or other intellectual property rights of a third party, that a license for such technology would be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Government Regulation

The Company frequently supplies products and services pursuant to agreements with general contractors who have entered into contracts with federal or state governmental agencies. The successful completion of the Company’s obligations under such contracts is often subject to the satisfactory inspection or approval of such products and services by a representative of the contracting agency. Although the Company endeavors to satisfy the requirements of each such contract to which it is a party, no assurance can be given that the necessary approval of its products and services will be granted on a timely basis or at all and that the Company will receive any payments due to it. Any failure to obtain such approval and payment may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

The Company's operations are subject to extensive and stringent governmental regulations including regulations related to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and environmental protection. The Company believes that it is substantially in compliance with all applicable regulations. The cost of maintaining such compliance is not considered by the Company to be significant.

The Company's employees in its manufacturing division operate complicated machinery that may cause substantial injury or death upon malfunction or improper operation. The Company's manufacturing facilities are subject to the workplace safety rules and regulations of OSHA. The Company believes that it is in compliance with the requirements of OSHA.

During the normal course of its operations, the Company uses and disposes of materials, such as solvents and lubricants used in equipment maintenance, that are classified as hazardous by government agencies that regulate environmental quality. The Company attempts to minimize the generation of such waste as much as possible, and to recycle such waste where possible. Remaining wastes are disposed of in permitted disposal sites in accordance with applicable regulations.

In the event that the Company is unable to comply with the OSHA or environmental requirements, the Company could be subject to substantial sanctions, including restrictions on its business operations, monetary liability and criminal sanctions, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business.

Employees

As of March 19, 2007, the Company had 114 full-time and 8 part-time employees, 104 of which are located at the Company's Midland Virginia facility, and 18 of which are located at the Company's facility located in Reidsville, North Carolina. None of the Company's employees are represented by labor organizations and the Company is not aware of any activities seeking such organization. The Company considers its relationships with its employees to be satisfactory.

Description of Property

Facilities

The Company operates two manufacturing facilities. The primary manufacturing operations are conducted in a 44,000 square foot manufacturing plant on approximately 22 acres of land in Midland, Virginia, of which the Company owns approximately 19 acres and three acres are leased from Rodney I. Smith, the Company's President, at an annual rental rate of $24,000. The manufacturing facility houses two concrete mixers and one concrete blender. The plant also includes two environmentally controlled casting areas, two batch plants, a form fabrication shop, a welding and metal fabrication facility, a carpentry shop, and a quality control center. The Company's Midland facility also includes a large storage yard for inventory and stored materials.

The Company's second manufacturing facility is located in Reidsville, North Carolina on nine acres of owned land and includes an 8,000 square foot manufacturing plant and administrative offices.

From July 1, 2006 to March 14, 2007, the Company operated a third manufacturing facility in Columbia, SC, on an interim basis, through a month to month operating and rental agreement. In June of 2006, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to purchase this facility and began operating the plant, on an interim basis, while completing the due diligence and acquisition activities. On March 14, 2007, the Company terminated the agreement and ended negotiations to purchase the facility.

The Company believes that its present facilities are adequate for its current needs and that they are adequately covered by insurance. Substantially all of the Company’s facilities and equipment are used as collateral for long-term notes, which as of December 31, 2006 had a balance of $4.6 million. (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

Dividends

The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock since its inception and may not pay any dividends to its stockholders in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of its business. The declaration of dividends in the future will be at the election of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, capital requirements and financial position of the Company, general economic conditions and other pertinent factors. The Company’s current loan agreement with Greater Atlantic Bank prohibits the payment of dividends to stockholders without the bank’s prior written consent, except for dividends paid in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Shareholder Rights Plan

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Plan”) in January 2003. Under the Plan, preferred stock purchase rights (each, a “Right”) were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one Right for each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on February 11, 2003 and automatically attach to shares issued thereafter. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of newly created Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $8.00 (the “Exercise Price”) per Right. In general, the Rights will be exercisable if a person or group (“Acquiring Person”) becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of the Common Stock of the Company. When the Rights become exercisable, a holder, other than the Acquiring Person, will have the right to receive upon exercise Common Stock having a value equal to two times the Exercise Price of the Right. If, after the Rights become exercisable, the Company is acquired in a merger or similar transaction, each Right will entitle the holder thereof, other than the Acquiring Person, to purchase, at the Exercise Price, shares of the acquiring corporation having a value equal to two times the Exercise Price of the Right. After a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, but before an Acquiring Person owns 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company may extinguish the Rights by exchanging one share of Common Stock or an equivalent security for each Right, other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person. The Board of Directors will in general be entitled to redeem the Rights for $.001 per Right at any time prior to any person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. The Rights will expire on January 20, 2013.

Item 6.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company (including the Notes thereto) included elsewhere in this report.
 
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 SlenderwallÔ, a patented, lightweight, energy efficient concrete and steel exterior wall panel for use in building construction; J-J HooksÔ Highway Safety Barrier, a patented, positive-connected highway safety barrier; Sierra WallÔ, 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 food troughs, and custom order precast concrete products with various architectural surfaces.
 
Overview

The Company incurred unexpected costs primarily in the fourth quarter of 2006 of approximately $626,000 for product repairs related to one particular project. As a result of these repair problems, the Company began a search, in fourth quarter 2006, for new management and quality control personnel for its Virginia plant to remedy the quality problems experienced in 2006.

Additionally, in the fourth quarter 2006, royalty revenues decreased as a result of a slow down in the awarding of some government contracts for highway construction. The Company expects these delays to be resolved and royalty revenues to increase in the first two quarters of 2007.
 
Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 

In June 2006, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to purchase a manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina and, pursuant to a month to month operating and rental agreement, began operating the plant, on an interim basis, while completing the due diligence and acquisition activities. For the period from July 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006, the Company reported a pre-tax net loss on operations for the Columbia plant of $362,930. On March 14, 2007, the Company terminated the agreement and ended negotiations to purchase the facility. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $613,374 in 2006, which included the loss from operations and expensing capitalized acquisition related costs and other costs incurred for the potential acquisition. The Company estimates $91,000 in additional expenses in 2007 related to termination of the agreement.
 
13

 
Overall, the Company’s performance declined in 2006 with a net loss of $815,812 as compared to net income of $1,350,894 for 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company had total revenue of $29,362,245 compared to total revenue of $23,790,918 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $5,571,327, or 23%. Sales include revenues from product sales, royalty income, barrier rental income, installation income and shipping income. Total product sales were $22,329,134 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $18,428,647 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $3,900,487, or 21%. SlenderwallTM sales increased by $1,251,271, or 25%, in 2006 from $5,078,456 in 2005. Soundwall sales decreased by $752,576, or 26%, in 2006 from $2,865,320 in 2005. Easi-Set building sales increased by $47,856, or 2%, in 2006 as compared to 2005. Utility product sales increased $425,219, or 14%, in 2006 as compared to 2005. Barrier sales increased $162,352, or 6%, in 2006 from $2,682,652 in 2005. Management expects Soundwall, barrier and utility products sales to be strong in 2007. Though the outlook for the construction activity in the Company’s primary service areas is expected to be strong in 2007, no assurance can be given. Included in 2006 revenues were product revenues of $1,231,578 and shipping revenues of $31,070 from utilizing the temporary Columbia plant in 2006.

Barrier rental revenue decreased to $400,176 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $1,180,987 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $780,811, or 66%. The decrease was mostly due to increased security work and rental revenue in January 2005 related to the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, DC. Exclusive of this extra barrier rental revenue, normal rental revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 was comparable to 2005. Shipping and installation revenue was $5,505,814 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $3,090,085 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $2,415,728, or 78%. The increase is due primarily to the increased shipping and installation revenue in 2006 related to the increased production revenue for the same period. Normal shipping and installation activity is highly cyclical in nature and fluctuates based on our customers’ schedules. This normal activity also increased during 2006 due to our SlenderwallTM and architectural customers’ shipping and erection schedules. Royalty revenue totaled $1,127,121 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $1,091,199 for the same period in 2005. The increase of $35,922, or 3%, was due primarily to four new licensees added during 2006. Also, a new 30-foot long JJ HooksTM barrier design was introduced to our Texas licensees and has been very successful, while other licensees declined during the year. The Company signed four new licensees during 2006. Royalty revenue from new licensees decreased to $150,071 compared to $247,582 for the same period in 2005.

Construction activity increased for the third consecutive year during 2006 in the Company’s primary markets, which was in line with the general economic condition in the area. The Company’s unfilled order backlog for products decreased during 2006. This was due primarily to the increased production during 2006. The Company added an additional estimator during 2006 to increase bid capabilities. The Company’s bid activity remained high through the first quarter 2007. The Company’s management expects the backlog to increase during 2007, if the upturn in the construction industry continues, for which there can be no assurance.

Total cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $24,750,514, an increase of $7,183,365, or 41%, from $17,567,149 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Total cost of goods sold, as a percentage of total revenue, increased to 84% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 74% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue was due mostly to approximately $626,000 in product repairs related to one particular project and other greater than normal installation related charges. These product repair and project-related charges were recorded in accrued liabilities for the Company as of December 31, 2006. The Company also recognized cost of goods sold in 2006 from Columbia operations of $1,464,947, including $299,228 recognized due to the Company terminating the Columbia agreement for acquisition. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue for Columbia operations was 116%. Also contributing to the increase in cost of goods sold percentage is the unusually high margins from the large barrier rental project in 2005, which did not occur in 2006. These increases were partially offset by improvements in labor costs while material costs remained relatively flat, except for some residual effects from higher fuel costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company's general and administrative expenses increased $734,812, or 27%, to $3,500,544 from $2,765,732 during the same period in 2005. The increase related mostly to increased use taxes during the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2006, resulting from increased SlenderwallTM and architectural production volume. Use taxes are incurred when the Company’s contracts include the installation of the product in addition to the production. These taxes are included in the Company’s project estimates and are paid similar to sales taxes. Bonus expense increased by virtue of the Company’s decision to accelerate the bonus payable to the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his employment agreement with the Company. The bonus offsets with a loan payable by said officer to the Company. (See “Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements.”). The Company also recognized general and administrative expense in 2006 from Columbia plant operations of $462,222, including $314,146 recognized due to the Company terminating the Columbia agreement for acquisition. The Company expects general and administrative expenses to decrease in 2007 as expenses from the aborted Columbia acquisition will be greatly reduced and no further bonuses will be due to the Chief Executive Officer to pay down his loan. However, no guarantee can be made that 2007 will be improved over 2006. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue increased to 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2006, from 11.6% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased $508,008, or 34%, to $1,989,636 from $1,481,628 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to management’s decision to apply more resources to selling activities, especially advertising, plus increased sales commissions related to increased sales activity. Also, during the third quarter the Company hired a new salesperson to exclusively promote Beach PrismsTM.

The Company had an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $878,449 compared to operating income of $1,976,409 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $2,854,858. The decreased operating income was primarily the result of the Columbia plant operations plus the losses related to the termination of the Columbia agreement. Poor performance and quality problems at the Company’s Virginia plant related to contracts also contributed to the decrease. Operating income in 2005 was also unusually increased by the effect of the higher margin barrier and security work related to the Presidential Inauguration.

Interest expense was $396,509 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $347,495 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase of $49,014, or 14%, was due primarily to new equipment loans added over the past 12 months. Applicable interest rates were reduced by the corporate refinancing completed on June 15, 2006.

The Company had an income tax benefit of $444,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to income tax expense of $412,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company had a net loss of $815,812 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net income of $1,350,894 for the same period in 2005. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the current year was $.18 compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $.30 and $.29, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2005 with 4,621,513 basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the 2006 period versus 4,480,151 basic and 4,596,028 diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the 2005 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its capital expenditures and operating requirements in 2006 primarily with proceeds from bank and other borrowings.

The Company has a $3,275,333 note, which was assigned by UPS Capital on June 15, 2006, with Greater Atlantic Bank (the “Bank”), headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The note had an original term of twenty-three years beginning on June 25, 1998 with an interest rate of .5% above prime, secured by equipment and real estate. The loan is guaranteed in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business-Cooperative Service’s loan guarantee. Under the terms of the note, the Bank will permit chattel mortgages on purchased equipment not to exceed $250,000 for any one individual loan so long as the Company is not in default. Also, the Company is limited to $600,000 for annual capital expenditures. At December 31, 2006, the Company was in violation of covenants related to fixed assets expenditures; however, the Company received a waiver of the covenants by the Bank.

The Company has a second note with Greater Atlantic Bank in the amount of $323,229. The note bears interest at a rate of 7.95%, matures on October 15, 2010, and is collateralized by a second priority lien on all accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets of the Borrower.

The Company also has a $1,500,000 line of credit with Greater Atlantic Bank of which $250,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2006. The line matures June 15, 2007, bears interest at the prime rate, as published by the Wall Street Journal, and is collateralized by a second priority lien on all accounts receivable, inventory, and certain other assets of the Company.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had cash totaling $482,690 compared to cash totaling $1,003,790 at December 31, 2005. During 2006, financing activities provided $377,639 (net) in cash, which resulted mainly from drawings on the line of credit, proceeds from options exercised, and new notes used to purchase new equipment, cranes, and tractors, offset by payments made on borrowings; investing activities absorbed $887,000 (net), primarily for the purchase of equipment. The Company’s operating activities absorbed cash of $11,739 (net) due mostly to the losses in operations and acquisition activities related to the Columbia plant and greater than normal repairs expense related to a few projects. These items were offset by increased royalty revenues and sales and production volumes.
 
16

 
Capital spending increased to $901,142 in 2006, from $727,968 in 2005, primarily for the purchase of a new survey vessel for the Company’s Beach PrismsTM operations, other equipment and rental barriers, plus various improvements in the plant and the existing infrastructure. In 2007, the Company intends to continue to fund capital improvements including upgrades to its shipping equipment and batch plants. The Company is also evaluating the possibility of acquiring other businesses for cash, stock, or a combination of both. If it proceeds to do so, the Company may seek to raise equity capital.

As a result of the Company's debt burden, the Company is especially sensitive to changes in the prevailing interest rates. Increases 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.

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 before it receives payment. Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes that anticipated cash flow from operations with adequate project management on jobs would be sufficient to finance the Company’s operations for at least the next 12 months. In the event cash flow from operations is not adequate to support operations, the Company is currently investigating alternative sources of financing, for which there can be no assurance of obtaining.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in its Summary of Accounting Policies to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Company does not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below, however, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of each quarter. In performing this evaluation, the Company analyzes the payment history of its significant past due accounts, subsequent cash collections on these accounts and comparative accounts receivable aging statistics. Based on this information, along with consideration of the general strength of the economy, the Company develops what it considers to be a reasonable estimate of the uncollectible amounts included in accounts receivable. This estimate involves significant judgment by the management of the Company. Actual uncollectible amounts may differ from the Company’s estimate.

17

 
The Company 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, Slenderwall, and other architectural concrete products are recognized upon completion of units produced under long-term contracts. When necessary, provisions for estimated losses on these contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, conditions and contract settlements that affect profit are recognized in the period in which the changes occur. Unbilled trade accounts receivable represents revenue earned on units produced and not yet billed.

Seasonality

The Company services the construction industry primarily in areas of the United States where construction activity may be inhibited by adverse weather during the winter. As a result, the Company may experience reduced revenues from December through February and realize the substantial part of its revenues during the other months of the year. The Company may experience lower profits, or losses, during the winter months, and as such, must have sufficient working capital to fund its operations at a reduced level until the spring construction season. The failure to generate or obtain sufficient working capital during the winter may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Inflation

Management believes that the Company's operations were not materially affected by inflation in 2006, except for the effect of increased fuel prices, which affected the cost of some raw materials and delivery costs of manufactured products.

Other Comments

As of March 24, 2007 the Company's unaudited production backlog was approximately $8,800,000 as compared to approximately $13,800,000 at the same time in 2006. This decrease was the result of increased production volumes during 2006. The Company has seen a significant increase in its Soundwall and structural product sales, including barrier and utility vaults, which have traditionally been some of the Company’s more profitable product lines. The majority of the projects relating to the backlog as of March 24, 2007 are scheduled to be produced and erected during 2007. The Company also has 3 projects equal to approximately $4,700,000 of additional production for which the Company has received letters of intent. The Company traditionally does not include projects in its production backlog calculation until the customer signs a complete contract. Accordingly, the Company has not included these amounts in its production backlog amount.
 
18

 
The Company also enjoys a regularly occurring repeat customer business, which should be considered in addition to the ordered production backlog described above. These orders typically have a quick turn around and represent purchases of a significant portion of the Company’s inventoried standard products, such as highway safety barrier, utility and Easi-Set® building products. Historically, this regularly occurring repeat customer business is equal to approximately $7 million annually.

The Company has seen significant increases in the demand and sale of its Slenderwall™ and soundwall product lines, which makes up a significant portion of the Company’s current backlog. Also, due to the lighter-weight characteristics of the Slenderwall™, the Company has been able to expand its service area into regions that previously could not be reached economically in the past.

However, the risk still exists that these improved economic conditions may not continue and future sales levels may be adversely affected. To mitigate these economic and other risks the Company has historically been a leader in innovation and new product development in the industry. In continuing this trend, the Company has ramped up development, marketing and sales efforts for two new products for the industry:

First, the Company has completed research and development and a patent application has been submitted to the US Patent Office for our new H2Out™, the world’s first "in the caulk joint" secondary drainage and street level leak detection product for panelized exterior cladding. A second line of caulking and drainage strip located behind the exterior line of caulking exits all water leakage to the exterior of the building preventing moisture and mold and hence deterring lawsuits from tenants and owners of buildings. H2Out is currently ready for production and implementation and the Company has received many inquiries for this new innovative product.

Second, the Company has begun production and launched full-scale advertising and promotional efforts for its newest product, Beach Prisms™, a shoreline erosion control product that uses the preferred natural "soft" approach as opposed to the "hard" approach of seawalls and jetties, to solve this worldwide problem. This product is expected to provide a higher margin than many of the Company’s other products lines. Beach Prisms™ are also available for production at all Easi-Set® licensees.

Although the Company is optimistic about the success of Beach Prisms ™and H2Out™, there can be no assurance of the commercial acceptance of this product.

The Company is also in the process of opening an Engineering Office in the Philippines. This new office will ultimately provide engineering, drafting and design services for all subsidiaries of the Company and its licensees. Once the office is fully operational, the lower cost of this off-shore engineering office is expected to contribute to the profitability of the Company.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, increased fuel costs continued to cause the costs of shipping for both raw materials and produced goods to be greater than estimated on some projects. Additionally, various vendors and suppliers continued charging fuel surcharges, which caused some raw materials to cost more than originally estimated in ongoing projects.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and simplifies the accounting for those instruments. SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We have not issued or acquired the hybrid instruments included in the scope of SFAS No. 155 and do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. FIN 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and the provisions of FIN 48 will be applied to all tax positions under Statement No. 109 upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements, but at this time does not expect it to be material.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measures. This statement is effective as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this statement may have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financials statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on its consolidated financials statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

Item 8A.
Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. The Company evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to information required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or any other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
 
21

 
The Company’s independent auditors advised management of deficiencies with respect to the documentation of job costs and the ability to identify on an on-going manner, the amount of profit or loss to be recognized on long-term contracts. New accounting software, installed in January of 2006, provides the Company with improved monitoring and accounting for actual versus estimated costs for subcontracted activities. The Company is also researching additional software and hardware options to provide improved accounting for direct labor by project.

The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the procedures followed by the Company provide reasonable assurance that the identified deficiencies did not lead to material misstatements in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-KSB.

The Company does, however, recognize the need to better capture its labor and materials usage related to custom projects. To that end, the Company is developing full labor and materials tracking processes designed to help identify and calculate plant performance and project profitability.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) (“Section 16(a)”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires executive officers and Directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s Common Stock to file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on Form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are registered.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and written representations from the executive officers and Directors, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, Directors and greater than ten per cent (10%) beneficial owners were satisfied during 2006, except that Andrew G. Kavounis filed a Form 4 in February 2006 that reported late, by one day, the exercise of options and sale of shares of common stock of the Company on two different days.

24

 
Code of Ethics

The Company adopted a code of ethics that applies to the principal executive officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and persons performing similar functions. The Board of Directors approved the code of ethics at their meeting on December 17, 2003. A copy of the code of ethics was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Audit Committee

The Company does not have an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors; the entire Board of Directors serves the functions of the Audit Committee. No member of the Board of Directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Regulation S-B. As a small company, the Company has not had the resources to recruit a person that so qualifies.

Item 10.

The following table sets forth the compensation paid by the Company for services rendered for the past two completed fiscal years to the executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “named executive officers”), whose cash compensation exceeded $100,000 during 2006:

Stock options granted in 2006 were granted on May 25, 2006, which the Company valued based on the following assumptions:

Dividend Yield (per share)
 
$
0.00
 
Volatility

Accordingly, the fair value per option at the date of grant for the options granted in 2006 is $1.52.

(4) For 2006 and 2005, $242,276 and $159,000, respectively, of the amount shown was for a non-cash (except for the portion related to the payment of taxes) payment to Rodney Smith to pay down an officer receivable due the Company, which includes a grossed up amount for income tax consequences. The receivable originated in 1968 and 1969, prior to the Company going public, and included two $30,000 loans to Rodney Smith, in lieu of salary, during two less profitable years. See “Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements.” In addition, in 2006 and 2005, $99,000 was paid to Mr. Smith for an annual royalty fee paid under his employment agreement.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements.

The Company entered into a four-year Employment Agreement with Rodney I. Smith, its current President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of September 30, 2002. The term of employment automatically renews commencing on the date one year after the effective date, and on an annual basis thereafter, for an additional one year, unless earlier terminated or not renewed as provided for therein. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $99,000 (“Base Salary”), which will be reviewed at least annually and adjusted from time to time at the determination of the Board of Directors. It also provides for an annual royalty fee of $99,000 payable as consideration for Mr. Smith’s assignment to the Company of all of his rights, title and interest in and to the Patents (as defined in the agreement). Payment of the royalty continues only for as long as the Company is using the inventions underlying the non-expired Patents. Mr. Smith is also entitled to bonuses as follows (the “Bonus”): (i) a performance-based bonus as determined by the Board each calendar year, and (ii) a $27,000 quarterly bonus equal to one-twentieth of the then outstanding principal balance on the loan (the “Loan”) made by the Company to Mr. Smith in the aggregate amount of $540,000, at the date of the employment agreement, and the unpaid interest accrued thereon during the quarter, and a cash amount which reimburses Mr. Smith for certain taxes payable by him as a result of such quarterly bonus. Payment of the Bonuses that are equal to one-twentieth of the Loan and the quarterly interest thereon are paid in the form of forgiveness of such principal and interest. Once the Loan has been fully repaid, no further quarterly Bonus in respect of the Loan shall be payable.
 
27

 
With respect to repayment of the Loan, the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of the accrual of all bonuses and related expenses necessary to payoff the Loan as of December 31, 2006. All related and accrued amounts required to fully payoff the Loan in the amount of $242,276, including a grossed up amount for income taxes, were recognized as general and administration expense for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Mr. Smith’s employment agreement provides further that if Mr. Smith (i) voluntarily leaves the employ of the Company within six months of his becoming aware of a Change of Control (as defined in the agreement) of the Company, then he shall be entitled to receive a lump sum amount equal to three times the five-year average of his combined total annual compensation, which includes the Base Salary and Bonus, less one dollar ($1.00), and certain other unpaid accrued amounts as of the date of his termination, or (ii) is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the agreement) or leaves the Company with Good Reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Smith shall be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to three times the combined Base Salary and Bonus paid during the immediately preceding calendar year, and such other unpaid accrued amounts. In any of such cases, the Company will provide Mr. Smith with certain Company fringe benefits for two years, subject to certain conditions as provided for in the agreement, and all of Mr. Smith’s unvested options to purchase Company stock shall become fully vested and exercisable on the date of termination. Mr. Smith will be entitled to exercise all such options for three years from the date of termination. The Company will have no further obligations to Mr. Smith, other than with respect to the payment of royalties.

In the event Mr. Smith’s employment by the Company is terminated as a result of Mr. Smith’s (i) death, his estate shall be entitled to a lump sum payment of one times the combined Base Salary and Bonus, and certain other accrued and unpaid amounts, or (ii) disability, Mr. Smith shall be entitled to Base Salary and Bonus for a period of one year commencing with the date of termination, and all other unpaid accrued amounts. In either of such cases the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and any accrued interest thereon, shall be forgiven in full, and payment shall be made to reimburse for taxes payable as a result thereof.

In the event Mr. Smith’s employment is terminated for cause or Mr. Smith voluntarily leaves the employ of the Company for no reason, Mr. Smith shall be entitled to accrued but unpaid Base Salary and Bonus up to the date of termination, and all other unpaid amounts. The Company shall have no further obligations to Mr. Smith, other than with respect to the Loan.

The employment agreement also contains Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation covenants for one year following Mr. Smith’s termination of employment for any reason.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors
Smith-Midland Corporation
Midland, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Smith-Midland Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smith-Midland Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Smith-Midland Corporation
and Subsidiaries

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 



Nature of Business
 
Smith-Midland Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) develop, manufacture, license, sell and install precast concrete products for the construction, transportation and utilities industries in the Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern, and Midwestern regions of the United States.
     
Principles of
Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Smith-Midland Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries consist of Smith-Midland Corporation, a Virginia corporation, Smith-Carolina Corporation, a North Carolina corporation, Easi-Set Industries, Inc., a Virginia corporation, Concrete Safety Systems, Inc., a Virginia corporation, Midland Advertising and Design, Inc., doing business as Adventures, a Virginia corporation, and Smith-Columbia Corporation, a South Carolina corporation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all unrestricted cash and money market accounts with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.
     
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market.
     
Property and
Equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at 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

Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Stock Options
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified prospective method. SFAS 123R requires stock based compensation to be measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and the corresponding expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions including expected term, risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility, and dividend yield. The assumption for expected term is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The historical volatility of the Company’s stock is used as the basis for the volatility assumption. The Company has never paid cash dividends, and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus assumed a 0% dividend yield. The fair value of restricted stock unit grants is based on the closing share price for our common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board Market on the date of grant. See Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to stock based compensation. The adoption of SFAS 123R was not material to the financial statements.
     
   
During 2005, the Company elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, for stock options granted to the Company’s employees. This method does not result in the recognition of compensation expense when employee stock options are granted if the exercise price of the option equals or exceeds the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.
     
   
The Company granted 108,000 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2006, of which 19,500 were also forfeited during 2006. The fair value of each option on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 73%, risk-free interest rate of 4.42% and expected lives of six years. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1.52. Substantially all options become vested and exercisable ratably over a three-year period.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company 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 architectural, soundwall, SlenderwallÔ and barrier concrete products are recognized upon completion of units produced under long-term contracts. When necessary, provisions for estimated losses on these contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, conditions and contract settlements, which affect profit, are recognized in the period in which the changes occur. Unbilled trade accounts receivable represents revenue earned on units produced and not yet billed. Billings in advance of units produced are included in customer deposits.
     
Shipping and Handling
 
Amounts billed to customers are recorded in sales and the costs associated with the shipping and handling are recorded as cost of goods sold.
     
Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company sells products to highway contractors operating under government funded highway programs and other customers and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine the probability of collection. Any accounts receivable that are deemed to be uncollectible along with a general reserve, which is calculated based upon the aging category of the receivable, is included in the overall allowance for doubtful accounts. Management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2006 is adequate. However, actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance.
     
   
Due to inclement weather, the Company may experience reduced revenues from December through February and may realize the substantial part of its revenues during the other months of the year.

Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value for each of the Company’s financial instruments (consisting of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt approximates carrying value based on current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same maturities.
     
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     
Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $314,000 and $166,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
     
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity.
     
Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived and identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable based on undiscounted estimated future operating cash flows. When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No impairment losses have been recorded through December 31, 2006.
     
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
 
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and simplifies the accounting for those instruments. SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We have not issued or acquired the hybrid instruments included in the scope of SFAS No. 155 and do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. FIN 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and the provisions of FIN 48 will be applied to all tax positions under Statement No. 109 upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of FIN 48 but, at this time, does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     
   
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measures. This statement is effective as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this statement may have on its financial statements.
     
   
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financials statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on its consolidated financials statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

Stock Options
 
Under a 1994 Stock Option Plan, (“1994 Plan”) up to 1,025,000 options were available for grant. Options outstanding under the 1994 Plan at December 31, 2006 were 315,758. The 1994 Plan expired in 2004 and no more options can be granted under this plan. All options outstanding at December 31, 2006 will remain outstanding until the expiration date, which is ten years from the date of grant. On September 9, 2004, the Board of Directors and Stockholders of the Company adopted the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the "2004 Plan"), which allows the Company to grant up to 500,000 options to employees, officers, directors and consultants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. Options granted under the plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company, while Non-qualified options may be issued to non-employee directors, consultants, and others, as well as to employees of the Company. The Company granted 108,000 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2006, of which 19,500 were also forfeited during 2006.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
In June 2006 the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to purchase a manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina and began operating the plant, on an interim basis, while completing the due diligence and acquisition activities. For the period from July 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006, the Company reported a pre-tax net loss on operations for the Columbia plant of $362,930. On March 14, 2007, the Company terminated the agreement and ended negotiations to purchase the facility. As a result of this decision the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $613,374 in 2006, which included the loss from operations and expensing capitalized acquisition related costs and other costs incurred for the potential acquisition. The Company estimates $91,000 in additional expenses in 2007 related to termination of the agreement.
 
The Company is party to legal proceedings and disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company, it is unlikely that liabilities, if any, arising from legal disputes will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
