SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
 
Basis of Presentation

As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange 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 Smith-Midland Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In the opinion of the management of Smith-Midland Corporation (the "Company"), the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which were necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

The results disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed 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.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the 2007 presentation.

Inventories

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

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, net is stated at depreciated cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense 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.

7
 
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.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 provides a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. or state tax examinations for years before 2002. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.

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, architectural precast panels and Slenderwall™ 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.

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.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive effect of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. Earnings per share was calculated as follows:

Stock Options

In accordance with SFAS 123R, stock option expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $28,265 and $17,587, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $51,927 and $32,976, respectively. The Company has approximately $277,000 remaining to expense related to non-vested stock options outstanding at June 30, 2007. The Company currently utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees. The fair values of options granted in 2007 were estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate

Subsequent Event

On August 7, 2007, Smith-Midland Corporation (“the Borrower”), a Virginia corporation and a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the following agreements (the “Loan Agreements”) with Greater Atlantic Bank (the “Lender”):

1.
a commercial debt modification agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) to extend the maturity date to June 15, 2008 for the Company’s revolving multiple advance draw loan up to the aggregate amount of $1,500,000 (the “Working Capital Line of Credit”) for the purpose of providing working capital to the Borrower.

 
2.
a commercial loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) by and between the Borrower and the Lender contemplating a multiple advance draw loan up to the aggregate amount of $700,000 for the purpose of supporting equipment and vehicle purchases by the Borrower (the “Equipment Line of Credit”)

The loan provided for in the Working Capital Line of Credit is evidenced by a Promissory Note, dated June 15, 2006, that bears interest at the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, and is collateralized by a second priority lien on all accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets of the Borrower. The Working Capital Line of Credit contains certain restrictive and financial covenants. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default specified in the Working Capital Line of Credit, amounts owed under the Working Capital Line of Credit may be declared immediately due and payable. At June 30, 2007, $1,400,000 was outstanding for the Working Capital Line of Credit. At August 7, 2007, $150,000 was outstanding for the Working Capital Line of Credit. This line of credit expires on June 16, 2008.

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™, a patented, lightweight, energy efficient concrete and steel exterior wall panel for use in building construction; J-J Hooks™ 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. In addition, the Company produces custom order precast concrete products with various architectural surfaces, typically used in commercial building construction, as well as utility vaults, farm products such as cattleguards, and water and feed troughs.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the Company's operations for the year ending December 31, 2007. 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.

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 recognized additional losses of approximately $61,000 and $71,000, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 related to operations and termination of the agreement.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company had total revenue of $7,898,945 compared to total revenue of $6,362,991 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $1,535,954 or 24%. Total product sales were $5,987,085 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4,657,299 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $1,329,786, or 29%. Highway safety barrier revenues increased significantly due to increased highway construction around the DC Metro area. Utility product revenues also increased while Slenderwall and architectural revenues and production declined. We expect this trend of strong highway safety barrier and utility sales to continue through the end of 2007. Soundwall revenues also increased for the first half of 2007 and are expected to continue to be strong during the second half of 2007. Shipping and installation revenue was $1,392,149 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1,240,439 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $151,710, or 12%. The increase was primarily related to the increased shipping activity across all product categories, while installation activity remained roughly flat for the second quarter 2007 compared to 2006. Royalty revenue was $388,962 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $376,446 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $12,516, or 3%. The increase was due primarily to two new licensees signed during the second quarter, plus continuing growth in production volumes from existing licensees, especially JJ Hooks barrier licensees in Florida and Texas.

Total cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $6,179,638, an increase of $842,639, or 16%, from $5,336,999 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 84% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 78% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The significant decrease in this percentage was due to improved raw materials costs combined with decreased labor costs due to better management of overtime. Also, included in cost of goods sold were shipping and installation expenses of $1,320,345 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $1,259,195 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $61,150, or 5%. The increase related mostly to overall increased shipping activity, reduced by improved profitability for product installation.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company's general and administrative expenses decreased $14,976, or 2%, to $665,995 from $680,971 during the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to decreased use taxes, resulting from decreased Slenderwall production volume.

Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $10,152, or 3%, to $404,034 from $414,186 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to temporary advertising reductions implemented earlier in 2007 due to temporary cash constraints. The Company has restarted these ads and expects selling expenses to increase in the second half of 2007.

The Company had operating income of $649,278 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to an operating loss of $69,166 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an improvement of $718,444. The improved operating income was primarily the result of increased revenues plus improved cost of sales related to direct labor and raw materials.

Interest expense was $101,784 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $96,491 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $5,293, or 6%, was due primarily to higher interest rates in 2007 as compared to 2006.

The Company had net income of $363,695 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $87,458 for the same period in 2006. The basic and diluted net income per share for the current three-month period was $.08, compared to basic and diluted net loss per share of $.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company had total revenue of $16,386,629 compared to total revenue of $13,360,159 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $3,026,470, or 23%. Total product sales were $12,738,464 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $9,743,139 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $2,995,325, or 31%. The increase related primarily to increased production and revenues from the utility and highway safety barrier product categories, which accounted for approximately $2,519,015 of the increase, representing a 79% increase for those product categories. The Slenderwall™ and architectural product line revenues decreased 13%, or $515,458, as compared to prior year. Soundwall revenues increased 71%, or $627,839, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to prior year. The Company expects this positive trend in barrier, utility, and Soundwall revenues to continue through the end of 2007. Revenue from Columbia operations was $304,304 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Shipping and installation revenue was $2,705,913 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2,773,763 for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $67,850, or 2%. The decrease was primarily related to decreased installation activity related to the Slenderwall™ and architectural product lines. Installation activity is highly cyclical in nature and fluctuates based on our customers’ schedules. The Company is looking to grow the installation category as part of an overall growth strategy to add more services in addition to the normal product manufacturing. The decreased installation activity was partially offset by increased shipping activity required to meet the increased highway safety barrier and utility product demand. Royalty revenue was $693,439 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $652,115 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $41,324, or 6%. The increase was due primarily to increased barrier production by Florida and Texas licensees plus initial royalty revenues from three new licensees signed during the past six months and a new Slenderwall™ licensee signed in 2006. The Company expects these increased royalty revenues to continue through the end of 2007. The new Slenderwall™ licensee started producing its first Slenderwall™ project in 2006 and produced two other projects through June 30, 2007.

Total cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $12,485,386, an increase of $1,634,775, or 15%, from $10,850,611 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 81% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 76% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The significant decrease in this percentage was due to improved raw materials costs combined with decreased labor costs due to better management of overtime. Improvements in Shipping and Installation costs as a percentage of revenues, which included decreases in fuel-related costs, also contributed to the improvement. Cost of sales for the Columbia operations was $294,317 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Also, included in cost of goods sold were shipping and installation expenses of $2,500,047 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $2,692,215 for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $192,168, or 7%. The decrease related mostly to a decrease in installation activity plus improved costs of installation subcontracts combined with slightly improved fuel-related costs in the shipping services.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company's general and administrative expenses increased $353,132 or 27%, to $1,641,311 from $1,288,179 during the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased bad debt expense, personnel-related expenses, use taxes, insurance costs, and depreciation. General and administrative expense from Columbia operations of $80,356 also contributed to the increase.

Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $4,058, or 1%, to $862,792 from $866,850 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to temporary advertising reductions implemented earlier in 2007 due to temporary cash constraints. The Company has restarted these ads and expects selling expenses to increase in the second half of 2007.

The Company's operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,397,140 compared to $354,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $1,042,621, or 294%. The increased operating income was primarily the result of increased production and sales volume combined with reductions in direct labor and better pricing on raw materials.

Interest expense was $212,083 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $191,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $20,726, or 11%, was due primarily to higher interest rates over the past 12 months.

Net income was $756,923 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to a net income of $120,671 for the same period in 2006. The basic and diluted net income per share for the current six-month period was $.16 compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $.03 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its capital expenditures, operating requirements and growth to date primarily with proceeds from operations and bank and other borrowings. The Company had $5,470,352 of contractual obligations at June 30, 2007, of which $1,726,201 was scheduled to mature within twelve months.

The Company also had a $1,500,000 line of credit with a bank, under which $1,400,000 was outstanding at June 30, 2007. The line of credit is evidenced by a commercial revolving promissory note, which carries a variable interest rate of prime and matures on June 15, 2008. For more information on this and other financing activities during the period see Item 5. Other Information.
 
14
 
At June 30, 2007, the Company had cash totaling $1,530,671 compared to cash totaling $482,690 at December 31, 2006. During the period, financing activities provided $911,843 (net) and the Company used $308,414 in its investing activities, primarily for the purchase of new equipment and tractors. The Company’s operating activities provided cash of $444,552 (net), primarily due to improved profitability and decreased inventory levels.

Capital spending totaled $320,157 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 versus $309,347 in the comparable period of the prior year, mainly because of routine equipment replacements, plant modernization, and the purchase of real estate located directly adjacent to the North Carolina plant. The Company plans to make additional capital expenditures, including new computerized batching equipment, a 50 ton yard crane, and other routine equipment replacement, productivity improvements and plant upgrades, which are planned for the next twelve months based on the achievement of operating goals and the availability of funds.

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.

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 annual 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.
 
15
 
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 and Slenderwall™ 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.

Other Comments

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 capital to fund its operations at a reduced level until spring construction season. The failure to generate or obtain sufficient working capital during the winter may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

As of August 6, 2007 the Company's production backlog was approximately $10,800,000 as compared to approximately $11,800,000 at the same time in 2006. Selling and bidding activity, as well as, the economic condition of the construction industry in our service area, remains strong. The majority of the projects relating to the backlog as of August 6, 2007 are scheduled to be produced and erected in the second half of 2007 and early 2008.

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 $8 million annually.

However, the risk still exist that these improved economic conditions within the construction industry may not continue and future sales levels may be adversely affected.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, though fuel costs have rebounded slightly over the past six months, fuel costs still remain higher than in prior years. These higher costs have caused the costs of shipping for both raw materials and produced goods to remain high during the period. Additionally, various vendors and suppliers continue to pass on fuel-related costs in the form of fuel surcharges, which have caused the costs of some raw materials to remain higher than in prior years. It is possible that these increased fuel costs and surcharges may affect the gross profit for projects that went under contract in 2006 and are scheduled for production later in 2007 or early in 2008.

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

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive and financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-QSB, that our disclosure controls and procedures under Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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.
