SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTING

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures that are included in our annual consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, summary of significant accounting policies, and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2020 balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K. Dollar amounts in the footnotes are stated in thousands, except for per share data.


In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.

Although the ultimate impact is uncertain at this time, resurgence of the coronavirus outbreak may significantly affect the Company's financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. In this respect, the Company has alreadyhad previously experienced the following negative impacts on its business: backlog reduction during 2020 from that of 2019, lower production volumes, employee absence, and bidding restrictions within certain key states, andstates. The Company is continuing to experience delays in receipt of materials through the Company'sits supply chain.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life that are recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The pronouncement is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, including subsequent amendments, on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption, other than as stated above, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Revenue Recognition


Product Sales - Over Time

Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services provided. Revenue associated with contracts with customers is recognized over time as the Company's performance creates or enhances customer controlled assets or creates or enhances an asset with no alternative use, which the Company has an enforceable right to receive compensation as defined under the contract for performance completed. To determine the amount of revenue to recognize over time, the Company recognizes revenue over the contract terms based on the output method. The Company applied the "as-invoiced" practical expedient as the amount of consideration the Company has the right to invoice corresponds directly with the value of the Company's performance to date.

As the output method is driven by units produced, the Company recognizes revenues based on the value transferred to the customer relative to the remaining value to be transferred. The Company also matches the costs associated with the units produced. If a contract is projected to result in a loss, the entire contract loss is recognized in the period when the loss was first determined and the amount of the loss updated in subsequent reporting periods. Revenue recognition also includes an amount related to a contract asset or contract liability. If the recognized revenue is greater than the amount billed to the customer, a contract related asset is recorded in "Accounts receivable - unbilled". Conversely, if the amount billed to the customer is greater than the recognized revenue, a contract liability is recorded in "Customer deposits". Changes in the job performance, job conditions and final contract settlements are factors that influence management’s assessment of total contract value and therefore, profit and revenue recognition.

A portion of the work the Company performs requires financial assurances in the form of performance and payment bonds or letters of credit at the time of execution of the contract. Some contracts include retention provisions of up to 10% which are generally withheld from each progress payment as retainage until the contract work has been completed and approved.

Product Sales - Point in Time

For certain product sales that do not meet the over time criteria, under Topic 606 the Company recognizes revenue when the product has been shipped to the destination in accordance with the terms outlined in the contract where a present obligation to pay exists as the customer has gained control of the product.


Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances

The timing of when we bill our customers is generally dependent upon billing terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided or products are shipped. Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have costs and estimated earnings recognized to date in excess of cumulative billings, are reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Accounts receivable - unbilled". Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have cumulative billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings recognized to date, are reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Customer deposits".

Any uncollected billed amounts for our performance obligations recognized over time, including contract retentions, are recorded within accounts receivable. At March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable included contract retentions of approximately $1,522$908 and $1,709, respectively.

Our billed and unbilled revenue may be exposed to potential credit risk if our customers should encounter financial difficulties, and we maintain reserves for specifically-identified potential uncollectible receivables. At March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our allowances for doubtful accounts were approximately $400.

Sale to Customer with a Buy-Back Guarantee


The Company entered into a buy-back agreement with one specific customer. Under this agreement, the Company guaranteed to buy-back product at a predetermined price at the end of the long-term project, subject to the condition of the product. Although the Company receives payment in full as the product is produced, GAAP requires these transactions to be accounted for as operating leases. The amount of sale proceeds equal to the buy-back obligation, included in "Deferred buy-back lease obligation" in the liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheet, is deferred until the buy-back is exercised or expired. The remaining sale proceeds are deferred in the same account and recognized on a straight-line basis over the usage period, such usage period commencing on delivery to the job-site and ending at the time the buy-back is exercised or expired. The Company capitalizes the cost of the product on the consolidated balance sheet shown in "Deferred buy-back lease asset, net", and depreciates the value, less residual value, to cost of leasing revenue in "Cost of goods sold" over the estimated useful life of the asset.

In the case the customer does not exercise the buy-back option and retains ownership of the product at the end of the usage period, the guaranteed buy-back liability and any deferred revenue balances related to the product are settled to revenue, and the net book value of the asset is expensed to cost of leasing revenue. If the customer exercises the buy-back guarantee option, the Company purchases the product back in the amount equal to the buy-back guarantee, the Company settles any remaining deferred balances, in excess of the buy-back payment, to leasing revenue, and the Company reclassifies the net book value of the product on the consolidated balance sheet to "Inventories" or "Property and equipment, net" depending on the intended use at the time. The revenue is being recognized in accordance with Topic 842, Leases.


Barrier Rentals - Lease Income

Leasing fees are paid by customers at the beginning of the lease period and are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is then recognized each month as lease income for the duration of the lease, in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. Topic 842 is applied, as Topic 606-10-15-2 provides a scope exception for lease contracts.


Royalty Income

The Company licenses certain products to other precast companies to manufacture the Company's products to engineering specifications under the licensing agreements. The agreements are typically for five year terms and require royalty payments from 4% to 6% of total sales of licensed products, which are paid on a monthly basis. The revenues from licensing agreements are recognized in the month earned, in accordance with Topic 606-10-55-65.


Shipping and Installation

Shipping and installation revenues are recognized as a distinct performance obligation in the period the shipping and installation services are provided to the customer, in accordance with Topic 606.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Segment Reporting


Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently operates in one operating and reportable business segment for financial reporting purposes.

Reclassifications of Certain Items Included within Comparable Prior Year Periods and Previous Current Year Interim Periods


Certain minor reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Forward-Looking Statements


This Quarterly Report and related documents include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act 1934. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the Company’s actual results, performance (financial or operating), or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements not to occur or be realized. Such forward looking statements generally are based upon the Company’s best estimates of future results, performance or achievement, based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other things, such factors as:


Although the ultimate impact is uncertain at this time, the coronavirus outbreak may significantly affect the Company's financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. In this respect, the Company has already experienced the following negative impacts on its business: backlog reduction during 2020 from that in 2019, lower production volumes, employee absence, bidding restrictions within certain key states, and minor delays in receipt of materials through the Company's supply chain,
while the Company had net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there are no assurances that the Company can remain profitable in future periods; in line with this risk, the Company incurred a loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2020,
our debt level increased in 2020, and our ability to satisfy the same cannot be assured,

the other factors and information disclosed and discussed in other sections of this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Although the ultimate impact is uncertain at this time, resurgence of the coronavirus outbreak may significantly affect the Company's financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. In this respect, the Company had previously experienced the following negative impacts on its business: backlog reduction during 2020 from that in 2019, lower production volumes, employee absence, and bidding restrictions within certain key states. The Company is continuing to experience delays in receipt of materials through its supply chain.

while the Company had net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there are no assurances that the Company can remain profitable in future periods; in line with this risk, the Company incurred a loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2020,

Overview; Potential Effect of the COVID-19 Outbreak


The Company invents, develops, manufactures, markets, leases, licenses, sells, and installs a broad array of precast concrete products and systems for use primarily in the construction, highway, 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, Midwestern regions and parts of the Southeastern region of the United States. The Company's operating strategy has involved producing innovative and proprietary products, including SlenderWall™, a patented, lightweight, energy efficient concrete and steel exterior insulated wall panel for use in building construction; J-J Hooks® Highway Safety Barrier, a 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.

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 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.

As a part of the construction industry, the Company's sales and net income may vary greatly from quarter to quarter over a given year. Because of the cyclical nature of the construction industry, many factors not under our control, such as weather and project delays, affect the Company's production schedule, possibly causing momentary slowdowns in sales and net income. As a result of these factors, the Company is not always able to earn a profit for each period, therefore, please read Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the accompanying financial statements with these factors in mind.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, including a recent resurgence in the United States, continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. The Company has alreadyhad previously experienced an adverse impact to its business by a reduction in revenues in 2020 from that of 2019, a reduction in backlog during 2020 from that in 2019, lower production volumes, employee absence, and bidding restrictions within certain key states such as Maryland and North Carolina, and minorCarolina. The Company is currently experiencing delays in receipt of materials through the Company'sits supply chain. The Company may be further negatively impacted in the following respects:

a) by the potential inability of customers of the Company to pay amounts owed to the Company for products or services already provided should their businesses suffer setbacks; this risk is heightened by the relatively long lag time experienced by the Company in collecting accounts receivable (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below);

b) by potential supply side issues should our vendors experience hardships, and have to reduce or terminate operations, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, impacting the Company's sourcing of materials;

c) by increased adverse effects on our workforce due to contracting or taking care of a relative who has contracted COVID-19, or have been quarantined by a medical professional; in this respect, our workforce hashad previously been impacted as of this date with an effect on operations at all locations, but this impact has substantially diminished as of the filing date, but no assurance can be provided as to future impacts, particularly in view of new coronavirus outbreaks;

d) in the event that any of the three states in which we have facilities provide for the quarantine of our manufacturing employees, our production manufacturing will be significantly affected;

e) in the event that any of the states in which we sell our products and services may eliminate, cancel, or delay projects due to monetary limitations resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak; in this respect, the Company has alreadyhad previously seen a reduction in bidding activity;

f) the reduction of state infrastructure budgets due to the reduction in funding through the gas tax, or other funding sources;

g) the increase in the overall loan defaults, which in turn impacts the banking sector's ability to fund projects in which the Company's products may be utilized; and

h) in the event that economic hardships force the Company to default on loan payments, our loans may be called and our ability to borrow under our bank line of credit could cease;

Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Although the Company experienced a loss in the first quarter of 2020 and reduced revenues for the year 2020 as compared to 2019, as well as experiencing factors described above, given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to ultimately estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021.


the remainder of 2021 or future years.


The discussions below, including without limitation with respect to liquidity, are subject to the future effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. In this respect, should the outbreak cause serious economic harm in our areas of operation, our revenue expectations are unlikely to be fulfilled.

The Company had (in thousands) net income of $2,867 for the first quarter 2021, compared to a net lossincome of $38$985 for the firstsecond quarter 2020.2021, and net income of $3,694 for the third quarter 2021, resulting in net income of $7,546 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Profitability for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was positively impacted by the forgiveness of the PPP loan (described below in Liquidity and Capital Resources) in the amount of $2,692. The cost of goods sold as a percent of revenue, not including royalties, for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 was 64%80% and 73%, respectively, as compared to 86%72% and 79% for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. The decreaseincrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, is due in part to impacts of COVID-19 at the Virginia plant which reduced production volumes and increased labor costs. In addition, during the third quarter 2020, there were one-time special barrier projects, which typically have slightly higher margins due to risk and complexity, which improved the margin compared to the third quarter 2021. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, is mainly due to the increase in barrier rental revenues, which typically have higher margins than product sales, andand the increase in short-term special barrier rental projects, which carry slightly higher margins due to the complexity and risk of the projects.projects. Total revenues for the three and nine month periodperiods ended March 31,September 30, 2021 were $15,218,$13,100 and $40,625, compared to $9,825$12,515 and $32,789 for the three monthsand nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2020. The increase for the more recent nine month period was mainly from the barrier rentals, which included multiple short-term special barrier rental projects and, to a lessorlesser extent, a continued increase in linear feet rented over the prior year of the core rental fleet. Future barrier rental revenues are not expected toto continue to trend at the same rate as in the first quarter of 2021 due to the nature and frequency of the short-term special barrier projects.

On October 21, 20202021, the Company received a Commitment Letter from the Bank to provide a guidance line of credit specifically to purchase business equipment in an amount up to $1,500. The commitment provides for the purchase of equipment for which a note payable will be executed with a term not to exceed five years with an interest rate at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.50% with a floor of 4.00%3.50% per annum. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on all equipment purchased under the line. The commitment for the guidance line of credit matures on October 21, 2021.2022.

Investment securities at March 31,September 30, 2021 consist of shares of USVAX (a Virginia Bond Fund). The increase in cash is primarily the result of positive operating results during the first quarternine months of 2021.

Capital spending for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 totaled $376,$1,210, as compared to $669$2,501 for the same period in 2020. The 2021 expenditures were mainly for the purchase of rental barrier, and miscellaneous manufacturing equipment.equipment, and a vehicle. The Company intends to continue capital spending on maintenance capital expenditures as needed over the remainder of the year, which is expected to be approximately $1,500.

$1,000. With the increase in barrier rental bidding and activity, the Company plans to purchase used barrier and manufacture barrier to increase the rental fleet capacity, which is expected to cost an additional $1,000.

The Company's three mortgage notes payable are financed at fixed rates of interest. This leaves the Company almost impervious to fluctuating interest rates. Increases in such rates will only slightly affect the interest paid by the Company on an annual basis. Approximately 99% of the Company's debt obligations are financed at a fixed interest rate, after consideration of the Promissory Note Rate Conversion Agreement, so that each 1% increase in the interest rates of the Company’s outstanding debt will reduce income by approximately $1 annually, excluding the impact of fair value changes in the Promissory Note Rate Conversion Agreement.

The Company’s cash flow from operations is affected by production schedules set by contractors, which generally provide for payment 35 to 90 days after the products are produced and with some architectural contracts, retainage may be held until the entire project is completed. This payment schedule may result in liquidity problems for the Company because it must bear a portion of the cost of production before it receives payment from its customers. The Company’s average days sales outstanding (DSO), excluding the effect of unbilled revenue, was 6687 days for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 compared to 89 days for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in DSO is mainly due to collection of retainage and the collection of amounts due under multiple large projects occurring in the first quarter 2021.


If actual results regarding the Company's production, sales, and subsequent collections on customer receivables are materially inconsistent with management's expectations, the Company may in the future encounter cash flow and liquidity issues. If the Company's operational performance deteriorates significantly, it may be unable to comply with existing financial covenants, and could cause defaults and acceleration under it'sits loan agreements and lose access to the credit facility.Although no assurances can be given, the Company believes that it'sits current cash resources, anticipated cash flow from operations, and the availability under the line of credit will be sufficient to finance the Company’s operations for at least the next 12 months.


The Company’s inventory was $2,347$3,196 at March 31,September 30, 2021 and $2,194 at December 31, 2020, or an increase of $153.$1,002. The increase in inventory is mainly due to the increase of stock items and raw materials on-hand compared to the prior year.year due to strategic measures to purchase certain materials, when available, that may be more susceptible to supply chain issues. Inventory turnover was 15.1,16.3, annualized for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, compared to 14.8,14.9, annualized for the same period in 2020.

The failure to generate or obtain sufficient working capital during the winter may have a material adverse effect on the Company.


Inflation


Raw material costs for the Company, cement, steel, aggregates, and other direct materials used in production have slightly increased for the first threenine months of 2021. The Company anticipates raw material prices to slightly increase for the remainder of 2021, although no assurance can be given regarding future pricing.
