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, 2020.2021. The condensed consolidated December 31, 20202021 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 operationsincome are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.

 

Although the ultimate impact is uncertain at this time, a 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 of 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.

 

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 for customized products is recognized over time as the Company's performance creates or enhances customer controlledcustomer-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""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 is 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 "Accountsaccounts receivable trade - unbilled".unbilled. Conversely, if the amount billed to the customer is greater than the recognized revenue, a contract liability is recorded in "Customer deposits".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 asand the customer hascustomers have gained control of the product.

 

Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances

 

The timing of when we bill our customers is generally dependent upon advance 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 trade - unbilled" (contract assets). Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have cumulative billings in excess of costs and estimatedestimate earnings recognized to date, are reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Customer deposits" (contract liabilities).

 

Any uncollected billed amounts for our performance obligations recognized over time, including contract retentions, are recorded within accounts receivable. At Septemberreceivable trade - billed. On June 30, 20212022, and December 31, 2020,2021, accounts receivable included contract retentions (in thousands) of approximately $908$1,393 and $1,709, respectively.$1,139, respectively, which are considered contract assets.

 

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-identifiedspecifically identified potential uncollectible receivables. At SeptemberOn June 30, 20212022, and December 31, 2020,2021, our allowances for doubtful accounts (in thousands) were approximately $425$482 and $400,$437, respectively.

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.executed. 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.

 

InPursuant to an amendment entered into by the caseCompany with 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.

The revenue items: soundwall sales, architectural panel sales, SlenderWall sales, miscellaneous wall sales, miscellaneous sales, barrier rentals, and royalty income are recognized as revenue over time. The revenue items: barrier sales, Easi-Set and Easi-Span building sales, utility sales, miscellaneous sales, and shipping and installation revenue are recognized as revenue at a point in time.

 

Warranties

 

The Company'sSmith-Midland products are typically sold pursuant to an implicit warranty as to merchantability only. Warranty claims are reviewed and resolved on a case by case method. Although the Company does incur costs for these types of expense,warranty claims, historically the amount of expense issuch amounts are minimal.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Risk

Historically, various customers have comprised greater than 10% of revenue during a given quarter or year. These customers are typically not the same quarter to quarter or year to year. The Company views revenue details by jobs, and not customers. In the event a customer were to go out of business during a project, it is likely that the owner of the project would assign a new contractor to the job, and the Company would complete its scope of work. Therefore, the Company believes that it does not have a short-term vulnerability of severe impact to operations. In cases where customers are less than 10% of revenue, the Company assesses if there is a near term severe impact. The Company has determined that no customer, if lost, would result in a near term severe impact or the normal functioning of the Company’s operations.

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,decision-maker, or decision makingdecision-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.

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:

 

Althoughwhile the Company had net income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 there are no assurances that the Company can remain profitable in future periods; in line with this risk, the Company incurred a net operating loss for both the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022,

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,absences, and bidding restrictions within certain key states. The Company is continuing to experience delays in receipt of materials through its supply chain.

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 efficientenergy-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 willmay have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. The Company had 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. The Company is currently experiencing delays in receipt of materials through its 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 had 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 had 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) in the event of an 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;

On March 27, 2020, the Company completed the refinancing of existing loans with a note payable to the Bank in the amount of $2,701. A portion of the funds, in the amount of $678, werewas secured for improvements to an existing five acrefive-acre parcel for additional storage at the Midland, Virginia plant. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on the Virginia property, building, and assets. The refinance also released the lien on the Smith-Columbiamanufacturing plant in Hopkins, South Carolina (Columbia). The interest rate per the Promissory Note is fixed at 3.99% per annum, with principal and interest payments payable monthly over 120 months in the amount offor $27.

The Company additionally has 42 smaller installment loans with annual interest rates betweenof 2.90% and 6.84%3.99%, maturing between 2021 andin 2025, with varying balances totaling $140.$61.

 

Under the loan covenants with the Bank, the Company is limited to annual capital expenditures of $3,500 and must maintain tangible net worth of $10,000. The Company received a special exception to the capital expenditure covenant from the Bank to purchase barrier during 2022 for $5,000 (see Note 5 Commitments under Item 1 of the Financial Statements). The Company is in compliance with all covenants pursuant to the loan agreements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

 

In addition to the notes payable discussed above, on April 16, 2020, the Company obtained a loan, evidenced by a promissory note, under the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP") from the Bank in the amount of $2,692. The PPP provides for loans to qualifying businesses, the proceeds of which may only be used for payroll costs, rent, utilities, mortgage interest, and interest on other pre-existing indebtedness. The interest rate per the promissory note, dated April 16, 2020 and executed by the Company in favor of the Bank, was fixed at 1.00% per annum, with principal and interest payments starting thirty (30) days after the amount of forgiveness is determined under section 1106 of the CARES Act. The proceeds of the loan were required to be utilized pursuant to the requirements of the PPP, and all or a portion of the loan could be forgiven in accordance with the PPP applicable rules, regulations, and guidelines. On July 9, 2021, the Company received loan forgiveness for the full amount of the loan of $2,692.

Also in addition to the notes payable discussed above, the Company has a $4,000 line of credit with the Bank with no balance outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. The line of credit is evidenced by a commercial revolving promissory note which carries a variable interest rate of prime, with a floor of 3.50% per annum, and matures on October 1, 2022. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on the Company's accounts receivable and inventory and a second lien position on all other business assets. Key provisions of the line of credit require the Company (i) to obtain bank approval for capital expenditures in excess of $3,500 during the term of the loan;loan and (ii) to obtain bank approval prior to its funding of any acquisition. On October 21, 2021, 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 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, 2022. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company had not purchased any equipment pursuant to the $1,500 commitment.

 

At SeptemberOn June 30, 2021,2022, the Company had cash totaling $14,995 and investment securities totaling $1,243,$12,425 compared to cash totaling $8,764 and investment securities totaling $1,228 at$13,492 on December 31, 2020. Investment securities at September 30, 2021 consist of shares of USVAX (a Virginia Bond Fund).2021. The increasedecrease in cash is primarily the result of positive operating resultscash absorbed by operations during the first nine months of 2021.six month period ended June 30, 2022. More specifically, the Company’s accounts receivable position increased and significant income tax payments were remitted related to the 2021 tax year during the six month period ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s cash position will likely be further reduced related to the significant capital expenditures described in the following paragraph.

 

Capital spending for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, totaled $1,210,$1,962, as compared to $2,501$926 for the same period in 2020.2021. The 20212022 expenditures were mainlyprimarily for the purchasebuy-back of barrier for the barrier rental barrier, miscellaneous manufacturing equipment, and a vehicle.fleet. The Company intends to continue capital spending on maintenance capital expenditures as needed overinvest approximately $8,000 for the remainder offull year 2022, which includes a significant expansion in the year, which is expected to be approximately $1,000. With the increase in barrier rental biddingfleet with approximate costs of $5,000, and activity, the Company plans to purchase used barrierapproximately $1,500 for yard development, and manufacture barrier to increase the rental fleet capacity, which is expected to cost an additional $1,000.$1,500 for miscellaneous manufacturing equipment, excluding acquisitions and plant expansions (which none are anticipated at this time), although no assurance can be provided.

 

The Company's three mortgageoutstanding 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 3530 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 problemschallenges 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 8796 days for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, compared to 8991 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 its loan agreements and lose access to the credit facility. Although no assurances can be given, the Company believes that its 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 $3,196 at September$3,531 on June 30, 20212022, and $2,194 at$2,845 on December 31, 2020,2021, or an increase of $1,002.$686. The increase in inventory is mainly due to the increase of raw materials inventory on-hand compared to the prior year duerelated to strategic measures to purchase certain materials, when available, that may be more susceptible to supply chain issues.large utility projects in Virginia and large barrier projects in North Carolina. Inventory turnover was 16.3,13.1, annualized for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, compared to 14.9,15.4, annualized for the same period in 2020.2021.

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 a more significant 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.
