Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Smith-Midland Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997. In the opinion of the management of Smith-Midland Corporation (the "Company"), the accompanying 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-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The results disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods. Principles of Consolidation The Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Smith-Midland Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Smith-Midland Corporation, a Virginia corporation; Easi-Set Industries, Inc., a Virginia corporation; Smith-Carolina Corporation, a North Carolina corporation; Concrete Safety Systems, Inc., a Virginia corporation; and Midland Advertising & Design, Inc., a Virginia corporation. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market. 7 SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited Property and Equipment Property and equipment, net is stated at depreciated cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Costs of betterments, renewals, and major replacements are capitalized. At the time properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and allowance for depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is reflected in income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Years ----- Buildings...................................................... 10-33 Trucks and automotive equipment................................ 3-10 Shop machinery and equipment................................... 3-10 Land improvements.............................................. 10-30 Office equipment............................................... 3-10 Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is based on earnings reported in the financial statements. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by applying currently enacted tax laws and rates to the expected reversal of the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred income tax expense is measured by the change in the deferred income tax asset or liability during the year. No provision for income taxes has been made for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, as the Company does not expect to incur income tax expense for 1998 and did not incur income tax expense during 1997. Revenue Recognition The Company primarily recognizes revenue on the sale of its standard precast concrete products at shipment date, including revenue derived from any projects to be completed under short-term contracts. Installation services for precast concrete products, leasing and royalties are recognized as revenue as they are earned on an accrual basis. Licensing fees are recognized under the accrual method unless collectibility is in doubt, in which event revenue is recognized as cash is received. Certain sales of soundwall and SlenderwallTM 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. 8 SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 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 (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilutive effect of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. At June 30, 1998 there was no material dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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 SlenderwallTM, a patent-pending, lightweight, energy efficient concrete and steel exterior wall panel for use in building construction; J-J HooksTM Highway Safety Barrier, a patented, positive-connected highway safety barrier; Sierra Wall, a sound barrier primarily for roadside use; and transportable concrete buildings. In addition, the Company produces utility vaults, farm products such as cattleguards, and water and feed troughs, and custom order precast concrete products with various architectural surfaces. 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, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the Company's operations for the year ending December 31, 1998. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, product demand, the impact of competitive products and pricing, capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, general business and economic conditions, the effect of the Company's accounting policies and other risks detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of Operations Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997 For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had total revenue of $3,557,951 compared to total revenue of $3,537,513 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $20,438, or 0.6%. Total product sales were $3,142,943 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $3,163,570 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $20,627, or 0.7%. Shipping and installation revenue was $415,008 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and $373,943 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $41,065, or 11%. The increase was attributable to higher shipping volume which was offset in part by lower installation revenue earned during the three-month period in 1998, compared to the same period in 1997. Total cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $2,833,239, an increase of $236,940, or 9% from $2,596,299 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in cost and usage of materials used in the manufacturing process and the learning curve associated with manufacturing a higher level of Slenderwall(TM) products. The production of this architectural precast panel product has placed new demands on the production and engineering departments requiring tighter controls and the development of innovative techniques and production processes. This is 10 an ongoing investment in future capacity and management is working to meet these challenges and control costs. Total cost of goods sold, as a percentage of total revenue, increased to 80% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from 73% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 primarily due to the factors just stated. Management anticipates that these increased costs will continue for the balance of the year. The start-up of an additional manufacturing facility at the Midland, Virginia plant, anticipated in early 1999 will contribute to these costs. When this new facility fully operational, there should be new economies and efficiencies that will help to offset the costs of this current learning curve, although there can be no assurances in this regard. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's general and administrative expenses decreased $177,171 to $400,238 from $577,409 during the same period in 1997. The 31% decrease is attributed in part to staff vacancies resulting in reduced salary and related expenses and to reduced legal, professional and consulting fees during the 1998 period when compared to the 1997 period. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $55,562 to $171,868 from $116,306 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, resulting from increased cost of marketing and bidding on the Slenderwall(TM) product and increases in salary and commission expense. The Company's operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $152,606, compared to operating income of $247,499 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $94,893, or 38%. The reduced operating income resulted primarily from the increased cost of goods sold offset, in part, by lower general and administrative expenses as discussed above. Royalty income totaled $23,994 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $44,525 for the same three months in 1997. The decrease of $20,531, or 46%, was primarily due to a credit given for a reduction in the scope of a licensing contract and the resulting reversal of previously recognized royalty income of approximately $15,500. Interest expense was $200,307 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $93,219 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase of $107,088, or 115%, was primarily due to interest, lease buyout amounts and miscellaneous fees associated with the early retirement of approximately 27 notes and capital leases as a result of the Company's debt restructuring in June 1998 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). The net loss was $16,934 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net income of $204,310 for the same period in 1997. The basic and diluted net loss per share for the current three month period was $.01 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $.07 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. 11 Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had total revenue of $6,584,611 compared to total revenue of $5,618,303 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $966,308, or 17%. Total product sales were $5,710,915 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $4,950,903 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $760,012, or 15%. The increase resulted primarily from increased Slenderwall(TM) revenue in the 1998 period. Shipping and installation revenue was $873,696 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $667,400 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $206,296, or 31%. The increase is attributable to higher shipping activity and increased installation revenue in the 1998 period, as compared to the 1997 period. Total cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $5,048,302, an increase of $898,465, or 22%, from $4,149,837 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of both increased revenue and increased cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue. Total cost of goods sold, as a percentage of total revenue, increased to 77% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 74% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 primarily due to the increased costs experienced during the second quarter, as explained above. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's general and administrative expenses decreased $86,038, or 8%, to $968,049, from $1,054,087 during the same period in 1997. The decrease was attributed to the decreased second quarter expenses explained above, partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of this year. Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $29,412, or 10%, to $321,284 from $291,872 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of increased salary and commissions expense and increases in marketing bidding expenses. The Company's operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $246,976, compared to operating income of $122,507 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $124,469, or 102%. The improved operating income resulted primarily from increased sales and decreased operating expense as discussed above. Royalty income totaled $62,445 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $80,164 for the same six months in 1997. The decrease of $17,719 was largely due to a credit given for a reduction in the scope of a licensing contract and the resulting reversal of previously recognized royalty income of approximately $15,500. Interest expense was $294,364 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $197,233 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase of $97,131, or 49%, was primarily due to interest, lease buyout amounts and miscellaneous fees associated with the early retirement of approximately 27 notes and capital leases as part of the Company's debt restructuring in June 1998 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). 12 Net income was $45,986 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net income of $43,035 for the same period in 1997. The basic and diluted earnings per share for the current six month period was $.02 compared to $.01 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has financed its capital expenditures, operating requirements and growth to date primarily with proceeds from operations, its initial public offering ("IPO") and bank and other borrowings.The Company had $4,139,693 of indebtedness at June 30, 1998, of which approximately $50,000 is scheduled to mature within twelve months. In June 1998 the Company successfully restructured substantially all of its debt into one $4,000,000 note with The First National Bank of New England ("FNB"), headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut. The Company closed on this loan on June 25, 1998. The Company obtained a twenty three year term on this note at 1.5% above prime, secured by equipment and real estate. The term of the note dramatically improved the Company's current debt ratio and debt service. Current debt decreased from $2,330,091 at March 31, 1998 to $50,280 at June 30, 1998. In addition to paying off existing debt of approximately $2.9 million, the Company received approximately $832,000 in restricted funds, to be used only for plant expansion and new equipment. The loan is guaranteed in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business-Cooperative Service's loan guarantee. Under the terms of the note, the Company's unfinanced fixed asset expenditures are limited to $300,000 per year for a five year period. In addition, FNB will permit chattel mortgages on purchased equipment not to exceed $200,000 on an annual basis so long as the Company is not in default. The Company was also granted a $500,000 operating line of credit by FNB. This commercial revolving promissory note terminates on May 1, 1999 and carries a variable interest rate of 1% above prime. This line, which had not yet been utilized at June 30, 1998, will be used to meet day to day operating needs. Other Comments The Company has not completed its assessment of the effect of the year 2000 on the Company's data processing systems and operations, but the Company expects that the costs incurred in the preparation for the year 2000 will not have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow or results of operations. The Company is currently planning to send questionnaires to its suppliers and customers to ensure that they are taking steps to be year 2000 compliant. However, if the Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to address this issue in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial risk to the Company. In order to assure this does not occur, the Company plans to devote all resources required to resolve any significant year 2000 issues in a timely manner. The Company performs a portion of its concrete pouring and curing processes on uncovered, outdoor manufacturing areas. During the winter months, cold or adverse weather causes a slowdown or cessation of these outdoor production activities, thereby reducing the Company's production capacity. However, The Company is in the process of building an additional manufacturing facility at its Midland, Virginia location which will bring these operations inside and out of the weather and significantly increase annual manufacturing capacity. Completion of this facility is anticipated for early 1999, although there can be no assurance of such timing. In addition, the Company services the construction 13 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 the spring construction season. However, as of the date of this filing, the Company's backlog is approximately $5.3 million, of which approximately $2.2 million represents firm contracts for Slenderwall(TM) and architectural pre-cast concrete products. Management believes that the Company's operations have not been materially affected by inflation. 14 PART II - Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings. In late 1995, the Company filed four separate informal claims totaling approximately $502,000 for damages and costs incurred as a result of specification, policy and operating changes to contracts primarily instituted by the State of Maryland, including the then newly issued "Noise Barrier Acceptance Criteria," all of which were undertaken after the award of contracts and after unit production in accordance with the contracts was virtually complete. In 1996, the Company filed additional claims against the State of Maryland related to the same contracts in the amount of $578,500 which brought the amount of the total claims to $1,080,500. In early 1996, the Company received several counterclaims from the State of Maryland. All amounts due each party are currently in dispute. The Company has considered the counterclaims in estimating the recoverability of its claims and certain trade accounts receivable at June 30, 1998. Specifically, the State of Maryland adjusted its noise barrier acceptance criteria over a period of several months during 1995 with the latest version dated October 13, 1995. The Company believes that these provisions were significantly different than contract provisions and historical acceptance criteria upon which the jobs were bid, and for which the Company was contracted. The Company incurred significant costs to rework panels and in certain instances construct new panels to comply with the new standards. Additionally, the Company lost production time and revenue on other contracts due to the time devoted to address the criteria changes. The Company has continued to pursue collection on the claims filed and has hired an attorney who specializes in this area. According to the Company's attorney, there is substantial likelihood that the State Highway Administration ("SHA") will compensate the prime contractors for SHA's improper actions, and the Company will receive additional compensation. Approximately $270,000 of the total contract claims is included in trade accounts receivable at June 30, 1998. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds. None. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities. None Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. On June 18, 1998 the Company held its annual meeting of Stockholders.
