SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION LISTED ON OTC BULLETIN BOARD

Midland,  Virginia,  October 6, 1999 - Smith-Midland  Corporation (OTC BB: SMID,
SMIDW)  announced  today that the  Company's  common stock will be listed on The
OTC-Bulletin Board effective  immediately.  The Company's trading symbol for the
Common  Stock on the  OTC-Bulletin  Board  will be SMID and the  symbol  for the
Company's  publicly traded  Redeemable  Warrants will be SMIDW.  The Company had
been listed on The Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market , but the price of the common  stock

While  Smith-Midland  Corporation  failed to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price and
net tangible assets requirements as of March 31, 1999, the Company was granted a
temporary  exception  from  these  standards  subject to  Smith-Midland  meeting
certain conditions on or before each of August 16th, August 20th, September 30th
and October  15th,  1999.  The Company met all other terms of the  exception  to
date, but did not meet the minimum bid price requirements specified by Nasdaq.

This announcement  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.  Factors which 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 in other  filings  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.
