Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Dayton Superior Corporation's ("Dayton Superior") outstanding 10 3/4% Senior
Second Secured Notes due 2008 (the "Senior Second Secured Notes") are secured by
a second priority lien on substantially all of Dayton Superior's domestic
property and assets (subject to certain exceptions) and all of the capital stock
or other securities of all domestic subsidiaries and a portion of the capital
stock or other securities of any foreign subsidiaries owned by Dayton Superior
or any domestic subsidiary, but in each case, only to the extent that the
aggregate principal amount, par value, book value as carried by Dayton Superior
or market value (whichever is greatest) of any such capital stock or other
securities of any subsidiary is not equal to or greater than 20% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Second Secured Notes outstanding. In
addition, the Senior Second Secured Notes are guaranteed by each of Dayton
Superior's domestic subsidiaries, and the subsidiary guarantees are secured by a
second priority lien on substantially all of the domestic property and assets of
the domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions).

Dayton Superior's 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Senior
Subordinated Notes") are unsecured and are subordinated to all existing and
future senior indebtedness and other liabilities of Dayton Superior. The Senior
Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by each of Dayton
Superior's domestic subsidiaries.

Effective the close of business December 31, 2004, all of Dayton Superior's
wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (consisting of Symons Corporation, Aztec
Concrete Accessories, Inc., Dur-O-Wal, Inc, Trevecca Holdings, Inc., Dayton
Superior Specialty Chemical Corp. and Southern Construction Products, Inc.) were
merged into Dayton Superior. Dayton Superior was the surviving corporation in
the merger and now directly operates the businesses that were being operated by
the domestic subsidiaries immediately prior to the merger.

As a result of the merger, the guarantees by the merged subsidiaries of the
Senior Second Secured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes and the pledge of
the capital stock of certain of the merged subsidiaries that secured the Senior
Second Secured Notes immediately prior to the merger ceased to exist, effective
as of December 31, 2004. As the surviving corporation in the merger; however,
Dayton Superior, which is the issuer of the Senior Second Secured Notes and the
Senior Subordinated Notes, succeeded to all of the assets and liabilities of
each of the merged subsidiaries that had been guarantors of the notes.
