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 and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2023 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 income are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.

Recently Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to require the disclosure of segment expenses if they are (i) significant to the segment, (ii) regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and (iii) included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Public entities will be required to provide this disclosure quarterly. In addition, this ASU requires an annual disclosure of the CODM’s title and a description of how the CODM uses the segment’s profit/loss measure to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

Product Sales - Over Time

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-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 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 asset is recorded in accounts receivable trade - 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 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, 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 and the customers have gained control of the product.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances

The timing of when the Company bills the 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. The Company’s Accounts receivable trade – billed, arising from Topic 606 is $16,112 and $13,685 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

9

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Accounts receivable trade - unbilled" (contract assets). The Company’s Accounts receivable trade – unbilled (i.e. contract assets) balances are as follows:

	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Accounts receivable trade – unbilled, beginning of the period	$	525	$	990
Accounts receivable trade – unbilled, end of the period		637		2,534
Amounts invoiced in the period from amounts included at the beginning of the period		27		304

Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have cumulative billings in excess of costs and estimate earnings recognized to date, are reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Customer deposits" (contract liabilities). The Company’s Customer deposits (i.e. contract liabilities) balances are as follows:

	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Customer deposits, beginning of the period	$	2,779	$	737
Customer deposits, end of the period		2,950		2,494
Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included at the beginning of the period		705		433

Any uncollected billed amounts for our performance obligations recognized over time, including contract retentions, are recorded within accounts receivable trade - billed. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 accounts receivable included contract retentions of approximately $1,251 and $1,310, 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 an allowance for estimated expected credit losses. A considerable amount of judgment is required when determining expected credit losses. Estimates of such expected losses are recorded based on historical losses experienced by the Company, current macro- and micro-economic conditions, and expected macro- and micro-economic conditions. Additional reserves are accumulated when we believe a specific customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration in financial condition or credit rating. Factors relevant to our assessment include our prior collection history with our customers, the related aging of past due balances, projections of credit losses based on historical trends or past events, and forecasts of future economic conditions. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total allowances for credit losses were $953 and $806, respectively.

The rollforward of our allowance for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2023	$	806
Provision for Expected Credit Losses		147
Balance at March 31, 2024	$	953

10

Barrier Rentals - Lease Income

Leasing fees are paid by customers at the beginning of the lease agreement. We record amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue, as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis each month as lease income for the duration of the lease, in accordance with Topic 842, Leases.

Royalty Income

The Company licenses certain products to other precast companies to produce 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 every month. The revenues from licensing agreements are recognized in the month earned.

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.

Disaggregation of Revenue

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by primary sources of revenue:

Revenue by Type	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Soundwall Sales	$	2,980	$	1,046
Architectural Panel Sales		321		409
SlenderWall Sales		—		1,281
Miscellaneous Wall Sales		1,751		1,205
Barrier Sales		1,734		2,759
Easi-Set and Easi-Span Building Sales		1,039		1,007
Utility Sales		1,679		275
Miscellaneous Product Sales		1,248		260
Total Product Sales		10,752		8,242
Barrier Rentals		893		1,120
Royalty Income		575		411
Shipping and Installation Revenue		4,536		3,069
Total Service Revenue		6,004		4,600
Total Revenue	$	16,756	$	12,842

11

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, and shipping and installation revenue are recognized as revenue at a point in time.

Warranties

Smith-Midland products are typically sold pursuant to an implicit warranty of merchantability only. Warranty claims are reviewed and resolved on a case-by-case method. Although the Company does incur costs for warranty claims, historically such 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 by 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 to the Company’s operations.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company derived 10% of its revenue from one customer. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company derived 20% of its revenue from one customer. As of March 31, 2024, one customer’s outstanding receivable balance each equaled 12% of the total outstanding receivable balance. As of December 31, 2023, two customers’ outstanding receivable balance each equaled 10% of the total outstanding receivable balance.

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.

3. NOTES PAYABLE

The Company has a mortgage note payable to Summit Community Bank (the “Bank”) for the construction of the North Carolina facility. The note carries a ten-year term at a fixed interest rate of 3.64% annually per the Promissory Note Rate Conversion Agreement, with monthly payments of $22, and is secured by all of the assets of Smith-Carolina and a guarantee by the Company. The balance of the note payable at March 31, 2024 was $1,344. 

The Company also has a note payable to the Bank in the amount of $1,751 as of March 31, 2024. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on the Midland, VA plant, building, and assets. The interest rate per the Promissory Note is fixed at 3.99% per annum, with principal and interest payments payable monthly in the amount of $27. The loan matures on March 27, 2030.

On February 10, 2022, the Company completed the financing for its acquisition of certain real property in Midland, VA from the fourth quarter of 2021, totaling approximately 29.8 acres, with a note payable to the Bank with the original principal amount of $2,805. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on the related real property. The interest rate is fixed at 4.09% per annum, with principal and interest payments payable monthly over 180 months for $21. The loan matures on February 10, 2037. The balance of the note payable on March 31, 2024 was $2,510.

The Company additionally has two smaller installment loans with annual interest rates of 2.90% and 3.99%, maturing in 2025, with balances at March 31, 2024 totaling $24.

Under the loan covenants with the Bank, the Company is limited to annual capital expenditures of $5,000 and must maintain tangible net worth of $10,000. The Company is in compliance with all covenants pursuant to the loan agreements as of March 31, 2024.

In addition to the notes payable discussed above, the Company has a $5,000 line of credit with the Bank with no balance outstanding as of March 31, 2024. 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%, and matures on October 1, 2024. 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 $5,000 during the term of the loan and (ii) to obtain bank approval prior to its funding of any acquisition. On October 1, 2023, 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 1, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not purchased any equipment pursuant to the $1,500 commitment.

In 2021, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan with respect to the grant of stock pursuant to the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The final equity amount earned is based on continued service through the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2023, Board discretion, and performance results. The actual number of performance-based shares of common stock of the Company, if any, earned by the award recipients is determined based on measures that include Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) margin, revenue growth, and free cash flow. The EBITDA margin and revenue growth performance targets have been set for each of the Minimum, Target, and Maximum levels. The actual performance amount received is determined by the Compensation Committee and may be adjusted for items determined to be unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. As of the date of these financial statements, the final awarded amount has not been determined, however the stock compensation cost was recognized over the requisite performance/service period using the straight-line method and based on the probable number of shares to be awarded.

Awards are being amortized to expense ratably, based upon the vesting schedule. Stock compensation for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $5, based upon the value at the date of grant. Stock compensation for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $85, based upon the value at the date of grant. There was $29 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock as of March 31, 2024.

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:

· while the Company had net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 there are no assurances that the Company can remain profitable in future periods; in line with this risk, the Company incurred a loss from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2023,

· while we have expended significant funds in recent years to increase manufacturing capacity and the barrier rental fleet, and plan to continue to increase manufacturing capacity, there is no assurance that we will achieve significantly greater revenues,

· we have a substantial amount of debt and our ability to satisfy and meet our debt obligations cannot be assured,

· our cash significantly reduced during the first quarter of 2024 from December 31, 2023 reflecting the increase in capital expenditures and accounts receivables and there can be no assurance that the Company’s cash will not be further reduced,

· our accounts receivables has increased during through the first quarter of 2024 and during 2023, and our ability to fully collect these balances cannot be assured,

· we identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reports related to (i) the review procedures applied to the estimation of the allowance for credit losses; in this respect, we have designed and implemented enhanced control activities and management is still measuring the effectiveness of this process to determine proper remediation, and (ii) the review and posting of general ledger entries; in this respect, we are actively exploring potential functionality available with our general ledger system, as well as monitoring controls to effectively mitigate this weakness,

· our future revenue growth depends in part on future government spending on infrastructure, and there can be no assurance that such spending will occur or be in significant amounts,

· the continued availability of financing in the amounts, at the times, and on the terms required, to support our future business and capital projects,

· cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations; in this respect, we experienced a wire fraud incident in the second quarter of 2023,

· the extent to which we are successful in developing, acquiring, licensing, or securing patents for proprietary products,

· changes in economic conditions specific to any one or more of our markets (including the availability of public funds and grants for construction),

· the Company’s operations in 2023 were adversely impacted by inflation in the purchase of raw materials such as cement and aggregates, steel, and also with labor costs,

· changes in general economic conditions in our primary service areas,

· adverse weather, which inhibits the demand for our products, or the installation or completion of projects,

· our compliance with governmental regulations,

· the outcome of future litigation, if any,

· potential decreases in our year to year contract backlog,

Overview

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 and Northeastern regions and in parts of the Midwestern and Southeastern regions 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; 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. In addition, revenues are affected by the number, size, and timing of significant projects to which the Company is contracted. 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. 

Results of Operations (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Overall, the Company’s financial bottom line performance was higher for the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the first quarter of 2023. The Company had net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $1,147 compared to net income of $80 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Total revenue increased by $3,914 to $16,756 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $12,842 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in revenue is mainly from an increase in soundwall sales, utility sales, miscellaneous product sales, and shipping and installation revenue.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, decreased to 79% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 86% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily due to the increased production volumes which increased the absorption of overhead costs.

Operating income was $1,509 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $54 for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $2,402 compared to $2,112 for the first quarter of 2023. The increase is due to increased general and administrative costs as it relates to the allowance for credit losses.

Income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 was $357, or an effective tax rate of 24%, as compared to $23, or an effective tax rate of 22% for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.

16

As of May 7, 2024, the Company’s sales backlog was approximately $64.6 million, as compared to approximately $51.4 million around the same time in the prior year. It is estimated that most of the projects in the current sales backlog will be produced within 12 months, but a few will be produced over multiple years. The Company anticipates funding related to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to begin coming through the state and local governments in the latter half of 2024 and beyond to further promote growth in the revenue related to the highway, transportation, and infrastructure markets, although no assurance can be provided. The Company continues to increase marketing and sales efforts towards SlenderWall sales and barrier rentals, in line with long-term strategic objectives.

Three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023   

Revenue includes product sales, barrier rentals, royalty income, and shipping and installation revenues. Product sales are further divided into soundwall, architectural and SlenderWall™ panels, miscellaneous wall panels, highway barrier, Easi-Set® buildings, utility products, and miscellaneous precast products. The following table summarizes the sales by product type and comparison for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

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, and shipping and installation revenue are recognized as revenue at a point in time.

Soundwall Sales - Soundwall sales were significantly higher for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is due to higher production volumes at all three plants, as the Company begins increasing production output to execute and deliver on the Company’s increased backlog. Soundwall sales are expected to trend similarly throughout the remainder 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, although no assurance can be given.

Architectural Panel Sales - Architectural panel sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease is related to production for an architectural project that did not begin production until the end of the first quarter of 2024. Architectural sales are expected to trend higher throughout 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, although no assurance can be given.

SlenderWall Sales - SlenderWall sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. A SlenderWall project was in production during the first quarter of 2023 and the Company did not have a SlenderWall project in production during the first quarter of 2024. The Company continues to focus sales initiatives on SlenderWall, but no assurance can be given as to the success of this endeavor.

17

Miscellaneous Wall Sales - Miscellaneous wall sales increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 due to the increased production volumes at the Virginia and South Carolina plants. The increase is related to increased production volumes to execute and deliver on the Company’s increased backlog. Miscellaneous wall sales are expected to trend similarly throughout 2024 as the first quarter of 2024, although no assurance can be provided.

Barrier Sales - Barrier sales decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease is due to the completion of large barrier projects in North Carolina and South Carolina during 2023. Barrier sales are expected to trend similarly throughout 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, although no assurance can be given. The Company continues to shift marketing efforts from barrier sales to barrier rentals in the Delaware to Virginia region.

Easi-Set® and Easi-Span Building Sales - Building and restroom sales increased slightly for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to increased building sales at all manufacturing plants. Building and restroom sales are expected to continue to trend similarly throughout the remainder of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Utility Sales - Utility sales increased significantly for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The Company has seen a surge in demand for utility vaults in the Northern Virginia market to support the data center growth. Utility sales are expected to trend similarly for the remainder of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, although no assurance can be provided.

Miscellaneous Product Sales - Miscellaneous products are products that are produced or sold that do not meet the criteria defined for other revenue categories. Examples would include precast concrete slabs, concrete blocks, or small add-on items. Miscellaneous product sales increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly from the Virginia plant that started production on one large project for the production of precast beams and platforms. Miscellaneous product sales are expected to trend similarly throughout 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, although no assurance can be given.

Barrier Rentals – Barrier rentals decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease is mainly attributed to a shift to long-term rental projects, which carries a lower price per linear foot, from short-term rental projects. Barrier rental revenue, excluding revenue from special barrier projects, is expected to trend higher throughout 2024 as compared to barrier rental revenue, excluding revenue from special barrier projects, in the first quarter of 2024, although no assurance can be given.

Royalty Income – Royalties increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is related to higher barrier production volumes experienced by the Company’s licensees. It is expected that infrastructure spending and the start of production by licensees of a new, low profile barrier that utilizes the J-J Hook system, will continue to drive royalties. The Company expects royalties for 2024 to exceed royalty income for the full year 2023, although no assurance can be given.

Shipping and Installation – Shipping revenue results from shipping our products to the customers' final destination and is recognized when the shipping services take place. Installation activities include installation of our products at the customers’ construction site. Installation revenue results when attaching architectural wall panels to a building, installing an Easi-Set® or Easi-Span building at a customers' site, setting highway barrier, or setting any of our other precast products at a site specific to the requirements of the owner. Shipping and installation revenues increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly attributed to the increase in shipping and installation of SlenderWall and architectural panels. This increase in shipping and installation revenue correlates with the increased production of SlenderWall panels that occurred, and for which revenue was previously recognized, throughout 2023.

18

Cost of Sales - Total cost of sales as a percent of revenue, excluding royalties, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 79%, as compared to 86% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, is due to the increase in overall production volumes, which increased the absorption of overhead costs. Finally, the decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, decreased due to production throughout the first quarter of 2024 related to contracts that factored in the rising inflationary costs experienced throughout 2022 and 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses - For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company's general and administrative expenses increased by $199 to $1,549 from $1,350 during the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in expense related to the allowance for credit losses. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue was 9% and 11% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Selling Expenses - Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased to $853 from $762 for the same period in 2023. The increase in selling expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, is due to the hiring of additional salespeople and increased commissions. The Company expects selling expenses to increase in future periods with the plan for additional sales associates and increased advertising spending aligning with the strategy to increase SlenderWall sales and barrier rentals.

Operating Income (Loss) - The Company had operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 of $1,509 compared to $54 for the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly due to the increase in revenue and decrease in cost of sales as a percent of revenue.

Interest Expense - Interest expense was $60 and $64 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company expects interest expense for the full year of 2024 to be lower compared to the full year of 2023 due to the decrease in level of indebtedness.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) - The Company had an income tax expense of $357, or an effective tax rate of 24%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to income tax expense of $23, or an effective tax rate of 22% for the same period in 2023.

Net Income (Loss) - The Company had net income of $1,147 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $80 for the same period in 2023. The basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.22 and $0.21, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (dollar amounts in thousands)

The Company has a mortgage note payable to Summit Community Bank (the “Bank”) for the construction of its North Carolina facility. The note carries a ten-year term at a fixed interest rate of 3.64% annually per the Promissory Note Rate Conversion Agreement, with monthly payments of $22, and is secured by all of the assets of Smith-Carolina and a guarantee by the Company. The balance of the note payable at March 31, 2024 was $1,344. 

The Company also has a note payable to the Bank in the amount of $1,751 as of March 31, 2024. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on the Midland, VA plant, building, and assets. The interest rate per the Promissory Note is fixed at 3.99% per annum, with principal and interest payments payable monthly in the amount of $27. The loan matures on March 27, 2030.

On February 10, 2022, the Company completed the financing for its acquisition of certain real property in Midland, VA from the fourth quarter of 2021, totaling approximately 29.8 acres, with a note payable to the Bank with the original principal amount of $2,805. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on the related real property. The interest rate is fixed at 4.09% per annum, with principal and interest payments payable monthly over 180 months for $21. The loan matures on February 10, 2037. The balance of the note payable on March 31, 2024 was $2,510.

19

The Company additionally has two smaller installment loans with annual interest rates of 2.90% and 3.99%, maturing in 2025, with balances at March 31, 2024 totaling $24.

Under the loan covenants with the Bank, the Company is limited to annual capital expenditures of $5,000 and must maintain tangible net worth of $10,000. The Company is in compliance with all covenants pursuant to the loan agreements as of March 31, 2024.

In addition to the notes payable discussed above, the Company has a $5,000 line of credit with the Bank with no balance outstanding as of March 31, 2024. 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%, and matures on October 1, 2024. 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 $5,000 during the term of the loan and (ii) to obtain bank approval prior to its funding of any acquisition. On October 1, 2023, 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 1, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not purchased any equipment pursuant to the $1,500 commitment.

The Company's outstanding notes payable are financed at fixed rates of interest. This leaves the Company protected from fluctuating interest rates. Increases in such rates will only affect the interest paid by the Company if new debt is obtained, or the available line of credit is drawn upon, with a variable interest rate.

On March 31, 2024, the Company had cash totaling $6,801 compared to cash totaling $9,175 on December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash is primarily the result of cash absorbed by investing activities through capital spending as described in further detail below. Additionally, the cash balance decreased as a result of the increase in the Company’s accounts receivable position. The Company expects its cash position to be favorably affected to the extent that it is successful in collecting outstanding accounts receivable balances.

The Company’s accounts receivable balances, net of allowance, at March 31, 2024 was $20,055, compared to $17,209 at December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily the result of increased sales volumes.

Capital spending for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $1,795 as compared to $1,164 for the same period in 2023. The 2024 expenditures were primarily for a new batch plant system for the South Carolina manufacturing facility, utility vault forms for increased production capacity, and crash cushions to expand the Company’s rental product offering. The Company intends to invest approximately $5,000, for the full year 2024, which includes expansion of the North Carolina manufacturing facility, soundwall forms for increased production capacity, and miscellaneous manufacturing equipment. Anticipated capital expenditures excludes possible acquisitions. 

The Company’s cash flow from operations is affected by production schedules set by contractors, which generally provide for payment 30 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 challenges 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 109 days for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 122 days for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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 $6,951 on March 31, 2024, and $5,150 on December 31, 2023, or an increase of $1,801. The increase in inventory is mainly due to the increase of finished goods inventory compared to the prior year. The increase is related to inventory needed on-hand for the anticipated delivery schedules as it relates to utility vaults in 2024. Inventory turnover was 9.7, annualized for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 13.4, annualized for the same period in 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s critical accounting policies are more fully described in its Summary of Accounting Policies to the Company’s consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. 

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.

Inflation

Raw material costs used in production have slightly increased for the first three months of 2024. The Company anticipates raw material prices to slightly increase for the remainder of 2024, although no assurance can be given regarding future pricing.

Sales Backlog

As of May 7, 2024, the Company’s sales backlog was approximately $64.6 million, as compared to approximately $51.4 million at the same time in 2023. It is estimated that the majority of the projects in the sales backlog will be produced within 12 months, with a portion extending several years.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not Applicable

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, as a result of our material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting previously disclosed within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In this respect, management identified a material weakness in the methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses and a material weakness in the review and approval of journal entries. Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses, management believes that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition as reported, in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

The following previously reported material weaknesses, as previously reported within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, continue to exist at March 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses – As previously reported, the Company identified a material weakness related to the review of its allowances. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain the adequate management review controls related to the review over the determination of expected credit losses.

Journal Entries – The Company did not design and maintain effective processes and controls to ensure all journal entries are properly reviewed and approved prior to posting to the general ledger. Additionally, the Company did not maintain proper segregation of duties within its general ledger system as it relates to logical access to post and approve manual journal entries.

Remediation Efforts

Management is committed to the remediation of the material weaknesses described above.

To address the material weakness associated with the review of the allowance for credit losses, management has designed and implemented enhanced control activities that includes detailed documentation of matters considered while preparing and reviewing the allowance for credit losses. While management believes they have effectively designed and implemented an enhanced review control, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the control operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively.

To address the material weakness associated with the review and posting of journal entries, management is actively exploring potential functionality available with the Company’s general ledger system, as well as the need for monitoring controls to effectively mitigate the risk.
