SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 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 and
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we have condensed or omitted
certain information and footnote disclosures that are included in
our annual 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,
2018. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2018
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 operations are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected in any future periods.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting
Pronouncements
Leases.
In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”
Topic 842 establishes a new lease accounting model for leases. The
most significant changes include the clarification of the
definition of a lease, the requirement for lessees to recognize for
all leases a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the
consolidated balance sheet, and additional quantitative and
qualitative disclosures which are designed to give financial
statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty
of cash flows arising from leases. Expenses are recognized in the
consolidated statement of income in a manner similar to current
accounting guidance. Lessor accounting under the new standard is
substantially unchanged. We adopted this standard, and all related
amendments thereto, effective January 1, 2019, using the transition
approach, which applies the provisions of the new guidance at the
effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented.
We have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under
the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other
things, allows us to carry forward the historical accounting
relating to lease identification and classification for existing
leases upon adoption. We have made an accounting policy election to
keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the
consolidated balance sheet. We have finalized our evaluation of the
impacts that the adoption of this accounting guidance on the
consolidated financial statements and have approximately $400 of
right-of-use assets, included in property and equipment, and
liabilities recognized in our consolidated balance sheet, amortized
over the expected lives of the leases upon adoption.
Comprehensive
Income. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,
“Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic
220).” This standard provides an option to reclassify
stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) (“AOCI”) to retained earnings due to the U.S.
federal corporate income tax rate change in the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act of 2017. This standard was effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We did not
exercise the option to make this reclassification.

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
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 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 - 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 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.

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 as they have gained
physical possession of the product.
Accounts Receivable and
Contract Balances
The timing of when we
bill our customers is generally dependent upon 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 - unbilled". 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as
customer deposits (i.e. contract liabilities).
Any uncollected billed
amounts for our performance obligations recognized over time,
including contract retentions, are recorded within accounts
receivable. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accounts
receivable included contract retentions of approximately $1,389 and
$1,704, respectively.
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-identified potential uncollectible receivables. At
March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our allowances for doubtful
accounts were $228 and $214, respectively.
10
Sale to Customer with a
Buy-Back Guarantee
The
Company entered into a buy-back agreement with one specific
customer. Under this agreement, the Company guaranteed to buy-back
product at a predetermined price at the end of the long-term
project, subject to the condition of the product. Although the
Company receives payment in full as the product is produced, we are
required to account for these transactions as operating leases. The
amount of sale proceeds equal to the buy-back obligation, included
in "Deferred buy-back lease obligation" in the liabilities section
of the consolidated balance sheet, is deferred until the buy-back
is exercised or expired. 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. 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.
In the
case the customer does not exercise the buy-back option and retains
ownership of the product at the end of the usage period, the
guarantee buyback 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. If the
customer exercises the buy-back guarantee option, the Company
purchases the product back in the amount equal to the buyback
guarantee, we settle any remaining deferred balances, in excess of
the buy-back payment, to leasing revenue, and we reclassify the net
book value of the product on the consolidated balance sheet to
"Inventories" or "Property and equipment, net" depending on the
intended use at the time. The revenue is being recognized in
accordance with Topic 840, Leases.
Barrier Rentals - Leasing
Fees
Leasing fees are paid by
customers at the beginning of the lease agreement and are recorded
as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is then recognized
each month as lease income for the duration of the lease, in
accordance with Topic 840, Leases.
Topic 840 is applied, as Topic 606-10-15-2 provides a scope
exception for lease contracts.
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 on a monthly
basis. The revenues from licensing agreements are recognized
in the month earned, in accordance with Topic
606-10-55-65.
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.

Warranties
Smith-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, historically the amount of
expense is 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.
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.
12
Reclassifications of Certain
Items Included within Comparable Prior Year Periods and Previous
Current Year Interim Periods
Certain minor
reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform
to current year presentation, including separation of current and
non-current portion of deferred revenue and deferred buy-back lease
obligation.
NOTE 2. – NET INCOME
(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per
common share exclude all common stock equivalents, primarily
restricted stock awards, and is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted
earnings per common share calculation reflects the potential
dilutive effect of securities that could share in earnings of the
Company. As of March 31, 2019, there are no outstanding stock
options. For periods prior to March 31, 2019 outstanding options
were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation when
they would have an anti-dilutive effect. Earnings per share are
calculated as follows:

NOTE 3. – NOTES PAYABLE
(dollar amounts in thousands)
The Company has a
mortgage note payable to Summit Community Bank (the
“Bank”), with a balance of $730 as of March 31,
2019. The note has a maturity date of September 20, 2021 and a
fixed interest rate of 3.99% annually with monthly payments of $26
and is secured by principally all of the assets of the
Company. Under the terms of the note, the Bank will permit
chattel mortgages on purchased equipment not to exceed $250 for any
one individual loan so long as the Company is not in
default.
The Company has a
mortgage note payable to the Bank for the the purchase of the
Columbia, South Carolina facility. Such loan is evidenced by a
promissory note dated July 19, 2016. The note provides for a 15
year term, a fixed annual interest rate of 5.29%, monthly fixed
payments of $11 and a security interest in favor of the Bank in
respect of the land, building and fixtures purchased with the
proceeds of the loan. The balance of the loan at March 31, 2019 was
$1,153.
The Company additionally
has 13 smaller installment loans with annual interest rates between
2.94% and 5.75% and varying balances totaling $1,442.
Under the loan covenants
with the Bank, the Company is limited to annual capital
expenditures of $3,500. The Company is in compliance with all
covenants pursuant to the loan agreements as of March 31,
2019.
In
addition to the notes payable discussed above, the Company also has
a $4,000 line of credit with the Bank that had a balance of $1,500
at March 31, 2019 used to fund the construction of the North
Carolina expansion, which will be converted to long-term debt when
the financing closes in 2019. The line of credit is evidenced by a
commercial revolving promissory note which carries a variable
interest rate of prime and matures on September 18, 2019. 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; and (ii) to obtain
bank approval prior to its funding any acquisition. On September
18, 2018 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 with minimum advances of $50 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
.5% with a floor of 4.49% 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 September
17, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had not purchased any
equipment pursuant to the $1,500 commitment.

ITEM 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
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 was profitable for the years ended December 31, 2018
and 2017, and for the first quarter 2019, there are no assurances
that the Company can remain profitable in future
periods,
●
our debt level
increased in 2018 and in the first quarter 2019, and our ability to
satisfy the same cannot be assured,
●
the continued
availability of financing in the amounts, at the times, and on the
terms required, to support our future business and capital
projects,
●
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),
●
changes in general
economic conditions in the Company’s primary service
areas,
●
adverse weather,
which inhibits the demand for our products,
●
our compliance with
governmental regulations,
●
the outcome of future
litigation, if any,
●
on material construction projects, our ability to
produce and install product that conforms to contract
specifications and in a time frame that meets the contract
requirements,
●
the cyclical nature of the construction
industry,
●
our exposure to increased interest expense
payments should interest rates change,
●
the Company’s Board of Directors, which is
composed of five members, has only two outside, independent
directors, and
●
the other factors and information disclosed and
discussed in other sections of this Report and in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2018.
Investors and
shareholders should carefully consider such risks, uncertainties
and other information, disclosures and discussions which contain
cautionary statements identifying important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those provided in
the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

Overview
The Company invents,
develops, manufactures, markets, leases, licenses, sells, and
installs a broad array of precast concrete products 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 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 which 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.
The Company had (in thousands) net income of $331
for the first quarter 2019 compared to a net loss of $422 for the
first quarter 2018. The cost of goods sold as a percent of revenue,
not including royalties, for the three months ended March 31, 2019
was 81%, as compared to 85% for the three months ended March 31,
2018. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of
revenue, not including royalties, for the first quarter of 2019,
compared to the first quarter of 2018, is due to the increase in
SlenderWall sales and barrier rentals which tend to have higher
margins than commodity products and services. Total sales for the
three month period ended March 31, 2019 were $10,189 compared to
$9,125 for the same period in 2018. The increase was mainly from
SlenderWall and Easi-Set building sales, and barrier rentals, which
were impacted favorably from the deferred buy-back revenue
recognition, and shipping and installation revenue. With respect to
the barrier customer contract described in Note 1 ("Sale to
Customer with a Buy-Back Guarantee"), although barrier product sales from
this contract are not being recognized, the Company has begun
recognizing barrier rental revenue which will continue through the
life of the customer's project. Accordingly, once all product is
delivered to this customer, the Company will nonetheless continue
to recognize the net profits from this project until the buy-back
option is either exercised or expired. Delivery of product
commenced in the second quarter of 2018 and is expected to be
completed during the third quarter of 2019. The buy-back option
expires when the customer completes the project utilizing the
barrier, which is expected to be in 2022. Thus, whereas the Company
will likely have completed its production and delivery/installation
obligations in 2019, it will nonetheless continue to
recognize net profits through 2022. Management expects sales
and margins to increase for the remainder of 2019 as compared to
the first quarter 2019, although no assurance can be
given.

Soundwall
Sales - Soundwall sales decreased for the three month period
ended March 31, 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018. The
decrease for the three month period in soundwall sales is mainly
attributed to the reduction in soundwall production at the South
Carolina plant in the first quarter 2019. The Virginia plant has
increased soundwall production for their largest order ever, which
will continue production into 2020. North Carolina soundwall
production continues to be strong in 2019. With the current backlog
and continued increase in highway work, management expects
soundwall sales to trend up for the remainder of the year
2019.
Architectural
Panel Sales - Architectural panel sales were zero for the
three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $213 during the same
period in 2018. Revenue is expected to remain at a low volume
through the remainder of 2019. There will be production during the
second quarter 2019, but this will not be a large portion of
revenue. Architectural panel sales continue to be a smaller
complimentary product to the Company's high profile proprietary
product SlenderWall.
SlenderWallTM
- There were significant SlenderWall panel sales for the
three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same
period in 2018, with an increase in revenue of $820, or 72%.
SlenderWall sales are projected to be slightly lower for the second
quarter, but the Company continues to have strong demand for this
proprietary product. SlenderWall continues to remain a focus of the
Company, with the hiring of a new regional sales manager with the
main focus on SlenderWall.
17
Miscellaneous
Wall Sales - Miscellaneous wall sales decreased for the
three month period ended March 31, 2019, when compared to the same
period in 2018. The Company had very few miscellaneous wall
projects during the first three months of 2019 and 2018. With
varying market demand, miscellaneous wall sales are expected to
remain low for 2019 until selective miscellaneous wall projects are
released, which can be very profitable due to their unique
characteristics.
Barrier
Sales - Barrier sales
decreased during the three month period ended March 31, 2019,
compared to the same periods in 2018. Although barrier production
has decreased, the Company is completing production of its largest
order ever during the second quarter of 2019. A large portion of
production is not being recognized as barrier sales due to the
guaranteed buy-back agreement with a customer; instead the Company
is recognizing the income as barrier rental revenue over the
duration of the project, for which deliveries began in the second
quarter of 2018 and are expected to be completed during the third
quarter 2019. Accordingly, during and after product delivery to
this customer, the Company will recognize the revenue as barrier
rental revenue until the buy-back option is either exercised or
expired, which is expected to be in 2022. Thus, whereas the Company
is likely to have completed its production and delivery of all
product in 2019, it will recognize net profits through 2022.
Management expects barrier sales to be lower for 2019 as compared
to annual barrier sales for 2018. Beyond 2019 future barrier sales
growth is expected with the new MASH TL3 requirements, although no
assurance can be given.
Easi-Set®
and Easi-Span® Building Sales - Building and restroom
sales increased significantly for the three month period ended
March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, by $532 or
106%. The Company continues to produce buildings at all three
manufacturing facilities. The Columbia, South Carolina plant
recently received a large building order and management expects
there to be an increase during the second quarter of 2019 in
building and restroom sales, and also expects 2019 annual sales to
match or exceed 2018 annual sales.
Utility
Sales - Utility and farm products sales increased in the
three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same
period in 2018. Utility products are tied closely with
infrastructure spending by federal, state and local governments.
The Company continues to bid on utility projects and is competitive
on larger quantities, although there are competitors who specialize
in lower priced utility products. Management believes utility
product sales will remain at the current level or slightly increase
during the remainder of 2019.
Miscellaneous
Sales - Miscellaneous sales are items sold that do not meet
the criteria defined for other revenue categories. Miscellaneous
sales slightly increased for the three month period ended March 31,
2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Management believes
that miscellaneous product sales will remain low for the remainder
of the year.
Barrier
Rentals - Barrier rentals increased significantly for the
three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same
period in 2018, in the amount of $264, or 85%. The increase is
mainly due to the recognition of revenue associated with the
guaranteed buy-back agreement deferral. The Company's core barrier
rental fleet also showed an increase for the three months ended
March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, with
rentals increasing by 24%. With the Company expanding the barrier
rental services, management believes it has the potential to
increase barrier rental revenue for the remainder of 2019, and
moving forward as the outlays for infrastructure spending by
federal and state governments continue to increase. As stated above
in Barrier Sales, barrier rental revenue will continue to be
positively effected for future periods due to the accounting
treatment afforded to the guaranteed buy-back agreement with a
customer.
Royalty
Income - Royalties increased for the three month period
ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The
increase over the prior year was mainly attributed to poor weather
conditions in the first quarter 2018. Management continues to seek
new licensee opportunities to expand product offerings around the
world. With steady increase in construction and infrastructure
spending, management believes royalty revenue will be higher in
2019 as compared to 2018, 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 sites. Installation revenue results when attaching
architectural and SlenderWall panels to a building, installing an
Easi-Set® building at customers' sites or setting any of our
other precast products at a site specific to the requirements of
the owner. Shipping and installation revenue increased for the
three month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same
period in 2018. The increase is mainly derived from shipping and
installation associated with barrier and barrier rental deliveries,
which increased significantly in the first quarter 2019 compared to
the first quarter 2018. The Company continues to expand shipping
and installation services through products such as barrier and
barrier rental to help drive top and bottom line
performance.
18
Cost
of Goods Sold - Total cost of goods sold for the three
months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $433, or 6%, from the same
period in 2018. Total cost of goods sold, as a percentage of total
revenue, not including royalties, was 81% for the three months
ended March 31, 2019, an decrease from 85% for the same period in
2018. The decrease mainly resulted from an increase in barrier
rentals and SlenderWall sales which tend to have higher margins
than commodity products and services. The Company expects raw
material prices to increase during the remainder of 2019, although
it has had slight decreases in steel prices. The Company continues
to seek vendor pricing opportunities, and focuses on lean
production methods to improve quality, create capacity, and
eliminate process waste, while driving value to the
customer.
General
and Administrative Expenses - For the three months ended
March 31, 2019 the Company's general and administrative expenses
decreased by $260, or 22%, to $1,208 from $1,468 during the same
period in 2018. The decreased general and administrative expenses
for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 is mainly
attributed to a decrease in non-cash
stock compensation as compared to the
same period in 2018, and salaries which decreased due
to a portion of 2017 profit sharing paid and expensed during the
first quarter 2018. General and administrative expense as a
percentage of total revenue was 12% and 16% for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Selling
Expenses - Selling
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased to
$567 from $676 for the same period in 2018, or 16%. The decrease
was mainly due to a decrease in salaries and commissions paid for
the period as compared to the prior year when large jobs were
awarded. As the Company grows, additional selling expenses will be
incurred. Management expects selling expenses to increase in 2019
as compared to 2018.
Operating
Income - The Company had operating income for the three
month period ended March 31, 2019 of $447, compared to an operating
loss of $553 for the same period in 2018. The increase in operating
income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to
the same period in 2018, was due to increase profit margins and
decreased sales, general and administrative
costs.
Interest
Expense - Interest expense was $44 and $46 for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The
Company expects interest expense to increase for the full year
2019, as compared to the full year 2018, due to the debt financing
on the North Carolina expansion project.
Income
Tax Expense - The Company had an income tax expense of $99
with an effective rate of 23% for the three months ended March 31,
2019, compared to an income tax benefit of $135 with an effective
rate of 24% for the same period in 2018.
Net
Income - The Company had net income of $331 for the three
months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a net loss of $422 for the
same period in 2018. The basic and diluted income per share was
$0.06 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and the basic and
diluted loss per share was $0.08 for the three months ended March
31, 2018.
19
Liquidity and Capital
Resources (dollar amounts in thousands)
The Company financed its
capital expenditures and operating requirements for the first three
months of 2019 primarily from cash balances and the line-of-credit
construction draws. The Company had $3,325 of debt obligations
at March 31, 2019, of which $719 was scheduled to mature within
twelve months, along with the line of credit balance of $1,500.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made
repayments of outstanding debt in the amount of $178. The Company
had draws on the line of credit of $500 during the three months
ended March 31, 2019.
The Company has a
mortgage note payable to Summit Community Bank (the
“Bank”) with a balance of $730 as of March 31,
2019. The note has a maturity date of September 20, 2021 and a
fixed interest rate of 3.99% annually with monthly payments of $26
and is secured by principally all of the assets of the
Company. Under the terms of the note, the Bank will permit
chattel mortgages on purchased equipment not to exceed $250 for any
one individual loan so long as the Company is not in
default.
The Company has a
mortgage note payable to the Bank for the the purchase of the
Columbia, South Carolina facility. Such loan is evidenced by a
promissory note, dated July 19, 2016. The note provides for a 15
year term, a fixed annual interest rate of 5.29%, monthly fixed
payments of $11 and a security interest in favor of the Bank in
respect of the land, building and fixtures purchased with the
proceeds of the loan. The balance of the loan at March 31, 2019 was
$1,153.
The Company additionally
has 13 smaller installment loans with annual interest rates between
2.94% and 5.29% and varying balances totaling $1,442.
Under the loan covenants
with the Bank, the Company is limited to annual capital
expenditures of $3,500. The Company is in compliance with all
covenants pursuant to the loan agreements.
In addition to the
notes payable discussed above, the Company also has a $4,000 line
of credit with the Bank that had a balance of $1,500 at March 31,
2019 used to fund the construction of the North Carolina expansion,
which will be converted to long-term debt when the financing closes
in 2019. The line of credit is evidenced by a commercial revolving
promissory note which carries a variable interest rate of prime and
matures on September 18, 2019. 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; and (ii) to obtain bank approval prior
to its funding any acquisition. On September 18, 2018 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 with minimum advances of $50 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 .5% with a
floor of 4.49% 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 September 17,
2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had not purchased any
equipment pursuant to the $1,500
commitment.
At March 31, 2019, the
Company had cash totaling $3,033 and $1,134 of investment
securities, compared to cash totaling $1,946 and $1,107 of
investment securities at December 31, 2018. Investment
securities at March 31, 2019 consist of shares of USVAX (a Virginia
Bond Fund). The increase in cash is primarily the result of
the decrease in accounts receivable at March 31, 2019 as compared
to December 31, 2018.
Capital spending for the
three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $1,049, as compared to
$860 for the same period in 2018. The 2019 expenditures were
mainly for the North Carolina plant expansion along with yard and
manufacturing equipment. The Company plans to make additional
capital purchases of approximately $2,500 over the remainder of the
year, excluding the North Carolina plant expansion. The additional
2019 expenditures are expected to be for rental barrier, land
improvements, and miscellaneous manufacturing
equipment.
The Company received
approval from the Bank for the financing of the North Carolina
expansion and for additional land expansions at the Virginia
manufacturing plant. The expansions are excluded from the capital
expenditure limitations in the loan agreements with the Bank. See
"North Carolina Plant Expansion" below.
The Company's two
mortgage 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 95%
of the Company's debt obligations are financed at a fixed interest
rate so that each 1% increase in the interest rates of the
Company’s outstanding debt will reduce income by
approximately $2 annually.
20
The Company’s cash
flow from operations is affected by production schedules set by
contractors, which generally provide for payment 35 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
problems 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 93 days for
the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 86 days for the
year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in DSO is mainly
due to retainage being withheld on multiple large
projects. Although no assurances can be given, the Company
believes that anticipated cash flow from operations and the
availability under the lines of credits will be sufficient to
finance the Company’s operations for at least the next 12
months.
The Company’s
inventory was $3,047 at March 31, 2019 and $3,560 at
December 31, 2018, or a decrease of $513. The decrease in
inventory is due to sales of finished goods on hand at December 31,
2018 and the decrease in raw materials for use in production during
the first quarter 2019. Inventory turnover was 11.3, annualized for
the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 10.4 for the
same period in 2018.
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, 2018. There have been no changes as of March
31, 2019.
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 for
the Company, cement, steel, aggregates, and other direct materials
used in production have remained flat for the first three months of
2019. The Company anticipates raw material prices will increase
over the remainder of 2019, although no assurance can be given
regarding future pricing.
Sales
Backlog
As of May 6, 2019, the
Company’s sales backlog was approximately $31.2 million, as
compared to approximately $38.4 million at the same time in
2018. It is estimated that majority of the projects in the
sales backlog will be produced within 12 months, with a portion
extending several years.
North Carolina Plant
Expansion
The Company currently
owns 46 acres on which it is in the process of building a 15,000
square foot manufacturing plant with additional space for future
expansion in North Carolina. This expansion is estimated to cost
$3.3 million and will increase production and storage capacity. The
project will be funded through bank financing and cash. Management
expects completion of the new facility during the third quarter
2019. The current North Carolina facility will remain operational
during the construction of the new plant, and future use is not
determined at this time. There can be no assurance as to the cost,
financing, timetable, completion, or success of this
project.
