SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION
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, summary of significant accounting policies, and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2022 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 Issued Accounting Pronouncement
The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life that are recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We adopted this standard, and all related amendments, effective January 1, 2023, on a modified retrospective basis. The cumulative effect of the adoption resulted in an increase of $

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 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 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.
Product Sales - Point in 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 and the customers have gained control of the product.
Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances
The timing of when we bill our 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. 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 trade - unbilled" (contract assets). Projects with performance obligations recognized over time that have cumulative billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings recognized to date, are reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Customer deposits" (contract liabilities).
Any uncollected billed amounts for our performance obligations recognized over time, including contract retentions, are recorded within “Accounts receivable trade – billed”. On June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, accounts receivable included contract retentions of approximately $
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. Additionally, 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. On June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the allowance was $

Sale to Customer with a Buy-Back Agreement
The Company entered into a buy-back agreement with one specific customer. Under this agreement, the Company guaranteed to buy-back barrier at a predetermined price at the end of the long-term project, subject to the condition of the product. Although the Company received payment in full when the product was produced, we were required to account for these transactions as operating leases. The amount of sale proceeds equal to the buy-back obligation was deferred until the buy-back was executed. The remaining sale proceeds were 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 was executed. The Company capitalized the cost of the product on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and depreciated the value, less residual value, to cost of leasing revenue in "Cost of goods sold" over the estimated useful life of the asset. The deferred revenue and deferred costs related to the buy-back agreement were fully amortized as of December 31, 2022 and, therefore, the accounting as described has no impact on the six month period ended June 30, 2023.
Pursuant to an amendment entered into by the Company with the customer on April 13, 2022, the Company agreed to purchase barrier back in the amount equal to the buy-back guarantee. Accordingly, the Company settled any remaining deferred balances, in excess of the buy-back payment, to leasing revenue, and reclassified the net book value of the purchased product to "Property and equipment, net". The revenue was recognized in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. See Note 5. Commitments for additional information regarding the amendment.
Barrier Rentals - Lease Income
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 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.
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 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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value for each of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, are carried at cost which approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments and are categorized as Level 1 within the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt approximates carrying value based on current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities and is categorized as Level 2 liabilities within the GAAP fair value hierarchy.
Concentration of Risk
Historically, various customers have comprised greater than
No customer represented greater than
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.

The actual number of performance-based shares of common stock of the Company, if any, to be earned by the award recipients is determined over a three year performance measurement period 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. A smaller portion is also earned based on Board discretion and continued service. The stock compensation cost is recognized over the requisite performance/service period using the straight-line method and can be periodically adjusted for the probable number of shares to be awarded.
Stock compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $

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 had net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 there are no assurances that the Company can remain profitable in future periods; in line with this risk, the Company incurred losses from operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, |
● | there can be no assurances of revenue growth; in line with this risk, the Company had lower revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 than in the prior year, |
● | 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, |
● | our debt level increased significantly in February 2022, and our ability to satisfy the same cannot be assured, |
● | our cash resources were significantly reduced during 2022 and through the first quarter of 2023 reflecting the significant purchase of barrier and equipment and a significant increase in accounts receivables and there can be no assurance that the Company’s cash will not be further reduced, |
● | our accounts receivables has increased during 2022 and through the first quarter of 2023 and our ability to fully collect these balances cannot be assured, |
● | we identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to the methodology applied to the estimation of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the fourth quarter of 2022, |
● | 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 the first six months of 2023 and for the full year 2022 were adversely impacted by inflation in the purchase of raw materials such as cement and aggregates, steel, and also with labor costs, and continues to be adversely impacted, |

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, 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; 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(loss) 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. 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.

The Company had net income of $80 for the first quarter 2023 and net loss of $782 for the second quarter 2023, resulting in a net loss of $701 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The cost of goods sold as a percent of revenue, not including royalties, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were 92% and 89%, as compared to 80% and 84% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, for the three month and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, is due to additional costs, approximately $400, incurred for the remaking of panels for a specific project. To a lesser extent, cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, was negatively impacted by less revenue generated from barrier rental through the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, which typically carry higher margins than product sales. Increased material and labor costs also affected margins for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022. General and administrative expenses were adversely affected by a one-time wire fraud incident in the second quarter of 2023 resulting in an additional expense of $342. Subsequent to the incident, the Company has revised its payment procedures to reduce the possibility of another wire fraud incident occurring. Total revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were $14,698 and $27,540 compared to $13,253 and $23,688 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022. The increase in total revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 from June 30, 2022 is mainly from an increase in miscellaneous wall sales and SlenderWall sales. As of August 1, 2023, the Company’s sales backlog was approximately $60.9 million, as compared to approximately $35.7 million at the same time in 2022.

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 building sales, utility sales, and shipping and installation revenue are recognized as revenue at a point in time.
Soundwall Sales - Soundwall sales were higher for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase is mainly due to higher production volumes at the North Carolina and South Carolina plants reflecting normal product sale fluctuations. Soundwall sales are expected to trend similarly throughout the remainder of 2023 as compared to the first half of 2023, although no assurance can be given.

Architectural Panel Sales - Architectural panel sales decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease is from the completion of two architectural projects in the second quarter of 2022. Architectural sales are expected to trend higher throughout the remainder of 2023, as compared to the first half of 2023, although no assurance can be given.
SlenderWall Sales - SlenderWall sales increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase is due to two projects being produced consecutively throughout 2023 in comparison to a single project in the first half of 2022, which production was completed in the first quarter of 2022. SlenderWall sales are expected to trend slightly lower throughout the remainder of 2023 as compared to the first half of 2023. The Company continues to focus sales initiatives on SlenderWall, but no assurance can be given as to the success of this endeavor.
Miscellaneous Wall Sales - Miscellaneous wall sales increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 due to the increased production of retaining wall projects at the Virginia and South Carolina plants. Miscellaneous wall sales are expected to trend similarly for the remainder of 2023, although no assurance can be provided.
Barrier Sales - Barrier sales decreased for the three month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease is related to a large project produced in North Carolina during the second quarter of 2022 and completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. Barrier sales increased for the six month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase is due to large barrier projects at the North Carolina and South Carolina plants that had significant production volumes in the first quarter of 2023. Barrier sales are expected to trend higher in 2023 than 2022 due to large barrier projects, however the Company continues to shift marketing efforts from barrier sales to barrier rentals in the Delaware to Virginia region.
Easi-Set® Building Sales - Building and restroom sales increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022 mainly due to increased building sales at all three manufacturing plants reflecting normal product sale fluctuations. Building and restroom sales are expected to continue to trend similarly for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the first half of 2023, although no assurance can be provided.
Utility Sales - Utility sales decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. Utility sales are expected to increase for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the first half of 2023, 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 slightly for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. Miscellaneous product sales are expected to trend similarly throughout the remainder of 2023, although no assurance can be provided.
Barrier Rentals – Barrier rentals decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. Revenue from the Company’s core rental barrier fleet decreased by 31% for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in barrier rental revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 is due to additional revenue recognized in the prior periods related to the barrier buy-back agreement which was fully recognized as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, the decrease is related to a temporary slowdown in barrier rental projects during the first half of 2023. Barrier rental revenue, excluding revenue from special barrier projects, is expected to trend higher throughout the remainder of 2023, compared to barrier rental revenue, excluding revenue from special barrier projects, in the first half of 2023, reflecting increased bidding activity, although no assurance can be provided.
Royalty Income – Royalties decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The decrease is related to project delays experienced by licensees. The Company expects royalties to increase for the remainder of 2023, compared to the first half of 2023, although no assurance can be provided.
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 the installation of our products at the customers’ construction sites. Installation revenue is recognized 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 decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The decrease is mainly attributed to the decrease in shipping and installation of SlenderWall and architectural panels during the first six months of 2023 as compared to the first six months of 2022.

Cost of Goods Sold - Total cost of goods sold as a percent of revenue, not including royalties, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was 92% and 89%, respectively, as compared to 80% and 84% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, is mainly due to additional costs incurred, approximately $400, for the production of panels remade for one specific project. To a lesser extent, the margins for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were negatively impacted by the decrease in revenues derived from barrier rental revenue which carry higher margins than product sales.
General and Administrative Expenses - For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company's general and administrative expenses were $1,884 and $3,233, respectively compared to $1,409 and $2,568 for the same periods in 2022. The increase of general and administrative expenses is the result of an additional expense incurred related to one-time wire fraud incident in the second quarter of 2023 of $342. Any funds recovered through insurance claims in future periods will offset the increased expense, although no assurance can be provided to the extent to which funds will be recovered. General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 also increased over the prior year period due to an increase in allowance for credit losses and an increase in salaries and wages. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were 13% and 12%, respectively, and 11% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022.
Selling Expenses - Selling expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were $883 and $1,645, respectively compared to $725 and $1,388 for the same periods in 2022. Selling expenses increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 due to additional salespersons and increased marketing expenses. The Company expects selling expenses to increase in future periods with the hiring of a SlenderWall sales associate in the second quarter of 2023 and increased advertising spending aligning with the strategy to increase SlenderWall sales and barrier rentals.
Operating Income (Loss) - The Company had operating losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 of $981 and $926, respectively compared to operating income of $1,096 and $922 for the same periods in 2022. The decrease is mainly due to the increase in cost of goods sold as a percent of revenue and increased general and administrative expenses.
Interest Expense - Interest expense was $64 and $71 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest expense was $128 and $118 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expects interest expense for 2023 to be higher compared to the full year of 2022 due to the increased level of indebtedness.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) - The Company had income tax benefit of $110 with an effective rate of 12% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to income tax expense of $307 with an effective rate of 25% for the same period in 2022. The Company had income tax benefit of $87 with an effective rate of 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to income tax expense of $267 with an effective rate of 25% for the same period in 2022.
Net Income (Loss) - The Company had net loss of $782 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $910 for the same period in 2022. The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.15 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and the basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.17 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company had net loss of $701 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $791 for the same period in 2022. The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.15 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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 loan matures on October 10, 2029. The balance of the note payable on June 30, 2023 was $1,504.
On March 27, 2020, the Company completed the refinancing of existing loans with a note payable to the Bank for $2,701. A portion of the funds, $678, was secured for improvements to an existing five-acre parcel for additional storage at the Midland, Virginia plant. The loan is collateralized by a first lien position on the Virginia property, building, and assets. The interest rate per the Promissory Note is fixed at 3.99% per annum, with principal and interest payments payable monthly over 120 months for $27. The loan matures on March 27, 2030. The balance of the note payable on June 30, 2023 was $1,940.
On February 10, 2022, the Company completed the financing for its prior acquisition of certain real property in Midland, VA totaling approximately 29.8 acres with a note payable to the Bank for $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 June 30, 2023 was $2,620.
The Company additionally has two smaller installment loans with annual interest rates of 2.90% and 3.99%, maturing in 2025, with balances totaling $40.
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 June 30, 2023.
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 June 30, 2023. 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, 2023. 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, 2022, 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, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, 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 almost impervious to 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had cash totaling $4,727 compared to cash totaling $6,726 on December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash is primarily the result of cash absorbed by investing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2023. More specifically, the Company had significant cash outlays related to land development of a storage lot for the rental barrier fleet and a new batch plant system for the South Carolina manufacturing facility. The Company expects its cash position to be favorably affected to the extent that it continues to collect outstanding accounts receivable balances.
The Company’s accounts receivable balances, net of allowance for expected credit losses, at June 30, 2023 was $16,554, compared to $16,223 at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily the result of the continued effects of turnover of the accounts receivable position experienced throughout the later part of 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023. The Company expects accounts receivable balances to trend downwards, with increased collection efforts as a result of the fulfillment of the accounts receivable position, although no assurance can be provided.

| Table of Contents |
Capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $2,974 as compared to $1,962 for the same period in 2022. The 2023 expenditures were primarily for the development of a storage lot for the barrier rental fleet. The Company intends to invest approximately $5,000 for the full year 2023, which includes a land development of a storage lot, a new batch plant system, completion of the barrier buy-back, and miscellaneous manufacturing equipment. Anticipated capital expenditures excludes acquisitions and plant expansions.
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 131 days for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 96 days for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
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 $4,752 on June 30, 2023, and $3,818 on December 31, 2022. The increase in inventory is mainly due to the increase of raw materials inventory on-hand compared to the prior year. The increase is related to the additional materials needed on-hand for the anticipated production volumes later in 2023 to execute on the Company’s backlog. Inventory turnover was 15.1, annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 13.1, annualized for the same period in 2022.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Any estimates used by the Company are more fully described, where applicable, in its Critical Accounting Policies to the Company’s consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Through June 30, 2023, the only change in policies involving estimates is regarding the calculation of the allowance for expected credit losses as discussed under Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances.
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
Management believes that the Company’s operations were affected by inflation during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and for the full year 2022, particularly in the purchases of certain raw materials such as cement and aggregates, steel, and also with labor costs. The Company believes that raw material pricing and labor costs will continue to increase in 2023, although no assurance can be given regarding future pricing or costs.
Sales Backlog
As of August 1, 2023, the Company’s sales backlog was approximately $60.9 million, as compared to approximately $35.7 million at the same time in 2022. 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 our evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our 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 weakness in internal controls over financial reporting disclosed within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023. 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 doubtful accounts. Notwithstanding the existence of this material weakness, 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”).
Remediation Efforts
Management is committed to the remediation of the material weakness described above. To address the material weakness associated with the estimation of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management revised the methodology applied in the fourth quarter of 2022.
