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.
Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value (“FV”) Measurement (Topic 820).” Among other modifications, the standard removes the requirements to disclose: (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the FV hierarchy; (ii) the policy for timing transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation process for Level 3 FV measurements. The standard will require public entities to disclose: (a) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 FV measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (b) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 FV measurements. The additional disclosure requirements should be applied prospectively for the most recent interim or annual period presented in the fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, and an entity may adopt the removed or modified disclosures and delay the adoption of new disclosures until the effective date. We have not completed our assessment of the standard but we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
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 haveinitially recorded 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'Accounts receivable - unbilled.unbilled". Conversely, if the amount billed to the customer is greater than the recognized revenue, a contract liability is recorded in customer deposits."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 as they havethe customer has gained physical possessioncontrol 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 estimateestimated earnings recognized to date, are reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as customer deposits"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,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accounts receivable included contract retentions of approximately $1,389$1,833 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,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our allowances for doubtful accounts were $228$329 and $214, respectively.
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 requiredGAAP requires these transactions to accountbe accounted 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 840,842, Leases.
Barrier Rentals - Leasing Fees
Leasing fees are paid by customers at the beginning of the lease agreementperiod 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 840,842, Leases. Topic 840842 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 producemanufacture 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-MidlandThe Company's 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.
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 amountsbalances 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.

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 lossincome of $422$273 for the firstsecond quarter 2018.2019, and net income of $574 for the third quarter 2019, resulting in net income of $1,178 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The cost of goods sold as a percent of revenue, not including royalties, for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 was 81%83% and 82%, respectively, as compared to 85%77% and 79% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018.September 30, 2018, respectively. The decreaseincrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue, not including royalties, for the first quarter ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the first quarter ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2018, is mainly due to the increase in SlenderWallshipping and installation which typically have lower margins than product sales and barrier rentals which tend. In addition, the Company continues to have higher margins than commodity productscompetitive pricing pressure along with increased wage and services.labor costs. Total sales for the three and nine month periodperiods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 were $10,189$13,209 and $34,249, respectively, compared to $9,125$9,544 and $28,502 for the same period in 2018.three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. 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 the significant increase in 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 begunis 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 duringby the third quartermiddle of 2019.2020. 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 2019,2020, it will nonetheless continue to recognize net profits through 2022. Management expects total sales and margins to increase for the remainder ofyear 2019 as compared to the first quarter 2019,surpass 2018 annual sales, although no assurance can be given.

The decreaseincrease is mainly resulted from an due to the increase in barrier rentalsshipping and SlenderWall salesinstallation which tend totypically have higherlower margins than commodityproduct sales. Shipping costs have also been increasing due to the demand and difficulty obtaining subcontracted drivers to haul our products. The cost of goods sold was also impacted by increased wages and the associated labor costs, and flat selling prices for certain products and services.due to competitive pricing pressure.

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.
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 9390 days for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to 8676 days for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in DSO is mainly due to retainage being withheld on multiple large projects.

The Company’s inventory was $3,047$2,567 at March 31,September 30, 2019 and $3,560 at December 31, 2018, or a decrease of $513.$993. 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 quarternine months of 2019. Inventory turnover was 11.3, annualized for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to 10.412.3, annualized for the same period in 2018.

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.

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 threenine 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.
