Rodney Smith, Chairman and CEO stated, "The financial news for the third quarter was greatly improved over that of the second quarter as several new projects began production in the third quarter. The new projects recently started consist of a $4.0 million Slenderwall™ project in New Jersey, as well as a large SoftSound™ sound wall project and a large architectural residential project both in northern Virginia. Our average monthly production at retail dollars during the first quarter was just under $900,000, the average for the second quarter was approximately $850,000 while the average monthly production for the third quarter was $1,240,000 or a 38% increase over the previous quarter. We expect the fourth quarter to have an even higher rate of increase than the previous quarter making the fourth quarter the best of the year.

"The company has increased its advertising and achieved corresponding increased sales for the products where we have 'Blue Ocean' markets, outlined in the book, 'Blue Ocean Strategy, How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant.'

"Our research and development teams continue to drive for 'Blue Ocean' products. Smith-Midland was founded 53 years ago on a 'Blue Ocean' product, the world’s first commercially available precast concrete cattleguard and has never deviated from this strategy, i.e., JJ Hooks™ Precast Concrete Barrier, the world’s largest selling precast concrete highway safety barrier; Easi-Span™ Precast Buildings; and Slenderwall™, all 'Blue Ocean' products in the marketplace.

"The combination of cash on hand, 'Blue Ocean' products, the SMC Lean Initiative, and the end (we hope) of the Great Recession will position Smith-Midland for our most profitable years ever going forward."

Smith-Midland develops, manufactures, licenses, rents, and sells a broad array of precast concrete products for use primarily in the construction, transportation and utilities Industries.
