SMC Announces a New Inauguration Barrier Contract Award for 2009

Monday January 19, 4:28 pm ET

MIDLAND, Va.-Smith-Midland Corporation was awarded the contract for the setting and removal of approximately 18,000 feet of J-J Hooks ® concrete safety barrier, in Washington, D.C., during the January 2009 inauguration of President Elect Barrack Obama. Smith-Midland has had the honor of providing these services since the 1981 Presidential inauguration.

As of December 30, 2008 the Company's production backlog was approximately $14.1 million, which excludes an executed Letter of Intent for approximately $8.8 million for the production of SoftSound? soundwall panels in the state of Maryland. The project is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2009.

?Smith-Midland is in an enviable position within the construction industry to have a significant backlog of projects for 2009, while the industry as a whole is in a strong downturn,? said Chairman and CEO Rodney I. Smith. ?During the first nine months of 2008, the Company was faced with significant increases in direct materials and fuel costs; however, these costs declined significantly during the 4th Quarter of 2008 and we believe this decline will have a positive affect on 2009 profits.?

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.
