Details on each below.

1. Easi-Set Industries, our licensing Company (the precast equivalent to the software industry) is now set to take advantage of years of expanding and perfecting our licensing programs as well as fine tuning our products through actual field experience.

In addition to the extremely successful J-J Hooks Concrete Safety Barrier and the Easi-Set Transportable Precast Buildings, Easi-Set is rolling out SlenderWall Precast Concrete/Steel Stud Exterior Cladding for commercial and residential mid-rise and high-rise construction in the US, Canada and Mexico. Easi-Set is currently introducing Beach Prisms, a shore erosion control product that uses the preferred natural “soft” approach to this worldwide problem of shoreline protection.

2. New General Manager, John Sieber, has been hired and is working to expand Concrete Safety Systems, our highway safety barrier rental company. Concrete Safety Systems is, as a percentage of sales, our second most profitable subsidiary. We will take advantage of this unusual opportunity to expand in a market segment where we have almost no competition. (www.CSS-Rental.com)

3. Regional Sales Manager, Jay McKenna, has been hired for the introduction of Beach Prisms shore erosion control product, a full profit product for production at the Smith-Midland Precast Plant and Easi-Set licensees. Early advertising and promotional efforts have yielded overwhelming levels of interest in this product. (www.BeachPrisms.com)

4. A Patent Application is in the Patent Office for our new H2Out, the world’s first secondary drainage and street level in the caulk joint leak detection product for panelized exterior cladding. A second line of caulking and drainage strip located behind the exterior line of caulking exits all water leakage to the exterior of the building preventing moisture and mold and lawsuits from tenants and owners of buildings. According to some, water intrusion and resulting mold will be the next asbestos for class action trial attorneys. Owners of H2Out -protected buildings from Smith-Midland and Easi-Set licensees worldwide will avoid this high risk. (www.SlenderWall.com)

5. The Senior Management Team at Smith-Midland has committed to opening an Engineering Office in the Philippines for the company’s construction products for Smith Midland, Easi-Set and its licensees. The lower cost of this off-shore engineering office will bring hundreds of thousands of savings to the bottom line.
