SMID - 10Q comments on backlog and upcoming Q(s), seems like could have better 4th Q then usual...


As of November 10, 2005 the Company's unaudited production backlog for booked
orders was approximately $14,800,000 as compared to approximately $7,500,000 at
the same time in 2004. This significant increase was the result of improved
economic conditions in the area and management's decision to apply more
resources to selling and marketing. The majority of the projects relating to the
backlog as of November 10, 2005 are scheduled to be produced and erected in the
last quarter of 2005 and first half of 2006. The Company has also seen
significant increases in the demand and sale of its Slenderwall(TM) and
soundwall product lines with current production backlog scheduled through the
third quarter 2006. Also, due to the lighter weight characteristics of the
Slenderwall(TM), the Company has been able to considerably expand its service
area into regions that previously could not be reached economically in the past.

The Company also enjoys a certain amount of regularly occurring repeat customer
business, which should be considered in addition to the contracted and ordered
production backlog described above. These orders typically have a quick turn
around and represent a significant portion of the Company's inventoried standard
products, such as highway safety barrier, utility and farm products
