Item 5.  Other Events

In  January  1996,  the former  Chief  Financial  Officer  (the  "Claimant")  of
Smith-Midland  Corporation (the "Company") filed a request for arbitration under
the  rules  of  the  American   Arbitration   Association   seeking  damages  of
approximately  $250,000 based upon the claim of wrongful  termination  under his
employment agreement.  The dispute was presented to an arbitrator in April 1996.
On July 1, 1996, the Company was notified that the arbitrator ruled partially in
favor of the Claimant  and directed the Company to pay $80,000 to the  Claimant.
Prior to the  arbitrator's  decision,  the  Company had  reserved  approximately
$35,000  in  connection  with the  resolution  of this  claim.  The  Company  is
currently negotiating the payment terms of the award with the Claimant.
