"In spite of the weak economy, last year was the first time in three years the Maryland Site Division reported
increased sales in both the Timonium and Hagerstown offices. Due to everyone working more efficiently
and monitoring their jobs closely, we were able to obtain respectable profit margins while experiencing
this revenue growth along with the geographical expansion we have been undertaking that stretches our
resources. As we enter the second quarter of 2012, we are optimistically projecting even further growth this
year based on the substantial backlog we currently experience in addition to the favorable number of bid
requests we are receiving. The big challenge for this year will be to maintain or increase profit levels in what
is still a very competitive market. Currently the majority of the work managed out of the Timonium office is
public sector work. This work consists of projects for The National Park Service, US Army Corps of Engineers,
Baltimore City Department of Public Works, Baltimore City Public Schools, and Harford County Department
of Public Works. The current backlog in the Hagerstown office is more evenly split between public and
private sector work. In January we began work on a $9.1 million project at Montgomery College’s
Germantown Campus. The housing market in Clarksburg remains brisk and as
more developers see our trucks and work in the area we are receiving more
requests to bid."

C&O CANAL, POTOMAC, MD
Kinsley Site has teamed up with Classic Site Solutions to repair a portion of the 180-year-old C&O
Canal in Potomac, Maryland. “Anglers Breach” at mile 12 of the 185 mile long historic canal is
a 150 foot wide washout caused by Hurricane Hanna to the tow path and a 20 foot tall stone
retaining wall separating the canal from the Potomac River. Blasted rock from the canal excavation
was used to build the wall originally in the late 1920s. Any rock that is recovered will be used to
face a new concrete wall to return it to its original historic appearance. Approximately 1,000 feet of
tow path and canal will also be restored using a new liner and drainage system to prevent future
sink holes and breaches. One of the challenges we face under the watchful eye of the Army Corps is
engineering and building a temporary bridge to cross a failing bridge that goes over a 150-yearold
masonry aqueduct that supplies water to Washington, DC. After the canal breach repair is
complete, Kinsley Industrial will replace the existing aqueduct bridge with caissons and a reinforced
concrete deck. The project is scheduled to be complete in November 2012.
URBANA CORPORATE CENTER, FREDERICK MD
Urbana Corporate Center is one of three projects currently under construction for Monocacy Land
Company. The value of the three contracts is worth $10 million, of which $4.5 million is allocated
to the Corporate Center. This development encompasses 48 acres and allows for 8 commercial lots.
This venture also provides road access and utilities to the proposed $200 million Social Security
Administration’s data center.

AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE TESTING & EVALUATION FACILITY (ATEF) PHASE II
The Automotive Vehicle Testing & Evaluation Facility (ATEF) Phase II project is located at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in
Aberdeen, Maryland. The majority of the proposed work for this project consists of constructing a 4.5 mile asphalt track for
our military to test and evaluate military vehicles prior to their use in combat. In order to construct the proposed test track,
Kinsley’s top notch dirt crews will have moved over 375,000 cubic yards of dirt. A large portion of this dirt was moved
economically with agricultural type tractors pulling double 18 cubic yard and 21 cubic yard pans behind them. After the
controlled fills have been made and the 27 foot wide track has been constructed, it will be composed of over 170,000
tons of stone material along with over 35,000 tons of asphalt. Along the proposed track are 19 culvert crossings to be
extended, which total over 2,000 feet of concrete reinforced pipe. This project is located in a high security area which
makes coordinating access for employees, sub-contractors, and deliveries a challenge. All excavated areas need to be swept
for unexploded ordinance prior to beginning work and during work depending on the depth of excavation. An active Army
airstrip is located in the middle of this project which requires Kinsley’s field management to be in constant radio contact
with the control tower during earthmoving, stoning and paving operations. Kinsley crews must meet very stringent grading
and paving tolerances in the construction of this test track. Thanks to the great teamwork and efforts or everyone involved in
this project, we plan to be successfully completed in August of 2012.
