NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial information included herein has been prepared by Schmitt Industries, Inc. (the Company or Schmitt) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of February 28, 2013 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2012 has been derived from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be experienced for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2013.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue for sales and billing for freight charges upon delivery of the product to the customer at a fixed and determinable price with a reasonable assurance of collection, passage of title to the customer as indicated by shipping terms and fulfilment of all significant obligations, pursuant to the guidance provided by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605. For sales to all customers, including manufacturer representatives, distributors or their third-party customers, these criteria are met at the time product is shipped. When other significant obligations remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled. In addition, judgments are required in evaluating the credit worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is not recognized until we have determined that collectability is reasonably assured.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of all other financial instruments potentially subject to valuation risk (principally consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable) also approximates fair value because of their short-term maturities.

Note 2:

INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the average cost basis. Costs included in inventories consist of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, which are related to the purchase or production of inventories. Write-downs, when required, are made to reduce excess inventories to their net realizable values. Such estimates are based on assumptions regarding future demand and market conditions. If actual conditions become less favorable than the assumptions used, an additional inventory write-down may be required. As of February 28, 2013 and May 31, 2012, inventories consisted of:

Note 3:

LINE OF CREDIT

In February 2012, the Company extended its bank line of credit secured by U.S. accounts receivable, inventories and general intangibles through March 1, 2014 and raised the lending limit from $1.0 million to $2.0 million. Interest is payable at the bank’s prime rate (3.25% as of February 28, 2013) or LIBOR plus 2.0% (2.20% as of February 28, 2013). There were no outstanding balances on the line of credit at February 28, 2013 and May 31, 2012.

Note 4:

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation includes expense charges for all stock-based awards to employees and directors granted under the Company’s stock option plan. Stock-based compensation recognized during the period is based on the portion of the grant date fair value of the stock-based award that will vest during the period, adjusted for expected forfeitures. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is recognized using the straight-line method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method of valuation for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, and other reasonable assumptions could provide differing results. These variables include, but are not limited to:

The Company has computed, to determine stock-based compensation expense recognized for those options granted during the three and nine months ended February 28 and 29, 2013 and 2012, the value of all stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No stock options were issued during the nine months ended February 28 and 29, 2013 and 2012.

At February 28, 2013, the Company had a total of 281,666 outstanding stock options (228,330 vested and exercisable and 53,336 non-vested) with a weighted average exercise price of $4.16. The Company estimates that a total of approximately $23,000 will be recorded as additional stock-based compensation expense during the remainder of the year ending May 31, 2013 for all options that were outstanding as of February 28, 2013, but which were not yet vested.

Options granted, exercised, and forfeited or canceled under the Company’s stock option plan during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2013 are summarized as follows:

Note 5:

EPS RECONCILIATION

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for dilutive incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock. Common stock equivalents for stock options are computed using the treasury stock method. In periods in which a net loss is incurred, no common stock equivalents are included since they are antidilutive and as such all stock options outstanding are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss in those periods. 9,594 and 11,924 potentially dilutive common shares from outstanding stock options have been excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2013, respectively.

Note 6:

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Each year the Company files income tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the taxing authorities. Positions challenged by the taxing authorities may be settled or appealed by the Company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740. The Company applies this guidance by defining criteria that an individual income tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

On June 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of ACS Topic 740. Other long-term liabilities related to tax contingencies were $0 and $7,500 as of February 28, 2013 and May 31, 2012, respectively. Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized as components of the “Provision for income taxes.” The liability for payment of interest and penalties was $0 as of February 28, 2013 and May 31, 2012.

Several tax years are subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions. In the United States, federal tax years for Fiscal 2007 and after are subject to examination. In the United Kingdom, tax years for Fiscal 2006 and after are subject to examination. In Canada, tax years for 2005 and after are subject to examination. In the United States, returns related to an acquired subsidiary for the year ended October 31, 1994 and the final return for the period ended May 19, 1995 are also subject to examination.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was (13.4)% for the nine months ended February 28, 2013. The effective tax rate on consolidated net loss differs from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the amount of income from foreign jurisdictions, changes in the deferred tax valuation allowance and certain expenses not being deductible for income tax reporting purposes. Management believes the effective tax rate for Fiscal 2013 will be approximately (60.3)% due to the items noted above.

Note 7:

SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS

The Company has two reportable business segments: dynamic balancing systems for the machine tool industry (Balancer) and laser-based and ultrasonic test and measurement systems (Measurement). The Company operates in three principal geographic markets: North America, Europe and Asia.

The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

“SBS,” “SMS,” “Acuity,” “Xact” and “Lasercheck” are registered trademarks owned by the Company.

For the three months ended February 28, 2013, total sales decreased $360,000, or 11.4%, to $2.8 million compared to $3.2 million in the three months ended February 29, 2012. For the nine months ended February 28, 2013, total sales decreased $925,000, or 9.2%, to $9.2 million from $10.1 million in the nine months ended February 29, 2012. Balancer segment sales focus throughout the world on end-users, rebuilders and original equipment manufacturers of grinding machines with the target geographic markets in North America, South America, Asia and Europe. Balancer segment sales decreased $421,000, or 18.9%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended February 29, 2012. Balancer segment sales decreased $1.2 million, or 16.6%, to $5.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 compared to $7.1 million for the nine months ended February 29, 2012. These decreases in worldwide balancer sales are due to lower volumes of shipments, particularly to Asia. The Measurement segment product line consists of laser-based light-scatter, distance measurement and dimensional sizing products and remote tank monitoring products. Total Measurement segment sales increased $61,000, or 6.5%, to $987,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2013 compared to $926,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2012. The increase is primarily due to increases in volumes of remote tank monitoring product shipments offset by lower volumes of shipments of distance measurement and dimensional sizing laser-based products as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Total Measurement segment sales increased $255,000, or 8.5%, to $3.2 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 compared to $3.0 million for the nine months ended February 29, 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher volumes of shipments of remote tank monitoring products and distance measurement and dimensional sizing laser-based products offset by decreases in shipments of laser-based light-scatter surface measurement products.

Operating expenses have decreased $9,000, or 0.6%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013 from $1.5 million for the three months ended February 29, 2012. Operating expenses have increased $255,000, or 5.5%, to $4.9 million
