SCHMITT INDUSTRIES, INC.
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 November 30, 2016 and its
results of operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2016 has been derived from the Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2016. 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, 2016. 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, 2017.
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. The Company estimates customer product returns based on historical return patterns and
reduces sales and cost of sales accordingly.
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.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains credit limits for all customers based upon several factors, including but not limited to financial condition and stability, payment
history, published credit reports and use of credit references. Management performs various analyses to evaluate accounts receivable balances to ensure recorded amounts reflect estimated net realizable value. This review includes using accounts
receivable agings, other operating trends and relevant business conditions, including general economic factors, as they relate to each of the Companys domestic and international customers. If these analyses lead management to the conclusion
that potential significant accounts are uncollectible, a reserve is provided. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $44,523 and $42,387 as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are 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 November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, inventories consisted of:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU
2014-09
affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into
contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). ASU
2014-09
is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU
2015-14,
which defers the effective date of ASU
2014-09
by one year. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the date of the original effective date, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure in-scope inventory
at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in ASU
2015-11 are effective on a prospective basis for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual
reporting period.
The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU
2014-09,
ASU 2015-14 and ASU 2015-11.
NOTE 2:
STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation includes expense charges for all stock-based awards to employees and directors granted under the Companys
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:
|
|
|
Risk-Free Interest Rate.
The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life
of the award.
|
|
|
|
Expected Life.
The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar
awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and
pre-vesting
and post-vesting forfeitures.
|
Page 8
|
|
|
Expected Volatility.
The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock. The volatility factor the Company uses is based on its
historical stock prices over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the award. These historical periods may exclude portions of time when unusual transactions occurred.
|
|
|
|
Expected Dividend Yield.
The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of 0.
|
|
|
|
Expected Forfeitures.
The Company uses relevant historical data to estimate
pre-vesting
option forfeitures. The Company records stock-based compensation only for those
awards that are expected to vest.
|
To determine stock-based compensation expense recognized for those options granted during the six months
ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has computed the value of all stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were issued during the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015.
At November 30, 2016, the Company had a total of 147,500 outstanding stock options (130,000 vested and exercisable and 17,500
non-vested)
with a weighted average exercise price of $3.11. The Company estimates that $11,232 will be recorded as additional stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years for all
options that were outstanding as of November 30, 2016, but which were not yet vested.

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.
NOTE 4:
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. Management continues to review the level of the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance that the Companys future
operations will produce sufficient earnings to that the deferred tax asset can be fully utilized. The Company currently maintains a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets.
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
Companys 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
enterprises financial statements and provides guidance on measurement,
de-recognition,
classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Other long-term liabilities related to tax contingencies were $0 as of both November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016. 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 November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016.
Several tax years are subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions. In the United States, federal tax years for Fiscal 2012 and after are subject to
examination. In the United Kingdom, tax years for Fiscal 2012 and after are subject to examination. In Canada, tax years for Fiscal 2005 and after are subject to examination.
Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate on
consolidated net loss was 2.9% for the six months ended November 30, 2016. The effective tax rate on consolidated net loss differs from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to 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 2017 will be approximately 8.1% due to the items noted above.
NOTE 5:
SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
The Company has two reportable business segments: dynamic balancing and process control systems for the machine tool industry (Balancer) and laser-based test
and measurement systems and ultrasonic measurement products (Measurement). The Company operates in three principal geographic markets: North America, Europe and Asia.

Income taxes
The Companys effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 2.9% for the six
months ended November 30, 2016. 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 2017 will be approximately 8.1% due to the items noted above.
Net income (loss)
Net loss was $382,470, or $(0.13) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to
net loss of $403,787, or $(0.13) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended November 30, 2015. For the six months ended November 30, 2016, net loss was $508,099, or $(0.17) per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys working capital decreased to $5,838,409 as of November 30, 2016 as compared to $6,325,707 as of May 31, 2016. Cash and cash
equivalents decreased $445,479 to $543,207 as of November 30, 2016 from $988,686 as of May 31, 2016.
Cash used in operating activities totaled
$433,674 for the six months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $545,068 for the six months ended November 30, 2015. The change in cash used in operating activities was impacted, in part, by the
difference in net loss of $508,099 for the six months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to net loss of $598,849 for the same period in the prior year. Changes in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities
also impacted the total cash used in operating activities, with the result of the changes directly related to the timing of receipts and payments and the management of inventory levels across our product lines.
At November 30, 2016, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,825,101 as compared to $2,099,082 at May 31, 2016. The decrease in accounts
receivable of $273,981 was due to timing of receipts. Inventories decreased $262,176 to $4,465,801 as of November 30, 2016 as compared to $4,727,977 at May 31, 2016, which is due primarily to the timing of purchases across our product
lines and reductions of inventories in our SMS product line. At November 30, 2016, total current liabilities decreased $486,771 to $1,143,929 as compared to $1,630,700 at May 31, 2016. The decrease in accounts payable and other accrued
expenses is primarily due to the timing of payments to our vendors and the decrease in accrued commissions.
We believe that our existing cash and cash
equivalents combined with the cash we anticipate to generate from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. We do not have any significant commitments nor are we aware of any significant events
or conditions that are likely to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources.
