THE L. S. STARRETT COMPANY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2015

Note 1:   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Account Policies

The balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2015, have been prepared by The L.S. Starrett Company (the "Company") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These unaudited financial statements, which, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015.  Operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Note 2 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Recent A ccounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to the "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those years and early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard on July 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-11, "Inventory - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" requires companies to measure most inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which a company must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. This Update eliminates the need to determine replacement cost and evaluate whether said cost is within a quantitative range. This Update also further aligns U.S. GAAP and international accounting standards. For public companies, the guidance in ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
