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 29, 2016 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2015 has been derived from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. 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, 2015. 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, 2016.
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.
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 Company's 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 $14,774 and $56,370 as of February 29, 2016 and May 31, 2015, 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 February 29, 2016 and May 31, 2015, inventories consisted of:
| February 29, 2016 | May 31, 2015 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 2,058,153 | $ | 1,845,037 | ||||

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment; three years for vehicles; and twenty-five years for buildings and improvements. As of February 29, 2016 and May 31, 2015, property and equipment consisted of:

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 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:
| • | 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. |
| • | 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 nine months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company has computed the value of all stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted during the nine months ended February 29, 2016. 87,500 options were granted during the nine months ended February 28, 2015.
Page 8
At February 29, 2016, the Company had a total of 327,500 outstanding stock options (249,168 vested and exercisable and 78,332 non-vested) with a weighted average exercise price of $3.65. The Company estimates that $36,578 will be recorded as additional stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years for all options that were outstanding as of February 29, 2016, but which were not yet vested.

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted 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.
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.
Other long-term liabilities related to tax contingencies were $0 as of both February 29, 2016 and May 31, 2015. 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 29, 2016 and May 31, 2015.
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.

The effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 2.0% for the nine months ended February 29, 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 2016 will be approximately 2.3% due to the items noted above.
Note 5:

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, Asia and Europe. Balancer segment sales decreased $623,010, or 32.7%, to $1,280,472 for the three months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $1,903,482 for the three months ended February 28, 2015, primarily attributed to a significant decline in sales into China and North America for the quarter. Balancer segment sales decreased $577,805, or 10.2%, to $5,088,696 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $5,666,501 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The decrease in worldwide balancer sales for the nine month period ended February 29, 2016 is primarily attributed to a significant decline in sales into China and decreased sales into other parts of Asia and Europe.
The Measurement segment product line consists of SMS® and Lasercheck® laser-based surface microroughness measurement system, Acuity® laser-based distance measurement and dimensional sizing laser sensors, and Xact® ultrasonic-based remote tank monitoring products.

Sales – Sales in the Balancer segment decreased $623,010, or 32.7%, to $1,280,472 for the three months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $1,903,482 for the three months ended February 28, 2015. The decrease is primarily attributed due to a significant decline in sales into China and North America for the quarter. Sales in North America decreased $289,990, or 32.0%, for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2015.

Sales in the Balancer segment decreased $577,805, or 10.2%, to $5,088,696 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $5,666,501 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The decrease in worldwide balancer sales for the nine month period ended February 29, 2016 is primarily attributed to a significant decline in sales into China and decreased sales into other parts of Asia and Europe. China sales decreased $470,673, or 37.9%, for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2015. Other Asia sales decreased $79,384, or 9.0%, in the nine months ended February 29, 2016 compared to the same period in the prior year. European sales decreased $11,543, or 1.5%, in the first three quarters of Fiscal 2016 compared to the first three quarter of Fiscal 2015. Sales in other regions of the world decreased $63,558, or 47.2%, in the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales in North America increased $47,353, or 1.8%, for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The levels of demand for our Balancer products in any of the geographic markets cannot be forecasted with any certainty given the recent volatility in the global economy and the historical volatility experienced in these markets.
Sales in the Measurement segment increased $140,857, or 12.7%, to $1,247,993 in the three months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $1,107,136 in the three months ended February 28, 2015. Sales of Acuity laser-based distance measurement and dimensional sizing products increased in the amount of $133,594, or 30.6%, for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales of SMS light-scatter laser-based surface measurement products in the three months ended February 29, 2016 increased $53,857, or 87.2%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales of Xact remote tank monitoring products and revenues from monitoring services also posted an increase of $11,037, or 2.2%, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases were offset in part by decreases in sales of our Lasercheck products which decreased $57,631, or 55.0%, for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Sales in the Measurement segment increased $73,013, or 2.1%, to $3,617,922 in the nine months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $3,544,909 in the nine months ended February 28, 2015. Sales of Acuity laser-based distance measurement and dimensional sizing products increased $412,449, or 28.0%, for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition, sales of Xact remote tank monitoring products and revenues from monitoring services increased $64,631, or 5.5%, during the first three quarters of Fiscal 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales of SMS and Lasercheck light-scatter laser-based surface measurement products in the nine months ended February 29, 2016 decreased $404,067, or 45.3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Given the recent volatility in these markets, future sales of laser-based measurement products cannot be forecasted with any certainty.
Gross margin – Gross margin for the three months ended February 29, 2016 decreased to 42.1% as compared to 44.9% for the three months ended February 28, 2015. Gross margin for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 decreased to 43.4% as compared to 47.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The overall decrease in gross margin in both the three and nine months periods ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the three and nine month ended February 28, 2015 is primarily influenced by shifts in the product sales mix.
Operating expenses – Operating expenses decreased $27,215, or 1.8%, to $1,473,655 for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to $1,500,870 for the three months ended February 28, 2015. General, administrative and sales expenses increased $492 for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year with increases in sales-related travel expense offset by reductions in sales commissions and professional, legal and accounting expenses. This increase in general, administrative and sales expense was offset by a decrease in spending of $27,707, or 28.9%, for research and development for the quarter ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
Operating expenses increased $216,267, or 4.8%, to $4,752,584 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to $4,536,317 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. General, administrative and sales expenses increased $281,657, or 6.6%, for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to increases in sales commissions and personnel expense, increases in patent expenses and increases in sales-related travel and general office and utilities costs offset by a reduction in trade show expenses. This increase was offset by a decrease in spending of $65,390, or 22.3%, for research and development for the first three quarters of Fiscal 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other income – Other income consists of interest income (expense), foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense). Interest income (expense), net was $(260) and $(742) for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively and $(1,293) and $(2,628) for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) were $(33,871) and $(14,848) for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively and $(58,166) and $(8,593) for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. The shifts in the foreign currency exchange are related to fluctuations of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar during the periods noted.
Income taxes – The Company's effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 2.0% for the nine months ended February 29, 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 2016 will be approximately 2.3% due to the items noted above.
Net loss – Net loss was $450,906, or $(0.15) per diluted share, for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to a net loss of $168,371, or $(0.06) per diluted share, for the three months ended February 28, 2015. Net loss was $1,049,755, or $(0.35) per diluted share, for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to a net loss of $186,428, or $(0.06) per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Net loss for the three months ended February 29, 2016 is primarily due to decreases in balancer sales and the impact of shifts in product mix towards lower margin products offset by increased sales of products in the measurement segment and decreases in operating expenses. Net loss for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 is primarily due to decreases in balancer sales, the impact of shifts in product mix towards lower margin products and increases in operating expenses offset in part by increases in sales of measurement products.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital decreased to $6,695,845 as of February 29, 2016 as compared to $7,553,315 as of May 31, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $660,289 to $1,135,365 as of February 29, 2016 from $1,795,654 as of May 31, 2015.
Cash used in operating activities totaled $678,745 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $235,364 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The change in cash used in operating activities was primarily impacted by the net loss of $1,049,755 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to net loss of $186,428 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. Changes in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities also impacted the total cash provided by/used in operating activities and the changes are the result of timing of receipts and payments.
At February 29, 2016, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,984,806 as compared to $2,660,426 at May 31, 2015. The decrease in accounts receivable of $675,620 was due to timing of receipts. Inventories increased $217,425 to $4,774,992 as of February 29, 2016 compared to $4,557,567 at May 31, 2015, which is due primarily to the timing of purchases across our product lines. At February 29, 2016, total current liabilities decreased $283,295 to $1,332,036 as compared to $1,615,331 at May 31, 2015. The decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses is primarily due to the timing of payments to our vendors and a 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.

| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of February 29, 2016, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based on the evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
