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, 2017 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 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 $41,525 and $42,387 as of February 28, 2017 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 February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, inventories consisted of:
| February 28, 2017 | May 31, 2016 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 1,955,787 | $ | 2,030,655 | ||||

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. 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 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, property and equipment 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 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. |
Page 8
| • | 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 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, the Company has computed the value of all stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were issued during the nine months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016.
At February 28, 2017, 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 $8,054 will be recorded as additional stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years for all options that were outstanding as of February 28, 2017, but which were not yet vested.
| Outstanding Options | Exercisable Options | |||||||
| Number of Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (yrs) | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price | ||||
| 15,000 | $2.53 | 6.6 | 15,000 | $2.53 | ||||

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 Company's future operations will produce sufficient earnings so 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 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 28, 2017 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 February 28, 2017 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 3.5% for the nine months ended February 28, 2017. 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 7.3% due to the items noted above.
NOTE 5:

Gross margin for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 decreased to 41.4% as compared to 43.4% for the nine months ended February 29, 2016. The fluctuations in gross margin in the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2017 as compared to the same three and nine month periods in the prior fiscal year are primarily influenced by shifts in the product sales mix from our product lines.

Income taxes – The Company's effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 3.5% for the nine months ended February 28, 2017. 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 7.3% due to the items noted above.
Net income (loss) – Net loss was $131,333, or $(0.04) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended February 28, 2017 as compared to net loss of $450,906, or $(0.15) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended February 29, 2016. For the nine months ended February 28, 2017, net loss was $639,432, or $(0.21) per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $1,049,755, or $(0.35) per fully diluted share for the nine months ended February 29, 2016.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital decreased to $5,782,490 as of February 28, 2017 as compared to $6,325,707 as of May 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $506,855 to $481,831 as of February 28, 2017 from $988,686 as of May 31, 2016.
Cash used in operating activities totaled $509,029 for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $678,745 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016. The change in cash used in operating activities was impacted, in part, by the difference in net loss of $639,432 for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 as compared to net loss of $1,049,755 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 February 28, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable of $2,274,729 as compared to $2,099,082 at May 31, 2016. The increase in accounts receivable of $175,647 was due to timing of receipts. Inventories decreased $385,760 to $4,342,217 as of February 28, 2017 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 February 28, 2017, total current liabilities decreased $133,726 to $1,496,974 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of February 28, 2017, 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 28, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
