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, 2018 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2017 has been derived from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017. 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, 2017. 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, 2018.

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.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of an amount received from a customer in December 2017 as part of an on-going contract. The services being provided under this contract are expected to be completed by December 2018, at which time the restrictions on this payment will lapse.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 28, 2018 to the sum of the same such amounts as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended February 28, 2018:


Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,985,928
Restricted cash		61,042

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows	$	2,046,970

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 $86,582 and $32,572 as of February 28, 2018 and May 31, 2017, respectively.

Page 7

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value 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, 2018 and May 31, 2017, inventories consisted of:


	February 28, 2018		May 31, 2017
Raw materials	$	2,514,357	$	1,773,368
Work-in-process		1,184,740		937,878
Finished goods		1,750,711		1,493,477

	$	5,449,808	$	4,204,723

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated 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 28, 2018 and May 31, 2017, property and equipment consisted of:


	February 28, 2018			May 31, 2017
Land	$	299,000		$	299,000
Buildings and improvements		1,814,524			1,814,524
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		1,253,193			1,246,346
Vehicles		44,704			44,704

		3,411,421			3,404,574
Less accumulated depreciation		(2,617,738	)		(2,539,350	)

	$	793,683		$	865,224

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). 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. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements. To date, the Company has examined its current revenue streams and does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on revenue recognition patterns as compared to revenue recognition under existing guidance, as the Company expects that revenues generated will continue to be recognized upon the shipment of products to customers. The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2014-09 through the date of adoption to ensure that preliminary conclusions continue to remain accurate. Additionally, the Company is assessing ASU 2014-09’s impact on its consolidated financial statement disclosures and currently expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 on June 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method.

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

Page 8

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 28, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018 and 2017.

At February 28, 2018, the Company had a total of 318,332 outstanding stock options (218,330 vested and exercisable and 100,002 non-vested) with a weighted average exercise price of $2.36. The Company estimates that $18,671 will be recorded as additional stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years for all options that were outstanding as of February 28, 2018, 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
170,832	$	1.70		8.8		70,830	$	1.70

Options granted, exercised, and forfeited or canceled under the Company’s stock option plan during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2018 are summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended February 28, 2018					Nine Months Ended February 28, 2018
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price

EPS RECONCILIATION


	Three Months Ended February 28,				Nine Months Ended February 28,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Weighted average shares (basic)		3,706,050		2,995,910		3,230,022		2,995,910
Effect of dilutive stock options		63,764		0		0		0

Weighted average shares (diluted)		3,769,814		2,995,910		3,230,022		2,995,910

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 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 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, 2018 and May 31, 2017. 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, 2018 and May 31, 2017.

Page 10

Several tax years are subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions. In the United States, federal tax years ended May 31, 2014 and after are subject to examination. In the United Kingdom, tax years ended May 31, 2012 and after are subject to examination. In Canada, tax years ended May 31, 2014 and after are subject to examination.

Change in Tax Law

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code by reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 34 percent to 21 percent, requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense and changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

The SEC staff subsequently issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides a one year measurement for companies to complete the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act. In accordance with SAB 118, where accounting is complete, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects, but to the extent that a company’s accounting is incomplete but a reasonable estimate may be made, a provisional estimate should be recorded in the financial statements. Where a company is unable to determine a provisional estimate, SAB 118 permits application of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment.

Due to the reduction of the corporate tax rate as part of the Tax Act, the Company has recorded a provisional decrease to deferred tax assets of $778,400 and corresponding decrease to the valuation allowance. The change in tax rate did not impact tax expense due to the valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax asset. While the Company was able to reasonably estimate the impact of the change in tax rate, certain estimates may affect the calculations as they are refined.

The Act also provides for a tax on the deemed repatriation of previously untaxed accumulated earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries. The Company was not subject to this tax due to an accumulated loss in the Company’s foreign subsidiary.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 488.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2018. 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 2018 will be approximately 27.9% due to the items noted above.

NOTE 5:

SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS

Gross margin – Gross margin for the three months ended February 28, 2018 increased to 40.8% as compared to 38.0% for the three months ended February 28, 2017. Gross margin for the nine months ended Feburary 28, 2018 increased to 44.1% as compared to 41.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2017. The fluctuations in gross margin in the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2018 as compared to the same three and nine month periods in the prior fiscal year are influenced by shifts in the product sales mix from our five product lines in Fiscal 2017 to our three product lines in Fiscal 2018.

Operating expenses – Operating expenses increased $49,268, or 3.8%, to $1,362,508 for the three months ended February 28, 2018 from $1,313,240 for the three months ended February 28, 2017.

These changes are primarily due to increases in research and development expense and professional and other administrative expenses, offset by decreases in commissions expense.

Other income – Other income consists of interest income (expense), foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense). Interest income (expense), net was $3,090 and $(259) for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) were $58,725 and $(16,203) for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The shifts in the foreign currency exchange are related to fluctuations of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar during the current period. Other income (expense) was $0 for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $(9,180) for the same period in the prior year.

Other income consists of interest income (expense), foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and other income (expense). Interest income (expense), net was $3,122 and $(589) for the nine months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income taxes – On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code by reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 34 percent to 21 percent, requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense and changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

The Company’s effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 488.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2018. 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 2018 will be approximately 27.9% due to the items noted above.

Net income (loss) – Net income was $15,553, or $0.00 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended February 28, 2018 as compared to net loss of $131,333, or $(0.04) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended February 28, 2017. For the nine months ended February 28, 2018, net loss was $15,297, or $(0.00) per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $639,432, or $(0.21) per fully diluted share, for the nine months ended February 28, 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s working capital increased to $8,022,147 as of February 28, 2018 as compared to $5,510,812 as of May 31, 2017. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $1,179,363 to $2,046,970 as of February 28, 2018 from $867,607 as of May 31, 2017.

Cash used in operating activities totaled $1,096,192 for the nine months ended February 28, 2018 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $509,029 for the nine months ended February 28, 2017. Changes in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities primarily impacted the total cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended February 28, 2018, with the result of the changes directly related to the timing of receipts and payments and the targeted increases in inventory levels within our SBS product line. The net loss of $639,432 had the largest impact on the cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ended February 28, 2017.

At February 28, 2018, the Company had accounts receivable of $2,086,706 as compared to $2,344,373 at May 31, 2017. The decrease in accounts receivable of $257,667 was due to timing of receipts. Inventories increased $1,245,085 to $5,449,808 as of February 28, 2018 as compared to $4,204,723 at May 31, 2017, which is due primarily to the targeted increases in inventory levels within our SBS product line. At February 28, 2018, total current liabilities decreased $318,286 to $1,710,671, as compared to $2,028,957 at May 31, 2017. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to the timing of payments to our vendors and Company personnel and the decrease in accrued commissions.

On December 20, 2017, the Company completed its Subscription Rights Offering (the “Rights Offering”) in which 998,635 common shares were issued, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $2,496,587. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company issued one right for each common share to shareholders of record as of November 27, 2017. Holders of the rights were entitled to purchase common shares by submitting three rights and $2.50 for each share to be purchased. The new shares were issued on December 27, 2017.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company announced that it had listed for sale one of its parcels of property located at 2765 NW Nicolai Street in Portland, Oregon. The property represents just over 10,000 square feet of office and warehouse space, which is approximately 25% of the Company’s total real estate holdings. The Company recently terminated its active listing of the property given market conditions and other factors.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents combined with the cash we anticipate to generate from operating activities and the Rights Offering discussed above 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.

As of February 28, 2018, 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, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
