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, 2017 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.

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 $72,326 and $32,572 as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively.

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 November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, inventories consisted of:

 

     November 30, 2017      May 31, 2017  

Raw materials

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.

Subsequent Event

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 $2,496,588. 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.

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:

 

Page 8


Table of Contents
    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 six months ended November 30, 2017 and 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 six months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016.

At November 30, 2017, the Company had a total of 360,000 outstanding stock options (218,330 vested and exercisable and 141,670 non-vested) with a weighted average exercise price of $2.28. The Company estimates that $50,171 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, 2017, 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 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 November 30, 2017 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 November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017.

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.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 72.2% for the six months ended November 30, 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 2018 will be approximately 11.4% due to the items noted above.

Gross margin – Gross margin for the three months ended November 30, 2017 increased to 45.8% as compared to 38.9% for the three months ended November 30, 2016. Gross margin for the six months ended November 30, 2017 increased to 45.6% as compared to 43.4% for the six months ended November 30, 2016. The fluctuations in gross margin in the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2017 as compared to the same three and six 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.

General, administrative and selling expenses increased $199,768, or 15.1%, for the three months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to increases in professional expenses, personnel expenses and sales commissions, offset by reductions in marketing and trade show expense and other sales-related travel and entertainment expense.

Operating expenses increased $293,536, or 10.2%, to $3,170,004 for the six months ended November 30, 2017 as compared to $2,876,468 for the six months ended November 30, 2016. General, administrative and selling expenses increased $255,443, or 9.3%, for the six months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income taxes – The Company’s effective tax rate on consolidated net loss was 72.2% for the six months ended November 30, 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 2018 will be approximately 11.4% due to the items noted above.

Net income (loss) – Net income was $103,248, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended November 30, 2017 as compared to net loss of $382,470, or $(0.13) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended November 30, 2016. For the six months ended November 30, 2017, net loss was $30,850, or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $508,099, or $(0.17) per fully diluted share, for the six months ended November 30, 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s working capital increased to $5,619,538 as of November 30, 2017 as compared to $5,510,812 as of May 31, 2017. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $280,621 to $586,986 as of November 30, 2017 from $867,607 as of May 31, 2017.

Cash used in operating activities totaled $235,037 for the six months ended November 30, 2017 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $433,674 for the six months ended November 30, 2016. The change in cash used in operating activities was impacted, in part, by the difference in net loss of $30,850 for the six months ended November 30, 2017 as compared to net loss of $508,099 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 targeted increases in inventory levels within our SBS and Acuity product lines.

At November 30, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable of $2,150,655 as compared to $2,344,373 at May 31, 2017. The decrease in accounts receivable of $193,718 was due to timing of receipts. Inventories increased $587,362 to $4,792,085 as of November 30, 2017 as compared to $4,204,723 at May 31, 2017, which is due primarily to the targeted increases in inventory levels within our SBS and Acuity product lines. At November 30, 2017, total current liabilities decreased $12,619 to $2,016,338 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 $2,496,588. 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.

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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of November 30, 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 November 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
