NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information,
and all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three-month and six-month period ended November 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be experienced for the fiscal year ending May
31, 1997.

These financial statements are those of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations:

The following information contains certain forward-looking statements that
anticipate future trends or events.  These statements are based on certain
assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks
including but not limited to the uncertainties of the Company's new product
introduction and the risks of increased competition and technological change in
the Company's industry.  Accordingly, actual results may differ, possibly
materially, from the predictions contained herein.

Company operations improved dramatically during the second quarter of fiscal
1997, ended November 30, 1996, as evidenced by major increases in sales and
profit levels.  During the second quarter, the Company entered into an agreement
to acquire "Schmitt Hofmann Systems GmbH" in Germany.  The Company purchased the
assets of Hofmann Maschinenbau GmbH and then formed a new wholly owned
subsidiary as of 12/1/96 for a total cost of $500,000.

During the second quarter ended November 30, 1996, the Company, through its
wholly owned subsidiary Schmitt Measurement Systems, Inc. ("SMS"), continued to
sell TMS-2000 non-contact laser texture measurement systems (TMS 2000) to the
computer hard drive market.  The Company has secured additional orders for these
products and expects substantial delivery during the balance of fiscal year
1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 increased to $2,738,314 versus
$1,520,028 in the same period last year.  This 80% increase was caused by
across-the-board gains in orders from both domestic and international customers.
Management believes sales increases resulted from improved marketing coverage
and advertising and the weakening of domestic competitors.  Additionally, SMS
sales accounted for $1,283,742 of the second quarter sales as the TMS-2000 had
increased shipments, as compared to $394,292 in second quarter 1996 SMS sales.

Second quarter cost-of-sales decreased to 37% of sales versus 42% in the same
period last year.  The continued sales of TMS-2000 products during the second
quarter had a positive impact on gross earnings and net earnings.  Cost-of-sales
of SMS products was 28% for the first half of 1997 versus 37% in the same period
last year.  Management expects SMS cost-of-sales for fiscal 1997 to be
approximately 34%.

The second quarter general and administrative expenses totaled $922,675 versus
$640,236 for the same period last year.  This increase is attributed to the
increased sales level this year and a lower level of expenses in the same period
last year.  The expansion in advertising, sales training costs, computer
purchases and employee salaries continued.  Also, an increasing percentage of
the Company's products are being sold through commissioned agents and salesmen,
as compared with last year, a trend management expects to continue.

                            SCHMITT INDUSTRIES, INC.
                                    FORM 10-Q



General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales during the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 were 34% compared to 45% for the same period last year,
and management feels these costs will stabilize at approximately 40% for fiscal
1997, down from 43% for fiscal 1996 and 47% in fiscal 1995.

In the six-month period ended November 30, 1996 net income totaled $847,620
versus $291,492 for the same period last year.  For the second quarter period
ending November 30, 1996, net income totaled $707,344 vs. $208,099 for the same
period last year.  Taxes were accrued at a modest rate for the second quarter
given a total of 16% rate compared with 40% in the same period last year for the
first six months of Fiscal Year 1997.  Management anticipates that the tax rate
for fiscal 1997 will approximate 30% due to prior year tax credits and refunds.

Second quarter net income per common share and common share equivalent on both a
primary and a fully diluted basis totaled $.09 versus $0.03 last year for the
same period.  Fiscal year 1997 six month primary and fully diluted EPS and
Common Stock Equivalent were $0.11 versus $0.04 last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company increased its working capital position during the second quarter
while still financing  the growth of the new SMS products and inventory growth.
Working capital totaled $5,059,958 at November 30, 1996 versus $3,532,086 at May
31, 1996 fiscal year end.  Corporate cash and marketable securities levels stood
at $706,472 at November 30, 1996.

During the six-month period ended November 30, 1996 net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $847,620.  Included in cash flow from operations
was a $586,589 increase in inventory.  During the period, accounts receivable
increased by $269,358 to a total of $1,681,163 and marketable securities and
commercial paper increased by $81,342 to $226,942.

The increase in accounts receivable occurred because of the increased sales
during the second quarter ended November 30, 1996 compared with the first three
months of fiscal year 1997.  As a result of its high-quality customer base, the
Company has experienced near 100% collection and no reserve for uncollectables,
returns or allowances has been established.

Management believes that its cash flow from operations, available credit
resources and its improving cash position will provide adequate funds on a
short-term basis to cover currently foreseeable debt payments, lease commitments
and payments under existing and anticipated supplier agreements.  Management
believes that such cash flow is sufficient to finance current short-term
operations, projected capital expenditures, anticipated short-term sales
agreements and other contingencies during the next six months.

Management is currently reviewing long-range capital requirements as they relate
to expansion of products and markets.  This analysis is expected to be completed
within the next three months and may or may not result in future decisions to
seek additional funding for the Company via debt or equity to service the
Company's future growth requirements.
