NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
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 periods ended November 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be experienced for the fiscal year ending May
31, 1998.
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. Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
presentation. Such reclassifications had no affect on previously reported
results of operations or stockholders' equity.
Note 2: Net Earnings Per Share
Net earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods,
computed using the treasury stock method for stock options. The Company will
adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The effect of the adoption of such
pronouncement is expected to be immaterial to the financial statements taken as
whole.

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
introductions 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 during the second quarter of fiscal 1998, ended
November 30, 1997, as evidenced by increases in sales and profit levels. Sales
have increased in the United Kingdom, Germany and other world markets during the
second quarter of this fiscal year. Management expects these increased sales
trends to continue.
During the second quarter ended November 30, 1997, the Company 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 continued delivery during the balance of fiscal year 1998.
Sales of the TMS series products have been made pursuant to an exclusive
marketing agreement with Veeco (NASDAQ: VECO).
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased to $3,220,475 versus
$2,738,314 in the same period last year. This 18% increase was caused by 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 as well as market growth. Additionally,
SMS sales accounted for $1,322,608 of the second quarter sales, as compared to
$679,460 in second quarter 1997 SMS sales.
Second quarter cost-of-sales increased to 43% of sales versus 37% 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 38% of related revenues for the second quarter 1998 versus
47% in the same period last year. Management expects SMS cost-of-sales for
fiscal 1998 to be approximately 40% of related revenues.
Six-month general and administrative expenses totaled $2,196,597 versus
$1,929,628 for the same period last year. This increase is attributable
primarily to the increased sales level this 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. The acquisition of Schmitt Hofmann Systems GmbH ("SHS")
and Schmitt Europe Ltd. ("SEL") added to ongoing operating expenses.
Sales by the German subsidiary, SHS, totaled $404,169 for the quarter, with SEL
reporting $134,398 in sales for the period. These sales levels met management's
expectations and resulted from intensive efforts expended during this quarter in
Germany and the United Kingdom to expand sales levels. The quarter included
operating losses for SHS of $127,097 (due to inventory adjustments) and
operating losses at SEL of $69,496.

SCHMITT INDUSTRIES, INC.
FORM 10-Q
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales during the first
six months of fiscal 1998 were 37% compared to 43% for the same period last
year. Management estimates these costs will stabilize at approximately 39% for
fiscal 1998, down from 41% for fiscal 1997 and 43% in fiscal year 1996.
In the three-month period ended November 30, 1997 after tax earnings totaled
$695,449 versus $607,344 for the same period last year. For the six-month
period, taxes were accrued at approximately a 18% rate compared with 18% in the
same period last year. Management now anticipates that the tax rate for fiscal
1998 will approximate 34%, due to the timing of tax benefit realization from net
operating loss carry forwards.
Six-month net earnings were $1,050,000 versus $747,620 for the same period last
year. Six-month earnings per share were $0.14 versus $0.10 last year on a
primary and fully diluted basis respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company increased its working capital position slightly during the first
quarter while still financing the growth of the new SMS products and inventory
at SHS and SEL. Working capital totaled $6,032,849 at November 30, 1997 versus
$5,109,560 at May 31, 1997 fiscal year end. Corporate cash and marketable
securities levels stood at $1,077,903 at November 30, 1997.
During the six-month period ended November 30, 1997 net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $635,004, including net income of $1,050,000.
Included in cash flow from operations was a $906,212 increase in inventory.
During the period, accounts receivable decreased by $74,822 and marketable
securities and commercial paper appreciated $98,000. The increase in inventory
was caused by planned changes of balancer inventory for the U.S.A. and Europe
ramp up of the new DTM-2000 measurement product line.
The decrease in accounts receivable occurred because of improved collections
during the six-month period ended November 30, 1997 compared with the same six
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 uncollectable
accounts, returns or allowances has been established. Net cash used by
investing activities was $312,972, which was used for the acquisition of capital
assets. Net cash provided by financing activities was $77,041, primarily from
the exercise of stock options offset by repayment of debt.
Management believes that cash 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 also sufficient to finance current short-term operations, projected
capital expenditures, anticipated short-term sales agreements and other
contingencies during at least the next six months.
Management is currently reviewing long-range capital requirements as they relate
to expansion of products and markets. This analysis may or may not result in
future decisions to seek additional funding for the Company via debt or equity
to service the Companies future growth requirements.
