                                     FORM 10-Q
                           FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 1999


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 declined during the first quarter of fiscal 1999, ended
August 31, 1998, as evidenced by decreases in sales and profit levels.  Balancer
product sales have remained steady in the United States, the United Kingdom,
Germany and other world markets during the first quarter of this fiscal year,
while sales of Schmitt Measurement Systems, Inc. ("SMS") measurement products
were below expected levels for the quarter due to the world-wide decline in the
computer industry.  The overall result was a net operating loss for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased to $1,984,671 versus
$2,666,941 in the same period last year.  This 26% decrease was caused by
declines in orders from both domestic and international measurement customers.
SMS sales totaled only $167,667 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared
to $679,460 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The Company expects
measurement sales to be depressed throughout the calendar year 1998 with
improved sales of the TMS-2000 and the DTM-2000 Non-Contact Laser Texture
Measurement Systems to the computer hard drive markets in early 1999. 

First quarter cost-of-sales increased to 52% of sales versus 44% in the same 
period last year.  Cost-of-sales of SMS products was 62% for the first 
quarter 1999 versus 47% in the same period last year.  Management expects SMS 
cost-of-sales for fiscal 1999 to be approximately 50%.

First quarter general and administrative and R&D expenses totaled $1,030,285
versus $1,076,211 for the same period last year.  This decrease is attributable
primarily to the cost savings programs and decreased sales level this year.
These general and administrative numbers include $176,829 of research and
development expenses for the period ended August 31, 1998 and $136,718 research
and development costs for the previous year in the same period.  The Company has
embarked on a major cost reduction program that reduces consultants, outside
purchases and future inventory levels.  Management is pleased with cost
reduction progress during the first quarter, but will continue to seek
opportunities to limit spending but add to sales levels. 

Sales by the German subsidiary, SHS, totaled $443,425 for the quarter versus
$478,387 for the same quarter last year, while the British subsidiary, SEL,
reported $289,477 in sales for the quarter versus $104,834 for the same period
last year.  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 profits for SEL of
$64,878 and for SHS of $30,186.

                              SCHMITT INDUSTRIES, INC.
                                     FORM 10-Q
                           FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 1999

General and administrative expenses, including R&D, as a percentage of sales
during the first three months of fiscal 1999 were 52% compared to 40% for the
same period last year.  This increase was attributable primarily to the lower
level of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.  Management estimates these
costs will stabilize at approximately 45% for fiscal 1999, up from 44% for
fiscal 1998 and 41% in fiscal 1997.

In the three-month period ended August 31, 1998, pretax loss totaled ($39,957)
versus earnings of $530,551 for the same period last year.  Taxes were accrued
at approximately a 23% rate, as a percentage of SBS pretax income, compared with
33% in the same period last year.  Management anticipates that the tax rate for
fiscal 1999 will approximate 25%.

Three-month net (loss) earnings were ($51,457) versus $354,551 for the same
period last year.  Three-month (loss) earnings per share, basic and diluted,
were ($0.01) versus $0.05 last year. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company increased its working capital position slightly during the first
quarter while still financing the development of new SMS products and inventory.
Working capital totaled $5,970,372 at August 31, 1998 versus $5,906,588 at May
31, 1998 and $5,109,560 at May 31, 1997 fiscal year end.  Corporate cash and
marketable securities levels stood at $573,547 at August 31, 1998 versus
$1,127,076 as of May 31, 1998. 

During the three-month period ended August 31, 1998, net cash used by operating
activities totaled ($647,225), including net operating loss of ($51,457). 
Included in cash flow from operations was a $505,848 increase in inventory.  The
increase in the Company's inventories was a planned ramp up of parts required
for products that will be marketed in future quarters.  

During the period, accounts receivable increased by $67,235, and accounts 
payable decreased by $99,026.  The increase in accounts receivable occurred 
because of the sales mix during the three-month period ended August 31, 1998 
compared with the immediately preceding quarter.  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 $5,236.  Net cash used 
by financing activities was $47,258.

Management believes that cash from operations, available credit resources and 
its improving working capital position will provide adequate funds on a 
short-term basis to cover currently foreseeable 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 Company's future growth requirements.
