For the nine months ended February 28, 2014, total sales decreased $70,691, or 0.8%, to $9,108,662 from $9,179,353 in the nine months ended February 28, 2013. Net loss was $72,107, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended February 28, 2014 as compared to $191,104, or $0.06 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended February 28, 2013.

Balancer segment sales increased $159,942, or 8.8%, to $1,969,861 for the three months ended February 28, 2014 compared to $1,809,919 for the three months ended February 28, 2013, primarily due to an increase in sales into Asia and Europe, offset by decreased sales in North America for the quarter.

Balancer segment sales decreased $97,004, or 1.6%, to $5,837,599 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 compared to $5,934,603 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013. The decrease in worldwide balancer sales for the nine month period ended February 28, 2014 is due in part to lower volumes of shipments into North America, offset by increased sales in Asia and Europe.

Measurement segment sales increased $109,792, or 11.1%, to $1,096,302 for the three months ended February 28, 2014 compared to $986,510 for the three months ended February 28, 2013, driven primarily by an increase in sales of laser-based light-scatter surface measurement products, offset by decreased sales of our laser-based distance measurement and dimensional sizing products. Xact^® revenues increased $21,744, or 12.4% to $197,804 during the quarter ended February 28, 2014 as compared to $176,060 for the same period in the prior year.

Measurement segment sales increased $26,313, or 0.8%, to $3,271,063 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 compared to $3,244,750 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013. The increase in worldwide measurement system sales for the nine month period ended February 28, 2014 is primarily due to increases in sales of remote tank monitoring products and related services and laser-based light-scatter surface measurement products offset by lower volumes of shipments of laser-based distance measurement and dimensional sizing products. Xact^® revenues increased $165,320, or 29.3% to $729,488 during the first three quarters of Fiscal 2014 as compared to $564,168 for the same period in the prior year.

Gross profit for the three months ended February 28, 2014 decreased to 47.5% as compared to 48.5% for the three months ended February 28, 2013. For the nine months ended February 28, 2014, gross profit decreased to 46.7% as compared to 52.0% for the nine months ended February 28, 2013. These overall decreases in gross profit are primarily due to shifts in the product sales mix involving our five product lines and the impact of increased costs associated with the products sold.

“Our results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 reflect the gradual improvement in sales we are seeing in comparison to the first half of our fiscal year. Our SBS sales into Asia and Europe show positive trends, and we are encouraged by the continued development of our Xact^® product line, which posted increases in revenues for the third consecutive quarter. In addition, we are actively developing opportunities for our laser-based light-scatter surface measurement product line,” commented James A. Fitzhenry, President and CEO of Schmitt Industries. “We will continue to focus on growing our market share in Europe and Asia for our SBS product line, increasing sales of our TMS surface roughness measurement products for the wafer industry, and growing our Xact^® remote tank monitoring business in Latin America and North America,” Fitzhenry concluded.
