What We Do:

We design, manufacture and market high precision test and measurement products through five product lines:

SBS: Vibration and process control products for the global manufacturing (grinding) industry.

SMS: Laser-based surface analysis and microroughness measurement products.

Acuity: Distance and dimensional measurement lasers and sensors.

Lasercheck: Laser-based surface roughness gauge.

Xact: Remote tank monitoring using ultrasonic sensors and satellite communication.

SCHMITT CORPORATE OVERVIEW

SBS Balance Systems

We design, manufacture and market vibration and process control products for the global grinding industry.

Global grinding industry valued at over $1.0 billion; addressable market for SBS estimated at approximately $75 million. Global market share of 10-12%.

SBS represents over 60% of total consolidated revenue. International sales represent over 50% of total SBS revenue.

SBS BALANCERS AND PROCESS CONTROL

SBS Growth Strategy: (1) Develop Unique Process Control Products to Compliment Balancing Products, (2) Penetrate German/Swiss OEM Market.

Dittel GmbH acquisition by Marposs Srl presents unique opportunity for SBS.

Developed right sales and product development team in Germany (working with Portland engineers) to effectively execute this strategy.

Working to complete product development.

We are reaching out to the right companies at the right levels.

esOur German process control software engineers have completed the IVIS visualization software for integration into machine tool CNC operating

SMS Measurement Products

We design, manufacture and market laser-based surface measurement products: advanced surface analysis scatterometers (CASI) and wafer/hard disk drive surface measurement tools (TMS).

Measurements to sub-Angstrom (0.03Å) level. Width of human hair: 80-100 microns. One micron = 10,000Å.

SMS sales lumpy but expect improvement in FY2015.

SCHMITT MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS UPDATE

The SMS CASI® Scatterometer uses laser light from UV to IR as a nondestructive probe to measure surface quality, optical performance, smoothness, appearance, defects, and contamination on a wide variety of materials.

Laboratory grade research instrument.

Customers: E.g. US Government labs, Boeing, Ball Aerospace, Northrup Grumman, GE Aviation, Lockheed, Penn State, Stanford, UNC Charlotte, European Space Agency.


Unique proprietary product with high price point ($180K - $500K) and healthy margin (65%-80%).

Niche market with existing sophisticated customer base and lumpy sales.

Potential for product refreshment and upselling existing customer base with updated capability.

Pursuing additional orders; focus on growing this business.

• Latin America market (Mexico, Central America, South America)

represents the largest market opportunity for Xact with

potential unit sale quantities in the 1000’s with multiple major

users.

• Largest market in terms of per capita consumption of propane;

lack of robust cellular networks; keen interest in the accuracy

of ultrasonic technology for purposes of inventory control and

theft prevention.

• Relationship building is critical, as is language fluency.

Xact in Latin America

Xact UPDATE

• Applications include bulk storage tanks, small tanks,

autogas tanks and trucks.

• Trucks (mobile application) represents a significant

opportunity.

• No dominant competitor, relatively undeveloped market.

• Xact strategy to become the dominant tank monitoring

provider in Latin America by end of fiscal year.

• Established dedicated primary distributor in Monterrey,

Mexico.

• Sub-distributors established in: Guatemala, Peru, Chile,

Brazil, Bolivia. Additional distributors being identified.
