NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY
31, 2021
Note 1: Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s
April 30, 2021 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of
the results for any other quarter or for the full year.
Accounting
Estimates —The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions including the carrying
value of assets. The estimates and assumptions result in approximate rather than exact amounts.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
(Topic 326),” which was subsequently amended in February 2020 by ASU 2020-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
(Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842).” The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses,
rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (e.g., loans and held-to-maturity securities),
including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The expected credit losses should consider historical
information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual
term. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. The update
with amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
The Company does not believe this new guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and will implement the disclosures
related to this update beginning in 2023.
In
January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint
Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.”
The ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions.
ASU 2016-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure
certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from
observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the
amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method
of accounting. ASU 2020-01 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have
any impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
There
are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Note 2: Investments
The
Company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, state and municipal debt securities, real estate investment trusts, and
money markets. The investments in debt securities, which include municipal bonds and bond funds, mature between November 2021 and January
2044. The Company uses the average cost method to determine the cost of equity securities sold with any unrealized gains or losses reported
in the respective period’s earnings. Unrealized gains and losses on debt securities are excluded from earnings and reported separately
as a component of stockholder’s equity. Dividend and interest income are reported as earned.
As
of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, investments consisted of the following:

Marketable
securities that are classified as equity securities are carried at fair value on the balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded
as an unrealized gain or (loss) in the statements of income in the period of the change. Upon the disposition of a marketable security,
the Company records a realized gain or (loss) on the Company’s statements of income.
The
Company evaluates all marketable securities for other-than temporary declines in fair value, which are defined as when the cost basis
exceeds the fair value for approximately one year. The Company also evaluates the nature of the investment, cause of impairment and number
of investments that are in an unrealized position. When an “other-than-temporary” decline is identified, the Company will
decrease the cost of the marketable security to the new fair value and recognize a real loss. The investments are periodically evaluated
to determine if impairment changes are required. As a result of this standard, no impairment loss was recorded for the quarter ended
July 31, 2021. For the prior quarter ended July 31, 2020, an impairment loss of $ 27,000 was recorded.
11
The
Company’s investments are actively traded in the stock and bond markets. Therefore, either a realized gain or loss is recorded
when a sale happens. For the quarter ended July 31, 2021 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains
of $ 238,000 and gross realized losses of $ 8,000 . For the same period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains,
but gross realized losses of $ 10,000 were recorded. During the quarter ending July 31, 2020, the Company recorded gross realized gains
and losses on equity securities of $ 102,000 and $ 126,000 , respectively, while sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized
gains, but gross realized losses of $ 4,000 were recorded. The gross realized loss numbers include the impaired figures listed in the
previous paragraph.
The
following table shows the investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be “other-than-temporarily impaired”,
aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at
July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, respectively.

Municipal
Bonds
The
unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in municipal bonds were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms
of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because
the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider
these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at July 31, 2021.
Marketable
Equity Securities and REITs
The
Company’s investments in marketable equity securities and REITs consist of a wide variety of companies. Investments in these companies
include growth, growth income, and foreign investment objectives. The individual holdings have been evaluated, and due to management’s
plan to hold on to these investments for an extended period, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily
impaired at July 31, 2021.

Note 6: Retirement Benefit Plan
On
January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the George Risk Industries, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a
defined contribution savings plan designed to provide retirement income to eligible employees of the Company. The Plan is intended to
be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is funded by voluntary pre-tax and Roth (taxable)
contributions from eligible employees who may contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation, limited and subject to statutory
limits. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan when they have attained the age of 21 and completed one thousand hours of service
in any plan year with the Company. Upon leaving the Company, each participant is 100 % vested with respect to the participants’
contributions while the Company’s matching contributions are vested over a six -year period in accordance with the Plan document.
Contributions are invested, as directed by the participant, in investment funds available under the Plan. Matching contributions of approximately
$ 17,000 and $ 13,000 were paid in each of the quarters ending July 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively.

Note 7: Fair Value Measurements
The
carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value
due to their short term nature. The fair value of our investments is determined utilizing market based information. Fair value is the
price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at
fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit
risk.
US
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The levels of the fair value hierarchy under US GAAP are described
below:
Level
1
Valuation
is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level
2
Valuation
is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets
that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level
3
Valuation
is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions
reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques
include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
Investments
and Marketable Securities
As
of July 31, 2021, our investments consisted of money markets, publicly traded equity securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs)
as well as certain state and municipal debt securities. The marketable securities are valued using third-party broker statements. The
value of the majority of securities is derived from quoted market information. The inputs to the valuation are generally classified as
Level 1 given the active market for these securities, however, if an active market does not exist, which is the case for municipal bonds
and REITs, the inputs are recorded as Level 2.
Fair
Value Hierarchy
The
following table sets forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and a non-recurring basis by level
within the fair value hierarchy. As required by US GAAP, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), which are subject
to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Any statements herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed
to be forward-looking statements. For example, words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,”
“should,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“project” or “continue,” and the negatives of such terms are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The information included herein represents our estimates and assumptions as of the date of this filing. Unless required by law, we undertake
no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if current information becomes available in the future.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached condensed financial statements, and with the Company’s audited
financial statements and discussion for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.
Executive
Summary
The
Company’s performance remained steady during the quarter ended July 31, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2020. Although
sales have increased when comparing to the same quarter last year, overall net income is down because unrealized gains on investments
aren’t as big as they were for the same quarter last year. The uptick in sales is direct result of the closure of a competitor
at the end of calendar year 2019 and having the ability to continue working through the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the increased
demand, the Company is experiencing a sizable back order log; however, management has been able to increase inventory. Management now
intends to focus on ramping up production to meet customer’s needs in a timely manner. Opportunities include continuing to learn
and grow with our computer system and to continue looking at businesses that might be a good fit to purchase. We also have new products
that are scheduled to enter the marketplace by the end of the calendar year. Challenges in the coming months include continuing to get
product out to customers in a timely manner and dealing with COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Possible COVID-19 challenges include, but
are not limited to, price increases and/or delays in the supply chain, reduced sales, workforce interruptions, and economic conditions
impacting the stock market. Management continues to work at keeping operations flowing as efficient as possible with the hopes of getting
the facilities running leaner and more profitable than ever before.
Results
of Operations
●
Net
sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 showed a 22.44% increase over the same period in the prior year. The Company saw increased
sales resulting primarily from a competitor no longer selling competing products and having the ability to continue to work through
the COVID-19 pandemic. Management also believes that sales continue to grow due to our ongoing commitment to outstanding customer
service and our ability to customize products.
●
Cost
of goods sold decreased from 48.23% of sales in the prior year, to 46.78% in the current quarter, which is inside of Management’s
goal to keep labor and other manufacturing expenses within the range of 45 to 50%. The decreased cost of goods sold percentage is
a reflection of training initiatives resulting in more efficient production.
18
●
Operating
expenses increased by $198,000 when comparing the current year quarter to the same quarter for the prior year; however, the percentage
of net sales decreased to 22.34% for the quarter ended July 31, 2020 compared to 22.46% for the corresponding quarter last year.
The dollar amount increase is the result of increased personnel and commission expense related to the increase in net sales; however,
the Company maintained the ratio of operating expenses to net sales at less than 30%, which is in line with historical ratios.
●
Income
from operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 was at $1,530,000, which is a 29.01% increase from the corresponding quarter
last year, which had income from operations of $1,186,000.
●
Other
income and expenses showed a $817,000 gain for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 as compared to a $2,254,000 gain for the quarter ended
July 31, 2020. For the three months ended July 31, 2021, $420,000 of unrealized gains from equity securities were recorded, compared
to the $2,114,000 of unrealized gains from equity securities recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2020. The remainder of
the increase is primarily due to dividend and interest income and gains on sales of investments.
●
The
Company’s provision for income taxes showed a decrease of $347,000 from $948,000 in the quarter ended July 31, 2020 to $601,000
for the quarter ended July 31, 2021. This decrease is primarily due to decreased deferred taxes resulting from a much smaller unrealized
gain for the current quarter.
●
In
turn, net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 was $1,746,000, a 29.94% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year,
which showed net income of $2,492,000.
●
Earnings
per share for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 were $0.35 per common share and $0.50 per common share for the quarter ended July 31,
2020.
Liquidity
and capital resources
Operating
●
Net
cash increased $1,005,000 during the quarter ended July 31, 2021 as compared to an increase of $1,033,000 during the corresponding
quarter last year.
●
Accounts
receivable decreased $154,000 for the quarter ending July 31, 2021 compared with a $49,000 decrease for the same quarter last year.
The bigger decrease in accounts receivable is directly attributable to an increase in sales and customers being able to pay timely
as the COVID-19 pandemic has become a part of our everyday life. Management still has the ability to collect on accounts and to keep
past due accounts to a minimum. An analysis of accounts shows that there were only 3.26% that were over 90 days at July 31, 2021.
●
Inventories
increased $549,000 during the current quarter as compared to a $405,000 increase last year. The larger increase is primarily due
to the fact that the Company is continuing to buy more raw materials due to increased orders and that the prices of raw materials
continue to increase.
19
●
For
the quarter ended July 31, 2021 there was a $196,000 increase in prepaid expenses compared to a decrease of $94,000 for the quarter
ended July 31, 2020. The current increase is due to more prepayments of raw materials. Lead times and costs have risen on raw materials,
making it a challenge to obtain these raw materials.
●
Accounts
payable shows a decrease of $236,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 compared to an increase of $117,000 for the same quarter
the year before. The variance is primarily due to timing differences of when product is received. Management strives to pay all payables
within terms, unless there is a problem with the merchandise.
●
Accrued
expenses increased $99,000 for the current quarter as compared to a $61,000 decrease for the quarter ended July 31, 2020. The difference
in the amounts is primarily due to timing of when payroll periods end.
●
Income
tax payable for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 increased $547,000, compared to a $346,000 increase for the quarter ended July 31,
2020. The current increase is due to larger tax estimates in relation to increased income.
Investing
●
The
Company purchased $40,000 of property and equipment during the current fiscal quarter. In comparison, $95,000 was spent on purchases
of property and equipment during the corresponding quarter last year.
●
The
Company continues to purchase marketable securities, which include municipal bonds and quality stocks. Cash spent on purchases of
marketable securities for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 was $98,000 compared to $111,000 spent during the quarter ended July 31,
2020. We continue to use “money manager” accounts for most stock transactions. By doing this, the Company gives an independent
third party firm, who are experts in this field, permission to buy and sell stocks at will. The Company pays quarterly service fees
based on the value of the investments.
Financing
●
The
Company continues to purchase back common stock when the opportunity arises, but for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
the Company did not buyback any treasury stock.

New
Product Development
The
Company and its’ engineering department perpetually work to develop enhancements to current product lines, develop new products
which complement existing products, and look for products that are well suited to our distribution network and manufacturing capabilities.
Items currently in various stages of the development process include:
●
Explosion
proof contacts that will be UL listed for hazardous locations are in development. There has been demand from our customers for this
type of high security magnetic reed switch.
●
An
updated version of the pool access alarm (PAA) has met electrical listing testing (ETL) approval
and production has started. This next-generation model combines our battery operated DPA
series with our hard wired 289 series. A variety of installation options will be available
through jumper pin settings.
We
are currently redesigning our glass break detector switch and water shutoff system to include a brass valve.
●
Wireless
technology is a main area of focus for product development. We are looking into adding wireless technology to some of our current
products. A wireless contact switch is in the final stages of development. Also, we are working on wireless versions of our Pool
Alarm and environmental sensors that will be easy to install in current construction. We are also concentrating on making products
compatible with Wi-Fi, smartphone technology and the increasing popular Z-Wave standard for wireless home automation.
21
Other
Information
In
addition to researching developing new products, management is always open to the possibility of acquiring a business or product line
that would complement our existing operations. Due to the Company’s strong cash position, management believes this could be achieved
without the need for outside financing. The intent is to utilize the equipment, marketing techniques and established customers to deliver
new products and increase sales and profits.
There
are no known seasonal trends with any of GRI’s products, since we sell to distributors and OEM manufacturers. Our products are
tied to the housing industry and will fluctuate with building trends.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which was subsequently
amended in February 2020 by ASU 2020-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842).”
The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit
losses on certain types of financial instruments (e.g., loans and held-to-maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial
instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable
and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics
may be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. The update with amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe this new guidance will have a material
impact on its financial statements and will implement the disclosures related to this update beginning in 2023.
In
January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint
Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.”
The ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions.
ASU 2016-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure
certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from
observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the
amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method
of accounting. ASU 2020-01 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have
any impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
There
are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
