REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of George Risk Industries, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of George Risk Industries, Inc. (the Company) as of April 30, 2026 and 2025, and the
related income statements, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period ended April 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2026 and
2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2026, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Critical
Audit Matter – Inventory Valuation
Critical
Audit Matter Description
The
Company manufactures its inventory, which involves the capture of direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs to inventory instead
of as an expense when valuing work-in-process and finished goods inventory. This process involves complex calculations based on employee
hours worked on manufacturing inventory, and the amount of overhead that will be captured is based on management’s subjective judgments.
These judgments can have a significant impact on the Company’s reported assets and earnings if they should prove to be significantly
inaccurate.
F- 2
How
the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
Our
principal procedures related to the Company’s valuation of work-in-process and finished goods inventory included the following:
●
We
evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to the valuation of manufactured inventory, including the methodology
of how manufactured overhead is applied to inventory.
●
We
tested the direct labor applied to a sample of work-in-process and finished goods inventory items by agreeing employees’ applied
costs to their pay rates per their human resources file maintained by the company.
●
We
tested the application of manufacturing overhead to a sample of work-in-process and finished goods inventory by recalculating the
overhead we would expect to be applied based on the company’s standard overhead rate and the number of direct labor hours applied
to the inventory.
Critical
Audit Matter – Valuation of Investments
Critical
Audit Matter Description
The
company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, state and municipal debt securities, REITS, and money markets and they
are recorded at fair value. Some of these investments are Level 2 investments and do not have an observable value. In addition, as
the securities are held at fair value, management must assess securities that are in a significant unrealized loss position for
other than temporary impairment. For these securities, management must make difficult and subjective judgments about the ability of
the issuer to be able to meet its obligations under terms of the security. These judgments can have a significant impact on the
Company’s reported earnings if they should prove to be significantly inaccurate.
How
the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
Our
principal procedures related to the Company’s process for debt securities valuations as well as the process for equity securities
other than temporary impairment evaluation included the following:
●
We
evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to the identification of other than temporary impairment.
●
Valuation
specialists, with specialized skills and knowledge, were involved in the assessment of the fair values for a sample of Level 2 investments.
●
We
performed testing over a sample of securities to determine if conclusions reached by management regarding other than temporary impairment
were appropriate.

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
George
Risk Industries, Inc. (GRI or the Company) was incorporated in 1967 in Colorado. The Company is presently engaged in the design, manufacture,
and sale of custom computer keyboards, proximity switches, security alarm components and systems, pool access alarms, EZ Duct wire covers,
water sensors, electronic switching devices, high security switches, and wire and cable installation tools.
Nature
of Business — The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of custom computer keyboards, proximity sensors,
security alarm components, pool access alarms, liquid detection sensors, raceway wire covers, wire and cable installation tools, and
various other sensors and devices.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes
it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Estimated Credit Losses — Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade
terms. The Company sells its products to security alarm distributors, alarm installers, and original equipment manufacturers. The Company
extends credit to its customers based on their creditworthiness and performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial
condition. If the Company believes extending credit is not advisable, other payment methods, such as prepayments, are required. Balances
deemed uncollectible by the Company are written off against our allowance for credit loss accounts.
The
Company maintains an allowance for estimated credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected credit losses resulting
from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. We estimate our allowance for credit losses based on
relevant information such as historical experience, current conditions, and future expectations of specifically identified customer balances.
This allowance is adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions. The Company has recorded an allowance for estimated credit losses
of $ 55,259 for the year ended April 30, 2026, and $ 12,414 for the year ended April 30, 2025. For the year ended April 30, 2026, the provision
for credit losses on accounts receivable was an expense of $ 42,845 compared to a credit of $ 21,842 for the year ended April 30, 2025.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk — The Company has a limited number of customers with individually substantial amounts due at any given date.
Any unanticipated change in any one of these customers’ creditworthiness or other matters affecting the collectability of amounts
due from such customers could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur.
F- 11
Inventories
— Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost-pricing method.
The Company uses actual costs to price its manufactured inventories, approximating average costs.
Property,
plant and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated based on the following estimated
useful lives using the straight-line method:

expense of $ 229,000 and $ 366,000 was charged to operations for each of the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred, and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is credited
or charged to operations.
Investment
in Limited Land Partnership (LLP) — In November 2002, the Company purchased 6.67% of a prime 22-acre land parcel for development
in Winter Park-Grand County, CO for investment purposes for a total of $ 200,000 . Over the years, there have been a total of $ 144,000
in additional contributions to support improvements and recurring expenses such as debt service, utilities, taxes, maintenance, insurance,
and professional fees. The goal of the investment was to hold the property for resale(s) in 2 - 5 years, but many efforts to sell the property
did not materialize for many years. Fortunately, the sale finally happened on June 30, 2023. Disbursement of the sale proceeds was contingent
on completing wetland restoration of the land, and we have received net proceeds totaling $ 292,000 over the last two fiscal years.

Assets — Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, unless it is determined
that their lives are indefinite. The intangible asset currently being amortized is intellectual property with a useful life of 15 years.
As of April 30, 2026, the Company had $ 786,000 of net intangible assets, compared to net intangible assets of $ 907,000 as of April 30,
2025. Amortization expense was $ 121,000 for each of the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

As
of April 30, 2026, future amortization of intangible assets is expected as follows:

Basic
and Diluted Earnings per Share — The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 260-10-45 Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face
of the statement of income. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share exclude all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Advertising
— Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling expenses. Advertising expense amounted to $ 107,000
and $ 145,000 for the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Income
Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in
the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred tax items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event
that the future consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company’s assets or liabilities
result in a deferred tax asset, we evaluate the probability of realizing the future benefits comprising that asset and record a valuation
allowance if considered necessary.
Accounting
standards prescribe a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of positions taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For a tax benefit to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. A “more likely than not” tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater
than a fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement, or else a full reserve is established against the tax asset
or a liability is recorded. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may generally access additional income tax records for the
most recent three years. This would generally prevent the IRS from opening an examination for years ending on or before April 30, 2021.
However, there are exceptions that can extend the statute of limitations to six years, and in some cases, prevent the statute of limitations
from ever expiring. Interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions are recorded as income tax expense.
The Company
has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions on its tax returns for the years 2025, 2024, and prior. Based on
the evaluation of the 2026 transactions and events, the Company has no material uncertain tax positions that require measurement.
Purchase
of Transferrable Tax Credits – In September 2024, pursuant to transferability provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022, the Company executed an agreement to purchase a tax credit of $ 3,431,000 created by solar energy projects qualifying under Internal
Revenue Code Section 48 (the “Solar Tax Credit”) in exchange for consideration of $ 2,917,000 , resulting in a total gain on
federal Solar Tax Credit of $ 515,000 . This tax credit is available to offset income tax payments for the Company’s 2025 fiscal
year and for up to the prior four fiscal years.
F- 13
In January 2026, the Company purchased an additional
Solar Tax Credit of $ 960,000 in exchange for consideration of $ 826,000 , resulting in a gain of $ 134,000 for fiscal year 2026. Once the
amount of current federal income tax due for fiscal year 2026 is finalized, amendments will be made to prior fiscal years' returns until
the credit has been fully utilized. As of April 30, 2026, $ 2,300,000 of purchased credits remained unapplied and is reflected as a receivable
on the Company's balance sheet. Gains on the Solar Tax Credit of $ 134,000 and $ 515,000 for fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, are
recognized within the Company's income statements. These purchased credits are accounted for outside the scope of ASC 740 and, accordingly,
are not reflected as a component of income tax expense or within the effective tax rate reconciliation above; amounts applied against
the Company's federal income tax liability do, however, reduce the cash income taxes paid disclosed above.
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.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments — Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value. Changes in assumptions
or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact
on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other financial instruments, including cash equivalents, certain investments
and short-term debt, are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair values of long-term debt and financial instruments
are disclosed in Note 10.
Investments
— The accounting policies for the Company’s principal investments are as follows: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Effective May 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (ASC Subtopic 825-10):
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” As a result, the Company measures its equity securities
at fair value and recognizes any changes in fair value in net income. Prior to adoption, equity securities were designated as available-for-sale
and reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains (losses) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).
The Company’s debt securities are currently designated as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair
value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in AOCI and presented, net of related changes,
in deferred income taxes. Purchases and sales of debt securities and equity securities are recorded on the trade date. Investment gains
and losses on sales of securities are generally determined on a first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) basis.
The
Company evaluates all marketable securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, defined as when the cost basis exceeds 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 reduce the cost
of the marketable security to its new fair value and recognize a realized loss. The investments are periodically evaluated to determine
if impairment changes are required.
Revenue
Recognition — The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”
The Company recognizes product revenue using a five-step approach to determine the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized. The
five-step approach requires (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract,
(3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognizing
revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue for product sales upon transfer of title to the customer.
Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine whether an arrangement exists. Shipping documents and the completion
of any customer acceptance requirements, when applicable, are used to verify product delivery or that services have been rendered. The
Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the
sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. Payments received from customers in advance of product shipment or revenue recognition
are treated as deferred revenues and recognized when the product is shipped.

Variable
Consideration — The Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration for which it expects to be entitled in exchange
for transferring goods. Certain customers may receive cash and/or non-cash incentives, such as cash rebates and customer discounts (such
as volume or trade discounts), which are accounted for as variable consideration. In some cases, the Company must apply judgment, including
contractual rates and historical payment trends, when estimating variable consideration.
Product
Returns — In the normal course of business, the Company may allow customers to return products in accordance with the provisions
of a sale agreement. Estimated product returns are recorded as a reduction in reported revenues with offsetting entries recorded in the
balance sheet quarterly based upon historical product return experience, adjusted for known trends, to arrive at the amount of consideration
expected to be received.
Product
Warranties — In the normal course of business, the Company offers warranties for a variety of its products. The specific terms
and conditions of the warranties vary depending upon the specific product and markets in which the products were sold. The Company accrues
for the estimated cost of product warranty at the time of sale based on historical experience.
Shipping
and Handling Costs — The Company considers all shipping and handling to be fulfillment activities and not a separate performance
obligation. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of sales.
Research
and Development Costs — Generally, costs related to the research, design, and development of products are charged to engineering
expense as incurred. Certain research and development costs are recognized as assets on the balance sheet.
Comprehensive
Income — US GAAP requires disclosure of total non-stockholder changes in equity in interim periods and additional disclosures
of the components of non-stockholder changes in equity on an annual basis. Total non-stockholder changes in equity include all changes
in equity during a period except those resulting from fiscal investments by and distributions to stockholders.
Segment
Reporting and Related Information — In fiscal year 2025, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment
Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) that was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB). This new standard requires enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses annually.
F- 15
Operating
Segments and Related Disclosures
We
manage our company as one reportable operating segment. The segment information aligns with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision
Maker (“CODM”) reviews and manages our business. The Company’s CODM is Stephanie Risk-McElroy, President, Chief Executive,
and Financial Officer.
Financial
information, annual operating plans, and forecasts are prepared and reviewed by the CODM at the entity level. The CODM assesses performance
for the segment and decides how to allocate resources more effectively based on net income reported in the Statements of Income and Comprehensive
Income. The Company’s objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimize the financial results. The accounting policies
of our one reportable segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies herein.
For
single reportable segment-level financial information, total assets, and significant non-cash transactions, see Financial Statements.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Tax Disclosures (Topic
740) , to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by changing the rate reconciliation and income
taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
The Company has adopted this standard, which has had minimal impact on its Financial Statements
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose additional information
about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating
the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts
Receivable and Contract Assets , which provides that in developing supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses,
all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the
remaining life of the asset. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting
periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial
statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. An entity that elects the practical expedient should apply the amendment
prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new accounting guidance to have a material effect on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Subsequent
Events – Management has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after April 30, 2026 through the date of the filing.
During this period, the Company had no material recognizable subsequent events.

Company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, state and municipal debt securities, REITs, and money markets, and they
are recorded at fair value. The investments in debt securities, which include municipal bonds and bond funds, mature between June 2026
and December 2050. 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. Dividend and interest income are reported as earned.

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 income statement.
The
Company evaluates all investments 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 other than a temporary decline is identified, the Company will decrease the cost of the investment
to the new fair value and recognize a loss. The investments are periodically evaluated to determine if impairment changes are required.
As a result of this standard, there were no impairment losses recorded for the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.
The
Company’s investments are actively traded in the stock and bond markets. Therefore, there is either a realized gain or loss that
is recorded when a sale happens. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross
realized gains of $ 1,199,000 and gross realized losses of $ 312,000 . For the same period, there were sales of debt securities that yielded
$ 25,000 of gross realized gains, and sales of debt securities yielded gross realized losses of $ 14,000 . Comparatively, the Company recorded
gross realized gains on equity securities of $ 1,222,000 and gross realized losses of $ 264,000 for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.
As for debt securities, there were no sales of debt securities for gross realized gains, but sales of debt securities yielded gross realized
losses of $ 21,000 for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025. The gross realized loss numbers include the impaired figures listed in the
previous paragraph. Additionally, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $ 25,000 and $ 678,000 for the years ended
April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Municipal
Bonds
The
unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in municipal bonds resulted from 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 occurs, which may be at maturity, the Company does
not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of April 30, 2026 and 2025.
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. Management has evaluated the individual holdings and does not consider
these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of April 30, 2026 and 2025.

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
$ 67,000 and $ 58,000 were paid during the years ending April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Stockholders’
Equity
Preferred
Stock — Each share of the Series #1 preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into five shares of Class A
common stock and is also redeemable, at the option of the board of directors, at $ 20 per share. The holders of the convertible preferred
stock shall be entitled to a dividend at a rate up to $ 1 per share annually, payable quarterly as declared by the board of directors.
No dividends were declared or paid during the two years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.
Convertible
preferred stock without par value may be issued from time to time as determined by the board of directors. Shares of different series
shall be of equal rank but may vary as to terms and conditions.
In
an audit conducted in May 2025, it was discovered that an additional 139 preferred stock shares had been issued but were not accounted
for on the balance sheet. A journal entry has been made to remedy this error.
Class
A Common Stock —The holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends as declared by the board of directors,
usually on an annual basis.
During
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, the Company purchased 3,376 shares of Class A common stock. This was initiated by stockholders
contacting the Company.
Stock
Transfer Agent —The Company does not have an independent stock transfer agent. The Company maintains all stock records.

The
reconciliation above begins with the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 %, the statutory rate of the jurisdiction in which the
Company is domiciled. Substantially all of the state and local income tax category relates to Nebraska, the state in which the Company
is domiciled and conducts substantially all of its operations. No individual foreign jurisdiction, and no individual reconciling item
within a foreign jurisdiction, met the 5% disaggregation threshold under ASC 740-10-50-12A(b) in either year presented; foreign tax effects
and related foreign tax credits relate to withholding taxes on the Company's portfolio of foreign dividend-paying securities. Non-taxable
or non-deductible items consist primarily of the dividends-received deduction and tax-exempt interest income. The Company had no valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets and no unrecognized tax benefits as of April 30, 2026 or 2025.

Fair Value Measurements
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values
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 used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) 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 on quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2
Valuation is based on 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 using 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 the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Investments
and Marketable Securities
As
of April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s investments consisted of money markets, publicly traded equity securities, REITs as well
as certain state and municipal bonds. Marketable securities are valued using third-party broker statements. The value of most securities
is derived from quoted market information. The inputs to the valuation are 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 tables set forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and 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.
