NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2024
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, 2024 annual report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”). 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.
Significant Accounting Policies — The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended July 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new guidance is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have to the financial statements and related disclosures, which is not expected to be material.
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 through changes to 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 is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its 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.
As of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, investments consisted of the following:

Total | $ | $ | $ | ( | ) | $ |
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,
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, 2024, the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains
of $

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, 2024 and April 30, 2024, 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, 2024 and April 31, 2024.
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, 2024 and April 30, 2024.

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.
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, 2024 and April 30, 2024, 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.

Item 2: | Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
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, 2024.
Executive Summary
The Company’s performance improved during the quarter ended July 31, 2024 as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2023. Sales, income from operations, and overall net income have increased when comparing these figures to the same quarter last year The Company still has a sizable back-order log and there have still been times that certain raw materials have not been available. Overall, during this current quarter, the economy has strengthened and inflation levels have leveled out, which has helped shape our profitable numbers. Opportunities include focusing on ramping up production to meet customer’s needs to get product to them in a timely manner, which includes looking into more automation, and to continue looking at businesses that might be a good fit to purchase. We also continue to work on new products that will be a good fit for our industry and business. Challenges in the coming months include continuing to get product out to customers in a timely manner and dealing with the ongoing effects of inflation. Management continues to work at keeping operations flowing as efficiently 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, 2024 showed a 22.25% increase over the same period in the prior year. The Company saw increased sales resulting primarily from a strengthened economy, which has helped improve growth in the housing market. Management also believes that sales stay strong due to our ongoing commitment to outstanding customer service and our ability to customize products. | |
● | The cost of goods sold percentage decreased from 52.07% of sales during the quarter last year, to 49.05% for the current quarter, which is right at Management’s goal to keep labor and other manufacturing expenses below 50%. The decreased cost of goods sold percentage is a result of a steadier economy. Management strives to be as efficient as possible as material costs continue to increase. Wages also continue to increase in order to remain competitive in the job market. |
16 |
● | Operating expenses increased by $92,000 when comparing the current year quarter to the same quarter for the prior year. When comparing percentages in relation to net sales, the operating expenses decreased to 20.26% for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 as compared to 22.82% for the corresponding quarter last year. The dollar amount increase is primarily the result of increased sales commissions. 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, 2024 was at $1,774,000, which is a 49.45% increase from the corresponding quarter last year, which had income from operations of $1,187,000. | |
● | Other income and expenses showed a $1,875,000 gain for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 as compared to a $1,773,000 gain for the quarter ended July 31, 2023. For the three months ended July 31, 2024, $1,346,000 of unrealized gains from equity securities were recorded, compared to $1,634,000 of unrealized losses from equity securities recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2023. The remainder of the increase is primarily due to dividend and interest income paid on investments and gains on sales of investments. | |
● | The Company’s provision for income taxes showed an increase of $358,000 from $586,000 in the quarter ended July 31, 2023 to $944,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2024. This increase is primarily due to increased income. Income before provisions for income tax is up $689,000 when comparing the current quarter ending July 31, 2024 to the same quarter the prior year. | |
● | In turn, net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 was $2,705,000, a 13.94% increase from the corresponding quarter last year, which showed net income of $2,374,000. | |
● | Earnings per share for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 were $0.55 per common share and $0.48 per common share for the quarter ended July 31, 2023. |
Liquidity and capital resources
Operating | ||
● | Net cash increased $2,255,000 during the quarter ended July 31, 2024 as compared to an increase of $611,000 during the corresponding quarter last year. The details are listed below. | |
● | Accounts receivable, net increased $255,000 for the quarter ending July 31, 2024 compared with a $431,000 decrease for the same quarter last year. The increase in cash flow from accounts receivable is directly attributable to the increase in sales and customers being able to pay in a slightly timelier manner. Management is always working with customers to collect on accounts and to keep past due accounts to a minimum. An analysis of accounts receivable shows that 4.76% of the balance was over 90 days at July 31, 2024. | |
● | Inventories, net decreased $313,000 during the current quarter as compared to a $521,000 increase last year. The current period decrease is primarily due to the fact that the Company has increased sales and using inventory faster than it is being replenished. |
● | For the quarter ended July 31, 2024, there was a $104,000 increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets compared to an increase of $482,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2023. The current increase is due to having to prepay for inventory during the quarter; therefore, having more money in prepayments of raw materials on the books. | |
● | Accounts payable shows a decrease of $30,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 compared to a decrease of $50,000 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 and other current liabilities increased $125,000 for the current quarter as compared to a $2,000 increase for the quarter ended July 31, 2023. The difference in the amounts is primarily due to the timing of when payroll periods end and increases in sales commissions. | |
● | Income tax payable for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 increased $697,000, compared to a $304,000 decrease in income tax receivable for the quarter ended July 31, 2023. The current year income tax payable increase is a result of increased income. |

Investing | ||
● | The Company purchased $105,000 of property and equipment during the current fiscal quarter. In comparison, $201,000 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, 2024 was $212,000 compared to $150,000 spent during the quarter ended July 31, 2023. 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.
The Company received a cash distribution of $269,000 from the investment in the limited land partnership during the quarter ending July 31, 2024. This was the second distribution received from the sale of the limited land partnership and the rest of the proceeds are contingent on finishing wetland restoration of the land. | |
Financing | ||
● | The Company continues to repurchase common stock when the opportunity arises. For the quarter ended July 31, 2024 the Company did not buy back any treasury stock but $22,000 was bought back during the quarter ended July 31, 2023. |
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. | |
● | The Company is developing magnetic contacts which are listed under UL 634 Level 2. These sensors are for high security applications such as government buildings, military use, nuclear facilities, and financial institutions. | |
● | Research is being done on updating our small profile glass break detector, in addition to looking at the development of programmable temperature and humidity sensors with built-in hysteresis. An expansion of the GR3045 panic switch is in the works to include single pull, double throw (SPDT) versions, latching, and non-latching with LED indicator lights. A miniature profile overhead door contact based on the popular 4532 is also in development. | |
● | Wireless technology is a main area of focus for product development. We are considering 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 monitoring devices which include glass break detection, tilt sensing and environmental monitoring. A redesign of our brass water valve shut-off system is near completion. |
Other Information
In addition to researching and 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.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
This disclosure does not apply.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (also working as our chief financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of July 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures employed at the Company were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
In our annual report filed on Report 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2024, management identified the following significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting:
● | The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired level of separation of duties for proper internal controls and financial reporting, particularly as it relates to financial reporting to assure material disclosures or implementation of newly issued accounting standards are included. We have hired a Controller, and a secondary review of annual and quarterly filings does occur with an outside CPA. However, the current CEO and CFO roles are being fulfilled by the same individual and we do not have an audit committee. We do not believe we have met the full requirement for separation of duties for financial reporting purposes. |
Despite the significant deficiency in financial reporting noted above, we believe that our financial statements included in this report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in all material respects.
We are committed to the establishment of effective internal controls over financial reporting and will place emphasis on quarterly and year-end closing procedures, timely documentation, and internal review of accounting and financial reporting consequences of material contracts and agreements, and enhanced review of all schedules and account analyses by experienced accounting department personnel or independent consultants.
We will continue to follow the standards for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for internal control over financial reporting to include procedures that:
● | Pertain to the maintenance of records in reasonable detail that fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; |
● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and |
● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than those mentioned above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
