NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2018

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, 2017 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 May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The objective of this update is to provide a robust framework for addressing revenue recognition issues and, upon its effective date, replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance. This update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and the interim periods within that year. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s financial statements.

In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize so-called right-of-use assets and liabilities for most leases having lease terms of 12 months or more. This update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019 and the interim periods starting thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s financial statements.

In February of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under this update, companies have the option to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. Under current US GAAP, effects from a change in tax law is recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations in the period of enactment, even if the deferred taxes were established for a financial statement component not part of continuing operations, such as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Adopting of this standard will remove tax effects stranded in AOCI by the tax law enactment. Adoption of this ASU is optional. This update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and the interim periods starting thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2: Investments

The Company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, corporate bonds, state and municipal debt securities, real estate investment trusts, and money markets funds. The investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value. Available-for-sale investments in debt securities mature between June 2018 and November 2048. The Company uses the average cost method to determine the cost of securities sold and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported separately as a component of stockholders’ equity. Dividend and interest income are reported as earned.

As of January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017, investments consisted of the following:

			Gross		Gross
Investments at	Cost		Unrealized		Unrealized			Fair
January 31, 2018	Basis		Gains		Losses			Value
Municipal bonds	$	5,966,000	$	103,000	$	(238,000	)	$	5,831,000

Total	$	24,254,000	$	2,545,000	$	(417,000	)	$	26,382,000

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, management did not record an impairment loss during the quarter, but did record a loss of $23,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2018. Likewise, for the corresponding periods last year, management did not record a loss for the quarter, but did record a $13,000 impairment loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2017.

The following tables show 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 January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017, 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 January 31, 2018.

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 January 31, 2018

Note 3: Inventories

Inventories at January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017 consisted of the following:

	January 31,			April 30,
	2018			2017

Less: allowance for obsolete inventory		(73,000	)		(73,000	)
Totals	$	3,594,000		$	2,304,000

Note 4: Asset Purchase

In October 2017, George Risk Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) purchased assets from Labor Saving Devices, Inc. (“LSDI”). The purchase price for the assets consisted of $3,000,000 in cash and 24,097 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (valued at $200,000, or approximately $8.30 per share). An initial payment of $1,000,000 in cash was made at closing, with the remaining $2,000,000 in cash paid in November 2017.

The value of the assets purchased as described above at January 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

Type of Assets	Beginning Balance		Amortization			Total Assets, Net
Inventory	$	1,366,000		—		$	1,366,000
Fixed Assets	$	10,000		—		$	10,000

Note 7: 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 corporation. The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Matching contributions by the Company of approximately $2,000 were paid during both the quarters ending January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Likewise, the Company paid matching contributions of approximately $8,000 during the nine-month period ending January 31, 2018 and $7,000 during the corresponding period the prior fiscal year.

Note 8: Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) defines fair value as 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 January 31, 2018, our investments consisted of money markets, publicly traded equity securities, real estate investment trusts (REITS) as well as certain state and municipal debt securities and corporate bonds. Our marketable securities are valued using third-party broker statements. The value of the investments 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 tables set 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 new information becomes available in the future.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached condensed consolidated financial statements, and with the Company’s audited financial statements and discussion for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017.

Executive Summary

The Company’s performance has remained steady through the three quarters, with increased sales, being offset by increased cost of sales, and greatly improved investment returns. This is due to the continuation of our quality USA made products with the ability for customization, our notable customer service, and the purchase of the assets of Labor Saving Devices, Inc. New challenges the Company has endured over the nine months of this fiscal year include the continuation of training of our new software system, learning and incorporating the Labor Saving Devices product line, and dealing with some shortages and defects of raw materials.

Results of Operations

	●	Net sales were $3,260,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 2018, which is a 23.25% increase from the corresponding quarter last year. Year-to-date net sales were $8,597,000 at January 31, 2018, which is a 4.92% increase from the same period last year. A significant part of growth in sales is a direct result of the asset purchase of Labor Saving Devices and having a new product line to sell as a result of the purchase. Also, our ongoing commitment to outstanding customer service and customization of products are a few of the many reasons sales remained steady over the years.

	●	Cost of goods sold was 56.0% of net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 2018 and was 46.4% for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date cost of goods sold percentages were 50.4% for the current nine months and 47.6% for the corresponding nine months last year, which is just slightly over the target of less than 50% for both the quarter and year-to-date results. There were some added expenses that were incurred with the purchase of Labor Saving Devices that happened during this quarter but they were “one time” expenses management expects the cost of goods sold percentage to fall to return to normal in the future.

	●	Operating expenses increased by $146,000 for the quarter and also increased by $118,000 for the nine-months ended January 31, 2018 as compared to the corresponding periods last year. These increased costs are primarily due to increased new product development, increased commissions, and additional training and maintenance fees on our new computer software

	●	Income from operations for the quarter ended January 31, 2018 was at $582,000 which is an 18.02% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year, which had income from operations of $710,000. Income from operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 was at $1,973,000, which is a 7.20% decrease from the corresponding nine months last year, which had income from operations of $2,126,000.

	●	Other income and expenses are up when comparing to the current quarter and nine-month periods the prior year, with an increase of $115,000 in the current quarter and an increase of $115,000 for the current year-to-date. The majority of activity in these accounts consists of investment interest, dividends, and gain or loss on sale of investments. With the continued growth in the performance of the stock market, decisions were made to sell holdings and take the realized gain and dividends and interest payments exceeded expectations and many of our holdings had additional and increased dividend payouts.

	●	Overall, net income for the quarter ended January 31, 2018 was down $1,000, or 0.13%, from the same quarter last year. Similarly, net income for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2018 was down $19,000, or 0.93%, from the same period in the prior year.

	●	Earnings per common share for quarter ended January 31, 2018 were $0.16 per share and $0.41 per share for the year-to-date numbers. EPS for the quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2017 were also $0.16 per share and $0.41 per share, respectively.

Liquidity and capital resources

Operating

	●	Net cash decreased $2,504,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2018 as compared to an increase of $80,000 during the corresponding period last year. This is primarily due to the asset purchase of Labor Saving Devices, Inc., which was done without outside financing.

	●	Accounts receivable increased $636,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 compared with a $163,000 decrease for the same period last year. The current year increase is a result of improved sales and collections on accounts receivable taking a bit longer than normal. Management believes that approximately $16,000 of accounts over 90 days have a possibility of being uncollectible.

	●	Inventories increased $1,291,000 during the current nine-month period as compared to an decrease of $426,000 last year, primarily due to the inventory purchased from Labor Saving Devices.

	●	Prepaid expenses saw a $359,000 increase for the current nine months, primarily due to the prepayment of inventory the Company purchases. Likewise, the prior nine months showed a $48,000 increase in prepaid expenses.

	●	Income tax overpayment for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 increased $221,000, as the overpayment also showed an increase of $43,000 for the same period the prior year. The main reason for the current increase is that the Company expects to generate additional income with the asset acquisition that happened earlier this fiscal year.

	●	Accounts payable shows increases for both nine-month periods at $239,000 and $20,000, respectively. The company strives to pay all invoices within terms, and the variance in increases is primarily due to the timing of receipt of products and payment of invoices.

	●	Accrued expenses decreased $127,000 for the current nine-month period as compared to a $72,000 decrease for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2017.

Investing

	●	As for our investment activities, the Company spent approximately $342,000 on acquisitions of property and equipment for the current nine-month period, in comparison with the corresponding nine months last year, where there was activity of $146,000.

	●	As a result of the asset acquisition of Labor Saving Devices, Inc. (“LSDI”), a net amount of $1,624,000 of intangible assets were bought, along with inventory and fixed assets. Since the acquisition took place in the current year, there was no cash towards this item for the same reporting period last year.

	●	Additionally, the Company continues to purchase marketable securities, which include municipal bonds and quality stocks. During the nine-month period ended January 31, 2018 there was quite a bit of buy/sell activity in the investment accounts. Net cash spent on purchases of marketable securities for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2018 was $653,000 compared to $668,000 spent in the prior nine-month period. 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 a quarterly service fee based on the value of the investments.

Financing

	●	The Company continues to purchase back common stock when the opportunity arises. For the nine-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Company purchased $3,000 worth of treasury stock. This is in comparison to $551,000 spent in the same nine months period the prior year.

	●	The company paid out dividends of $1,617,000 during the nine months ending January 31, 2018. These dividends were paid during the second quarter. The company declared a dividend of $0.36 per share of common stock on September 30, 2017 and these dividends were paid by October 31, 2017. As for the prior year numbers, dividend paid was $1,596,000 for the nine months ending January 31, 2017. A dividend of $0.35 per common share was declared and paid during the second fiscal quarter last year.

The following is a list of ratios to help analyze George Risk Industries’ performance:

	For the quarter ended
	January 31, 2018		January 31, 2017
Working capital (current assets – current liabilities)	$	36,407,000	$	34,041,000
Current ratio (current assets / current liabilities)		18.596		17.171
Quick ratio ((cash + investments + AR) / current liabilities)		16.394		15.773

New Product Development

The Company and its engineering department continue to develop enhancements to 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 the development process include:

	●	A new face plate for our pool alarms is nearing completion. The innovative design is slim in style and will also allow the homeowner to change the plate to match their décor.

	●	An updated version of the pool access alarm is currently going through ETL testing. 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.

	●	The case for our CC15 is complete and has been submitted to U.L. for approval for the US and Canada. This will allow us to manufacture several different versions. One is a 15-amp version that would automatically turn on a whole room of lights. Another is a 220-volt version to be used in international markets.

	●	We continue to work on high security switches. We have a triple biased high security switch design nearly complete and an adjustable magnet design was completed for recessed mounting applications.

	●	We continue to research the possibilities of fuel level sensing and how that may also serve other agricultural based needs. Several companies from around the world have been looking for ways to secure fuel tanks and trucks. Our emphasis would be in ways to safely monitor fuel levels and report tampering.

	●	A new float water sensor is being developed that will monitor water levels in livestock tanks and sump pumps.

	●	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 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.

	●	An updated version of our 200-36 & 4532 overhead door switch line up is nearing completion with the new aluminum cases presently on order. The modified versions, the 200-36UF and 4532UF, are being made as a universal fit switch. This will allow an installer to replace an existing switch without drilling new holes into the cement or adjusting the location. The modified case has an additional mounting hole along with reshaped mounting holes.

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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The objective of this update is to provide a robust framework for addressing revenue recognition issues and, upon its effective date, replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance. This update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and the interim periods within that year. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable

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 January 31, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer (also working as our chief financial officer) 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.

We have taken measures to improve our disclosure controls and procedures. A new accounting professional was hired in October 2017 to fill the Controller position. Regarding this filing, more training will be required to fulfill disclosure control and procedure responsibilities, including review procedures for key accounting schedules and timely and proper documentation of material transactions and agreements. Until sufficient training has taken place of this new Controller, we believe this control deficiency represents material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

Despite the material weaknesses in financial reporting noted above, we believe that our consolidated 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
