NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 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. 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 consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended October 31, 2024.

 

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 $373,000. This tax credit is available to offset income tax expense for the Company’s 2025 fiscal year.

 

During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company paid cash of $1,945,000 for this purchase and applied $947,000 of the tax credit towards income tax expense for the first six months of fiscal year 2025. As of October 31, 2024, the remaining Solar Tax Credit of $2,485,000 is shown as a receivable, and the remaining consideration of $972,000 is shown as a current liability, on our condensed balance sheet. This liability was paid in November 2024.

 

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, a gain on Solar Tax Credit of $373,000 has been recognized in our condensed statements of operations, and a deferred gain on solar tax credit remains as a current liability on our condensed balance sheet as of October 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 has evaluated the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have to the financial statements and related disclosures and expects to have significant changes to the disclosures regarding segments. The Company plans to adopt this ASU beginning with its fiscal year beginning May 1, 2025.

 

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.

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 August 2025 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. 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 October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, 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, there were no impairment losses recorded for either of the quarter or the six months ended October 31, 2024, while management recorded an impairment loss of $22,000 for the quarter and six-month period ended October 31, 2023.

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 October 31, 2024 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $378,000 and gross realized losses of $35,000. For the same period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $7,000 were recorded. As for the six-months ended October 31, 2024 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $646,000 and gross realized losses of $83,000. For the same six-month period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $14,000 were recorded. During the quarter ending October 31, 2023, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $108,000 and $60,000, respectively, while sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $2,000 were recorded. During the six-months ending October 31, 2023, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $214,000 and $278,000, respectively, while sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $7,000 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 October 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 October 31, 2024 and April 30, 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 October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024.

Earnings per Share

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive. The dilutive common shares for the three months ended October 31, 2023 are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. As of October 31, 2024 there were 20,500 potentially dilutive shares.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share, assuming convertible preferred stock was converted for each period presented, are:

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 by the Company of approximately $13,000 and $14,000 were paid during each quarter ending October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Likewise, the Company paid matching contributions of approximately $29,000 during each of six-month periods ending October 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

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 October 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.

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 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 remained steady through the first half of the current fiscal year with the second quarter showing a decrease in sales over the first quarter of the current fiscal year. This is mainly due to not having a few vital raw materials that are needed to complete the manufacture of our products. Also, management is not seeing as many high dollar orders as there were in the first quarter This is because production has caught up on back orders and, since we are tied to the housing market, there almost always is a decline from the first to second quarter and inflation is still very high. As far as overall company performance, the net income is up when comparing the current six-month period to the prior six-month period. Management continues to keep manufacturing and operating expenses in check and the current year realized and unrealized gains on investments have increased over the same periods last year. Opportunities include keeping up with the business growth, finding ways to get our products out to our customers in a timelier 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 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 ongoing effects of inflation. 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 were $5,613,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 2024, which is a 7.27% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year. Year-to-date net sales were $11,394,000 at October 31, 2024, which is a 5.69% increase from the same period last year. The decrease in sales in the current quarter is a result of the business getting caught up on back orders and seeing the lingering results of inflation having smaller orders coming in. But management believes the ongoing commitment towards outstanding customer service and customization of products are just a few of the many reasons sales continue to grow.

 

 

	●	Cost of goods sold was 51.65% of net sales for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 and was 48.72% for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date cost of goods sold percentages were 50.33% for the current six months and 50.19% for the corresponding six months last year. The current cost of goods sold percentage goals of keeping labor and other manufacturing expenses at less than 50% are just slightly over for the quarter and year-to-date results. The increased cost of goods sold percentages are a result of increased wages and some increased material costs as management continues to work on finding ways to be more efficient.
	●	Operating expenses were up $95,000 for the quarter and were up $188,000 for the six-months ended October 31, 2024 as compared to the corresponding periods last year. When comparing percentages in relation to net sales, the operating expenses for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 was 21.93% of net sales while it was 18.77% of net sales for the same quarter the prior year. For year-to-date numbers, operating expense were 21.09% and 20.55% of net sales for the six months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company has been able to keep the operating expenses at less than 25% of net sales for many years now; however, the actual dollar amount increase is because of increased commission amounts (since sales have increased) and additional labor costs for wage increases.
	●	Income from operations for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 was at $1,483,000, which is a 24.64% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year, which had income from operations of $1,968,000. Income from operations for the six months ended October 31, 2024 was at $3,256,000, which is a 3.20% increase from the corresponding six months last year, which had income from operations of $3,155,000.
	●	Other income and expenses are up when comparing the current quarter to the same quarter of the prior year, with an increase of $3,273,000 in the current quarter. Comparably, other income and expenses are up by $3,375,000 when comparing the current six-month period to the prior six-month period. Most of the activity in these accounts consists of investment interest, dividends, real gains or losses on sale of investments, and unrealized gains or losses on equity securities. The main reason for the gains in the current quarter and year-to-date numbers are the unrealized gain and loss on equity securities numbers. The stock market influences these figures, and the current state of the economy has been performing well.
	●	Overall, net income for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 was up $2,270,000, or 4,127.27%, over the same quarter last year. Conversely, net income for the six-month period ended October 31, 2024 was up $2,601,000, or 112.16%, over the same period in the prior year.
	●	Earnings per common share for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 were $0.45 per share and $1.00 per share for the year-to-date numbers. EPS for the quarter and six months ended October 31, 2023 were ($0.01) per share and $0.47 per share, respectively.

 

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Operating

 

	●	Net cash decreased $1,658,000 during the six months ended October 31, 2024 compared to a decrease of $1,381,000 during the corresponding period last year.
	●	Accounts receivable increased $19,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2024 compared with a $553,000 increase for the same period last year. The smaller current year increase is a result of improved collection on accounts receivable. An analysis of accounts receivable shows that 6.69% of the receivables were over 90 days at October 31, 2024, while 6.71% were over 90 days for the same period last year.
	●	Inventories decreased $435,000 during the current six-month period compared to a $1,103,000 increase last year. The decrease in the current year is primarily due to fewer purchases of raw materials compared to the prior six-month period.
	●	Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased $21,000 for the current six months, primarily due to increased prepayments on inventory during the current six-month period. The prior year six months showed a $608,000 decrease in prepaid expenses.
	●	The federal solar tax credit receivable represents the remaining federal solar tax credits we will receive from our purchase of transferrable tax credits, pursuant to transferability provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
	●	Accounts payable decreased $33,000 for the current six-month period compared to a decrease of $323,000 for the prior six-month period. The company strives to pay all invoices within terms, and the variance is primarily due to the timing of receipt of products and payment of invoices.
	●	The federal solar tax credit payment payable represents the remaining liability for the purchase of transferrable tax credits. This amount was paid in November 2024.
	●	The deferred gain on solar tax credit represents the portion of the gain on the purchase of federal solar tax credits that has not yet been recognized. This will be recognized as more of the federal solar tax credits are applied to income tax payable.
	●	Accrued expenses decreased $29,000 for the current six-month period compared to a $72,000 decrease for the six-month period ended October 31, 2023. The difference in the amounts is primarily due to timing issues.
	●	Income tax payable increased $65,000 for the current six-month period, compared to having a decrease of $25,000 in income tax receivable for the six-months ended October 31, 2023. The current year income tax payable increase is a result of increased income.

 

Investing

 

	●	As for our investment activities, the Company purchased $308,000 of property and equipment during the current six-month period. In comparison, $243,000 was spent on purchases of property and equipment during the corresponding six months last year.
	●	The Company continues to purchase marketable securities, which include municipal bonds and quality stocks. During the six-month period ended October 31, 2024 there was quite a bit of buy/sell activity in the investment accounts. Net cash used to purchase marketable securities for the six-month period ended October 31, 2024 was $361,000 compared to $273,000 cash used in the prior six-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.

 

 

●

The Company received a cash distribution of $269,000 from the investment in the limited land partnership during the six-month period ending October 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 purchase back its common stock when the opportunity arises. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2024, the Company did not purchase any treasury stock, compared to $41,000 repurchased in the corresponding six-month period last year.
	●	The company declared a dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock on September 30, 2024, which was paid out during the second quarter. This is an increase to the dividend of $0.65, which was declared and paid during the second fiscal quarter last year.

 

New Product Development

 

The Company and its engineering department continue to develop enhancements to product lines, develop new products that 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.

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 October 31, 2023. 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 material weakness 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 material weaknesses 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 October 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements	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. 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 consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended October 31, 2024.   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 $373,000. This tax credit is available to offset income tax expense for the Company’s 2025 fiscal year.   During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company paid cash of $1,945,000 for this purchase and applied $947,000 of the tax credit towards income tax expense for the first six months of fiscal year 2025. As of October 31, 2024, the remaining Solar Tax Credit of $2,485,000 is shown as a receivable, and the remaining consideration of $972,000 is shown as a current liability, on our condensed balance sheet. This liability was paid in November 2024.   For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, a gain on Solar Tax Credit of $373,000 has been recognized in our condensed statements of operations, and a deferred gain on solar tax credit remains as a current liability on our condensed balance sheet as of October 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 has evaluated the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have to the financial statements and related disclosures and expects to have significant changes to the disclosures regarding segments. The Company plans to adopt this ASU beginning with its fiscal year beginning May 1, 2025.   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.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Investments	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 August 2025 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. 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 October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, investments consisted of the following:  Schedule of Investments         Gross     Gross         Investments at   Cost     Unrealized     Unrealized     Fair   October 31, 2024   Basis     Gains     Losses     Value   Municipal bonds   $ 7,325,000     $ 170,000     $ (78,000 )   $ 7,417,000   REITs     74,000       —       (6,000 )     68,000   Equity securities     17,428,000       10,703,000       (149,000 )     27,982,000   Money markets and CDs     892,000       —       —       892,000   Total   $ 25,719,000     $ 10,873,000     $ (233,000 )   $ 36,359,000               Gross     Gross         Investments at   Cost     Unrealized     Unrealized     Fair   April 30, 2024   Basis     Gains     Losses     Value   Municipal bonds   $ 7,057,000     $ 28,000     $ (100,000 )   $ 6,985,000   REITs     74,000       —       (8,000 )     66,000   Equity securities     17,408,000       9,303,000       (209,000 )     26,502,000   Money markets and CDs     935,000       1,000       —       935,000   Total   $ 25,474,000     $ 9,331,000     $ (317,000 )   $ 34,488,000     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, there were no impairment losses recorded for either of the quarter or the six months ended October 31, 2024, while management recorded an impairment loss of $22,000 for the quarter and six-month period ended October 31, 2023.     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 October 31, 2024 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $378,000 and gross realized losses of $35,000. For the same period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $7,000 were recorded. As for the six-months ended October 31, 2024 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $646,000 and gross realized losses of $83,000. For the same six-month period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $14,000 were recorded. During the quarter ending October 31, 2023, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $108,000 and $60,000, respectively, while sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $2,000 were recorded. During the six-months ending October 31, 2023, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $214,000 and $278,000, respectively, while sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $7,000 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 October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, respectively.   Unrealized Loss Breakdown by Investment Type at October 31, 2024  Schedule of Unrealized Loss Breakdown by Investment Type       Debt securities, unrealized loss, less than 12 months       Debt securities, unrealized loss, less than 12 months, accumulated loss       Debt securities, unrealized loss, 12 months or greater       Debt securities, unrealized loss, 12 months or greater, accumulated loss       Debt securities, unrealized loss fair value       Debt securities, unrealized loss fair value, accumulated loss       Less than 12 months     12 months or greater     Total   Description   Fair Value     Unrealized Loss     Fair Value     Unrealized Loss     Fair Value     Unrealized Loss   Municipal bonds   $ 273,000     $ (5,000 )   $ 993,000     $ (73,000 )   $ 1,266,000     $ (78,000 ) REITs     —       —       40,000       (6,000 )     40,000       (6,000 ) Equity securities     670,000       (57,000 )     488,000       (92,000 )     1,158,000       (149,000 ) Total   $ 943,000     $ (62,000 )   $ 1,521,000     $ (171,000 )   $ 2,464,000     $ (233,000 )   Unrealized Loss Breakdown by Investment Type at April 30, 2024         Debt securities, unrealized loss, less than 12 months       Debt securities, unrealized loss, less than 12 months, accumulated loss       Debt securities, unrealized loss, 12 months or greater       Debt securities, unrealized loss, 12 months or greater, accumulated loss       Debt securities, unrealized loss fair value       Debt securities, unrealized loss fair value, accumulated loss       Less than 12 months     12 months or greater     Total   Description   Fair Value     Unrealized Loss     Fair Value     Unrealized Loss     Fair Value     Unrealized Loss   Municipal bonds   $ 5,897,000     $ (20,000 )   $ 773,000     $ (80,000 )   $ 6,670,000     $ (100,000 ) REITs     —       —       66,000       (8,000 )     66,000       (8,000 ) Equity securities     2,255,000       (72,000 )     766,000       (137,000 )     3,021,000       (209,000 ) Total   $ 8,152,000     $ (92,000 )   $ 1,605,000     $ (225,000 )   $ 9,757,000     $ (753,000 )   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 October 31, 2024 and April 30, 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 October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024.

Income Per Share of Common Stock
Earnings per Share	Note 5 Earnings per Share   Net Income (Loss) Per Share   Basic income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Retirement Benefit Plan	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 by the Company of approximately $13,000 and $14,000 were paid during each quarter ending October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Likewise, the Company paid matching contributions of approximately $29,000 during each of six-month periods ending October 31, 2024 and 2023.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	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 October 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.

Accounting Estimates	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	Significant Accounting Policies — The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended October 31, 2024.
Purchase of Transferrable Tax Credits	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 $373,000. This tax credit is available to offset income tax expense for the Company’s 2025 fiscal year.   During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company paid cash of $1,945,000 for this purchase and applied $947,000 of the tax credit towards income tax expense for the first six months of fiscal year 2025. As of October 31, 2024, the remaining Solar Tax Credit of $2,485,000 is shown as a receivable, and the remaining consideration of $972,000 is shown as a current liability, on our condensed balance sheet. This liability was paid in November 2024.   For the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, a gain on Solar Tax Credit of $373,000 has been recognized in our condensed statements of operations, and a deferred gain on solar tax credit remains as a current liability on our condensed balance sheet as of October 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	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 has evaluated the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have to the financial statements and related disclosures and expects to have significant changes to the disclosures regarding segments. The Company plans to adopt this ASU beginning with its fiscal year beginning May 1, 2025.   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.
