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 impairment losses recorded for either of the quarter or the nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022.
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 occurs. For the quarter ended January 31, 2023 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $118,000 and gross realized losses of $69,000. For the same period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $5,000 were recorded. As for the nine-months ended January 31, 2023 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $403,000 and gross realized losses of $522,000. For the same nine-month period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $46,000 were recorded. During the quarter ending January 31, 2022, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $121,000 and $27,000, respectively, while sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $3,000 were recorded. During the nine-months ending January 31, 2022, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $465,000 and $61,000, respectively. For the same nine-month period last year, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $13,000 were recorded. The gross realized loss numbers include the impaired figures listed in the previous paragraph.

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, 2023 and April 30, 2022.
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, 2023 and April 30, 2022.

| 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 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 $14,000 and $16,000 were paid during each quarter ending January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Likewise, the Company paid matching contributions of approximately $43,000 and $48,000 during each nine-month period ending January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
| Note 7: | Fair Value Measurements |
The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of our investments is determined utilizing market-based information. Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.
US GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The levels of the fair value hierarchy under US GAAP are described below:
| Level 1 | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
| Level 2 | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. |
| Level 3 | Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
Investments and Marketable Securities
As of January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022, our investments consisted of money markets, publicly traded equity securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs) as well as certain state and municipal debt securities. 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.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
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 new information becomes available in the future.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed financial statements, and with the Company’s audited financial statements and discussion for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022.
Executive Summary
The Company’s performance in operations stayed consistent through the three quarters of the current fiscal year with the third quarter dipping slightly in sales over the second quarter of the current fiscal year. This is mainly due the fact that our business is tied to the housing market and the winter months usually show a slowdown and the colder and snowier than normal weather has been keeping employees away from our locations at times. Opportunities include keeping up with the business growth and finding ways to get our products out to our customers in a timelier manner. One way we are doing this is by looking into more automation. We also continue to look at businesses that might be a good fit to purchase. We also have new products that are scheduled to be introduced by the end of the fiscal year. Challenges in the coming months include continuing to get product out to customers in a timely manner and dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and inflation. Possible COVID-19 challenges include, but are not limited to, price increases and/or delays in the supply chain, reduced sales, workforce interruptions, and economic conditions impacting the stock market. Management continues to work at keeping operations flowing as efficiently as possible with the hopes of getting the facilities running leaner and more profitable than ever before.
Results of Operations
| ● | Net sales were $4,366,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 2023, which is a 13.61% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year. Year-to-date net sales were $15,194,000 at January 31, 2023, which is a 0.38% decrease from the same period last year. The slight reduction in sales is due to our general winter and holiday slowdown and there has been more winter weather than normal. But we continue to operate our business with our ongoing commitment to outstanding customer service and our ability to customize products. |
| ● | Cost of goods sold was 55.98% of net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 2023 and was 56.61% for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date cost of goods sold percentages were 53.15% for the current nine months and 51.85% for the corresponding nine months last year. The current cost of goods sold percentages are right outside of Management’s goal of keeping labor and other manufacturing expenses at less than 50% for both the quarter and year-to-date results. Management continues to work with and train employees to work more efficiently. Raw material prices have soared over the current fiscal year because of inflation and wages have had to be raised to remain competitive in the job market. Management offset some of these added expenses by implementing a 10% price increase effective January 1, 2023. |
| 18 |
| ● | Operating expenses decreased by $27,000 for the quarter and they decreased by $6,000 for the nine-months ended January 31, 2023 as compared to the corresponding periods last year. When comparing percentages in relation to net sales, the operating expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 2023 was 23.41% of net sales while it was 20.76% of net sales for the same quarter the prior year. For year-to-date numbers, operating expense were 21.32% and 21.28% of net sales for the nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has been able to keep the operating expenses at less than 30% of net sales for many years now; however, the actual dollar amount increase is due to increased commission amounts, related to increased sales, and additional labor costs related wage increases. |
| ● | Income from operations for the quarter ended January 31, 2023 was $900,000, a 21.33% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year, which had income from operations of $1,144,000. Income from operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2023 was $3,878,000, which is a 5.37% decrease from the corresponding nine months last year, which had income from operations of $4,098,000. |
| ● | Other income and expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 2023 shows income of $1,775,000, which is a $2,860,000 increase from the from the corresponding quarter last year, which had an expense amount of $1,085,000. Comparatively, there is an increase of $144,000 in other income for the year-to-date numbers. 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 increase in the current quarter and year-to-date numbers is unrealized gain and loss on equity securities. The Company is at the mercy of the stock market when it comes to these figures and market has seen a recovery since the COVID-19 pandemic and other economic factors. |
| ● | Overall, net income for the quarter ended January 31, 2023 was up $1,848,000, or 1147.83%, from the same quarter last year. Similarly, net income for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2023 was up $72,000, or 2%, from the same period in the prior year. |
| ● | Earnings per common share for quarter ended January 31, 2023 were $0.41 per share and $0.74 per share for the year-to-date numbers. EPS for the quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2022 were $0.03 per share and $0.73 per share, respectively. |
Liquidity and capital resources
Operating
| ● | Net cash decreased $813,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2023 as compared to a decrease of $938,000 during the corresponding period last year. |
| 19 |
| ● | Accounts receivable decreased $824,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2023 compared with a $91,000 decrease for the same period last year. The current year decrease is a result of a slight decline in sales and slower collections of accounts receivable. An analysis of accounts receivable shows that there were 7.02% that were over 90 days at January 31, 2023. |
| ● | Inventories increased $2,444,000 during the current nine-month period compared to an increase of $1,465,000 last year. The larger increase in the current year is due to increases in the cost of raw materials and having more raw materials on hand to not run into shortages like what has happened recently. |
| ● | Prepaid expenses saw a $458,000 decrease for the current nine months, primarily due to having inventory and machinery delivered during the current nine-month period; therefore, having less money in prepayments of raw materials on the books. The prior nine months showed a $1,089,000 increase in prepaid expenses. |
| ● | Income tax overpayment increased $478,000 for the current nine-month period, compared to having a decrease of $163,000 in income tax payable for the nine-months ended January 31, 2022. The current increase is due to having to pay additional income tax that was due for the prior fiscal year during the current period. |
| ● | Accounts payable shows an $84,000 increase for the current nine-month period ended January 31, 2023 compared to a $176,000 decrease for the prior nine-month period. 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 increased $184,000 for the current nine-month period compared to a $130,000 increase for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2022. The difference in the amounts is primarily due to increased wages. |
Investing
| ● | As for our investment activities, the Company spent approximately $221,000 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 $164,000. |
| ● | Additionally, the Company continues to purchase marketable securities, which include municipal bonds and quality stocks. During the nine-month period ended January 31, 2023 the buy/sell activity in the investment accounts was continued as usual. Net cash spent on purchases of marketable securities for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2023 was $648,000 compared to $640,000 spent in the prior nine-month period. The Company continues 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, 2023, the Company purchased $5,000 worth of treasury stock. This is in comparison to $35,000 spent in the same nine months period the prior year. |

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:
| ● | Explosion proof contacts that will be UL listed for hazardous locations. 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. |
| ● | 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
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, 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, 2022, 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. A secondary review over annual and quarterly filings does occur with an outside party. Due to the departure of the Controller, the current CEO and CFO roles are being fulfilled by the same individual. 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. |
We continue to operate with a limited number of accounting and financial personnel. For the quarter ending January 31, 2023, the Company did not have a Controller, but management is looking to fill this position as soon as possible. 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 for this new Controller, we believe this control deficiency represents material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. To mitigate the effects of the material weakness identified in our annual report, the Company contracted with an outside CPA to perform a secondary review of our quarterly report filed on Form 10-Q.
Despite the material weaknesses in financial reporting noted above, we believe that our condensed 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
Other than those mentioned above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
