The security products division comprises the largest portion of GRI sales and products are sold worldwide through distributors, who in turn sell these products to security installation companies. These products are used for residential, commercial, industrial and government installations. International sales accounted for approximately 12.4%12.5% of revenues for fiscal year 20172020 and 6.4%11.4% for 2016.2019.

GRI is known for its quality American made products, top-notch customer service and the willingness to work with customers on their special applications.

GRI owns and operates its main manufacturing plant and offices in Kimball, Nebraska with a satellite plant 40 miles away in Gering, Nebraska.

In comparison, other income accounted for 22.12%31.01% of the income before income taxes for the year ending April 30, 2016.2019. Management’s philosophy behind having holdings in marketable securities is to keep the money working and gaining interest on the cash that is not needed to be put back into the business. And overOver the years, the investments have kept the earnings per share up when the results from operations have not fared as well.

Management is always open to the possibility of acquiring a business that would complement our existing operations. This would probably not require any outside financing. The intent would be to utilizeoperations, which is exactly what took place in October 2017 when the equipment, marketing techniquesCompany purchased substantially all of the assets from Labor Saving Devices, Inc. (“LSDI”) and established customers to increase sales and profits.Roy Bowling (“Bowling”).

There are no known seasonal trends with any of GRI’s products, since we mostly sell to distributors and OEM manufacturers.original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The products are tied to the housing industry and will fluctuate with building trends.

New product development

The GRI Engineering department continues to develop enhancements to our existing products as well as to develop new products that will continue to secure our position in the industry.

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.

The case forAn updated version of the pool access alarm is currently going through electrical listing testing. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has happened, not much testing has progressed. This next-generation model combines our CC-15 is complete and now needs to go to U.L. for approval. Thisbattery operated DPA series with our hard wired 289 series. A variety of installation options 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 have completed two new low voltage switching devices and they have been introduced into the marketplace. The LVSD is a 2-amp, 12/24-VDC switching device that will power devices such as small motors, fans, sirens, strobes and LED lights. The LEDSD is a 2amp, 12/24-VDC controller with 2.1mm x 5.5mm connectors for use with LED lighting (puck, rope, strip, track and more). It can be used to turn on LED lighting in cabinets, display cases, closets, pantries, etc.

Mold work has been completed on connectors for our EZ-Duct line and these connectors are currently out for U.L. testing. This will allow the raceway line to be U.L. Listed for fire rating and high voltage.

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.available through jumper pin settings.

Wireless technology is a main area of focus for product development. We are looking into 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 versionIn the next month we are introducing a couple of new security products. They are listed below:

We have launched our new GR1840 Oval Metal Door Channel Magnet. This is a direct replacement for the obsolete Interlogix magnet. This magnet fits into the top channel of a metal door and does not require drilling into the door core. We have also paired this with several of our 200-36 overhead¾” and 1” steel door switch line up is nearing completion. The modified version, the 200-36UF, is 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.contacts.

Two sizes of our custom power transfer device (PTDC)There have been introduced. The PTDC series offers a secure way to channel electricalseveral new products that have been introduced for our cable and wiring from the door frame to the door andtools segment. They are used for powering exit bars, locks, electric strikes etc. GRI offers two different end pieces; 0.218” inside diameter and 0.313” inside diameter, which will allow different sizes of wire to be looped through the custom length armored cable.listed below:

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of ourthe financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidatedthe financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to makethe use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results could differ from those estimates. OurThe most critical accounting policies relate to accounts receivable; marketable securities; inventory; income taxes; and segment reporting.

Accounts receivable—Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products to security alarm distributors, alarm installers, and original equipment manufacturers. Management performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and the Company generally does not require collateral.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of specifically identified customer balances. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given date. Any unanticipated change in any one of these customers’ credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectability of amounts due from such customers could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off.

Marketable securities—The Company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, state and municipal debt securities, corporate bonds and REITs.real-estate investment trusts (REITs). The investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale securities, and are reported at fair value. The Company uses the average cost method to determine the cost of securities sold and any unrealized gains or losses on equity securities are reported in the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income intorespective 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.

In accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (US GAAP), the Company evaluates all marketable securities for other-than temporary declines in fair value. When the cost basis exceeds the fair market value for approximately one year, management evaluates the nature of the investment, cause of impairment and number of investments that are in an unrealized position. When it is determined that a security will probably remain impaired, a recognized loss is booked and the investment is written down to its new fair value. The investments are periodically evaluated to determine if impairment changes are required.

Inventories—Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or marketnet realizable value. Costs are determined using the average cost-pricing method. The Company uses standardactual costs to price its manufactured inventories, approximating average costs. The reported net value of inventory includes finished saleable products, work-in-process and raw materials that will be sold or used in future periods. Inventory costs include raw materials, direct labor and overhead. The Company’s overhead expenses are applied, based in part, upon estimates of the proportion of those expenses that are related to procuring and storing raw materials as compared to the manufacture and assembly of finished products. These proportions, the method of their application, and the resulting overhead included in ending inventory, are based in part on subjective estimates and approximations and actual results could differ from those estimates.

In addition, the Company records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents the cost of the inventory that has had no movement in over two years. There is inherent professional judgment and subjectivity made by management in determining the estimated obsolescence percentage. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events.

Income Taxes—US GAAP requires use of the assets and liability method,method; whereby current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on tax rates and laws enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax expense represents the change in the deferred tax asset/liability balances.

Segment Reporting and Related Information—The Company designates the internal organization that is used by management for allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. US GAAP also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic area and major customers.

George Risk Industries, Inc. (GRI or the Company) was incorporated in 1967 in Colorado. The Company is presently engaged in the design, manufacture, and sale of custom computer keyboards, push button switches, burglar alarm components and systems, pool alarms, thermostats, EZ Duct wire covers, water sensors and water sensors.wire and cable installation tools.

Nature of Business—The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of custom computer keyboards, push-button switches, proximity sensors, security alarm components, pool alarms, liquid detection sensors, raceway wire covers, wire and cable installation tools and various other sensors and devices.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products to security alarm distributors, alarm installers, and original equipment manufacturers. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and the Company generally does not require collateral.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of specifically identified customer balances. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually substantial amounts due at any given date. Any unanticipated change in any one of these customers’ credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectability of amounts due from such customers could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,425$7,306 for the year ended April 30, 20172020 and $74$9,321 for the year ended April 30, 2016.2019. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017,2020, bad debt expenserecovery was $2,351.$156. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016,2019, bad debt expense was a net credit of $2,489.$3,807.

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.net realized value. Cost is determined using the average cost-pricing method. The Company uses standardactual costs to price its manufactured inventories, approximating average costs.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated based on the following estimated useful lives using the straight-line method:

Depreciation expense of $187,000$250,000 and $182,000$231,000 was charged to operations for the years ended April 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Advertising—Investment in Limited Land Partnership – Held for Sale — In November 2002, the Company purchased 6.67% of a prime 22-acre land parcel for development in Winter Park-Grand County, CO for investment purposes for a total of $200,000. The goal was to hold the property for resale(s) in 2-5 years, but many efforts to sell the property have not materialized. Over the years, there have been a total of $120,000 of additional contributions to aid in improvements and recurring expenses such as debt service, utilities, taxes, maintenance, insurance and professional fees. Management has evaluated this investment and does not believe there is any impairment and that the full cost will be recovered when sold.

Intangible Assets — Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, unless it is determined their lives to be indefinite. The two intangible assets currently being amortized are (1) a non-compete agreement with a useful live of 5 years and (2) intellectual property with a useful live of 15 years. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had $1,517,000 of net intangible asset costs, while the net intangible assets costs at April 30, 2019 were $1,640,000. Amortization expense was $123,000 for the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of April 30, 2020, future amortization of intangible assets is expected as follows:

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share — The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260-10-45 Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of income. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Advertising — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling expenses. Advertising expense amounted to $330,000$174,000 and $289,000$223,000 for the years ended April 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively.

Income Taxes—US GAAP requires use of the liability method, whereby current and deferred Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based onrecorded for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax rates and laws enacted asreturns. Measurement of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax expense represents the change in the deferred tax asset/liability balances.items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets or liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, we evaluate the probability of realizing the future benefits comprising that asset and record a valuation allowance if considered necessary.

The flow-through method of accountingAccounting standards prescribe a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for tax credits has been adopted by the Company. Such credits are reflected as a reductionfinancial statement recognition and measurement of the provisionpositions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. A “more likely than not” tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than a fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement, or else a full reserve is established against the tax asset or a liability is recorded. Tax years open for examination by taxing authorities are 2016, 2017, and 2018. Interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions are recorded as income taxes in the year in which they become available.tax expense.

Net Income Per Common Share—Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. The dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method. Under this method, preferred dividends applicable to convertible preferred stock are added to the numerator and convertible preferred stock is assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period.

Accounting Estimates—The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions including the carrying value of assets. The estimates and assumptions result in approximate rather than exact amounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—Financial Certain financial instruments consistare required to be recorded at fair value. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash andflows. Other financial instruments, including cash equivalents, certain investments and short-term debt, are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair values of long-term debt and financial instruments are disclosed in Note 11.

Investments — The accounting policies for the Company’s principal investments are as follows: Debt Securities  and Equity Securities: Effective May 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 “Financial Instruments-Overall (ASC Subtopic 825-10):Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”) (See the Adoption of New Pronouncements section). As a result, the Company measures its equity securities at fair value and recognizes any changes in fair value in net income. Prior to adoption, equity securities were designated as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized capital gains (losses) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). The Company’s Debt Securities  are currently designated as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in AOCI and presented net of related changes in deferred income taxes. Purchases and sales of debt securities and equity securities are recorded on the trade date. Investment gains and losses on sales of securities are generally determined on a first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

The Company evaluates all marketable securities accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximatefor other-than temporary declines in fair value, duewhich 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 their short-term nature.the new fair value and recognize a real loss. The investments are periodically evaluated to determine if impairment changes are required.

Revenue Recognition—Revenue Effective May 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company recognizes product revenue using a five-step approach to determine the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized. The five-step approach requires (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue for product sales upon transfer of title to the customer. Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and the completion of any customer acceptance requirements, when applicable, are used to verify product delivery or that services have been rendered. The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. Payments received from customers in advance of product shipment or revenue recognition are treated as deferred revenues and recognized when risksthe product is shipped.

Variable Consideration -- The Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods. Certain customers may receive cash and/or non-cash incentives such as cash rebates, customer discounts (such as volume or trade discounts), which are accounted for as variable consideration. In some cases, the Company must apply judgment, including contractual rates and benefitshistorical payment trends, when estimating variable consideration.

Product Returns -- In the normal course of business, the Company may allow customers to return product per the provisions in ownershipa sale agreement. Estimated product returns are transferred,recorded as a reduction in reported revenues with offsetting entries recorded in the balance sheet quarterly based upon historical product return experience, adjusted for known trends, to arrive at the amount of consideration expected to receive.

Product Warranties -- In the normal course of business, the Company offers warranties for a variety of its products. The specific terms and conditions of the warranties vary depending upon the specific product and markets in which normally occursthe products were sold. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of product warranty at the time of shipmentsale based on historical experience.

Shipping and Handling Costs — The Company considers all shipping and handling to be fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of products.sales.

Comprehensive Income—US GAAP requires disclosure of total non-stockholder changes in equity in interim periods and additional disclosures of the components of non-stockholder changes in equity on an annual basis. Total non-stockholder changes in equity include all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from fiscal investments by and distributions to stockholders.

Segment Reporting and Related Information—The Company designates the internal organization that is used by management for allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. US GAAP also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic area and major customers. At April 30, 2017,2020, the Company operated in twothree segments organized by security line products, cable and wiring tools (Labor Saving Devices - LSDI) products, and all other products. See Note 9 for further segment information disclosures.

Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The total net income and equity are unchanged due those reclassifications.

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 ofJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02No. 2016-13, “LeasesFinancial Instruments – Credit Losses . Under(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires entities to use a forward looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the new guidance, lessees will be requiredstandard to recognize so-called right-of-use assets and liabilities for most leases having lease terms of 12 months or more. This updateprovide additional clarification on specific topics. Topic 326 is effective in annual reportingfor fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 31, 201915, 2019. As a result, we are required to apply this guidance in our fiscal 2021 interim and annual financial statements commencing May 1, 2020. Currently, we do not expect this guidance to impact our results of operations, financial position, or statement of cash flow.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods starting thereafter.within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. We do not expect this guidance to impact our results of operations, financial position, or statement of cash flow.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” The ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions. ASU 2016-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluatingdoes not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact of this update on the Company’sits financial statements.

There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Subsequent Events – Management has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after April 30, 20172020 through August 12, 2017,13, 2020, the report date of the financial statements. During this period,and subsequent to the Company didfourth quarter of the current fiscal year, the world has been impacted by the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). It has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response; the effect on our clients and client demand for our services and solutions; our ability to sell and provide our services and solutions, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home; the ability of our clients to pay for our services and solutions; and any material recognizable subsequent events.closures of our and our clients’ offices and facilities. Any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or stock price.

The Company manufactures and supplies “essential” products and services to many critical industries, so our production facilities will continue to operate. The health and safety of our employees and their families remains our top priority. Therefore, we have implemented many Center of Disease Control protocols to keep our employees safe while the Company continues to produce products and provide service to our customers. While we are operating in a rapidly changing environment, we also continue to hear positive news from our raw material suppliers.
