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.

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 for our CC-15 is complete and now needs to go to U.L. for approval. This will allow us to manufacture several different versions. One is a 15-amp version that would automatically turn on a whole room of lights. Another is a 220-volt version to be used in international markets.

We 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 deviceExplosion proof contacts that will power devicesbe 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 small motors, fans, sirens, strobesgovernment buildings, military use, nuclear facilities, 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.financial institutions.

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 sensorResearch is being developed that will monitor water levelsdone on updating our small profile glass break detector, in livestock tanksaddition to looking at development of programmable temperature and sump pumps.humidity sensors with built-in hysteresis.

Wireless technology is a main area of focus for product development. We are looking intoconsidering 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 Alarmmonitoring devices which include glass break detection, tilt sensing 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 versionmonitoring. A redesign of our 200-36 overhead door switch line upbrass water valve shut-off system is nearingnear 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.

Two sizes of our custom power transfer device (PTDC) have been introduced. The PTDC series offers a secure way to channel electrical wiring from the door frame to the door and 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.

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 accountscredit losses 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 loss position. When it is determined that a security will probablylikely 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.

Critical Audit Matter – Revenue Recognition – Refer to Note 1 of the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company primarily generates revenue through non-complex sales transactions that require limited judgement. However, there are instances in which revenue contracts contain complexities that are subject to critical judgment around when the performance obligation is satisfied. These specific elements of revenue are variable considerations, returns and allowances.

Consideration in contracts with customers is variable due to anticipated reductions such as discounts, rebates, and allowances. Accordingly, revenues are recorded net of estimated variable consideration, returns and allowances, based on known or expected values.

This matter was considered a critical audit matter as there is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures and evaluation of audit evidence related to contractual terms in customer arrangements to determine the amounts of consideration.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for these specific elements are the following:

Critical Audit Matter – Valuation of Investments – Refer to Note 1 and Note 3 of the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, state and municipal debt securities, REITS, and money markets and they are recorded at fair value. Some of these investments are Level 2 investments and can be hard to value. In addition, as the securities held at fair value, management must assess securities that are in a significant unrealized loss position for other than temporary impairment. For these securities, management must make difficult and subjective judgements about the ability of the issuer to be able to meet its obligations under terms of the security. These judgements can have a significant impact on the Company’s reported earnings if they should prove to be significantly inaccurate.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal procedures related to the Company’s process for debt securities valuations as well as the process for equity securities other than temporary impairment evaluation included are the following:
