NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARYOCTOBER 31, 20182020

 

Note 1:1 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, 20172020 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year.

 

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

 

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

In February 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, 2019 and the interim periods starting thereafter.15, 2019. We have applied this guidance, as of May 1, 2020, using a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impactapplication of this updateguidance did not require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and did not have a material effect on the Company’sour financial statements.

 

In February ofAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under this update, companies have2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the option to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. Under current US GAAP, effects from a change in tax law is recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations in the period of enactment, even if the deferred taxes were established for a financial statement component not part of continuing operations, such as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Adopting of this standard will remove tax effects stranded in AOCI by the tax law enactment. Adoption of this ASU is optional. This updatedisclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective in annual reportingfor fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 20182019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. We applied this guidance, as of May 1, 2020. The application of this guidance did not have a material effect on our disclosures.

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 starting thereafter.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.

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 temporaryother-than-temporary declines in fair value, which are defined as when the cost basis exceeds the fair value for approximately one year. The Company also evaluates the nature of the investment, cause of impairment and number of investments that are in an unrealized position. When an “other-than-temporary” decline is identified, the Company will decrease the cost of the marketable security to the new fair value and recognize a real loss. The investments are periodically evaluated to determine if impairment changes are required. As a result of this standard, management did not recordrecorded an impairment loss duringof $52,000 for the quarter, but did recordand recorded a loss of $23,000$79,000 for the ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018. Likewise,2020. As for the corresponding periods last year, management did not record arecorded an impairment loss of $7,000 for the quarter but did record a $13,000ended October 31, 2019 and an impairment loss of $41,000 was recorded for the nine monthssix-months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2017.2019.

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, 2020 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $184,000 and gross realized losses of $110,000. For the same period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $2,000 were recorded. As for the six-months ended October 31, 2020 the Company had sales of equity securities which yielded gross realized gains of $286,000 and gross realized losses of $236,000. For the same six-month period, sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains, but gross realized losses of $6,000 were recorded. During the quarter ending October 31, 2019, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $67,000 and $57,000, respectively, while sales of debt securities did not yield any gross realized gains or losses. During the six-months ending October 31, 2019, the Company recorded gross realized gains and losses on equity securities of $220,000 and $161,000, respectively, as well as gross realized gains and losses on debt securities of $3,000 and $3,000, respectively. The gross realized loss numbers include the impaired figures listed in the previous paragraph.

The following tables showtable 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 JanuaryOctober 31, 20182020 and April 30, 2017,2020, 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 JanuaryOctober 31, 2018.2020.

 

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 JanuaryOctober 31, 20182020.

Note 8:7 Fair Value Measurements

 

Generally accepted accounting principles inThe carrying value of the United States of America (US GAAP) definesCompany’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value asdue 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 1Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
   
 Level 2Valuation 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 3Valuation 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 JanuaryOctober 31, 2018,2020, our investments consisted of money markets, publicly traded equity securities, real estate investment trusts (REITS)(REITs) as well as certain state and municipal debt securities and corporate bonds. Oursecurities. The marketable securities are valued using third-party broker statements. The value of the investmentsmajority 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 tables settable 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.

Likewise, theraw materials and running through some of our prepaid agreements without needing to renew them. The prior ninesix months showed a $48,000$271,000 increase in prepaid expenses.
   
 Income tax overpayment for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 increased $221,000, as the overpayment also showedAccounts payable shows an increase of $43,000 for the same period the prior year. The main reason for the current increase is thatsix-month period of $28,000 while it shows a decrease for the Company expects to generate additional income with the asset acquisition that happened earlier this fiscal year.
Accounts payable shows increases for both nine-monthprior six-month periods at $239,000 and $20,000, respectively.of $36,000. The company strives to pay all invoices within terms, and the variance in increasesthe decreases is primarily due to the timing of receipt of products and payment of invoices.
   
 Accrued expenses decreased $127,000$104,000 for the current nine-monthsix-month period as compared to a $72,000 decreasean $11,000 increase for the nine-monthsix-month period ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2017.2019. The difference in the amounts is primarily due to timing issues.
Income tax payable increased $376,000 for the current six-month period, compared to having a decrease in income tax overpayment for the six-months ended October 31, 2019. The current increase is largely due to having increased sales and income and not having income tax estimates large enough. Also, since the Company was notified that the PPP loan was forgiven, the forgiveness amount was included in the income tax expense calculation.

Investing

 

 As for our investment activities, the Company spent approximately $342,000 on acquisitionspurchased $361,000 of property and equipment forduring the current nine-month period, insix-month period. In comparison, with$179,000 was spent on purchases of property and equipment during the corresponding ninesix months last year, where there was activity of $146,000.
As a result of the asset acquisition of Labor Saving Devices, Inc. (“LSDI”), a net amount of $1,624,000 of intangible assets were bought, along with inventory and fixed assets. Since the acquisition took place in the current year, there was no cash towards this item for the same reporting period last year.
   
 Additionally, theThe Company continues to purchase marketable securities, which include municipal bonds and quality stocks. During the nine-monthsix-month period ended JanuaryOctober 31, 20182020 there was quite a bit of buy/sell activity in the investment accounts. Net cash spent on purchases of marketable securities for the nine-monthsix-month period ended JanuaryOctober 31, 20182020 was $653,000$186,000 compared to $668,000$250,000 spent in the prior nine-monthsix-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 COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the performance of the stock market, which has affected the real and unrealized gains/losses. Management believes that more realized losses were recorded when investments were sold and more write downs had to be recorded.

 

Financing

 

 On April 15, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of approximately $950,000 from FirsTier Bank, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020.

New Product Development

 

The Company and its engineering department continue to develop enhancements to product lines, develop new products whichthat complement existing products, and look for products that are well suited to our distribution network and manufacturing capabilities. Items currently in the development process include:

 

A new face plateExplosion proof contacts that will be UL listed for hazardous locations. There has been demand from 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.customers for this type of high security magnetic reed switch.

An updated version of the pool access alarm is(PAA) has met electrical listing testing (ETL) approval and we are currently going through ETLwaiting on component parts to begin production and field testing. This next-generation model combines our battery operated DPA series with our hard wired 289 series. A variety of installation options will be available through jumper pin settings.

The case for our CC15 is complete and has been submitted to U.L. for approval for the US and Canada. This will allow us to manufacture several different versions. One is a 15-amp version that would automatically turn on a whole room of lights. Another is a 220-volt version to be used in international markets.
We continue to work on high security switches. We have a triple biased high security switch design nearly complete and an adjustable magnet design was completed for recessed mounting applications.
We continue to research the possibilities of fuel level sensing and how that may also serve other agricultural based needs. Several companies from around the world have been looking for ways to secure fuel tanks and trucks. Our emphasis would be in ways to safely monitor fuel levels and report tampering.
A new float water sensor is being developed that will monitor water levels in livestock tanks and sump pumps.
Wireless technology is a main area of focus for product development. We are considering adding wireless technology to some of our current products. A wireless contact switch is in the final stages of development. Also, we are working on wireless versions of our Pool Alarmpool access 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 high security realm, the Company has introduced the 2707 Series which is a triple high biased magnetic reed contact and available in SPDT and DPDT models. These contacts are resistant to magnetic tamper and defeat. They are used in applications such as airports, biotechnology labs, manufacturing plants, banks, military bases, and energy-generation facilities.

The 3045 Panic Switch contains screw terminals and uses an actuating lever which can be triggered with only the tip of our 200-36 & 4532 overhead doorthe finger. It can be installed under a counter or desk or any similar place. The 3045CT uses 12’ extreme temperature rated wire for installation in refrigerators and freezers. Both models have a latching LED indicating when the switch line up is nearing completion withactivated and automatically resets when the new aluminum cases presently on order. The modifiedlever is closed and is fully re-armed. Latching LED and UL Listed versions the 200-36UF and 4532UF, are being made as a universal fit switch. This will allow an installer to replace an existing switch without drilling new holes into the cement or adjusting the location. The modified case has an additional mounting hole along with reshaped mounting holes.follow.

 

Other Information

 

In addition to researching and developing new products, management is always open to the possibility of acquiring a business or product line that would complement our existing operations. Due to the Company’s strong cash position, management believes this could be achieved without the need for outside financing. The intent is to utilize the equipment, marketing techniques and established customers to deliver new products and increase sales and profits.

 

There are no known seasonal trends with any of GRI’s products since we sell to distributors and OEM manufacturers. Our products are tied to the housing industry and will fluctuate with building trends.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

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, 2019 and the interim periods starting thereafter.15, 2019. We have applied this guidance, as of May 1, 2020, using a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impactapplication of this updateguidance did not require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and did not have a material effect on the Company’sour financial statements.

 

In February ofAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under this update, companies have2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the option to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. Under current US GAAP, effects from a change in tax law is recorded as a component of the income tax provision related to continuing operations in the period of enactment, even if the deferred taxes were established for a financial statement component not part of continuing operations, such as accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Adopting of this standard will remove tax effects stranded in AOCI by the tax law enactment. Adoption of this ASU is optional. This updatedisclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective in annual reportingfor fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 20182019. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. We applied this guidance, as of May 1, 2020. The application of this guidance did not have a material effect on our disclosures.

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 starting thereafter.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.

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 JanuaryOctober 31, 2018.2020. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer (also working as our chief financial officer)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.

 

We have taken measures to improveIn our disclosure controls and procedures. A new accounting professionalannual report filed on Report 10-K for the year ended April 30 ,2020, 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 not occur. 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 for financial reporting purposes.

During the quarter ending October 31, 2020, a Controller was hired by the Company in October 2017 to fill the Controller position. Regarding this filing, more trainingSeptember 2020. 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 offor 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 consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in all material respects.

 

We are committed to the establishment of effective internal controls over financial reporting and will place emphasis on quarterly and year-end closing procedures, timely documentation and internal review of accounting and financial reporting consequences of material contracts and agreements, and enhanced review of all schedules and account analyses by experienced accounting department personnel or independent consultants.
