NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 2017

 

Note 1: Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s April 30, 2017 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 of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize so-called right-of-use assets and liabilities for most leases having lease terms of 12 months or more. This update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019 and the interim periods starting thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 2: Investments

 

The Company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, corporate bonds, state and municipal debt securities, real estate investment trusts, and money markets. The investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale securities, and are reported at fair value. Available-for-sale investments in debt securities mature between September 2017 and November 2048. The Company uses the average cost method to determine the cost of securities sold and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported separately as a component of stockholders’ equity. Dividend and interest income are reported as earned.

 

 

As of July 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, investments consisted of the following:

 

						Gross				Gross
Investments at		Cost				Unrealized				Unrealized				Fair
July 31, 2017		Basis				Gains				Losses				Value
Municipal bonds		$	6,062,000			$	108,000			$	(186,000	)		$	5,984,000

Money markets and CDs		$	2,757,000			$	-			$	-			$	2,757,000
Total		$	24,254,000			$	2,545,000			$	(417,000	)		$	26,382,000

 

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, management did not need to record any impairment losses for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 while $13,000 was recorded as an impairment loss for the quarter ended July 31, 2016

 

The following table shows the investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be “other-than-temporarily impaired”, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at July 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, 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 July 31, 2017.

 

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 July 31, 2017.

 

 

Note 3: Inventories

 

Inventories at July 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017 consisted of the following:

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 corporation. The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Matching contributions by the Company of approximately $2,000 were paid during both the quarter ending July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

 

Note 7: Fair Value Measurements

 

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) defines fair value as 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 July 31, 2017, our investments consisted of money markets, certificates of deposits (CDs), publicly traded equity securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs) as well as certain state and municipal debt securities and corporate bonds. 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 table sets forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and a non-recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by US GAAP, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Any statements herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project” or “continue,” and the negatives of such terms are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The information included herein represents our estimates and assumptions as of the date of this filing. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached condensed financial statements, and with the Company’s audited financial statements and discussion for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017.

 

Executive Summary

 

The Company’s performance has declined slightly through the first quarter. This is mainly due to increased competition and having to deal with production impediments that have been a direct result from implementing our new computer software. Conversely, to offset the decline in sales, our investments have had strong returns. Opportunities include continuing to learn and grow with our new computer system to be able to get product out to our customers in a productive and timely manner. Also, we have new products that are scheduled to enter the marketplace by the end of the calendar year. Challenges in the coming months include continuing to learn about and train employees on the new computer software, with the hopes of getting our facilities running more lean and profitable than ever before.

 

Results of Operations

 

	●	Net sales showed a 15.68% decrease over the same period in the prior year. Management believes this is due to many reasons. New competition has sprung up within the industry, the need for the company to be able to engineer and manufacture newer wireless technology that has replaced the hard-wired market and unexpected delays in our production flow due to the implementation of new computer software.
	●	Cost of goods sold saw a decrease from 51.99% of sales in the prior year, to 48.71% in the current quarter, which is within Management’s goal to keep labor and other manufacturing expenses within the range of 45 to 50%. The decreased cost of goods sold percentage is a reflection of inventory levels evening out from continued declining sales. Management has also postponed shipments from vendors in order to not be over inflated with raw material inventory.
	●	Operating expenses have decreased when comparing the current year quarter to the same quarter for the prior year, but the percentage in relation to net sales increased slightly to 29.49% for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 as compared to 26.93% for the corresponding quarter last year. The Company has been able to keep the operating expenses at less than 30% of net sales for many years now; however, the effects of paying for training of the new computer software and currently paying maintenance and support fees on two software platforms has added to these expenses.

 

 

	●	Income from operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 was at $490,000, which is a 12.81% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year, which had income from operations of $562,000.
	●	Other income and expenses showed a $248,000 gain for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 as compared to a $242,000 gain for the quarter ended July 31, 2016. The slight increase is primarily due to increased dividend and interest income, offset by losses on the sale of investments.
	●	Provision for income taxes showed a decrease of $17,000, down from $237,000 in the quarter ended July 31, 2016 to $220,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2017.
	●	In turn, net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 was $518,000, an 8.64% decrease from the corresponding quarter last year, which showed net income of $567,000.
	●	Earnings per share for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 were $0.10 per common share and $0.11 per common share for the quarter ended July 31, 2016.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Operating

 

	●	Net cash increased $542,000 during the quarter ended July 31, 2017 as compared to an increase of $714,000 during the corresponding quarter last year.
	●	Accounts receivable decreased $257,000 for the quarter ending July 31, 2017 compared with a $125,000 decrease for the same quarter last year. The decrease in accounts receivable is directly attributable to the decrease in sales as a minimal amount of accounts over 90 days were found to be uncollectible.
	●	Inventories increased $62,000 during the current quarter as compared to a $136,000 decrease last year. This is primarily due to continued raw material price increases and increased labor and manufacturing costs.
	●	At the quarter ended July 31, 2017 there was a $63,000 decrease in prepaid expenses and at July 31, 2016, there was a $28,000 increase. The current decrease is a result of having raw materials that were previously prepaid for arrive on our dock during the current quarter.
	●	Income tax overpayment for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 decreased $208,000, while there was a $255,000 increase towards income tax payable for the quarter ending July 31, 2016. The current decrease in income tax overpayment is a result of having lower sales than predicted.
	●	Accounts payable shows an increase of $112,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 compared to an increase of $47,000 for the same quarter the year before, primarily due to timing issues. Management strives to pay all payables within terms, unless there is a problem with the merchandise.
	●	Accrued expenses decreased $163,000 for the current quarter as compared to a $105,000 decrease for the quarter ended July 31, 2016.

 

Investing

 

●

As for our investment activities, the Company spent $210,000 on the purchase of a building during the current fiscal quarter. In comparison with the corresponding quarter last year, there were purchases of property and equipment in the amount of approximately $59,000.

 

 

●

Additionally, the Company continues to purchase marketable securities, which include municipal bonds and quality stocks. Cash spent on purchases of marketable securities for the quarter ended July 31, 2017 was $224,000 compared to $257,000 spent during the quarter ended July 31, 2016. 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.

 

Financing

 

●

Furthermore, the Company continues to purchase back common stock when the opportunity arises. For the quarter ended July 31, 2017, the Company purchased $3,000 worth of treasury stock, along with the $1,000 spent in the same period the prior year.

 

 

The following is a list of ratios to help analyze George Risk Industries’ performance:

 

		Qtr ended				Qtr ended
		July 31, 2017				July 31, 2016
Working capital        (current assets – current liabilities)		$	36,500,000			$	34,774,000
Current ratio        (current assets / current liabilities)			21.955				19.237
Quick ratio        ((cash + investments + AR) / current liabilities)			20.496				17.713

 

New Product Development

 

The Company and its’ engineering department perpetually work to develop enhancements to current 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 various stages of the development process include:

 

	●	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 has been submitted 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 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 ETL. testing. This will allow the raceway line to be ETL Listed for fire rating and high voltage. A new mold design for the cover of our 29-Series terminal switch is also being worked on.
	●	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 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 version of our 200-36 overhead door switch line up is nearing completion with prototypes currently being die cast. 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.

 

Other Information

 

In addition to researching 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 of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize so-called right-of-use assets and liabilities for most leases having lease terms of 12 months or more. This update is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019 and the interim periods starting thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

This disclosure does not apply.

 

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 July 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer (also working as our chief financial officer) 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 continue to operate with a limited number of accounting and financial personnel. The controller that was hired in 2014 recently was compelled to end her employment at GRI due to medical reasons, so management is on the search to replace her with qualified candidate. Once the controller is hired, 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. Without the current employment of a controller, we believe this control deficiency represents material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

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.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
