NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2015
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 com-
plete 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, 2014 annual report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal re-
curring 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.
Note 2 Marketable Securities
The Company has investments in publicly traded equity securities, cor-
porate bonds, state and municipal debt securities, real estate investment
trusts, and money markets funds. The investments in securities are classi-
fied as available-for-sale securities, and are reported at fair value.
Available-for-sale investments in debt securities mature between February
2015 and November 2048. The Company uses the average cost method to deter-
mine the cost of securities sold and the amount reclassified out of accum-
ulated other comprehensive income into earnings. Unrealized gains and losses
are excluded from earnings and reported separately as a component of stock-
holders' equity. Dividend and interest income are reported as earned.
As of January 31, 2015, investments available-for-sale consisted of the
following:

Municipal bonds $ 6,490,000 $ 142,000 $ (97,000) $ 6,535,000

------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
Total $22,837,000 $ 2,171,000 $ (452,000) $24,556,000
In accordance with US GAAP, 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
record any impairment losses for the quarter ended January 31, 2015, but it
did record impairment losses of $8,000 for the nine months ended Janaury 31,
2015. Likewise, as for the corresponding period last year, management did
not recorded any impairment losses for the quarter ended Janaury 31, 2014,
but did record impairment losses of $18,000 for the nine months ended January
31, 2014.
The following table shows the investments with unrealized losses that
are not deemed to be "other-than-temporarily impaired", aggregated by invest-
ment category and length of time that individual securities have been
in a continuous unrealized loss position, at January 31, 2015.

Municipal Bonds
---------------
The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in municipal bonds were
caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these invest-
ments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than
the amortized cost of the investment. Because the Company has the ability to
hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity,
the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily
impaired at January 31, 2015.
Corporate Bonds
---------------
The Company's unrealized loss on investments in corporate bonds relates to
one bond. The contractual term of this investment does not permit the issuer
to settle the security at a price less than the amortized cost of the invest-
ment. Because the Company has the ability to hold this investment until a
recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider
this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at January 31, 2015.
Marketable Equity Securities
----------------------------
The Company's investments in marketable equity securities 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 onto these investments for an
extended period, the company does not consider these investments to be other-
than-temporarily impaired at January 31, 2015.
Note 3 Inventories
At January 31, 2015, inventories 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 $3,000 were paid during the quarter ending
January 31, 2015 and $2,000 was paid during the corresponding quarter the
prior fiscal year. Likewise, the Company paid matching contributions of
approximately $8,000 during the nine-month period ending January 31, 2015
and $7,000 during the nine-month period ending January 31, 2014. There were
no discretionary contributions paid during either the quarters or nine-month
periods ending January 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 in-
herent 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 measurements) and the lowest priority to un-
observable 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 in-
struments traded in active markets.
Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar in-
struments in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar instruments in markets that are not active,
and model-based valuation techniques for which all sig-
nificant 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.
Marketable Securities
---------------------
As of January 31, 2015, our investments consisted of money markets, publicly
traded equity securities as well as certain state and municipal debt
securities. Our marketable securities are valued using third-party broker
statements. The value of the majority 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 and corporate bonds,
the inputs are recorded at Level 2.
Fair Value Hierarchy
--------------------
The following tables set forth our assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis and a non-recurring basis by level within the fair
value hierarchy. As required by US GAAP, assets and liabilities are
classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.

Executive Summary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Company's performance remains steady through the three quarters,
showing strong sales and investment returns. Challenges in the coming months
continue to include the burden of regulatory requirements of the Affordable
Care Act, and the increase in the minimum wage requirements, as well as
selection and implementation of new hardware and software systems which will
enhance productivity and communication throughout the organization.
Results of Operations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Gross profit showed an 11.67% increase year-to-date over the same
period in the prior year due to strong sales in many of our product
lines and the Company's ongoing commitment to outstanding customer
service.
* Cost of goods sold remained steady throughout the nine months ended
January 31, 2015 at 45.61% of sales, compared to 46.60% in the prior
year, keeping well within the target of less than 50%.
* Operating expenses were up approximately $210,000 for the nine month
period ended January 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period
last year. These costs are primarily due to new product development
and increased commissions directly related to the increase in sales.
The Company has been able to keep the operating expenses at less than
30% of net sales over the last several years; however, the effects of
the Affordable Care Act and the State of Nebraska regulatory increase
in the minimum wage continue to provide concerns regarding the ability
to maintain this pattern. Only one month in the current quarter
(January 2015) has seen the impact of the above concerns. It is hard
to say how these added costs will impact the performance of the
Company.
* Income from operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 was
at $2,644,000, a 12.46% increase from the corresponding period last
year, which had income from operations of $2,351,000.
* Other income and expenses increased, when comparing the current nine
month period to the prior year, with an increase of $75,000 in the
current year. The majority of activity in these accounts consists of
investment interest, dividends, and gain or loss on sale of invest-
ments.
* Overall net income for the nine month period ended January 31, 2015
was up $238,000, or 10.72%, from the same period in the prior year.
* Earnings per share for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 were
$0.49 per common share and $0.44 per common share for the same period
in the prior year.
Liquidity and capital resources
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Operating
---------
* Net cash decreased $604,000 during the nine months ended January 31,
2015 as compared to an increase of $315,000 during the corresponding
period last year.
* Accounts receivable decreased $110,000 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2015 compared with a $224,000 decrease for the same period
last year. Approximately $1,358 of accounts over 90 days have a
possibility of being uncollectible.
* Inventories increased during the current and prior nine month periods
showing an increase of $161,000 in the current period compared to a
$67,000 increase in the prior period. These increases are
attributable to the increasing sales trend over the same periods and
some vendors'price increases.
* Prepaid expenses saw a $9,000 decrease for the current nine months,
primarily due to a large receipt of goods that had been prepaid upon
order. Conversely, the prior nine months showed a $160,000 increase
in prepaid expenses.
* Income tax overpayment for the nine months ended January 31, 2015, in-
creased $506,000, while the overpayment decreased $72,000 for the same
period the prior year.
* Accounts payable shows increases for both nine month periods at
$112,000 and $36,000, respectively. The company strives to pay all
invoices within terms, and the variance in increases is primarily due
to the timing of receipt of products and payment of invoices.
* Accrued expenses decreased $46,000 for the current nine month period
as compared to a $53,000 decrease for the nine month period ended
January 31, 2014.
Investing
---------
* As for our investment activities, the Company spent approximately
$165,000 on acquisitions of property and equipment for the current
nine month period, in comparison with the corresponding nine months
last year, where there was activity of $47,000.
* Additionally, the Company continues to purchase marketable securities,
which include municipal bonds and quality stocks. During the nine
month period ended January 31, 2015 there was quite a bit of buy/sell
activity in the investment accounts. Net cash spent on purchases of
marketable securities for the nine month period ended January 31, 2015
was $847,000 compared to $415,000 spent in the prior nine month period.
We continue to use "money manager" accounts for most stock trans-
actions. 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.
* Furthermore, the Company continues to purchase back common stock when
the opportunity arises. For the nine month period ended January 31,
2015, the Company purchased $4,000 worth of treasury stock, as com-
pared to $29,000 in the same nine months period the prior year.
Financing
---------
* Cash flows from financing activities decreased by $1,463,000 for the
nine months ending January 31, 2015. That figure consists of the pay-
ment of dividends during the second quarter. The company declared a
dividend of $0.32 per share of common stock on September 30, 2014 and
these dividends were paid by October 31, 2014. As for the prior year
numbers, net cash used in financing activities was $1,373,000 for the
nine months ending January 31, 2014. A dividend of $0.30 per common
share was declared and paid during the second fiscal quarter last
year.

New Product Development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Company and its' engineering department continue to develop enhance-
ments to product lines, develop new products which complement existing prod-
ucts, and look for products that are well suited to our distribution network
and manufacturing capabilities. Items currently in the development process
include:
* Wireless contact switches, pool alarms and environmental sensors are
in development
* Slim-line face plate for pool alarms that will also allow homeowner to
change the plate to match their decor
* Triple biased High Security Switch
* Redesign of our Current Controller that will allow us to manufacture
a 15-amp version that would automatically turn on a whole room of
lights and a 220-volt version for international markets
* Redesign for the cover of the 29-Series terminal switch
* New water sensor that will monitor water levels in livestock tanks and
sump pumps
* Fuel level monitor that will tie into a security system to let the
owner know if tanks or trucks are tampered with since fuel theft is a
major problem.
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 tech-
niques and established customers to 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, 2016 and the interim periods within that year. The Com-
pany is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company's financial
statements.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Information required by Item 307
Our Chief Executive Officer (also working as our Chief Financial Officer),
after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and
procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)
Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures re-
quired by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.
(b) Information required by Item 308
This disclosure is not yet required.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:
-------------------------------------------------
As of theend of the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
(who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer), an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange
Act"). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
time periods specified in the Exchange Act and SEC's rules, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required dis-
closures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system
of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possiblity of human
error and the circumvention of overriding of the controls and procedures.
Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only pro-
vide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Our Chief
Executive Officer concluded that, as of January 31, 2015, our disclosure con-
trols and procedures were not effective.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting:
------------------------------------------------------
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company. Due to
limited resources, Management conducted an evaluation of internal controls
based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission ("COSO"). The results of this evaluation determined that our
internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of January 31,
2015, due to a material weakness. A material weakness in internal control
over financial reporting is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on
a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by
those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.
Management's assessment identified the following material weakness in
internal control over financial reporting:
* The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired
level of separation of internal controls and financial reporting,
particularly as it relates to financial reporting and deferred taxes.
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. Until such time as the Company is able to hire a Con-
troller, we do not believe we meet the full requirement for separation
for financial reporting purposes.
As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial re-
porting described above, the Company's management has concluded that, as of
January 31, 2015, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was
not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Frame-
work issued by the COSO.
To date, the Company has hired a person to fill the controller position, but
more training will be required to fulfill diclosure control and procedure
responsibilites. We will continue to follow the standards for the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for internal control over
financial reporting to include procedures that:
* Pertain to the maintenance of records in reasonable detail accurately
that fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's
assets;
* Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that re-
ceipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with author-
izations of management and the Board of Directors; and
* Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Due to the passing of the CEO during the fiscal year 2013, our internal con-
trol structure has changed such that there is no separation of duties for
financial reporting and deferred taxes, as discussed above.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Corpor-
ation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management?s report was not subject to attestation by
the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section
404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, that permits the Cor-
poration to provide only the management?s report in this quarterly report.
