Item 1 Business
       
(a) Business Development

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  computer
keyboards, push button switches, and burglar alarm components and
systems.

GRI Telemark Corporation (Telemark), a majority owned subsidiary,
was  incorporated  in October 1983 for the purpose  of  marketing
security  alarm  products. As of April  13,  1993,  Telemark  was
merged into GRI and presently operates as a division of GRI.

Products, Market, and Distribution

The  company designs, manufactures, and sells computer keyboards,
push-button  switches, and burglar alarm components and  systems.
The  security  burglar alarm products comprise  approximately  89
percent  of  net  revenues and are sold through distributors  and
private board customers.

The  security segment has approximately 600 customers. One of the
distributors  accounts  for approximately  41.9  percent  of  the
company's sales of these products. Loss of this distributor would
be  significant  to  the  company.  However,  this  customer  has
purchased  from  the company for many years and  is  expected  to
continue.

The  keyboard  segment has approximately 300 customers.  Keyboard
products  are sold to original equipment manufacturers  to  their
specifications and to distributors of off-the-shelf keyboards  of
proprietary design.

Competition

The  company has intense competition in the keyboard and  burglar
alarm lines.

The  burglar alarm segment has five or six major competitors. The
company  competes  well based on price, product design,  quality,
and prompt delivery.

The competitors in the keyboard segment are larger companies with
automated production facilities. GRI has emphasized small  custom
order sales that many of its competitors decline or discourage.

Raw Materials

Sources for the company's raw materials have been limited in  the
past.  The  company has been developing other sources  of  supply
including offshore vendors.

Research and Development

The  company performs research and development for its  customers
from  time  to  time.  Costs  in  connection  with  such  product
development have been borne by the customers.

Employees

GRI has approximately 230 employees.


Item 2 Properties
       
The company's plant and offices are located in Kimball, Nebraska.
The  facilities are owned by the company except for approximately
15,000  square feet rented on a month-to-month basis. The company
leases  the building for $1,335 per month with Delores  Spradlin,
sister  of  Ken  R. Risk, who is an officer and director  of  the
company.

As  of  October  1,  1996,  the company also  began  operating  a
satellite  plant  in  Gering,  NE. This  expansion  was  done  in
coordination with Twin Cities Development and the company  leases
approximately   3,640  square  feet  from  Agroma  International.
Currently there are 20 employees at the Gering site.

No  dividends were paid during fiscal years ending April 30, 1996
and 1997.

The  number of holders of record of the company's Class A  Common
Stock as of April 30, 1997, was approximately 2000.


Item 6 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
       Condition and Results of Operations
       
GRI  completed the fiscal year ending April 30, 1997, with a  net
profit  of 14.9 percent of sales. Sales were at $11,059,000,  up
14.4 percent over the previous year.

The  company  expects a 5 percent increase in net sales  for  the
fiscal year ending April 30, 1997. This increase will be achieved
by  the  volume  increase with the present customers,  which  has
already been started.

The material and labor increased from 42 percent to 45 percent in
1997.  The  increase  is  due to the increased  labor  costs  and
material costs. The company is expected to retain a gross  profit
margin of 45 to 50 percent for the coming year.

GRI will continue upgrading the equipment and increase automation
for the plant.

The  company  is still developing new switches for  the  security
segment.  The new switches are expected to be improved in  design
and  technology.  The  expansion of  new  products  will  enhance
applications  in  the  areas of hydraulics,  automotive,  machine
tools, material handling and others.

The  company  is continuing to search for a business  that  would
complement  the existing business. This would require no  outside
financing.  The  intent  is to utilize the  equipment,  marketing
techniques  and  established  customers  to  increase  sales  and
profits.

Liquidity  has  improved  each  year  and  the  ratio  of   cash,
securities  and  accounts receivables to current obligations  was
9.0 and 8.1 for the fiscal years ending April 30, 1997, and April
30, 1996, respectively. The company has marketable securities  of
$3,430,000 as compared to last year with $2,155,000. There was an
unrealized  loss  of  $90,000 on securities  as  compared  to  an
unrealized  loss of $35,000 on marketable securities  during  the
previous year.

There  are  no known seasonal trends with any of GR'Is  products,
since  they  sell  to  distributors and  OEM  manufacturers.  The
products are tied to the housing industry and will fluctuate with
building trends.

                  Notes to Financial Statements


1.  Nature  of  Business and Summary of Significant  Accounting
Policies
   
   Nature  of  Business-The company is engaged in the  design,
   manufacture, and marketing of computer keyboards, push-
   button switches, and security alarm components.

   At April 30, 1993, the financial statements of the company,
   George  Risk Industries, Inc. (GRI), and its majority-owned
   subsidiaries, GRI Telemark Corp. (Telemark), and  R&D  Labs
   were  consolidated. Effective April 30, 1993,  the  company
   acquired  the  entire  minority  interest  in  Telemark  by
   issuing  22,160  shares of its Class  A  common  stock  and
   merged Telemark into GRI.
   
   Cash   and  Cash  Equivalents - The  company  considers  all
   investments  purchased with a maturity of three  months  or
   less to be cash equivalents.
   
   Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
   market.  Cost  is determined using the average cost-pricing
   method.  The  company  uses standard  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:

</TABLE>


Depreciation expense of $109,000 and $93,000 has been provided as
of April 30, 1997 and 1996, 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.
   
   Income Taxes - The company has adopted the provisions of  the
   SFAS  No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No.  109
   requires  use of the liability 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.

   The  flow-through method of accounting for tax credits  has
   been adopted by the company. Such credits are reflected  as
   a  reduction of the provision for income taxes in the  year
   in which they become available.
   
   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. Shares issuable  upon
   the  conversion  of preferred stock are excluded  from  the
   calculations since their effect is insignificant.
   
   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.
   
2. Inventories

3. Marketable Securities
   
   Marketable equity securities are recorded at the  lower  of
   cost  or  market  and  are classified as available-for-sale
   securities.  The  cost  of marketable  securities  sold  is
   determined  on the average cost method with realized  gains
   or  losses  being reflected in the statement of  operations
   and  any  unrealized gains and losses being reported  as  a
   separate  component of stockholders' equity until realized.
   Dividend and interest income are accrued as earned.
   
   Marketable  equity  securities  and  unrealized  gains  and
   losses consist of the following as of April 30, 1997:
