                             Part I


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, burglar  alarm  components and
systems, pool alarms, and hydro sensors.

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 marketing division of
GRI.

Products, Market, and Distribution

The  company designs, manufactures, and sells computer keyboards,
push-button  switches, burglar alarm components and systems, pool
alarms, and hydro sensors. 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 650 customers. One of the
distributors  accounts  for  approximately  36  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. Costs  associated
with the development of new products are expensed as incurred.

Employees

GRI has approximately 290 employees.


Item 2 Properties

The manufacturing and office facilities are owned by the company.
The manufacturing facilities are being expanded by 10,000  square
feet.  Construction on this expansion is expected to be  complete
by September 1999. Additionally, the company leases 15,000 square
feet 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 33 employees at the Gering site.


Item 3 Legal Proceedings

The company is a  defendant in a  patent infringement action. The
likelihood of an unfavorable outcome  or an estimate of potential
loss is  not  determinable.  The  company  believes  the  suit is
without merit and intends to vigorously defend its' position.


Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Not applicable.

                             Part II


Item 5 Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related
       Stockholders' Matter

Principal Market

The  company's Class A Common Stock is currently quoted over  the
counter in the NQB "Pink Sheets" by five market makers.

No  dividends were paid during fiscal years ending April 30, 1998
and 1999.

The  number of holders of record of the company's Class A  Common
Stock as of April 30, 1999, was approximately 1500.


Item 6 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
       Condition and Results of Operations

GRI  completed the fiscal year ending April 30, 1999, with a  net
profit  of 16.6 percent of sales.  Net sales were at $13,078,000,
up 13.6 percent over the previous year.

The company expects sales to continue to grow for the fiscal year
ending  April 30, 2000.  The  continued growth should be achieved
by  volume  increase  with  present  customers and sales to added
customers.

The  material and  labor stayed very consistent between this year
and last year.  At fiscal year  end 1998  the material and  labor
percentage was at 45.2% of gross sales while the same  percentage
for fiscal year end 1999 was  at  44.9%  The company continues to
buy smart  and  is  always  looking  for quality materials at the
best  possible price. And as far as labor goes, the company tries
to hire only the  amount  of production workers that they need to
finish products and they also  work very hard at keeping overtime
expense down.  With these good practices embedded throughout, the
company is  expected to continue to achieve a gross profit margin
of 45 to 50 percent for the coming year.

Liquidity has improved each year and the ratio of cash, securities
and  accounts receivables to current obligations was 19.1 and 11.5
for the  fiscal years  ending  April 30, 1999, and April 30, 1998,
respectively.  The company has marketable securities of $4,464,000
as compared to last year with $4,463,000.  There was an unrealized
gain  of  $118,000 on securities as compared to an unrealized loss
of $120,000 on marketable securities during the previous year.

New product development at GRI has become very aggressive in order
to  stay  competitive  in  the industry and has continued business
growth.  Several  new  products  that are currently in development
include a door channel magnet,  a hold-up switch,  a relay module,
a  high security  switch,  and  multi-functional  thermostat.  The
company  plans  to  introduce  these products at the International
Security Conference in New York in September, 1999.

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.

The  company  is  building  a  10,000 square foot extension to its'
manufacturing facility. It is expected to be completed in September,
1999.  This  new  building  will house the tool and die and molding
departments  and  will also allow for additional stockroom storage.
This additional stockroom  storage will enable the company to stock
more  finished  goods  for  the  increasing demands for the company
products.

The company has addressed and evaluated the year 2000 issue. It has
identified  and  replaced  hardware and software systems that could
generate incorrect data or cause a system to fail.  During the year
ended April 30, 1999, $57,000 was spent on these replaced systems.

The year 2000 issue may affect the systems of suppliers and vendors
of the company. While the company is addressing the issue, there is
no  assurance that any potential year 2000 noncompliance within the
systems of  these  other companies will not have a material adverse
effect on the company.

There   are  no  known seasonal trends with any of GRI's  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, security alarm  components,  pool  alarms
   and hydro sensors.

   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. Telemark continues to operate  as
   a marketing division of 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 $166,000  and  $124,000  has  been
   provided as of April 30, 1999 and 1998, 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
