ITEM 1.             BUSINESS

Corporate Background and Our Business

The Graystone Company, Inc. (“Graystone”, “we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was originally incorporated in the State of New York on May 27, 2010 under the name of Argentum Capital, Inc.   Graystone was reincorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2011 and subsequently changed our name to The Graystone Company, Inc on January 14, 2011.  Graystone is domiciled in the state of Delaware, and its corporate headquarters are located in Lima, Peru and maintains it US executive office in Las Vegas, Nevada for mailing purposes. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Graystone Company, Inc. is a holding company whose primary operating activities involve to acquire and develop mining properties amenable to low cost production.  In January 2012, the Company launched a new division that sells gold, silver and other precious metals to retail buyers.  The Company also operates other divisions that include a marketing division, real estate division, and consulting division.  Information about the Company, including a link to our most recent financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), can be viewed on our website at www.graystone1.com.

Natural Resources Division. This division began operating in January 2011 and operates through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Graystone Mining, Inc., a Nevada Company.   This Division is engaged in the business of acquiring gold, silver, precious metal and gems and other mineral properties with proven and/or probable reserves.  The Company has currently begun mining operations in Peru.  

Graystone Mining focuses on acquiring properties that require a lower capital investment to begin mining operations. This approach may reduce the size of the deposits that the Company can acquire.  However, by generating revenue from smaller mining ventures, the Company can build a solid foundation and the needed infrastructure  to undertake larger and more costly ventures, such as hard rock projects. Thereby the Company is focusing initially on alluvial mining (surface mining) projects, the Company can begin generating a positive cash flow for a smaller capital investment.  As such, the Company does not engage in general exploration activities.  Exploration involves the prospecting, sampling, mapping, drilling and other work involved in searching for ore on properties.   Exploration is time consuming and costly as it requires an evaluation of the land's geology, analyst of the geochemistry of soil sediment and water, and drilling of numerous test holes and testing these for the presence of minerals.  The Company instead focuses on acquiring or entering into joint ventures with entities that have already found, through exploration, proven or probable mineral ore reserves.  This allows the Company to focus its attention on processing mineral resources instead of having to also have exploration activities to locate new sites that may have mineral ore deposits.  
 
The Company currently owns 1,900 hectares.  One hectares equals 2.47 acres.  The Company expects to acquire 10,000 hectares by the end of 2012.   The Company anticipates that its cost of acquiring properties with proven or probable reserves will cost between 20% and 25% of the total amount that is extracted from these properties.  Additionally, the acquisition cost of the machinery needed to perform the extraction is expected to be between $50,000 and $500,000.  The staffing costs related to the extraction of the mineral ore will be between 25% and 30% of the total amount that is extracted from these sites.  Thereby, the Company anticipates the cost of property and equipment acquisition and the labor and mining operations related to extracting gold on its properties to be approximately 55% of the gross value of the gold extracted from its properties.  The company currently has eight (8) employees in Peru.
 
 
During 2011, the Company acquired Grupo Minero Inca S.A.C., a Peruvian Company (“GMI”). GMI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  GMI provides the Company a local Peruvian entity.  Acting through GMI, the Company can acquire concessions in its own name and directly hire employees and staff in Peru instead of using third parties for these purposes.  The Company coordinates all of its activities in Peru through GMI. The corporate structure of this division is as follows:
 
 
Additionally, GMI provides the gold extraction services and the overall management for the Companies properties. GMI will be responsible for the day to day operations of the mining sites while Graystone will be responsible for financing the acquisition of the mining properties, the equipment necessary to extract the ore and building the camps for the workers.

Marketing Division.  This division operates under d/b/a paypercallexchange.com. This division began operating in July 2010.  The division serves as an advertising and customer acquisition firm for 3rd party entities.  The Company places generic interactive advertisements, through our proprietary process and technologies, in numerous mediums, e.g. print, web, skype and mobile. These generic advertisements are placed for different services and products, e.g. cable & satellite services, mortgage refinancing, credit repair, travel agent services, auto insurance, substance abuse rehabilitation, 24-hour locksmith, website development, cosmetic surgery, timeshares, cruises and legal services.  Each of these advertisements have a unique phone number for individuals interested in the products or services to call for more information.  When an individual calls that specific phone number, the call is automatically forward to one of our clients, which we refer to as a lead.  The software tracks the time and date of the phone call, the duration of the phone call, the caller id, city and state of the caller, repeat calls from the same number, the number the call was transferred to and the advertisement that generated the call.  The Company charges its clients for each call that is transferred to them in which the duration is over an agreed upon length (usually 15 seconds).
 
Our  proprietary process and software includes the knowledge of how to generate the maximum number of calls at the lowest cost possible, the type of advertisements placed, the days and hours of such advertisement placement, the medium such advertisements should be placed, the ability to track the advertisement's efficiency and to track the results of each advertisement placed.   Through the use of these proprietary methods, the company provides lead sources to our clients at competitive pricing.  The Company generated 18,234 leads/calls during the fiscal year of 2011.
 
The Company expects to wind this division down during the fiscal year 2012.  By winding down the division the Company can redeploy its assets to its main business of mining.
 
Consulting Division.  This division operates under d/b/a Graystone Ventures.  Graystone Ventures began operating in November 2010.  This division is a strategic, financial and operational consulting entity, which allows clients to outsource aspects of their business.  This division focuses primarily on early staged companies and public companies in the nano-cap an micro-cap but also assists growth and mature companies as well.  This division provides services in the areas of marketing, sales and operations.  We strive to create and manage combined cost-reduction/expansion strategies for our clients.   The Company refers to nano-cap companies as those with a market capitalization if under $10 Million and micro-cap companies as those with a market capitalization if under $100 Million.  The Company believes that these entities cannot afford internal staff to handle the services that we provide and therefore are looking for cost effective alternatives.

Operational Consulting:   We assist companies in implementing strategies to achieve their business and corporate objectives through business and management consulting services, organizational transformation, and business communications.  Clients can outsource certain aspects of their business to us such as review of staffing needs, plans for staff reduction or recruitment, coordinating with outside counsel, accountants (or auditors if the company is publicly traded) and other professionals.  These activities may include assisting clients in creating and following budgets, expansion plans, acquisition plans, staff reduction plans, staff retention efforts, and coordinating communication with its clients, investors, and/or shareholders.   This allows the client's management to focus on its business and the implementation of its business plan.
 

 
Marketing/Sales Consulting:  We assist companies in the development and implementation of marketing plans and budgets to increase awareness of its brands and increase sales while reducing the expense associated with these activities.  Many companies cannot afford to hire a marketing coordinator; as such we serve as an outsourced option whereby we coordinate advertising buying, creative design, and expansion of its marketing plan into areas such as TV and radio advertising.  Additionally, if our clients marketing plan have a pay per call component we can service these needs through our marketing division, paypercallexchange.com.

The Company expects to wind this division down during the fiscal year 2012.  By winding down the division the Company can redeploy its assets to its main business of mining.
 
Real Estate Division.  This division began operations in January 2011 and acquired its initial property on March 30, 2011.  On March 30, 2011, the Company retained the services of a consultant to manage its properties and locate additional properties in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area.  In February 2012, the Company's Board of Directors decided to cease operating this division and redeploy the resources from this division to its natural resources division.  The Company will maintain to rent out the property it owns until it can be sold.

Going Concern
 
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated modest revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploration of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. The Company has had very little operating history to date. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

We have experienced recurring net losses from operations which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of ($1,012,224) as of December 31, 2011. We had net losses of ($1,057,750) for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to a profit of $45,526 for the year ended December 31, 2010 . These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate profits and are unable to continue to obtain financing to meet our working capital requirements, we may have to curtail our business sharply or cease operations altogether. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis to retain our current financing, to obtain additional financing, and, ultimately, to attain profitability. Should any of these events not occur, we will be adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.
 
As of December 31, 2011 the accumulated deficit attributable to stock issuances valued according to GAAP totals $2,118,132 These totals are non-cash expenses which are included in the accumulated.   These cash expenditures are also included in the accumulated deficit.
 
The ongoing execution of our business plan is expected to result in operating losses over the next twelve months. Management believes it will need to raise capital through stock issuances in order to have enough cash to maintain its operations for the next twelve months. There are no assurances that we will be successful in achieving our goals of obtaining cash through stock issuances or increasing revenues and reaching profitability.
 
In view of these conditions, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements, and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event we cannot continue as a going concern.

Exploration Plan and Activities.

The Company has completed 2 separate bulk sampling projects on the Gorilla Project.  The first was lasted for 23 days and the second lasted 2 days.  The bulk sampling was conducted to provide internal numbers to management to determine the feasibility of continuing with the project.  In addition to the bulk sampling activities we carried out the following activities:

·  
Implemented a community relations program to inform local communities of the project and what potential opportunities that may exist for community involvement in the implementation phases of the development program;
·  
Acquired equipment for further evaluation and development of resources;

Penny Stock Rules
 
Due to the price of our common stock, as well as the fact that we are not listed on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange, our stock is characterized as a “penny stock” under applicable securities regulations. Our stock therefore is subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer proposing to effect a transaction in a penny stock must furnish his customer a document containing information prescribed by the SEC and obtain from the customer an executed acknowledgment of receipt of that document. The broker or dealer must also provide the customer with pricing information regarding the security prior to the transaction and with the written confirmation of the transaction. The broker or dealer must also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior to consummating the transaction and with the written confirmation of the trade. The broker or dealer must also send an account statement to each customer for which he has executed a transaction in a penny stock each month in which such security is held for the customer’s account. The existence of these rules may have an effect on the price of our stock, and the willingness of certain brokers to effect transactions in our stock.

Going Concern
 
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated modest revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploration of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. The Company has had very little operating history to date. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Overview
 
During our current fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we generated sales of $130,718 and incurred a net loss of $2,163,126.  We have received no substantial revenue ($4,989) from the production of gold or other metals since our inception, and historically relied on our other divisions and equity and debt financings to finance our ongoing operations. Our operations generated a net loss of $2,118,132 from inception (March 27, 2010) through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. In order to fund operations in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, we relied on proceeds received under the private placement sale in secured convertible debentures aggregating $42,500 from Asher Enterprises, and proceeds received from notes payable of $94,448 from our shareholders.
 
Results of Operations
 
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company generated the following revenue:

  $ 1,685,608     $ 6,409

Research and Development
    208,009       -  
      2,219,442       6,409  
 
The Company's research and development expenses are related to the Company's mining activities in Peru and include exploration on the Company's mining properties. Of the Company's total expenses of $2,210,442 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, $1,269343 was associated to impairment loss on goodwill associated with the acquisition of GMI, $796,035 for services rendered where stock was issued in lieu of cash, and $55,472 in discounts for notes payable issued.  As a result the Company, had a net cash loss of $50,338 compared to a new cash profit of $11,697 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 (please refer to the Financial Statements beginning on F-1 and the associated notes).
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The following is a summary of our balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011:

   
Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
             
Cash
  $ 793     $ 5,552  
Accounts receivable
    17,120       11,644  
Shareholders' subscription receivable
    350,000       -  
                 
Stockholders' Equity
    332,333       54,351  
 
In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our growth requirements for the next twelve months. The Company expects that its current revenue will allow us to satisfy our current operations and our reporting requirement for the next twelve months.   However, if our revenue decreases we may not able to support our current operations and reporting obligations without obtaining additional funds.  We believe our currently available capital resources will allows us to begin operations within our natural resource division and maintain its operation over the course of the next 12 months; however, our other expansion plans would be put on hold until we could raise sufficient capital.  The Company expects that it needs to raise between $200,000 and $500,000 to acquire the necessary equipment to begin full mining operations in Peru. We cannot guaranty that we will be able to raise additional funds. Moreover, in the event that we can raise additional funds, we cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms.
 
Going Concern
 
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
 
Accounting and Audit Plan
 
We expect are audit fees to be approximately $10,000 for the 10-K and $2,500 - $5,000 to review our 10-Q.  In the next twelve months, we anticipate spending approximately $30,000 to pay for our accounting and audit requirements.
 
Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our historical financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
 
 
ITEM 7A.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our exposure to market risks includes, but is not limited to, the following risks: changes in interest rates and equity price risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We had $42,500 of indebtedness under our convertible promissory note with Asher Enterprises. The annual interest rates on convertible promissory note are 8.0%.  Additionally, we do not have any investment in debt instruments other than highly liquid cash equivalents. Accordingly, we consider our interest rate risk exposure to be insignificant at this time.
 
Equity Price Risk
 
We have in the past sought and will likely in the future seek to acquire additional funding by sale of common stock and other equity instruments. Movements in the price of our common stock have been volatile in the past and may also be volatile in the future. As a result, there is a risk that we may not be able to sell common stock or other equity at an acceptable price to meet future funding requirements.
 
Commodity Price Risk
 
We currently have only limited production but expect to produce increasing amounts of gold and silver in our fiscal year 2012. As we increase production and sales, changes in the price of gold and other minerals could significantly affect our results of operations and cash flows. We do not presently expect to hedge the sale of any of our anticipated production.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors of
The Graystone Company, Inc.

 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Graystone Company, Inc. and subsidiaries(the Company), as of December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended of 2011. The consolidated financial statements of The Graystone Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 12, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Graystone Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended of 2011 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
We were not engaged to examine management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered huge losses, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Graystone Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and their cash flows for the period from May 27, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s lack of operating history and financial resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if the Company is unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, then the Company may be required to cease or curtail its operation.

Note 1 – Nature of Operations
 
The Graystone Company, Inc. (“Graystone”, “we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was originally incorporated in the State of New York on May 27, 2010 under the name of Argentum Capital, Inc.   Graystone was reincorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2011 and subsequently we changed our name to The Graystone Company, Inc on January 14, 2011.  Graystone is domiciled in the state of Delaware, and its corporate headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
 
The Graystone Company, Inc. is a holding company whose primary operating activities involve acquiring and developing mining properties amenable to low cost production.  In January 2012, the Company launched a new division that sells gold, silver and other precious metals to retail buyers.  The Company also operates other divisions that include a marketing division, real estate division, and consulting division.
 
The Graystone Company, Inc. has two dormant subsidiaries as indicated below,
 
Grupo Minero Inca S.A., - a Peru Corporation with equity interest of 100%
 
Graystone Mining Company – a Nevada Corporation with equity interest of 100%
 
Going Concern
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern.
 
Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
In the coming year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with operations and business developments. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
 
Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds such as shareholder loans and advances to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings or through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse affect upon it and its shareholders.
 
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
 
Accounting Method
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.
 
 Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable.  The Company believes that the recorded values of all of its other financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. The fair value of our long-term debt is determined by using estimated market prices. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:
 
Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
 
Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.
 
Level 3: Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.
 
The fair value of the majority of our cash equivalents was determined based on “Level 1” inputs. The Company does not have any marketable securities in the “Level 2” and “Level 3” category. The Company believes that the recorded values of all our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
 
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. The Company does not have financial assets as an investment carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may

require management judgment. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has assets and liabilities in cash, various receivables, property and equipments, and various payables. Management believes that they are being presented at their fair market value
 
Income Taxes
 
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but have not been reflected in the Company's taxable income.  A valuation allowance has been established to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.  Therefore, the Company provides a valuation allowance to the extent that the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents may at times exceed Federally-insured limits. To minimize this risk, the Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable, if any, is carried at the expected net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts, when determined, will be based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivables. If there were a deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or actual defaults were higher than historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of the amounts due to us could be overstated, which could have a negative impact on operations. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the balances of accounts receivable were $17,120 and $11,644, respectively.
 
Long Term Securities
 
In 2010, the Company acquired 2,500,000 shares from Avarus Inc. for consulting services rendered with a value of $25,000. At the end of 2011, the management realized Avarus Inc. is no longer engaged in active operations, all shares are determined as having zero asset value. Therefore, the management wrote off all shares by having a total loss of 25,000 and recorded the loss on sale of assets under other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Plant, Property and Equipment
 
Plant, property and equipment are carried at cost with depreciation and amortization provided over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.  The balance of plant, property and equipment, net of depreciation was $69,173 and $0 as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Plant, Property and Equipment (Continued)
 
For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system. For financial statements purposes, depreciation is computed under the straight-line method. As of December 31, 2011, depreciation expenses were $887.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are identified.
 
The Company acquired the goodwill in Peru in the amount of $1,269,343, related to the acquisition of Grupo Minero Inca (GMI). Refer to the Note 10 “Business combination” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details.
 
Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment on a quarterly basis in the fourth quarter of each year in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification No. 350 (“ASC 350”), Intangibles–Goodwill and Other, or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. Triggering events for impairment reviews may include adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions, lower projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in market capitalization. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step requires comparing the fair value of the each of our reporting units to its net book value, including goodwill. The Company has one reporting unit. A potential impairment exists if the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its net book value. The second step of the process is only performed if a potential impairment exists, and it involves determining the difference between the fair values of the reporting unit’s net assets other than goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit and if the difference is less than the net book value of goodwill, impairment exists and is recorded.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company evaluated the value of the goodwill. The Company considered this change as a triggering event and performed an interim impairment test of goodwill in accordance with ASC 350 as of December 31, 2011.
 
Based on the results of the first step of the goodwill analysis, it was determined that the Company’s net book value exceeded its estimated fair value as there is only highly limited potential for future revenue generated from the Company.  As a result, the Company performed the second step of the impairment test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. Under step two, the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company and the sum of the fair value of the identified net assets results in the residual value of goodwill. The results of step two of the goodwill analysis indicated that there would be no remaining implied value attributable to goodwill and accordingly, the Company wrote off the $1,269,343 goodwill at the Company and recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $1,269,343 as “Goodwill impairment” under general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.  For further information on goodwill and other intangible assets, see Note 5 “Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details.
 
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Notes Payable
 
Notes payable is classified as current if the maturity date is within 12 months after December 31, 2011, and otherwise it is classified as non-current.
 
On November 29, 2011 the Company received a note in the amount of $42,500 from Asher Enterprises, Inc.  The note bears a simple interest of 8% per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity date on September 5, 2012. The note is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the balances of notes payable including current and non-current were $107,161 and $0 respectively.
 
The remaining notes payable are all related to related parties transactions; see Note 4 “Related Party Transactions” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company has four different divisions. The revenue recognition methods for each division are indicated below.
 
Natural Resources Division - This division began operating in January 2011and operates the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Graystone Mining, Inc., a Nevada Company.   This Division is engaged in the business of acquiring gold, silver, precious metal and gems and other mineral properties with proven and/or probable reserves.  The Company has currently begun mining operations in Peru.  The Company's Natural Resources Division is a mine processing entity whereby we locate and extract mineral deposits for refining. Revenue is recognized when products are shipped or delivered if not shipped.
 
Marketing Division - This division operates under d/b/a paypercallexchange.com. This division began operating in July 2010.  The division serves as an advertising and customer acquisition firm for 3rd party entities.  The Company places generic interactive advertisements through our proprietary process and technologies, in numerous mediums, e.g. print, web, Skype and mobile. Revenue is recognized when the call is generated and transferred to one of the clients.
 
Consulting Division - This division operates under d/b/a Graystone Ventures.  Graystone Ventures began operating in November 2010.  This division is a strategic, financial and operational consulting entity, which allows clients to outsource aspects of their business.  This division focuses primarily on early staged companies and public companies in the nano-cap and micro-cap but also assists growth and mature companies as well.  This division provides services in the areas of marketing, sales and operations. Revenue is recognized when consulting services are provided to clients.
 
Real Estate Division - This division began operations in January 2011 and acquired its initial property on March 30, 2011.  On March 30, 2011, the Company retained the services of a consultant to manage its properties and locate additional properties in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area.  Revenue is recognized when management services are provided to clients.
 
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Equity Warrants
 
The Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in connection with convertible notes. In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with conversions and other options, the proceeds from the notes were allocated based on the relative fair values of the notes without the warrants issued in conjunction with the notes and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The Company records the fair value of the warrants at the time of issuance as additional paid in capital and as a debt discount to the notes.  The Company amortizes this debt discount as interest expense over the life of the note.  Additionally, as a result of issuing the warrants with the convertible notes, a beneficial conversion option is recorded as a debt discount reflecting the incremental conversion option intrinsic value of the conversion option provided to the holders of the notes. Company also amortizes this debt discount as interest expense over the life of the notes.  The intrinsic value of each conversion option was calculated as the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair value of the common stock, multiplied by the number of shares into which the note is convertible.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based payments, including grants of stock options to employees, consultants and non-employees; moreover, the Company issues warrants to the consultants and related parties.  The Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based awards and warrants on the date of grant. The value of the award is principally recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. The Company has estimated the fair value of stock options and warrants as of the date of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely transferable. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of certain assumptions.  Changes in the assumptions used in Black-Scholes model can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value stock options on an annual basis. The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding.
 
The expected term is based on the observed and expected time to exercise and post-vesting cancellations of options by employees.  Upon the adoption of the accounting guidance, the Company continued to use historical volatility in deriving its expected volatility assumption as allowed under GAAP because it believes that future volatility over the expected term of the stock options is not likely to differ materially from the past. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on 5-year U.S Treasury zero-coupon rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the history and expectation of dividend payouts.  The fair values generated by the Black-Scholes model may not be indicative of the actual fair values of the equity awards, as the Company does not consider other factors important to those awards to employees, such as continued employment, periodic vesting requirements and limited transferability.  The amount of stock based compensation expenses is net of an estimated forfeiture rate, which is also based on historical data. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, stock based compensation expense was approximately $11,491 and $0 respectively, which consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options recognized under GAAP issued to the employees.

Litigation and Settlement Costs
 
Legal costs are expensed as incurred. The Company records a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) accrue the best estimate within a range of loss if there is a loss or, when there is no amount within a range that forms a better estimate, the Company will accrue the minimum amount in the range. The Company is not presently involved in any legal proceedings, litigation or other legal actions
 
Research and Development Costs
 
Costs associated with the development of the Company’s products are charged to expense as incurred. $208,009 and $0 were incurred in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Net Profit / (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic loss per share, which excludes anti-dilutive securities, is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for that particular period. In contrast, diluted loss per share considers the potential dilution that could occur from other equity instruments that would increase the total number of outstanding shares of common stock. Such amounts include shares potentially issuable under outstanding options, warrants, convertible notes.  There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share follows:

Recently issued accounting standards
 
 In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”.  The update clarifies the guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether it has granted a concession as well as clarifying the guidance when a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  The guidance clarifies when a Company should record impairment due to concessions or the financial difficulties of the debtor.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2011.  The guidance should be applied retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”.  ASU 2011-03 applies to transactions where the seller transfers financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity.  The amendments in this guidance remove from the assessment of effective control the criteria requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms even in the event of default by the transferee and the collateral maintenance guidance related to that criterion.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2011 and should be applied on a prospective basis.  The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”.  The amendment results in a consistent definition of fair value and ensures the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This amendment changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This amendment will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. Based on current operations, the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), and Presentation of Comprehensive Income”.  ASU 2011-05 amends the presentation of other comprehensive income and the Statement of Consolidated Operations. Under this amendment, entities will be required to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income,  and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of which reporting option is selected, the Company is required to present on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.   The current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity has been eliminated. This amendment will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and full retrospective application is required. The Company does not anticipate that this amendment will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Effecting certain sections covered under ASU 2011-05,  in December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05”.  The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning January 1, 2012 with retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.  The Company’s adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment”.  ASU 2011-08 amends the required annual impairment testing of goodwill by providing an entity an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test under Topic 350-24 and Topic 350-20-35-9 is unnecessary.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the impairment testing under Topic 350-24 by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the results with the carrying amount.  If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then the entity must perform the second step test of measuring the amount of the impairment test under Topic 350-20-35-9.
 
An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the two step goodwill impairment test.  Additionally, the entity has the option to resume with the qualitative testing in any subsequent period.  The amendment will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. Based on current operations, the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”.  The guidance in this update requires the Company to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.  The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.  The Company’s adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 4 – Income Taxes
 
The Company did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses for year 2011.  When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit.  We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
 
The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the years ended December 2011 applicable under FASB ASC 740.  We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheet.   All tax returns for the Company remain open.
 
 The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences for the periods presented are as follows:
 
Income tax provision at the federal statutory rate
    35 %
Effect on operating losses

As of December 31, 2011, the balance of the note was $9,170.92 including late fees accrual.
 
On August 15, 2011, the Company issued 2,375,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock to Joseph Mezey for services rendered.  The price per shares was $.05 for $118,750 in services rendered.
 
On August 15, 2011, the Company issued 2,375,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock to Paul Howarth for services rendered.  The price per shares was $.05 for $118,750 in services rendered.
 
In October 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of GMI.  This was accomplished by acquiring the remaining 37.5% owned by each Mr. Howarth and Mr. Mezey for $1.00.  As a result, the agreement entered into GMI and the Company on March 31, 2011 has been cancelled.
 
On December 31, 2011, the Company issued 2,665,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to European Holdings Group for $350,000.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company still has not received the $350,000 from European Holdings, thus, the total of $350,000 was recorded under shareholder’s subscription receivables under current assets of the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
The Company received various notes from Renard Properties, LLC during 2011. The note bears no interest and the maturity dates are not within 12 months. As of December 31, 2011 the balances of the notes were $94,448, which it is considered long-term note.
 
 
Note 6 – Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill
 
Goodwill: The Company acquired Grupo Minero Inca (GMI) as a subsidiary in fiscal 2011. GMI is the company the management used to establish all the relationships in Peru and to locate the mining properties. Goodwill was evaluated when the acquisition was complete. As of December 31, 2011, management does the impairment test by using discounted future cash flow method, and realized the impairments of $1,269,343 under the general and administrative expense of the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Year ended December 31, 2011.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company evaluated the value of the assets of GMI, and realized GMI had no real asset values. The Company considered this change a triggering event and performed an interim impairment test of goodwill in accordance with ASC 350 as of December 31, 2011.
 
Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification No. 350 (“ASC 350”), Intangibles–Goodwill and Other, or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. Triggering events for impairment reviews may include adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions, lower projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in market capitalization. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step requires comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to its net book value, including goodwill. We have one reporting unit. A potential impairment exists if the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its net book value. The second step of the process is only performed if a potential impairment exists, and it involves determining the difference between the fair values of the reporting unit’s net assets other than goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit and if the difference is less than the net book value of goodwill, impairment exists and is recorded.
 
Based on the results of the first step of the goodwill analysis, it was determined that the Company’s net book value exceeded its estimated fair value as there is only highly limited potential for future revenue generated from the Company’s revenue stream. As a result, the Company performed the second step of the impairment test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. Under step two, the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company and the sum of the fair value of the identified net assets results in the residual value of goodwill. The results of step two of the goodwill analysis indicated that there the entire goodwill needs to be impaired and the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $1,269,343 under “Impairment loss on goodwill” under general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Other intangible assets: Consist of trade secrets and technology cost pending further validation. Estimated useful lives are 15 years.
 
The Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances, such as reductions in demand, lower projections of profitability, significant changes in the manner of our use of acquired assets, or significant negative industry or economic trends, indicate that the net book value of an asset may not be recovered through expected undiscounted future cash flows from its use and eventual disposition. If this review indicates that there is impairment, the impaired asset is written down to its fair value, which is typically calculated using: (i) quoted market prices and/or (ii) discounted expected future cash flows. The Company estimates regarding future anticipated revenue and cash flows, the remaining economic life of the products and technologies, or both, may differ from those used to assess the recoverability of assets. In that event, impairment charges or shortened useful lives of certain long-lived assets may be required, resulting in a reduction in net income or an increase to net loss in the period when such determinations are made.  As of December 31, 2011, there was no trigger event which caused the Company to impair the intangible assets.

NOTE 12 – Stock options and warrants
 
Stock options
 
In September 2011 and October 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved to grant 13,200,000 and 224,000 stock options, respectively to the employees.
 
Valuation Assumptions
 
The Company valued its stock-based payment awards granted using the Black-Scholes model, during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of certain assumptions. The Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the fair value of options granted were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
   
Equity Incentive Plans for Years Ended December 31,
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
             
Expected terms (in years)
    1-2       0  
Volatility
    50 %     0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    6.25 %     0 %
Expected dividend rate
    0.00 %     0.00 %
Weighted average fair value
  $ 0.05     $ 0.00  
 
The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term is based on the observed and expected time to exercise and post-vesting cancellations of options by optionees.  The Company uses historical volatility in deriving its expected volatility assumption because it believes that future volatility over the expected term of the stock options is not likely to differ from the past.  The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the 5-year U.S Treasury zero-coupon rate with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the assumption in the model.

 
 
 
NOTE 12 – Stock options and warrants (Continued)
 
Valuation Assumptions (Continued)

The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.  The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been determined by the board of directors. On or before December 31, 2011 there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock. Consequently, the board of directors has historically determined the fair value of the common stock at the time of grant of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including valuation of comparable companies, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors.  The fair value of the underlying common stock has been determined by the board of directors until such time as the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the over the counter bulletin board (OTCBB).
 
FASB ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company only records stock-based compensation expense for awards that are expected to vest. While the Company generally considers historical forfeitures in its estimates, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. The Company’s estimates for forfeitures may differ from actual forfeitures. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and its results of operations could be materially impacted when the Company records a true-up for the difference in the period that the awards vest. The Company adjusts stock-based compensation expense based on its actual forfeitures on an annual basis, if necessary.
 
Stock compensation cost, using the graded vesting attribute method in accordance with Codification topic 718, is recognized over the requisite service period, generally 2 years, during which each tranche of shares is earned (zero, one and two years).  The value of each tranche is amortized on a straight-line basis.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, stock based compensation expense was approximately $11,491 and $0, respectively, which consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options recognized under GAAP issued to employees.
 
Note 13 – Segment Information
 
The Company is organized as, and operates in, one reportable segment: software application products. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources, accompanied by information about revenue by geographic regions. The Company’s assets are primarily located in the United States of America and not allocated to any specific region and it does not measure the performance of its geographic regions based upon asset-based metrics. Therefore, geographic information is presented only for revenue. Revenue by geographic region is based on the ship to address on the customer order
 
The following present total revenue by geographic region for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2011:

Note 14 - Commitments and legal proceedings
 
Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is not presently involved in any legal proceedings and was not involved in any such legal proceedings during the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Indemnification
 
Under the indemnification provisions of the Company’s customer agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify and defend its customers against infringement of any patent, trademark, or copyright of any country or the misappropriation of any trade secret, arising from the customers’ legal use of the Company’s services. Exposure to the Company under these indemnification provisions is generally limited to the total amount paid by the customers under pertinent agreements. However, certain indemnification provisions potentially expose the Company to losses in excess of the aggregate amount received from the customer. To date, there have been no claims against the Company or its customers pertaining to such indemnification provisions and no amounts have been recorded
 
Note 15 – Subsequent Events
 
On January 10, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. ("Asher"), for the sale of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $32,500 (the "Note").  The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum.  All interest and principal must be repaid by the maturity date of October 12, 2012.  The Note is convertible into common stock, at Asher's option, at a 45% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion.
 
In February 2012, the Company's Board of Directors decided to cease operating this division and redeploy the resources from Real Estate division to its natural resources division.  The Company will maintain to rent out the property it owns until it can be sold.
 
On February 15, 2012, the Company claimed an addition 700 hectares in Peru.  The claimed is called "Graystone III".
 
On February 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. ("Asher"), for the sale of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $32,500 (the "Note").  The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum.  All interest and principal must be repaid by the maturity date of November 30, 2012.  The Note is convertible into common stock, at Asher's option, at a 45% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion.
 
In April 2012, the Company filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission a PRE 14C informing shareholders of the fact that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), have executed a Written Consent and Action of Stockholders in Lieu of a Meeting approving an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to conduct a reverse stock split of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, by a ratio of Four Hundred to One (400:1)  (the “Split”) to be effective on or around April 16, 2012 or when regulatory approval is obtained
 
 
 
ITEM 9.          CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
 
We have not had any disagreements with our auditors on any matters of accounting principles, practices, or financial statement disclosure.
 
ITEM 9A.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our principal executive and principal financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Rule 308(b) of Regulation S-K, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 
1.
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
2.
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance  with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

 
3.
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company's internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.
 
Identified Material Weakness
 
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
 
Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011:
 
Resources: As of December 31, 2011, we had one part-time employee in general management and no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.  As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner.
 
Written Policies & Procedures: We need to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions, and prepare, review and submit SEC filings in a timely manner.
 
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
 
As our resources allow, we will add financial personnel to our management team.  We plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions.  We will also create an audit committee made up of our independent directors.

Except as stated above, none of the Companies or entities Mr. Howarth has previously worked for is a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company.
 
Mr. Howarth's activities related to projects not related to the business of the Company are minimal.  His responsibilities to the other entities are related to personal investments or are conducted after hours or on the weekend.  Mr. Howarth, as an uncompensated director, devotes his time to the business of Company as the operations and business of the Company require which is approximately 15 – 20 hours per week.  Furthermore, the Company expects that Mr. Howarth will, in our 2nd Quarter 2011, devote equal to or excess of 40 hours per week.  
 
Due to Mr. Howarth’s experience of being on the board of directors and CEO of Forterus, Inc. and his experience of managing large staffs with Bear Stearns and Home Loans Center the shareholders felt Mr. Howarth should serve as a director of the Company.
 
Joseph Mezey, CFO/Director.  Mr. Mezey is our CFO and a member of the Board of Directors. In May 2010, Mr. Mezey co-founded The Graystone Company with Paul Howarth.  In December 2010, Mr. Mezey became a member of the LLC Renard Properties.  Mr. Mezey has no duties or responsibilities with regard to Renard Properties.  Renard Properties acquires and invests in real estate throughout the US.  Renard Properties is an affiliate of the Company due to the fact that it owns more than 10% of the Common Stock of the Company.  Since July 2008, Mr. Mezey has worked as the President of WTL Group, Inc,, his family’s company, which is in involved in the manufacturing and sell of products produced in China.

Due to Mr. Mezey’s experience of being on the board of directors and CEO of Forterus, Inc., and his experience working as Chief Accounting Officer for other public companies and his background in securities law, the shareholders felt Mr. Mezey should serve as a director of the Company.
 
Mr. Mezey's activities related to projects not related to the business of the Company are minimal.  His responsibilities to the other entities are related to personal investments or are conducted after hours or on the weekend. Mr. Mezey's work for WTL Group is merely related to assisting his family's company on as needed basis and so long as it does not interfere with his work for the Company.   Mr. Mezey, as an uncompensated director, devotes all of his time to the business of Company as the operations and business of the Company require which is equal to or greater than 40 hours per week.  Furthermore, the Company expects that Mr. Mezey will, in our 2nd Quarter 2011, devote equal to or excess of 40 hours per week.
 
The foregoing persons are promoters of The Graystone Company, Inc., as that term is defined in the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933.
 
Directors are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of the board of directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
 
Our management has not been involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a Code of Ethics which is designed to ensure that our directors and officers meet the highest standards of ethical conduct. The Code of Ethics requires that our directors and officers comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in our best interest. A copy of the Company's code of ethics has been attached to this prospectus as Exhibit 14.

Committees of the Board of Directors
 
The Company does not presently have a separately designated audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of its Board of Directors. As such, the sole director acts in those capacities. The Company believes that committees of the Board are not necessary at this time given that the Company is in its exploration stage. However, the sole director will continue to study this matter, and the Company plans to add Board members and/or committees of the Board as its business develops.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
Mr. Howarth nor Mr. Mezey does not qualify as an “audit committee financial expert.” The Company believes that the cost related to retaining such a financial expert at this time is prohibitive, given its current operating and financial condition. Further, because the Company is in the development stage of its business operations, it believes the services of an audit committee financial expert are not warranted at this time.
 
 
ITEM 11.        EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Companies’ officers and director have receive any annual salary of $1.00 per year for the services rendered on behalf of the Company.
