GREYSTONE LOGISTICS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 

Note 1.   Basis of Financial Statements

In the opinion of Greystone Logistics, Inc. (“Greystone”), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of November 30, 2012, and the results of its operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 and the notes thereto included in Greystone's Form 10-K for such period. The results of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The consolidated financial statements of Greystone include its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. (“GSM”) and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc. (“PPP”), and its variable interest entities, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”) and GLOG Investments, L.L.C. (“GLOG”), except that GLOG was deconsolidated effective September 1, 2011.  GRE owns two buildings located in Bettendorf, Iowa which are leased to GSM.
 

Note 2.   Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

Greystone excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is anti-dilutive.  Equity instruments which have been excluded are certain options to purchase common stock totaling 350,000 and 1,940,000 shares for the six and three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and convertible preferred stock which is convertible into 3,333,334 shares of common stock for both the six months and three months ended November 30, 2012, and 2011.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the six and three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011:

Greystone, GSM, GRE, Warren F. Kruger, President and CEO, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a director, are parties to a loan agreement dated as of March 4, 2005, as amended, with F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”).  The amended loan agreement (a) includes cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions among property and debts of GSM and GRE, an entity owned by Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, and Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, as owners of Greystone’s Series 2003 Preferred Stock (debt in the amount of approximately $3,400,000 owed by Messrs. Kruger and Rosene to F&M is collateralized by the preferred stock), (b) contains certain financial covenants, and (c) restricts the payments of dividends. Greystone’s note payable to F&M is secured by Greystone’s cash, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
 

Note 6.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions are used in estimating the fair-value disclosures for financial instruments:

Long-Term Debt: The carrying amount of loans with floating rates of interest approximate fair value.  Fixed rate loans are valued based on cash flows using estimated rates of comparable loans.  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.

Greystone derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a national brewer.  This customer accounted for approximately 74% and 75% of Greystone’s pallet sales and 65% and 61% of Greystone’s total sales for the six months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Greystone’s recycled plastic pallets are approved for use by the customer and, at the current time, are the only plastic pallets used by the customer for shipping products. There is no assurance that Greystone will retain this customer’s business at the same level, or at all.  The loss of a material amount of business from this customer could have a material adverse effect on Greystone.
 
Warren F. Kruger, President and CEO, Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a Greystone director, have provided financing and guarantees on Greystone’s bank debt.  As of November 30, 2012, Greystone is indebted to Mr. Kruger in the amount of $527,716 for a note payable and to Mr. Rosene in the amount of $3,482,987 for a note payable and related accrued interest.  Effective January 15, 2012, Messrs. Kruger and Rosene agreed to a two year extension on the debt.  There is no assurance that these individuals will continue to provide extensions in the future.

 See Note 5 for a discussion of the cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions contained in the loan agreement dated as of March 4, 2005, as amended, with F&M.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

General to All Periods

The unaudited consolidated statements include Greystone Logistics, Inc., its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. (“GSM”), and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc. (“PPP”).  Greystone also consolidates its variable interest entities, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”), and GLOG Investment, L.L.C. (“GLOG”), except that GLOG was deconsolidated effective September 1, 2011.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

References to fiscal year 2013 refer to the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2012, as applicable.  References to fiscal year 2012 refer to the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2011, as applicable.

Sales

Greystone's primary focus is to provide quality plastic pallets to its existing customers while continuing its marketing efforts to broaden its customer base.  Greystone's existing customers are primarily located in the United States and engaged in the beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries.  Greystone has generated and plans to continue to generate interest in its pallets by attending trade shows sponsored by industry segments that would benefit from Greystone's products.  Greystone hopes to gain wider product acceptance by marketing the concept that the widespread use of plastic pallets could greatly reduce the destruction of trees on a worldwide basis.  Greystone’s marketing is conducted through contract distributors, its President and other employees.

Greystone derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a national brewer.  This customer accounted for approximately 74% and 75% of Greystone’s pallet sales and 65% and 61% of Greystone’s total sales for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Personnel

Greystone had approximately 94 full-time employees as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Taxes

Prior to fiscal year 2012, Greystone generated substantial net operating losses (“NOLs”) which would normally have reflected a tax benefit in the statement of operations during the periods in which the NOLs were incurred.  However, in assessing the reliability of recognizing estimated tax benefits from utilization of NOLs, management considers the likelihood of whether it is more likely than not the tax benefit will be realized.  Based on this evaluation, management provided a full valuation allowance for these NOLs prior to fiscal year 2012.   Greystone recognized no provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2013 or 2012 as tax incurred on net income was offset by the utilization of prior period NOLs.  Furthermore, in fiscal year 2013, Greystone reduced its valuation allowance and recognized a tax benefit of $209,300 and $9,900 for the six-months and three-months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, due to management’s current assessment of future profitability and ultimate expected realization of prior period NOLs.

Based upon a review of its income tax filing positions, Greystone believes that its positions would be sustained upon an audit by the Internal Revenue Service and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. At November 30, 2012, Greystone had no unrecognized tax benefits.

Six Month Period Ended November 30, 2012 Compared to Six Month Period Ended November 30, 2011

Sales
 
Sales for fiscal year 2013 were $12,187,984 compared to $11,997,125 in fiscal year 2012 for an increase of $190,859.  Pallet sales were $10,653,836, or 87% of total sales, in fiscal year 2013 compared to $9,732,702, or 81% of total sales, in fiscal year 2012 for an increase of $921,134. The increase in pallet sales in fiscal year 2013 over fiscal year 2012 primarily resulted from a 7% increase in the number of pallets sold which was principally due to the increase in the number of pallets sold to Greystone’s major customer. Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2013 were 74% of total pallet sales compared to 75% of total pallet sales in fiscal year 2012.
 
Pallet sales to Greystone’s major customer are generally based on the customer’s need to maintain its pallet inventory and may vary by period.  Greystone cannot predict the customer’s future needs to maintain or grow its pallet inventory but has been able to grow sales to new pallet customers developed through Greystone’s marketing efforts to broaden its customer base.

Sales of recycled plastic resin were $1,534,148 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $2,264,423 in fiscal year 2012 for a decrease of $730,275.  Greystone has curtailed its sales of resin during fiscal year 2013 due to unfavorable margins with respect to the cost of material compared to the resale pricing values.  Greystone intends to place more emphasis on the sale of resin as market conditions improve.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales in fiscal year 2013 was $9,779,803, or 80% of sales, compared to $9,860,901, or 82% of sales, in fiscal year 2012.  The decrease in the ratio of cost of sales to sales is primarily due to a 6% decrease in resin sales to total sales and resin cost of sales to total cost of sales from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013.

The ratio of cost of resin sales to resin sales was approximately 110% in fiscal year 2013 compared to 108% in fiscal year 2012.  The increase in the ratio of cost of sales to sales from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 was due to an increase in production costs as a result of the addition of a new pelletizing line which was offset in part by an improvement in gross profit margins before production costs.  Yorktown Management, LLC (“Yorktown”), an entity owned by Warren Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO, provides the pelletizing equipment and receives a 40% share of the gross profit before production costs (defined as revenue less material, freight and commissions).  Yorktown’s share of gross profits from resin sales totaled approximately $87,000 and $75,000 in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses
 
General, selling and administrative expenses were $1,101,083 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $899,345 in fiscal year 2012 for an increase of $201,738. The increase in general, selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in salaries of $51,620, commission expense of $41,580, stock compensation costs of $26,712 and audit fees of $41,598.   As Greystone continues to diversify its customer base through the utilization of contract distributors, commission expense will likely proportionately increase. Greystone had no stock compensation costs in fiscal year 2012.

Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $419,354 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $478,897 in fiscal year 2012 for a decrease of $59,543.  Interest expense in fiscal year 2012 included approximately $45,000 for the variable interest entity, GLOG, which was deconsolidated effective September 1, 2011.

Benefit from Income Taxes

Benefit from income taxes was $209,300 and $-0- in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. See “Taxes” in this Item 2 as to the increase in the benefit for Greystone’s NOLs.

Net Income
 
Greystone recorded net income of $1,103,544 compared to $751,141 in fiscal year 2012 for the reasons discussed above.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
 
Net income available to common stockholders for fiscal year 2013 was $834,608, or $0.03 per share, compared to $623,934, or $0.02 per share, in fiscal year 2012 for the reasons discussed above.

Three Month Period Ended November 30, 2012 Compared to Three Month Period Ended November 30, 2011

Sales
 
Sales for fiscal year 2013 were $5,059,118 compared to $6,213,501 in fiscal year 2012 for a decrease of $1,154,383.  Pallet sales were $4,243,612, or 84% of total sales, in fiscal year 2013 compared to $5,443,783, or 88% of total sales, in fiscal year 2012 for a decrease of $1,200,171. The decrease in pallet sales from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 resulted from a 26% decrease in the number of pallets sold. There was a 40% decrease in the number of pallets sold to Greystone’s major customer from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 due to the seasonal needs of such customer. Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2013 were 65% of total pallet sales compared to 61% of total pallet sales in fiscal year 2012.
 
Pallet sales to Greystone’s major customer are generally based on the customer’s need to maintain its pallet inventory and may vary by period.  Greystone cannot predict the customer’s future needs to maintain or grow its pallet inventory but has been able to grow sales to new pallet customers developed through Greystone’s marketing efforts to broaden its customer base.

Sales of recycled plastic resin were $815,506 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $769,718 in fiscal year 2012 for an increase of $45,788.  Greystone has curtailed its sales of resin during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 due to unfavorable margins with respect to the cost of material compared to the resale pricing values.  Greystone intends to place more emphasis on the sale of resin as market conditions improve.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales in fiscal year 2013 was $4,175,786, or 83% of sales, compared to $5,140,878, or 83% of sales, in fiscal year 2012. While pallet sales declined in fiscal year 2013 compared to fiscal year 2012, pallet production remained relatively stable for the respective periods resulting in stability in the cost of pallets produced.

The ratio of cost of resin sales to resin sales was approximately 110% in fiscal year 2013 compared to 123% in fiscal year 2012.  The decrease in the ratio of cost of resin sales to resin sales from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 is due to an improvement in profit margins before production costs which was offset in part by an increase in production costs due to the addition of a new pelletizing line.  Yorktown Management, LLC (“Yorktown”), an entity owned by Warren Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO, provides the pelletizing equipment and receives a 40% share of the gross profit before production costs (defined as revenue less material, freight and commissions). Yorktown’s share of gross profits from resin sales totaled approximately $34,000 and $22,000 in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses
 
General, selling and administrative expenses were $542,444 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $487,358 in fiscal year 2012 for an increase of $55,086. The increase in fiscal year 2013 over fiscal year 2012 was principally due to an increase in commission expense of $27,855 and stock compensation costs of $13,356. As Greystone continues to diversify its customer base through the utilization of contract distributors, commission expense will likely proportionately increase.  Greystone had no stock compensation costs in fiscal year 2012.

Benefit from Income Taxes
 
Benefit from income taxes was $9,900 and $-0- in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. See “Taxes” in this Item 2 as to the increase in the benefit for Greystone’s NOLs.

Net Income
 
Greystone recorded net income of $136,777 compared to $368,830 in fiscal year 2012 for the reasons discussed above.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
 
Net income available to common stockholders for fiscal year 2013 was $2,603, or $0.00 per share, compared to $237,248, or $0.01 per share, in fiscal year 2012 for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Greystone’s operations have provided positive cash flows for each of the years beginning in fiscal year 2007 through the six month period ended November 30, 2012. While these positive cash flows have been beneficial to Greystone’s ability to finance its operations, Greystone will require additional cash to achieve continued growth and to meet Greystone's contractual obligations. Greystone continues to explore various options including refinancing long-term debt and equity financing.  However, there is no guarantee that Greystone will be able to raise sufficient capital to meet these obligations.

A summary of cash flows for the six months ended November 30, 2012 is as follows:
 
 
Cash provided by operating activities
  $ 1,085,060  
         
Cash used in investing activities
      (280,176 )
         
Cash used in financing activities
    (685,984 )


The contractual obligations of Greystone are as follows:

   
 
Total
   
Less than
1 year
   
 
1-3 years
   
 
4-5 years
   
More than
5 years
 
Long-term debt
  $ 11,404,971     $ 1,285,911     $ 7,355,013     $ 2,764,047     $ -0-  
 
 
Greystone had a working capital deficit of $(3,722,273) at November 30, 2012 compared to a working capital deficit at May 31, 2012 of $(4,165,900) for an improvement of $443,627.  Excluding preferred dividends payable, the working capital deficit at November 30, 2012 is reduced to $(633,439).  To provide for the funding to meet Greystone's operating activities and contractual obligations as of November 30, 2012, Greystone will have to continue to produce positive operating results or explore various options including long-term debt and equity financing.  However, there is no guarantee that Greystone will continue to create positive operating results or be able to raise sufficient capital to meet these obligations.

Substantially all of the financing that Greystone has received through the last few fiscal years resulted from loans provided by certain officers and directors of Greystone and bank loans which are guaranteed by certain officers and directors of Greystone.

Greystone continues to be dependent upon its officers and directors to provide and/or secure additional financing and there is no assurance that its officers and directors will continue to do so.  As such, there is no assurance that funding will be available for Greystone to continue operations.

Greystone has 50,000 outstanding shares of cumulative 2003 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $5,000,000 and a preferred dividend rate of the prime rate of interest plus 3.25%.  Greystone does not anticipate that it will make cash dividend payments to any holders of its preferred stock or its common stock unless and until the financial position of Greystone improves through increased revenues, another financing transaction or otherwise.

Forward Looking Statements and Material Risks

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws.  All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Greystone expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including decreased costs, securing financing, the profitability of Greystone, potential sales of pallets or other possible business developments, are forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could be affected by any of the following factors: Greystone's prospects could be affected by changes in availability of raw materials, competition, rapid technological change and new legislation regarding environmental matters; Greystone may not be able to secure additional financing necessary to sustain and grow its operations; and a material portion of Greystone's business is and will be dependent upon a few large customers and there is no assurance that Greystone will be able to retain such customers.  These risks and other risks that could affect Greystone's business are more fully described in Greystone's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, which was filed on September 14, 2012.  Actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements.  Greystone undertakes no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Greystone carried out an evaluation under the supervision of Greystone's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Greystone's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).  Based on an evaluation as of May 31, 2012, Warren F. Kruger, Greystone's Chief Executive Officer, and William W. Rahhal, Greystone’s Chief Financial Officer, identified two material weaknesses in Greystone's internal control over financial reporting.  As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such material weaknesses had not been rectified. As a result of the continuation of these two material weaknesses, Greystone’s CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Greystone's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at November 30, 2012.
 
During the three-month period ended November 30, 2012, there were no changes in Greystone's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, Greystone's internal control over financial reporting.
