GREYSTONE
LOGISTICS, INC.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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 February 28,
2010, and the results of its operations for the nine and three month periods
ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 and its cash flows for the nine month periods
ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 and the notes
thereto included in Greystone's Form 10-K. The results of operations for the
nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal
year.
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared assuming that Greystone will continue as a going concern and
do not reflect the possible effects of any adjustments that might result from
Greystone’s inability to continue as a going concern. The working capital
deficit of $13,071,465, a stockholders' deficiency of $8,130,017 and its ability
to obtain additional long-term financing, if necessary, raise questions about
Greystone’s ability to continue as a going concern. It is management’s opinion
that (1) based upon interest from potential customers, adequate sales will be
attained to reach a profitable status, (2) the funding for long-term financing
will be obtained, and (3) Greystone will continue as a going
concern.
2. Earnings
Per Share
For the
nine month periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 and for the three month
periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, basic and diluted EPS are the same due
to the loss attributable to common stockholders.
The
following securities (rounded to thousands) were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share for the nine and three month periods ended
February 28, 2010 as their effect would have been antidilutive:

|
$ | 860,695 | $ | 1,061,569 |
4. Revenue
Recognition
Greystone’s
sales agreements with customers other than its primary customer generally
provide for risk of loss to pass to the customers upon shipment from Greystone’s
plant in Bettendorf, Iowa. Revenue is recognized for these customers
at date of shipment.
Greystone’s
agreements with its major customer provide that (1) risk of loss or damages for
product in transit remain with Greystone, and (2) product is subject to approval
at the customer’s premises. Accordingly, Greystone recognizes revenue
when the product has been delivered to the customer’s sites and risk of loss has
passed to the customer.
For sales
to all customers, cost of goods sold is recognized when the related revenue is
recognized.
5. Long-Term
Debt
Effective
January 15, 2010, Warren F. Kruger, President and CEO, and Robert Rosene, a
member of Greystone’s board of directors, extended the maturity date for
principal and interest of certain notes in the principal amounts of $527,716 and
$2,066,000, respectively, and dated December 15, 2005, from January
15, 2010 to January 15, 2011.
6. Related
Party Transaction
Effective January 15, 2010, Greystone
entered into an agreement with Yorktown Management & Financial Services,
L.L.C. (“Yorktown”), an entity owned by Greystone’s President and CEO, Warren
Kruger, whereby Greystone will process material for Yorktown’s
plastic recycling activities. Greystone will provide facilities, equipment,
labor including insurance and taxes, and insurance on equipment owned by
Yorktown relating to the processing operation. The term of the
agreement is through January 15, 2017 provided that Yorktown may cancel the
agreement with ninety days notice. The fee charged to Yorktown for
processing the materials during the initial twelve months will be equal to 60%
of the difference between the sales price including transportation and the
purchase price of the materials including transportation.
6
The recycled material will
primarily be marketed through an individual under contract with Greystone
who will be paid a commission of 2.5% of the selling price.
7.
Commitments
Greystone
leases two injection molding machines at a specified rental rate based on the
number of pallets produced with a minimum monthly rental of
$25,000. The lease is year-to-year with a renewal date of January
1. Greystone maintains the right to renew or terminate the lease
annually and elected to renew the lease beginning January 1, 2010.
8. Fair
Value Measurements
Greystone
has no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis.
9. 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.
10. Accounting
Standards Issued But Not Adopted
In June 2009, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) –
Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable
Interests, to incorporate SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46R into the Accounting Standards Codification. SFAS 167 amends certain
requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003),
“Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities — an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” to improve the
financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and
to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial
statements. This standard is effective for Greystone in the fiscal year
beginning June 1, 2010. Management is evaluating the impact of
ASU 2009-17 on its financial statements.
7
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, LLC, or GSM, and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc., or
PPP, and a variable interest entity, Greystone Properties, LLC. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
Greystone has incurred significant
losses from operations, and there is no assurance that future operations will be
profitable or that it can obtain funds necessary to finance its
operations.
References to fiscal year 2010 refer to
the nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2010, as
applicable. References to fiscal year 2009 refer to the nine and
three month periods ended February 28, 2009, as applicable.
Sales
Greystone's primary business is the
manufacturing and selling of plastic pallets through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, GSM and PPP. In addition, Greystone sells its excess
recycled resin in pelletized and ground forms. Greystone sells its
pallets through direct sales and a network of independent contractor
distributors. Greystone also sells its pallets and pallet leasing
services to certain large customers direct through its President, Senior Vice
President of Sales and Marketing and other employees.
In March
2010, Greystone announced that it had commenced recycled polyolefin production
at its Bettendorf, Iowa recycling facility. Greystone uses extrusion
equipment leased from Yorktown Management and Financial Services, LLC, a company
owned by Greystone's CEO, Warren Kruger, to manufacture the recycled
polyolefin. The product is principally marketed through a brokerage
agreement with an individual with significant experience in marketing recycled
resin.
Greystone’s sales to one national
brewer for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 were approximately 70% and 81% of total
sales, respectively.
Since July 2006, Greystone has operated
a beta test program involving the lease of a small pool of recycled plastic
pallets to a customer to be utilized by the customer to ship a portion of its
manufactured products in a closed loop system. Pursuant to the agreement with
the customer, Greystone delivers and tracks throughout the logistics cycle
sufficient quantities of plastic pallets for use in shipping a segment of the
customer's product. The pallets stay in a closed loop environment and
are continually sent back for reuse. If a pallet is damaged,
Greystone grinds the pallet and reutilizes the resin.
8
Personnel
Greystone had approximately 71 and 85
full-time employees as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Taxes
For all years presented, Greystone's
effective tax rate is 0%. Greystone has generated substantial net
operating losses which would normally reflect a tax benefit in the statements of
operations and a deferred asset on the balance sheet. However,
because of the current uncertainty as to Greystone's ability to achieve
profitability, a valuation reserve has been established that offsets the amount
of any tax benefit available for each period presented in the consolidated
statements of operations.
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 February 28,
2010, Greystone had no unrecognized tax benefits.
Nine
Month Period Ended February 28, 2010 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended
February 28, 2009
Sales
Sales for fiscal year 2010 were
$11,170,768 compared to $12,118,476 in fiscal year 2009 for a decrease of
$947,708. The decrease is principally due to a decline in sales to
Greystone’s major customer in fiscal year 2010. Sales to Greystone’s major
customer were approximately 70% of total sales in fiscal year 2010 compared to
81% in fiscal year 2009.
On June 15, 2009, Greystone and Sonoco
Products Company ("Sonoco") entered into a Raw Materials/Goods Purchase Contract
(the "Contract") relating to the purchase by Sonoco of Greystone pallets made
from 100% recycled plastic. Sonoco markets consumer packaging
products among other things and Greystone will produce a private label pallet
line for Sonoco. The Contract does not obligate Sonoco to
purchase any particular quantity, volume or value of pallets.
Effective November 20, 2009, Greystone
entered into an agency agreement with an individual to market polyethylene and
polypropylene resins. The individual will be paid a commission of 2.5% of the
selling price. The agency agreement is for a three-year period with automatic
one-year renewals.
Cost of
Sales
Cost of sales in fiscal year 2010 was
$9,136,907, or 82% of sales, compared to $10,043,569, or 83% of sales, in fiscal
year 2009.
9
General, Selling and
Administration Expenses
General, selling and administration
expenses for fiscal year 2010 were $1,446,358 compared to $1,328,565 in fiscal
year 2009 for an increase of $117,793. This increase is primarily
related to commissions and travel costs in marketing Greystone’s product
lines.
Other
Income
Other
income decreased $149,015 from $181,015 in fiscal year 2009 to $32,000 in fiscal
year 2010. Other income for fiscal year 2009 includes an insurance
settlement stemming from a claim on a business interruption policy in the amount
of $132,815. In addition, other income for fiscal
year 2010 and 2009 includes $32,000 and $48,000, respectively, from
the recognition of deferred income.
Interest

Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Greystone’s operations have provided
positive cash flows for each of the years beginning in fiscal year 2007 through
the nine months period ended February 28, 2010. To provide for the additional
cash that might be necessary to meet Greystone's contractual obligations,
Greystone is exploring 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 nine
months ended February 28, 2010 is as follows:

Greystone had a working capital deficit
of $13,071,465 at February 28, 2010, which includes the current portion of
long-term debt of $8,823,714 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$3,554,403. The working capital deficit reflects the uncertain financial
condition of Greystone resulting from its inability to obtain long-term
financing. There is no assurance that Greystone will secure such
financing.
11
Substantially all of the financing that
Greystone has received through February 28, 2010 has been provided by loans or
through loan guarantees from the officers and directors of Greystone, the
offerings of preferred stock to current and former officers and directors of
Greystone in fiscal years 2001 and 2003 and through a private placement of
common stock completed in March 2005.
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, 2009, which was filed on
September 15, 2009. 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
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 Interim 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, 2009, Greystone's Chief Executive Officer and Robert H. Nelson,
Greystone’s former Chief Financial Officer who resigned effective October 24,
2009, identified three
12
material
weaknesses. During fiscal year 2010, Greystone implemented procedures
to correct one of the material weaknesses. As a result of the remaining two
material weaknesses, Greystone’s CEO and Interim Chief Financial Officer
concluded that Greystone did not maintain effective internal control over
financial reporting as of February 28, 2010. The material weaknesses as of
February 28, 2010 were as follows:
1.
Greystone lacks the necessary corporate accounting resources to maintain
adequate segregation of duties. Reliance on these limited resources impairs
Greystone’s ability to provide for proper segregation of duties and the ability
to ensure consistently complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as
disclosure controls and procedures.
2.
Greystone has limited resources to ensure that necessary internal controls are
implemented and followed throughout the company. Because of this limitation with
respect to the ability to allocate sufficient resources to internal controls,
material misstatements could occur and remain undetected, implementation of new
accounting standards could be hindered and risk assessment and monitoring may
not be addressed in a timely manner.
As of May
31, 2009, Greystone’s costing procedure with respect to valuation of finished
goods inventory was reported as a material weakness. Greystone implemented
procedures during fiscal year 2010 to calculate labor and overhead rates on an
actual basis to ensure that finished goods are properly valued.
During the quarter ended February 28,
2010, except as noted in the previous paragraph, 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.
