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 February 28, 2013, and the results of its operations for the nine-month and three-month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. 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 nine-month and three-month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 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 nine and three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, and convertible preferred stock which is convertible into 3,333,334 shares of common stock for both the nine months and three months ended February 28, 2013, and 2012.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted shares for the nine and three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012:

Note 4. Related Party Transactions
Yorktown Management & Financial Services, LLC (“Yorktown”), an entity wholly owned by Greystone’s CEO and President, owns certain equipment that Greystone uses for its pallet and resin production. Greystone pays advances to Yorktown in recognition of the amounts owed pursuant to certain agreements. As of February 28, 2013, Greystone has a receivable from Yorktown in the amount of $2,985,051. Mr. Kruger has agreed that, if necessary, the amounts due Greystone should be offset against certain amounts that Greystone owes him or Yorktown. At February 28, 2013, the offset against the net advances is the combined total of (i) the accrued interest of $802,551 payable to Mr. Kruger, (ii) advances payable to Mr. Kruger of $513,180 and (iii) an account payable of $720,000 for deferred compensation payable to Mr. Kruger.
- 6 -
Effective February 1, 2013, the arrangement between Greystone and Yorktown whereby Yorktown provided the pelletizing equipment and received a 40% share of the gross profit from the sale of pelletized resin was replaced by an arrangement whereby Greystone will pay Yorktown a fee of $0.02 per pound for utilization of Yorktown’s pelletizing equipment. Also, Greystone no longer purchases raw materials for pallet production from Yorktown and the grinding fee for utilization of Yorktown’s equipment was increased to $0.05 per pound.

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 (the “Loan Agreement”), with F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”). The 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
- 7 -
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.
On March 1, 2013, F&M and GSM entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement. The Fourth Amendment (a) has an effective date of February 28, 2013, (b) extends the maturity date of the loan from F&M to GSM under the Loan Agreement (the “Loan”) to March 13, 2015, and (c) increases the amount of the Loan by $250,000. The loan increase of $250,000 was funded on March 1, 2013, whereby the outstanding principal balance of the Loan became $4,823,333. In connection with the execution of the Fourth Amendment, (y) Greystone ratified its existing guaranty of GSM’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, and (z) GSM executed a promissory note in favor of F&M, whereby GSM promises to repay the Loan.
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.
Note 7. Risks and Uncertainties
Greystone derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a national brewer. This customer accounted for approximately 67% and 68% of Greystone’s pallet sales and 59% and 57% of Greystone’s total sales for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, 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 February 28, 2013, Greystone is indebted to Mr. Kruger in the amount of $527,716 for a note payable and to Mr. Rosene in the amount of $3,548,701 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.

References to fiscal year 2013 refer to the nine-month and three-month periods ended February 28, 2013, as applicable. References to fiscal year 2012 refer to the nine-month and three-month periods ended February 29, 2012, 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 67% and 68% of Greystone’s pallet sales and 59% and 57% of Greystone’s total sales for the nine-month periods ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.
Personnel
Greystone had approximately 94 full-time employees as of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012.
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
- 9 -
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 $226,900 and $17,600 for the nine-months and three-months ended February 28, 2013, 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 February 28, 2013, Greystone had no unrecognized tax benefits.
Nine Month Period Ended February 28, 2013 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended February 29, 2012
Sales
Sales for fiscal year 2013 were $16,705,437 compared to $16,872,981 in fiscal year 2012 for a decrease of $167,544. This decrease in total sales from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 was the result of a $712,254 decrease in resin sales offset by an increase in pallet sales of $544,710.
Pallet sales were $14,609,391, or 87% of total sales, in fiscal year 2013 compared to $14,064,681, or 83% of total sales, in fiscal year 2012 for an increase of $544,710 or 4%. There was an increase of 10% in the number of pallets sold in fiscal year 2013 over fiscal year 2012; however, the product mix in fiscal year 2013 included 28% of Greystone’s nestable pallets compared to 22% in fiscal year 2012. The nestable pallet is Greystone’s lowest priced pallet.
Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2013 were 67% of total pallet sales compared to 68% 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 $2,096,046 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $2,808,300 in fiscal year 2012 for a decrease of $712,254. 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 $13,467,061, or 81% of sales, compared to $13,821,507, or 82% of sales, in fiscal year 2012. Cost of sales for pallets as a percent of pallet sales were 76% for fiscal years 2013 and 2012.
The ratio of cost of resin sales to resin sales was approximately 112% in fiscal year 2013 compared to 111% 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). Effective February 1, 2013, this arrangement between Greystone and Yorktown was terminated, and Greystone will instead pay Yorktown a fee of $0.02 per pound for utilization of Yorktown’s pelletizing equipment.
General, Selling and Administrative Expenses
General, selling and administrative expenses were $1,573,995 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $1,454,146 in fiscal year 2012 for an increase of $119,849.

Greystone had no stock compensation costs in fiscal year 2012.
Interest Expense

The nestable pallet is Greystone’s lowest priced pallet.
Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2013 were 50% of total pallet sales compared to 53% of total pallet sales in fiscal year 2012.

Greystone had no stock compensation costs in fiscal year 2012.

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 month period ended February 28, 2013. 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 nine months ended February 28, 2013 is as follows:

Excluding preferred dividends payable, the working capital deficit at February 28, 2013 would be $(493,527). To provide for the funding to meet Greystone's operating activities and contractual obligations as of February 28, 2013, 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.
- 13 -
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 February 28, 2013.
During the three-month period ended February 28, 2013, 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.
