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, 2015, the results of its operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 and the notes thereto included in Greystone’s Form 10-K for such period. The results of operations for the six-months and three-month periods ended November 30, 2015 and 2014 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 the variable interest entity, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”). 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 (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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, as follows:

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2015 and 2014:

Note 3. Inventory

Inventory consists of the following:

Note 4. Related Party Receivable

Yorktown Management & Financial Services, LLC (“Yorktown”), an entity wholly owned by Greystone’s CEO and President, owns and rents to Greystone (1) grinding equipment used to grind raw materials for Greystone’s pallet production and (2) extruders for pelletizing recycled plastic into pellets for resale and for use as raw material in the manufacture of pallets. Beginning September 2015, GSM rents from Yorktown a plastic grinding and wash line facility located in Tulsa, OK on a month-to-month basis. Greystone compensates Yorktown for the use of this equipment as discussed below. In addition, Yorktown provides office space for Greystone in Tulsa, Oklahoma at a monthly rental of $2,200.

GSM pays a weekly rental fees to Yorktown of $22,500 for use of Yorktown’s grinding equipment and $5,000 for the use of Yorktown’s pelletizing equipment for which GSM paid Yorktown rental fees of $715,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In fiscal year 2016, GSM paid rents of $52,500 to Yorktown for the grinding and wash line facility.

During fiscal year 2015, Greystone paid the labor on behalf of Yorktown’s Tulsa, Oklahoma grinding operation. These costs were invoiced to Yorktown on a monthly basis. As of November 30, 2015, Yorktown owes Greystone $448,209 primarily from the aforementioned labor costs incurred by Greystone on behalf of Yorktown.

TriEnda Holdings, L.L.C.

Warren F. Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO, has a majority ownership interest in and serves as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of TriEnda Holdings, L.L.C. (“TriEnda”). TriEnda uses a thermoform process to manufacturer plastic pallets, protective packaging and returnable dunnage. Beginning in fiscal year 2015, Greystone provides tolling services to TriEnda by blending and pelletizing plastic resin using TriEnda’s equipment and raw materials. Tolling service sales to TriEnda totaled $111,986 and $56,026 during the six months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of November 30, 2015, the account receivable from TriEnda was $56,588. Greystone purchases the waste material from the pelletizing process for which Greystone owed TriEnda $5,943 at November 30, 2015.

Green Plastic Pallets

Greystone sells plastic pallets to Green Plastic Pallets (“Green”), an entity that is owned by James Kruger, brother to Warren Kruger, Greystone’s president and CEO. Greystone had sales to Green of $146,880 in fiscal year 2016 and an account receivable at November 30, 2015 in the amount of $36,720. There were no sales in fiscal year 2015.

Note 5. Debt

Debt as of November 30, 2015 and May 31, 2015 is as follows:

The prime rate of interest as of November 30, 2015 was 3.25%.

Loan Agreement between Greystone and IBC

On January 31, 2014, Greystone and GSM (the “Borrowers”) and International Bank of Commerce (“IBC”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “IBC Loan Agreement”). The IBC Loan Agreement provides for a revolving loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,500,000 (the “Revolving Loan”) and a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $9,200,000 (the “Term Loan”). The exact amount which can be borrowed under the Revolving Loan from time to time is dependent upon the amount of the borrowing base, but can in no event exceed $2,500,000. On January 7, 2016, IBC extended the Revolving Loan to January 31, 2018 as discussed further in Note 10, “Subsequent Event.”

The IBC Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants which include (i) requiring the Borrowers to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1:25 to 1:00 and a funded debt to EBIDA ratio not exceeding 3:00 to 1:00, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, limiting the Borrowers’ combined capital expenditures on fixed assets to $1,000,000 per year, (iii) prohibiting Greystone, without IBC’s prior written consent, from declaring or paying any dividends, redemptions of stock or membership interests, distributions and withdrawals (as applicable) in respect of its capital stock or any other equity interest, other than additional payments to holders of its preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year, (iv) subject to certain exceptions, prohibiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Borrowers, and (v) requiring the Borrowers to prevent (A) any change in capital ownership such that there is a material change in the direct or indirect ownership of (1) Greystone’s outstanding preferred stock, and (2) any equity interest in GSM, or (B) Warren Kruger from ceasing to be actively involved in the management of Greystone as President and/or Chief Executive Officer. The foregoing list of covenants is not exhaustive and there are several other covenants contained in the IBC Loan Agreement.

Greystone’s debt service coverage ratio as of November 30, 2015 was 0.73 to 1:00 which was less than the required minimum as discussed above. IBC has issued a waiver with respect to this occurrence of noncompliance and, as discussed further in Note 10, “Subsequent Event,” deferred the compliance requirement until May 31, 2016.

The IBC Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of principal and other amounts owing under the IBC Loan Agreement from time to time, inaccuracy of representations, violation of covenants, defaults under other agreements, bankruptcy and similar events, the death of a guarantor, certain material adverse changes relating to a Borrower or guarantor, certain judgments or awards against a Borrower, or government action affecting a Borrower’s or guarantor’s ability to perform under the IBC Loan Agreement or the related loan documents. Among other things, a default under the IBC Loan Agreement would permit IBC to cease lending funds under the IBC Loan Agreement, and require immediate repayment of any outstanding loans with interest and any unpaid accrued fees.

The IBC Loan Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers. In addition, the IBC Loan Agreement is secured by a mortgage granted by GRE on the real property owned by GRE in Bettendorf, Iowa (the “Mortgage”). GRE is owned by Warren F. Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a director of Greystone. Messrs. Kruger and Rosene have provided a combined limited guaranty of the Borrowers’ obligations under the IBC Loan Agreement, with such guaranty being limited to a combined amount of $6,500,000 (the “Guaranty”). The Mortgage and the Guaranty also secure or guaranty, as applicable, the obligations of GRE under the Loan Agreement between GRE and IBC dated January 31, 2014 as discussed in the following paragraph.

Loan Agreement between GRE and IBC

On January 31, 2014, GRE and IBC entered into a Loan Agreement which provided for a mortgage loan to GRE of $3,412,500. The loan provides for a 4.5% interest rate and a maturity of January 31, 2019 and is secured by a mortgage on the two buildings in Bettendorf, Iowa which are leased to Greystone.

Note Payable between Greystone and Robert B. Rosene, Jr.

Effective December 15, 2005, Greystone entered into an agreement with Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors, to convert $2,066,000 of advances into a note payable at 7.5% interest. Mr. Rosene has waived payment of principal until January 15, 2017. Greystone accrued interest on the note and unpaid interest in the amounts of $163,050 and $151,147 for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accrued interest due to Mr. Rosene at May 31, 2015 is $2,306,325.

Note 6. Stock Compensation Costs

Stock compensation costs, resulting from stock options issued June 1, 2012, were $26,712 for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The unexpensed cost at November 30, 2015 totaled $26,712.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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 8. Risks and Uncertainties

Greystone derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a national brewer. This customer accounted for approximately 32% and 48% of Greystone’s pallet sales and 31% and 43% of Greystone’s total sales for the six months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, 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.

Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a Greystone director, has provided financing and guarantees on Greystone’s bank debt. As of November 30, 2015, Greystone is indebted to Mr. Rosene in the amount of $4,372,325 for a note payable and related accrued interest due January 15, 2017. There is no assurance that Mr. Rosene will continue to provide extensions in the future.

Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers ” (“ASU 14-09”) which creates a comprehensive set of guidelines for the recognition of revenue under the principle: “Recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The requirements of ASU 14-09 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and will require either retrospective application to each prior period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. Greystone is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial position and results of operations.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”) which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The requirement of ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Greystone does not believe that the impact of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

On August 18, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements – Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting, which adds to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification^® SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC staff announcement at the June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting about the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit (LOC) arrangements. Specifically, the ASU states that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the LOC arrangement, regardless of whether there are outstanding borrowings under that LOC arrangement.

In November 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which is intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets by eliminating the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet.  Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.  The changes are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, which means the first quarter of Greystone’s fiscal year 2018.  Greystone is currently reviewing the ASU and assessing the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 10. Subsequent Event

On January 7, 2016, Greystone and IBC entered into a First Amendment to the IBC Loan Agreement that, among other things, provided for additional financing of $2,530,072 principally to finance Greystone’s acquisition of equipment that was ordered in June 2015 and delivered at the end of December 2015. The First Amendment provides for two term loans – one for $3,000,000 with monthly payments of principal and interest of $88,805 and a second for $5,447,504 with monthly payments of principal and interest of $74,657. Both notes have interest rates of the greater of prime plus 0.5% or 4% and maturity dates of January 7, 2019. In addition, the First Amendment extended the maturity of the Revolver Loan from January 31, 2016 to January 31, 2018 and deferred the requirement of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio until May 31, 2016.

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 entity, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

References to fiscal year 2016 refer to the six and three month period ended November 30, 2015. References to fiscal year 2015 refer to the six and three month period ended November 30, 2014.

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 31% and 43% of Greystone’s total sales for the six month-periods ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Personnel

Greystone had approximately 97 and 81 full-time employees as of November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Six-Month Period Ended November 30, 2015 Compared to Six-Month Period Ended November 30, 2014

Sales

Sales for fiscal year 2016 were $9,990,191 compared to $9,991,448 in fiscal year 2015 for a decrease of $1,257. Pallet sales were $9,876,955, or 99% of total sales, in fiscal year 2015 compared to $8,946,888, or 90% of total sales, in fiscal year 2015 for an increase of $930,067. Other sales included tolling services of $113,236 in fiscal year 2016 and sales in fiscal 2015 of recycled plastic resin of $948,122 and tolling services of $96,438.

Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2016 were 31% of total sales (32% of pallet sales) compared to 43% of total sales (48% of pallet sales) in fiscal year 2015. Pallet sales to the major customer decreased by approximately $1,177,000 from fiscal year 2015 to fiscal year 2016 while pallet sales to new and existing customers provided the basis for the increase in pallet sales in fiscal year 2016. Greystone’s marketing efforts are to continue to expand the customer base thereby reducing the reliance on the major customer. 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 major 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.

Plastic resin sales generally vary from period to period depending on availability of product at prices which allow Greystone to resell at reasonable margins.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in fiscal year 2016 was $8,169,150, or 82% of sales, compared to $8,997,651, or 90% of sales, in fiscal year 2015. Greystone’s production of its heavy-duty pallets increased approximately 17% for fiscal year 2016 over fiscal year 2015 with minimal change in the production of its lower-margin, lighter-weight nestable pallet. The higher ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2015 is principally due to the lower heavy-duty pallet production in fiscal year 2015 and Greystone’s inflexible production costs. In addition, sales of recycled pelletized resin, which generate minimal gross profit, were approximately 10% of total sales in fiscal year 2015 and 0% in fiscal year 2016.

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses

General, selling and administrative expenses were $1,239,468 in fiscal year 2016 compared to $1,105,942 in fiscal year 2015 for an increase of $133,526. The increase is primarily due to costs of approximately $57,000 for the development of a new pallet design and approximately $36,000 for information technology upgrades.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was $28,650 and $(215,683) in fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. The provision for (benefit from) income taxes does not include the income from the variable interest entity as the entity is not included in the income tax returns of Greystone and the taxable income of the entity is passed-through to the respective owners.

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.

Net Income (Loss)

Greystone recorded net income of $165,547 in fiscal year 2016 compared to a net loss of $(305,379) in fiscal year 2015 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net loss available to common stockholders for fiscal year 2016 was $(113,735), or $(0.00) per share, compared to $(581,623), or $(0.02) per share, in fiscal year 2015 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Three-Month Period Ended November 30, 2015 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended November 30, 2014

Sales

Sales for fiscal year 2016 were $4,420,210 compared to $3,925,077 in fiscal year 2015 for an increase of $495,133. Pallet sales were $4,310,087, or 98% of total sales, in fiscal year 2016 compared to $3,788,134, or 97% of total sales, in fiscal year 2015 for an increase of $521,953. Other sales included tolling services of $110,123 in fiscal year 2016 and sales in fiscal year 2015 from recycled plastic resin of $115,551 and tolling services of $21,392 fiscal year 2015.

Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2016 were 32% of total sales (33% of pallet sales) compared to 31% of total sales (32% of pallet sales) in fiscal year 2015. Pallet sales to the major customer increased by approximately $180,000 for fiscal year 2016 over fiscal year 2015 but the primary increase in pallet sales during fiscal year 2016 was to new and existing customers as a result of Greystone’s marketing efforts to expand the customer base. 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 major 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.

Plastic resin sales generally vary from period to period depending on availability of product at prices which allow Greystone to resell at reasonable margins.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in fiscal year 2016 was $3,539,834, or 80% of sales, compared to $4,260,438, or 109% of sales, in fiscal year 2015. Greystone’s production of its heavy-duty pallets increased approximately 32% for fiscal year 2016 over fiscal year 2015 with approximately a 11% decrease in the production of its lower-margin, lighter-weight nestable pallet. The higher ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2015 is principally due to the lower heavy-duty pallet production in fiscal year 2015 and Greystone’s inflexible production costs.

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses

General, selling and administrative expenses were $537,326 in fiscal year 2015 compared to $491,000 in fiscal year 2015 for an increase of $46,326. The increase is primarily due to an increase of approximately $17,000 in commission expense and $10,000 for information technology upgrades.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was $33,935 and $(368,383) in fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. The provision for (benefit from) does not include the income from the variable interest entity as the entity is not included in the income tax returns of Greystone and the taxable income from this entity is passed-through to the respective owners.

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.

Net Income (Loss)

Greystone recorded a net loss of $117,151 in fiscal year 2016 compared to a net loss of $(658,052) in fiscal year 2015 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

The net loss available to common stockholders for fiscal year 2016 was $(22,420), or $(0.00) per share, compared to $(796,121), or $(0.03) per share, in fiscal year 2015 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of cash flows for the six-month period ended November 30, 2015 is as follows:

The contractual obligations of Greystone are as follows:

Greystone had a working capital deficit of $(237,248) at November 30, 2015. Excluding the accrued interest payable to Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors, Greystone’s working capital at November 30, 2015 was $2,069,077. To provide for the funding to meet Greystone’s operating activities and contractual obligations as of November 30, 2015, Greystone will have to continue to produce positive operating results or explore various options including additional 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 common stock unless and until the financial position of Greystone improves through increased revenues, another financing transaction or otherwise. Pursuant to the IBC Loan Agreement, as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, Greystone may pay dividends on its preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $500,000 per year.

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 Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, 2015, which was filed on August 29, 2015. 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, 2015, 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, 2015.

During the six-month period ended November 30, 2015, 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.

Item 5. Other Information.

On January 8, 2016, Greystone Logistics, Inc. (“Greystone Logistics”), Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. (“Greystone Manufacturing,” and together with Greystone Logistics, the “Borrowers”) and International Bank of Commerce (the “Lender”) entered into a First Amendment effective as of January 7, 2016 (the “First Amendment”), to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of January 31, 2014 among the Borrowers and the Lender (the “IBC Loan Agreement”). Greystone Manufacturing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greystone Logistics.

The Borrowers entered into the First Amendment to secure additional financing of $2,530,072, which shall be principally used to finance Greystone’s acquisition of new equipment. The First Amendment provides, among other things, that the existing term loan is split into two term loans and the Borrowers issued two new promissory notes – one for $5,447,504 with monthly payments of principal and interest of $74,657 (the “Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Term Loan A)”) and a second for $3,000,000 with monthly payments of principal and interest of $88,805 (the “Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Term Loan B)”). Both notes have interest rates of the greater of prime plus 0.5% or 4% and maturity dates of January 7, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, the Borrower’s obligation with respect to its Debt Service Coverage Ratio under the IBC Loan Agreement was waived until May 31, 2016, and the maturity date of the Borrower’s existing revolver loan was extended from January 31, 2016 to January 31, 2018. Under the First Amendment, the Borrowers issued an amended and restated promissory note (revolving loan) to reflect the new maturity date (the “Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Revolving Loan)”).

The First Amendment, the Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Term Loan A), the Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Term Loan B), and the Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Revolving Loan) (collectively, the “Amended Loan Documents”) are filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.
