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 attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable 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. Instruments which have an anti-dilutive effect at August 31 are as follows:

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and 2018:

Note 6. Long-term Debt

Debt as of August 31, 2019 and May 31, 2019 is as follows:

The prime rate of interest as of August 31, 2019 was 5.25%. Effective September 18, 2019, the prime rate of interest decreased to 5.00%.

Loan Agreement between Greystone and IBC

The Loan Agreement (“IBC Loan Agreement”), dated January 31, 2014 and as amended from time to time, among Greystone and GSM (the “Borrowers”) and International Bank of Commerce (“IBC”) provides for certain term loans and a revolver loan.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Borrowers and IBC entered into the Tenth Amendment to the IBC Loan Agreement providing for Term Loan H in the amount of $672,000 with a maturity date of January 1, 2022, for the procurement of production equipment.

The IBC term loans make equal monthly payments of principal and interest in such amounts sufficient to amortize the principal balance as follows: (i) Term Loan A over a seven-year period beginning February 29, 2016 (currently $77,550 per month), (ii) Term Loan C over a seven-year period beginning August 31, 2017 (currently $25,205 per month) and (iii) Term Loan D over a four-year period beginning February 10, 2019 (currently $57,469 per month), (iv) Term Loan E over a four-year period beginning February 10, 2019 (currently $23,060 per month), (v) Term Loan F over a five-year period beginning February 28, 2019 (currently $68,849 per month), (vi) Term Loan G over a fifteen-year period beginning April 30, 2019 (currently $7,466 per month) and (vii) Term Loan H over 30 months beginning August 1, 2019 (currently $24,203 per month). The monthly payments of principal and interest on the IBC term loans may vary as a result of changes in the prime rate of interest.

The IBC Loan Agreement, as amended, provides a revolving loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan”). The amount which can be borrowed from time to time is dependent upon the amount of the borrowing base not to exceed $4,000,000. The Revolving Loan bears interest at the greater of the prime rate of interest plus 0.5%, or 5.50% and matures January 31, 2021. The Borrowers are required to pay all interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan on a monthly basis. Any principal on the Revolving Loan that is prepaid by the Borrowers does not reduce the original amount available to the Borrowers.

The IBC Loan Agreement, among other things, requires a quarterly affirmation that the Borrowers have maintained a debt service coverage ratio of 1:25 to 1:00. As of August 31, 2019, Greystone was not in compliance with this debt service coverage ratio. IBC has issued a waiver, dated August 26, 2019, with respect to this event of noncompliance.

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 notes 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 August 10, 2018, GRE and IBC entered into an amended agreement to extend the maturity of the note to April 30, 2023 and increase the interest rate to 5.5%. The note 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 an unsecured note payable at 7.5% interest.

Effective June 1, 2016, the note was restated (the “Restated Note”) to combine the outstanding principal, $2,066,000, and accrued interest, $2,475,690, into an unsecured note payable of $4,541,690 with an extended maturity date of January 15, 2021. The Restated Note provides that accrued interest is payable monthly and allows Greystone to use commercially reasonable efforts to pay such amounts as allowed by the IBC Loan Agreement against the interest accrued prior to the restatement. The balance of the note at August 31, 2019 was $4,383,429.

Maturities

Maturities of Greystone’s long-term debt for the five years subsequent to August 31, 2019 are $3,385,019, $10,932,978, $3,570,812, $3,317,357 and $1,048,902.

Note 7. Leases

Effective June 1, 2019, Greystone adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), utilizing the modified-retrospective transition approach. which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The standard requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. We elected to use the transition option that allows us to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. Comparable periods reflect the new guidance under ASC 842. The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in any adjustments to retained earnings.

In accordance with ASC 842, Greystone has made accounting policy elections (1) to not apply the new standard to lessee arrangements with a term of twelve months or less and (2) to combine lease and non-lease components. The non-lease components are not material and do not result in significant timing differences in the recognition of lease expense. In addition, Greystone elected the practical expedients upon adoption which permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Depending on the terms, leases are classified as either operating or finance leases.

Financing Leases

Financing leases as of August 31, 2019 and May 31, 2019:

Greystone and an unrelated private company entered into three lease agreements for certain production equipment with a total cost of approximately $6.9 million which were effective February 24, 2018, August 2, 2018 and December 21, 2018, respectively, with five-year terms and a capitalized interest rate of 7.4%. Each of the lease agreements include a bargain purchase option to acquire the production equipment at the end of the lease term. The leased equipment is principally used to produce pallets for the private company. Lease payments are made as a credit on the sales invoice at the rate of $3.32 for each pallet produced and shipped from the respective leased equipment. The estimated aggregate monthly rental payments are approximately $168,000. The rent payments can vary each month depending on the quantity of pallets produced from each machine. Due to improvements in the production process, pallet production has increased since May 31, 2019 thereby resulting in an increase in the estimated aggregate future rental payments. The lease agreements provide for minimum monthly lease rental payments based upon the total pallets sold in excess of a specified amount not to exceed the monthly productive capacity of the leased machines.

Effective December 28, 2018, Yorktown purchased certain production equipment from Greystone at net book value of $968,168 and entered into a lease agreement with Greystone for the equipment with a monthly rent of $27,915 for the initial thirty-six months and $7,695 for the following twelve months and maturing December 27, 2022. The lease agreement has a $10,000 purchase option at the end of the lease.

The production equipment under the non-cancelable financing leases has a gross carrying amount of $7,861,233 at August 31, 2019. Amortization of the carrying amount of $208,157 and $208,245 was included in depreciation expense for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Operating Leases

Greystone recognize a lease liability for each lease based on the present value of remaining minimum fixed rental payments, using a discount rate that approximates the rate of interest for a collateralized loan over a similar term. A right-of-use asset, reported in property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets, is recognized for each lease, valued at the lease liability. Minimum fixed rental payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as costs and expenses on the consolidated statement of income. Variable and short-term rental payments are recognized as costs and expenses as they are incurred.

Greystone has three non-cancellable operating leases for (i) equipment with a fifty-two month term and a forty-eight month term and a discount rate of 5.40% and (ii) office space on a sixty month term and a discount rate of 5.0%. The leases are single-term with constant monthly rental rates.

Lease Summary Information

For the periods ending August 31, 2019 and 2018:

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases as of August 31, 2019, are approximately:

Note 8. Deferred Revenue

Advances from a customer pursuant to a contract for the sale of plastic pallets is recognized as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized by Greystone as pallets are shipped to the customer. Customer advances totaled $-0- and $3,280,500 during the three months ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The unrecognized balance of deferred revenue at August 31, 2019 and May 31, 2019, was $2,201,067, respectively.

Note 9. Revenue and Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the time a good or service is transferred to a customer and the customer obtains control of that good or receives the service performed. Sales arrangements with customers are short-term in nature involving single performance obligations related to the delivery of goods and generally provide for transfer of control at the time of shipment. In limited circumstances, where acceptance of the goods is subject to approval by the customer, revenue is recognized upon approval by the customer unless, historically, there have been insignificant rejections of goods by the customer. Contract liabilities associated with sales arrangements primarily relate to deferred revenue on prepaid sales of goods. Greystone generally permits returns of product due to defects; however, product returns are historically insignificant.

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which Greystone expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for its products. The following steps are applied in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition:

Greystone’s principal product is plastic pallets produced from recycled plastic resin. Sales are primarily to customers in the continental United States of America. International sales are made to customers in Canada and Mexico which totaled approximately $105,000 and $170,000 in fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Greystone’s customers include stocking and non-stocking distributors and direct sales to end-user customers. Sales to the following categories of customers for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were as follows:

Note 10. 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 notes with floating rates of interest approximate fair value. Fixed rate notes are valued based on cash flows using estimated rates of comparable notes. The carrying amounts reported on the balance sheets approximate fair value.

Note 11. Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties

Greystone derived approximately 87% and 84% of its total sales from three customers in fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. The loss of a material amount of business from one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on Greystone.

Greystone purchases damaged pallets from its customers at a price based on the value of the raw material content in the pallet. A majority of these purchases, totaling $561,657 and $392,272 in fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively, is from one of its major customers.

Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a Greystone director, has provided financing and guarantees on Greystone’s bank debt. As of August 31, 2019, Greystone is indebted to Mr. Rosene in the amount of $4,383,429 for a note payable due January 15, 2021. There is no assurance that Mr. Rosene will renew the note as of the maturity date.

Note 12. Commitments

At August 31, 2019, Greystone had commitments totaling $2,484,278 toward the purchase of production equipment.

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., and 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 2020 refer to the three months ended August 31, 2019. References to fiscal year 2019 refer to the three months ended August 31, 2018.

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.

Personnel

Greystone had approximately 237 and 211 full-time employees as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Three Months Ended August 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended August 31, 2018

Sales

Sales for fiscal year 2020 were $18,664,509 compared to $18,206,110 in fiscal year 2019 for an increase of $458,399. The increase in pallet sales in fiscal year 2020 over 2019 was primarily due to the sales growth with the pallet leasing company and sales to a new customer.

Sales to Greystone’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 87% and 84% of sales in fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. Greystone is not able to predict the future needs of these major customers and will continue its efforts to grow sales through the addition of new customers developed through Greystone’s marketing efforts.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in fiscal year 2020 was $16,303,734, or 87% of sales, compared to $15,760,152, or 87% of sales, in fiscal year 2019. Greystone has realized substantial improvements in pallet production as a result of installation on two machines of hardware and software to improve the flow of resin into molds. Based on the positive results, this product has been ordered to install on the remaining machines.

Other scheduled initiatives to facilitate improvements to the ratio of cost of sales to sales were unable to be completed during the quarter ended August 31, 2019, which included resolution of certain machine and mold issues, completion of additional capacity for grinding and pelletizing, and implementation of robotics on two production line. Greystone plans to complete these initiatives throughout fiscal year 2020.

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses

General, selling and administrative expenses were $1,077,598, or 6% of sales, in fiscal year 2020 compared to $939,091, or 5% of sales, for an increase of $138,507 or 15%. The increase in fiscal year 2020 over fiscal year 2019 results principally from increased costs for administrative personnel.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other income was $2,033 in fiscal year 2020 compared to $2,269 in fiscal year 2019.

Interest expense was $480,911 in fiscal year 2020 compared to $412,628 in fiscal year 2019 for an increase of $68,283. The prime rate of interest was 5.50% during most of fiscal year 2020, until the rate decreased to 5.25% on August 1, 2019, compared to 5.00% at August 31, 2018.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $185,000 and $331,600 in fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from federal statutory rates due to net income from GRE which, as a limited liability company of which Greystone has no equity ownership, is not taxed at the corporate level, charges which have no tax benefit and changes in the valuation allowance.

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

Greystone recorded net income of $619,299 in fiscal year 2020 compared to $764,908 in fiscal year 2019 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

The net income attributable to common stockholders for fiscal year 2020 was $442,250, or $0.02 per share, compared $601,388, or $0.02 per share, in fiscal year 2019 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2019 is as follows:

The contractual obligations of Greystone are as follows:

Greystone had a working capital deficit of $(3,846,239) at August 31, 2019. To provide for the funding to meet Greystone’s operating activities and contractual obligations as of August 31, 2019, 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.

Effective July 1, 2019, Greystone and IBC entered into an amendment to the IBC Loan Agreement dated January 31, 2014 which provided for new funding in the amount of $672,000 to purchase production equipment.

Substantially all of the financing that Greystone has received through the last few fiscal years resulted primarily from bank notes which are guaranteed by certain officers and directors of Greystone and, formerly, from loans provided 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 6 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, 2019, which was filed on August 29, 2019. 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, 2019, Warren F. Kruger, Greystone’s Chief Executive Officer, and William W. Rahhal, Greystone’s Chief Financial Officer, identified no material weakness in Greystone’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result, Greystone’s CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of Greystone’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of August 31, 2019.
