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 August 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2014 and 2013.  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, 2014 and the notes thereto included in Greystone's Form 10-K for such period. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 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 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 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.  For the three months ended August 31, 2014, and 2013, equity instruments which have been excluded are Greystone’s convertible preferred stock which is convertible into 3,333,334 shares of common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013:

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.  Yorktown also owns a plastic grinding and wash line facility used to recycle plastic into usable raw material which Greystone may purchase at market prices.  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 $2,000.

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. GSM paid Yorktown total equipment rental fees of $357,500 and $385,260 for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Greystone pays the labor on behalf of Yorktown’s Tulsa, Oklahoma grinding operation. These costs are invoiced to Yorktown on a monthly basis. As of August 31, 2014, Yorktown owes Greystone $260,109 primarily from the aforementioned labor costs incurred by Greystone on behalf of Yorktown.

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.
 
 
6

 
 
The Revolving Loan bears interest at the New York Prime Rate plus 0.5% but not less than 4.0% and matures January 31, 2016.  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 may be reborrowed by the Borrowers. The proceeds from the Revolving Loan will be used for general working capital purposes.
 
The Term Loan bears interest at 4.5% per annum and matures January 31, 2019.  The Borrowers are required to make equal monthly payments $171,760 towards principal and interest to amortize the principal balance over the term of the loan.
 
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 (A) a one-time payment of accrued preferred dividends to holders of its preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $3,470,000 within 10 days of the date of the IBC Loan Agreement, and (B) 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 August 31, 2014 was 1:16 to 1:00 which was less than the required minimum as discussed above.  IBC has been notified of the noncompliant ratio and has granted Greystone a waiver with respect to this occurrence 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 loans with interest and any unpaid accrued fees.

 
7

 
 
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 6.                      Stock Compensation Costs

Stock compensation costs, resulting from stock options issued June 1, 2012, were $13,356 for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The unexpensed cost at August 31, 2014 totaled $93,492.

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 59% and 69% of Greystone’s pallet sales and 51% and 69% of Greystone’s total sales for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 August 31, 2014, Greystone is indebted to Mr. Rosene in the amount of $3,977,266 for a note payable and related accrued interest due January 15, 2015.  There is no assurance that Mr. Rosene will continue to provide extensions in the future.

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 2015 refer to the three month period ended August 31, 2014.  References to fiscal year 2014 refer to the three month period ended August 31, 2013.

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 59% and 69% of Greystone’s pallet sales and 51% and 69% of Greystone’s total sales in fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Personnel

Greystone had approximately 80 and 78 full-time employees as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Sales

Sales for fiscal year 2015 were $6,066,371 compared to $6,510,917 in fiscal year 2014 for a decrease of $­­­­­444,546.  Pallet sales were $5,173,104, or 85% of total sales, in fiscal year 2015 compared to $6,510,917, or 100% of total sales, in fiscal year 2014 for a decrease of $1,337,813. Sales of recycled plastic resin were $893,267 in fiscal year 2015 compared to $-0- in fiscal year 2014.

Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2015 were 59% of total pallet sales compared to 69% of total pallet sales in fiscal year 2014.  The decrease in pallet sales to this major customer is the primary reason for the decline in pallet sales in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014. 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.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in fiscal year 2015 was $4,737,213, or 78% of sales, compared to $4,365,545, or 67% of sales, in fiscal year 2014.  The increase in the ratio of cost of sales to sales from fiscal year 2015 over fiscal year 2014 is primarily due to Greystone’s inflexible pallet production costs. Greystone’s direct labor and production overhead costs for pallet production decreased approximately 5% from fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2015 while pallet production decreased approximately 25%. In addition, nestable pallet sales, which have a lower gross margin than non-nestable pallets, were approximately 18% of pallet sales in fiscal year 2015 compared to 13% in fiscal year 2014.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was $152,700 and $(237,000) in fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The benefit from income taxes for fiscal year 2014 was the result of a decrease in the amount of valuation allowance management considered necessary in determining the amount of tax benefit that will be utilized from net operating losses (NOLs) originating from prior years. As of May 31, 2014, Greystone had no valuation allowances on outstanding NOLs and, accordingly, there was no such tax benefit available for the consolidated statement of income for fiscal year 2015.

Until the NOLs are fully realized for income tax purposes, management will continue to evaluate the extent that a valuation allowance is needed.  Factors that management will consider, among others, are continued diversity in Greystone’s customer base and stability in its sales volumes.

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 $352,673 in fiscal year 2015 compared to $1,584,878 in fiscal year 2014 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net income available to common stockholders for fiscal year 2015 was $214,498, or $0.01 per share, compared to $1,448,652, or $0.06 per share, in fiscal year 2014 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2014 is as follows:
 
Cash provided by operating activities                                                                   $ 1,443,848

Cash used in investing activities                                                                               (443,000)

Cash used in financing activities                                                                               (808,478)

Greystone had a working capital deficit of $(1,472,954) at August 31, 2014.  Excluding the note payable and accrued interest payable to Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors, Greystone’s working capital at August 31, 2014 was $2,504,312.  To provide for the funding to meet Greystone's operating activities and contractual obligations as of August 31, 2014, 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, 2014, which was filed on August 29, 2014.  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, 2014, 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 August 31, 2014.
 
During the three-month period ended August 31, 2014, 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.
