GREYSTONE LOGISTICS, INC.
Notes to  Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Financial Statements

In the opinion of Greystone Logistics, Inc. (“Greystone”), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of February 28, 2011, and the results of its operations for the nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 and the notes thereto included in Greystone's Form 10-K. The results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Greystone will continue as a going concern.  For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 and the two previous fiscal years, Greystone has reported net income, although Greystone has incurred losses thus far in fiscal year 2011.  Greystone believes that it has the capacity to produce sufficient plastic pallets to achieve profitability.  However, Greystone continues to be dependent on one customer. Sales to this major customer were approximately 74% of pallet sales (56% of total sales) for the nine month period ended February 28, 2011 (70%  of pallet sales for the nine month period ended February 28, 2010). To date, Greystone has received substantial advances from investors to finance its operations and will require additional substantial funding and/or personal guarantees of debt in order to attain its business plan and continue to achieve profitable operations.  Historically, management has been successful in financing its operations primarily through short-term loans and personal guarantees of bank loans by its officers and directors. Management has continued to seek long-term and/or permanent financing, and on March 15, 2011, entered into an amended bank loan agreement which provides for a three-year term on Greystone’s primary indebtedness.  While such amendment provided important near-term relief, profitable growth still requires additional capital resources. Neither the receipt of additional funding in adequate amounts nor the successful implementation of its business plan can be assured.  The combination of these factors raises substantial doubt about Greystone's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
2.  Earnings Per Share

For the three month periods and  nine month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, basic and diluted EPS are the same due to the loss attributable to common stockholders.

The following securities (rounded to thousands) were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2011 as their effect would have been antidilutive:

Total inventory
  $ 822,408     $ 649,943  
 
 
4.  Notes payable

Effective March 15, 2011, the loan agreement dated March 4, 2005 by and among Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. (GSM), GLOG Investment, L.L.C. and The F&M Bank & Trust Company was amended to renew, consolidate, increase and extend the outstanding GSM loans with the bank in the aggregate amount of $6,097,776, with monthly payments of principal in the amount of $72,593 plus accrued interest, at the interest rate equal to the bank’s base rate subject to a minimum rate of 4.5% and a maturity date of March 13, 2014.  The current portion of long-term debt reflects the debt service requirements of this amended agreement.  The amended agreement includes cross default and cross collateralization provisions with respect to loans between the bank and Greystone; Warren Kruger, President and CEO of Greystone; GLOG Investment, L.L.C., an entity owned by Warren Kruger and Robert Rosene, a member of the board of directors of Greystone; Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C., an entity owned by Warren Kruger and Robert Rosene; and Native American Plastics, L.L.C., an entity owned by an unrelated person which leases certain injection molding equipment to Greystone.

5.  Variable Interest Entity (VIE)
 
The consolidated financial statements of Greystone include Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”), formerly named Greystone Properties, L.L.C., an entity owned by Warren Kruger and Robert Rosene.  GRE owns a building located in Bettendorf, Iowa which is leased to Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C.  Effective January 15, 2011, Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. (GSM) entered into a sale and ten-year leaseback transaction with GRE with respect to GSM’s manufacturing facility located in Bettendorf, Iowa.  GRE, a party to the amended loan agreement discussed in Note 4, borrowed $2.0 million to purchase the building from which Greystone retired the pre-existing indebtedness on the facility.

 
6

 
Effective June 1, 2010, Greystone adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standard Update No. 2009-17 (“ASU 2009-17”), Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. The scope of this standard is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements.  Adoption of ASU 2009-17 resulted in the separate presentation of GRE’s assets and liabilities in Greystone’s consolidated balance sheet for all periods presented.

7.    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.
 
 
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., or GSM, and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc., or PPP, and a variable interest entity, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

References to fiscal year 2011 refer to the nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2011, as applicable.  References to fiscal year 2010 refer to the nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2010, as applicable.

Sales

Greystone's primary business is the manufacturing and selling of plastic pallets through its wholly owned subsidiary, GSM.  Greystone sells its pallets through direct sales and a network of independent contractor distributors.  Greystone also sells its pallets and pallet leasing services to certain large customers direct through its President, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing and other employees.

In addition, GSM recycles plastics by grinding, pelletizing and selling the recycled resin through an arrangement with Yorktown Management & Financial Services, L.L.C. (“Yorktown”), an entity owned by Warren Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO.  Greystone purchases its raw material from Yorktown at cost, processes it into pelletized recycled plastic and sells the pelletized recycled plastic.  Greystone also pays 40% of the gross profit received from third party sales of pelletized recycled plastic, defined as revenue less cost of material and selling commissions, to Yorktown.  Greystone intends to grow the product sales of recycled plastic.
 
7

 
Greystone’s pallet sales to one national brewer for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were approximately 74% and 70% of total pallet sales, respectively.

Personnel

Greystone had approximately 87 and 71 full-time employees as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Taxes

For all years presented, Greystone's effective tax rate is 0%.  Greystone has generated substantial net operating losses which would normally reflect a tax benefit in the statements of operations and a deferred asset on the balance sheet.  However, because of the current uncertainty as to Greystone's ability to achieve and sustain profitability, a valuation reserve has been established that offsets the amount of any tax benefit available for each period presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

Based upon a review of its income tax filing positions, Greystone believes that its positions would be sustained upon an audit by the Internal Revenue Service and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. At February 28, 2011, Greystone had no unrecognized tax benefits.

 
Nine Month Period Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended February 28, 2010
 
Sales
Sales for fiscal year 2011 were $14,253,173 compared to $11,170,768 in fiscal year 2010, for an increase of $3,082,405.  Pallet sales were $10,730,570 in fiscal year 2011 compared to $11,170,768 in fiscal year 2010 for a decrease of $440,198. Greystone’s pallet sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2011 were 74% of total pallet sales compared to 70% of total pallet sales in fiscal year 2010.    Repairs and maintenance of production equipment during the period was the primary reason for the decline in pallet sales.

Sales of recycled plastic resin were $3,522,603 in fiscal year 2011 compared to no sales of recycled resin in fiscal year 2010.

Pallet sales to Greystone’s major customer are generally based on the customer’s needs 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 and increase its customer base.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales in fiscal year 2011 was $13,120,654, or 92% of sales, compared to $9,136,907, or 82% of sales in fiscal year 2010.  The increase in the ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2011 over fiscal year 2010 is due to (1) inelastic labor and manufacturing overhead costs for pallet production during a period of reduced product volume and (2) the lower profit margin for recycled plastic resin as compared to the gross margin for pallet sales. The profit margin for resin sales was approximately nil in fiscal year 2011 due to pricing, production costs and the fees (40% of revenue less material, freight and commissions) paid or accrued to Yorktown Management, LLC, an entity owned by Warren Kruger, President and CEO of Greystone.  Greystone’s business plan is to increase resin sales with improved profit margins toward the realization of a positive gross margin. Yorktown’s share of gross profits from resin sales totaled approximately $339,000 in fiscal year 2011.
 
Other Income
 
Other income decreased $29,400 from $32,000 in fiscal year 2010 to $2,600 in fiscal year 2011.  Other income in fiscal year 2010 is from the amortization of deferred income which was fully amortized in fiscal year 2010.

Net Loss
 
Greystone recorded net loss of $(947,894) in fiscal year 2011 compared to $(2,197) in fiscal year 2010 for the reasons discussed above.

Net  Loss Available to Common Stockholders
 
After deducting preferred dividends and income from non-controlling interest, the net loss available to common stockholders was $(1,269,364), or $(0.05) per share, in fiscal year 2011 compared to net loss available to common stockholders of $(306,688), or $(0.01) per share, in fiscal year 2010 for the reasons discussed above.

Sales for fiscal year 2011 were $4,206,092 compared to $3,544,522 in fiscal year 2010 for an increase of $661,570.  Pallet sales were $3,425,976 in fiscal year 2011 compared to $3,544,522 in fiscal year 2010 for a decrease of $118,546. Greystone’s sales to its major customer in fiscal year 2011 were 69% of total pallet sales compared to 72% of total pallet sales in fiscal year 2010.    Repairs and maintenance of production equipment during the period was the primary reason for the decline in pallet sales.

Sales of recycled plastic resin were approximately $780,116 in fiscal year 2011 compared to no sales of recycled resin in fiscal year 2010.   Recycled plastic resin sales declined $707,794, or 48%, from sales of $1,487,910 during the preceding three month period ended November 30, 2010 due to quality issues with raw materials.  As a result, Greystone implemented additional procedures to verify the quality of purchased raw materials.

Pallet sales to Greystone’s major customer are generally based on the customer’s needs 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 and increase its customer base.

Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales in fiscal year 2011was $3,600,831, or 86% of sales, compared to $2,958,816, or 84% of sales, in fiscal year 2010.  The increase in the ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2011 over fiscal year 2010 is due to (1) inelastic manufacturing costs for pallet production during a period of reduced product volume and (2) the lower profit margin for recycled plastic resin as compared to the gross margin for pallet sales. The profit margin for resin sales was approximately nil in fiscal year 2011 due to pricing, production costs and the fees (40% of revenue less material, freight and commissions) paid or accrued to Yorktown Management, LLC, an entity owned by Warren Kruger, President and CEO of Greystone.  Greystone’s business plan is to increase resin sales with improved profit margins toward the realization of a positive gross margin. Yorktown’s share of gross profits from resin sales totaled approximately $85,000 in fiscal year 2011.

Net Loss
 
Greystone recorded net loss of $(101,558) in fiscal year 2011 compared to $(76,298) in fiscal year 2010 for the reasons discussed above.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
 
After deducting preferred dividends and income attributable to non-controlling interests, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(218,689), or $(0.01) per share, in fiscal year 2011 compared to $(177,106), or $(0.01) per share, in fiscal year 2010 for the reasons discussed above.

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, 2011. While the amendment to the loan agreement provided important near-term relief, Greystone will require additional cash to achieve growth and to meet Greystone's contractual obligations, and 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.

Greystone had a working capital deficit of $8,403,835 at February 28, 2011, which includes the current portion of long-term debt of $3,557,260 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,388,526. The working capital deficit at February 28, 2011 decreased $4,209,786 from the working capital deficit of $12,613,621 at May 31, 2010 due primarily to the refinancing of loans with F&M Bank.  The working capital deficit reflects the uncertain financial condition of Greystone resulting from its limitations on its ability to obtain long-term financing.  There is no assurance that Greystone will secure such long-term financing.

Substantially all of the financing that Greystone has received through February 28, 2011 has been provided by loans or through loan guarantees from the officers and directors of Greystone, the offerings of preferred stock to current and former officers and directors of Greystone in fiscal years 2001 and 2003 and a private placement of common stock completed in March 2005.

Greystone continues to be dependent upon its officers and directors to provide and/or secure additional financing and there is no assurance that its officers and directors will continue to do so.  As such, there is no assurance that funding will be available for Greystone to continue operations.

Greystone has 50,000 outstanding shares of cumulative 2003 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $5,000,000 and a preferred dividend rate of the prime rate of interest plus 3.25%.  Greystone does not anticipate that it will make cash dividend payments to any holders of its preferred stock or its common stock unless and until the financial position of Greystone improves through increased revenues, another financing transaction or otherwise.

Forward Looking Statements and Material Risks

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws.  All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Greystone expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including decreased costs, securing financing, the profitability of Greystone, potential sales of pallets or other possible business developments, are forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could be affected by any of the following factors: Greystone's prospects could be affected by changes in availability of raw materials, competition, rapid technological change and new legislation regarding environmental matters; Greystone may not be able to secure additional financing necessary to sustain and grow its operations; and a material portion of Greystone's business is and will be dependent upon a few large customers and there is no assurance that Greystone will be able to retain such customers.  These risks and other risks that could affect Greystone's business are more fully described in Greystone's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, which was filed on September 14, 2010.  Actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements.  Greystone undertakes no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Greystone carried out an evaluation under the supervision of Greystone's Chief Executive Officer and 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, 2010, Warren F. Kruger, Greystone's Chief Executive Officer, and William W. Rahhal, Greystone’s Chief Financial Officer, identified two material weaknesses.  As a result of these two material weaknesses, Greystone’s CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Greystone did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011. The material weaknesses as of February 28, 2011 were as follows:
 
1. Greystone does not have a risk assessment process for identifying and mitigating risks that financial statements may be materially misstated and lacks the necessary corporate accounting resources to maintain adequate segregation of duties. Reliance on these limited resources impairs Greystone’s ability to provide for proper segregation of duties and the ability to ensure consistently complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures.

2. Greystone has limited resources to ensure that necessary internal controls are implemented and followed throughout the company. Because of this limitation with respect to the ability to allocate sufficient resources to internal controls and the lack of an audit committee and a well-defined communication process, material misstatements could occur and remain undetected, implementation of new accounting standards could be hindered and risk assessment and monitoring may not be addressed in a timely manner.

During the quarter ended February 28, 2011, 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.
