PART I.

Item 1.     Business.

Organization

Greystone Logistics, Inc. ("Greystone" or the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on February 24, 1969, under the name Permaspray Manufacturing Corporation.  It changed its name to Browning Enterprises Inc. in April 1982, to Cabec Energy Corp. in June 1993, to PalWeb Corporation in April 1999 and became Greystone Logistics, Inc. in March 2005 as further described below.   In December 1997, Greystone acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Plastic Pallet Production, Inc., a Texas corporation ("PPP"), and since that time, Greystone has primarily been engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling plastic pallets.

Effective   September 8, 2003, Greystone acquired substantially all of the assets of Greystone Plastics, Inc., an Iowa corporation, through the purchase of such assets by Greystone's newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company ("GSM").  Greystone Plastics, Inc. was a manufacturer of plastic pallets used in the beverage industry.

Effective March 18, 2005, Greystone caused its newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Greystone Logistics, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, to be merged with and into Greystone.  In connection with such merger and as of the effective time of the merger, Greystone amended its certificate of incorporation by changing its name to Greystone Logistics, Inc., pursuant to the terms of the certificate of ownership and merger filed by Greystone with the Secretary of State of Oklahoma.  Also in connection with such merger, Greystone amended its bylaws to change its name to Greystone Logistics, Inc.

Current Business

Products

Greystone's primary business is the manufacturing of plastic pallets utilizing recycled plastic and selling the pallets through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, 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 and other employees. As of May 31, 2012, Greystone had an aggregate production capacity of approximately 70,000 pallets per month.

·  
Mid-duty (TM) Flat Deck – This pallet is the same as the Mid-duty (TM) picture frame, except it has a solid top and weighs 63 lbs.

The principal raw materials used in manufacturing Greystone's plastic pallets are in abundant supply, and some of these materials may be obtained from recycled plastic containers. At the present time, these materials are being purchased from local, national and international suppliers.

Other Business

In January 2010, Greystone started actively selling recycled plastic that has been reprocessed into pellet form. Under an agreement with Yorktown Management & Financial Services, L.L.C., an entity owned by Warren Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO, Greystone provides the cost of processing raw material into pelletized recycled plastic and purchases the raw material from Yorktown at cost.  Greystone pays 40% of the gross profit, defined as revenue less cost of material and selling commissions, to Yorktown.  Greystone intends to grow the product sales of recycled plastic.

Pallet Industry

Pallets are devices used for moving and storing freight. A pallet is used as a base for assembling, storing, stacking, handling, and transporting goods as a unit load.  A pallet is so constructed to facilitate the placement of a lift truck’s forks between the levels of a platform so it may be moved easily.

Pallets are used worldwide for the transportation of goods and they are primarily made of wood. There are an estimated 1.9 to 2.0 billion pallets in circulation daily in the United States (an estimated 97% wood pallets and 3% plastic or other pallets).  In 2004, the William H. Sardo Jr. Pallet and Container Research Laboratory at Virginia Tech University, under the direction of Dr. Marshall S. “Mark” White, estimated total pallet annual production in the United States at 814 million broken down as follows:
 
·
500 million new wood pallets
·  
300 million repaired and used wood pallets
·  
8.3 million plastic pallets
·  
5.5 million corrugated paperboard pallets
·  
1.1 million metal pallets

According to the National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA), approximately 4.5 billion board feet of hardwood lumber is used annually for containers and pallets, which is almost 40% of all hardwood produced in the U.S.  According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency deforestation is a significant contributor to global carbon dioxide gas emissions.  Deforestation leads to CO2 emissions because the carbon sequestered in trees is emitted into the atmosphere and not counter-balanced by re-growth of new trees.

A wood container and pallet manufacturing industry report by Supplier Relations US estimated revenue for the year 2009 was approximately $6.7 billion with a gross profit of 21.11%.  The wood pallet and container industry is by no means concentrated, with roughly 2,500 – 3,000 pallet manufacturers and recyclers in operation. The estimated breakdown of wood pallet manufacturers is as follows:
 
·  
44% manufacture new pallets only
·  
47% manufacture new pallets and recovered use pallets (repair)
·  
9% manufacture recovered use pallets only
 
Estimates of wood pallet manufacturing industry capacity utilization was at less than 60% in 2000 (Source: Sardo Laboratory).  According to the 2007 Economic Census, wood pallet and container manufacturers are rather small, totaling just 2,638 companies with a total of 58,467 employees.  Only 65 of these companies reported more than 100 employees and more than 2,000 of these companies reported less than 20 employees.  A typical company in this sector has only one establishment.  Capital investment in the industry was estimated in 2007 at $238,456 million.  Recent U.S. Census Bureau statistics also reports the value of shipments has increased almost 45% over the period from 2000 – 2008, or at an annual growth of 5%.

IBIS World forecasts modest industry growth over the next few years with little change in industry structure.  Greystone believes that a gradual shifting from wood pallets to plastic pallets will take place over time.  A June 2008 Freedonia Industrial report estimated the demand for wood pallets in 1997 was 1.112 billion and 1.105 billion in 2007.  At the same time, the demand for plastic pallets was 85 million in 1997 and 117 million in 2007.  Freedonia estimates that the demand for wood pallets will grow to 1.160 billion by 2012 and demand for plastic pallets to grow to 132 million.  Because of the lack of concentration among wood pallet manufacturers, there is a lesser risk of coordinated response (price, performance) against the penetration of plastic pallets. Wood is also a resource which faces environmental pressures (logging issues) as well as possible substantial overseas demand (China).

The largest industry users of pallets such as the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, beverage and dairy industries are populated with large public or private entities for which profitable financial performance is paramount.  The operating issues presented by wood pallets have been tolerated to date as there has been no viable alternative in sufficient size for replacement.

Types of Pallets

There are over 400 different pallet sizes used by companies in the United States.  Some of the most common sizes used in the U.S. according to the American National Standard/MH1 (2005) are listed below:
 
Pallet Type
 
Pallet Size
 
Share of Annual
Production (%)
Grocery
 
48 X 40”
 
30.0
Chemical
 
42 X 42’
 
5.7
Military
 
40 X 48”
 
4.0
Beverage
 
36 X 36”
 
3.0
Dairy
 
40 X 40”
 
3.0

The most common size pallet is the 48 x 40” 4-way pallet or otherwise referred to as the GMA (Grocery Manufacturer Association) pallet, sometimes known in the industry as the “GMA Pallet,” “The GMA Pallet,” “GMA 48 x 40 Pallet,” or “GMA Block Pallet.” The GMA acts as a commodity in the pallet industry, as price is often determined by availability.  As wood pallets move through their life cycle from a new pallet to a used pallet, they are repaired and put back in service until they are land filled or used as wood compost.
 
Pallets are the primary interface between the packaged product and today’s highly automated material handling equipment. Currently, approximately 90% of the U.S. domestic product is shipped on pallets. Although pallets are not the most glamorous part of the warehouse, they are important because users have expectations based on specifications and wood pallets lack critical manufacturing details that determine performance. The end user becomes frustrated when these pallets do not perform to expectation. Shipments can be damaged or rejected entirely resulting in significant product and revenue losses.  This angst is aggravated when new multi-million dollar automated systems are in use.

During the past two decades both timber prices and landfill fees have increased and have compelled businesses to modify the way pallets are managed. Businesses can evaluate and improve their pallet management systems and reduce associated waste by utilizing plastic recycled pallets.

Greystone’s management believes that the trend will continue to switch from wood to plastic, with the only limiting factor being price. Greystone intends to conduct research on pallet design strength and coefficient of friction and the materials used to make the plastic pallets as required to meet market demands.

Employees

As of May 31, 2012, Greystone had 94 full-time employees and used a temporary personnel service to provide additional production personnel as needed.

Marketing and Customers

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 also sells its pallets and pallet leasing services to certain large customers direct through contract distributors and its President and other employees.

Greystone derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a national brewer.  This customer accounted for approximately 59% and 56% of sales in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The design of Greystone’s recycled plastic pallets are approved for use by the brewery and are the only plastic pallets in use for case goods at the current time  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.

Competition

Greystone's primary competitors are a large number of small, privately held firms that sell wood pallets in very limited geographic locations.  Greystone believes that it can compete with manufacturers of wood pallets by emphasizing the cost savings realized over the longer life of its plastic pallets as well as the environmental benefits of its plastic pallets as compared to wood pallets.  Greystone also competes with three large and approximately ten small manufacturers of plastic pallets.  Some of Greystone's competitors may have substantially greater financial and other resources than Greystone and, therefore, may be able to commit greater resources than Greystone in such areas of product development, manufacturing and marketing.  However, Greystone believes that its proprietary designs coupled with the competitive pricing of its products gives Greystone a competitive advantage over other plastic pallet manufacturers.

Government Regulation

The business operations of Greystone are subject to existing and potential federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations pertaining to the handling and disposition of wastes (including solid and hazardous wastes) or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.  In addition, both the plastics industry and Greystone are subject to existing and potential federal, state, local and foreign legislation designed to reduce solid wastes by requiring, among other things, plastics to be degradable in landfills, minimum levels of recycled content, various recycling requirements, disposal fees and limits on the use of plastic products.

Patents and Trademarks

Greystone seeks to protect its technical advances by pursuing national and international patent protection for its products and methods when appropriate.

Greystone has access to a patent-pending CJ 2 (TM) fire retardant formula licensed from Westgate Capital Company, L.L.C. ("WCC"), a company of which Greystone's President and CEO is a member, in connection with the potential production of fire retardant plastic pallets.  Pallets produced with CJ 2 (TM) fire retardant have met UL 2335 classification requirements with respect to fire retardancy.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes "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 statements concern Greystone's plans, expectations and objectives for future operations.  All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-K that address activities, events or developments that Greystone expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.  The words "believe," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements include, among others, such things as:

•           expansion and growth of Greystone's business and operations;
•           future financial performance;
•           future acquisitions and developments;
•           potential sales of products;
•           future financing activities; and
•           business strategy.

These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that Greystone believes are reasonable based on current expectations and projections about future events and industry conditions and trends affecting Greystone's business.  However, whether actual results and developments will conform to Greystone's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed under the section of this Form 10-K entitled "Risk Factors."  In addition, Greystone's historical financial performance is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future and Greystone believes that such comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

 
- 12 -

 
Risk Factors

Greystone has attained operating profits and positive cash flow from operating activities but there is no assurance that it will be able to sustain profitability.

Greystone was incorporated on February 24, 1969.  From April 1993 to December 1997, Greystone was engaged in various businesses, including the business of exploration, production, and development of oil and gas properties in the continental United States and the operation of a related service business.  In December 1997, Greystone acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Plastic Pallet Production, Inc., and its principal business changed to selling plastic pallets.  Since such time, Greystone incurred losses from operations from its inception through fiscal year 2007.  However, the results of Greystone’s operations for the fiscal years after fiscal year 2007 showed an operating profit and positive cash flows from operations with the exception of fiscal year 2011 for which Greystone incurred a loss but had positive operating income and positive cash flows from operations.  There is no assurance that Greystone will maintain a positive operating profit or otherwise obtain funds to finance capital and debt service requirements.

Greystone has granted security interests in substantially all of its assets in connection with certain debt financings and other transactions.

In connection with certain debt financings and other transactions, Greystone has granted third parties security interests in substantially all of its assets pursuant to agreements entered into with such third parties.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default under such agreements, the secured parties may enforce their rights and Greystone may lose all or a portion of its assets.  As a result, Greystone could be forced to materially reduce its business activities or cease operations.

Greystone's business could be affected by changes in availability of raw materials.

Greystone uses a proprietary mix of raw materials to produce its plastic pallets.  Such raw materials are generally readily available and some may be obtained from a broad range of  recycled plastic suppliers and unprocessed waste plastic.  At the present time, these materials are being purchased from local, national and international suppliers.  The availability of Greystone's raw materials could change at any time for various reasons.  For example, the market demand for Greystone's raw materials could suddenly increase, or the rate at which plastic materials are recycled could decrease, affecting both availability and price.  Additionally, the laws and regulations governing the production of plastics and the recycling of plastic containers could change and, as a result, affect the supply of Greystone's raw materials.  Any interruption in the supply of raw materials or components could have a material adverse effect on Greystone.  Furthermore, certain potential alternative suppliers may have pre-existing exclusive relationships with Greystone's competitors and others that may preclude Greystone from obtaining raw materials from such suppliers.

 
- 13 -

 
Greystone's business could be affected by competition and rapid technological change.

Greystone currently faces competition from many companies that produce wooden pallets at prices that are substantially lower than the prices Greystone charges for its plastic pallets and other companies that manufacture plastic pallets.  It is anticipated that the plastic pallet industry will be subject to intense competition and rapid technological change.  Greystone could potentially face additional competition from recycling and plastics companies, many of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than Greystone and, therefore, are able to spend more than Greystone in areas such as product development, manufacturing and marketing.  Competitors may develop products that render Greystone's products or proposed products uneconomical or result in products being commercialized that may be superior to Greystone's products.  In addition, alternatives to plastic pallets could be developed, which would have a material adverse effect on Greystone.

Greystone is dependent on one large customer.

Greystone derives, and expects that in the foreseeable future it will continue to derive, a large portion of its revenue from a few large customers.  A single customer currently accounts for approximately 59% of its sales in fiscal year 2012 (56% in fiscal year 2011).  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 would have a material adverse effect on Greystone.

Greystone may not be able to effectively protect Greystone's patents and proprietary rights.

Greystone relies upon a combination of patents and trade secrets to protect its proprietary technology, rights and know-how.  There can be no assurance that such patent rights will not be infringed upon, that Greystone's trade secrets will not otherwise become known to or independently developed by competitors, that non-disclosure agreements will not be breached, or that Greystone would have adequate remedies for any such infringement or breach.  Litigation may be necessary to enforce Greystone's proprietary rights or to defend Greystone against third-party claims of infringement.  Such litigation could result in substantial cost to, and a diversion of effort by, Greystone and its management and may have a material adverse effect on Greystone.  Greystone's success and potential competitive advantage is dependent upon its ability to exploit the technology under these patents.  There can be no assurance that Greystone will be able to exploit the technology covered by these patents or that Greystone will be able to do so exclusively.
 

 
 
- 14 -

 
Greystone's business could be affected by changing or new legislation regarding environmental matters.

Greystone's business is subject to changing federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations pertaining to the discharge of materials into the environment, the handling and disposition of waste (including solid and hazardous waste) or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.  As is the case with manufacturers in general, if a release of hazardous substances occurs on or from Greystone's properties or any associated off-site disposal location, or if contamination from prior activities is discovered at any of Greystone's properties, Greystone may be held liable.  No assurances can be given that additional environmental issues will not require future expenditures.  In addition, both the plastics industry and Greystone are subject to existing and potential federal, state, local and foreign legislation designed to reduce solid wastes by requiring, among other things, plastics to be degradable in landfills, minimum levels of recycled content, various recycling requirements and disposal fees and limits on the use of plastic products.  In addition, various consumer and special interest groups have lobbied from time to time for the implementation of these and other such similar measures.  Although Greystone believes that the legislation promulgated to date and such initiatives to date have not had a material adverse effect on it, there can be no assurance that any such future legislative or regulatory efforts or future initiatives would not have a material adverse effect.

Greystone's business could be subject to potential product liability claims.

The testing, manufacturing and marketing of Greystone's products and proposed products involve inherent risks related to product liability claims or similar legal theories that may be asserted against Greystone, some of which may cause Greystone to incur significant defense costs.  Although Greystone currently maintains product liability insurance coverage that it believes is adequate, there can be no assurance that the coverage limits of its insurance will be adequate under all circumstances or that all such claims will be covered by insurance.  In addition, these policies generally must be renewed every year.  While Greystone has been able to obtain product liability insurance in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to obtain such insurance in the future on all of its existing or future products.  A successful product liability claim or other judgment against Greystone in excess of its insurance coverage, or the loss of Greystone's product liability insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon Greystone.

Greystone currently depends on certain key personnel.

Greystone is dependent on the experience, abilities and continued services of its current management.  In particular, Warren Kruger, Greystone's President and CEO, has played a significant role in the development, management and financing of Greystone.  The loss or reduction of services of Warren Kruger or any other key employee could have a material adverse effect on Greystone.  In addition, there is no assurance that additional managerial assistance will not be required, or that Greystone will be able to attract or retain such personnel.

Greystone's executive officers and directors control a large percentage of Greystone's outstanding common stock, which allows them to control matters submitted to Greystone's shareholders for approval, and all of Greystone's 2003 preferred stock, which entitles them to certain voting rights, including the right to elect a majority of Greystone's Board of Directors.

Greystone's executive officers and directors (and their affiliates), in the aggregate, own approximately 40% of Greystone's outstanding common stock.  Therefore, Greystone's executive officers and directors have the ability to decide the outcome of matters submitted to Greystone's shareholders for approval (including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Greystone's assets) and to control Greystone's management and affairs.  In addition, two of Greystone's directors (including one who also serves as one of Greystone’s executive officers) own all of Greystone's outstanding 2003 preferred stock, with each owning 50%.  The terms and conditions of Greystone's 2003 preferred stock provide that such holder has the right to elect a majority of Greystone's Board of Directors.  Such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the market price of Greystone's common stock.

Certain restricted shares of Greystone will be eligible for sale in the future and are likely to be sold in the future, which could affect the prevailing market price of Greystone's common stock.

Certain of the outstanding shares of Greystone's common stock are "restricted securities" under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and (except for shares purchased by "affiliates" of Greystone as such term is defined in Rule 144) would be eligible for sale as the applicable holding periods expire or in the event that the Company files a registration statement relating to such shares.  In the future, these shares may be sold only pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption, including pursuant to Rule 144.  In addition, Greystone has agreed to file a registration statement in connection with some of these outstanding shares of restricted stock.  Sales or the expectation of sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market by selling shareholders could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common stock, possibly having a depressive effect on any trading market for the common stock, and may impair Greystone's ability to raise capital at that time through additional sales of its equity securities.

Greystone's stock trades in a limited public market, is subject to price volatility and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained.

There has been a limited public trading market for Greystone's common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained.  There can be no assurance that Greystone's common stock will trade at or above any particular price in the public market, if at all.  The trading price of Greystone's common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results or even mild expressions of interest on a given day.  Accordingly, Greystone's common stock should be expected to experience substantial price changes in short periods of time.  Even if Greystone is performing according to its plan and there is no legitimate company-specific financial basis for this volatility, it must still be expected that substantial percentage price swings will occur in Greystone's common stock for the foreseeable future.  In addition, the limited market for Greystone's common stock may restrict Greystone's shareholders ability to liquidate their shares.

Greystone does not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Greystone has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock.  Greystone currently intends to retain future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business, to repay indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.   In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain loan documentation with F&M Bank and the terms and conditions of Greystone's 2003 preferred stock, Greystone is restricted in its ability to pay dividends to holders of its common stock.
 
 
Greystone's common stock may be subject to secondary trading restrictions related to penny stocks.

Certain transactions involving the purchase or sale of Greystone's common stock may be affected by a Commission rule for "penny stocks" that imposes additional sales practice burdens and requirements upon broker-dealers that purchase or sell such securities.  For transactions covered by this penny stock rule, among other things, broker-dealers must make certain disclosures to purchasers prior to the purchase or sale.  Consequently, the penny stock rule may impede the ability of broker-dealers to purchase or sell Greystone's common stock for their customers and the ability of persons now owning or subsequently acquiring Greystone's common stock to resell such securities.

Greystone may issue additional equity securities, which would lead to further dilution of Greystone's issued and outstanding stock.

The issuance of additional common stock or securities convertible into common stock would result in further dilution of the ownership interest in Greystone held by existing shareholders.  Greystone is authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, 20,700,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, in one or more series, which may give other shareholders dividend, conversion, voting and liquidation rights, among other rights, which may be superior to the rights of holders of Greystone's common stock.  In addition, Greystone is authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, over 4,960,000,000 additional shares of its common stock and securities convertible into common stock.

Results of Operations

General

The consolidated financial statements include Greystone and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C., or GSM, and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc., or PPP, and the two following variable interest entities: Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”) and, for fiscal year 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, GLOG Investment, L.L.C. (“GLOG”).

Greystone's primary business is the manufacturing of plastic pallets utilizing recycled plastic and selling the pallets through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, GSM.  In addition, GSM recycles plastics by grinding, pelletizing and selling the recycled resin through an arrangement with Yorktown Management & Financial Services, L.L.C., an entity owned by Warren Kruger, Greystone’s president and CEO.

As of May 31, 2012, Greystone had 94 full-time employees and used temporary personnel as needed.  Greystone's production capacity is about 70,000 plastic pallets per month, or 840,000 per year.  Production levels have generally been governed by sales and will increase as sales dictate.

Prior to fiscal year 2008, Greystone incurred significant losses from operations. For fiscal years 2008 through 2010 and 2012, Greystone produced positive net income and cash flows from operations. For fiscal year 2011, Greystone had positive income from operations and cash flows from operations but incurred a net loss after deductions for interest expense.  At May 31, 2012, Greystone remains highly leveraged and there is no assurance that Greystone will continue to achieve operating profitability.  See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under this Item 7.

For all years presented, Greystone's effective tax rate is 0%, except for fiscal year 2012.  From its inception through fiscal year May 31, 2007, Greystone incurred substantial net operating losses which would normally reflect a tax benefit in the statement of operations and a deferred asset on the balance sheet.  A valuation reserve has been established to offset the amount of any tax benefit available for each period presented in the consolidated statement of operations. Beginning with fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2010 and for fiscal year 2012, Greystone has shown profitability.  For fiscal year 2011, Greystone incurred a net loss and management determined that the valuation reserve should offset the amount of any tax benefits. Based on the net income for fiscal year 2012 and management’s expectation for fiscal year 2013, management has determined that the valuation reserve should be reduced to allow for the estimated tax benefits for fiscal year 2013 from utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. However, management will continue to evaluate the extent that the valuation reserve is needed.  Factors that management will consider, among others, are continued diversity in Greystone’s customer base and stability in its sales volumes.

Year Ended May 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended May 31, 2011

Sales
Sales were $24,157,590 for fiscal year 2012 compared to $20,501,824 for fiscal year 2011 for an increase of $3,655,766. Pallet sales were $20,371,150 in fiscal year 2012 compared to $15,217,794 in fiscal year 2011 for an increase of $5,153,356, or 34%. Sales to Greystone’s major customer were approximately 59% of total sales in fiscal year 2012 compared to 56% in fiscal year 2011.

Sales of recycled plastic resin were $3,786,440, or 16% of sales, compared to $5,284,030, or 26% of sales, in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively, for a decrease of $1,497,590.  Greystone decreased its efforts to market resin during fiscal year 2012 due to a decline in profit margins achievable from the cost of raw material compared to the selling prices.
 
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $19,227,739 (80% of sales) and $18,357,836 (90% of sales) in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in the ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2012 over fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to the 34% increase in pallet sales compared to a 13% increase in cost of pallets sold, resulting in a lower per unit pallet cost.  Greystone’s inflexible pallet production costs and improved formulation for materials allowed Greystone to achieve the lower per pallet production cost during fiscal year 2012.

The cost of sales for resin was approximately 119% of resin sales for fiscal year 2012 compared to approximately 102% of resin sales for fiscal year 2011. The increased cost of sales for resin was primarily due to pricing as discussed above under the caption Sales .  Greystone provides the labor and overhead to operate the pelletizing of resin and Yorktown provides the equipment. Yorktown receives 40% of the gross profit before labor and overhead. Resin sales reflected a gross profit before labor and overhead of which Yorktown’s share totaled approximately $168,000 and $359,000 in fiscal year 2012 and 2011, respectively.

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses
General, selling and administrative expense was $1,992,679 for fiscal year 2012 compared to $1,920,649 for fiscal year 2011 for an increase of $72,030.  The net increase of fiscal year 2012 over 2011 is principally due to an increase in commission expense of approximately $259,000 in fiscal year 2012 over 2011 offset by a decrease in stock compensation costs of approximately $72,000 and an approximately $90,000 reduction in bad debt expense for the same periods.

Other Income (Expense )
Other income (expense) was an expense of $133,409 in fiscal year 2012 compared to income of $15,157 in fiscal year 2011 for a decrease of $148,566.  Other expense in fiscal year 2012 includes a $131,500 loss due to the write down of an asset held for resale to net realizable value.

 
- 19 -

 
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $897,113 in fiscal year 2012 compared to $1,085,700 in fiscal year 2011 for a decrease of $188,587.  During fiscal year 2011, GRE, a variable interest entity, incurred a prepayment penalty of $46,729 as a result of early retirement of its mortgage loan with Kansas City Life Insurance.  In addition, GLOG, a variable interest entity, which was included in the consolidation of Greystone’s financial statements in fiscal year 2011, incurred interest expense of $171,796.  GLOG was liquidated and deconsolidated effective September 1, 2011.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes
Greystone recorded a benefit of $585,000 in fiscal year 2012 from income taxes to recognize tax benefits available from net operating losses.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
After deducting preferred dividends and income attributable to non-controlling interests, the net income attributable to common stockholders was $2,103,268, or $0.08 per share, in fiscal year 2012 compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(770,095), or $(0.03) per share, in fiscal year 2011 for the reasons discussed above.
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

 A summary of Greystone’s cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2012 is as follows:

Cash provided by operating activities
  $ 2,216,549  
Cash used in investing activities
    (801,960 )
Cash used in financing activities
    (1,389,609 )

Long-term debt obligations of Greystone as of May 31, 2012 are as follows:
 
 
Total
   
 
1 year
   
 
2-3 years
   
 
4-5 years
    Over 5 years  
$ 12,043,873     $ 1,286,312     $ 7,796,126     $ 2,961,435     $  

Greystone had a working capital deficit of $(4,165,900) at May 31, 2012 compared to a working capital deficit at May 31, 2011 of $(5,141,078) for an improvement of $975,178.  Excluding preferred dividends payable, the working capital deficit at May 31, 2012 is reduced to $(1,241,792).  To provide for the funding to meet Greystone's operating activities and contractual obligations as of May 31, 2012, Greystone will have to continue to produce positive operating results or explore various options including long-term debt and equity financing.  However, there is no guarantee that Greystone will continue to create positive operating results or be able to raise sufficient capital to meet these obligations.
 

 
- 20 -

 
As described below, substantially all of the financing that Greystone has received through May 31, 2012 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 2001 and 2003 and through 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 either will 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 for a total of $5,000,000 with a preferred dividend rate at 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 or otherwise.    As a result of the consolidation of GLOG with Greystone in fiscal year 2011, GLOG’s investment in the preferred stock was eliminated against Greystone’s equity.
 
Transactions with Warren Kruger and Related Entities

Effective December 15, 2005, Greystone entered into a loan agreement with Warren Kruger to convert $527,716 of advances due him into a note payable at 7.5% interest and Mr. Kruger has waived payment of interest and principal thereon until January 15, 2014. Greystone accrues interest on advances and note payable to Mr. Kruger at the rate of 7.5% per year.  Interest accrued in fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was $137,543 and $133,654, respectively. At May 31, 2012, a note payable of $527,716, advances of $625,180 and accrued interest of $699,399 were due to Mr. Kruger or to entities owned or controlled by him.

As discussed in “Other Transactions” of Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence,” Greystone (acting through GSM) and Yorktown have several agreements with respect to the purchase of raw materials, sales of pelletized resin, billings for payroll and other costs incurred on behalf of Yorktown and rents due to Yorktown. Greystone pays advances in recognition of the amounts owed pursuant to the aforementioned agreements.  As of May 31, 2012, net advances to Yorktown totaled $1,883,922.  Mr. Kruger has agreed that, if necessary, the amounts due Greystone should be offset against the amounts that Greystone owes Mr. Kruger or Yorktown.  At May 31, 2012, the offset against the net advances is the combined total of (i) the accrued interest of $699,399 payable to Mr. Kruger, (ii) advances payable to Mr. Kruger of $625,180 and (iii) an account payable of $720,000 for deferred compensation payable to Mr. Kruger.

Loans from F&M Bank

On March 4, 2005, Greystone entered into a loan agreement (the “F&M Loan Agreement”) with GLOG and The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”), which, among other things, sets forth certain terms applicable to a $1,500,000 revolving loan extended by F&M to GSM on or about December 18, 2004 and a new $5,500,000 term loan extended by F&M to GSM on March 4, 2005.  GLOG, an entity owned by Warren F. Kruger, President and CEO and a director, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a director, was a party to the F&M Loan Agreement for the sole purpose of securing the funds necessary to purchase 50,000 shares of Greystone's 2003 preferred stock. On March 28, 2011, two amendments (collectively, the “2011 Amendments”) to the F&M Loan Agreement were executed.  The 2011 Amendments (a) have an effective date of March 15, 2011, (b) cause all of GSM’s accrued debt under the F&M Loan Agreement plus an additional $300,000 to be transferred into a single term loan facility, with such facility being in the aggregate principal amount of $6,097,776 and having a maturity date of March 13, 2014, (c) renew GLOG’s obligations under the F&M Loan Agreement in the principal amount of $3,722,155 until March 15, 2014, (d) provide for cross-collateralization and cross-default among property and debts of GSM, GLOG and GRE, an entity owned by Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, (e) impose certain guaranty requirements on Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, and (f) add to the F&M Loan Agreement certain financial covenants, reporting requirements and other provisions that are customary in such types of agreements.

In addition to the cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions of the 2011 Amendments, Greystone's obligations are secured by a lien in favor of F&M on substantially all of GSM's assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement.  Also, pursuant to the terms of a guaranty agreement, Greystone guaranteed GSM's performance and payment under the notes.  In addition, in order to induce F&M to enter into the loan agreement, certain officers and directors of Greystone (Messrs. Kruger and Rosene) entered into a limited guaranty agreement with F&M and Mr. Rosene entered into a pledge agreement with F&M.

Effective as of August 31, 2011, Warren Kruger, Robert Rosene, Jr., F&M, GSM and GLOG entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement.  The Third Amendment (a) causes all of GLOG’s rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement to be transferred to  Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, (b) affirms the cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions of the Loan Agreement among property and debts of GSM, GLOG and GRE, (c) amends the cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions of the Loan Agreement to include Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, (d) amends certain financial covenants of the Loan Agreement, and (e) includes certain other provisions that are customary in such types of agreements.  The Third Amendment was a result of GLOG distributing its assets to its members, Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, and subsequently being dissolved.

Advances and Loans from Robert Rosene

Effective December 15, 2005, Greystone entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Rosene to convert $2,066,000 of advances into a note payable at 7.5% interest. Mr. Rosene has waived payment of principal and interest until January 15, 2014. In January, 2011, Mr. Rosene loaned $500,000 to Greystone which was repaid in April, 2011.   Greystone has accrued interest on the loans in the amounts of $244,402 and $208,469 in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accrued interest due to Mr. Rosene at May 31, 2012 is $1,285,714.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Greystone in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.  Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 
- 23 -

 
As of May 31, 2012, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of Greystone’s principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Greystone’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).  Based on this evaluation, Greystone’s CEO and CFO have concluded that Greystone’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2012 as a result of the two material weaknesses identified below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Greystone’s CEO and CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Greystone’s internal controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of Greystone’s financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

Due to inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of control effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Greystone’s CEO and CFO made an assessment of the effectiveness of Greystone’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2012.  In making this assessment, Greystone’s CEO and CFO used the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).   During this evaluation, Greystone’s CEO and CFO identified two material weaknesses.  As a result of these two material weaknesses, Greystone’s CEO and CFO concluded that Greystone did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2012.  The material weaknesses are as follows:

(i)  
Greystone 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.

(ii)  
Greystone, at the parent entity level, has limited resources to ensure that necessary internal controls are implemented and followed throughout the company, including its subsidiaries. Because of this limitation with respect to the ability to allocate sufficient resources to internal controls, 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.

 
- 24 -

 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there was no change in Greystone’s internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected or that is reasonably likely to materially affect Greystone’s internal control over financial reporting.
 

Item 9B.   Other Information.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 5, 2012, Greystone’s Board of Directors elected Larry LeBarre as the newest member of Greystone’s Board of Directors, effective immediately.  Mr. LeBarre’s appointment filled the vacancy created by the Board of Directors’ decision on such date to increase the number of members of the Board of Directors from two members to three members, a power granted to the Board of Directors by Greystone’s bylaws.  In return for serving as a member of the Board of Directors, Greystone may issue stock options to Mr. LeBarre from time to time pursuant to Greystone’s Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan.  A description of the options issued to Mr. LeBarre thus far is below.

Other Events.

On June 1, 2012, certain directors, officers and employees of Greystone were issued options to purchase shares of Greystone’s common stock under Greystone’s Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $0.12 per share.  The persons to whom such options were issued, together the number of shares underlying such options, are shown below:

Directors’ and Officers’ Compensation

Greystone does not pay cash compensation to the members of its Board of Directors for services on the Board.  From time to time in the past, Greystone has granted options to the members of its Board of Directors under its stock option plan as compensation for serving on Greystone's Board of Directors.  No options to purchase common stock were issued to Greystone’s directors or officers during fiscal years 2012 or 2011.  Subsequent to May 31, 2012, Greystone issued options to certain employees and directors under its stock option plan.

Because the Board of Directors consists of three persons of which two are outside directors, the Board has not considered it necessary to create a compensation committee.  All of Greystone’s directors participate in determining compensation for officers.
 

 
 
- 30 -

 
Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan

General .   Greystone’s Amended and Rested Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Plan”) is administered by the Board of Directors of Greystone or, if the Board so authorizes, by a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of not less than two members of the Board of Directors. The Stock Plan is presently administered by the entire Board of Directors since no separate committee of the Board has been designated to administer the Stock Plan.  Accordingly, many of the references below in this description of the Stock Plan to the Board of Directors could also be construed to be a committee thereof.  All managerial and other key employees of Greystone and/or its subsidiaries who hold positions of significant responsibility or whose performance or potential contribution, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, will benefit the future success of Greystone are eligible to receive grants under the Stock Plan. In addition, each director of Greystone who is not an employee of Greystone is eligible to receive certain option grants pursuant to provisions of the Stock Plan.   Previously, the Stock Plan was set to expire on May 11, 2011 and the maximum number of shares of common stock in respect of which options could be granted under the Stock Plan was 2,000,000.  However, on May 5, 2012, the Board of Directors voted to cause the Stock Plan to be extended for another 10 years and to increase the number of shares of common stock in respect of which options could be granted to 2,500,000.  This number is subject to appropriate equitable adjustment in the event of a reorganization, stock split or stock dividend or other similar change affecting Greystone’s common stock.

Price and Terms .   Each option is evidenced by an agreement between Greystone and the optionee.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, all options become exercisable at the rate of 25% of the total shares subject to the option on each of the first four anniversary dates of the date of grant, provided that the Board of Directors may, at any time, accelerate the date any outstanding option becomes exercisable. The exercise price for each share placed under option pursuant to the Stock Plan is determined by the Board of Directors but cannot in any event be less than 100% of the fair market value of such share on the date the option was granted.

Effect of Termination or Death .   If an optionee’s employment with Greystone is terminated for any reason other than death or termination for cause, an option will be exercisable for a period of three months after the date of termination of employment as to all then vested portions of the option. In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, approve acceleration of the vesting of any unvested portions of the option. If an optionee’s employment with Greystone is terminated for cause (as defined in the Stock Plan), the option shall terminate as of the date of such termination of employment, and the optionee shall have no further rights to exercise any portion of the option.  If an optionee dies while employed by Greystone, any unvested portion of the option as of the date of death shall be vested as of the date of death, and the option shall be exercisable in full by the heirs or legal representatives of the optionee for a period of 12 months following the date of death. In any event, options terminate and are no longer exercisable after 10 years from the date of the grant.
 
Continued Service as a Director .   In the event any optionee who is an employee and also a director of Greystone ceases to be employed by Greystone but continues to serve as a director of Greystone, the Board of Directors may determine that all or a portion of such optionee’s options shall not expire three months following the date of employment as described above, but instead shall continue in effect until the earlier of the date the optionee ceases to be a director of Greystone or the date the option otherwise expires according to its stated date of expiration. Termination of any such option in connection with the optionee’s termination of service as a director will be on terms similar to those described above in connection with termination of employment.

 
- 31 -

 
Grants to Non-Employee Directors .  In order to retain, motivate and reward non-employee directors of Greystone, the Stock Plan extends participation to non-employee directors on the terms and conditions described below.  The exercise price for options granted to non-employee directors is equal to 100% of the fair market value per share of common stock on the date the option is granted. As with options granted to employees, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, all options granted to non-employee directors become exercisable at the rate of 25% of the total shares subject to the option on each of the first four anniversary dates of the date of grant. The Board of Directors is also entitled at any time to accelerate the date any outstanding option becomes exercisable. If a non-employee director’s service on the Board of Directors is terminated for any reason other than death or removal from the Board of Directors for cause, an option will be exercisable for a period of three months after the date of removal from the Board of Directors as to all then vested portions of the option.  If a non-employee director is removed from the Board of Directors for cause, the option will terminate as of the date of such removal, and the optionee shall have no further rights to exercise any portion of the option.  If a non-employee director optionee dies while serving on the Board of Directors, any unvested portion of the option as of the date of death shall be vested as of the date of death, and the option shall be exercisable in full by the heirs or legal representatives of the optionee for a period of 12 months following the date of death. In any event, options terminate and are no longer exercisable after 10 years from the date of the grant.

Other than as described above, all options granted to non-employee directors are subject to the same terms and conditions generally applicable to options granted to employees under the Stock Plan.
 
Exercise of Options .   The exercise price of options may be paid in cash, by certified check, by tender of stock of Greystone (valued at fair market value on the date immediately preceding the date of exercise), by surrender of a portion of the option, or by a combination of such means of payment. The prior consent of the Board of Directors is required in connection with the payment of the exercise price of options by tender of shares or surrender of a portion of the option, except that the consent of the Board of Directors is not required if the exercise price is paid by surrender of shares that have been owned by the optionee for more than six months prior to the date of exercise of the option or by a combination of cash and shares that have been owned for more than six months.
 
Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions .   In the event of any change in capitalization affecting the common stock of Greystone, such as a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or other form of reorganization, liquidation, or any other change affecting the common stock, proportionate adjustments will be made with respect to the aggregate number and type of securities for which options may be granted under the Stock Plan, the number and type of securities covered by each outstanding option, and the exercise price of outstanding options so that optionees will be entitled upon exercise of options to receive the same number and kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration that the optionee would have received in connection with the change in capitalization if such option had been exercised immediately preceding such change in capitalization.  The Board of Directors may also make such adjustments in the number of shares covered by, and the price or other value of any outstanding options in the event of a spin-off or other distribution, other than normal cash dividends, of company assets to shareholders. In addition, unless the Board of Directors expressly determines otherwise, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Plan) of Greystone, all outstanding options will become immediately and fully exercisable and optionees will be entitled to surrender, within 60 days following the Change in Control, unexercised options or portions of options in return for a cash payment equal to the difference between the aggregate exercise price of the surrendered options and the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the surrendered options.

The raw material is purchased by Yorktown which invoices Greystone for Yorktown’s cost plus a grinding fee of $0.04 per pound. During fiscal years 2012 and 2011, GSM’s raw material purchases from Yorktown totaled approximately $3,911,000 and $2,966,000, respectively, pursuant to this arrangement.

On January 18, 2011, GRE and GSM entered into a Real Property Sale and Lease Agreement (the “Sale and Lease Agreement”).  GRE is owned by Warren F.

Director Independence

Greystone has determined that Messrs. LeBarre and Rosene are "independent" within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ listing standards.  Because of the small size of Greystone’s Board of Directors, it has not established any committees.  Rather, the entire Board acts as, and performs the same functions as, the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.  Mr. Kruger is not considered "independent" within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ listing standards.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Stockholders of
Greystone Logistics, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Greystone Logistics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Greystone Logistics, Inc. as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Greystone Logistics, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2012 and 2011
 

Note 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Greystone Logistics, Inc. ("Greystone"), through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Greystone Manufacturing, LLC ("GSM") and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc. ("PPP"), is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of plastic pallets and pelletized recycled plastic resin.
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greystone, its subsidiaries and entities required to be consolidated by the accounting guidance for variable interest entities (“VIE”).  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Greystone consolidates its VIEs, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”) and, until its liquidation effective August 31, 2011, GLOG Investment, L.L.C. (“GLOG”).  GRE is owned by Warren F. Kruger, president and CEO, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors.  GLOG was owned by Messrs. Kruger and Rosene prior to its dissolution.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Greystone's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Greystone's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Greystone carries its accounts receivable at their face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts.  On a periodic basis, Greystone evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and credit conditions and based on a history of collections. Based on periodic reviews of outstanding accounts receivable, Greystone writes off balances deemed to be uncollectible against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 
F-7

 
Inventory

Inventory consists of finished pallets and raw materials and is stated at the lower of average cost or market value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Greystone's property, plant and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, as follows:
 
  Plant buildings  
39 years
  Production machinery and equipment  
5-10 years
  Office equipment & furniture & fixtures   3-5 years
 
Upon sale, retirement or other disposal, the related costs and accumulated depreciation of items of property, plant or equipment are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is recognized.  When events or changes in circumstances indicate that assets may be impaired, an evaluation is performed comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying amount. If the asset carrying amount exceeds the cash flows, a write-down to fair value is required.

Patents

Amortization expense for the costs incurred by Greystone to obtain the patents on the modular pallet system and accessories is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated life of 15 years.

Stock Options
 
The grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award as compensation cost.  The fair value of new option grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility, dividend yields and expected holding periods.
 
Recognition of Revenues

Greystone’s sales agreements to customers other than its primary customer generally provide for risk of loss to pass to the customers upon shipment from Greystone’s plant in Bettendorf, Iowa.  Revenue is recognized for these customers at date of shipment.

 
F-8

 
Greystone’s agreement with its major customer provides that (1) risk of loss or damages for product in transit remain with Greystone or (2) product is subject to approval at the buyer’s premises.  Accordingly, Greystone recognizes revenue when product has been delivered to the customer’s sites and risk of loss has passed to the customer.

For sales to all customers, cost of goods sold is recognized when the related revenue is recognized.

Income Taxes

Greystone accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and tax loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. In arriving at income available to common stockholders, preferred stock dividends are deducted from net income for the year. For fiscal years 2012 and 2011, convertible preferred stock and stock options are not considered as their effect is antidilutive.
 
The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 as their effect would have been antidilutive:
 
      2012       2011  
Options to purchase common stock
    1,400,000       1,940,000  
Convertible preferred stock
    3,333,334        
                 
      4,733,334       1,940,000

F-11

 
At May 31, 2011, GLOG, a variable interest entity had a note payable to The F&M Bank & Trust Company, 4.5% interest, monthly installments of $24,917 and due March 15, 2014.  GLOG was dissolved effective August 31, 2011 and, accordingly, removed from the consolidation of Greystone effective September 1, 2011. The balance outstanding at May 31, 2011 was $3,702,144 of which $135,173 was the current portion.

The prime rate of interest as of May 31, 2012 was 3.25%.                                                                                                     

On March 4, 2005, Greystone entered into a loan agreement (the “F&M Loan Agreement”) with GLOG and The F&M Bank & Trust Company ("F&M”), which, among other things, sets forth certain terms applicable to a $1,500,000 revolving loan extended by F&M to GSM on or about December 18, 2004 and a new $5,500,000 term loan extended by F&M to GSM on March 4, 2005.    GLOG, an entity owned by Warren F. Kruger, President and CEO and a director, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a director, was a party to the F&M Loan Agreement for the sole purpose of securing the funds necessary to purchase 50,000 shares of Greystone's 2003 preferred stock. On March 28, 2011, two amendments (collectively, the “2011 Amendments”) to the F&M Loan Agreement were executed.  The 2011 Amendments (a) have an effective date of March 15, 2011, (b) cause all of GSM’s accrued debt under the F&M Loan Agreement plus an additional $300,000 to be transferred into a single term loan facility, with such facility being in the aggregate principal amount of $6,097,776 and having a maturity date of March 13, 2014, (c) renew GLOG’s obligations under the F&M Loan Agreement in the principal amount of $3,722,155 until March 15, 2014, (d) provide for cross-collateralization and cross-default among property and debts of GSM, GLOG and GRE, an entity owned by Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, (e) impose certain guaranty requirements on Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, and (f) add to the F&M Loan Agreement certain financial covenants, reporting requirements and other provisions that are customary in such types of agreements including a restriction on dividends to the preferred and common stockholders. Financial covenants include compliance with funded debt to EBITDA, earnings before interest depreciation and amortization, and debt service coverage ratios.  Calculation of these ratios includes GSM, Yorktown, GLOG, GRE and Warren Kruger individually.

In addition to the cross-collateralization provisions of the 2011 Amendments, Greystone's obligations are secured by a lien in favor of F&M on substantially all of GSM's assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement.  Also, pursuant to the terms of a guaranty agreement, Greystone guaranteed GSM's performance and payment under the notes.  In addition, in order to induce F&M to enter into the F&M Loan Agreement, Messrs. Kruger and Rosene entered into a limited guaranty agreement with F&M and Mr. Rosene entered into a pledge agreement with F&M.

Effective as of August 31, 2011, Warren Kruger, Robert Rosene, Jr., F&M, GSM and GLOG entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement.  The Third Amendment (a) causes all of GLOG’s rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement to be transferred to  Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, (b) affirms the cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions of the Loan Agreement among property and debts of GSM, GLOG and GRE, (c) amends the cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions of the Loan Agreement to include Messrs. Kruger and Rosene as replacements for GLOG, (d) amends certain financial covenants of the Loan Agreement, and (e) includes certain other provisions that are customary in such types of agreements.  The Third Amendment was a result of GLOG distributing its assets to its members, Messrs. Kruger and Rosene, and subsequently being dissolved.

Maturities of Greystone’s long-term debt for the five years after May 31, 2012 are $1,286,312, $3,890,053, $3,906,073, $419,668 and $2,541,767.

Note 6.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Warren F. Kruger, Chairman

Yorktown Management & Financial Services, LLC (“Yorktown”), an entity wholly owned by Greystone’s CEO and President, owns the grinding equipment Greystone uses to grind raw material for Greystone’s pallet production. The raw material is purchased by Yorktown which invoices Greystone for Yorktown’s cost plus a grinding fee of $0.04 per pound. During fiscal years 2012 and 2011, GSM’s raw material purchases from Yorktown totaled approximately $3,911,000 and $2,966,000, respectively, pursuant to this arrangement.

GSM pays rents to Yorktown as follows: (i) certain pallet molds at the rate of $1.00 per pallet of which approximately $38,000 and $44,000 was paid in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively, (ii) office rent at the rate of $1,500 per month and (iii) equipment used for heavy lifting of which $73,200 was paid in each of fiscal years 2012 and 2011.  The lease for the heavy-lifting equipment ended February 29, 2012 and the equipment continues to be leased on a month-to-month basis.

Yorktown and GSM have an agreement for purchase, processing and selling pelletized recycled plastic resin.  Yorktown purchases the raw material and provides the pelletizing equipment and GSM supplies the labor and operating overhead.  Upon shipment to customers, Yorktown invoices GSM for the cost of the raw material. GSM invoices customers recognizing revenue and accruing profit-sharing expense to Yorktown at 40% of the gross profit, defined as revenue less cost of material and sales commissions of 2.5%.  Yorktown’s profit share of the resin sales for fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was approximately $168,000 and $359,000, respectively.

Effective December 15, 2005, Greystone entered into a loan agreement with Warren Kruger to convert $527,716 of advances due him into a note payable at 7.5% interest and Mr. Kruger has waived payment of interest and principal thereon until January 15, 2014. Greystone accrues interest on advances and note payable to Mr. Kruger at the rate of 7.5% per year.  Interest accrued in fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was $137,543 and $133,654, respectively. At May 31, 2012, a note payable of $527,716, advances of $625,180 and accrued interest of $699,399 were due to Mr. Kruger or to entities owned or controlled by him.

Greystone also pays the labor and certain other costs on behalf of Yorktown’s Tulsa, Oklahoma grinding operation.  These costs are invoiced to Yorktown on a monthly basis.

Greystone pays advances to Yorktown in recognition of the amounts owed pursuant to the aforementioned agreements.  As of May 31, 2012, net advances to Yorktown totaled $1,883,922.  Mr. Kruger has agreed that, if necessary, the amounts due Greystone should be offset against the amounts that Greystone owes him or Yorktown.  At May 31, 2012, the offset against the net advances is the combined total of (i) the accrued interest of $699,399 payable to Mr. Kruger, (ii) advances payable to Mr. Kruger of $625,180 and (iii) an account payable of $720,000 for deferred compensation payable to Mr. Kruger. 

Pursuant to Mr. Kruger’s employment contract with Greystone, he is entitled to be paid an annual salary of $240,000.  However, effective November 2006, Mr. Kruger voluntarily elected to temporarily defer the payment of half of such salary. Effective June 1, 2012, Greystone resumed payment of the full salary to Mr. Kruger.

Mr. Rosene loaned $500,000 to Greystone which was repaid in April, 2011.

At May 31, 2012, Greystone had a net operating loss (NOL) for Federal income tax purposes from inception through May 31, 2005 of $17,693,000 expiring in fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2029 of which $2,925,000 is management’s estimate of the usable amount pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The limitation is due to a change in control of Greystone during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005. The utilization of NOL’s accumulated through fiscal year 2005 is limited to approximately $225,000 per year.

Note 8.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Convertible Preferred Stock

In September 2003, Greystone issued 50,000 shares of Series 2003, cumulative, convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001, for a total purchase price of $5,000,000.  Each share of the preferred stock has a stated value of $100 and a dividend rate equal to the prime rate of interest plus 3.25% and may be converted into common stock at the conversion rate of $1.50 per share or an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of common stock. The holder of the preferred stock has been granted certain voting rights so that such holder has the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of Greystone.

Preferred stock dividends must be fully paid before a dividend on the common stock may be paid.  Dividends in arrears on the preferred stock were $2,924,108 and $2,599,999 as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The holders of the preferred stock waived their rights to compounded interest on unpaid dividends during the period from inception through May 31, 2012.

GLOG was the owner of Greystone’s preferred stock until August 31, 2011 when it was liquidated and the preferred stock was distributed to its owners, Warren Kruger, Greystone’s president and CEO, and Robert Rosene, a member of Greystone’s board of directors.  As a result of the consolidation of GLOG with Greystone at May 31, 2011, GLOG’s investment in the preferred stock and the related dividends receivable are eliminated against Greystone’s equity in the preferred stock and the related accrual of dividends in arrears.

Note 9.    STOCK OPTIONS

Greystone has a stock option plan that provides for the granting of options to key employees and non-employee directors. The options are to purchase common stock at not less than fair market value at the date of the grant.  Effective May 5,2012, Greystone’s board of directors approved the renewal and extension of Greystone’s stock option plan through May 11, 2021 and increased the maximum number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted to 2,500,000 of which 1,075,000 were available for grant at May 31, 2012. Stock options generally expire in ten years from date of grant or upon termination of employment and are generally exercisable one year from date of grant in cumulative annual installments of 25%. Following is a summary of option activity for the two years ended May 31, 2012:

Note 10.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these 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 for comparable loans.  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.

Note 12.   CONCENTRATIONS

For the fiscal years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, one customer accounted for approximately 59% and 56% of sales, respectively. The account receivable from this customer at May 31, 2012 totaled $1,331,326.
 
Used and damaged pallets are a desirable source of raw material. Greystone purchases pallets from its customers at a price competitive with other sources for the same grade of raw material. Currently, most of the purchases of used and damaged pallets come from Greystone’s major customer. These pallets are recycled and used in the manufacture of pallets. During the latter part of fiscal year 2011, Greystone’s major customer discontinued its use of a particular size of pallet which was replaced by another size of Greystone’s pallets.  Greystone repurchased these discontinued pallets for a contractual price.  Greystone’s willingness to accept the returned pallets has resulted in a surplus of pallets with respect to Greystone’s current production needs.  As of May 31, 2012, Greystone had an account payable to the major customer resulting from this transaction in the amount of approximately $1,658,000 for which the customer has agreed to accept Greystone’s monthly payments of $240,000.

Purchases from this major customer were approximately $3,626,000 and $1,400,000 in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. The purchases in fiscal year 2012 included $2,158,000 for the discontinued pallets as discussed in the preceding paragraph.

As of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, Greystone purchased approximately 49% of its raw materials from Yorktown Management & Financial Services LLC, an entity owned by Warren Kruger, Greystone’s Chairman and CEO.   However, the raw materials for Greystone’s products are readily available and may be purchased from other suppliers.
 

Note 13.   VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C.
GRE, is owned by Warren Kruger, President and CEO, and Robert Rosene, a member of the Board of Directors.  It was created solely to own and lease a building that GSM occupies at 2600 Shoreline Drive, Bettendorf, Iowa. Effective January 18, 2011, GRE acquired from GSM an adjacent building located at 2601 Shoreline Drive, Bettendorf, Iowa, in a sale and leaseback transaction based on an appraised market price of $2,700,000.  In addition, GRE and GSM entered into an amended lease agreement for 2600 Shoreline Drive.  The sale and leaseback and the amended lease terms and conditions are based on ten year leases at appraised market rates with options to purchase at appraised market value. The outstanding mortgage on the buildings is guaranteed by Messrs. Kruger and Rosene.
 
The building(s), having a carrying value of $3,707,653 and $3,822,445 at May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, serve as collateral for GRE’s debt.  The debt had a carrying value of $3,623,070 and $3,866,827 at May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
 

 
 
F-17

 
GLOG Investment, L.L.C.
GLOG was created in March 2005 for the purpose of acquiring from a third party, all of the outstanding Series 2003 Preferred Stock of Greystone.  The owners of GLOG were Messrs. Kruger and Rosene.  Until August 31, 2011, GLOG’s sole asset was the preferred stock with a carrying value of $5,000,000. GLOG’s debt had a carrying value at May 31, 2011 of $3,702,144..

Effective August 31, 2011, GLOG was liquidated, the assets were distributed to the owners and the debt was assumed by the owners.  Accordingly, the entity was deconsolidated effective with the liquidation of the entity.
 
 
Note 14.   RETIREMENT PLAN

Greystone sponsors a retirement plan for the benefit of all eligible employees. The retirement plan qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code thereby allowing eligible employees to make tax-deferred contributions. The retirement plan provides that Greystone may elect to make employer-matching contributions equal to a percentage of each participant’s voluntary contribution and may also elect to make profit sharing contributions. Greystone has never made any matching or profit sharing contributions to the retirement plan.
 

Note 15.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective June 1, 2012, Greystone issued stock options to purchase 2,100,000 shares of common stock to certain of its board of directors, officers and employees and cancelled options to purchase 1,300,000. The new options are for a ten year period and are vested at the rate of 25% per year beginning with the first anniversary of the date of the grant. The cost of the options is valued at $214,000 to be accrued over the vesting period of four years.
