Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Basis of Financial Statements

 

In the opinion of Greystone Logistics, Inc. (“Greystone”), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of August 31, 2020 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K for such period. The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

 

The consolidated financial statements of Greystone include its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. (“GSM”) and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc. (“PPP”), and the variable interest entity, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”). GRE owns two buildings located in Bettendorf, Iowa which are leased to GSM. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

 

Greystone excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is anti-dilutive. Instruments which have an anti-dilutive effect at August 31 are as follows:

 

    2020     2019  
             
Preferred stock convertible into common stock     -       3,333,333

Loan Agreement between Greystone and IBC

 

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

 

The IBC term loans make equal monthly payments of principal and interest in such amounts sufficient to amortize the principal balance as follows: (i) Term Loan A over a seven-year period beginning February 29, 2016 (currently $76,705 per month), (ii) Term Loan C over a seven-year period beginning August 31, 2017 (currently $25,205 per month), (iii) Term Loan D over a four-year period beginning February 10, 2019 (currently $57,469 per month), (iv) Term Loan E over a four-year period beginning February 10, 2019 (currently $23,060 per month), (v) Term Loan F over a five-year period beginning February 28, 2019 (currently $68,402 per month) and (vi) Term Loan G over a fifteen-year period beginning April 30, 2019 (currently $7,466 per month). The monthly payments of principal and interest on the IBC term loans may vary as a result of changes in the prime rate of interest.

 

The IBC Loan Agreement, as amended, provides a revolving loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan”). The amount which can be borrowed from time to time is dependent upon the amount of the borrowing base not to exceed $4,000,000. The Revolving Loan bears interest at the greater of the prime rate of interest plus 0.5%, or 5.50% and matures January 31, 2022. The Borrowers are required to pay all interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan on a monthly basis. Any principal on the Revolving Loan that is prepaid by the Borrowers does not reduce the original amount available to the Borrowers. Greystone’s available revolving loan borrowing capacity was $2,250,000 at August 31, 2020.

 

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

 

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

 

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan

 

On April 10, 2020, the Company received a SBA Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), with IBC for $3,034,000. The PPP loan bears interest at 1.0% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $177,803 commencing on November 10, 2020 and matures on April 10, 2022. The Paycheck Protection Program provides that the PPP loan may be partially or fully forgiven if the funds are used for certain qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The Company believes that the proceeds from the PPP loan were used for qualifying expenses in accordance with the terms in the CARES Act and plans to apply for forgiveness of the PPP loan in accordance with the requirements and limitations under the CARES Act, the PPP Flexibility Act and SBA regulations and requirements. However, there is no assurance that all or any portion of the PPP loan will be forgiven.

 

Loan Agreement between GRE and IBC

 

On August 10, 2018, GRE and IBC entered into an amended agreement to extend the maturity of the note to April 30, 2023 and increase the interest rate to 5.5%. The note is secured by a mortgage on the two buildings in Bettendorf, Iowa, which are leased to Greystone.

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

 

Effective December 15, 2005, Greystone entered into an agreement with Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors, to convert $2,066,000 of advances into an unsecured note payable at 7.5% interest.

 

Effective June 1, 2016, the note was restated (the “Restated Note”) to combine the outstanding principal, $2,066,000, and accrued interest, $2,475,690, into an unsecured note payable of $4,541,690 with an extended maturity date of January 15, 2022. The Restated Note provides that accrued interest is payable monthly and allows Greystone to use commercially reasonable efforts to pay such amounts as allowed by the IBC Loan Agreement against the interest accrued prior to the restatement. The balance of the note at August 31, 2020 was $3,706,666.

 

Maturities

 

Maturities of Greystone’s long-term debt for the five years subsequent to August 31, 2020 are $4,971,516, $10,021,054, $3,768,376, $1,669,485 and $215,528.

 

Note 7. Leases

 

Financing Leases

 

Financing leases as of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020:

 

    August 31, 2020     May 31, 2020  
Non-cancellable financing leases   $ 4,987,687     $ 5,455,656  
Less: Current portion     (1,883,904 )     (1,838,251 )
Non-cancellable financing leases, net of current portion   $ 3,103,783     $ 3,617,405  

 

Greystone and an unrelated private company entered into three lease agreements for certain production equipment with a total cost of approximately $6.9 million which were effective February 24, 2018, August 2, 2018 and December 21, 2018, respectively, with five-year terms and a capitalized interest rate of 7.4%. Each of the lease agreements include a bargain purchase option to acquire the production equipment at the end of the lease term. The leased equipment is principally used to produce pallets for the private company. Lease payments are made as a credit on the sales invoice at the rate of $3.32 for each pallet produced and shipped from the respective leased equipment. The estimated aggregate monthly rental payments are approximately $153,000. The rent payments can vary each month depending on the quantity of pallets produced from each machine. The lease agreements provide for minimum monthly lease rental payments based upon the total pallets sold in excess of a specified amount not to exceed the monthly productive capacity of the leased machines.

 

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

 

  10  

 

 

The production equipment under the non-cancelable financing leases has a gross carrying amount of $8,473,357 at August 31, 2020. Amortization of the carrying amount of $288,414 and $208,157 was included in depreciation expense for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Operating Leases

 

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

 

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

Note 8. Deferred Revenue

 

Advances from a customer pursuant to a contract for the sale of plastic pallets is recognized as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized by Greystone as pallets are shipped to the customer which totaled $2,459,160 and $-0- during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no customer advances received during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019. The unrecognized balance of deferred revenue as of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, was $1,334,007 and $3,793,167, respectively.

 

Note 9. Revenue and Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

  12  

 

 

Greystone’s principal product is plastic pallets produced from recycled plastic resin. Sales are primarily to customers in the continental United States of America. International sales are made to customers in Canada and Mexico which totaled approximately $131,000 and $105,000 during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Greystone’s customers include stocking and non-stocking distributors and direct sales to end-user customers. Sales to the following categories of customers for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were as follows:

 

Category   2020     2019  
Major customers (end users)     87 %     87 %
Distributors     13 %     13 %

 

Note 10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

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

 

Note 11. Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties

 

Greystone derived approximately 87% of its total sales from four customers and three customers during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The loss of a material amount of business from one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on Greystone.

 

Greystone purchases damaged pallets from its customers at a price based on the value of the raw material content in the pallet. A majority of these purchases, totaling $301,421 and $561,657 in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively, is from one of its major customers.

 

Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a Greystone director, has provided financing and guarantees on Greystone’s bank debt. As of August 31, 2020, Greystone is indebted to Mr. Rosene in the amount of $3,706,666 for a note payable due January 15, 2022. There is no assurance that Mr. Rosene will renew the note as of the maturity date.

 

COVID-19 Risks. The impact of COVID-19 has created much uncertainty in the marketplace. To date, the demand for Greystone’s products has not been affected as Greystone’s pallets are generally used logistically by essential entities. The major issue that Greystone has incurred is maintaining adequate work force to meet demand for pallets. The virus has impacted the overall workforce in our operating area as well as Greystone’s workforce due to employees electing to stay at home for protection from COVID-19 and reductions of recruitment of new employees. Management is unable to predict the stability of its workforce as the longer that the virus stays active, the greater the uncertainty.

 

Greystone is subject to litigation, claims and other commitments and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the asserted value of these matters may be significant, the company currently does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any open matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 12. Commitments

 

As of August 31, 2020, Greystone had commitments totaling $467,230 toward the purchase of production equipment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Results of Operations

 

General to All Periods

 

The unaudited consolidated statements include Greystone Logistics, Inc., and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. (“GSM”) and Plastic Pallet Production, Inc. (“PPP”). Greystone also consolidates the variable interest entity, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

References to fiscal year 2021 refer to the three months ended August 31, 2020. References to fiscal year 2020 refer to the three months ended August 31, 2019.

 

Sales

 

Greystone’s primary focus is to provide quality plastic pallets to its existing customers while continuing its marketing efforts to broaden its customer base. Greystone’s existing customers are primarily located in the United States and engaged in the beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries. Greystone has generated, and plans to continue to generate, interest in its pallets by attending trade shows sponsored by industry segments that would benefit from Greystone’s products. Greystone hopes to gain wider product acceptance by marketing the concept that the widespread use of plastic pallets could greatly reduce the destruction of trees on a worldwide basis. Greystone’s marketing is conducted through contract distributors, its President and other employees.

 

  14  

 

 

Personnel

 

Greystone had approximately 284 and 237 full-time employees as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, employee recruitment is outsourced to certain personnel agencies. Greystone employed 60 and 128 personnel through these agencies as of August 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Three Months Ended August 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended August 31, 2019

 

Sales

 

Sales for fiscal year 2021 were $17,568,176 compared to $18,664,509 in fiscal year 2020 for a decrease of $1,096,333. While the number of pallets sold during fiscal year 2021 increased by approximately 16%, there was decrease in the dollar volume for pallet sales in fiscal year 2021 from fiscal year 2020 primarily due to the pricing structure within the product mix.

 

Greystone had four and three larger customers which accounted for approximately 87% of sales in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. Greystone is not able to predict the future needs of these major customers and will continue its efforts to grow sales through the addition of new customers developed through Greystone’s marketing efforts.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales in fiscal year 2021 was $14,609,617, or 83% of sales, compared to $16,303,734, or 87% of sales, in fiscal year 2020. The ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2021 reflects an improvement over the ratio for fiscal year 2020. The improvement in the ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2021 from fiscal year 2020 was the result of price increases on certain pallets, increases in pallet production per machine resulting from installation of hardware and software to improve the flow of resin into molds on injection molding machines, and the increased capacity for grinding and pelletizing plastic material. The increase in the capacity for in-house grinding and pelletizing is beneficial toward reducing the overall cost for injection-grade plastic.

 

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses

 

General, selling and administrative expenses were $1,140,238, or 6.5% of sales, in fiscal year 2021 compared to $1,077,598, or 5.8% of sales, in fiscal year 2020 for an increase of $62,640 or 5.8%. The increase in fiscal year 2021 over fiscal year 2020 results principally from increased costs for administrative personnel.

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Other income from sales of scrap material was $6,510 in fiscal year 2021 compared to $2,033 in fiscal year 2020.

 

Interest expense was $361,673 in fiscal year 2021 compared to $480,911 in fiscal year 2020 for a decrease of $119,238. There was a reduction in total debt of approximately $1,600,000 from August 31, 2019 to August 31, 2020. In addition, the debt as of August 31, 2020 included a Paycheck Protection Program note in the amount of $3,034,000 which bears a 1.0% interest rate and the prime rate of interest was 3.25% as of August 31, 2020 compared to 5.25% as of August 31, 2019.

 

  15  

 

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes was $454,000 and $185,000 in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from federal statutory rates due principally to state income taxes, charges which have no tax benefit, changes in the valuation allowance, and the basis that the net income from GRE is not taxable at the corporate level because GRE is a limited liability company of which Greystone has no equity ownership.

 

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

 

Net Income

 

Greystone recorded net income of $1,009,158 in fiscal year 2021 compared to $619,299 in fiscal year 2020 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

 

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

The net income attributable to common stockholders for fiscal year 2021 was $860,201, or $0.03 per share, compared $442,250, or $0.02 per share, in fiscal year 2020 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

A summary of cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2020 is as follows:

 

Cash provided by operating activities   $ 3,174,100  
         
Cash used in investing activities   $ (744,656 )
         
Cash used in financing activities   $ (2,740,216 )

 

The contractual obligations of Greystone are as follows:

 

    Total    

Less than

1 year

    1-3 years     4-5 years  
Long-term debt   $ 20,645,959     $ 4,971,516     $ 13,789,430     $ 1,885,013  
Financing leases   $ 5,486,403     $ 2,186,434     $ 3,264,261     $ 35,708  
Operating leases   $ 177,020     $ 81,881     $ 82,229     $ 12,910  
Commitments   $ 467,230     $ 467,230     $ -     $ -  

 

  16  

 

 

Greystone had a working capital deficit of $(3,861,602) at August 31, 2020. To provide for the funding to meet Greystone’s operating activities and contractual obligations as of August 31, 2020, Greystone will have to continue to produce positive operating results or explore various options including additional long-term debt and equity financing. However, there is no guarantee that Greystone will continue to create positive operating results or be able to raise sufficient capital to meet these obligations.

 

A substantial amount of the Greystone’s debt financing has resulted primarily from bank notes which are guaranteed by certain officers and directors of Greystone and from loans provided by certain officers and directors of Greystone. Greystone continues to be dependent upon its officers and directors to provide and/or secure additional financing and there is no assurance that its officers and directors will continue to do so. As such, there is no assurance that funding will be available for Greystone to continue operations.

 

Greystone has 50,000 outstanding shares of cumulative 2003 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $5,000,000 and a preferred dividend rate of the prime rate of interest plus 3.25%. Greystone does not anticipate that it will make cash dividend payments to any holders of its common stock unless and until the financial position of Greystone improves through increased revenues, another financing transaction or otherwise. Pursuant to the IBC Loan Agreement, as discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, Greystone may pay dividends on its preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $500,000 per year.

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Greystone carried out an evaluation under the supervision of Greystone’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Greystone’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on an evaluation as of May 31, 2020, Warren F. Kruger, Greystone’s Chief Executive Officer, and William W. Rahhal, Greystone’s Chief Financial Officer, identified no material weakness in Greystone’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result, Greystone’s CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of Greystone’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of August 31, 2020.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2020, 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.
