The results of operations for the nine and three monththree-month periods ended February 28,August 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Greystone will continue as a going concern. ForGreystone reported a net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 20102011 and net income for the two previous fiscal years Greystone has reported net income, although Greystone has incurred losses thus far in fiscal year 2011.prior thereto. Greystone believes that it has the capacity to produce sufficient plastic pallets to achieve profitability. However, Greystone continues to be dependent on one customer. Sales to this major customer were approximately 74%73% of pallet sales (56%(54% of total sales) for the nine monththree-month period ended February 28,August 31, 2011 (70%and 77% of pallet sales (58% of total sales) for the nine monththree-month period ended February 28, 2010).August 31, 2010. To date, Greystone has received substantial advances from investors to finance its operations and will require additional substantial funding and/or personal guarantees of debt in order to attain its business plan and continue to achieve profitable operations. Historically, managementGreystone has been successful in financing its operations primarily through short-term loans and personal guarantees of bank loans by its officers and directors. Management has continued to seek long-term and/or permanent financing, and on March 15, 2011, Greystone entered into an amended bank loan agreement which provides for a three-year term on Greystone’s primary indebtedness. While such amendmentamendment’s extended terms provided important near-term relief, profitable growth will still requiresrequire additional capital resources. Neither the receipt of additional funding in adequate amounts nor the successful implementation of itsGreystone’s business plan can be assured. The combination of these factors raises substantial doubt about Greystone's ability to continue as a going concern.

Sales
Greystone's primary businessfocus 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 manufacturingUnited States and sellingengaged 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 through its wholly owned subsidiary, GSM. Greystone sells its pallets through direct sales andcould greatly reduce the destruction of trees on a network of independent contractor distributors. worldwide basis.
Greystone also sells its pallets and pallet leasing services to certain large customers direct through contract distributors and its President Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing and other employees.
In addition, GSM recycles plastics by grinding, pelletizingGreystone derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a national brewer. This customer accounted for approximately 73% and selling the recycled resin through an arrangement with Yorktown Management & Financial Services, L.L.C. (“Yorktown”), an entity owned by Warren Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO. Greystone purchases its raw material from Yorktown at cost, processes it into pelletized recycled plastic and sells the pelletized recycled plastic. Greystone also pays 40%77% of the gross profit received from third party sales of pelletized recycled plastic, defined as revenue less cost of material and selling commissions, to Yorktown. Greystone intends to grow the product sales of recycled plastic.
Greystone’s pallet sales to one national brewer forand 54% and 58% of Greystone’s total sales in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. The design of Greystone’s recycled plastic pallets are approved for use by the customer and 2010 were approximately 74% and 70%are the only plastic pallets in use for case goods at the current time by the customer. There is no assurance that Greystone will retain this customer’s business at the same level, or at all. The loss of total pallet sales, respectively.a material amount of business from this customer could have a material adverse effect on Greystone.
Personnel
Greystone had approximately 8794 and 7187 full-time employees as of February 28,August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Taxes
For all years presented, Greystone's effective tax rate is 0%. Greystone has generated substantial net operating losses which would normally reflect a tax benefit in the statements of operations and a deferred asset on the balance sheet. However, because of the current uncertainty as to Greystone's ability to achieve and sustain profitability, a valuation reserve has been established that offsets the amount of any tax benefit available for each period presented in the consolidated statements of operations.
Based upon a review of its income tax filing positions, Greystone believes that its positions would be sustained upon an audit by the Internal Revenue Service and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. At February 28,August 31, 2011, Greystone had no unrecognized tax benefits.

Pallet sales to Greystone’s major customer are generally based on the customer’s needsneed to maintain its pallet inventory and may vary by period. Greystone cannot predict the major customer’s future needs to maintain or grow its pallet inventory but has been able to grow sales to new pallet customers developed through Greystone’s marketing efforts to broaden and increase its customer base.
Sales of recycled plastic resin were $1,494,705 in fiscal year 2012 compared to $1,254,577 in fiscal year 2011 for an increase of $240,128. Greystone’s strategic plan is to continue to grow the sales of recycled plastic resin. Cost of Sales

The increase in thehigher ratio of cost of sales to sales in fiscal year 2011 over fiscal year 2010 iswas primarily due to (1) inelastic labor and manufacturing overhead costs for pallet production during a period of reduced product volume resulting from lost production time on the pallet production lines for necessary repair and (2) the lower profit margin for recycled plastic resin as compared to the gross margin for pallet sales.maintenance. The profit margin for resin sales was approximately nil in fiscal year 2012 and 2011 due to pricing, production costs and the fees (40% of revenue less material, freight and commissions) paid or accrued to Yorktown Management, LLC, an entity owned by Warren Kruger, President and CEO of Greystone. Greystone’s business plan is to increase resin sales with improved profit margins toward the realization of a positive gross margin. Yorktown’s share of gross profits from resin sales totaled approximately $339,000$53,102 and $104,042 in fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively. During fiscal year 2012, the profit margins for recycled plastic resin decreased due to increases in the cost of raw materials.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Greystone’s operations have provided positive cash flows for each of the years beginning in fiscal year 2007 through the ninethree month period ended February 28,August 31, 2011. While the amendment to the loan agreement provided important near-term relief, Greystone will require additional cash to achieve growth and to meet Greystone's contractual obligations, and Greystone continues to explore various options including refinancing long-term debt and equity financing. However, there is no guarantee that Greystone will be able to raise sufficient capital to meet these obligations.
A summary of cash flows for the ninethree months ended February 28,August 31, 2011 is as follows:

The working capital deficit at February 28, 2011 decreased $4,209,786 from the working capital deficit of $12,613,621 at May 31, 2010 due primarily$3,817,462, including $1,730,759 to the refinancing of loans with F&M Bank.related parties. The working capital deficit reflects the uncertain financial condition of Greystone resulting from its limitations on its ability to obtain long-term financing. There is no assurance that Greystone will secure suchadditional long-term financing.
Substantially all of the financing that Greystone has received through February 28, 2011the last few fiscal years has been provided by loans or through loan guarantees from the officers and directors of Greystone, the offerings of preferred stock to current and former officers and directors of Greystone in fiscal years 2001 and 2003 and a private placement of common stock completed in March 2005.Greystone.
Greystone continues to be dependent upon its officers and directors to provide and/or secure additional financing and there is no assurance that its officers and directors will continue to do so. As such, there is no assurance that funding will be available for Greystone to continue operations.
Greystone has 50,000 outstanding shares of cumulative 2003 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $5,000,000 and a preferred dividend rate of the prime rate of interest plus 3.25%. Greystone does not anticipate that it will make cash dividend payments to any holders of its preferred stock or its common stock unless and until the financial position of Greystone improves through increased revenues, another financing transaction or otherwise.
Forward Looking Statements and Material Risks
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Greystone expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including decreased costs, securing financing, the profitability of Greystone, potential sales of pallets or other possible business developments, are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could be affected by any of the following factors: Greystone's prospects could be affected by changes in availability of raw materials, competition, rapid technological change and new legislation regarding environmental matters; Greystone may not be able to secure additional financing necessary to sustain and grow its operations; and a material portion of Greystone's business is and will be dependent upon a few large customers and there is no assurance that Greystone will be able to retain such customers. These risks and other risks that could affect Greystone's business are more fully described in Greystone's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010,2011, which was filed on September 14, 2010.16, 2011. Actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements. Greystone undertakes no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Greystone carried out an evaluation under the supervision of Greystone's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Greystone's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on an evaluation as of May 31, 2010,2011, Warren F. Kruger, Greystone's Chief Executive Officer, and William W. Rahhal, Greystone’s Chief Financial Officer, identified two material weaknesses. As a result of these two material weaknesses, Greystone’s CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Greystone did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28,August 31, 2011. The material weaknesses as of February 28,August 31, 2011 were as follows:
1. Greystone does not have a risk assessment process for identifying and mitigating risks that financial statements may be materially misstated and lacks the necessary corporate accounting resources to maintain adequate segregation of duties. Reliance on these limited resources impairs Greystone’s ability to provide for proper segregation of duties and the ability to ensure consistently complete and accurate financial reporting, as well as disclosure controls and procedures.
2. Greystone has limited resources to ensure that necessary internal controls are implemented and followed throughout the company. Because of this limitation with respect to the ability to allocate sufficient resources to internal controls and the lack of an audit committee and a well-defined communication process, material misstatements could occur and remain undetected, implementation of new accounting standards could be hindered and risk assessment and monitoring may not be addressed in a timely manner.
During the quarter ended February 28,August 31, 2011, there were no changes in Greystone's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, Greystone's internal control over financial reporting.
