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 (loss) availableattributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) availableattributable 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.

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 14-09”) which creates a comprehensive set of guidelines for the recognition of revenue under the principle: “Recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The requirements of ASU 14-09 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and will require either retrospective application to each prior period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. Greystone is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU will require organizations (“lessees”) that lease assets with lease terms of more than twelve months to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. In addition, the ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The effective date of this ASU is for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018 and interim periods within that year. Greystone is currently reviewing the ASU to assess the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 11. Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the President signed into legislation The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act). The Act changes existing U.S. tax law and includes numerous provisions that will affect our business, including our income tax accounting, disclosure and tax compliance. We believe the most impactful changes within the Act are those that will reduce the U.S. corporate tax rates, business-related exclusions and deductions and credits. ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740), requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Consequently, as of the date of enactment, and during the three months ended February 28, 2018, Greystone will value all deferred tax assets and liabilities at the newly enacted Corporate U.S. income tax rate. Greystone is currently evaluating the impact of the Act, which will include revaluing the deferred tax assets and liabilities and will disclose the estimated impact upon recognition in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Note 12.13. Subsequent EventEvents

 

On January 10, 2018, Greystone and International Bank of Commerce (“IBC”) entered into the Fifth AmendmentSubsequent to the IBC Loan Agreement dated January 31, 2014 (the “Fifth Amendment”) whereby (i)quarter ended November 30,2023, Greystone received insurance proceeds of approximately $227,000 associated with damage to its equipment.

As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, Greystone has one relatively near-term loan with IBC, Term Loan A, which had an outstanding balance of $4,287,282 at November 30, 2017 with a maturity date of January 7, 2019. Greystone’s management believes that IBC will renew this note at the appropriate time under similar terms. Effective January 10, 2018 and as discussed further in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements,2023, Greystone and IBC entered into the Fifth Amendment to the IBC Loan Agreement dated January 31, 2014 which providedhad no commitments for (1) converting the existing revolving loan with a balance of $2,500,000 at November 30, 2017 into a four-year term loan, (2) new funding in the amount of $1,000,000 for the purchase of production equipment with interest only for one year and principal and interest to be amortized over four years and (3) a new revolving loan for $3,000,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2020.capital expenditures.

 

Substantially allA substantial amount of theGreystone’s debt financing that Greystone has received through the last few fiscal years resulted primarily from loans provided by certain officers and directors of Greystone and bank notes which are guaranteed by certain officers and directors of Greystone.

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

Forward Looking Statements and Material Risks

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

This Quarterly ReportGreystone does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on Form 10-Q includes certainour financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Greystone believes that the following critical policies affect Greystone’s more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of Greystone’s financial statements.

General

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” withinaffect the meaningreported amounts of Section 27Aassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Securities Actfinancial statements and the reported amounts of 1933, as amended,revenues and Section 21Eexpenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recognition of Revenues

Revenue is recognized at the point in 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 Securities Exchange Actgoods is subject to approval by the customer, revenue is recognized upon approval by the customer unless, historically, there have been insignificant rejections of 1934,goods by the customer.

Accounts receivable

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The Company generally does not charge interest on past due accounts. 

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished pallets and raw materials which are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Management applies overhead costs to inventory based on an analysis of the Company's expense categories. The specific costs are then applied to inventory based on production during the period. Management relies on estimates and assumptions regarding the specific costs to include in the production costs, as amended. These forward-lookingwell as the period to use in determining inventory production.

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 consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are made in reliancedetermined based on the safe harbor protections provided underdifference between the Private Securities Litigation Reform Actconsolidated financial statements and tax bases of 1995. All statements, otherassets and liabilities and tax loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

20

A deferred tax asset is recognized for tax-deductible temporary differences and operating losses using the applicable enacted tax rate. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers the likelihood of whether it is more likely than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developmentsnot the net deferred tax asset will be realized. Based on this evaluation, management will provide a valuation allowance if it is determined more likely than not the associated asset will not be recognized. Based on this, management has determined 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;realize the full effect of the deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance of $793,337 and $1,044,361 has been recorded as of November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material portion of Greystone’s business is and will be dependent upon a few large customers and there is no assurance thateffect on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, Greystone will be able to retain such customers. These risks and other risksadopt those that could affect Greystone’s business are more fully described in Greystone’s Form 10-K forapplicable under the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, which was filed on August 25, 2017. 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.circumstances.

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on Greystone’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.
