1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended | ||||||||
31-May-14 | |||||||||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||
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 VIE, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”), which owns the manufacturing facilities which are occupied by Greystone. GRE is owned by Warren F. Kruger, President and CEO, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors. | |||||||||
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. | |||||||||
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. | |||||||||
Other Assets | |||||||||
Other assets includes certain intangible costs as follows: | |||||||||
-1 | Patents on the modular pallet system and accessories which are being amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated life of 15 years. | ||||||||
-2 | Debt issue costs which are being amortized over the term of the underlying note payable or five years. | ||||||||
Stock Options | |||||||||
The grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees is amortized on the straight-line basis 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. | |||||||||
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 consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated 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 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013 as their effect would have been antidilutive: | |||||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||
Options to purchase common stock | - | 350,000 | |||||||
Convertible preferred stock | 3,333,333 | 3,333,333 | |||||||
3,333,333 | 3,683,333 | ||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncement | |||||||||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards ("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, 2016 and will require either retrospective application to each prior period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard at the date of adoption. Greystone is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial position and results of operations. | |||||||||
Reclassification | |||||||||
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the classifications adopted for the year ended May 31, 2014. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or accumulated deficit. | |||||||||

Loan Agreement between Greystone and International Bank of Commerce (“IBC”) | |||||||||
On January 31, 2014, Greystone and GSM (the “Borrowers”) and IBC entered into a Loan Agreement (the “IBC Loan Agreement”). The IBC Loan Agreement provides for a revolving loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,500,000 (the “Revolving Loan”) and a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $9,200,000 (the “Term Loan”). The exact amount which can be borrowed under the Revolving Loan from time to time is dependent upon the amount of the borrowing base, but can in no event exceed $2,500,000. | |||||||||
The Revolving Loan bears interest at the New York Prime Rate plus 0.5% but not less than 4.0% and matures January 31, 2016. As of May 31, 2014, the interest rate on the Revolving Loan was 4%. 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 may be reborrowed by the Borrowers. The proceeds from the Revolving Loan will be used for general working capital purposes. | |||||||||
The Term Loan bears interest at 4.5% per annum and matures January 31, 2019. The Borrowers are required to make equal payments of principal and interest in an amount sufficient to amortize the principal balance of the Term Loan over five years. The proceeds from the Term Loan were primarily used to repay the Borrowers’ obligations to The F&M Bank & Trust Company in the amount of $3,992,083, to pay accrued preferred dividends of $3,469,040 and to pay $1,312,697 to Yorktown for the acquisition of equipment. | |||||||||
The IBC Loan Agreement required the Borrowers to pay a fee in the amount of $100,000 to IBC on January 31, 2014. | |||||||||
The IBC Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants which include (i) requiring the Borrowers to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1:25 to 1:00 and a funded debt to EBIDA ratio not exceeding 3:00 to 1:00, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, limiting the Borrowers’ combined capital expenditures on fixed assets to $1,000,000 per year, (iii) prohibiting Greystone, without IBC’s prior written consent, from declaring or paying any dividends, redemptions of stock or membership interests, distributions and withdrawals (as applicable) in respect of its capital stock or any other equity interest, other than (A) a one-time payment of accrued preferred dividends to holders of its preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $3,470,000 within 10 days of the date of the IBC Loan Agreement, and (B) additional payments to holders of its preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year, (iv) subject to certain exceptions, prohibiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Borrowers, and (v) requiring the Borrowers to prevent (A) any change in capital ownership such that there is a material change in the direct or indirect ownership of (1) Greystone’s outstanding preferred stock, and (2) any equity interest in GSM, or (B) Warren Kruger from ceasing to be actively involved in the management of Greystone as President and/or Chief Executive Officer. The foregoing list of covenants is not exhaustive and there are several other covenants contained in the IBC Loan Agreement. | |||||||||

Transactions with Warren F. Kruger, Chairman | |
Yorktown Management & Financial Services, LLC (“Yorktown”), an entity wholly owned by Greystone’s CEO and President, owns and rents to Greystone (1) grinding equipment used to grind raw materials for Greystone’s pallet production and (2) extruders for pelletizing recycled plastic into pellets for resale and for use as raw material in the manufacture of pallets. Yorktown also owns a plastic grinding and wash line facility used to recycle plastic into usable raw material which Greystone may purchase at market prices. Greystone compensates Yorktown for the use of equipment as discussed below. In addition, Yorktown provides office space for Greystone in Tulsa, Oklahoma at a monthly rental of $2,000. | |
Greystone pays the labor on behalf of Yorktown’s Tulsa, Oklahoma grinding operation. These costs are invoiced to Yorktown on a monthly basis. As of May 31, 2014, Mr. Kruger and Yorktown owe Greystone $219,505 primarily from the aforementioned labor costs incurred by Greystone on behalf of Yorktown. | |
Acquisition of raw material and resin sales. For the period from June 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013, Greystone had the following arrangements with Yorktown which were terminated effective January 31, 2013: | |
Greystone purchased its raw materials through Yorktown for which Yorktown invoiced Greystone for the actual cost of the materials plus a grinding fee of $0.04 per pound. During the period from June 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013, GSM’s raw material purchases and grinding fees from Yorktown totaled approximately $3,623,000 pursuant to this arrangement. | |
Yorktown and GSM had an agreement for purchase, processing and selling pelletized recycled plastic resin. Yorktown purchased the raw material and provided the pelletizing equipment and GSM supplied the labor and operating overhead. Upon shipment to customers, Yorktown invoiced GSM for the cost of the raw material. GSM invoiced 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 year 2013 was approximately $80,000. | |
Effective February 1, 2013, GSM commenced purchasing raw materials direct from unrelated third parties and the processing of pelletized material for resale was undertaken solely by GSM. Further, effective February 1, 2013, GSM commenced paying a weekly grinding equipment rental fee to Yorktown of $22,500 plus a rental fee of $0.02 per pound for the use of Yorktown’s pelletizing equipment. Subsequently, the grinding fee was converted to a weekly fee of $5,000. GSM paid Yorktown total equipment rental fees of approximately $1,430,000 and $465,667 in fiscal years 2014 and 2013 respectively. | |
Acquisition of equipment. On and effective January 31, 2014, Greystone, GSM, Warren Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO, and Yorktown entered into a Bill of Sale and Assignment (the “Bill of Sale”) providing for the acquisition of an injection molding machine, a lift crane and several injection molds by GSM from Yorktown for $2,400,000. Immediately prior to the acquisition, Yorktown owed GSM $3,750,085 and Greystone owed Mr. Kruger $2,662,782. The Bill of Sale provided for the offset of GSM’s receivable and Greystone’s payable, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, leaving a balance of $1,087,302 owed by Yorktown. The purchase price of $2,400,000 was offset by the balance of $1,087,303 owed by Yorktown resulting in a cash payment to Yorktown of $1,312,697. Greystone made payments to Yorktown for use of this equipment in fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2014 through the date of acquisition. Such payments during the year ended May 31, 2014 totaled $84,983 and such payments in fiscal year 2013 totaled $132,200. | |

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended | ||||||||
31-May-14 | |||||||||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||
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 VIE, Greystone Real Estate, L.L.C. (“GRE”), which owns the manufacturing facilities which are occupied by Greystone. GRE is owned by Warren F. Kruger, President and CEO, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors. | |||||||||
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. | |||||||||
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. | |||||||||
Other Assets | ' | ||||||||
Other assets includes certain intangible costs as follows: | |||||||||
(1) | Patents on the modular pallet system and accessories which are being amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated life of 15 years. | ||||||||
(2) | Debt issue costs which are being amortized over the term of the underlying note payable or five years. | ||||||||
Stock Options | ' | ||||||||
The grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees is amortized on the straight-line basis 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. | |||||||||
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 consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated 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 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013 as their effect would have been antidilutive: | |||||||||

Recent Accounting Pronouncement | ' | ||||||||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards ("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, 2016 and will require either retrospective application to each prior period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard at the date of adoption. Greystone is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial position and results of operations. | |||||||||
Reclassifications | ' | ||||||||
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the classifications adopted for the year ended May 31, 2014. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or accumulated deficit. |
