Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DECISIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following is management's discussion and analysis of significant factors
which have affected registrant's financial position and operations.
Overall Situation
On September 30, 1988, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement
dated April 4, 1988 with Harp Investments, Inc., a privately held New Jersey
corporation. The agreement provided for the Company to acquire 100% of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Graystone Nash, Incorporated and 70%
of the outstanding shares of Outwater and Wells, Inc. (Graystone Nash,
Incorporated owned 30% of theoutstanding shares prior to the exchange), in
exchange for 59,675,000 shares of theCompany's Common Stock.
Additionally, 11,475,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock was required
too returned to the Company by certain original shareholders. The transaction
was handled as reverse merger.
On April 20, 1990, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. censured
Graystone Nash, Incorporated and it's President, Thomas V. Ackerly. The
Association fined Graystone Nash, Inc.and Thomas V. Ackerly $1,325,000,
jointly and severely, and expelled Graystone Nash, Incorporated from
membership in the Association and barred Thomas V. Ackerly from association
with a member the association. Thomas V. Ackerly is in the process of
appealing this decision.
Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission brought an action against
Graystone Nash, Incorporated and Thomas V. Ackerly, it's President, and on
April 21, 1993 a judgment was entered against the Company and Thomas V.
Ackerly in the amount of $60,565,581.00 plus interest beginning January 1,
1989. The action was appealed and on June 1, 1994, the judgment was reversed.
Graystone Nash, Inc. was not represented by counsel in the new review ordered
and the judgment stands against it. Thomas V. Ackerly, acting as his own
counsel, presented to the Court additional information to review. Upon
review by the Court on July 10, 1995, the judgment and pre-judgment interest
was waived as to Thomas V. Ackerly. As a result of the above actions, the
subsidiary Graystone Nash, Incorporated was forced to close and cease
operations.
Also, the subsidiary Outwater and Wells, Inc. was forced to close and cease
operations in accordance with the lockup rules of the SEC.
The Company's business plan is to seek potential businesses that may, in
the opinion of Management, warrant the Company's involvement. The Company
acknowledges that as a result of its limited financial resources, acquiring a
suitable business will be extremely difficult; however, the Company's
principal business objective will be to seek long term
growth potential in the business in which it participates, rather
than immediate, short term earnings. In seeking to attain its business
objectives, the Company will not restrict its search to any particular
industry. Management has no assurance that it will be
successful in its attempt to raise such capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has increased its assets principally by the increase in trading
securities of stocks that had little or no value in prior year and continues
to have a very small amount of liabilities. It is the intent of Management to
seek potential businesses in which to acquire through the issuance of the
Company's common stock. In addition, to make private placement of common stock
as a means of raising capital to propel the Company into new arenas of high
earnings potential. Additional funding will be necessary in order to achieve
these goals.

Glen Ridge, New Jersey
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Graystone
Financial Services, Inc. as of May 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
related statement of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that my audit of the
financial statements provides a reasonable basis for my
opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Graystone Financial Services, Inc. as of May 31,
1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
