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, 20172018 and the notes thereto included in Greystone’s Form 10-K for such period. The results of operations for the nine-monthsix months and three-month periodsthree months ended February 28,November 30, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

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) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available 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, as follows:

Revenue will be recognized by Greystonerecognizes revenue as plastic pallets are shipped to the customer. Recognized revenue totaled $3,381,345 during the six months ended November 30, 2018.

Note9.Revenue and Revenue Recognition

On June 1, 2018, Greystone adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended, using the retrospective method. Greystone determined that there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the adoption of the new standard did not requireany adjustments to Greystone’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods. Under the guidance of the new standard, 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.

 

Note 9. Fair ValueThe amount of Financial Instrumentsrevenue recognized reflects the consideration to which Greystone expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for its products. The following steps are applied in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition:

1.Identification of a contract with a customer is a sales arrangement involving a purchase order issued by the customer stating each party’s rights regarding the plastic pallets to be transferred. Payment terms vary by customer from net 30 days to 90 days. Discounts on sales arrangements are generally not provided. Credit worthiness is determined by Greystone based on payment experience and financial information available on the customer.
2.Identification of performance obligations in the sales arrangement which is predominantly the promise to transfer plastic pallets to Greystone’s customer.
3.Determination of the transaction price which is specified in the purchase order based on product pricing negotiated between Greystone and the customer.
4.Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations.
5.Recognition of revenue which predominantly occurs upon completion of the performance obligation and transfer of control. Transfer of control generally occurs at the point of shipment which is Greystone’s manufacturing and warehouse locations.

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 $296,000 and $474,000 in fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Greystone’s customers include stocking and non-stocking distributors and direct sales to end-user customers. Sales to Greystone’s three largest customers, which are end-users, totaled approximately 84% and 73% of sales in fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 11. 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. Management believes that the impact of this ASU will not have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting StandardsASU 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’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.
