Greystone’s inflexible costs of production are a significant factor impacting the profit margins realized from the sale of product. While cost of sales to sales asshowed improvements over the cost of raw materials are expected to show declines inprior period, Greystone anticipates continued improvements during the remainder of fiscalthe current year 2023.as increases are anticipated in pallet production.

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was $340,000$256,000 and $(7,000)$(135,000) in fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from federal statutory rates principally due to state income taxes, charges or income which have no tax benefit or expense, changes in the valuation allowance, and the basis that net income from GRE is not taxable at the corporate level because GRE is a limited liability company of which Greystone has no equity ownership.

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.

This decrease in sales from fiscal year 2022 was principally the result of a decrease of approximately 27% in the quantity of pallets sold offset somewhat by an increase of approximately 5% in the average price per pallet sold.

Greystone had three customers which accounted for approximately 66% and 78% of sales in fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest expense was $288,316 in fiscal year 2023 compared to $205,769 in fiscal year 2022 for an increase of $82,547. The increase is attributable to increases in the prime rate of interest which was 7.00% as of November 30, 2022 compared to 3.25% as November 30, 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

The benefit from income taxes was $84,000 and $128,000 in fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.
