THE GRAYSTONE COMPANY, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of The Graystone Company, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's registration statement filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2012 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has negative working capital, recurring losses, and does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
In the coming year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with operations and business developments. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds such as shareholder loans and advances to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings or through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Under ASC-815 the conversion options embedded in the notes payable described in Note 6 require liability classification because they do not contain an explicit limit to the number of shares that could be issued upon settlement.
During 2013, certain notes payable were converted resulting in settlement of the related derivative liabilities. The Company re-measured the embedded conversion options at fair value on the date of settlement and recorded these amounts to additional paid-in capital.
During 2013, the Company issued additional convertible notes. The conversion options and warrants were classified as derivative liabilities at their fair value on the date of issuance.
As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 –
|
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
|
Level 2 -
|
Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.
|
Level 3 -
|
Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
|
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as September 30, 2013.

|
·
|
our future operating results;
|
|
·
|
our business prospects;
|
|
·
|
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

|
|
·
|
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital.
|
These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate” or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which are described in close proximity to such statements and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this report. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section.
Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated modest revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploration of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. The Company has had very little operating history to date. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Overview
During the Three Months Ending September 30, 2013, we generated sales of $33,290 and incurred a net loss of $17,484,691. We have received no substantial revenue ($73,610 from the production of gold or other metals), and historically relied on equity and debt financings to finance our ongoing operations. Our operations generated a net loss of $24,696,530 from inception (March 27, 2010) through September 30, 2013. In order to fund operations, we relied on proceeds received under the private placement sale in secured convertible debentures from Asher Enterprises, loans payable from SC Capital and proceeds received from notes payable from our shareholders.

The Company's research and development expenses are related to the Company's mining activities in Peru and include exploration on the Company's mining properties but do not include the actual mining expenses. The Company’s research and development expense decreased as the Company’s focused more assets to mining production and less on general exploration and development of its mining claims. The major increase in general and administrative expenses is related to the fair value of shares issued for services. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 21,996,500 common shares valued at $11,395,625.

In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our growth requirements for the next twelve months. The Company expects that its current revenue will allow us to satisfy our current operations and our reporting requirement for the next twelve months. However, if our revenue decreases we may not able to support our current operations and reporting obligations without obtaining additional funds. We believe our currently available capital resources will allows us to begin operations within our natural resource division and maintain its operation over the course of the next 12 months; however, our other expansion plans would be put on hold until we could raise sufficient capital. The Company expects that it needs to raise an additional $500,000 to expand its mining operations in Peru whereby the operations in Peru will be operating at a breakeven point or a profit. Currently, the Company loses approximately $5,000 - $10,000 per month related to its mining operations in Peru. We cannot guaranty that we will be able to raise additional funds. Moreover, in the event that we can raise additional funds, we cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms.
Loans
The Company has received the following loans from 3rd parties:
Asher:
The Company borrowed $143,500 during the nine months ending September 30, 2013 from Asher. The amount owed at September 30, 2013 was $135,500 as Asher converted $147,500 in exchange for shares of our Class A Common Stock.

Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Accounting and Audit Plan
In the next twelve months, we anticipate spending approximately $20,000 - $30,000 to pay for our accounting and audit requirements.
Mining Operations
Peru
The Company currently owns 1,600 hectares and is in the process of completing the transfer of these properties into the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Peru. The properties include the following projects:

The Company’s operations in Peru have focused on its property referred to as Gorilla. In June 2011, the Company acquired the Gorilla Project. The purchase price for the property was $44,000 USD. The project consists of 400 hectares (one hectares equals 2.47 acres) located in Loreto, Peru (Northern Peru). The Gorilla Project operation involves alluvial mining of gold from the deposits of sand and gravel usually left from modern or ancient stream beds.
In November 2012, the Company has begun initial mining production in Peru for Gorilla. The company was limited in the amount of gold that could be extracted. In January 2013, the Company received a 2-year permit from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines to conduct full mining operations on its mining properties Gorilla and Graystone II. The permit required the Company to file the Corrective Environmental Management Instrument by February 5, 2013 and the final Corrective Environmental Management Instrument by the expiration of the 2-year permit. The Company filed the Corrective Environmental Management Instrument on February 5, 2013. The Company expects to submit and file the final Corrective Environmental Management Instrument in approximately 7 months.
Exploration and Bulk Sampling Activities
The Company has completed 2 separate bulk sampling projects on the Gorilla Project. The first was lasted for 23 days and the second lasted 2 days. The bulk sampling was conducted to provide internal numbers to management to determine the feasibility of continuing with the project. In addition to the bulk sampling activities we carried out the following activities:
·
|
Implemented a community relations program to inform local communities of the project and what potential opportunities that may exist for community involvement in the implementation phases of the development program;
|
·
|
Acquired equipment for further evaluation and development of resources;
|
·
|
Set-up an operational base in the project area to continuously review the exploration program and prior experiences gained operating in this difficult terrain;
|
·
|
Began bulk sampling of the site to assist in mapping the property
|
·
|
Commissioned a preliminary master plan which indicated the size and scope of our projected operations and areas where more information is required.
|
The bulk sampling resulted in following data(1):
Gravel Mined:
|
135 m3 (apprx. 165 tons)
|
Raw Gold Produced:
|
122 grams
|
The Company’s mining operations in Peru have generated approximately 240-260 grams per month for the months of June, July, and August. The Company has generated approximately 160 grams through the first 20 days of mining in September. The Company has doubled its production since April 2013 when it produced approximately 130 grams. The Company’s operating expenses in Peru exceed the gold produced by approximately $7,500 - $15,000 per month. The Company was losing between $7,500 - $15,000 in Peru. The company needs to acquire an excavator and additional heavy machinery to remove the layers of clay located on its mining properties before the Company expects to see any significant increase in its mining production in Peru. The Company’s operations have completed its current operations and will begin general mining operations once it has secured an excavator for Gorilla. The Company cannot provide a timetable for when that it will be able to acquire the excavator as the Company currently does not have the cash resources to acquire one and will need to raise approximately $200,000 to acquire the excavator.
Suriname
The Company’s Suriname operations are conducted as a joint venture whereby Graystone owns 40% of the joint venture with Arara mining owning 50% and Renard Properties, LLC owning 10%. The Company has entered into 2 new prospecting contracts in Suriname. One is for 200 hectares and the second one if for 2,400 hectares. The joint venture is currently prospecting on the two properties and will enter into long term leases with the property owners if the results of the prospecting are favorable. The terms of these leases typically range from 10%-15% of the gold produced. Each property is owned by a separate company but are adjacent to each other. Pursuant to the prospecting contracts, the joint venture has 6 months of exploration rights with the ability to extend those rights by an additional 6 months.
The Company’s joint venture operations in Suriname are currently ahead of schedule. The Company expected the joint venture to continue its general exploration for the next 12 months. However, the Company expects within the next 30 days the joint venture will begin its bulk prospecting phase. The bulk prospecting phase is focusing on an area that can be mined with the current equipment on site. The Company does not have a timetable on how long the bulk prospecting phase is expected to continue.
The Company received the initial lab results from Suriname. The initial tests indicate approximately 4 grams of gold per ton. However, the Company expects recovery rates to be approximately 50% of the lab results.
The Company is currently financing the operations in Suriname through debt financing being provided by Renard Properties, LLC. More information on this is provided under Note 3.
Although the mining operations in Suriname look promising there are a number of risks that the joint venture is facing. These include, but not limited, to: inability to locate a rich gold vein on the properties, insufficient water during the dry season, inability to identify a water source that conforms to environmental plans for the area, cost of trucking pay dirt to a water source for processing, the possibility of not coming to terms with the claim owners, inability to properly fund the project during prospect phase and/or during production, risk of the mining camp could be robbed and risk that the material/gold could be robed during transport. Additionally, the Company’s current cash position is insufficient to cover the expected expenses related to get Suriname’s operations into the next phase. If the Company cannot borrow or raise the necessary capital required then the Company may have to sell a piece of its ownership in the joint venture or shut the operations down in Suriname.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our historical financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no material change in the market risks discussed in Item 7A of The Graystone Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive and principal financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
The reason we believe our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective is because:
|
1.
|
No independent directors;
|
|
2.
|
No segregation of duties;
|
|
3.
|
No audit committee; and
|
|
4.
|
Ineffective controls over financial reporting.
|
As of September 30, 2013, the Company has not taken any remediation actions to address these weaknesses in our controls even though they were identified in 2011. The Company’s management expects, once it is in the financial position to do so, to hire additional staff in its accounting department to be able to segregate the duties. The Company expects that the expense will be approximately $60,000 per year which would allow the Company to hire 2 new staff members.
This 10-Q does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Rule 308(b) of Regulation S-K.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
|
1.
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
|
2.
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and
|
|
3.
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company's internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.
Identified Material Weakness
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012:
Resources: As of June 30, 2013, we have no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner.
Written Policies & Procedures: We need to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions, and prepare, review and submit SEC filings in a timely manner.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
As our resources allow, we will add financial personnel to our management team. We plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions. We will also create an audit committee made up of our independent directors.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company has not taken any remediation actions to address these weaknesses in our controls even though they were identified in 2011. The Company’s management expects, once it is in the financial position to do so, to hire additional staff in its accounting department to be able to segregate the duties. The Company expects that the expense will be approximately $60,000 per year which would allow the Company to hire 2 new staff members.
(b) Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We need to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions, and prepare, review and submit SEC filings in a timely manner
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
The above statement notwithstanding, shareholders and prospective investors should be aware that certain risks exist with respect to the Company and its business, including those risk factors contained in our most recent Registration Statements on Form S-1 and Form 10, as amended. These risks include, among others: limited assets, lack of significant revenues and only losses since inception, industry risks, dependence on third party manufacturers/suppliers and the need for additional capital. The Company’s management is aware of these risks and has established the minimum controls and procedures to insure adequate risk assessment and execution to reduce loss exposure.
