THE GRAYSTONE COMPANY, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF September 30, 2011
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
Note 1 – Nature of Operations
 
The Graystone Company, Inc. (“Graystone”, “we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was originally incorporated in the State of New York on May 27, 2010 under the name of Argentum Capital, Inc.   Graystone was reincorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2011 and subsequently to The Graystone Company, Inc on January 14, 2011.  Graystone is domiciled in the state of Delaware, and its corporate headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
 
Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management feels the limited history of the Company and its future cash needs to implement its business plan raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused shareholders to express substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
 
The Company’s current assets are not deemed to be sufficient to fund ongoing expenses related to the planned expansion of operations. In order to implement its entire business plan, the Company will need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings or through loans from shareholders or others. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully raise additional capital and eventually attain profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or execute its business strategy.
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by in accordance with accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America.  
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries under its control. All of the material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Unaudited interim financial information
 
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2010 contained in the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on March 23, 2011 related to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (File No. 333-171893). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the results of cash flows of the Company for the nine months ended September 31, 2011,  and the financial position of the Company as of September 31, 2011. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year or any other future year or interim period.
 
Accounting Method
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31. 
 
 
(Note 2 – Continued)
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which differ by asset category. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets:
 
Office Equipment
Five Years, 150% Double Declining
Furniture and Fixtures
Ten Years, 150% Double Declining
Equipment
Five Years, 200% Double Declining
Delivery Vehicle
Five Years, 200% Double Declining
Leasehold Improvements
Five Years, Straight-line
 
Expenditures associated with upgrades and enhancements that improve, add functionality, or otherwise extend the life of a respective asset are capitalized, while expenditures that do not, such as repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. The residual value of property and equipment is estimated to be equal to 10% of the original cost, except for no residual value for leasehold improvements.  Upon disposal, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts, and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations.
 
Property and equipment to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. No impairments of such assets were identified during any of the periods presented.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
If the Company is successful in raising funds and becoming a business development company, its principal estimates will involve the determination of the value of its portfolio companies.
 
The net asset value per share of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will be determined quarterly, as soon as practicable after, and as of the end of, each calendar quarter, by dividing the value of total assets minus total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding at the date as of which such determination is made.
 
In calculating the value of our total assets, we will value securities that are publicly traded at the closing price on the valuation date for exchange traded and NASDAQ listed securities or the average of the bid and asked prices for other securities.  Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation committee of our board of directors based on the recommendation by our investment adviser and under valuation guidelines adopted by our board of directors, and then approved by our entire board of directors.  Initially, the fair value of these securities will be their original cost. Debt securities valued at cost would be revalued for significant events affecting the issuer's performance and equity securities valued at cost would be revalued if significant developments or other factors affecting the investment provide a basis for valuing the security at a price other than cost, such as results of subsequent financing, the availability of market quotations, the portfolio company's operations and changes in market conditions.
 
Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase will be valued at amortized cost.  Debt securities which are publicly traded will be valued by using market quotations obtained from pricing services or dealers.  Our valuation guidelines are subject to periodic review by our board of directors and may be revised in light of our experience, regulatory developments or otherwise.
 
Determination of fair values involves subjective judgment and estimates not susceptible to substantiation by auditing procedures.  Accordingly, under current auditing standards, the notes to our financial statements will refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our financial statements.
 
Cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. 
 
 
(Note 2 – Continued)
 
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate goodwill carrying values exceed estimated reporting unit fair values and if indefinite useful lives are no longer appropriate for the Company’s trademarks. Based on the impairment tests performed, there was no impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets in fiscal 2010. Definite-lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives. For further information on goodwill and other intangible assets, see Note 4.
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share
 
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the dilutive effects of Class A Common Stock equivalents on an “as if converted” basis. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same due to the absence of Class A Common Stock equivalents.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" "Statement 109").  Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  There were no current or deferred income tax expenses or benefits due to the Company not having any material operations since inception.
 
Net profit/loss per common share
 
Net profit/loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and potentially outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock during each period.  As of September 30, 2011, there were options that have vested equal to 1,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
Recently issued accounting standards
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” which updated guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This update requires new disclosures on significant transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (including the reasons for these transfers) and the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3. This update also requires a reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure requirements, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. For example, this update clarifies that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities rather than each major category of assets and liabilities. This update also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This update will become effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will become effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The Company will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
There are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.

Exploration Program
 
Shortly after our initial acquisition of the property interests in Peru, we commenced the initial stages of our exploration and development program and carried out the following activities:

·  
Completed an initial social base line study to document all surface rights owners and people resident in the project area;
·  
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 principle objective of our planned exploration and development program is to bring a dredge and appropriately matched floating plant onto the property to assist us in conducting trial mining tests which requires that we undertake the following actions:

·  
Drill an area on the property where known mineralization;
·  
Extend the resource though a wider-spaced program of reconnaissance drilling so as to indicate the potential size of the deposit;
·  
Perform additional geotechnical and metallurgical studies to complement existing information in order to prepare the optimum processing route to be adopted in the exploitation phase; and
·  
Prepare scoping, prefeasibility, and full feasibility studies.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our Company
 
The Graystone Company, Inc. (“Graystone”, “we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was originally incorporated in the State of New York on May 27, 2010 under the name of Argentum Capital, Inc.   Graystone was reincorporated in Delaware on January 10, 2011 and subsequently renamed the Company to The Graystone Company, Inc on January 14, 2011.  Graystone is domiciled in the state of Delaware, and its corporate headquarters are located in New York, New York. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Business of Registrant
 
The Graystone Company, Inc. is a holding company operating various divisions engaged in a number of diverse business activities. The Company began operating in July 2010 under the d/b/a paypercallexchange.com.  In November 2010, the Company began operating separate division to provide consulting services.  In January 2011, the Company began to operate a real estate division and natural resources division.
 
Natural Resources Division. This division began operating in January 2011and operates the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Graystone Mining, Inc., a Nevada Company.   This Division is engaged in the business of acquiring gold, silver, precious metal and gems and other mineral properties with proven and/or probable reserves.  The Company has currently begun mining operations in Peru.  The Company's Natural Resources Division is a mine processing entity whereby we locate and extract mineral deposits for refining.  The Company does not engage in general exploration activities.  Exploration involves the prospecting, sampling, mapping, drilling and other work involved in searching for ore on properties.   Exploration is time consuming and costly as it requires an evaluation of the land's geology, analyst of the geochemistry of soil sediment and water, and drilling of numerous test holes and testing these for the presence of minerals.  The Company instead focuses on acquiring or entering into joint ventures with entities that have already found, through exploration, proven or probable mineral ore reserves.  This allows the Company to focus its attention on processing mineral resources instead of having to also have exploration activities to locate new sites that may have mineral ore deposits.  Thereby, the Company can more efficiently explore the properties that it acquires, or has a joint venture with, that have proven or probable reserves and deploy the Company's resources and machinery; thereby, allowing the Company to generate revenue quicker since its properties will already have a map of possible ore locations.

Graystone Mining focuses on acquiring properties that require a lower capital investment to begin mining operations. This approach may reduce the size of the deposits that the Company can acquire.  However, by generating revenue from smaller mining ventures, the Company can build a solid foundation and the needed infrastructure  to undertake larger and more costly ventures, such as hard rock projects. Thereby the Company is focusing initially on alluvial mining (surface mining) projects, the Company can begin generating a positive cash flow for a smaller capital investment.
  
The Company currently owns 400 hectares and is in the process of completing the acquisition of another 800 hectares.  One hectares equals 2.47 acres.  The Company expects to acquire 10,000 hectares by the end of 2012.   The Company anticipates that its cost of acquiring properties with proven or probable reserves will cost between 20% and 25% of the total amount that is extracted from these properties.  Additionally, the acquisition cost of the machinery needed to perform the extraction is expected to be between $50,000 and $500,000.  The staffing costs related to the extraction of the mineral ore will be between 25% and 30% of the total amount that is extracted from these sites.  Thereby, the Company anticipates the cost of property and equipment acquisition and the labor and mining operations related to extracting gold on its properties to be approximately 55% of the gross value of the gold extracted from its properties.  The company currently has eight (8) employees in Peru.
 
 
The Company has finalized the purchase of 100% of  Grupo Minero Inca S.A.C., a Peruvian Company (“GMI”). GMI is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  GMI provides the Company a local Peruvian entity.  Acting through GMI, the Company can acquire concessions in its own name and directly hire employees and staff in Peru instead of using third parties for these purposes.  The Company will coordinate all of its activities in Peru through GMI. The corporate structure of this division is as follows:
 


 
Mining Project: Gorilla

The Company's initial mining site consist of 400 hectares and is referred to Gorilla.  The Company completed its initial bulk sampling activities on Gorilla.  From May 20 through July 5, 2011, the company completed 23 days of bulk sampling.    The Company expects to begin full scale mapping and environmental impact study once the Company obtains the necessary capital of approximately $50,000.   Once the Company has mapped the property, we will need to raise $500,000 to acquire the necessary equipment to begin larger bulk sampling operations on this property.
 
Marketing Division.  This division operates under d/b/a paypercallexchange.com. This division began operating in July 2010.  The division serves as an advertising and customer acquisition firm for 3rd party entities.  The Company places generic interactive advertisements, through our proprietary process and technologies, in numerous mediums, e.g. print, web, skype and mobile. These generic advertisements are placed for different services and products, e.g. cable & satellite services, mortgage refinancing, credit repair, travel agent services, auto insurance, substance abuse rehabilitation, 24-hour locksmith, website development, cosmetic surgery, timeshares, cruises and legal services.  Each of these advertisements have a unique phone number for individuals interested in the products or services to call for more information.  When an individual calls that specific phone number, the call is automatically forward to one of our clients, which we refer to as a lead.  The software tracks the time and date of the phone call, the duration of the phone call, the caller id, city and state of the caller, repeat calls from the same number, the number the call was transferred to and the advertisement that generated the call.  The Company charges its clients for each call that is transferred to them in which the duration is over an agreed upon length (usually 15 seconds).

Our  proprietary process and software includes the knowledge of how to generate the maximum number of calls at the lowest cost possible, the type of advertisements placed, the days and hours of such advertisement placement, the medium such advertisements should be placed, the ability to track the advertisement's efficiency and to track the results of each advertisement placed.   Through the use of these proprietary methods, the company provides lead sources to our clients at competitive pricing.  The Company generated 4,428 leads during the third quarter of 2011 and 14,822 during the nine-months ending September 30, 2011. 
  
Consulting Division.  This division operates under d/b/a Graystone Ventures.  Graystone Ventures began operating in November 2010.  This division is a strategic, financial and operational consulting entity, which allows clients to outsource aspects of their business.  This division focuses primarily on early staged companies and public companies in the nano-cap an micro-cap but also assists growth and mature companies as well.  This division provides services in the areas of marketing, sales and operations.  We strive to create and manage combined cost-reduction/expansion strategies for our clients.   The Company refers to nano-cap companies as those with a market capitalization if under $10 Million and micro-cap companies as those with a market capitalization if under $100 Million.  The Company believes that these entities cannot afford internal staff to handle the services that we provide and therefore are looking for cost effective alternatives.

Operational Consulting:   We assist companies in implementing strategies to achieve their business and corporate objectives through business and management consulting services, organizational transformation, and business communications.  Clients can outsource certain aspects of their business to us such as review of staffing needs, plans for staff reduction or recruitment, coordinating with outside counsel, accountants (or auditors if the company is publicly traded) and other professionals.  These activities may include assisting clients in creating and following budgets, expansion plans, acquisition plans, staff reduction plans, staff retention efforts, and coordinating communication with its clients, investors, and/or shareholders.   This allows the client's management to focus on its business and the implementation of its business plan.

Marketing/Sales Consulting:  We assist companies in the development and implementation of marketing plans and budgets to increase awareness of its brands and increase sales while reducing the expense associated with these activities.  Many companies cannot afford to hire a marketing coordinator; as such we serve as an outsourced option whereby we coordinate advertising buying, creative design, and expansion of its marketing plan into areas such as TV and radio advertising.  Additionally, if our clients marketing plan have a pay per call component we can service these needs through our marketing division, paypercallexchange.com.
 
 
Real Estate Division.  This division began operations in January 2011 and acquired its initial property on March 30, 2011.  On March 30, 2011, the Company retained the services of a consultant to manage its properties and locate additional properties in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area.
 
The Real Estate Division focuses on the acquisition, development and management of single-family and mutli-family properties in the United States.  Our real estate acquisitions are expected to include:
 
·
income-producing residential properties;
·
properties undervalued and/or  in need of some repairs; and
·
new development properties.
 
We intend to seek potential property acquisitions meeting the above criteria and which are located throughout the United States. We believe the most important criteria for evaluating the markets in which we intend to purchase properties include:
 
·
historic and projected population growth;
·
historically high levels of tenant demand and lower historic investment volatility for the type of property being acquired;
·
markets with historic and growing numbers of a qualified and affordable workforce;
·
high historic and projected employment growth;
·
markets where demographics support need for senior living and healthcare related facilities;
·
markets with high levels of insured populations;
·
stable household income and general economic stability; and
·
sound real estate fundamentals, such as high occupancy rates and strong rent rate potential.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
For the Period Ending September 30, 2011.
 
For the period ending September 30, 2011the Company had $623 in cash, $18,268 in Accounts Receivables $1,725,000 in Long Term Securities, $70,742 in fixed assets and $15,000 in intangible assets for a total of $1,829,633 in assets. In management’s opinion, the Company’s cash position is insufficient to maintain its operations at the current level for the next 12 months.  Any expansion may cause the Company to require additional capital until such expansion began generating revenue. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors.
 
Since the Company distributes it profits in the form of dividends to its shareholders, we are seeking to raise additional funds to meet our expansion needs.  It is anticipated that the raise of additional funds will principally be through the sales of our securities.  As of the date of this report, additional funding has not been secured and no assurance may be given that we will be able to raise additional funds.   
 
As of September 30, 2011, our total liabilities were $291,617. 
 
During fiscal 2011, we expect that the legal and accounting costs of being a public company will continue to impact our liquidity. Other than the anticipated increases in legal and accounting costs due to the reporting requirements of being a reporting company, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.
 
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.  However, this is dependent on whether we can finance the cost of the machinery, as described above.  If we cannot obtain such financing, our officers, directors and principal shareholders have verbally committed to providing the Company with a line of credit, that has been secured by shares of the Company, to be used exclusively to acquire machinery and property with mineral reserves.  This is the only amount and for that our officers, directors and principal shareholders have committed to.
 
Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. In order to implement our business plan in the manner we envision, we will need to raise additional capital.  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.
 
The Company believes it would need a minimum of $500,000 to expand it mining operations and be able to fully fund those operations and the company’s on-going reporting obligations as a public company over the next 12 months.  This is broken down as follows:
 
Natural Resource Div.:
$450,000 for the acquisition extraction machinery for the company's properties.  
Travel:
$25,000 for travel to and from Gold claims in Peru.
Working Capital:
$25,000 for general administrative purposes and the Company’s on-going reporting.
 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
We have not had any disagreements with our auditors on any matters of accounting principles, practices, or financial statement disclosure.
