(OTC BB:GLGI.OB - News), announced today unaudited results for the quarter ended August 31, 2007. Operating profit for the quarter ended August 31, 2007 was $458,521 with net income before preferred dividends of $176,604. Net income available to common shareholders after preferred dividends was $31,672, or $0.00 per share of common stock, compared to a net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2006 of $(542,282), or $(0.02) per share of common stock. Sales were $5,597,211 for the quarter ending August 31, 2007 compared to $3,881,134 for the same period last year for an increase of 44%. The increase is primarily attributable to production of the new 48x40 recycled plastic shipping pallets for a national customer and a marked increase in sales from other product lines. The new 48x40 molds were put into service in the last month of the quarter ended May 31, 2007. Greystone's EBITDA (earnings before interest (including preferred dividends), income taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the quarter ended August 31, 2007 was $690,461, compared to $119,997 for the three months ended August 31, 2006. "Our entire team continues to work hard to achieve positive results as evidenced by the fact that our company has attained positive EBITDA in each of the last two completed quarters. Production manager Ron Schelhaas has the pallet production and recycling facilities' humming and Bob Noland, our new Vice President of Sales and Marketing, just completed the upgrade of our web site www.greystonelogistics.com. Our pallet leasing software is in the testing phase and our sales team is continuing to hear from existing and potential customers seeking 'green,' environmental friendly and sustainable alternatives in their logistics management," said Warren Kruger, CEO of Greystone. Kruger continued, "Our 100% recycled plastic export and 48x40 pallets are a big hit with our customers and we were able to show off our entire line of pallets at the recent National Packaging Expo show in Las Vegas. We look forward to continue building on our recent success for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders."
