Revenue and Revenue Recognition

Note 9. 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 require any 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.

The amount of revenue 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. Sales to distributors totaled approximately 14% and 23% of sales in fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. Combined sales to Greystone’s three largest customers and distributors totaled approximately 98% and 96% of sales in fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. The third large customer was a new addition during the last quarter of fiscal year 2018 and had approximately 11% of sales in fiscal year 2019.
