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 affect upon it and its shareholders.

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 June 30, 2013, we generated sales of $40,320 and incurred a net loss of $1,355,226.  We have received no substantial revenue ($26,649 from the production of gold or other metals, and historically relied on our other divisions and equity and debt financings to finance our ongoing operations. Our operations generated a net loss of $7,312,239 from inception (March 27, 2010) through the Six Months Ending June 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.

For the six month and three months ending June 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, the Company generated the following revenue:

The increase in the Company’s Cost of Goods sold includes an increase in mining expenses that the Company incurred since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company previously classified these expenses as general expenses.

For the six month and three months ending June 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, the Company generated the following expenses:

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.    
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The following is a summary of our balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively:

   
June 30,
   
December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
Current assets
           
   Cash and cash equivalents     2,891       14,922  
   Prepaid expense     -       50,000  
   Loan to joint venture     89,624       -  
Total current assets
    92,515       64,922  
 
 
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.  The Company’s Board of Directors is currently discussing the possibility of offering $2,000,000 in a new Preferred Stock series at an interest rate of 7.5%.

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.
 
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 June 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 June 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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
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.
