"The addition of the pallet leasing customer has had a significant impact on Greystone's sales and operations," stated Warren Kruger, President and CEO. "Greystone incurred substantial costs necessary to achieve this growth including an approximately 68% increase in the number of employees over the prior period. The pallet leasing company's demand for pallets is expected to be a continuing major source of revenue for Greystone. To meet this demand, we continued to invest in our company's future through the addition of another injection-molding machine under a capital lease during the quarter ended August 31, 2016 and a second machine in September, 2016. Further, we will be focusing on improving the returns for our shareholders through improvements in operating efficiencies and cost containment to achieve better margins."
