PART I
Item 1. Business
History and Organization
Graystone Financial Services, Inc. (The Company), formerly known
as Capital Investment Development Corp. was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Florida on June 24, 1986 with a
authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a
par value of $.0001. On October 10, 1988 the Company amended its
Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Graystone
Financial Services, Inc.
On March 16, 1987, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Bradford-Taylor Clearinghouse, Inc. Bradford-Taylor
Clearinghouse, Inc. has been inactive from inception through
July 31, 1995. Bradford-Taylor Clearinghouse, Inc. entered into
a licensing agreement with Nico Electric, A.G. on August 1, 1995
in exchange for 11.3% of the common stock of
Bradford-Taylor Clearinghouse, Inc. The licensing agreement
allows Bradford-Taylor Clearinghouse, Inc.'s use of Nico
Electric, A.G. technology for alarms and security devices up to
6Mhz and 1Mv for commercial use only. An additional 75.4% of the
common stock of Bradford-Taylor Clearinghouse, Inc. was issued
to complete the transaction. This reduces the Company's
ownership in Bradford-Taylor Clearinghouse, Inc. to 13.3%.
On June 24, 1986, the Company issued 20,000,000 shares of its
common stock to private investors for a total cash consideration
of $20,000.
In connection with a public offering in September, 1986, the
Company sold 5,500,000 shares of its common stock for $.05 per
share. Expenses incurred in connection with the public offering
of $62,458 were charged against additional paid in capital. Net
proceeds from the offering were $212,542.
Each share of common stock issued in connection with the public
offering included one class A warrant and one class B warrant.
The purchase warrants were exercisable over an eight month
period ending May 18, 1987. Each redeemable warrant entitled the
holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $.075
per share in the case of class A warrants and a price of $.10
per share of class B warrants.
<PAGE>
During the period ended May 31, 1987, 5,500,000 of class A
warrants were exercised at $.075
per share for a total cash consideration of $412,500. On May 18,
1987, the class B warrants were extended for a six months period.
In addition, in connection with the public offering 550,000
warrants were issued to the underwriter, which were exercised
commencing September, 1987 at a price of $.055 per share or an
aggregate of $30,250. The remaining 5,500,000 class B warrants
were exercised during the year ended May 31, 1988 for an
aggregate of $550,000.
On September 30, 1988, the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April
4, 1988 by and between the Company and Harp Investments, Inc., a
privately held New Jersey corporation, was approved by the
stockholders. The agreement provided for the Company to acquire
100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Graystone
Nash, Incorporated and 70% of the outstanding shares of Outwater
and Wells, Inc., (Graystone Nash owned 30% of the outstanding
shares prior to the exchange), in exchange for 59,675,000 shares
of the Company's common stock.
Additionally, 11,475,000 shares of the Company's common stock
was required to be returned to the Company by certain original
shareholders. The transaction was handled as a reverse merger.
On April 20, 1990, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. censured Graystone Nash, Incorporated and its
President, Thomas V. Ackerly. The Association fined Graystone
Nash, Incorporated and Thomas V. Ackerly $1,325,000, jointly and
severely, and expelled Graystone Nash, Incorporated from
membership in the Association and barred Thomas V. Ackerly from
association with a member of the Association.
Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission brought an
action against Graystone Nash, Incorporated and Thomas V.
Ackerly, its President, and on April 21, 1993, a judgment was
entered against the Company and Thomas V. Ackerly in the amount
of $60,565,581.00 plus interest beginning January 1, 1989. The
action was appealed and on June 1, 1994, the judgment was
reversed. Graystone Nash, Incorporated was not represented by
counsel in the new review ordered and the judgment still stands
against it. Thomas V. Ackerly, acting as his own counsel,
presented to the Court additional information to review. Upon
review by the Court, on July 10, 1995, the judgment and
pre-judgment interest was waived as to Thomas V. Ackerly. As a
result of the above actions, the subsidiary Graystone Nash,
Incorporated was forced to close and cease operations.
Also, the subsidiary Outwater and Wells, Inc. was forced to
close and cease operations in accordance with the lockup rules
of the SEC.
On April 16, 1990, the shareholders approved a 50:1 reverse
split of the Company's common stock. The reverse split reduced
the authorized shares of common stock to 4,000,000. An
additional 118 fractional shares were issued in connection with
the reverse split.

common stock to its controlling stockholder for a total cash
consideration of $75,000.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DECISIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following is management's discussion and analysis of
significant factors which have affected registrant's financial
position and operations.
Overall Situation
On September 30, 1988, the Company entered into a stock purchase
agreement dated April 4, 1988 with Harp Investments, Inc., a
privately held New Jersey corporation. The agreement provided
for the Company to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of Graystone Nash, Incorporated and 70% of the
outstanding shares of Outwater and Wells, Inc. (Graystone Nash,
Incorporated owned 30% of the outstanding shares prior to the
exchange), in exchange for 59,675,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock.
Additionally, 11,475,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
was required to be returned to the Company by certain original
shareholders. The transaction was handled as reverse merger.
On April 20, 1990, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. censured Graystone Nash, Incorporated and its
President, Thomas V. Ackerly. The Association fined Graystone
Nash, Incorporated and Thomas V. Ackerly $1,325,000, jointly and
severely, and expelled Graystone Nash, Incorporated from
membership in the Association and barred Thomas V. Ackerly from
association with a member of the Association.
Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission brought an
action against Graystone Nash, Incorporated and Thomas V.
Ackerly, its President, and on April 21, 1993 a judgment was
entered against the Company and Thomas V. Ackerly in the amount
of $60,565,581.00 plus interest beginning January 1, 1989. The
action was appealed and on June 1, 1994, the judgment was
reversed. Graystone Nash, Incorporated was not represented by
counsel in the new review ordered and the judgment stands
against it. Thomas V. Ackerly, acting as his own counsel,
presented to the Court additional information to review. Upon
review by the Court on July 10, 1995, the judgment and
pre-judgment interest was waived as to Thomas V. Ackerly. As a
result of the above actions, the subsidiary Graystone Nash,
Incorporated was forced to close and cease operations.
Also, the subsidiary Outwater and Wells, Inc. was forced to
close and cease operations in accordance with the lockup rules
of the SEC.
<PAGE>
The Company's business plan is to seek potential businesses that
may, in the opinion of Management, warrant the Company's
involvement. The Company acknowledges that as a result of its
limited financial resources, acquiring a suitable business will
be extremely difficult; however, the Company's principal
business objective will be to seek long term growth potential in
the business in which it participates, rather than immediate,
short term earnings. In seeking to attain its business
objectives, the Company will not restrict its search to any
particular industry. Management has no assurance that it will be
successful in its attempt to raise such capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has increased its assets principally by the increase
in trading securities of stocks that had little or no value in
the prior year and continues to have a very small amount of
liabilities. It is the intent of Management to seek potential
businesses in which to acquire through the issuance of the
Company's common stock. In addition, to make private placement
of common stock as a means of raising capital to propel the
Company into new arenas of high earnings potential. Additional
funding will be necessary in order to achieve these goals.
