1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial activity of International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., (“IPL Group” or “the Company”) a publicly traded company listed and traded on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year end is on December 31.

 

The foregoing unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.

 

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumption are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

On July 2, 2007, International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, YesRx.com (“YesRx”) acquired all the outstanding shares of H&H Glass, Inc.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include an allowance for doubtful accounts deferred tax assets and liabilities, depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include amounts invested in a money market account with a financial institution. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes product revenue provided that (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery to the customer has occurred, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection is reasonably assured.  Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. The price is considered fixed or determinable when it is not subject to refund or adjustments. Outbound shipping and handling charges are included in net sales and cost of goods sold.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). All inventories consists of finished goods.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The accounts of the EZ Link were maintained, and its consolidated financial statements were expressed, in NTD. Such consolidated financial statements were translated into USD with NTD as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the consolidated balance sheet dates, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and the statements of income items were translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments were reported under other comprehensive income in 2014 and earlier periods. In 2015, the EZ Link operations have been presented as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the other comprehensive income previously accumulated has been recognized as income from discontinued operations in 2015, and consequently the foreign currency translation adjustments are eliminated as of December 31, 2015.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains balances in a Money Market Fund that is not federally insured. Balances in this fund were $91,816 and $681,678 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. It generally requires no collateral and maintains reserves for potential credit losses on customer accounts, when necessary. As of March 31, 2016, 82.1% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to four customers. As of December 31, 2015, 80.3% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to three customers.

 

At March 31, 2016 and 2015 H&H Glass had allowance for doubtful reserves of $0 and $0 respectively.

 

In general the Company will reserve a receivable based one of the following reasons; if the receivable is over 90 days old the company will reserve 50% and if over 12 months old the Company will reserve 100% of the amount.

 

H&H Glass purchased 100% of its glass from one vendor in the three- month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015.  During the three-month period ending March 31, 2016 and 2015, H&H Glass purchased $7,320,629 and $7,907,289 of products from this vendor, respectively. This concentration is due to the relatively small size of H&H Glass’s orders.  H&H Glass’s specialized short-run custom orders generally are not attractive to larger glass manufacturers.  As customer orders have been growing in size, H&H Glass has begun to seek additional suppliers.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

IPLO sold its interest in EZ Link as of February 28, 2015.

 

The Company accounted for its non-controlling interest of 49% in EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. in the consolidated financial statements classified as a separate component of equity. In addition, net earnings, and components of other comprehensive income are attributed to both the Company and non-controlling interest.

 

Net Earnings/(Loss) per Share

 

Earnings/(loss) per common share is computed on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Basic earnings per share is computed as net loss applicable to common stockholders’ divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through convertible preferred shares, stock options, warrants and other convertible securities when the effect would be dilutive. There were no dilutive securities for the three months ending March 31, 2016 and 2015 due to the Company incurring a net loss for that period.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes using the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes during the year.

 

 

International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2016

 

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax asset if it is “more likely than not” that the related tax benefits will not be realized.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance ASC Topic 740. Realization of an uncertain income tax position must be estimated as “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, the recognition of tax benefits is required to be recorded in the financial statements to be based on the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information. ASC 740 also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has not recognized any obligation for uncertain tax positions.

 

EZ Link, Corporation is governed by the Taiwan’s Income Tax Law and local income tax laws. Pursuant to the Taiwan Income Tax Law, enterprises are subject to tax at a statutory rate of 17%. The local government has also provided companies with various incentives to encourage economic development in the region. Such incentives include reduced tax rates and other measures.

 

2. Preferred Stock Transactions

 

Series B Preferred Shares:

 

These shares have been repurchased and retired as a result of the sale of EZ Link as of February 28, 2015.

 

The Preferred Shares were convertible into common shares in two equal tranches, the first being upon completion and receipt of the year ending December 31, 2010, financials if all of the following performance targets are met by EZ Link:

 

(a) Maintain revenues and before tax earnings same as the prior 12 month period; and

(b) Maintained a positive cash flow from operations over the prior 12 month period.

 

These criteria were not met, so there were no conversions as of February 28, 2015.  These certificates were returned to the Company pursuant to the sale of EZ Link back to its original shareholders.

 

Series A Preferred Shares:

 

The Series A Preferred shares are convertible into common shares on a 1:1 ratio at a fixed rate of $3 per share.  Preferred shares have no voting rights, have no redemption rights and earn no dividends.  Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not permitted to convert their stock into common shares until the Company’s market capital reaches $15,000,000.  Upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the sum of $0.0001 per share (the “Liquidation Rate”) before any payment or distribution shall be made on any other class of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

March 31, 2016

 

 

2. Preferred Stock Transactions - continued

 

ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.

 

A mandatorily redeemable financial instrument shall be classified as a liability unless the redemption is required to occur only upon the liquidation or termination of the reporting entity. A financial instrument issued in the form of shares is mandatorily redeemable if it embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event certain to occur. A financial instrument that embodies a conditional obligation to redeem the instrument by transferring assets upon an event not certain to occur becomes mandatorily redeemable—and, therefore becomes a liability—if that event occurs, the condition is resolved, or the event becomes certain to occur.

 

The Company determined that the preferred shares are not mandatorily or conditionally redeemable and are properly classified as permanent equity in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Series B Preferred Shares

 

As of January 1, 2010 pursuant to the purchase agreement for 51% ownership in EZ Link Holdings Ltd., approximately 47% of the purchase price amount $400,000 was paid in Series B convertible preferred shares of IPL Group, Inc. at a per share value of $1.00, or 400,000 shares. As a result of the divesture of EZ LINK, the Company received from EZ Link shareholders the 400,000 shares of Series B preferred stock.

8. Earnings per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and adjusting for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potential participating securities that were deemed to be anti-dilutive are noted below for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Capital Resources

 

Over the next twelve months, management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from operations.

 

Federal Income Tax

 

The Company deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

EZ Link Corporation is governed by Taiwan’s Income Tax Law and local income tax laws. Pursuant to the Taiwan Income Tax Law, enterprises are subject to tax at a statutory rate of 17%. The local government has also provided companies with various incentives to encourage economic development in the region. Such incentives include reduced tax rates and other measures.

 

 

 

 

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2016, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2016.

 

Management identified the following control deficiencies that constitute material weaknesses that are not fully remediated as of the filing date of this report:

 

Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. There is mainly one person involved in processing of transactions. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties. We have hired an additional administrative person and retained an outside professional firm to assist in mitigating the separation of duties issues on an ongoing basis. The use of the outside firm has proven successful in assisting in the separation of duties. However, additional people are not needed to do the administrative work therefore segregation of duties will continue to be an ongoing weakness.

 

Similarly, the EZ Link operation also has a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties. Its size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. We have retained an outside professional firm to assist in the separation of duties on an ongoing basis. The use of the outside firm has proven successful in assisting in the separation of duties, however, it did not fully mitigate the segregation of duties issue at EZ Link prior to the divesture of EZ Link as of February 28, 2015.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity's disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the current quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
