Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and 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 and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012. 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations

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. (“H&H Glass” or “H&H”), in exchange for 3,915,000 shares of its common stock in a reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”). H&H Glass is a glass importer that supplies custom products such as perfume bottles and food condiment bottles, plus provides complementary services such as container design and mold making.

Organization and Line of Business

Organization and Line of Business

International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was originally incorporated as Interactive Medical Technologies, Ltd., on June 2, 1986, in the state of Delaware. On April 17, 2008, IPL Group converted from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada Corporation.

EZ Link Holdings Ltd.

EZ Link Holdings Ltd.

EZ Link Holdings Ltd. was incorporated in 2009, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Company has no substantive operations of its own.

EZ Link Corp., a Taiwan company established in July 2003 with initial registered capital of NTD 13,500,000, is a freight forwarder with current networks of locations in China, Hong Kong, South East Asia, North East Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe, and holds the licenses and approvals necessary to operate its business in China.

Taiwan law currently has limits on foreign ownership of companies. To comply with these foreign ownership restrictions, on December 31, 2009, EZ Link Holdings entered into following exclusive agreements with EZ Link Corp. and its owners (collectively the “Contractual Arrangements”):

(1) Consulting Services Agreement, through which EZ Link Holdings has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate EZ Link Corp. and collect and own all of its net profits;

(2) Operating Agreement, through which EZ Link Holdings has the right to recommend director candidates and appoint the senior executives of EZ Link Corp, approve any transactions that may materially affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of EZ Link Corp, and guarantee the contractual performance by EZ Link Corp. of any agreements with third parties, in exchange for a pledge by EZ Link Corp. of its accounts receivable and assets.

In consideration of services provided by the consultant, EZ Link Corp will pay a consulting fee equal to all of its net income on a quarterly basis. There was a cumulative net loss from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 of $3,735.

The terms of these Consulting Agreements begin as of the date of the Contractual Agreements, and shall continue in perpetuity, unless terminated in accordance with relevant provisions in the agreements or by any other agreement reached by all parties.

Consolidation of variable interest entities

Consolidation of variable interest entities

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity (“VIE”). 

Voting interest entities are entities that have sufficient equity and provide the equity investors voting rights that give them the power to make significant decisions related to the entity’s operations.  The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest.  Accordingly, the Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiary, EZ Link Corp, in which it holds more than 50% of the voting rights or where control is exercised through other contractual rights. 

VIEs are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity.  Either the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.  The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE.  The Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries are not considered VIEs. 

The Company's consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities and earnings of a subsidiary, EZ Link Corp, which is more than 50% owned and control is established.  The ownership interest of the minority owners of the Company’s subsidiary is called non controlling interest.

The Company has concluded that EZ Link Corp is a VIE and that the Company’s 51% owned subsidiary, EZ Link Holdings, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of EZ Link Corp. and enables the Company to receive a majority of its expected residual returns. Accordingly, the Company accounts for EZ Link Corp. as a VIE as of January 1, 2010.

The initial measurement of the assets and liabilities of EZ Link Corp. for the purpose of consolidation by the Company is at fair value. EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. has had no other business activities except for the entering into of the exclusive agreements with EZ Link Corp. and its shareholders.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements for the Company, its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity, EZ Link Corp. and EZ Link Corp.’s subsidiary EZ Link International. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity are eliminated upon consolidation.

Country Risk

Country risk

As EZ Link Holding, Ltd. principal operations are conducted in Taiwan, it is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the US. These risks include, among others, risks associated with the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange limitations encountered in Taiwan. The EZ Link Holdings results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in Taiwan, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, among other things.

In addition, most of the transactions undertaken in Taiwan are denominated in New Taiwan Dollars (“NTD”), which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of Taiwan may be considered. Both the conversion of NTD into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require the approval of the Taiwan government.  Therefore, it is assumed that there will be limitations of distribution of profits from EZ Link Corp. to EZ Link Holdings.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. EZ Link Corp’s functional currency is New Taiwan Dollars (NTD), however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been re-measured and presented in United States Dollars ($).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IPL Group and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The Company’s subsidiaries include H&H Glass and 51% of EZ Link Holdings, Ltd.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2013, include EZ Link Holdings, Ltd., and subsidiaries from the January 1, 2010 date of acquisition. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Estimates

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 and depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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.

Contract in Place

Contract in Place

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. Rather, they are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  Contracts in place is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our consolidated balance sheets.  We have elected December 31 as the date to perform our annual impairment test.  

The contract in place represents the fair value of the consulting contract and operating agreement between EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. and EZ Link Corp.

Revenue Recognition

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.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

As of June 30, 2013 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 are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Such amounts were not material during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Cash flow from the Company's operations included in the statement of cash flows is calculated based upon the functional currency using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with arithmetical changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet. No presentation is made that the NTD amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at the rates used in translation.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains balances in a Money Market Fund that is not federally insured. Balances in this fund were $54,909 and $956,365 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

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 June 30, 2013, 75.6% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to three customers. As of December 31, 2012, 85.0% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to three customers.

At June 30, 2013 and 2012 H&H Glass had allowance for doubtful reserves of $16,194 and $16,194 respectively.

At June 30, 2013 and 2012 EZ Link had an allowance for doubtful reserves of $5,378 and $6,815 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 June 30, 2013 and 2012.  During the three-month period ending June 30, 2013 and 2012, H&H Glass purchased $7,271,607 and $7,048,372of products from this vendor, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, H&H Glass purchased $14,528,397 and $12,926,700 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. 

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling Interest

The Company accounts for its non-controlling interest of 49% in EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. in the condensed 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

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 are 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.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports and displays comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose consolidated financial statements. The Company’s translation loss of $28,064 and $6,718 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and a loss of $16,436 and a loss of $6,405 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, relate to the translation of financial statements from New Taiwan Dollar to US Dollars.
