On April 17, 2008, the Company redomiciled form the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada.

On May 15, 2016, the Company, and Xiuhua Song (the “Purchaser”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which IPLO (the “Seller”) would sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase from the Seller, an aggregate of 3,915,000 newly issued shares of IPLO Common Stock (the “Shares”), which Shares represented 87% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. On July 1, 2016, this transaction was completed.

On July 1, 2016, Standard Resources Ltd. (“Standard”) previously IPLO’s Majority Stockholder, and IPLO entered into a share purchase agreement (“H&H Vend Out”) whereby Standard would cancel 3,915,000 shares of IPLO common stock held by it in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of H&H Glass. The H&H Glass Vend Out was completed on August 31, 2016.

On July 1, 2016, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among Yibaoccyb Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company (“Yibaoccyb”), and the stockholders of 51% of Yibaoccyb’s common stock (the “Yibaoccyb Shareholders”), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand. Yibaoccyb owns 100% of YibaoConfucian Co., Ltd. (“YibaoHK”), a Hong Kong company. YibaoHK will own 100% of Shenzhen Confucian Biologics Co. Ltd. (yet to be formed, “Yibao”), which will be a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). On August 31, 2016, YibaoHK entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Shandong Confucian Biologics Co., Ltd. (“Confucian”) which is a limited liability company headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC. The contractual arrangements are discussed below.

The Exchange Agreement was completed on August 31, 2016 concurrent with the H&H Vend Out. The Company issued 2,040,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (the “IPLO Shares”) to the Yibaoccyb Shareholders in exchange for 51% of the common stock of Yibaoccyb (the “Exchange Agreement”).

On December 22, 2016, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”). As a result of the Amendment, the Company’s corporate name was changed from International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc. to YBCC, Inc.

Yibaoccyb Limited is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on May 30, 2016. Other than all the issued and outstanding shares of Yibao Confucian Co. Ltd., Yibaoccyb has no other assets or operations.

Details of the Company’s structure as of December 31, 2018, is as follow:

[organizational chart here]

Reverse Merger Accounting

Reverse Merger Accounting - Since YBCC and Yibaoccyb were entities under Mrs. Song’s common control prior to the share exchange, the transaction was accounted for as a restructuring transaction in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). YBCC has recast prior period consolidated financial statements to reflect the conveyance of Yibaoccyb’s common shares as if the restructuring transaction had occurred as of the earliest date of the consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

Basis of Accounting and Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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. Confucian’s functional currency is Chinese Yuan (CNY), however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been re-measured and presented in United States Dollars ($).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YBCC and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The Company’s subsidiaries include 51% of Yibaoccyb, YibaoHK and Confucian, of which 49% of Yibaoccyb’s consolidated operating results was shown in non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimate and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory, depreciation, useful lives of property and equipment, deferred income taxes, useful life of intangible assets, and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable - The Company extends credit to its customers. Accounts receivable was recorded at the contract amount after deduction of trade discounts and, allowances, if any, and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts, when necessary, is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses from accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, accounts receivable was $67,339 and $0, respectively. The Company believes that its accounts receivables are fully collectable and determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary.

Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories - Inventory, comprised principally of finished goods, work in progress, raw material and packaging material, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using first-in, first-out method.

	December 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Finished goods	$	135,996	$	7,106
Work in progress		45,012		47,292
Raw materials		87,193		46,902
Packaging material		36,960		26,035
Total	$	305,161	$	127,335

The Company periodically estimates an inventory allowance for estimated unmarketable inventories. Inventory amounts are reported net of such allowances, if any. There were no allowances for inventory as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of a constructed asset are accumulated in the account Construction-in-Progress until the asset is placed into service. When the asset is completed and placed into service, the account Construction-in-Progress will be credited for the accumulated costs of the asset and will be debited to the appropriate Property, Plant and Equipment account. Depreciation begins after the asset has been placed into service.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; major expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Assets that are still kept in service after reaching the end of their estimated useful lives are depreciated over the estimated useful life of their residual value. Gain or loss on disposal of property, plant, and equipment is recognized as non-operating income or expenses.

Depreciation is computed by applying the following methods and estimated lives:

Category	Estimated Life	Method
Manufacturing equipment	10	Straight Line
Office equipment	5	Straight Line
Buildings	20	Straight Line

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets - Land use rights represent the exclusive right to occupy and use a piece of land in the PRC during the contractual term of the land use right. Land use rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the respective periods of the rights of 50 years or the remaining period of the rights upon acquisition.

Non-Controlling Interest

Non-Controlling Interest - The Company accounted for its non-controlling interest of 49% in Yibaoccyb as a separate component of equity. In addition, net loss, and components of other comprehensive income are attributed to both the Company and non-controlling interest.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition - We account for a contract with a customer when the written contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Substantially all of our revenue is derived by fulfilling customer orders for the purchase of our products under contracts which contain a single performance obligation, to supply continually defined quantities of product at fixed prices. We account for shipping and handling activities that occur before the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than as an additional promised service. We recognize revenue at the point in time that control of the ordered product(s) is transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery to the customer, or its designee at a customer location or other customer-designated delivery point.

Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as accounts receivables on our consolidated balance sheets and require payment on a short-term basis. Invoices are generally issued at the point control transfers and substantially all of our invoices are due within 30 days or less. Periodically, we require payment prior to the point in time we recognize revenue. Amounts received from customers prior to revenue recognition on a contract are contract liabilities, are classified as customer deposit on our consolidated balance sheets and are typically applied to an invoice within 30 days of receipt. There were around $0.14 million in customer deposit as of December 31, 2018.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold - Cost of goods sold includes cost of inventory sold during the period, net of discounts and inventory allowances, freight and shipping costs, warranty and rework costs, and sales tax.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company applies FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets. In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company will recognize the impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to those assets. There are no impairment of our long-lived assets for the year ended 2018 and 2017.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes - The Company adopts FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated 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.

In accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB ASC Topic 740”, which requires income tax positions to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, management considered that the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change because of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities or deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The Company has made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by ASC 740-10 and has not recognized any material uncertain tax positions.

In addition, companies in the PRC are required to pay an Enterprise Income Tax at 25%.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation - The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). The reporting currency is that of the US Dollar. Assets, liabilities and owners’ contribution are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign currency exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollar at the rates used in translation.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into USD for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:

December 31, 2018
Balance sheet	RMB 6.88 to US $1.00
Statement of operation and other comprehensive income	RMB 6.61 to US $1.00
December 31, 2017
Balance sheet	RMB 6.51 to US $1.00
Statement of operation and other comprehensive income	RMB 6.76 to US $1.00

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs - Inputs based on valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure, fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented at fair value on a recurring basis. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, advances from customers, accounts payable, taxes payable, accrued liabilities and other payables, and loan from bank, approximated their fair values due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

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 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. In this case, the Preferred Shares would not be dilutive since the conversion price is $3.00 and the quoted price is significantly lower than the conversion price. Therefore, there were no dilutive securities for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications - Certain classifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”. The amendments add further guidance on identifying performance obligations and also to improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The Company has adopted this ASU and its adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”. The amendments, among other things: (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. The effective date of these amendments is at the same date that Topic 606 is effective. The Company has adopted this ASU and its adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control”. These amendments change the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity by changing how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a variable interest entity treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. If a reporting entity satisfies the first characteristic of a primary beneficiary (such that it is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity), the amendments require that reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a variable interest entity and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a variable interest entity held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU and its adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”.  These amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU and its adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.
