Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota on July 19, 1988. We were previously engaged in the medical device business. As of December 31, 2018, HDI had accumulated net tax operating loss carryforwards of approximately $33,744,438. In mid-2011, HDI’s board of directors determined to pursue a change in strategic direction. In August 2011, we sold our medical device inventory, subleased our office and manufacturing facility, and entered into a limited license agreement with a company owned by Jay Cohn, a founder and a director of the Company. In September 2011, we formed HDI Plastics Inc. (“HDIP”), a wholly owned-subsidiary, entered into a new lease agreement, purchased selected manufacturing assets from Compass Bank and Cycled Plastics and began engaging in the business of plastics reprocessing in Austin, TX. Demand for reprocessed plastic is growing, and HDIP has the systems and infrastructure for collecting and processing post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste into pellets to be resold to domestic manufacturing companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary (HDI Plastics, Inc.), after elimination of all intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash in financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

The Company reviews customers’ credit history before extending unsecured credit. Accounts receivable are reviewed to determine the need for an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The necessity of an allowance is based on management’s review of accounts receivable balances and historic write-offs. Invoice terms can vary from at date of shipment to net 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company writes off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible after all collection attempts have failed. The Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost based upon the average cost of raw material purchased which includes an allocation of manufacturing overhead if further processing has been done. Typically, the Company holds material for less than 45 days. The nature of the Company’s annual reportinventory does not result in obsolescence of either processed or unprocessed material. Inventory on Form 10-Khand at the end of the period is reviewed to determine the need for a reserve for or write-off and dispose of any material which is not useable. The need for a reserve is based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. As of December 31, 2018, there was no reserve for obsolete inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed principally using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements are the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life and 3 to 5 years for furniture and processing equipment, and computer equipment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are recorded on its balance sheet. The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The lease obligation and subordinated debt approximates fair value since this debt was recently obtained.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company will record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. To date, no such losses have been recognized.

Revenue Recognition

Plastics - Beginning October 2011, HDI Plastics began selling finished goods to manufacturers in the form of pelletized resin and clean shredded and ground plastics material. These sales are recorded as revenue at the time the product is shipped and invoiced to the customer. The Company also engages in “toll” processing of customer-owned material for a service fee. These service fees are recorded as plastic processing revenue at the time the product is shipped back to the customer. In addition, the Company engages in brokerage transactions of plastic material where goods are delivered to a customer without HDIP taking physical possession of the product at its processing facility, although HDIP assumes ownership of the material. The net profit from “brokerage” transactions is recorded as revenue at the time it is shipped to the customer and invoiced. Brokered sales are recorded as revenue net of the cost of the brokered material.

Royalties – After the sale of the medical device business in August 2011, the Company is receiving a minor amount of royalty income in connection with the license agreement. This income is being recorded as revenue when a sale is made by CPC to a 3rd party purchaser.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records all amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as sales. The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of sales.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes by following an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”) filedplus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2012 (the “Original Filing Date”), solelyguidance, the Company has adopted a policy under which, if required to furnish Exhibit 101be recognized in the future, interest related to the Form 10-Kunderpayment of income taxes will be classified as a component of interest expense and any related penalties will be classified in accordanceoperating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.  

The Company recognizes a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with Rule 405the relevant tax authority.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of Regulation S-T. Exhibit 101 consistscommon shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company regularly grants options to individuals under various plans. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period of the following materials, formatted in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language):awards. The compensation expense for the Company's stock-based payments is based on estimated fair values determined at the time of the grant of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

NoThe Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This option pricing model involves a number of assumptions, including the expected term of the stock options, the volatility of the public market price for the Company's common stock and interest rates.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other changescomprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income (loss) include items such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no adjustments to net income (loss) to arrive at comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting standards issued or effective during the year ended December 31, 2018 that had, or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Note 2.    Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been madeprepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred losses from continuing operations of $125,388. At December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $33,744,438 and negative working capital of $638,432. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise the Form 10-K. This Amendment speaks asrequired additional capital or debt financing to meet short-term needs to relocate our plastics processing facility to a new site and then restart the facility which would include hiring production works.

Note 3.     Inventory

Raw materials consist of the Original Filing Date, does not reflect eventsplastics that may have occurred subsequent toarrive at the Original Filing Date,processing facility that are sorted and does not , in any way, modify or update disclosures madestaged in the Form 10-Kwarehouse as bales or in bins. The value of raw material is based on weight and volume and the average cost of purchasing. Finished goods are processed into pellet or regrind form and stored in gaylords. The inventory value of finished goods is based on weight and the cost to convert using a standard labor and overhead rate.
