HPIL HOLDING AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly Trim Holding Group)
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
HPIL HOLDING and Subsidiaries (referred to in this report as “HPIL”, the “Company”, “us”, “our” or “we”) (formerly Trim Holding Group) was incorporated on February 17, 2004 in the state of Delaware under the name TNT Designs, Inc. A substantial part of the Company’s activities were involved in developing a business plan to market and distribute fashion products.
On June 16, 2009, the majority interest in the Company was purchased in a private agreement by Louis Bertoli, an individual, with the objective to acquire and/or merge with other businesses.
On October 7, 2009, the Company merged with and into Trim Nevada, Inc., which became the surviving corporation. The merger did not result in any change in the Company’s management, assets, liabilities, net worth or location of principal executive offices. However, this merger changed the legal domicile of the Company from Delaware to Nevada where Trim Nevada, Inc. was incorporated. Each outstanding share of TNT Designs, Inc. was automatically converted into one share of the common stock of Trim Nevada, Inc. Pursuant to the merger, the Company changed its name from TNT Designs, Inc. to Trim Holding Group and announced the change in the Company’s business focus to health care and environmental quality sectors. Afterwards the Company determined it no longer needed its inactive subsidiaries, and as such, all three subsidiaries were dissolved.
On May 21, 2012, the Company changed its name to HPIL HOLDING.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company has yet commenced operations. Expenses incurred from February 17, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2012 relate to the Company’s formation and general administrative activities.
HPIL HOLDING’s intends that its main activity will be in the business of investing in differing business sectors.
To begin the implementation of the business plan, on September 10, 2012, Company organized six new subsidiary companies. Each of these subsidiary companies is wholly (100%) owned by the Company. The names of the new subsidiary companies were HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc., HPIL ENERGYTECH Inc., HPIL WORLDFOOD Inc., HPIL REAL ESTATE Inc., HPIL GLOBALCOM Inc. and HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc. These companies have been organized to implement the various growth strategies of the Company. HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the health care sector. HPIL ENERGYTECH Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the energy sector. HPIL WORLDFOOD Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the food sector. HPIL REAL ESTATE Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the real estate sector. HPIL GLOBALCOM Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the communication sector and HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the art and culture sector. We intend to make such investments in the United States and worldwide if adequate candidates can be identified.
A concentration of the Company has become the development of the IFLOR Business to produce a “Massage Vibrator for the Relief of Aches and Pain” product through our subsidiary, HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. We are in the planning stages of our marketing efforts and hope to generate interest in the product through existing strategic cooperation agreements and other consumer outreach and feedback. As of now, we expect our primary retail outlet will be pharmacy chains worldwide. Design and molding of the product are underway as of the first quarter of 2013. We plan to engage manufacturers for production, expect to reach full production by the fourth quarter of 2013, and begin supplying the product to retail outlets in 2014.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As of December 31, 2012 none of the above subsidiaries have begun full operations.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. In the course of its start-up activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects to incur an operating loss for the foreseeable future. The Company’s significant cumulative operating losses and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has generated a limited amount of revenue and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. The Company has positive working capital of $150,546 at December 31, 2012. The Company has raised funds through the sale of common stock and its majority stockholder has indicated his ability and intent to provide financial support to the Company at least through December 31, 2013.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company. The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing its business and its planned principal operations. Operations have not yet commenced, but are planned to commence in the next twelve months.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, as prescribed by ASC Topic 323 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, when it is able to exercise significant management influence over the entity’s operations, which generally occurs when HPIL has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity. The cost method of accounting is used when the Company does not exercise significant management influence, generally when HPIL has an ownership interest of less than 20%. The Company’s investment in Haesler Real Estate LLC’s (“Haesler”) is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of Haesler’s earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012 is immaterial.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in our 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to our 2012 presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all federal or state income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.
As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 there were no amounts that had been accrued in respect to uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s tax returns are not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state authorities. However, fiscal years 2009 and later remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.
Property and equipment
The Company’s property and equipment consists of molds and designs at December 31, 2012. Once placed into operations, the Company will depreciate these assets over there estimated useful lives, expected to range between 5 and 10 years. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company has not recorded any depreciation expense related to these assets.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon assumed exercise of preferred stock.
For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from inception (February 17, 2004) to December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding instruments having a dilutive effect, due to the recurring losses.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information Regarding Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had the following non-cash transactions:
| | | | Year Ended |
| | | | December 31, |
| | | | 2012 |

Issuance of note payable for cancellation of 22,000 shares of preferred stock | $ | 192,500 |
| | | | | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined that none of the recent pronouncements significantly affect the Company.
NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS - PATENTS
On June 28, 2012, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with GIOTOS Limited and, on April 12, 2013, we entered into a related Amendment to the Assignment of Patents with GIOTOS Limited, through which we acquired a portfolio of healthcare sector patent rights related to a “Massage Vibrator for the Relief of Aches and Pain” and other business processes and know-how related (collectively, the “IFLOR Business”), from GIOTOS Limited in exchange for 100,000,000 shares of common stock, initially valued at $25,000,000, based on the fair value tentatively assigned to the IFLOR Business based on the best information available to us at the time of the transaction. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Amendment to the Assignment of Patents, the initial valuations were subject to adjustment by independent third-party valuations. We subsequently obtained the expected third-party valuations of the IFLOR Business and of the shares (the “Valuations”). Based on the Valuations, the Company exercised its right to adjust the amount of shares pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. On April 12, 2013, we executed a Closing Agreement with GIOTOS Limited to reduce the purchase price to $12,500,000 and to effect the share adjustment and return 50,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s treasury. As both entities are majority owned and controlled by Mr. Bertoli, assets acquired in transactions between entities under common control should be recorded at the current carrying value of the seller. Increasing the carrying value of the assets acquired to estimated fair value is not permitted under these circumstances. Based on the foregoing, the Company has not recorded any carrying value for the acquired patents rights related to the IFLOR device. Accordingly, the difference between the transaction price and the value of the assets recorded has been recorded in equity as a capital transaction whereby the 50,000,000 shares issued as consideration were recorded to common stock at par value with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital.
On October 16, 2012, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. was approved to develop certain patents and related product owned by the Company related to a “Massage Vibrator for the Relief of Aches and Pain”, and to begin manufacture the “Stimulating Massage Device” in accordance with the patents.
NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE
During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with a financing company to finance the cost of D&O executive and organization liability insurance premium. The insurance policy was effective until July 30, 2011 and the unexpended portion of the premium was $8,578 as of December 31, 2010 which is included in prepaid expenses as of that date. The balance payable under the financing arrangement was $13,000 at December 31, 2011 and was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2012.
During 2012 the Company, in agreement with the Company’s majority stockholder, cancelled its 22,000 share of preferred stock outstanding in exchange for a note payable of $192,500. The note is non-interest bearing and payable on demand. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has $77,500 payable to the shareholder.
NOTE 6 – CAPITAL STOCK
On October 7, 2009, the Company approved increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 30,000,000 to 400,000,000 with no change in par value of $0.0001 per share.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective as of the date of filing this Form 10-K due to limited accounting and reporting personnel and a lack of segregation of duties due to limited financial resources and the size of our Company. We will need to adopt additional disclosure controls and procedures prior to commencement of material operations. Consistent therewith, on an on-going basis we will evaluate the adequacy of our controls and procedures.
(b) | Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting. |
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 (f) and 15d- 15 (f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of change in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that result in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2012, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2012.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 and identified the following material weaknesses:
Lack of Expertise. There is a lack of expertise in the key functional areas of finance, accounting and financial reporting.
Lack of Segregation of Duties. We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
Lack of Disclosure Controls. There is a lack of disclosure controls to ensure adequate disclosures are made in our periodic filings.
Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities. At this time, however, management has not established a time table for when it intends to address the aforementioned material weaknesses.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit is the Company to provide only management’s report in the annual report.
(c) | Changes in internal control over financial reporting. |
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
