These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statement and should be read in conjunction with those annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or for any future period. |

The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, as prescribed by ASC Topic 323 “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures”, when it is able to exercise significant 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 influence, generally when HPIL has an ownership interest of less than 20%. The Company’s 32% investment in Haesler Real Estate Management SA (“HREM”) is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the investment is equal to the Company’s equity interest of the carrying amount of the net assets of HREM. |

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
|
|
|
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence that an arrangement or contract exists, delivery has occurred, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable or certain. Revenue from consulting services is recognized upon delivery of consulting services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. |
Net Loss per Share | Net Loss per Share |
|
|
|
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders 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 provided the result is not anti-dilutive. |
