SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | (a) Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of EPT included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. (b) Organization and principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 100% owned subsidiaries include Environmental Packaging Latin America South S.R.L located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, EPT Packaging Europe B.V. located in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and EPTPAC Korea Co. Ltd., located in Seoul, Korea. For all periods presented, all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. (c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: ● Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. ● Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. ● Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions based on the best available information. The carrying value of accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advance from customer, other short-term liabilities, and short-term investment loan approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the long-term investment loan and other long-term liabilities approximates fair value based on market rates and terms currently available to the Company. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be re-measured at fair value at a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820. (d) Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for income taxes, product warranty, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. (e) Translation of Foreign Currency The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollars (“USD”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using the fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates foreign currency financial statements of its subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 830-10, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates quoted by the US Treasury at the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated as a separate component of equity of the Company. (f) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, and other highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions mainly in the U.S., Korea and the Netherlands. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, cash balances of $780,858 and $814,778, respectively, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 the Company did not have any cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had a balance of $1,075,000 designated as restricted cash. The funds are held in an escrow account and were released to the company in the third quarter of 2017. (g) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews its accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balances, customers’ historical payment history, their current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $25,037 and $20,773, respectively. (h) Inventories Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined under the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or slow-moving or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates and reflected in cost of revenues. The Company recorded a reserve for slow-moving inventory of $91,544 and $88,959 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. (i) Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue primarily from the sales of flexitanks and delivery of related services. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an agreement with a customer, risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales allowances are estimated based upon historical experience of sales returns. Advance payments and deposits received from customers prior to the provision of services and recognition of the related revenues are presented as advance from customer in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. (j) Product Warranty The Company provides warranty on sales of its flexitanks; in general, the warranty is effective one-year from the date of shipment. The Company records a liability for an estimate of costs that it may incur under its basic limited warranty when product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting the Company’s warranty liability include the number of flexitanks sold and historical and anticipated rates of claims and costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty liability based on changes in these factors. Based upon historical trends and warranties provided by the Company’s suppliers and sub-contractor’s the company has made provision for warranty cost based on .75% of product sales. The Company has made a provision for warranty cost of $70,526 and $65,593 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, within accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Six months ended June 30, 2017 Year ended Product warranty liability: Opening balance $ 65,593 $ 64,195 Accruals for product warranties issued in the period 4,933 1,398 Ending liability $ 70,526 $ 65,593 (k) Shipping and Handling In accordance with FASB ASC 605-45 (Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs”), the Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net revenues. Amounts incurred by the Company for freight are included in cost of goods sold. (l) Segment Reporting “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company’s management considers its business to comprise three segments for reporting purposes. (See Note 15) (m) Computation of Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Average outstanding primary shares was 36,217,426 and 16,984,179 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. On a dilutive basis, the average outstanding dilutive shares was 38,215,866 and 29,184,271 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders assuming dilution is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. (n) Taxation Because the Company and its subsidiaries are incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns. The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with US GAAP. Deferred taxes, if any, are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be utilized in the future. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. (o) Comprehensive Income The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with the FASB issued authoritative guidance that establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its component in consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources . (p) Derivative Financial Instruments When the Company issues debt that contains a conversion feature, the Company first evaluates whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative: a) one or more underlying’s, typically the price of the Company's stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. There are certain scope exceptions from derivative treatment, but these typically exclude conversion features that provide for a variable number of shares. When the Company issues warrants to purchase our common stock, we must evaluate whether they meet the requirements to be treated as a derivative. Generally, warrants would be treated as a derivative if the provisions of the warrant agreement create uncertainty as to a) the number of shares to be issued upon exercise; or b) whether shares may be issued upon exercise. If the conversion feature within convertible debt or warrants meet the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we estimate the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model upon the date of issuance. If the fair value of the derivative liability is higher than the face value of the convertible debt, the excess is immediately recognized as interest expense. Otherwise, the fair value of the derivative liability is recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount, which offsets the carrying amount of the debt. The derivative liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period and any change in fair value is recorded as a change in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations. The debt discount is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt. Derivative instrument liabilities and the host debt agreement are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As of June 30, 2017, the Company does not consider any of the convertible debt and related warrants issued in 2017 to be considered derivatives and therefore there is no requirement to record the convertible debt and related warrants at their estimated fair values. (q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures. |
