Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2011
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial activity of International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., (“IPL Group” or “the Company”) a publicly traded company listed and traded on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year end is on December 31.
The foregoing unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumption are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Nature of Operations
On July 2, 2007, International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, YesRx.com (“YesRx”) acquired all the outstanding shares of H&H Glass, Inc.

EZ Link International, Samoa (“ELIS”) was incorporated in Samoa. ELIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of EZ Link Corporation and was set up to facilitate shipping operations in the Peoples Republic of China.
Organization and Line of Business
International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was originally incorporated as Interactive Medical Technologies, Ltd., on June 2, 1986, in the state of Delaware. On April 17, 2008, IPL Group converted from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada Corporation.
EZ Link Holdings Ltd.
EZ Link Holdings Ltd. was incorporated in 2009, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Company has no substantive operations of its own.
EZ Link Corp., a Taiwan company established in July 2003 with initial registered capital of NTD 13,500,000, is a freight forwarder with current networks of locations in China, Hong Kong, South East Asia, North East Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe, and holds the licenses and approvals necessary to operate its business in China.
Taiwan law currently has limits on foreign ownership of companies. To comply with these foreign ownership restrictions, on December 31, 2009, EZ Link Holdings entered into following exclusive agreements with EZ Link Corp. and its owners (collectively the “Contractual Arrangements”):
(1) Consulting Services Agreement, through which EZ Link Holdings has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate EZ Link Corp. and collect and own all of its net profits;

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity (“VIE”).
Voting interest entities are entities that have sufficient equity and provide the equity investors voting rights that give them the power to make significant decisions related to the entity’s operations. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its majority-owned subsidiary, EZ Link Holdings, in which it holds more than 50% of the voting rights or where control is exercised through other contractual rights.
VIEs are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. Either the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. The Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries are not considered VIEs.
The Company has concluded that EZ Link Corp is a VIE and that the Company’s 51% owned subsidiary, EZ Link Holdings, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the activities of EZ Link Corp. and enables the Company to receive a majority of its expected residual returns. Accordingly, the Company accounts for EZ Link Corp. as a VIE as of January 1, 2010.
The initial measurement of the assets and liabilities of EZ Link Corp. for the purpose of consolidation by the Company is at fair value. EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. has had no other business activities except for the entering into of the exclusive agreements with EZ Link Corp. and its shareholders.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements for the Company, its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity, EZ Link Corp. and EZ Link Corp.’s subsidiary EZ Link International. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity are eliminated upon consolidation.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. EZ Link Corp’s functional currency is New Taiwan Dollars (TWD), however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been re-measured and presented in United States Dollars ($).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IPL Group and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The Company’s subsidiaries include H&H Glass and of EZ Link Holdings, Ltd.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include an allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation of property, plant and equipment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include amounts invested in a money market account with a financial institution. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Contract in Place
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. Rather, they are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Contracts in place is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our consolidated balance sheets. We have elected December 31 as the date to perform our annual impairment test.
The contract in place represents the fair value of the consulting contract and operating agreement between EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. and EZ Link Corp.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes product revenue provided that (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery to the customer has occurred, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. The price is considered fixed or determinable when it is not subject to refund or adjustments. Outbound shipping and handling charges are included in net sales.
Foreign Currency Translation
As of June 30, 2011 the accounts of the EZ Link were maintained, and its consolidated financial statements were expressed, in New Taiwan dollar (“TWD”). Such consolidated financial statements were translated from TWD, EZ Link’s functional currency, to USD. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the consolidated balance sheet dates, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and the statements of operations were translated at the average exchange rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2011
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Such amounts were not material during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Cash flows from the Company's operations included in the statement of cash flows is calculated based upon the functional currency using the average exchange rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with arithmetical changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. No presentation is made that the TWD amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at the rates used in translation.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains balances in a Money Market Fund that is not federally insured. Balances in this fund were $78,808 and $137,986 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. It generally requires no collateral and maintains reserves for potential credit losses on customer accounts, when necessary. As of June 30, 2011, 87.4% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to four customers. As of December 31, 2010, 84.7% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to four customers. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 H&H Glass had a reserve for doubtful accounts of $28,002.
In general the Company will reserve a receivable based one of the following reasons; if the receivable is over 90 days old the company will reserve 50% and if over 12 months old the Company will reserve 100% of the amount.
H&H Glass purchased 100% of its glass from one vendor in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, H&H Glass purchased $6,419,915 and $5,184,289 of products from this vendor, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, H&H Glass purchased $11,354,529 and $9,080,044 of products from this vendor, respectively. This concentration is due to the relatively small size of H&H Glass’s orders. H&H Glass’s specialized short-run custom orders generally are not attractive to larger glass manufacturers.
Non controlling Interest
The Company accounts for the non controlling interest of 49% in EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. in the condensed consolidated financial statements classified as a separate component of equity. In addition, net earnings, and components of other comprehensive income are attributed to both the Company and non controlling interest.
Net Earnings/(Loss) per Share
Earnings/(loss) per common share is computed on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. 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.

The Company also recorded an unrealized gain of $18,715 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, on investments available for sale.
2. Preferred Stock Transactions
The Preferred Shares shall be convertible into common shares in two equal traunches, the first being upon completion and receipt of the year ended December 31, 2010, financials if all of the following performance targets are met by EZ Link:
(a) Maintain revenues and before tax earnings same as the prior 12 month period; and
(b) Maintained a positive cash flow from operations over the prior 12 month period.
This criteria was not met so there were no conversions as of December 31, 2010. However, the first tranche will be eligible for conversion again at December 31, 2011.
The second tranche of the Preferred Shares shall be convertible after the second twelve month period, i.e. the year ending December 31, 2011, if all of the following performance targets are met by EZ Link:
(a) 5% increase in revenues and 1% before tax earnings over the prior 12 month period; and
(b) Maintained a positive cash flow from operations over the prior 12 month period.
If EZ Link does not reach its performance goals at December 31, 2011, the conversion rights will be extended one additional year.
ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
A mandatorily redeemable financial instrument shall be classified as a liability unless the redemption is required to occur only upon the liquidation or termination of the reporting entity. A financial instrument issued in the form of shares is mandatorily redeemable if it embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event certain to occur. A financial instrument that embodies a conditional obligation to redeem the instrument by transferring assets upon an event not certain to occur becomes mandatorily redeemable—and, therefore, becomes a liability—if that event occurs, the condition is resolved, or the event becomes certain to occur.

7. Earnings (Loss) per Share
Earnings per share have been calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The Company’s Convertible Preferred Shares constituted potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2011 and 2010. However, the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 would have made these securities anti-dilutive. Earnings per share at June 30, 2011 and 2010, is calculated using the number of common shares issued to effect the business combination as being outstanding during the entire period.
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are calculated as follows:

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure and Procedures
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, and under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Our 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 U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and |
| 3. | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as a resulted of identified material weakness in our financial reporting described below. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company's internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. 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 our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management's report in this quarterly report.
IDENTIFIED MATERIAL WEAKNESS
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Management identified the following material weakness in internal control during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011:
| o | We lack an effective period-end financial statement reconciliation process to transition from Taiwan Accounting Standards to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). |
| o | We lack formal guidance or checklist of procedures to facilitate the reconciliation of the financial statements reported under Taiwan accounting standards to GAAP. |
MANAGEMENT'S REMEDIATION INITIATIVES
We are undertaking the remedial measures to establish effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including improving the supervision and training of our accounting staff to understand and implement accounting requirements, policies and procedures for the accounting of variable interest entities. We are reviewing the qualifications of qualified GAAP consultants who can work with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Taiwan accounting team to indentify GAAP related issues and help evaluate and address such issues before they present problems in reporting in the United States. We are planning to utilize a qualified consultant on an on-going basis. We also appointed an independent director who is knowledgeable in US GAAP to our board of directors. The remediation initiatives are an ongoing process of establishing and meeting recording and reporting milestones that are designed to provide an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. We expect to have the system fully operational within the current fiscal year. Until then, executive and financial management is closely scrutinizing the recording and reporting of all material financial transactions.

June 30, 2011
In light of the identified material weaknesses, management, performed (1) significant additional substantive review of those areas described above, and (2) performed additional analyses, including but not limited to a detailed balance sheet and statement of operations analytical review that compared changes from the prior period's financial statements and analyzed all significant differences. These procedures were completed so management could gain assurance that the financial statements and schedules included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has been no additional changes except for what is discussed above in our internal control over financial reporting during this fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting
