| 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, 2014 and 2013 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, 2013. 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
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. (“H&H Glass” or “H&H”), in exchange for 3,915,000 shares of its common stock in a reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”). H&H Glass is a glass importer that supplies custom products such as perfume bottles and food condiment bottles, plus provides complementary services such as container design and mold making.

On January 1, 2010, International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., acquired a majority interest in EZ Link Holdings, Ltd., company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands which contractually controls EZ Link Corporation (“EZ Link”), a logistics company headquartered in Taiwan. EZ Link was established in July 2003 under the laws of Taiwan, Republic of China (“PRC”) EZ LINK is a full service international freight forwarder, who has current networks to locations in China, Hong Kong, South East Asia, North East Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe.
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;
(2)Operating Agreement, through which EZ Link Holdings has the right to recommend director candidates and appoint the senior executives of EZ Link Corp, approve any transactions that may materially affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of EZ Link Corp, and guarantee the contractual performance
by EZ Link Corp. of any agreements with third parties, in exchange for a pledge by EZ Link Corp. of its accounts receivable and assets.
In consideration of services provided by the consultant, EZ Link Corp will pay a consulting fee equal to all of its net income on a quarterly basis. There was a cumulative net loss from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014 of ($69,557).
The terms of these Consulting Agreements begin as of the date of the Contractual Agreements, and shall continue in perpetuity, unless terminated in accordance with relevant provisions in the agreements or by any other agreement reached by all parties.

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 (NTD), however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been re-measured and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”).
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 51% of EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Consolidation of variable interest entities
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. 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 Corp, 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's consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities and earnings of a subsidiary, EZ Link Corp, which is more than 50% owned and control is established. The ownership interest of the minority owners of the Company’s subsidiary is called non-controlling interest.
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.

| 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Country risk
As EZ Link Holding, Ltd. principal operations are conducted in Taiwan, it is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the US. These risks include, among others, risks associated with the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange limitations encountered in Taiwan. The EZ Link Holdings results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in Taiwan, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, among other things.
In addition, most of the transactions undertaken in Taiwan are denominated in New Taiwan Dollars (“NTD”), which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of Taiwan may be considered. Both the conversion of NTD into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require the approval of the Taiwan government. Therefore, it is assumed that there will be limitations of distribution of profits from EZ Link Corp. to EZ Link Holdings.
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
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but reviewed at least annually for potential impairment through assessment of qualitative factors to determine if those assets are impaired. If, through the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not the asset is not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined that is more likely than not the asset is impaired or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the asset at the reporting unit level using an income (discounted cash flow) approach that requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate.
The contract in place represents the fair value of the consulting contract and operating agreement between EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. and EZ Link Corp. Contract in place is considered an indefinite life intangible asset. We have elected December 31 as the date to perform our annual impairment test

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, 2014 the accounts of the EZ Link were maintained, and its consolidated financial statements were expressed, in NTD. Such consolidated financial statements were translated into USD with NTD as the functional currency. 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 income items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income.
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 each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Cash flow from the Company's operations included in the statement of cash flows is calculated based upon the functional currency using the average translation 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 sheet.

Concentration of Credit Risk - continued
H&H Glass purchased 100% of its glass from one vendor in the three month period ending June 30, 2014 and 2013. During the three-month period ending June 30, 2014 and 2013, H&H Glass purchased $7,102,154 and $7,271,607 of products from this vendor, respectively. During the Six-month period ending June 30, 2014 and 2013, H&H Glass purchased $14,131,740 and $14,528,397 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 its 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 year. 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.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports and displays comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose consolidated financial statements. The Company’s translation income of $2,043 and a loss of $28,064 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and income of $10,077 and a loss of $16,436 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, relate to the translation of financial statements from New Taiwan Dollar to US Dollars.
| 2. | Preferred Stock Transactions |
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series A Preferred shares are convertible into common shares on a 1:1 ratio at a fixed rate of $3 per share. Preferred shares have no voting rights, have no redemption rights and earn no dividends. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not permitted to convert their stock into common shares until the Company’s market capital reaches $15,000,000. Upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the sum of $0.0001 per share (the “Liquidation Rate”) before any payment or distribution shall be made on any other class of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
As of January 1, 2010 pursuant to the purchase agreement for 51% ownership in EZ Link Holdings Ltd., approximately 47% of the purchase price amount of $400,000 was paid in Series B convertible preferred shares of IPL Group at a per share value of $1.00, or 400,000 shares.
The Series B preferred shares are convertible into common shares on a 1:1 ratio at a fixed rate of $1 per share. Preferred shares have no voting rights, have no redemption rights and earn no dividends.
The Series B preferred shares would have been convertible into common shares in two equal tranches, the first tranche was to be upon completion and receipt of the financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2010, if all of the following performance targets were 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.
These criteria were not met during the period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2013, so there have been no conversions of Series B preferred stock. However, the first tranche will be eligible for conversion again at December 31, 2014. If EZ Link does not reach its performance goals, the conversion rights will be extended each year, on an indefinite basis until the performance goals are reached.
The second tranche of the Series B preferred shares shall be convertible after the 12 month period after the first tranche becomes convertible, i.e. at the earliest the year ending December 31, 2015, 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.
EZ Link did not reach its performance goals at December 31, 2013, so the conversion rights will be extended each year, on an indefinite basis until the performance goals are reached.
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.
The Company determined that the preferred shares are not mandatorily or conditionally redeemable and are properly classified as permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Overview
We import glass containers from Asia and distribute to the North American market including Canada. This was a result of International Packaging and Logistic Group, Inc. (“IPL Group Inc.” or the “Company”) acquiring H&H Glass, Inc. (“H&H Glass”) in July of 2007. IPL Group, Inc. closed its pharmacy business in February 2007.
H&H Glass is a glass importer that supplies custom products such as perfume bottles and food condiment bottles, plus provides complementary services such as product design and the making of product molds. H&H Glass acquires its products from 3 to 5 suppliers in China and Taiwan and sells its products through several distributors in the United States and Canada who service small- to medium-sized customers. H&H imports in excess of 1,000 containers of glass a year. Depending on the size of the product, a container can contain anywhere from 3,000 to 300,000 pieces.
In addition, as of January 1, 2010, International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., acquired a 51% interest in EZ Link Holdings, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on December 18, 2009, which controls EZ Link Corporation (“EZ Link”), a logistics company headquartered in Taiwan. EZ Link was established in July 2003 under the laws of Taiwan, Republic of China. EZ Link Holdings, Ltd. consolidates EZ Link under ASC Topic 810 as it controls EZ Link through a management contract. EZ Link is a full service international freight forwarder, who has current networks to locations in China, Hong Kong, South East Asia, North East Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe.
Plan of Operation
Our general operating plan is as follows:
Short Term
· | Continue growing revenue and profits through the existing business; |
· | Meet the challenge of the declining world economy while maintaining revenue and profitability - our goal will be to focus closely on product mix, improve our gross margin and develop new projects with existing clients; |
· | Expand the supply network for our products; |
· | Expand our current business model to include other areas that fall within our distribution expertise such as packaging using plastic and acrylic materials. |
· | Integrate our new logistics business into our overall plan |
Long Term
| Expand our service into other areas such as Europe and Australia through the same supplier channel. Our existing business model copies to other markets naturally. |
| Expand the client base and areas of service of our logistics business. |

Federal Income Tax
The Company deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2014, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014.
Management identified the following control deficiencies that constitute material weaknesses that are not fully remediated as of the filing date of this report:
Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. There is mainly one person involved in processing of transactions. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties. We have hired an additional administrative person and retained an outside professional firm to assist in the separation of duties on an ongoing basis. The use of the outside firm has proven successful in assisting in the separation of duties. However, additional people are not needed to do the administrative work therefore segregation of duties will continue to be an ongoing weakness.
Similarly, the EZ Link operation also has a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties. Its size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. We have retained an outside professional firm to assist in the separation of duties on an ongoing basis. The use of the outside firm has proven successful in assisting in the separation of duties. However, additional people are not needed to do the administrative work therefore segregation of duties will continue to be an ongoing weakness.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity's disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
