Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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, 2009. In the opinion of management, the u naudited 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 fina ncial position and results of operations.
Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
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.

Organization and Line of Business
On January 1, 2010, International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., (“IPL 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.
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.
The terms of these Consulting Agreements begin as of the date of the 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.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Consolidation of variable interest entities
In accordance with ASC Topic 810, “Consolidations,” variable interest entities (VIEs) are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.
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 September 30, 2010.
Because the Company and EZ Link Holdings are under common control, the initial measurement of the assets and liabilities of EZ Link Corp. for the purpose of consolidation by the Company is at book 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements for the Company, its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity, EZ Link Corp. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the variable interest entity are eliminated upon consolidation.
Country risk
As the principal operations of EZ Link Holding, Ltd. 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed 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 the New Taiwan Dollars (NTD), however, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been re-measured and presented in United States Dollars ($).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IPL Group and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The Company’s subsidiaries include H&H Glass, Effective Health, Inc. and 51% of EZ Link Holdings, Ltd.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2010, include EZ Link Holdings, Ltd., from the January 1, 2010 date of acquisition. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Estimates
The preparation of condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include an allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation of property, plant and equipment.
Acquisition Accounting
Per Accounting Standard Codification topic 805, Business Combinations, the assets and liabilities acquired were allocated at fair value of the shares issued. This statement requires the Company to recognize Contact in place
as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual, the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of the non-controlling interest at the acquisition date, over the fair values of the net assets acquired.
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.
Contact in place
Contact in place is tested for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with the authoritative guidance for Contact in place. Additionally, Contact in place is tested in the interim if events and circumstances indicate that Contact in place may be impaired. The events and circumstances that are considered include business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators and competition. Impairment of Contact in place is evaluated using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves a comparison of the fair value and the carrying amount of the Contact in place of that reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the Contact in place of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that Contact in place, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value. If an event occurs that would cause a revision to the estimates and assumptions used in analyzing the value of the Contact in place, the revision could result in a non-cash impairment charge that could have a material impact on the financial results. As of September 30, 2010, the Company recorded no impairment of Contact in place.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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
All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder's equity are translated at the historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the income statement.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company, at times, maintains cash balances in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. In December 2008, the Company’s bank entered into the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, which eliminated the ceiling on federally insured deposits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s bank ceased participating in the program, which returned the limit to $250,000 per institution. The Company had uninsured balances of $103,685 and $0 as of September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively.
The Company maintains balances in a Money Market Fund that is not federally insured. Balances in this fund were $890,259 and $71,863 at September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively.
The Company had an unsecured available-for-sale investment with a fair value of $230,013 at December 31, 2009. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold the investment and realized a gain on its investment of $93,038.
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 September 30, 2010, 78.4% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to three customers. As of December 31, 2009, 77.0% of H&H Glass’s Accounts Receivable were attributable to three customers. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 H&H Glass had a reserve for doubtful accounts of $0 and $0 respectively.
At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, EZ Link Holdings, Ltd had a reserve for doubtful accounts of $5,247 and $0, respectively.
In general the Company will reserve a receivable amount based one of the following reasons;
1) 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; and
2) If the customer rejects the product and the reject is due to a Company error, a reserve will be established.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
H&H Glass purchased 100% of its glass from one vendor in the three- and nine- month period ending September 30, 2010 and 2009. During the three-month period ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, H&H Glass purchased $5,966,082 and $3,972,239 of products from this vendor, respectively. During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, H&H Glass purchased $15,046,126 and $9,239,337 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. As customer orders have been growing in size, H&H Glass has begun to seek and use additional suppliers.
Non controlling Interest
The Company’s 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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability based upon an exit price model.
ASC 820 prescribes a fair value hierarchy in order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
| • | Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
International Packaging and Logistics Group, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
• | Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly. Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The Company designates cash equivalents (consisting of money market funds) and investments in securities of publicly traded companies as Level 1.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports and displays comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s unrealized loss of $7,786 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and a gain of $12,255 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, relate to the translation of financial statements from New Taiwan Dollar to US Dollars. The Company also recorded an unrealized gain of $17,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and a gain of $33,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, on investments available for sale. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold its investment and realized a gain of $93,038.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2010-6 clarifies certain existing disclosures and requires new disclosure regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfer. The amendments in ASU 2010-06 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal periods.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Preferred Stock Transactions
As of January 1, 2010 pursuant to the purchase agreement for 51% ownership in EZ Link Holdings Ltd., approximately one half of the purchase price amount $400,000 was paid in Series B convertible preferred shares of IPL Group, Inc. at a per share value of $1.00, or 400,000 shares.
Description of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
The 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
2. Preferred Stock Transactions (continued)
The Preferred Shares shall be convertible into common shares in two equal traunches, the first being upon completion and receipt of the year ending 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.
The second traunch of the Preferred Shares shall be convertible after the second 12 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.
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 redeemable and are properly classified as permanent equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Common Stock Transactions

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 |
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 March 31, 2010. 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 r eport 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 September 30, 2010:
| 3. | |
| · | We lack an effective period-end financial statement reconciliation process to transition from Taiwan Accounting Standards to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). |
| · | We lack formal guidance or checklist of procedures to facilitate the reconciliation of the financial statements reported under Taiwan accounting standards to GAAP. |
| · | We lack an effective period-end financial statement reconciliation process to transition from Taiwan Accounting Standards to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). |
| · | 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 and as an audit committee member and h e will be involved in monitoring the internal audit functions within the Company. 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.
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
