CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to management’s beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, goals and expectations, including expectations about the future financial or operating performance of our Company and its projects, capital expenditures, capital needs, government regulation of the industry, environmental risks, limitations of insurance coverage, and the timing and possible outcome of regulatory matters, including the granting of patents and permits. Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “attempt”, “may”, “will”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.
These statements are based on and were developed using a number of factors and assumptions including, but not limited to: stability in the U.S. and other foreign economies; stability in the availability and pricing of raw materials, energy and supplies; stability in the competitive environment; the continued ability of our Company to access cost effective capital when needed; and no unexpected or unforeseen events occurring that would materially alter the Company’s current plans. All of these assumptions have been derived from information currently available to the Company including information obtained by our Company from third party sources. Although management believes that these assumptions are reasonable, these assumptions may prove to be incorrect in whole or in part. As a result of these and other factors, actual results may differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward looking information, which reflect our Company’s expectations only as of the date hereof.
Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward-looking statements include risks associated with general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; risks associated with changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; risks associated with failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; risks associated with accidents or labor disputes; risks associated in delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing, or in the completion of development or construction activities; risks associated with financial leverage and the availability of capital; risks associated with the price of commodities and the inability of our Company to control commodity prices; risks associated with the regulatory environment within which our Company operates; risks associated with litigation including the availability of insurance; and risks posed by competition. These and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted by the forward looking statements are discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Report and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 2 of this Report.
Some of the forward-looking statements may be considered to be financial outlooks for purposes of applicable securities legislation including, but not limited to, statements concerning capital expenditures. These financial outlooks are presented to allow the Company to benchmark the results of our Company’s Plastic2Oil business. These financial outlooks may not be appropriate for other purposes and readers should not assume they will be achieved.
Our Company does not intend to, and the Company disclaims any obligation to, update any forward-looking statements (including any financial outlooks), whether written or oral, or whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Unless otherwise noted, references in this Report to “P2O” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” means Plastic2Oil, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

PLASTIC2OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN
Plastic2Oil, Inc. (the “Company” or “P2O”) was originally incorporated as 310 Holdings, Inc. (“310”) in the State of Nevada on April 20, 2006. 310 had no significant activity from inception through 2009. In April 2009, John Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of 310. During 2009, the Company changed its name to JBI, Inc. and began operations of its main business operation, transforming waste plastics to oil and other fuel products During 2014, the Company changed its name to Plastic2Oil, Inc. (“P2O”). P2O is a combination of proprietary technologies and processes developed by P2O which convert waste plastics into fuel. P2O currently, as of the date of this filing, operates two processors at its Niagara Falls, NY facility (the “Niagara Falls Facility”). Our P2O business has begun the transition from research and development to a commercial manufacturing and production business. We plan to grow mainly from sale of processors and secondarily from the sale of fuel products.
We do not have sufficient cash to operate our business which has forced us to suspend our operations until such time as we receive a capital infusion or cash advances on the sale of our processors.
On August 24, 2009, the Company acquired Javaco, Inc. (“Javaco”), a distributor of electronic components, including home theater and audio video products. In July 2012, the Company closed Javaco and sold substantially all of the inventory and fixed assets of Javaco. The operations of Javaco have been classified as discontinued operations for the periods presented (see Note 12).
On September 30, 2009, the Company acquired Pak-It, LLC (“Pak-It”), and the operator of a bulk chemical processing, mixing, and packaging facility. It also has developed and patented a delivery system that packages condensed cleaners in small water-soluble packages. In February 2012, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Pak-It and as a result, the operations of Pak-It have been classified as discontinued operations for the periods presented (see Note 12).
Going Concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception, has net losses from continuing operations of $669,550, and $864,518, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively, and has a working capital deficit of $6,063,173 and an accumulated deficit of $72,913,648, at March 31, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to operate in the normal course of business. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from equity financings and loans from related parties.
The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue the expansion of its P2O business to achieve significant commercial productions, and to resume sales and marketing efforts. Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock, issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments.
While the Company believes that it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial production goals, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Plastic2Oil of NY#1 Inc., Plastic2Oil (Canada) Inc., JBI CDE Inc., Plastic2Oil Re One Inc., JBI Re #1 Inc., Plastic2Oil Marine Inc., Javaco, and Pak-it. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements are expressed in US dollars. Recycling Center, Pak-It and Javaco have also been condensed consolidated; however, as mentioned their operations are classified as discontinued operations (see Note 12).
Interim Disclosure
Condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in considerably less detail than complete financial statements that are intended to present financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. For this reason, they should be read in conjunction with the entity’s most recent complete financial statements that include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for impairment of long-lived assets, share based compensation, asset retirement obligations, inventory obsolescence, accrued liabilities, accounts receivable exposures and valuation of options and warrants.
Restricted Cash
As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $100,347 and $100,322, respectively, of restricted cash, which is used to secure a line of credit that secures a performance bond on behalf of the Company. The performance bond is required by the State of New York for fuel distributors in perpetuity.
Cash Held in Attorney Trust
The amount held in trust represents retainer payments the Company have made to law firms which were being held on our behalf for the payment of future services.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent unsecured obligations due from customers under terms requesting payments upon receipt of invoice up to ninety days, depending on the customer. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at the amounts billed to the customer net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Customer balances with invoices over 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer remittance, or if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice.
The allowance for uncollectible accounts reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collected based on an analysis of the age of receivables and the credit standing of individual customers. The allowance for uncollectible accounts as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $24,274 and $22,994, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of plastics, costs to process the plastic and processed fuel are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use an average costing method in determining cost. Inventories are periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets, and capital leased assets are given useful lives coinciding with the asset classification they are classified as. These lives are as follows:
Leasehold improvements | lesser of useful life or term of the lease | |
Machinery and office equipment | 3-15 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years | |
Office and industrial buildings | 25 -30 years |
Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statements of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred and expenditures that increase the value or useful life of the asset are capitalized.
Construction in Process
The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates are applied.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets on an asset by asset basis. Impairment is recognized on properties held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than its carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. The sale or disposal of a “component of an entity” is treated as discontinued operations. The operating properties sold by the Company typically meet the definition of a component of an entity and as such the revenues and expenses associated with sold properties are reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 12).
9 |
Asset Retirement Obligations
The fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when identified and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement cost, equal to the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation, is capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset. The balance of the asset retirement obligation is determined through an assessment made by the Company’s engineers, of the total costs expected to be incurred by the Company when closing a facility. The total estimated cost is then discounted using the current market rates to determine the present value of the asset as of the date of this valuation. As of the date of the creation of the asset retirement obligation in the amount of $57,530, the Company determined the present value of the obligation using a discount rate equal to 2.96%. The present value of the asset retirement obligation is then capitalized on the consolidated balance sheets and is depreciated over the asset’s estimated useful life and is included in depreciation and accretion expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Increases in the asset retirement obligation resulting from the passage of time are recorded as accretion of asset retirement obligations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Actual expenditures incurred are charged against the accumulated obligation. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the asset retirement obligations was $41,242 and $41,000, respectively. These costs include disposal of plastic and other non-hazardous waste, site closing labor and testing and sampling of the site upon closure.
Environmental Contingencies
The Company records environmental liabilities at their undiscounted amounts on our balance sheets as other current or long-term liabilities when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These costs may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the timing of the cash payments is fixed or reliably determinable and extends beyond a current period. Estimates of our liabilities are based on currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into consideration the likely effects of other societal and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, other companies’ clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other organizations. Our estimates are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new circumstances. We capitalize costs that benefit future periods and we recognize a current period charge in operation and maintenance expense when clean-up efforts do not benefit future periods.
We evaluate any amounts paid directly or reimbursed by government sponsored programs and potential recoveries or reimbursements of remediation costs from third parties including insurance coverage separately from our liability. Recovery is evaluated based on the creditworthiness or solvency of the third party, among other factors. When recovery is assured, we record and report an asset separately from the associated liability on our balance sheets. No amounts for recovery have been accrued to date.
Deposits
Deposits represent utility services deposit and payments made to vendors for fabrication of key pieces of property, plant and equipment that have been made in accordance with the Company’s agreements to purchase such equipment. Payments are made to these vendors as progress is made on the fabrication of the equipment, with final payments made when the equipment is delivered. Until we have possession of the equipment, all payments made to these vendors are classified as deposits on assets. Deposits were $1,476,971 and $1,484,438 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Leases
The Company has entered into various leases for buildings and equipment. At the inception of a lease, the Company evaluates whether it is operating or capital in nature. Operating leases are recorded as expense in the appropriate periods of the lease. Capital leases are classified as property, plant and equipment and the related depreciation is recorded on the assets. Also, the debt related to the capital lease is included in the Company’s short- and long-term debt obligations, in accordance with the lease agreement (see Note 5).
Lease inducements are recognized for periods of reduced rent or for larger than usual rent escalations over the term of the lease. The benefit of a rent free period and the cost of future rent escalations are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
P2O processor sales are recognized when the customer take possession of the processors since Title to the Goods and the risk of loss transfers from P2O to Customer upon delivery. P2O fuel sales are recognized when the customers take possession of the fuel since at that stage the customer has completed all prior testing necessary for their acceptance of the fuel. At the time of possession they have arranged for transportation to pick it up and the sales price has either been set in their purchase contract or negotiated prior to the time of pick up through the issuance of a purchase order. The Company negotiates the pricing of the fuel based on the quality of the product and the type of fuel being sold (i.e. Naphtha, Fuel Oil No. 6 or Fuel Oil No. 2).
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are included in cost of goods sold for the years presented. Shipping and handling costs are capitalized to inventory and expensed to cost of sales when the related inventory is sold for the years presented.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $0 and $1,868 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses – other, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Research and Development
The Company is engaged in research and development activities. Research and development costs are charged as operating expense of the Company as incurred. For the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company expensed $0 and $1,653, respectively, towards research and development costs. Components of the processors that are fabricated or purchased with research and development plans and then used on the processor in production are capitalized into the cost of the processor and depreciated over the remaining life of the processor.

Foreign Currency Translation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830. All monetary items have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. All non-monetary items have been translated using the historical exchange rates at the time of transactions. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. Resulting differences are immaterial to the financial statements as a whole. Foreign exchange losses of $51 and $1,630 are included as general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company adopted the accounting standards associated with uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or financial position. Upon adoption, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Furthermore, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company files tax returns in the U.S federal and state jurisdictions as well as a foreign country. The years ended December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2015 are open tax years for IRS review.
Loss Per Share
The financial statements include basic and diluted per share information. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, potential dilutive common stock equivalents consisted 14,350,000 shares underlying common stock warrants and 1,540,000 shares underlying stock options, which were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, potential dilutive common stock equivalents 14,350,000 shares underlying common stock warrants, and 2,818,000 shares underlying stock options, which were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates in two reportable segments. ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in their annual consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our operating segments include plastic to oil conversion (Plastic2Oil), which includes processor sales as well as fuel sales and Data Recovery and Migration, our magnetic tape reading segment. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
Concentrations and Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of operating demand deposit accounts and accounts receivable. The Company’s policy is to place our operating demand deposit accounts with high credit quality financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC, however, account balances may at times exceed insured limits. The Company extends limited credit to its customers based upon their creditworthiness and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other pertinent information. The Company also routinely makes an assessment of the collectability of the short-term note receivable and determines its exposure for non-performance based on the specific holder and other pertinent information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, leases, promissory notes, long-term debt and mortgage payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 limits the requirement to report discontinued operations to disposals of components of an entity that represents strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendments also require expanded disclosures concerning discontinued operations and disclosures of certain financial results attributable to a disposal of a significant components of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The impact on our Financial Statements of adopting ASU 2014-08 was not significant.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The impact on our Financial Statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 is being assessed by management.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update requires an entity to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent within a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This update may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. The impact on our Financial Statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 is being assessed by management.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) (“ASU 2015-03”), as part of the initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. If adopted, would not have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU does not apply to inventory measured using last-in, first-out. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The impact on our Financial Statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 is being assessed by management.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
Plastic2Oil Marine, Inc., one of the Company’s subsidiaries, which is currently not operating, entered into a consulting service contract in 2010 with a company owned by the Company’s chief executive officer. The contract provides the related company with a share of the operating income earned from Plastic2Oil technology installed on marine vessels which are owned by the related company. The contract provides a minimum future payment equal to fifty percent of the operating income generated from the operations of two of the most profitable marine vessel processors and 10% from all other marine vessel processors. At March 31, 2016, there were no currently installed marine vessel processors pursuant to the contract.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company has committed to purchase certain pieces of key machinery from vendors related to the future expansion of its operations. In addition to the payments made to these vendors classified as deposits on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company will be required to pay approximately $495,000 upon the delivery of these assets which is expected occur with the delivery of processor #4 and processor #5.
The Company leased premises in Thorold, Ontario, Canada which was previously used in the operation Plastic2Oil (Canada), Inc. doing business as Regional Recycling of Niagara (“RRON”). During the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined that it would shut down the operations of RRON (see Note 12). The employees of RRON were given notice of the shut down in the first week of September, after which point the Company approached the landlord about terminating the lease; however, there was no formal termination as an agreement to terminate the lease was not reached. During September 2013, the Company was assessing its options with the facility, including potential sublease, but determined that a sublease of the facility was not permitted by the lease and officially decided to cease use of the premises as of September 30, 2013. Accordingly, the Company has applied September 30, 2013 as the cease-use-date in recognizing the liability for the contract termination costs. The total expense included in loss from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is $188,343 for the year ended December 31, 2015.. The property was vacated on November 10, 2015. On January 15, 2016, the Company entered into a Surrender of Lease agreement which terminated its lease, dated December 1, 2010, between Avondale Store Limited Properties and JBI, (Canada) Inc. relating to the Company’s premises located at 1786 Allanport Road, Thorold, Canada. The effective date of the termination was October 31, 2015. The premises was the site of the Company’s Regional Recycling Center, which was part of a business line that was discontinued by the Company in 2013. The Company anticipates the termination will save approximately $1,161,360 in lease payments over the original life of the lease which had a term ending on December 1, 2030. The Company will remain liable for unpaid rent of approximately $49,180, covering the period from May 2016 to October 2016.
Contingencies
As of March 31, 2016, the Company is involved in litigation and claims which arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon the information and facts known to them, any liability that may arise from such contingencies would not have a material adverse effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From June 2014 to December 31, 2015, Mr. Heddle, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, made several personal loans to the company to provide working capital. As of March 31, 2016, the current aggregate outstanding balance including accrued interest at 4% per annum was $1,689,528. (See Note 4).
On February 11, 2016, Plastic2Oil, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), issued a promissory note in favor of Richard Heddle, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s board of directors, to memorialize various advances, not to exceed $200,000 in total, which are expected to be made by Mr. Heddle to the Company from February 11, 2016 until March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the current aggregate outstanding balance including accrued interest at 12% per annum was $323,315. (See Note 5).The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. All principal and interest on the promissory note is due and payable in full by the Company on demand. The repayment of promissory note will be secured by assets of the Company. It is anticipated that the proceeds of these advances will be used for working capital purposes.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses included a $132,218 outstanding balance due to Heddle Marine Services, a business controlled by Mr. Richard Heddle, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and member of the Company’s board of directors. The amounts payable arose from payments made in 2014 by Heddle Marine on behalf of the company to a logistics company to transport fuel from the Niagara Falls site to the blending tanks at our facility in Thorold, Ontario, as well as for labor and material provided by Heddle Marine towards upkeep of our Canadian facilities including 2015 cleanup costs incurred in order to terminate the lease with Avondale properties on the discontinued RRON Operation.
Plastic2Oil Marine, Inc., one of the Company’s subsidiaries, which is currently not operating, entered into a consulting service contract in 2010 with a company owned by Mr. Heddle, who later (in 2014) became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The contract provides the related company with a share of the operating income earned from Plastic2Oil technology installed on marine vessels which are owned by the related company. The contract provides a minimum future payment equal to fifty percent of the operating income generated from the operations of two of the most profitable marine vessel processors and 10% from all other marine vessel processors. At March 31, 2016, there were no currently installed marine vessel processors pursuant to the contract.
NOTE 10 – SEGMENT REPORTING
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the company has no revenue. The company’s processors were idle for all of 2015 and remained idle during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
When operating, the Company had two principal operating segments, Plastic2Oil and the Data Business. These operating segments were determined based on the nature of the products and services offered. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker, and directs the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability and cash flows of each respective segment
When operating, the Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is net income. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in “Note 2: Summary of Accounting Policies.”
P2O assets include the Company headquarters and various machinery and equipment used at the Niagara Falls Facility. At March 31, 2016, total long-lived assets of $2,855,436 and $245,982 were located in the United States and Canada, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, total long-lived assets of $3,010,831 and $258,056 , were located in the United States and Canada, respectively. The mortgage payable of $215,040 and the equipment capital lease maturing on June 15, 2016, both disclosed in Note 5, relate to assets held in Canada. The mortgage payable of $25, 000 on November 31, 2016 disclosed in Note 5, relates to assets held in United States.
NOTE 11 – RISK MANAGEMENT
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation and the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions and has not experienced any collection losses with these financial institutions.
During the periods ended March 31, 2016, and 2015 10.6% and 19.1 %, respectively, of total net purchases were made from six and one vendor respectively.
NOTE 12 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Regional Recycling of Niagara
On January 15, 2016, the Company entered into a Surrender of Lease agreement which terminated its lease, dated December 1, 2010, between Avondale Store Limited Properties and JBI, (Canada) Inc. relating to the Company’s premises located at 1786 Allanport Road, Thorold, Canada. The effective date of the termination was October 31, 2015. The premises was the site of the Company’s Regional Recycling Center, which was part of a business line that was discontinued by the Company in 2013. The Company anticipates the termination will save approximately $1,161,360 in lease payments over the original life of the lease which had a term ending on December 1, 2030. The Company will remain liable for unpaid rent of approximately $49,180, covering the period from May 2016 to October 2016
The property was vacated on November 10, 2015 and the lease was terminated on January 15, 2016 effective October 31 with no penalty for early termination. This resulted in adjusting the short-term and long-term obligations set up in 2013 to zero, which resulted in a $195,044 income.
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
From April 1, 2016 through May 23, 2016, the company received $77,826 of short term loan bearing interest at 12% per annum from Richard Heddle, in addition to the $323,315 noted in Note 4.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis (the”MD&A”) of the results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company, together with the accompanying notes, as well as other financial information included elsewhere in this Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties, and that reflect estimates and assumptions. See the section titled, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for more information on forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated in forward- looking statements. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are described in “Risk Factors” Part I Item 1A, and elsewhere in this Report.
Business Overview
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the company has no revenue. These processors were idle for all of 2015 and remained idle during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
For financial reporting purposes, we operate in two business segments, (i) our P2O® solution business, which manufactures and sells the fuel produced through our two operating P2O processors and (ii) data storage and recovery (the “Data Business”). As of this filing date of the report, our two operating processors were idle and not producing fuel products. Previously, we operated a recycling facility for waste paper fiber processing, a chemical processing and cleaning business, known as Pak-It, and a retail and wholesale distribution business, known as Javaco, Inc. As of March 31, 2016, we had exited all of these businesses and their results in all periods presented are classified as discontinued operations (see Note 13).
Our P2O business is a commercial manufacturing and production business. We plan to grow mainly from sale of processors, and secondarily from the sale of fuel products. We anticipate that this segment will account for substantially all of our revenues in 2016 and beyond. Historically, however, our revenues have been derived primarily from our other segments and products, including those noted above as discontinued operations.

Plastic2Oil Business
Our P2O business has elements of both a recycling business and a fuel refiner/ production business, which makes it difficult to identify and make direct comparisons to competitors. Both the recycling and energy sectors are characterized by rapid technological change. Our future success will depend on our ability to achieve and maintain a competitive position with respect to technological advances in both of these sectors. We believe that our business currently faces competition in the plastics-to-energy market, including competition from PK Clean, Vadxx Energy, Green Envirotec Holdings LLC, Agilyx and RES polyflow, each of which has developed alternative methods for obtaining and generating fuel from plastics. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business”. Because P2O solution end products include a variety of fuels, we also face competition from the broader petroleum industry.
We continue our business strategy with the goal of becoming a leading North American company that transforms waste plastic into ultra- clean, ultra-low sulphur fuel.
When in operation, we provide environmentally-friendly solutions through our processors and technologies. Our primary offering is our Plastic2Oil®, or P2O®, solution, which is our proprietary process that converts waste plastic into fuel through a series of chemical reactions (our “P2O business”). We collect mainly mixed plastics from commercial and industrial enterprises that generate large amounts of waste plastic for use in our process.
Generally, this waste plastic would otherwise be sent to landfills and its disposal potentially can be quite costly for companies. We use this waste plastic as feedstock to produce Fuel Oil No. 2, Naphtha, and Fuel Oil No. 6 for various uses by our customers. We own our P2O processors and have the capability to produce and store the fuels at, and ship from, our facilities in Niagara Falls, NY. We sell the fuels we produce to customers through two main distribution channels, fuel wholesalers and directly to commercial and industrial end-users.
Our P2O processors have evolved to be modular solutions with the completion of processor #3 in 2013. We use third party contract manufacturers for the manufacture of many of the key modular components of our processors, including the kilns and distillation towers as well as certain other key components that require specialized machining and fabrication.
Our P2O business is a proprietary process that converts waste plastic into fuel through a series of chemical reactions. We began developing this process in 2009 and began very limited production in late 2010 following our receipt of a consent order from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”) allowing us to commercially operate our first large-scale P2O processor located at our Niagara Falls, New York facility. Currently, as of the filing of this report, we have three processors and components for two additional processors at an outside vendor site which are included in the balance sheet as deposits. These processors were idle for all of 2015 and remained idle during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Our processors are capable of producing Naphtha, Fuel Oil No. 2 and Fuel Oil No. 6. Our P2O process also produces two by-products, a reusable off-gas similar to natural gas and a petcoke carbon residue. We sell our fuel products to fuel wholesalers and directly to commercial and industrial end-users. We primarily use our off-gas product in our processing operations to fuel the burners in our P2O processors. We have years of significant operating data and have solved numerous challenges that have blocked competitor success. Since inception we have produced a total of 667,996 gallons of fuel.
2016 update
The Company Plastic2Oil, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into four related agreements with EcoNavigation, LLC (“EcoNavigation”) in connection with the supply of plastic-to-oil, or P2O, processors by the Company to EcoNavigation. As of January 27, 2016, such agreements expired and were not renewed by the parties.

Listing on the OTCQB
On May 20, 2016, we had 124,756,158 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Our common stock is currently trading on the OTCQB marketplace in the United States of America under the stock ticker symbol “PTOI.” On May 20, 2016, the last trading day prior to the date of this filing, the closing price of the common stock on the OTCQB was $0.03.
Sources of Revenues and Expenses
Results of Operations – Three Months ended March 31, 2016 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015.
Revenue
As we only recently shifted our business strategy to selling fuel processors, we did not derive any revenue from processor sales in 2015 or during the three months ended March 31, 2016. We did not derive any revenue from Data Business for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
We had no fuel production or processor sales in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Consequently, there was neither fuel shipment nor fuel revenue. This was mainly due to management’s decision to shut down its production in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to the severe cold weather that caused damage to condensers and other components of our processors and the lack of operating cash. The damage requires substantial working capital for general repairs and replacement of damaged condensers and we have been unable to obtain the financing necessary to make these repairs. These processors were idle for all of 2014, 2015 and are currently idle. Management estimates the processors will remain idle until third quarter of 2016, other than pilot runs to support processor sales.
Fuel revenues are based on either a set pricing structure with our customers or the prevailing market rate for the specific type of fuel being sold. Our fuels are sold under both long term sale contracts with specified pricing or through the issuance of purchase orders by our customers. Generally, we are able to obtain a higher price per gallon for our Fuel Oil No. 2 as compared to Fuel Oil No. 6, and a significantly lower pricing for our Naphtha.
As indicated earlier, we had no fuel produced in 2016 and 2015 and no revenue from our Data Business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The company’s operating expenses consisted of the following for the:
Operating Expenses

Total Operating Expenses | $ | 492,985 | $ | 716,300 |
We incurred operating expenses of $492,985 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $716,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This $223,796 decrease was driven by a $48,823 in professional fees decrease from elimination of outside consultants, a $81,807 reduction in wages and $95,550 reduction of additional operational expenses.
Non-Operating Expenses
Interest Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred net interest expense of $176,590 as compared to $143,055 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 on the related party secured promissory and short term notes.
Income Tax Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, we had no federal taxable income due to net losses and recorded a deferred tax asset and a valuation allowance to the extent that those assets are attributable to net operating losses. We recognized the valuation allowance because we are unsure as to the ability to use these assets in the near future due to continued operating losses.
18 |
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $669,550 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to a net loss of $860,411 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. These losses consisted of losses from continuing operations of $669,650 and $864,518 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and gains from discontinued operations of $0 and $4,107 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We do not have sufficient cash to operate our business which has forced us to suspend our operations until such time as we receive a capital infusion or cash advances on the sale of our processors. The company intends to source additional capital through the sale of our equity and debt securities and other financing methods .The company will use the cash to complete the repairs on Processors #3 to resume production of fuels for pilot runs and customer demonstrationsAt March 31, 2016, we had a cash balance of $6,846. Our principal sources of liquidity in 2016 were the proceeds from the related party short-term loans from our chief executive officer. In 2015, the proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in private placements and proceeds from the related party short-term loans from our chief executive officer. As discussed earlier in this MD&A, our processors are currently idle and, thus, we are not producing fuel or generating fuel sales or processor sales. Our current cash levels are not sufficient to enable us to make the required repairs to our processors or to execute our business strategy as described in this Report. As a result, we intend to seek significant additional capital through the sale of our equity and debt securities and other financing methods to enable us to make the repairs, to meet ongoing operating costs and reduce existing liabilities. We also intend to seek cash advances or deposits under any new processor sale agreements and/or related technology licenses. Management currently anticipates that the processors will remain idle until at least the third quarter of 2016 other than running pilot, or demo, runs for sale of processors. Due to the many factors and uncertainties involved in capital markets transactions, there can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient capital to allow us to resume operations in 2016, or at all. In the interim, we anticipate that our level of operations will continue to be nominal, although we plan to continue to market our P2O processors with the intention of making additional P2O processor sales and technology licenses.
Our limited capital resources, lack of Revenue and recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flow from Operations
Cash used in operations was $302,683 and $560,525 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In 2016 and 2015 cash was mainly used to continue funding the minimum operating costs. The drop in cash used is from reduction in personnel, less use of professional consultants and tighter spending control.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
There were no investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash flow from financing activities was $291,041, and $404,090, for the three months March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For 2016 and 2015, these amounts were mainly driven by the proceeds received from short-term notes
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements in the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
Transactions with Related Parties
From June 2014 to December 31, 2015, Mr. Heddle, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, made several personal loans to the company to provide working capital. As of December 31, 2015, the current aggregate outstanding balance including accrued interest at 4% per annum was$1,689,528. (See Note 4).
From January 2016 to March 31, 2016, Mr. Heddle, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, made several personal loans to the company to provide working capital. As of March 31, 2016, the current aggregate outstanding balance including accrued interest at 12% per annum was $323,315. (See Note 4).
At March 31, 2016, the company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses included a $132,218 outstanding balance due to Heddle Marine Services, a business controlled by Mr. Richard Heddle, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and member of the Company’s board of directors. The amounts payable arose from payments made in 2014 by Heddle Marine on behalf of the company to a logistics company to transport fuel from the Niagara Falls site to the blending tanks at our facility in Thorold, Ontario, as well as for labor and material provided by Heddle Marine towards upkeep of our Canadian facilities including 2015 cleanup costs incurred in order to terminate the lease with Avondale properties on the discontinued RRON Operation.
Plastic2Oil Marine, Inc., one of the Company’s subsidiaries, which is currently not operating, entered into a consulting service contract in 2010 with a company owned by Mr. Heddle, who later (in 2014) became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The contract provides the related company with a share of the operating income earned from Plastic2Oil technology installed on marine vessels which are owned by the related company. The contract provides a minimum future payment equal to fifty percent of the operating income generated from the operations of two of the most profitable marine vessel processors and 10% from all other marine vessel processors. At December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, there were no installed marine vessel processors pursuant to the contract.
In November 19, 2014, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with Heddle Marine Services, a business controlled by Mr. Richard Heddle, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s board of directors, pursuant to which we issued to Heddle Marine a $1 million principal amount 12% Secured Promissory Note, together with a five-year warrant to purchase up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Plastic2Oil (Canada) Inc., JBI CDE Inc., Plastic2OilI Re One Inc., and JBI Re #1 Inc., Plastic2Oil of NY #1, and Plastic2Oil Marine Inc.. The results of Javaco and Pak-It are consolidated and classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. (see Note 12) All of our intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for impairment of long-lives assets, share based compensation, asset retirement obligations, inventory obsolescence, accrued liabilities and accounts receivable exposures.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent unsecured obligations due from customers under terms requesting payments upon receipt of invoices up to ninety days, depending on the customer. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at the amounts billed to the customer net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Customer balances with invoices over 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer remittance, or if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice.
20 |
Property Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows:
Leasehold improvements | lesser of useful life or term of the lease | |
Machinery and office equipment | 3-15 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years | |
Office and industrial buildings | 25-30 years |
Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred and expenditures that increase the value or useful life of the asset are capitalized.
Construction in Process
The Company capitalizes customized equipment built to be used in the future day to day operations at cost. Once complete and available for use, the cost for accounting purposes is transferred to property, plant and equipment, where normal depreciation rates are applied.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets on an asset by asset basis. Impairment is recognized on properties held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than its carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. The sale or disposal of a “component of an entity” is treated as discontinued operations. The operating properties sold by the Company typically meet the definition of a component of an entity and as such the revenues and expenses associated with sold properties are reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented (See Note 12).
Asset Retirement Obligations
The fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when identified and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement cost, equal to the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation, is capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset. The balance of the asset retirement obligation is determined through an assessment made by the Company’s engineers, of the total costs expected to be incurred by the Company when closing a facility. The total estimated cost is then discounted using the current market rates to determine the present value of the asset as of the date of this valuation. As of the date of the creation of the asset retirement obligation in the amount of $57,530, the Company determined the present value of the obligation using a discount rate equal to 2.96%. The present value of the asset retirement obligation is then capitalized on the consolidated balance sheets and is depreciated over the asset’s estimated useful life and is included in depreciation and accretion expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Increases in the asset retirement obligation resulting from the passage of time are recorded as accretion of asset retirement obligations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Actual expenditures incurred are charged against the accumulated obligations.
Environmental Contingencies
The Company records environmental liabilities at their undiscounted amounts on our consolidated balance sheets as other current or long-term liabilities when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These costs may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the timing of the cash payments is fixed or reliably determinable and extends beyond a current period. Estimates of our liabilities are based on currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into consideration the likely effects of other societal and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These amounts also consider prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, other companies’ clean-up experience and data released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other organizations. Our estimates are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs or new circumstances. We capitalize costs that benefit future periods and we recognize a current period charge in operation and maintenance expense when clean-up efforts do not benefit future periods.
We evaluate any amounts paid directly or reimbursed by government sponsored programs and potential recoveries or reimbursements of remediation costs from third parties including insurance coverage separately from our liability. Recovery is evaluated based on the creditworthiness or solvency of the third party, among other factors. When recovery is assured, we record and report an asset separately from the associated liability on our balance sheet. No amounts for recovery have been accrued to date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
P2O processor sales are recognized when the customer take possession of the processors since title to the goods and the risk of loss transfers from P2O to Customer upon delivery. P2O fuel sales are recognized when the customers take possession of the fuel since at that stage the customer has completed all prior testing necessary for their acceptance of the fuel. At the time of possession they have arranged for transportation to pick it up and the sales price has either been set in contract or negotiated prior to the time of pick up. The Company negotiates the pricing of the fuel based on the quality of the product and the type of fuel being sold (e.g. Naphtha, Fuel Oil No.6 or Fuel Oil No. 2).
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830. All monetary items have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. All non-monetary items have been translated using the historical exchange rates at the time of transactions. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Resulting differences are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign exchange gain of $7,320 and loss of $2,330 for monetary items are included as general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Disclosures About Market Risk
We may be exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur as a result of movements in interest rates and equity prices. We currently do not use financial instruments in the normal course of business that are subject to changes in financial market conditions.
Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk
We mainly operate in the United States and Canada. Due to the relative stability of the Canadian Dollar in comparison to the U.S. Dollar, we have not experienced foreign currency risk, however, should this stability change, we could be exposed to such risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We do not feel that we are subject to significant interest rate risk. We deposit surplus funds with banks earning daily interest at fixed rates and we do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. Additionally, all of our outstanding debt instruments (our mortgage and capital leases) carry fixed rates of interests. We are exposed to opportunity risk should interest rates decrease. The amount of interest bearing short-term debt outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $2,012,843 and $1,593,291, respectively.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of operating demand deposit accounts and accounts receivable. Our policy is to place our operating demand deposit accounts with high credit quality financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC, however, account balances may at times exceed insured limits. We extend limited credit to our customers based upon their creditworthiness and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other pertinent information.
We maintain cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation and the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions and has not experienced any collection losses with these financial institutions.
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2016. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
For a discussion of legal proceedings affecting the Company, see the information in Footnote 6, “Commitments and Contingencies”, to the financial statements, included in Part I of this Report.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not Applicable.
None.
