The normal definition of Material Implication is:
A       B          A -> B
1        1               1
1        0               0
0        1               1
0        0               1
(See any introductory work on Logic)
What was said in the original post was:
B  =!  A  ;     where '=!' symbolizes Identity Equality (as I don't have 
the symbol
                    available.)
