YUNHONG GREEN CTI LTD

Note 1 -Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared and, in the opinion of management, contain all material adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim consolidated financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.

Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed on April 15, 2025, which can be found on the Company’s website (www.ctiindustries.com) orwww.sec.gov.

The financial information presented in these financial statements has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000), which is in accordance with our policy to simplify the presentation. The financial information is not presented in thousand-dollar increments.

Principles of consolidation and nature of operations:

Yunhong Green CTI Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiary Yunhong Technology Industry (Hubei) Co,. Ltd., and its inactive subsidiary CTI Supply, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) (i) design, manufacture and distribute metalized balloon products throughout the world, (ii) distribute purchased latex balloons products, and (iii) operate systems for the production, lamination, coating and printing of films used for food packaging and other commercial uses and for conversion of films to flexible packaging containers and other products.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yunhong Green CTI Ltd., CTI Supply, Inc., and Yunhong Technology Industry (Hubei) Co., Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 2 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Reclassification:

Certain amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.

Use of estimates:

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include valuation allowances for credit losses and inventory valuation, and the valuation of warrants to purchase preferred stock.

Segments:

The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment, both in terms of geography and operations. All manufacturing occurs in the United States. Due to the single reportable segment, this financial information is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). There are no significant segment expenses reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). On June 30, 2024, the Company acquired production assets in China but has not yet commenced operations within this subsidiary.

Earnings per share:

Basic (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

Diluted (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and equivalents (stock options and warrants), unless anti-dilutive, during each period. In periods for which there is a net loss, diluted loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share, since the effect of including any common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.

For both March 31, 2025 and 2024, shares to be issued upon the exercise of warrants aggregated 556,000. No options were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The number of shares included in the determination of earnings on a diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were none, as doing so would have been anti-dilutive.

Revenue recognition:

Net sales include revenues from sales of products and shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for product returns. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transferred products. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when we transfer the promised products to the customer and the customer obtains control over the products. The Company recognizes revenue for shipping and handling charges at the time the goods are shipped to the customer, and the costs of outbound freight are included in cost of sales, as we have elected the practical expedient included in ASC 606.

The Company provides for product returns based on historical return rates. While we incur costs for sales commissions to our sales employees and outside agents, we recognize commission costs concurrent with the related revenue, as the amortization period is less than one year and we have elected the practical expedient included in ASC 606. We do not incur incremental costs to obtain contracts with our customers. Our product warranties are assurance-type warranties, which promise the customer that the products are as specified in the contract. Therefore, the product warranties are not a separate performance obligation and are accounted for as described herein. Sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are excluded from net sales.

Note 2 –Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a cumulative net loss from inception to March 31, 2025 of approximately $26 million. The accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s cash resources from operations may be insufficient to meet its anticipated needs during the next twelve months. If the Company does not execute its plan, it may require additional financing to fund its future planned operations.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company having adequate capital to fund its operating plan and performance. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern may include raising additional capital through sales of equity securities and borrowing, continuing to focus our Company on the most profitable elements, and exploring alternative funding sources on an as needed basis. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures and tariffs have impacted on the Company’s business operations to some extent and is expected to continue to do so and these impacts may include reduced access to capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern may be dependent upon its ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have traditionally been comprised of cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under the Credit Agreement in place at the time (see Note 3 ). This credit facility, as amended, concludes on September 30, 2025. While we expect to have sufficient financial resources available on acceptable terms, there can be no assurance this will occur, particularly in light of increasingly conservative financial markets.

Note 3 -Debt

On September 30, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Agreement”) with Line Financial (the “Lender”), which provides for a senior secured financing consisting of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $6 million (the “Maximum Revolver Amount”), subject to borrowing base provisions , and term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $731,250 (“Term Loan Amount” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Facilities”). The Senior Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The Company believes it has been in compliance with the terms of these Senior Facilities since their inception in September 2021.

Interest on the Senior Facilities was set at the prime rate published from time to time published in the Wall Street Journal (7.5% as of March 31, 2025), plus 1.45% per annum, accruing daily and payable monthly. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The Term Loan Facility shall be repaid by the Company to Lender in 48 equal monthly installments of principal and interest, each in the amount of $15,000, commencing on November 1, 2021, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the Term Loan Maturity Date (September 30, 2025). Also, the Company paid the Lender collateral monitoring fees of 4.62% of the eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment supporting the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

The Senior Facilities matured on September 30, 2023 and were extended with a maturity date of September 30, 2025. The facility automatically extends for successive periods of one year each, unless the Company or the Lender gives the other party notice of termination not less than 90 days prior to the end of such term or renewal term, as applicable. If the Senior Facilities are renewed, the Company shall pay the Lender a renewal fee of 1.25% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Term Loan Amount upon each renewal on the anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company has the option to prepay the Term Loan Facility (together with all accrued but unpaid interest and a Term Loan Prepayment Fee (as defined in the Agreement) in whole, but not in part, upon not less than 60 days prior written notice to the Lender.

The Senior Facilities require that the Company maintain Tangible Net Worth of at least $4,000,000 or greater (“Minimum Tangible Net Worth”). Minimum Tangible Net Worth may be adjusted downward by the Lender, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, based on the effect of non-cash charges and other factors on the calculation of Tangible Net Worth. Other debt subordinated to Lender is not considered as a reduction of this calculation. The Company believes it was in compliance with this covenant for all relevant months, including as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Senior Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, to incur debt or liens, make investments, enter into certain mergers, consolidations, and acquisitions, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, or make capital expenditures exceeding $1,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the term loan balance amounted to $0.6 and $0.6 million, which consisted of the principal and interest payable balance of $0.6 and $0.6 million respectively, net of deferred financing costs of approximately $11,000 and $17,000 respectively. The balance of the Revolving Line of Credit as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 amounted to $5,601,000 and $6,578,000 respectively. The Term Loan is repaid approximately $15,000 per month, offset by any applicable fees. As of March 31, 2025, there was $399,000 remaining available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company is party to a note payable to John H. Schwan, Director and former Chairman of the Board, with a loan balance due of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2023 and an interest rate of 6%. The Company repaid $1 million to Mr. Schwan during January 2024. The parties agreed to the payment of the remaining $0.3 million at a future date to be determined. This related party note payable is subordinate to the Senior Facilities.

Note 4 -Shareholders’ Equity

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock

In March 2024, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 130,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”) resulting in gross proceeds of $1.3 million from an unrelated third party. In aggregate, between Series E Preferred and Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred”) financings, $1.5 million of the total Series E and F proceeds were received as an advance prior to December 31, 2023. These funds advanced were initially classified as a current liability until the agreement was finalized and shares were issued, at which time it was reclassified as equity, similar to the prior Convertible Preferred issuances. The issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock resulted in an allocation of $0.8 million to the convertible preferred stock and $0.5 million to the warrants described below and classified as Additional Paid-In Capital. Holders of the Series E Preferred will be entitled to receive quarterly dividends at the annual rate of 8.5% of the stated value ($10 per share) and have a liquidation preference over common stock. Such dividends may be paid in cash or otherwise based on the terms of the agreement. In addition, warrants to purchase 361,400 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued with respect to this transaction. These warrants are exercisable until March 2027, at the lower of $1.52 per share or 90% of the variable price based on the ten-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock prior to exercise. Accrued dividends of $121,000 and $93,000 were recorded as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

In March 2024, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 70,000 shares of Series F Preferred resulting in gross proceeds of $0.7 million from an unrelated third party. As disclosed above certain of these proceeds were received as an advance prior to December 31, 2023. This investment was initially classified as a current liability until the agreement was finalized and shares were issued, at which time it was classified as equity, similar to the prior Convertible Preferred issuances. The issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock resulted in an allocation of $0.4 million to the convertible preferred stock and $0.3 million to the warrants described below and classified as Additional Paid-In Capital. Holders of the Series F Preferred will be entitled to receive quarterly dividends at the annual rate of 8.5% of the stated value ($10 per share) and have a liquidation preference over common stock. Such dividends may be paid in cash or stock, at the Company’s discretion, based on the terms of the agreement. In addition, warrants to purchase 194,600 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued with respect to this transaction. These warrants are exercisable until March 2027, at the lower of $1.52 per share or 90% of the variable price based on the ten-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock prior to exercise. Accrued dividends of $65,000 and $50,000 were recorded as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Warrants

As described above, in connection with the Series E and F convertible preferred equity issuances, a total of 556,000 warrants were issued, convertible in the Company’s common stock at the lower of $1.52 per share or 90% of the 10 day VWAP prior to exercise.

The Company has applied the Black-Scholes model to value stock-based awards. That model incorporates various assumptions in the valuation of stock-based awards relating to the risk-free rate of interest to be applied, the estimated dividend yield and expected volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. The risk-free rate of interest is the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods within the expected term of the option at the time of grant. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock.

The valuation assumptions we have applied to determine the value of warrants granted in 2025 were as follows:

A summary of the Company’s stock warrant activity is as follows:

As of March 31, 2025 the Company reserved the following shares of its common stock for the exercise of warrants, and preferred stock:

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted Stock Units, Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards:

Aggregated information regarding RSUs, PSUs and RSAs granted under the Plan is summarized below:

The Compensation Committee (as defined in the Plan) shall be responsible for determining when the conditions above have been satisfied. The Company records compensation expense with each vesting, and records a likelihood of vesting weighted analysis to the extent it has visibility to do so with a related grant date market value when such visibility is present. Without such visibility, it considers such probability as de minimis until additional information is available.

Note 5 -Legal Proceedings

The Company may be party to certain lawsuits or claims arising in the normal course of business. The ultimate outcome of these matters is unknown but, in the opinion of management, we do not believe any of these proceedings will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, cash flows or future results of operation.

Note 6 -Inventories

Note 7 -Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and provides an allowance for potential credit losses against the portion of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were two customers whose purchases represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. Sales to these customers for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding accounts receivable balance from these customers was $4.3 million.

Note 8 -Related Party Transactions

Schwan, held several positions with the Company over many years, most recently as Chairman of the Board until June 2020 as discussed in Note 3, Mr. John H. Schwan was owed approximately $0.3 million as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in a note from the Company.

No start-up operational expenses have been incurred by the China subsidiary as of March 31, 2025.

Note 9 -Leases

We enter into lease contracts for certain of our facilities at two locations. Our leases have remaining lease terms of three and six years.

The weighted average discount rate for our operating leases is 14.15%. We calculated the weighted-average discount rate using incremental borrowing rates, which equal the rates of interest that we would pay to borrow funds on a fully collateralized basis over a similar term.

Note 10 -Subsequent Events

On October 21, 2024, Yunhong Green CTI Ltd. (“CTI” or the “Company”), received written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) because the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the Nasdaq listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. The Notice provided an initial 180 calendar day period, or until April 21, 2025, in which to regain compliance, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

The Company was unable to gain compliance within the initial 180-day grace period, therefore on April 24, 2025, a second grace period was granted by Nasdaq which allows the Company an additional 180-day period or until October 19, 2025 to regain compliance. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before that date the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If the Company fails to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, the Company will effect a reverse stock split, if necessary.
