Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed (a) consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 2022 and (b) the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and, in the opinion of management, contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income 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-Q10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.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 and six months ended June 30, 2021 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. 2022. 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'sCompany’s annual report on Form 10-K10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021, filed on April 15, 2022, which can be found on the Company’s website (www.ctiindustries.com) or www.sec.gov.

Principles of consolidation and nature of operations:operations:

Yunhong CTI Ltd its Mexican subsidiary (Flexo Universal, S. de R.L. de C.V.), its German subsidiary (CTI Europe GmbH) and its subsidiary CTI Supply, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) (i) design, manufacture and distribute metalized and latex balloon products throughout the world, (ii) distribute purchased latex balloons products, and (ii)(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. As discussed in Note 2 Discontinued Operations, effective in the third quarter of 2019, the Company determined that it was exiting the business formerly conducted by CTI Europe GmbH (“CTI Europe”). In addition, during October 2021, the Company sold its Mexican subsidiary (Flexo Universal, S. de R.L. de C.V.), a manufacturer of latex balloons. Accordingly, the operations of this entitythese entities are classified as discontinued operations in these financial statements. The entity has been fully disposed of in the second quarter of 2021.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yunhong CTI Ltd., and CTI Supply, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries, Flexo Universal and CTI Europe, as well as the accounts of Venture Leasing S. A. de R. L.See Note 2.

The determination of whether or not to consolidate a variable interest entity under U.S. GAAP requires a significant amount of judgment concerning the degree of control over an entity by its holders of variable interest. To make these judgments, management has conducted an analysis of the relationship of the holders of variable interest to each other, the design of the entity, the expected operations of the entity, which holder of variable interests is most “closely associated” to the entity and which holder of variable interests is the primary beneficiary required to consolidate the entity. Upon the occurrence of certain events, management reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a variable interest entity.

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: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 doubtful accounts and inventory valuation, preferred stock dividends and beneficial conversion features, and assumptions used as inputs in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Segments:

The Company operates as a single segment, both in terms of geography and operations, particularly in light of the October 2021 sale of its Flexo Universal subsidiary. After that date, all manufacturing occurs in the United States.

Earnings per share:share:

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Yunhong CTI Ltd shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Yunhong CTI Ltd shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and equivalents (stock options and warrants), unless anti-dilutive, during each period.

As of June 30, 2021 2022 and 2020,2021, shares to be issued upon the exercise of options and warrants aggregated nil128,000 and 792,660,NaN, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, 2022, shares to be issued upon the conversion of Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series CD Preferred Stock was 5,000,000, 1,700,000, and 1,700,000, respectively.is summarized in Note 5. For the threesix months ended June 30, 2021, the dilutive effect of 8,400,000 shares was included in the determination of earnings on a diluted basis.   For the six months ended June 30, 2021, 2022, no assumed conversions were included in the determination of earnings on a diluted basis, as doing so would have been anti-dilutive.

Significant Accounting Policies:Policies:

The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. 2021. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.2022.

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 Discontinued Operations

During October 2021, the Company sold its interest in Flexo Universal, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Flexo”), a manufacturer of latex balloons based in Guadalajara, Mexico. The Company received $100,000 cash, a note originally worth $400,000, and title to certain manufacturing equipment. The balance of the note receivable was $202,000 and $255,000 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $343,000 and $816,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and NaN for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022.

In July 2019 management and the Board engaged in a review of CTI Balloons and CTI Europe and determined that they are not accretive to the Company overall, add complexity to the Company’s structure and utilize resources. Therefore, as of July 19, 2019, the board authorized management to divest of CTI Balloons and CTI Europe. These actions wereare being taken to focus our resources and efforts on our core business activities, particularly foil balloons and ancillary products based in North America. The Company determined that these entities met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of these operations as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and presented the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied for all periods presented. The disposal of CTI Europe was delayed due to COVID issues but is expected to be completed in the next three months. The Company divested its CTI Balloons (United Kingdom) subsidiary in the fourth quarter 2019 and divested its CTI Europe subsidiary in the second quarter of 2021.2019.

In October 2019, we determined that we would not renew our Trademark License Agreement with SC Johnson when it expired on December 31, 2019. Under this Agreement, we were licensed to manufacture and sell a line of vacuum sealing machines and pouches under the Ziploc® Brand Vacuum Sealer System. The terms of the Agreement included a run-off provision which allowed us to sell products under the Ziploc® trademark for 90 days after the end of the Agreement. Our exit of the Ziploc® product line is considered a strategic shift and had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Therefore, this product line has been presented as discontinued operations.

CTI Europe recorded a gain from discontinued operations, net of taxes of $45,000$45,000 and $146,000$146,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Our Ziploc product line recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net2022, respectively, which is included in the above. As of taxes of nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The loss, net of taxes, was ($746,000)2022 and ($1,550,000) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively.December 31, 2021, there were no assets or liabilities related to discontinued operations.

Note 3 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 June 30, 2021 2022 of over $13approximately $23 million. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 2022 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. TheIf the Company willdoes 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 obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern 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 COVID-19COVID-19 pandemic, hassupply chain challenges, and inflationary pressures have impacted the Company’s business operations to some extent and is expected to continue to do so and, in light of the effect of such pandemic on financial markets, these impacts may include reduced access to capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern ismay 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 with PNCin place at the time (see Note 4)4). As of March 2019, October 2019 and January 2020, we entered into forbearance agreements with PNC. We encountered subsequentendured compliance failures with covenants during 2020 anduntil September 2021 when we were out ofrefinanced our credit facility. We believe we have been in compliance with the terms of our new credit facility as amended, assince that time. As of June 30, 2022 we have drawn approximately $4.8 million of the maximum $6.0 million revolving line of credit, which is available subject to the value of receivables and inventory that support the line. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has received approximately $160,000 in Employee Retention Tax Credits from the United States Government related to claims that were filed during 2021. $123,000 is listed as General and Administrative, while the remainder is in Other Income.

On April 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with an unaffiliated purchaser (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company sold its facility in Lake Barrington, Illinois (the “Lake Barrington Facility”), in which our headquarters office, production and warehouse space are located, to the Purchaser. The sale price for the Lake Barrington Facility was $3,500,000,$3,500,000, consisting of $2,000,000$2,000,000 in cash and a promissory note with a principal amount of $1,500,000,$1,500,000, due and payable on May 3, 2021 (the(the “Purchaser Promissory Note”). Concurrently with the closing under the PSA, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease the Lake Barrington Facility from the Purchaser for a period of ten years years.. The annual base rent commences at $500,000$500,000 for the first year of the term and escalates annually to $652,386$652,386 during the last year of the term of the lease. As the decision to sell the Lake Barrington Facility was made in April 2021, the facility was not classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2021. Concurrently with the entry into the PSA and the Lease, the Company entered into a Consent, Forbearance and Amendment No.6 to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with PNC for itself and for the other participant lenders thereunder (collectively, the “Lender”“Former Lender”). Prior to entering into the Amendment Agreement, PNC had notified the Company that various events of default had occurred under the Loan Agreement (the “Existing Defaults”) and were continuing. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Former Lender consented to the transactions contemplated by the PSA and the Lease, as required under the Loan Agreement. As a condition to the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed that the full $2,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of the Lake Barrington Facility would be applied to repay the $2,000,000$2,000,000 term loan owed to theits Former Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company further agreed that $1,500,000 in proceeds from the Purchaser Promissory Note will be applied to amounts due and owing to thethat Lender under revolving credit advances made pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Loans”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Former Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Event of Defaults under the Loan Agreement for a period ending on the earlier of September 30, 2021, the occurrence of a new event of default under the Loan Agreement, or the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined therein). Additionally, certain additions and amendments to the Loan Agreement were set forth in the Amendment Agreement, including:

The maximum revolving advance amount is reduced from $18,000,000 to $9,000,000

The Termination date of the loan agreement is revised from December 14, 2022 to December 31, 2021

On or before June 30, 2021 or such later date as the lender agrees in its sole discretion, the Company shall receive an equity investment of at least $1,500,000 and apply 100% of the proceeds to a reduction of the revolving line of credit advance under the loan agreement (the Equity Investment)

On or before August 15, 2021, or such later date as the Lender agrees in its sole discretion, the Company shall deliver to Lender (i) a binding term sheet, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, from a financing source that provides for the refinance and payment in full, in cash, of the obligations owing under the Loan Agreement on or before September 30, 2021, or (ii) evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, that certain equity holders of the Company have available and identifiable funds that are on deposit with a depository institution that are sufficient to pay in full, in cash, all of the Company obligations under the Loan Agreement on or before September 30, 2021

On or before September 30, 2021, the Company will cause all of the amounts owing under the Loan Agreement to be paid in full in cash

The Forbearance Reserve (as defined in Amendment No.5 to the Loan Agreement) shall be increased from $1,025,000 to $2,525,000

Effective August 1, 2021, accounts receivable from Wal-Mart Stores and its affiliates shall no longer be considered eligible receivables

Modifications will be made to the budget, testing and variance provisions of the Loan Agreement.

In consideration for entering into the Loan Amendment, the Company agreedagrees to pay the Former Lender a Forbearance Fee of $1,000,000.$1,000,000. Provided, however, that, so long as no event of default under the Loan Agreement has occurred (including as a result of a failure of the Company to pay down the Revolving Loans by $1,500,000 with the proceeds of the Purchaser Promissory Note, (i) if the Company consummates the Equity Investment by June 30, 2021, the Forbearance Fee shall be reduced by $250,000,$250,000, to $750,000,$750,000, and (ii) if the Company causescaused all of the obligations under the Loan Agreement to be paid in full, in cash, on or before September 30, 2021, the Forbearance Fee shall be reduced by an additional $500,000,$500,000, to $250,000. $250,000. Both of these commitments were accomplished during 2021, making the final Forbearance Fee $250,000.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On January 3, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (as amended on February 24, 2020 and April 13, 2020 (the(the “LF Purchase Agreement”)), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and LF International Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private limited company (“LF International”), which is controlled by Company director, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yubao Li, agreed to purchase, up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s newly created shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), with each share of Series A Preferred initially convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $10.00$10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000$5,000,000 (the “LF International Offering”). As permitted by the Purchase Agreement, the Company may, in its discretion issue up to an additional 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred for a purchase price of $10.00$10.00 per share (the “Additional Shares Offering,” and collectively with the LF International Offering, the “Offering”). Approximately $1$1 million of Series A Preferred has been sold, as of June 30, 2021, including to an investor which converted an account receivable of $478,000$478,000 owed to the investor by the Company in exchange for 48,200 shares of Series A Preferred. The Company completed several closings with LF International from January 2020 through June 2020. The majority of the funds received reduced our bank debt. We issued a total of 400,000 shares of common stock to LF International and, pursuant to the LF Purchase Agreement, changed our name from CTI Industries Corporation to Yunhong CTI Ltd. LF International has the right to name three directors to serve on our Board. They arewere Mr. Yubao Li, our Chairman, Ms. Wan Zhang and Ms. Yaping Zhang. Ms. Wan Zhang and Ms. Yaping Zhang retired from the Board in January 2022.

The issuance of the Series A Preferred generated a beneficial conversion feature (BCF), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The fair value of the common stock into which the Series A Preferred was convertible exceeded the allocated purchase price fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock at the closing dates by approximately $2.5$2.5 million as of the closing dates. We recognized this BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the Series A Preferred. As the Series A Preferred is immediately convertible, the Company accreted the discount on the date of issuance. The accretion was recognized as dividend equivalents. Holders of the Series A Preferred will be entitled to receive quarterly dividends at the annual rate of 8%8% of the stated value ($10 per share). Such dividends may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock at the Company’s discretion. In the three and six months ending ended June 30, 2021 and 20202022, the Company accrued $100,000$100,000 and $200,000 of these dividends. In the six months ending June 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company accrued $200,000 and $152,741, respectively, of these dividends. dividends in each period, respectively.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In November 2020, we issued 170,000 shares of Series B Preferred for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.$1,500,000. The Series B Preferred have an initial stated value of $10.00$10.00 per share and liquidation preference over common stock. The Series B Preferred is convertible into shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares determined by dividing the sum of the stated value and any accrued and unpaid dividends by the conversion price of $1.00.$1.00. The Series B Preferred accrues dividends at a rate of 8 percent per annum, payable at our election either in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. Initially, the Series B Preferred, in whole or part, was redeemable at the option of the holder (but not mandatorily redeemable) at any time on or after November 30, 2021 for the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and thus was classified as mezzanine equity and initially recognized at fair value of $1.5$1.5 million (the proceeds on the date of issuance). In March 2021, the terms of the Series B Preferred were modified to eliminate the ability of the holder to redeem the Series B Preferred. As the Series B Preferred is no longer redeemable, the Series B Preferred is not classified as mezzanine equity as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. As a result, the carrying value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $1,646,707 which$1,783,000 and $1,715,000, respectively. The June 30, 2022 balance consists of $1,500,000$1,500,000 original carrying value, $81,206$236,000 accrued dividends and $65,500 accretion ($46,932 which occurred in 2021).

$47,000 accretion.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In January 2021 we entered into an agreement with a related party, LF International Pte. Ltd. which is controlled by theCompany director and Chairman, of the Board of Directors Mr. Yubao Li, to purchase shares of Series C Preferred stock. We issued 170,000 shares of Series C Preferred for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.$1,500,000. The Series C Preferred have an initial stated value of $10.00$10.00 per share and liquidation preference over common stock. The Series C Preferred is convertible into shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares determined by dividing the sum of the stated value and any accrued and unpaid dividends by the conversion price of $1.00.$1.00. The Series C Preferred accrues dividends at a rate of 8 percent per annum, payable at our election either in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. The issuance of the Series C Preferred generated a beneficial conversion feature (BCF), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The fair value of the common stock into which the Series C Preferred was convertible exceeded the allocated purchase price of the Series C Preferred at the closing dates by greater than the allocated purchase price. Therefore, the BCF was the purchase price of the Series C Preferred ($1.5 million) and was allocated to Additional Paid-in Capital, resulting in a discount on the Series C Preferred Stock. As the Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, the Company accreted the discount on the date of issuance. The accretion to the carrying value of the Series C Preferred is treated as a deemed dividend, recorded as a charge to Additional Paid in Capital and deducted in computing earnings per share.

The carrying value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $1,698,000 and $1,630,000, respectively. The June 30, 2022 balance consists of $1,500,000 original carrying value and $198,000 accrued dividends.

Advance from Investor

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

In June 2021, the Company received $1.5$1.5 million from an unrelated third party as an advance on a proposed sale of Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30,2021,September 30, 2021, the Company was in the process of negotiating and finalizing the terms of the arrangement. As the agreement was not finalized as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the $1.5$1.5 million advance iswas classified as Advance from Investor within liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.

In connection withsheet at that time. As of December 31, 2021, the terms had been finalized, the investment was classified as equity, similar to the prior Convertible Preferred issuances, above. The issuance of the Series A Offering,D Preferred generated a beneficial conversion feature (BCF), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in 2020the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The fair value of the common stock into which the Series D Preferred was convertible exceeded the allocated purchase price fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock at the closing dates by approximately $0.3 million as of the closing dates. We recognized this BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the Series D Preferred. As the Series D Preferred is immediately convertible, the Company issued 792,660accreted the discount on the date of issuance. The accretion was recognized as dividend equivalents. Holders of the Series D Preferred will be entitled to receive quarterly dividends at the annual rate of 8% of the stated value ($10 per share). Such dividends may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock at the Company’s discretion. In addition, 128,000 warrants to purchase 792,660 shares of the Company’s common stock for $1were issued with respect to this transaction.

Risk-free interest rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the rate payable on US treasury securities with a similar maturity in effect at the time of the grant, which was a range from .42% - 1.65%.

Expected life: The expected life of the warrants represents the period of time warrants were expected to be outstanding. The Company used an expected life of 5 years.

Dividend yield: The estimate for dividend yield is 0%, as the Company did not issue dividends during 2020 or 2019 and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. We may enter into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on a portion of our variable interest rate debt to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in market interest rates. Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in accrued liabilities of our consolidated balance sheet. Our accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether they meet our criteria for designation as hedging transactions, which include the instrument’s effectiveness, risk reduction and, in most cases, a one-to-one matching of the derivative instrument to our underlying transaction. As of June 30, 2021, we had no such instrument.

Comparability

In July 2019, management and the Board engaged in a review of CTI Balloons and CTI Europe and determined that they are not accretive to the Company overall, add complexity to the Company’s structure and utilize resources. Therefore, as of July 19, 2019, the Board authorized management to divest these international subsidiaries. These actions were taken to focus our resources and efforts on our core business activities, particularly foil balloons and ancillary products based in North America. The Company determined that these entities met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of these International operations as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and presented the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied for all periods presented. The Company divested its CTI Balloons (United Kingdom) subsidiary in the fourth quarter 2019, its Ziploc product line in the first quarter 2020, and divested its CTI Europe (Germany) subsidiary in the second quarter 2021.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern 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 COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company’s business operations to some extent and is expected to continue to do so and, in light of the effect of such pandemic on financial markets, these impacts may include reduced access to capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is 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 with PNC (see Note 4). As of March 2019, October 2019 and January 2020, we entered into forbearance agreements with PNC. We encountered subsequent compliance failures with covenants during 2020 and we were out of compliance with the terms of our credit facility, as amended, as of March 31, 2021. 

On April 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with an unaffiliated purchaser (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company sold its facility in Lake Barrington, Illinois (the “Lake Barrington Facility”), in which our headquarters office, production and warehouse space are located, to the Purchaser. The sale price for the Lake Barrington Facility was $3,500,000, consisting of $2,000,000 in cash and a promissory note with a principal amount of $1,500,000, due and payable on May 3, 2021 (the “Purchaser Promissory Note”). Concurrently with the closing under the PSA, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease the Lake Barrington Facility from the Purchaser for a period of ten years. The annual base rent commences at $500,000 for the first year of the term and escalates annually to $652,386 during the last year of the term of the lease. Concurrently with the entry into the PSA and the Lease, the Company entered into a Consent, Forbearance and Amendment No. 6 to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with its then-lender PNC for itself and for the other participant lenders thereunder (collectively, the “Lender”“Prior Lender”). Prior to entering into the Amendment Agreement, PNC had notified the Company that various events of default had occurred under the Loan Agreement (the “Existing Defaults”) and were continuing. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Prior Lender consented to the transactions contemplated by the PSA and the Lease, as required under the Loan Agreement. As a condition to the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed that the full $2,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of the Lake Barrington Facility would be applied to repay the $2,000,000 term loan owed to the Prior Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company further agreed that $1,500,000 in proceeds from the Purchaser Promissory Note will be applied to amounts due and owing to the Prior Lender under revolving credit advances made pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Loans”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Prior Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Event of Defaults under the Loan Agreement for a period ending on the earlier of September 30, 2021, the occurrence of a new event of default under the Loan Agreement, or the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined therein). Additionally, certain additions and amendments to the Loan Agreement were set forth in the Amendment Agreement, including:

The Maximum Revolving Advance Amount iswas reduced from $18,000,0000 to $9,000,000;

 

The Termination Date of the Loan Agreement iswas revised from December 14, 2022 to December 31, 2021;

 

On or before June 30, 2021, or such later date as the Prior Lender agreesagreed in its sole discretion, the Company shall receive an equity investment of at least $1,500,000 and apply 100% of the proceeds to a reduction of the Revolving Credit Advance under the Loan Agreement (the “Equity Investment”);

 

On or before August 15, 2021, or such later date as the Prior Lender agrees in its sole discretion, the Company shall deliver to Lender (i) a binding term sheet, in form and substance acceptable to Prior Lender, from a financing source that provides for the refinance and payment in full, in cash, of the obligations owing under the Loan Agreement on or before September 30, 2021, or (ii) evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to the Prior Lender, that certain equity holders of the Company have available and identifiable funds that are on deposit with a depository institution that are sufficient to pay in full, in cash, all of the Company obligations under the Loan Agreement on or before September 30, 2021;

 

On or before September 30, 2021, the Company will cause all of the amounts owing under the Loan Agreement to be paid in full in cash;

 

The Forbearance Reserve (as defined in Amendment No. 5 to the Loan Agreement) shall bewas increased from $1,025,000 to $2,525,000;

 

Effective August 1, 2021, accounts receivable from Wal-Mart Stores and its affiliates shallwas no longer be considered eligible receivables;

 

Modifications will be made to the budget, testing and variance provisions of the Loan Agreement.

In consideration for entering into the Loan Amendment, the Company agreed to pay the Prior Lender a Forbearance Fee of $1,000,000. Provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default under the Loan Agreement has occurred (including as a result of a failure of the Company to pay down the Revolving Loans by $1,500,000 with the proceeds of the Purchaser Promissory Note, (i) if the Company consummates the Equity Investment by June 30, 2021, the Forbearance Fee shall be reduced by $250,000, to $750,000, and (ii) if the Company causes all of the obligations under the Loan Agreement to be paid in full, in cash, on or before September 30, 2021, the Forbearance Fee shall be reduced by an additional $500,000, to $250,000.

September 30, 2021 financing

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”) 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”). Proceeds of loans borrowed under the Senior Facilities were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s PNC Agreements and for the Company’s working capital. The Senior Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the Company.

Table of Contents

Interest on the Senior Facilities shall be the prime rate published from time to time published in the Wall Street Journal (4.75% as of July 12, 2022), plus 1.95% 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 $15,234, commencing on November 1, 2021, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the Term Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement). Also, the Company will pay 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. In addition, the Company paid the Lender a loan fee of 1.25% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and the Term Loan Amount upon the execution of the Agreement.

The Senior Facilities mature on September 30, 2023 and shall automatically be extended for successive periods of one year each, unless the Company or the Lender gives the other party written 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 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 shall, commencing December 31, 2021, 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 during each relevant month, including as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 million in the aggregate in any fiscal year.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the term loan balance amounted to $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which consisted of the principal and interest payable balance of $0.6 million and $0.7 million and deferred financing costs of $0.1 million. The balance of the Revolving Line of Credit as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $4.8 and $5.0 million, respectively.

Comparability

In July 2019, management and the Board engaged in a review of CTI Balloons and CTI Europe and determined that they are not accretive to the Company overall, add complexity to the Company’s structure and utilize resources. Therefore, as of July 19, 2019, the Board authorized management to divest these international subsidiaries. These actions were taken to focus our resources and efforts on our core business activities, particularly foil balloons and ancillary products based in North America. The Company determined that these entities met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of these International operations as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and presented the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These changes have been applied for all periods presented. The Company divested its CTI Balloons (United Kingdom) subsidiary in the fourth quarter 2019, its Ziploc product line in the first quarter 2020, and its CTI Europe (Germany) subsidiary in 2021. Additionally, the Company sold its latex balloon manufacturer in Mexico (Flexo Universal) during October 2021.

Foil Balloons. Revenues from the sale of foil balloons decreased during the three months period from $4,563,000 ending June 30, 2021 compared to $2,674,000 during the three month period of 2022. Revenues from the sale of foil balloons decreased during the six month period from $9,498,000 ending June 30, 2021 compared to $6,506,000 during the six month period of 2022. An increase in the price of helium during 2022 negatively impacted customers of most types of foil balloons. This price increase was the result of both the broad inflationary pressures and restrictions on trade with Russia, as we believe the latter supplies approximately 5% of the helium used in the marketplace. This combined with temporary individual supply issues created increased pricing in the market. We also discontinued certain products for which we were not able to secure adequate inflationary price increases.

Films. Revenues from the sale of commercial films were $535,000 and $1,363,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to $505,000 and $811,000 during the same periods of 2021.

Other Revenues. Revenues from the sale of other products were $1,209,000 and $2,346,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to $644,000 and $2,002,000 during the same periods of 2021. The revenues from the sale of other products during these periods include (i) sales of a line of “Candy Blossoms” and similar products consisting of candy and small inflated balloons sold in small containers, (ii) latex balloons, and (iii) the sale of accessories and supply items related to balloon products. The largest shipments of candy blossoms during 2021 occurred during March, while the same shipments during 2022 occurred during April.

Sales to a limited number of customers continue to represent a large percentage of our net sales. The table below illustrates the impact on sales of our top three and ten customers for the three month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Interest expense decreased due to the reduction of the Company’s senior debt facility, as well as the manner of charges from the Company’s lender during the relevant period. The lender during 2021 charged more interest, while the lender during 2022 charges lower interest and a monitoring fee that is recorded in General and Administrative expenses.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company executing its business plan and, if unable to do so, in obtaining adequate capital on acceptable terms to fund any operating losses. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include executing its business plan, 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 COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures have impacted 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 is dependent upon its ability to successfully generate or otherwise 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 with prior lender PNC (see Note 4) until September 30, 2021, at which time we refinanced with a new facility from Line Capital. Through September 2021, we entered into a series of forbearance agreements with PNC related to compliance failures with covenants. We believe that we have been in compliance with covenants since refinancing with Line Financial.

On April 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with an unaffiliated purchaser (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company sold its facility in Lake Barrington, Illinois (the “Lake Barrington Facility”), in which our headquarters office, production and warehouse space are located, to the Purchaser. The sale price for the Lake Barrington Facility was $3,500,000, consisting of $2,000,000 in cash and a promissory note with a principal amount of $1,500,000, due and payable on May 3, 2021 (the “Purchaser Promissory Note”). Concurrently with the closing under the PSA, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease the Lake Barrington Facility from the Purchaser for a period of ten years. The annual base rent commenced at $500,000 for the first year of the term and escalates annually to $652,386 during the last year of the term of the lease. Concurrently with the entry into the PSA and the Lease, the Company entered into a Consent, Forbearance and Amendment No. 6 to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with PNC for itself and for the other participant lenders thereunder (collectively, the “Prior Lender”). Prior to entering into the Amendment Agreement, PNC had notified the Company that various events of default had occurred under the Loan Agreement (the “Existing Defaults”) and were continuing. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Prior Lender consented to the transactions contemplated by the PSA and the Lease, as required under the Loan Agreement. As a condition to the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed that the full $2,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of the Lake Barrington Facility would be applied to repay the $2,000,000 term loan owed to the Prior Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company further agreed that $1,500,000 in proceeds from the Purchaser Promissory Note would be applied to amounts due and owing to the Prior Lender under revolving credit advances made pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Loans”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Prior Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Event of Defaults under the Loan Agreement for a period ending on the earlier of September 30, 2021, the occurrence of a new event of default under the Loan Agreement, or the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined therein).

In consideration for entering into the Loan Amendment, the Company agreed to pay the Lender a Forbearance Fee of $1,000,000. Provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default under the Loan Agreement has occurred (including as a result of a failure of the Company to pay down the Revolving Loans by $1,500,000 with the proceeds of the Purchaser Promissory Note, (i) if the Company consummates the Equity Investment by June 30, 2021, the Forbearance Fee shall be reduced by $250,000, to $750,000, and (ii) if the Company caused all of the obligations under the Loan Agreement to be paid in full, in cash, on or before September 30, 2021, the Forbearance Fee shall be reduced by an additional $500,000, to $250,000. As these requirements were met, the final Forbearance Fee was $250,000.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"“Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission'sCommission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Commission'sCommission’s rules and forms.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of June 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021,2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the material weaknesses described below.

(b)Management's Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021.2022. In making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"(“COSO”).

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant'sregistrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

We lacked a sufficient number of accounting professionals with the necessary knowledge, experience and training to adequately account for significant, unusual transactions that resulted in misapplications of GAAP, particularly with regard to the timing of recognition of certain non-cash charges, and

We are overly dependent upon our Acting Chief Financial Officer, who at present is our Chief Executive Officer, within an environment that is highly manual in nature.

As a result of the material weaknesses, we have concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021.2022.

Part II.OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. 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.

In July, 2017, God’s Little Gift, Inc.
