QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q/A
For the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends and restates certain items noted below in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Yunhong CTI Ltd. (formerly CTI Industries Corporation) (the “Company”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A amends the Original Filing to reflect the following changes. First, the Original Filing was made without the benefit of auditor review, as noted in the Original Filing, and this amendment reflects the inclusion of outside auditor participation. Second, additional information of subsequent events is detailed in this amended filing. Third, we adjusted the financial statement line items on which the $3 million impairment charge was recorded and added footnote disclosure to further describe the impairment charge. Finally, we adjusted our lease accounting entry on the balance sheet.
As of January 3, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. This Form 10-Q/A is being prepared with the benefit of auditor review and will constitute our amended filing.
This Form 10-Q/A has also been updated to reflect disclosure of subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date, but before the issuance of the associated financial statements. The subsequent events included the Company’s decision to exit its underperforming international subsidiaries, exit a significant product line, change its capital structure and focus its efforts on its US-based foil balloon and related product offerings.
For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only the following financial statements and disclosures that were impacted from the changes:
● |
Item No. 1 – Financial Statements |
● |
Item No. 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
|
● | Item No. 4 – Controls and Procedures |
● |
Item No. 6 – Exhibits |
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

Yunhong CTI Ltd. (formerly CTI Industries Corporation) and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed (a) consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, 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-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 and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. 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, 2018.
Principles of consolidation and nature of operations:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yunhong CTI Ltd. (formerly CTI Industries Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CTI Balloons Limited and CTI Supply, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, Flexo Universal, S. de R.L. de C.V. and CTI Europe gmbH, as well as the accounts of Venture Leasing S. A. de R. L., Venture Leasing L.L.C and Clever Container Company, L.L.C. (the “Company”). The last three entities have been consolidated as variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company (i) designs, manufactures and distributes balloon and related novelty (candy and party related) products throughout the world, (ii) operates 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, and (iii) distributes vacuum sealing products and home organization products in the United States. We have announced our intention to divest our interest in Clever Container and deconsolidate that entity from our group. As we are still the entity most closely associated with Clever Container in our related party group as of June 30, 2019, it remains consolidated as a variable interest entity.
Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”):
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. There are three entities that have been consolidated as variable interest entities.
Use of estimates:
In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include reserves for doubtful accounts, reserves for the lower of cost or market of inventory, reserves for deferred tax assets and recovery value of goodwill.
Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income 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, 2019 and 2018, shares to be issued upon the exercise of options and warrants aggregated 471,144 for each period. The number of shares included in the determination of earnings on a diluted basis for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were none, as doing so would have been anti-dilutive.
Significant Accounting 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, 2018. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019, except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases.
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842 (Leases). The adoption of this standard significantly increased our assets and liabilities and further discussed in Note 12. ASC 842 requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities related to leases with terms in excess of 12 months. Such assets are typically considered Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) assets. Prior information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 (Revenue From Contracts With Customers) using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, as our revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods at a fixed price.
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.
Auditor Replacement Process:
During April 2019, our independent registered accounting firm, Plante & Moran PLLC, declined to stand for reappointment as auditor. As of January 3rd, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31st, 2019. Previously, the quarterly report on Form 10-Q was prepared without the benefit of auditor review. This Form 10-Q/A is filed with review from RBSM.
Prior Period Reclassification
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation and had no effect on prior period net loss or stockholders’ equity.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), also referred to as “ASC 842” or “New Lease Standard”, which supersedes ASC 840 Leases (Topic 840), and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The FASB has continued to clarify this guidance through the issuance of additional ASUs. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less may be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. ASC 842 was effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2019. We reported our financial information for fiscal years ending before December 31, 2018 under the Topic 840 lease accounting standard. The Company applied the modified retrospective transition method and elected the transition option to use the effective date of January 1, 2019 as the date of initial application. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the transition adjustment as of the effective date and will not provide any new lease disclosures for periods before the effective date. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and did not elect the use of the hindsight practical expedient. As a result, the Company will, in effect, continue to account for existing leases as classified in accordance with ASC 840, throughout the entire lease term, including periods after the effective date, with the exception that the Company will apply the new balance sheet recognition guidance for operating leases and apply ASC 842 for remeasurements and modifications after the transition date.
Other key practical expedients elected by the Company (as a lessee) relate to maintaining leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet; not separating lease and non-lease components and the use of the portfolio approach to determine the incremental borrowing rate. For transition purposes, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate based on the total lease term and total minimum rental payments. The Company completed its identification of leases which comprised two building leases and two equipment leases. Further, the Company analyzed service contracts and parts assembly arrangements from suppliers and did not identify any material leases of production equipment. On the date of initial application, the Company recognized right-of-use ("ROU") assets and leasing liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets of approximately $2.8 million. The adoption had no significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under the Credit Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) (see Note 3). As indicated in Note 3, twice during 2018 we violated covenants in our credit facility and as of March 2019 we entered into a forbearance agreement with PNC. Under the terms of this agreement, financial covenants as of March 31, 2019 were not considered and all previously identified compliance failures were waived, but we remain out of compliance with the terms of our credit facility, as amended, including the covenants as of June 30, 2019 calculated on or about July 31, 2019. On August 1, 2019, PNC issued a Default and Reservation of Rights letter to the Company, in which PNC advised that line of credit advances would continue to be available to the Company at PNC’s sole discretion, and subject to its terms and conditions.
In addition to the above, due to financial performance in 2016, 2017 and 2018, including net income/(losses) attributable to the Company of $0.7 million, ($1.6 million), and ($3.6 million), respectively, we believe that substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists at June 30, 2019.
Additionally, we have experienced challenges in maintaining adequate seasonal working capital balances, made more challenging by increases in financing and labor costs. These changes in cash flows have created strain within our operations and have therefore increased our desire to incorporate additional funding resources.
Management’s plans include:
(1) Pursuing a strategically significant major capital event.
(2) Working with our bank to resolve our compliance failure on a long-term basis.
(3) Evaluating and potentially executing a sale/leaseback transaction of our facility in Lake Barrington, IL.
(4) Continuing to monitor the equity market for the potential to complete the transaction attempted during 2018, and
(5) Exploring alternative funding sources.
Management Assessment
Considering both quantitative and qualitative information, we continue to believe that our plans to obtain additional financing will provide us with an ability to finance our operations through 2019 and, if adequately executed, will mitigate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Debt
During December 2017, we terminated a prior credit arrangement and entered in new financing agreements with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). The “PNC Agreements” include a $6 million term loan and an $18 million revolving credit facility, with a termination date of December 2022.
Available credit under the Revolving Credit facility is determined by eligible receivables and inventory at Yunhong CTI, LTD (U.S.) and Flexo Universal (Mexico). We notified PNC of our failure to meet two financial covenants as of March 31, 2018. On June 8, 2018, we entered into Waiver and Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment 1”) to our PNC Agreements. The Amendment modified certain covenants, added others, waived our failure to comply as previously reported, and included an amendment fee and temporary increase in interest rate. During September 2018, we filed a preliminary prospectus on Form S-1 for a planned equity issuance. On October 8, 2018, we entered into Consent and Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment 2”) to our PNC Agreements. Amendment 2 reduced the amount of new funding proceeds that must be used to repay the term loan from $5 million to $2 million and waived the calculation of financial ratios for the period ended September 30, 2018, in exchange for a new covenant committing to raise at least $7.5 million in gross proceeds from our equity issuance by November 15, 2018 and pay an amendment fee. Market conditions ultimately forced us to postpone the offering, and thus no proceeds were received by the November 15, 2018 requirement.
We engaged PNC to resolve this failure to meet our amended covenant, and as of March 2019 entered into a forbearance agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, previously identified compliance failures were waived and financial covenants as of March 31, 2019 were not considered, with the next calculation due July 31, 2019 for the period ended June 30, 2019. We received a temporary over-advance of $1.2 million, which declined to zero over a six-week period under the terms of this agreement and paid a fee of $250,000.
On August 1, 2019, PNC issued a Notice of Default and Reservation of Rights letter, indicating the end of the forbearance period and continued events of default with our credit agreement, as amended. We remain out of compliance with the terms of our facility and have thus reclassified long-term bank debt to current liabilities on our balance sheet.
Available credit under the Revolving Credit facility is determined by eligible receivables and inventory at Yunhong CTI, LTD (U.S.) and Flexo Universal (Mexico).
Certain terms of the PNC Agreements include:
● |
Restrictive Covenants: The Credit Agreement includes several restrictive covenants under which we are prohibited from, or restricted in our ability to: |
o |
Borrow money; |
o |
Pay dividends and make distributions; |
o |
Make certain investments; |
o |
Use assets as security in other transactions; |
o |
Create liens; |
o |
Enter into affiliate transactions; |
o |
Merge or consolidate; or |
o |
Transfer and sell assets. |
● |
Financial Covenants: The Credit Agreement includes a series of financial covenants we are required to meet including: |
o |
We are required to maintain a "Leverage Ratio", which is defined as the ratio of (a) Funded Debt (other than the Shareholder Subordinated Loan) as of such date of determination to (b) EBITDA (as defined in the PNC Agreements) for the applicable period then ended. The highest values for this ratio allowed by the PNC Agreements are: |
Fiscal Quarter Ratio
December 31, 2017 |
4.75 | to | 1.00 | ||
June 30, 2018 |
4.50 | to | 1.00 | ||
June 30, 2018 |
4.25 | to | 1.00 | ||
September 30, 2018 | not applicable | ||||
December 31, 2018 |
3.50 | to | 1.00 | ||
March 31, 2019 | not applicable | ||||
June 30, 2019 |
3.00 | to | 1.00 | ||
September 30, 2019 and thereafter |
2.75 | to | 1.00 |
o |
We are required to maintain a "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio", which is defined as the ratio of (a) EBITDA for such fiscal period, minus Unfinanced Capital Expenditures made during such period, minus distributions (including tax distributions) and dividends made during such period, minus cash taxes paid during such period to (b) all Debt Payments made during such period. This ratio must not exceed 1.1 : 1.0 for any quarterly calculation. |
The credit agreement provides for interest at varying rates in excess of the prime rate, depending on the level of senior debt to EBITDA over time. We also entered into a swap agreement with PNC Bank to fix the rate of interest for $3 million of the notes over 3 years at 2.25%. This contract was made at market value upon December 14, 2017 execution and accounted for as a hedge. This contract terminated during 2019 under the terms of the forbearance agreement.
Failure to comply with these covenants has caused us to pay a higher rate of interest (by 2% per the Agreements), and other potential penalties may impact the availability of the credit facility itself, and thus might negatively impact our ability to remain a going concern. As described above in this Note as well as in Note 2, we remain out of compliance with the terms of this facility.
As of December 2017, Mr. Schwan was owed a total of $1,099,000, with additional accrued interest of $400,000, by the Company. As part of the December 2017 financing with PNC, Mr. Schwan executed a subordination agreement related to these amounts due him, as evidenced by a related note representing the amount owed to Mr. Schwan. During January 2019, Mr. Schwan converted $600,000 of his balance into approximately 181,000 shares of our common stock at the then market rate. No payments were issued to Mr. Schwan during 2018 or the three or six months ended June 30, 2019, with $15,000 and $30,000, respectively, of interest recorded as an expense.
Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation; Changes in Equity
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on their grant-date fair values.
The Company has applied the Black-Scholes model to value stock-based awards and issued warrants related to notes payable. 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 our common stock. The risk-free rate of interest is the related U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods within the expected term of the option at the time of grant. The dividend yield on our common stock is estimated to be 0%, as the Company did not issue dividends during 2019 and 2018. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 includes approximately $23,000 and $44,000, respectively, in 2019 and $52,000 and $172,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to share based payments. As of June 30, 2019, there was $140,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option grants and stock grants. We expect approximately $40,000 of additional stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the remainder of 2019, and $56,000 to be recognized during 2020.
On April 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved for adoption, and on June 5, 2009, the shareholders of the Corporation approved, a 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan and subsequent awards categorized as inducement of employment authorized the issuance of up to 510,000 shares of stock or options to purchase stock of the Company (including cancelled shares reissued under the plan.) On June 8, 2018, our shareholders approved the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of our common stock in the form of equity-based awards. Because no registration on Form S-8 was filed for these additional shares within 12 months of approval by our shareholders, those additional shares are not available for issuance in the normal course. As of June 30, 2019, options for 471,144 shares remain outstanding.
A summary of the Company’s stock option activity, which includes grants of restricted stock, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, warrants and related information, is as follows:

The instruments above have an aggregate intrinsic value of $80,000, which represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all the holders exercised their options on June 30, 2019.
As described in Note 5, we issued 20,000 shares of common stock to Gary Page in a legal settlement during January 2019. The value of those shares on the date of issuance was approximately $67,000. We issued 100,000 shares of common stock to a longtime sales representative during May 2019, which, at then market value, was in lieu of approximately $303,000 of earned cash compensation.
On January 11, 2019, the Company and its Chairman, Mr. John Schwan, completed an exchange debt for equity upon receipt of consent for the transaction from the Company’s lender. Mr. Schwan surrendered $600,000 in notes from the Company in exchange for 180,723 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value was set at the $3.32 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ stock market on December 20, 2018.
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.
In July 2017, God’s Little Gift, Inc. (d\b\a) Helium and Balloons Across America and Gary Page (“Claimants”) filed an action against the Company based on disputed compensation amounts over several years. This action was resolved by mutual agreement between the parties during January 2019. Mr. Page received 20,000 shares of CTI common stock, $5,000 in cash, and a minimum payout in his monthly royalty calculation of $7,667 beginning March 1, 2019 and ending August 1, 2021. The Company accrued the $0.3 million in committed costs under this settlement in its December 31, 2018 financial statements.
Note 6 - Other Comprehensive Income
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred other comprehensive income of approximately $297,000, all from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 9 - 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 and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were two customers whose purchases represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, respectively. Sales to these customers for the three ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

As of June 30, 2019, the total amounts owed to the Company by these customers were approximately $2,488,000 or 30%, and $1,044,000 or 12%, of the Company’s consolidated net accounts receivable, respectively. The amounts owed at June 30, 2018 by these customers were approximately $4,808,000 or 57%, and $1,524,000 or 18% of the Company’s consolidated net accounts receivable, respectively.
Note 10 - Related Party Transactions
Stephen M. Merrick, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is of counsel to the law firm of Vanasco Genelly and Miller PC which used to provide legal services to the Company. Legal fees paid by the Company to this firm for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were none and $16,000. Legal fees paid by the Company to this firm for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were none and $88,000.
John H. Schwan, through an investment entity, and Stephen M. Merrick, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, also through an investment entity own, in aggregate, a 50% interest in Clever Container Company L.L.C., an Illinois limited liability company (“Clever Container”). During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Clever Container purchased various products from the Company in the amount of $1,000 and $259,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Clever Container purchased various products from the Company in the amount of $63,000 and $442,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the balance of accounts receivable from Clever Container to the Company were $1,379,000 and $1,199,000, respectively. The Company owns a 28.5% interest in Clever Container, though has announced the intention to divest its interest in Clever Container.
Note 11 - Derivative Instruments; Fair Value
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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had one derivative instrument accounted for as a hedge, with the same instrument accounted for as a hedge as of June 30, 2018. Gains and losses from changes in fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. We have no such derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2018. Changes in fair value for the respective periods were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
The interest rate swap we entered into December 14, 2017 had a three year term (ending December 14, 2020) and a notional amount of $3 million. The Company purchased a 2.25% fixed rate in exchange for the variable rate on a portion of the notes payable under the PNC Agreements, which was 1.47% at time of execution. The fair value of the swap was insignificant as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019. This instrument was terminated during 2019 as a result of the forbearance agreement entered into during March 2019.
Note 12 - Leases
We adopted ASC Topic 842 (Leases) on January 1, 2019. This standard requires us to record certain operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on our balance sheet. Results for periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 840. We elected the package of practical expedients available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of whether contracts are (or contain) leases, as well as lease classification tests and treatment of initial direct costs. We also elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all fixed payments, and we exclude variable lease payments in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease obligations.
Upon adoption of ASC 842 we recorded a $2.8 million increase in other assets, a $1.1 million increase in current liabilities, and a $1.7 million increase in non-current liabilities. We did not record any cumulative effect adjustments in opening retained earnings, and adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Most of our operating leases do not provide an implicit rate of interest so we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. We lease various assets in the course of ordinary business including: warehouses and manufacturing facilities, as well as vehicles and equipment used in our operations. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and related improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a reasonably certain expected transfer or title or purchase option. Some lease agreements include renewal options at our sole discretion. Any guaranteed residual value is included in our lease liability. The amortizable lives of operating and financing leased assets are limited by the expected lease term. The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating and financing lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralize basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. The Company used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for leases that commenced prior to that date.

Note 13 - Summary of Subsequent Events
In July of 2019 management and the Board engaged in a review of the Company’s international subsidiaries 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 all international subsidiaries. The Company divested its United Kingdom subsidiary in the fourth quarter 2019 and expects to divest its European (German) and Mexican subsidiaries in the first half of 2020. The operations of these entities will be presented as discontinued operations in the third quarter 2019, the period in which they met the accounting criteria for discontinued operations. These actions are being taken to focus our resources and efforts on our core business activities, particularly foil balloons and ancillary products based in the United States. 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had revenue of $2.2 million associated with products which utilized the Ziploc® trademark. Our exit of the Ziploc® product line is considered a strategic shift and will have a major effect on our operations and financial results on a go forward basis. However, as we continued to utilize the Ziploc® related assets in 2020, those assets will not be considered abandoned until they cease to be used at the end of the first quarter of 2020. Therefore, our Ziploc® operations cannot be classified as discontinued operations in these financial statements but will be presented as discontinued operations when all of the applicable accounting criteria are met. We have also dramatically changed our capital structure. On January 3, 2020 we entered into a securities purchase agreement, as amended on February 24, 2020 and April 13, 2020, (the “LF Purchase Agreement”) with LF International Pte., a Singapore private limited company (the “LF International”), which is controlled by Company director Mr. Yubao Li, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and LF International agreed to purchase, up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A Convertible 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 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the “LF International Offering”). As a result of the LF International Offering, a change of control of the Company may occur. As permitted by the LF 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 per share to additional investors (the “Additional Shares Offering,” and collectively with the LF International Offering, the “Offering”). On January 13, 2020, the Company conducted its first closing of the LF International Offering, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000. Pursuant to the LF Purchase Agreement, LF International received the right to nominate and elect one member to the Company’s board of directors (subject to certain adjustments), effective as of the first closing, as well as a second director by the earlier of (i) the Company’s upcoming 2020 annual meeting of shareholders and (ii) May 15, 2020 and a third director by the Company’s upcoming 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. Pursuant to LF International’s nomination, effective January 13, 2020, the Board appointed Mr. Yubao Li as a director of the Company. Additionally, pursuant to the LF Purchase Agreement, on March 12, 2020, the Company changed its name to Yunhong CTI Ltd. To date, the Company has sold 492,660 shares of Series A Preferred to LF International and other accredited investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,926,600. Additionally, on April 1, 2020, an investor converted an accounts receivable of $482,000 owed to the investor by the Company in exchange for 48,200 shares of Series A Preferred. Our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted by the spread of COVID-19. We sell our products throughout the United States and in many foreign countries and may be impacted by public health crises beyond our control. This could disrupt our operations and negatively impact sales of our products. Our customers, suppliers and distributors may experience similar disruption. In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization has since declared the outbreak to constitute a pandemic. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the impact on our customers and employees, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The preventative and protective actions that governments have taken to counter the effects of COVID-19 have resulted in a period of business disruption, including delays in shipments of products and raw materials. To the extent the impact of COVID-19 continues or worsens, the demand for our products may be negatively impacted, and we may have difficulty obtaining the materials necessary for the production of our products. In addition, the production facilities of our suppliers may be closed for sustained periods of time and industry-wide shipment of products may be negatively impacted, the severity of which may exceed the $1 million in Payroll Protection Program funds received by the Company from the US Federal Government. COVID-19 has also delayed certain strategic transactions the Company intended to close on in the near future and the Company does not know if and when such transactions will be completed.
Note 14 Impairment –
In connection with management’s intentions to simplify our operations and organizational structure, we identified impairments of $2.9 million related to our two European sales subsidiaries and Clever Container. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company identified an impairment indicator related to the goodwill associated with Flexo. The impairment charge was comprised of the following: $1.25 inventory write-off, $66,000 allowance for doubtful accounts; $1.3M impairment of goodwill; and $280,000 impairment of additional long-lived assets.
Note 15 – Restatement of Financial Statements
As of January 3, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. This Form 10-Q/A is being prepared with the benefit of auditor review and will constitute our amended filing.
This Form 10-Q/A has also been updated to reflect disclosure of subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date, but before the issuance of the associated financial statements. The subsequent events include the Company’s decision to exit its underperforming international subsidiaries, exit a significant product line, change its capital structure and focus its efforts on its US-based foil balloon and related product offerings.
The company had previously included a non-cash charge of $3,000,000 during the second quarter of 2019 in anticipation of the divestiture or liquidation of European Sales entities and Clever Container. This Form 10-Q/A has had this reserve replaced by detailed calculations. Based on this detailed calculation herein we believe the magnitude of the initial charge was appropriate. The change in the statement in equity was related to the increase in net gain of $237,000 and the corresponding decrease in stockholders’ equity at period end.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report includes both historical and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future results. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although we believe that our opinions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and our actual results may differ substantially from the views and expectations set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or expectations.
Overview
We produce film products for novelty, packaging and container applications. These products include foil balloons, latex balloons and related products, films for packaging and custom product applications, and flexible containers for packaging and consumer storage applications. We produce all of our film products for packaging, container applications and most of our foil balloons at our plant in Lake Barrington, Illinois. We produce all of our latex balloons and latex products at our facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. Substantially all of our film products for packaging and custom product applications are sold to customers in the United States. We market and sell our novelty items and flexible containers for consumer use in the United States, Mexico, Latin America, and Europe. We also market and sell vacuum sealing machines, home organizing and container products, Candy Blossoms and party goods.
As of January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, as our revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods at a fixed price.
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 we expect 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. We recognize 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.
We provide 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.
As of January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”). Refer to Note 12 for additional information. Our primary leases relate to the facilities we use in Lake Zurich, IL (USA), Mexico, Germany and the UK. We also have ancillary leases for items ranging from forklifts to printers. The majority of our leases are classified as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related operating lease liabilities. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and related liabilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at the commencement date for leases that exceed 12 months. The expected lease term includes options to renew when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in the cost of sales or sales, general and administrative expense areas. Finance leases are amortized on a straight-line basis and included in similar areas of expense classification. Variable lease payments, non-lease component payments, and short-term rentals (leases less than 12 months in duration) are expensed as incurred.
Summary of Subsequent Events
In July of 2019 management and the Board engaged in a review of the Company’s international subsidiaries 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 all international subsidiaries. The Company divested its United Kingdom subsidiary in the fourth quarter 2019 and expects to divest its European (German) subsidiary in the first half of 2020. The operations of these entities will be presented as discontinued operations in the third quarter 2019, the period in which they met the accounting criteria for discontinued operations. These actions are being taken to focus our resources and efforts on our core business activities, particularly foil balloons and ancillary products based in the United States. 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had revenue of $2.2 million associated with products which utilized the Ziploc® trademark. Our exit of the Ziploc® product line is considered a strategic shift and will have a major effect on our operations and financial results on a go forward basis. However, as we continued to utilize the Ziploc® related assets in 2020, those assets will not be considered abandoned until they cease to be used at the end of the first quarter of 2020. Therefore, our Ziploc® operations cannot be classified as discontinued operations in these financial statements but will be presented as discontinued operations when all of the applicable accounting criteria are met. We have also dramatically changed our capital structure. On January 3, 2020 we entered into a securities purchase agreement, as amended on February 24, 2020 and April 13, 2020, (the “LF Purchase Agreement”) with LF International Pte., a Singapore private limited company (the “LF International”), which is controlled by Company director Mr. Yubao Li, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and LF International agreed to purchase, up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A Convertible 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 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the “LF International Offering”). As a result of the LF International Offering, a change of control of the Company may occur. As permitted by the LF 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 per share to additional investors (the “Additional Shares Offering,” and collectively with the LF International Offering, the “Offering”). On January 13, 2020, the Company conducted its first closing of the LF International Offering, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000. Pursuant to the LF Purchase Agreement, LF International received the right to nominate and elect one member to the Company’s board of directors (subject to certain adjustments), effective as of the first closing, as well as a second director by the earlier of (i) the Company’s upcoming 2020 annual meeting of shareholders and (ii) May 15, 2020 and a third director by the Company’s upcoming 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. Pursuant to LF International’s nomination, effective January 13, 2020, the Board appointed Mr. Yubao Li as a director of the Company. Additionally, pursuant to the LF Purchase Agreement, on March 12, 2020, the Company changed its name to Yunhong CTI Ltd. To date, the Company has sold 492,660 shares of Series A Preferred to LF International and other accredited investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,926,600. Additionally, on April 1, 2020, an investor converted an accounts receivable of $482,000 owed to the investor by the Company in exchange for 48,200 shares of Series A Preferred.

Foil Balloons. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenues from the sale of foil balloons decreased by 24% and 20%, respectively compared to the prior year period, from $6,508,000 and $14,274,000 during 2018, respectively, to $4,927,000 and $11,408,000 during 2019. Sales to our largest balloon customer decreased from $8,110,000 during the first six months of 2018 to $6,630,000 during the first six months of 2019. As we and others in the industry have reported, the commercial supply of helium has been limited and pricing has increased, while availability has been reduced. We expect the helium market to improve during the next few months, but it remains a negative factor in the sale of helium-based products such as many foil balloons.
Latex Balloons. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenues from the sale of latex balloons decreased by 15% and 11%, respectively compared to the prior year period, from $2,333,000 and $4,482,000 during 2018, respectively, to $1.983,000 and $3,970,000 during 2019.
Vacuum Sealing Products. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenues from the sale of vacuum sealing products increased by 2% and 18%, respectively compared to the prior year period, from $1,865,000 and $3,453,000 during 2018, respectively, to $1,912,000 and $4,064,000 during 2019. The new, smaller format machine introduced late during 2018 has sold well, and customers have largely accepted the cost pass-throughs related to tariffs.
Films. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenues from the sale of commercial films decreased by 22% and increased 18%, respectively, compared to the prior year period, from $609,000 and $1,047,000 during 2018, respectively, to $478,000 and $1,239,000 during 2019.
Other Revenues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenues from the sale of other products decreased by 33% and 36%, respectively compared to the prior year period, from $4,670,000 and $6,708,000 during 2018, respectively, to $3,107,000 and $4,262,000 during 2019. The revenues from the sale of other products during the first six months of 2019 include (i) sales of a line of “Candy Blossoms” and similar products consisting of candy and small inflated balloons sold in small containers in the amount of $2,217,000, (ii) the sale of accessories and supply items related to balloon products, (iii) sales by Clever Container Company, L.L.C. which engages in the direct sale of container and organizing products through a network of independent distributors in the amount of $263,000 and (iv) sales of party goods in Mexico by Flexo Universal in the amount of $718,000. Clever Container changed its business model to one of both lower costs and revenues compared to its prior business model, reducing the revenues shown in Other Revenues.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 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 June 30, 2019 were $4,179,000 or 34%, and $2,769,000 or 22%, of consolidated net sales, respectively. Sales to these customers for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $4,871,000 or 30%, and $3,660,000 or 23%, of consolidated net sales, respectively. The amounts owed at June 30, 2019 by these customers were $2,488,000 or 30%, and $1,044,000 or 12%, of the Company’s consolidated net accounts receivable, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the total amounts owed to the Company by these customers were $4.808,000 or 57%, and $1,524,000 or 18% of the Company’s consolidated net accounts receivable, respectively.
Cost of Sales. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, the cost of sales was $11,122,000 and $21,662,000, respectively, compared to $12,189,000 and $23,300,000 for the same periods ended June 30, 2018. The reduction in cost of sales was largely due to lower sales volume, net of related inefficiencies.
General and Administrative. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses were $1,625,000 and $3,472,000, respectively, as compared to $1,680,000 and $3,565,000 for the same periods in 2018. A one-time fee associated with the forbearance agreement in the amount of $250,000 was included in the first three months of 2019 general and administrative expenses.
Selling, Advertising and Marketing. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, selling, advertising and marketing expenses were $593,000 and $1,204,000, respectively, as compared to $1,290,000 and $2,446,000, respectively for the same periods in 2018. This reduction was primarily due to the full year benefit of cost reduction programs implemented during 2018.
Other Operating Expense. During the three and six months ending June 2019, we recognized a $258,000 and $1,512,000, respectively, impairment charge on our long-lived assets in anticipation of deconsolidating Clever Container and future liquidation of our two European sales companies during 2019.
Other Income (Expense). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred interest expense of $516,000 and $1,063,000, respectively, as compared to interest expense during the same periods of 2018 of $551,000 and $1,115,000.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a foreign currency transaction gains of $61,000 and $297,000, respectively, as compared to foreign currency transaction losses of $775,000 and $342,000 during the same periods of 2018.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow Items.
Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by operations was $3,198,000, compared to net cash used by operations during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $167,000.
Significant changes in working capital items during the six months ended June 30, 2019 included:
● |
A decrease in accounts receivable of $2,162,000 compared to an increase in accounts receivable of $671,000 in the same period of 2018. |
● |
An increase in inventory of $475,000 compared to an increase in inventory of $484,000 in 2018. |
● |
An increase in trade payables of $1,998,000 compared to an increase in trade payables of $801,000 in 2018. |
● |
A decrease in accrued liabilities of $594,000 compared to a decrease in accrued liabilities of $286,000 in 2018. |
Investing Activity. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in investing activity was $73,000, compared to cash used in investing activity for the same period of 2018 in the amount of $18,000.
Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in financing activities was $3,726,000 compared to cash provided by financing activities for the same period of 2018 in the amount of $426,000. Financing activity consisted principally of changes in the balances of revolving and long-term debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
At June 30, 2019, the Company had cash balances of $178,000 compared to cash balances of $453,000 for the same period of 2018.
Also, at June 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital balance of $608,000 compared to a working capital balance of $2,802,000 on December 31, 2018.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with its credit facility, operating under a forbearance agreement. For this reason, $3 million of long-term debt was reclassified as current debt as of June 30, 2019. Failure to ultimately regain compliance with the terms of our credit agreement, or enter into a suitable replacement financing vehicle, could negatively impact our ability to carry on our business up to and including our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, we have encountered difficulties with seasonal cash flow needs, including increased costs associated with recruiting and retaining workers in the Chicago area. The failure to either regain compliance with the terms of our credit facility or properly manage seasonal cash needs could put a strain on the Company, up to and including our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 2 for additional discussion.
Seasonality
In the foil balloon product line, sales have historically been seasonal with approximately 40% occurring in the period from December through March of the succeeding year and 24% being generated in the period July through October in recent years. Vacuum sealing product sales are also seasonal; approximately 60% of sales in this product line occur in the period from July through December.
Critical Accounting Policies
Please see pages 24-27 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a description of policies that are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Except for the adoption of ASC Topic 842 (Leases) as described herein, no material changes to such information have occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Restatement
On May 8, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded, based on the recommendation of management, that we would amend and restate our quarterly consolidated financial statements for this interim period ended June 30, 2019, within this Form 10Q/A to correct the following errors:
• |
Previously, the Company had no external auditor engaged. As noted in the original filing, these filing are being amended now that the Company has hired RBSM as external independent auditors, with the benefit of auditor review, and |
• |
To correct the timing of recognition of certain noncash charges with respect to the anticipated liquidation of subsidiaries and resulting classifications as they impact goodwill, deferred tax assets and related tax provisions, and reporting discontinued operations. |
The following additional adjustments were also included in this restatement:
• |
To reclassify certain accrued expenses between liabilities and contra assets, particularly with respect to accruals for uncollectible accounts receivable, and |
• |
Other miscellaneous adjustments, none of which were material either individually or in the aggregate. |
(b) 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"), 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'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'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, 2019. 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, 2019, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A due to the material weaknesses described below.
(c) 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, 2019. In making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("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'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 Chief Financial Officer and Controller within an environment that is highly manual in nature. |
These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of the financial statements described in Item 4(a) and material post closing adjustments which have been reflected in the financial statements for the interim periods for the year ended June 30, 2019. Additionally, 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, 2019.
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.

Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block] | Note 12 - Leases We adopted ASC Topic 842 (Leases) on January 1, 2019. This standard requires us to record certain operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on our balance sheet. Results for periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 840. We elected the package of practical expedients available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of whether contracts are (or contain) leases, as well as lease classification tests and treatment of initial direct costs. We also elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all fixed payments, and we exclude variable lease payments in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease obligations.Upon adoption of ASC 842 we recorded a $2.8 million increase in other assets, a $1.1 million increase in current liabilities, and a $1.7 million increase in non-current liabilities. We did not record any cumulative effect adjustments in opening retained earnings, and adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Most of our operating leases do not provide an implicit rate of interest so we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. We lease various assets in the course of ordinary business including: warehouses and manufacturing facilities, as well as vehicles and equipment used in our operations. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and related improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a reasonably certain expected transfer or title or purchase option. Some lease agreements include renewal options at our sole discretion. Any guaranteed residual value is included in our lease liability. The amortizable lives of operating and financing leased assets are limited by the expected lease term. The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating and financing lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralize basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. The Company used incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for leases that commenced prior to that date.The table below describes our lease position as of June 30, 2019:
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded expenses related to
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded expenses related to
Operating lease expense were approximately $379,000 for the three months and $758,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Operating lease costs are included within selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not have any finance leases. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were approximately $361,000 for the three months and $722,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation; Changes in EquityThe Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on their grant-date fair values.The Company has applied the Black-Scholes model to value stock-based awards and issued warrants related to notes payable. 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 our common stock. The risk-free rate of interest is the related U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods within the expected term of the option at the time of grant. The dividend yield on our common stock is estimated to be 0%, not issue dividends during 2019 and 2018. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.The Company’s net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 includes approximately $23,000 and $44,000, respectively, in 2019 and $52,000 and $172,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to share based payments. As of June 30, 2019, there was $140,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option grants and stock grants. We expect approximately $40,000 of additional stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the remainder of 2019, and $56,000 to be recognized during 2020. On April 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved for adoption, and on June 5, 2009, the shareholders of the Corporation approved, a 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan and subsequent awards categorized as inducement of employment authorized the issuance of up to 510,000 shares of stock or options to purchase stock of the Company (including cancelled shares reissued under the plan.) On June 8, 2018, our shareholders approved the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of our common stock in the form of equity-based awards. Because no registration on Form S-8 was filed for these additional shares within 12 months of approval by our shareholders, those additional shares are not available for issuance in the normal course. As of June 30, 2019, options for 471,144 shares remain outstanding.A summary of the Company’s stock option activity, which includes grants of restricted stock, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, warrants and related information, is as follows:
The instruments above have an aggregate intrinsic value of $80,000, which represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all the holders exercised their options on June 30, 2019. As described in Note 5, we issued 20,000 shares of common stock to Gary Page in a legal settlement during January 2019. The value of those shares on the date of issuance was approximately $67,000. We issued 100,000 shares of common stock to a longtime sales representative during May 2019, which, at then market value, was in lieu of approximately $303,000 of earned cash compensation.On January 11, 2019, the Company and its Chairman, Mr. John Schwan, completed an exchange debt for equity upon receipt of consent for the transaction from the Company’s lender. Mr. Schwan surrendered $600,000 in notes from the Company in exchange for 180,723 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value was set at the $3.32 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ stock market on December 20, 2018. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The accompanying condensed (a) consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, 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 -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 and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. 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, 2018. |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Principles of consolidation and nature of operations: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yunhong CTI Ltd. (formerly CTI Industries Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CTI Balloons Limited and CTI Supply, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, Flexo Universal, S. de R.L. de C.V. and CTI Europe gmbH, as well as the accounts of Venture Leasing S. A. de R. L., Venture Leasing L.L.C and Clever Container Company, L.L.C. (the “Company”). The last three entities have been consolidated as variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company (i) designs, manufactures and distributes balloon and related novelty (candy and party related) products throughout the world, (ii) operates 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, and (iii) distributes vacuum sealing products and home organization products in the United States. We have announced our intention to divest our interest in Clever Container and deconsolidate that entity from our group. As we are still the entity most closely associated with Clever Container in our related party group as of June 30, 2019, it remains consolidated as a variable interest entity. |
Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”): 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. There are three entities that have been consolidated as variable interest entities. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of estimates: In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include reserves for doubtful accounts, reserves for the lower of cost or market of inventory, reserves for deferred tax assets and recovery value of goodwill. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Earnings per share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income 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, 2019 and 2018, shares to be issued upon the exercise of options and warrants aggregated 471,144 three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were none , as doing so would have been anti-dilutive. |
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] | Significant Accounting 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, 2018. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019, except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842 (Leases). The adoption of this standard significantly increased our assets and liabilities and further discussed in Note 12. ASC 842 requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities related to leases with terms in excess of 12 months. Such assets are typically considered Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) assets. Prior information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 (Revenue From Contracts With Customers) using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, as our revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods at a fixed price.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. |
Auditor Replacement Process [Policy Text Block] | Auditor Replacement Process: During April 2019, our independent registered accounting firm, Plante & Moran PLLC, declined to stand for reappointment as auditor. As of January 3 rd , 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31 st , 2019. Previously, the quarterly report on Form 10 -Q was prepared without the benefit of auditor review. This Form 10 -Q/A is filed with review from RBSM. |
Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block] | Prior Period Reclassification Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation and had no effect on prior period net loss or stockholders’ equity. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016 -02 Leases (Topic 842 ), also referred to as “ASC 842” or “New Lease Standard”, which supersedes ASC 840 Leases (Topic 840 ), and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The FASB has continued to clarify this guidance through the issuance of additional ASUs. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less may be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. ASC 842 was effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2019. We reported our financial information for fiscal years ending before December 31, 2018 under the Topic 840 lease accounting standard. The Company applied the modified retrospective transition method and elected the transition option to use the effective date of January 1, 2019 as the date of initial application. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the transition adjustment as of the effective date and will not provide any new lease disclosures for periods before the effective date. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and did not elect the use of the hindsight practical expedient. As a result, the Company will, in effect, continue to account for existing leases as classified in accordance with ASC 840 , throughout the entire lease term, including periods after the effective date, with the exception that the Company will apply the new balance sheet recognition guidance for operating leases and apply ASC 842 for remeasurements and modifications after the transition date. Other key practical expedients elected by the Company (as a lessee) relate to maintaining leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet; not separating lease and non-lease components and the use of the portfolio approach to determine the incremental borrowing rate. For transition purposes, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate based on the total lease term and total minimum rental payments. The Company completed its identification of leases which comprised two building leases and two equipment leases. Further, the Company analyzed service contracts and parts assembly arrangements from suppliers and did not identify any material leases of production equipment. On the date of initial application, the Company recognized right-of-use ("ROU") assets and leasing liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets of approximately $2.8 no significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
