Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared and, in the opinion of management, contain all material adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim consolidated financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. 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, 2025, filed on March 23, 2026, which can be found on the Company’s website (www.ctiindustries.com) or www.sec.gov . The financial information presented in these financial statements has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000), which is in accordance with our policy to simplify the presentation. The financial information is not presented in thousand-dollar increments. All of the Company’s historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock, outstanding share based awards and warrants exercisable for common stock in these financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split approved by the Company’s shareholders on August 22, 2025 and effective October 1, 2025. Principles of consolidation and nature of operations : Yunhong Green CTI Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiary Yunhong Technology Industry (Hubei) Co., Ltd., and its inactive subsidiary CTI Supply, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) (i) design, manufacture and distribute metalized balloon products throughout the world, (ii) distribute purchased latex balloons products, and (iii) operate systems for the production, lamination, coating and printing of films used for food packaging and other commercial uses and for conversion of films to flexible packaging containers and other products. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yunhong Green CTI Ltd., CTI Supply, Inc., and Yunhong Technology Industry (Hubei) Co., Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 2 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Use of estimates : In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include recoverability and impairment of long-lived assets, valuation allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Segments : The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment, both in terms of geography and operations. All manufacturing occurs in the United States. Due to the single reportable segment, this financial information is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). There are no significant segment expenses reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), which is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM regularly reviews financial information presented and does not evaluate the Company’s operating segment using asset or liability information. Instead, the CODM uses revenue, gross margin, and net income or loss to allocate operating and capital resources and assess performance by comparing actual results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information. 5 Table of Contents Earnings per share : Basic (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and equivalents (stock options and warrants), unless anti-dilutive, during each period. In periods for which there is a net loss, diluted loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share, since the effect of including any common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. For both March 31, 2026 and 2025, shares to be issued upon the exercise of warrants aggregated 55,600 . No options were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The number of shares included in the determination of earnings on a diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were none, as doing so would have been anti-dilutive. Revenue recognition : Net sales include revenues from sales of products and shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for product returns. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transferred products. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when we transfer the promised products to the customer and the customer obtains control over the products. The Company recognizes revenue for shipping and handling charges at the time the goods are shipped to the customer, and the costs of outbound freight are included in cost of sales, as we have elected the practical expedient included in ASC 606. The Company provides for product returns based on historical return rates. While we incur costs for sales commissions to our sales employees and outside agents, we recognize commission costs concurrent with the related revenue, as the amortization period is less than one year and we have elected the practical expedient included in ASC 606. We do not incur incremental costs to obtain contracts with our customers. Our product warranties are assurance-type warranties, which promise the customer that the products are as specified in the contract. Therefore, the product warranties are not a separate performance obligation and are accounted for as described herein. Sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are excluded from net sales. Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a cumulative net loss from inception to March 31, 2026 of approximately $ 29 million. The accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s cash resources from operations may be insufficient to meet its anticipated needs during the next twelve months. If the Company does not execute its plan, it may require additional financing to fund its future planned operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company having adequate capital to fund its operating plan and performance. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern may include raising additional capital through sales of equity securities and borrowing, continuing to focus our Company attaining profitable operations, and exploring alternative funding sources on an as needed basis. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures and tariffs have impacted on the Company’s business operations to some extent and is expected to continue to do so and these impacts may include reduced access to capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern may be dependent upon its ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have traditionally been comprised of cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under a Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement with Line Financial, as most recently amended in September 2025, includes a revolving credit facility for up to $ 7 million and a term loan of $ 0.7 million, all supported by the majority of our assets. This Agreement was extended during September 2025, to mature April 30, 2027, under substantially similar terms. 6 Table of Contents Note 3 – Debt Senior Facilities 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 $ 7 million, as amended (the “Maximum Revolver Amount”), subject to borrowing base provisions, and term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $ 731,250 (“Term Loan Amount” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Facilities”). The Senior Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The Company has remained in compliance with all material covenants since inception. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the prime rate + 7.82 % ( 14.57 % as of March 31, 2026), payable monthly in arrears. The Term Loan Facility bears interest at the prime rate + 1.45 % ( 8.2 % as of March 31, 2026) and is repaid in 48 monthly installments of approximately $ 15,000 , beginning November 1, 2021. The Company also pays collateral monitoring fees of 4.62 % of the eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment supporting both facilities. Originally maturing September 30, 2023, the Senior Facilities were extended to April 30, 2027 pursuant to a Fifth Amendment executed on September 30, 2025, which also increased the revolving commitment from $ 6.0 million to $ 7.0 million and added a 0.75 % renewal fee, payable in two equal installments in October 2025 and September 2026. A $ 12,500 commitment fee was also incurred. All other material terms, including borrowing base, collateral, and covenants, remained unchanged. The facility automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of termination not less than 90 days prior to the end of the then-current term. The Company may prepay the Term Loan Facility (together with accrued interest and any applicable prepayment fee) in whole, but not in part, upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain minimum tangible net worth of $ 4.0 million, subject to adjustment by the Lender. The Company was in compliance with this covenant as of March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Agreement also limits additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, mergers, and annual capital expenditures exceeding $ 1.0 million. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the term loan balance was approximately $ 0.5 and $ 0.5 million, respectively, and the revolving balance was $ 6.7 million and $ 6.8 million, respectively. There was $ 0.3 million remaining available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2026. Notes payable, Related Party The Company is party to a note payable to John H. Schwan, Director and former Chairman of the Board, for an initial amount of $ 1.3 million as of December 31, 2023 and an interest rate of 6 %. The Company repaid $ 1 million to Mr. Schwan during January 2024. The parties agreed to the payment of the remaining $ 0.3 million at a future date to be determined. This related party note payable is subordinate to the Senior Facilities. 7 Table of Contents Note 4 - Shareholders’ Equity Series E Convertible Preferred Stock The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorized the issuance of 130,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”). The Series E Preferred can be converted to common stock based on meeting certain conditions set forth in the document at ten (10) shares of the company’s common stock, no par value .

Accrued dividends of $ 125,000 and $ 110,000 were recorded as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and provides an allowance for potential credit losses against the portion of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses have historically been within management’s expectations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were two customers whose purchases represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes both historical and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities law. All such statements are qualified by this cautionary note, which is provided pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. 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 on Form 10-Q to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or expectations. These forward-looking statements are affected by factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we make, including, without limitation, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the heading “Risk Factors.” 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. The Company purchases latex balloons from an unrelated vendor and distributes in the United States, particularly to those customers that prefer a combined solution for foil and latex balloons. Substantially all our film products for packaging and custom product applications are sold to customers in the United States. We market and sell our novelty items, Balloon inspired gifts (balloons and candy arranged to look like a flower bouquet for gifting) and flexible containers for consumer use primarily in the United States. The Company incorporated “Green” into the Company name to communicate our intention to supply biodegradable and compostable materials to the marketplace that are developed by our partners in Asia. We created a new subsidiary, in part, for this purpose. In recent periods, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on certain goods imported from countries including China. Existing and future trade tariffs, import duties and quotas could also materially increase our costs of procuring the materials we use and disrupt the markets for the products we handle, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Senior Credit Facilities As of March 31, 2026 , the Company maintained senior secured credit facilities with Line Financial, consisting of a $7.0 million revolving credit facility and a $0.7 million term loan. The facilities are secured by substantially all Company assets. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the prime rate + 7.82% (14.57% as of March 31, 2026 while the term loan bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.45% and is repaid in monthly installments of approximately $15,000. The facilities include standard financial and operational covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $4.0 million, with which the Company was in compliance as of March 31, 2026. In September 2025, the Company executed a Fifth Amendment extending maturity to April 30, 2027, and increasing the revolving commitment from $6.0 million to $7.0 million. The amendment also introduced a 0.75% renewal fee payable in two equal installments (October 2025 and September 2026) and a $12,500 commitment fee associated with the expanded facility. At March 31, 2026, the company had $6.7 million outstanding on the revolving facility and $0.5 million on the term loan, with $0.3 million of remaining borrowing capacity. 11 Table of Contents Note Payable, Related Party The Company also has a subordinated note payable to Director and former Chairman John H. Schwan bearing 6% interest, with a balance of $0.3 million remaining after a $1.0 million repayment in January 2024. Results of Operations Net Sales: Net sales for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were approximately $6.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, representing an increase of $1.4 million, or 28% year-over-year. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net sales by product category were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025 Product Category $ (000) Omitted % of Net Sales $ (000) Omitted % of Net Sales Variance % change Foil Balloons $ 3,487 57 % $ 4,234 88 % $ (747 ) -18 % Film Products 39 0 % 427 9 % (388 ) -91 % Other 2,628 43 % 141 3 % 2,487 1764 % Total $ 6,154 100 % $ 4,802 100 % $ 1,352 28 % Foil Balloons . Revenues from the sale of foil balloons decreased during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 to $3,487,000 compared to $4,234,000 during the same period of 2025. The decrease is related to the timing of orders and shipments. In the second half of 2025 one of our large mass retail customers made some adjustments to their replenishment system due to a surplus in their supply chain. Films . Revenues from the sale of commercial films decreased during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 to $39,000 compared to $427,000 during the same period of 2025. Sales in this area have been inconsistent due to a small number of customers and a significant number of competitors. Other Revenues : Other revenues increased to $2,628,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $141,000 for the same period in 2025. The primary reason for the increase was the timing of spring product shipments, which occurred in first quarter of 2026 rather than the second quarter in 2025. Other revenues during these periods primarily consisted of: (i) sales of balloon-inspired gift products, including candy and small inflated balloons packaged in small containers; and (ii) sales of accessories and supply items related to balloon products. 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 March 31, 2026 and 2025. Three Months Ended March 31, % of Sales 2026 2025 Top 3 Customers 90 % 81 % Top 10 Customers 95 % 93 % 12 Table of Contents During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, there were two customers whose purchases represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. Sales to these customers for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 were $2,378,000 and $2,969,000 or 39% and 48 %, respectively of consolidated net sales. Sales to these customers for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $3,091,000 and $523,000, or 64% and 11%, respectively of consolidated net sales. As of March 31, 2026, the total amount owed to the Company by these customers was approximately $6,056,000, or 99% of the Company’s consolidated net accounts receivable. Cost of Sales . During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the cost of sales was $5,138,000, compared to $3,936,000 for the same period of 2025. The gross margin for March 31, 2026 is 17% compared to 18% for the same period of 2025, the decrease in gross margin is related to increase in component prices and raw materials due to escalating fuel prices. General and Administrative . During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $924,000 as compared to $839,000 for the same period in 2025. The largest increase is attributed to increase in audit fee of $65k and increases in variable rent expenses. Selling, Advertising and Marketing . During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, selling, advertising and marketing expenses were $190,000 as compared to $205,000 for the same period in 2025. Other Income (Expense) . During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred interest expense of $242,000 as compared to interest expense of $237,000 during the same period of 2025. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash Flow Items. Operating Activities . During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by operations was $236,000, compared to net cash provided in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $970,000. Significant changes in working capital items during the three months ended March 31, 2026 included: ● An increase in accounts receivable of $154,000 compared to a decrease in accounts receivable of $772,000 in the same period of 2025. ● A decrease in inventory of $732,000 compared to an increase in inventory of $175,000 in 2025. ● An increase in trade payables of $105,000 compared to an increase in trade payables of $334,000 in 2025. ● A decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $45,000 compared to a decrease of $63,000 in 2025. ● A decrease in accrued liabilities of $358,000 compared to an increase in accrued liabilities of $220,000 in 2025. Investing Activity .

Financing Activities . During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in financing activities was $128,000 compared to cash used in financing activities for the same period of 2025 in the amount of $998,000. Financing activity during 2026 consisted principally of changes in the balances of revolving and long-term debt. Liquidity and Capital Resources . At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash balances of $178,000 compared to cash balances of $172,000 for the same period of 2025. 13 Table of Contents 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 on achieving profitable operations, and exploring alternative funding sources on an as needed basis. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures and tariffs are expected to impact to some extent our operations and 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. While the Company expects to have access to needed capital at reasonable cost, there can be no assurance of success, and as such, might negatively impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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. Critical Accounting Estimates The critical accounting estimates utilized by the Company in preparation of the accompanying financial statements are set forth in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There have been no material changes to these policies since December 31, 2025. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk Not applicable. 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”), 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), 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 March 31, 2026. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, due to the material weaknesses described below. 14 Table of Contents (b) 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 March 31, 2026. 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 lack a sufficient number of accounting professionals with the necessary knowledge, experience and training to adequately account for the application of new accounting standards as well as significant, unusual transactions particularly with regard to equity financing arrangements and the timing of recognition of certain non-cash charges. Accordingly, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026. Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness The Company believes that the combination of responsibilities held by the Chief Executive Officer and the Corporate Controller strengthens financial oversight, enhances internal control effectiveness, and promotes leadership continuity. As management continues to evaluate and refine our internal control framework, additional steps may be taken to address any remaining deficiencies or to further strengthen and remediation measures already in place. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by its registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report. (c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Item 5.02 - Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors On January 19, 2026, Philip Wong notified the Board of Directors of his resignation as Director, effective immediately, due to personal reasons.

On February 17, 2026, Yubao Li notified the Board of Directors of his resignation as the Chairman and Director, effective immediately, due to personal reasons.
