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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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
June 30, 2026, the company had $4.6 million outstanding on the revolving facility and $0.45 million on the term loan, with $2.4 million
of remaining borrowing capacity.
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.

Net
Sales: Net sales for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were approximately $3,900,000 and $5,457,000,
respectively, representing a decrease of $1,557,000 or 29% quarter-over-quarter. The decrease is primarily attributable to the
timing of sales, as a greater portion of the Company’s spring products were shipped during the first quarter of 2026 rather
than the second quarter of 2026. In addition, lower foil balloon volumes from a significant mass retail customer,
which adjusted its replenishment practices beginning in the second half of 2025, affected sales for both the three- and six-months
periods.
For
the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net sales by product category were as follows:

Foil
Balloons . Revenues from the sale of foil balloons decreased during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 to $2,618,000 compared
to $3,012,000 during the same period of 2025. The decrease is related to the timing of order and shipments.
Revenues
from the sale of foil balloons decreased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 to $6,105,000 compared to $7,245,000 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 were $208,000 and $247,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, compared
to $350,000 and $777,000 during the same periods of 2025. Sales in this area have been inconsistent due to a small number of customers
and a significant number of competitors.
Other
Revenues : Revenues from the sale of other products were $1,074,000 and $3,702,000 during the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2026 compared to $2,095,000 and $2,237,000 during the same periods of 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. The main reason for the fluctuation of the sales is due to timing of Valentine’s
Day related shipments, which occurred in December 2024 compared to Q1 2025 for the following year.
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 month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were two customers whose purchases represented more than 10% of the Company’s
consolidated net sales. Sales to these customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

As
of June 30, 2026, the total amounts owed to the Company by these customers were approximately $3,195,000 or 97% of the
Company’s consolidated accounts receivable. The amounts owed at June 30, 2025 by these customers were $3,484,000 or 89% of the
Company’s consolidated accounts receivable. This concentration also affects the Company’s liquidity: eligible
accounts receivable from these customers constitute a substantial portion of the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility,
and the loss of, or significant payment delays by, either customer would reduce availability thereunder.
Cost
of Sales . During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, the cost of sales was $3,362,000 and $8,502,000 compared to
$4,479,000 and $8,415,000 respectively for the same periods of 2025, with the change driven largely by changes in sales volume. As a
percentage of sales, cost of sales was 86% and 85% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 82% during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cost of sales is attributed to increased purchase costs due to inflationary
trends in the US market.
General
and Administrative . During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $675,000
and $1,598,000 as compared to $754,000 and $1,593,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2025.
Selling,
Advertising and Marketing : During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, selling, advertising and marketing expenses
were $183,000 and $373,000 as compared to $205,000 and $410,000, respectively, for the same period in 2025. Selling, advertising and
marketing costs have decreased by $22,000 and $37,000.
Other
Income (Expense) : During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred interest expense of $225,000 and

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 raising additional capital, including through a potential registered offering of equity securities, as well as borrowings, continuing to focus on 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 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. Although the Company remained in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30,
2026, management concluded that substantial doubt exists because anticipated operating cash flows and liquidity remain dependent upon
obtaining additional financing or achieving sustained profitability.
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,

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There have been no material changes to these policies
since December 31, 2025.
