<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In July, 2012, we entered into a Note and Warrant Agreement
with BMO Private Equity (U.S.) (&ldquo;BMO Equity&rdquo;) pursuant to which (i) BMO Equity loaned to the Company the sum of $5
million and (ii) the Company issued to BMO Equity a warrant to purchase 140,048 shares of common stock of the Company at the price
of One Cent ($0.01) per share. Interest is payable on the loan at the rate of 11.5% per annum. The term of the loan is for a period
of 5 and a half years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We utilized the proceeds of the loan principally for the development
and marketing of the Ziploc&reg; Brand Vacuum Sealer System, including investment in tooling, design, infrastructure, personnel,
facilities, promotional expenses and activities, marketing and sales.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The interest costs (including amortization of the debt discount
associated with the BMO Equity loan) and development costs associated with the vacuum sealing system line have been significant.
In 2013, we had interest expense of $1,462,000 compared to income from operations of $2,090,000. In 2013, our operating expenses
were $10,523,000 compared to $9,848,000 in 2012, an increase of $675,000, much of it related to the investment in the vacuum sealing
system line.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We believe that our sales of the vacuum sealing system line
will continue to grow at a faster rate than the increase in our operating expenses. We plan to use a portion of the proceeds of
this offering to repay all or a portion of the BMO Equity Loan, thereby reducing the amount of interest cost we will incur. Further,
we are working to control, and in some cases reduce, our operating costs in the second half of 2014.</P>

adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that
factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial

of cash otherwise used by operations and the availability of debt financing on terms advantageous to us. Accordingly, our management

for future issuance without our shareholders&rsquo; approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate
purposes, including, but not limited to, future public or direct offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions
and employee incentive plans. The issuance of such shares may also be used to deter a potential takeover of CTI that may otherwise
be beneficial to shareholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a shareholder that will vote
in accordance with the desires of the Board. A takeover may be beneficial to shareholders because, among other reasons, a potential
suitor may offer shareholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price. The existence of
authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of preferred stock may enable the Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current
management which would render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a proxy contest,
tender offer, merger or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our Company&rsquo;s management.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As permitted by the Illinois Business Corporation Act or BCA,
CTI Industries Corporation or CTI, has included in its Articles of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the personal liability
for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (1) for any breach
of the director&rsquo;s duty of loyalty to CTI or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect to certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions
or repurchases, as provided in Section 5/8.75 of the BCA or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of CTI and its stockholders (through stockholders&rsquo;
derivative suits on behalf of CTI) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a
director except in the situation in (1) through (iv) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of CTI or any
stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of the director&rsquo;s duty
of care. These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of CTI provide
that CTI is required and permitted to indemnify its officers and directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances. In
addition, if permitted by law, CTI is required to advance expenses to its officers and directors as incurred in connection with
proceedings against them in their capacity as a director or officer for which they may be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled
to indemnification. At present CTI is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer,
employee or agent of CTI in which indemnification would be required or permitted.</P>

relates to the offer and sale of up to 700,000 shares (the &ldquo;Firm Shares&rdquo;) of the Company&rsquo;s common stock, no
par value per share (the &ldquo;Common Stock&rdquo;), of which up to 700,000 shares will be offered and sold by you (the &ldquo;Company
Firm Shares&rdquo;).</P>

other things, our examination of such documents, records of the Company and certificates of public officials as we deemed necessary
for purposes of the opinions expressed below. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals and all signatures, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof,

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions
