Notes to Financial Statements
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	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 months ended March 31, 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 March 31 st , 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 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 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. 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

- 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

-Q and Article

of Regulation S-

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, 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

-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

March 31

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

March 31, 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

March 31, 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

of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended

December 31, 2018.

There were

significant changes to these accounting policies during the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019,

except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic

842,

Leases.

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

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.

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 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.

Previously, the quarterly report on Form

-Q was prepared without the benefit of auditor review. This Form

-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

effect on prior period net loss or stockholders’ equity.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

February

2016,

the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU

No.

2016

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.

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
