<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In May 2014, the FASB issued <i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers, Topic 606</i> (ASU No. 2014-09), which provides a framework for the recognition of revenue, with the objective that
recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for goods and services. This guidance,
which includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations related to contracts with customers,
was originally to be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB confirmed a one-year deferral
of the effective date of the new revenue standard which also allows early adoption as of the original effective date. The updated
guidance will be effective for the Company&#8217;s first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements, but currently believes that the timeline established for implementation
is attainable.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, &#8220;<i>Leases</i>.&#8221;
ASU No. 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions
(with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined). ASU No. 2016-02
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier
application permitted. Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively
using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The guidance will be effective for the Company&#8217;s first quarter
of fiscal 2020. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU No. 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, <i>Statement
of Cash Flows, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;ASU 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in
practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayments or extinguishment costs, the
maturing of a zero-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance
settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization.
ASU 2016-15 designates the appropriate cash flow classification, including requirements to allocate certain components of these
cash receipts and payments among operating, investing and financing activities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting ASU 2016-15 on
its consolidated financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, <i>Income
Statement &#8211; Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income</i>, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects
resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard
also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-2, however, does not change the underlying guidance that
requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. ASU 2018-02 will be
effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt at any time prior to the effective date. It
must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S.
federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new accounting
guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.</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">In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118 (as further clarified by FASB ASU 2018-05, <i>Income Taxes</i> (Topic 740): &#8220;Amendments
to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118&#8221;) to provide guidance for companies that may not have
completed their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act in the period of enactment, which is the period that
includes December 22, 2017. SAB No. 118 provides for a provisional one year measurement period for entities to finalize their accounting
for certain income tax effects related to the Tax Reform Act. SAB No. 118 provides guidance where: (i) the accounting for the income
tax effect of the Tax Reform Act is complete and reported in the Tax Reform Act&#8217;s enactment period, (ii) the accounting for
the income tax effect of the Tax Reform Act is incomplete and reported as provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates (to
the extent determinable) subject to adjustments during a limited measurement period until complete, and (iii) accounting for the
income tax effect of the Tax Reform Act is not reasonably estimable (no related provisional amounts are reported in the enactment
period) and entities would continue to apply accounting based on tax law provisions in effect prior to the Tax Reform Act enactment
until provisional amounts are reasonably estimable. SAB No. 118 requires disclosure of the reasons for incomplete accounting additional
information or analysis needed, among other relevant information (see Note 15 - Income Taxes).</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements
issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of

operating results.</p></div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (2018
Annual Meeting) on January 12, 2018. At the 2018 Annual Meeting, a proposal to approve an amendment to the Company&#8217;s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company&#8217;s authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 (Share
Increase Amendment) was approved by the Company&#8217;s stockholders by the required vote. The Share Increase Amendment was filed
with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 16, 2018 and it became effective the same day. In
determining that the Share Increase Amendment was approved by the required vote, votes cast by brokers, banks or other nominees
without instruction from the beneficial owners of certain of our outstanding shares were counted in favor of the proposal in accordance
with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that govern how brokers may cast such votes. Because a disclosure in the definitive
proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting, which was filed on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
on November 27, 2017 (2018 Proxy Statement), anticipated that brokers would not have discretion to vote for the proposal to approve
the Share Increase Amendment, a question has been raised as to the validity of the vote taken on the proposal to approve the Share
Increase Amendment. The Company believes that the Share Increase Amendment was properly approved and is effective. However, because
the description of the authority of brokers to vote on proposals without instruction in the 2018 Proxy Statement may create some
uncertainty as to the effect of the vote obtained at the 2018 Annual Meeting and out of an abundance of caution, the Company intends
to ask its stockholders at either a special meeting or the next annual meeting of the Company&#8217;s stockholders to ratify the
filing and effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment pursuant to Delaware law in order to eliminate any uncertainty related
to the effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment. The Company has not issued, or reserved for issuance, and will not issue,
or reserve for issuance, any of the additional 5,000,000 authorized shares as part of the Share Increase Amendment unless the vote
at the special or annual meeting of the Company&#8217;s stockholders is in favor of the ratification of the Share Increase Amendment.</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 Company has two stock-based compensation plans under which
stock options and other stock-based awards have been granted, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated
2007 Stock Incentive Plan and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.</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 2007 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options,
non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards and stock bonuses
to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities
for equity participation in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&#8217;s
economic objectives. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan, up to a maximum of 800,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s
common stock are issuable under the 2007 Plan. Options granted under the 2007 Plan generally have a term of ten years and become
exercisable over a three- or four-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted at
per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company&#8217;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues
new shares upon the exercise of options. As of February 28, 2018, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the
2007 Plan.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company
available for issuance under the ESPP is 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the ESPP. The ESPP provides for six-month
offering periods beginning on September 1 and March 1 of each year. The purchase price of the shares is 90% of the lower of the
fair market value of common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period. This discount may not exceed the maximum discount
rate permitted for plans of this type under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The ESPP is compensatory
for financial reporting purposes.</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 Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 47,252
and 56,677 shares of its common stock during the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The fair value of option
grants is determined at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company
recognized compensation expense of $206,534 and $195,832 during the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively,
related to the options that vested during such time period. As of February 28, 2018, the total compensation cost for nonvested
options not yet recognized in the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations was $425,669. Stock-based compensation
expense of $206,534 is expected through the remainder of fiscal year 2018, and $153,901 and $65,234 is expected to be recognized
during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020, respectively, based on outstanding options as of February 28, 2018. Future option grants will
impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense
on the consolidated statements of operations.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On August 31, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#8217;s executive officers as well
as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018. For fiscal 2018 as in past years, the total amount
available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&#8217;s earnings
before interest, taxes and other income, as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other
adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant&#8217;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan
participants, the individual&#8217;s annual base salary and the individual&#8217;s position and level of responsibility within
the Company. In the case of each of the Company&#8217;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus
payout will be determined based upon the Company&#8217;s actual EBITOI for fiscal 2018 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI
for fiscal 2018 and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&#8217;s achievement of certain pre-established
individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan are discretionary and may be paid to executive officer
participants in both cash and shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined by
the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&#8217;s
consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2018. There was $880,000 accrued for management bonuses for the six months ended February
28, 2018 compared to $185,000 accrued for management bonuses for the six months ended February 28, 2017.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">From time to time, the Company is subject to various other claims
and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements
for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss
is probable and an amount could be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company
records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than
any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable,
or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss may have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of February
28, 2018, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially
affect the Company&#8217;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</p></div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive
tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or Tax Reform Act. The Tax Reform Act makes broad and complex
changes to the U.S. tax code that will affect the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending August 31 2018, including, but not limited
to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, generally eliminating U.S. federal
income taxes on dividends received from foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures after December 31, 2017, and imposing a one-time
deemed repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures. The Company will be subject
to a blended U.S. federal tax rate of 25.7% for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 as a result of the reduction of the U.S.
federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.</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 Company recognized the income tax effects of the Tax Reform

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company recorded income tax expense during the three and
six months ended February 28, 2018 of $841,909 and $946,900, respectively, compared to $124,909 and $242,622 for the three and
six months ended February 28, 2017. The Company&#8217;s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. Accordingly,
the Company&#8217;s deferred tax assets and liabilities were re-measured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income
tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, resulting in an increase of $700,000 in income tax expense for the three months
ended February 28, 2018 and a corresponding decrease of $700,000 in net deferred tax assets as of February 28, 2018. The $700,000
income tax expense and corresponding decrease in net deferred tax assets represents a provisional estimate based on the Company&#8217;s
current interpretation of the Tax Reform Act and may change as the Company receives additional clarification and implementation
guidance.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The one-time deemed repatriation tax is applicable to the unremitted
earnings of the Company&#8217;s foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures. The Company calculated deemed repatriation tax of $489,000,
which the Company expects to fully offset with foreign tax credit carryforwards for which the Company has not previously recognized
a tax benefit. As a result, the transition tax resulted in zero increase in income tax expense and income taxes payable for the
three months ended February 28, 2018. The $489,000 transition tax on deemed repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings represents
a provisional estimate and is subject to adjustment during the measurement period of up to one year following the December 2017

<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">NTIC develops and markets proprietary environmentally beneficial
products and services in over 60 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors
and agents. NTIC&#8217;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> brand. NTIC
has been selling its proprietary ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical,
military and retail consumer markets for over 40 years, and in recent years, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry.
NTIC also markets and sells a portfolio of biobased and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and
finished products under the Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> brand. These products are intended to reduce NTIC&#8217;s customers&#8217;
carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound waste disposal options.</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">NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> rust and corrosion inhibiting
products include plastic and paper packaging, liquids, coatings, rust removers, cleaners, and diffusers as well as engineered solutions
designed specifically for the oil and gas industry. NTIC also offers worldwide on-site technical consulting for rust and corrosion
prevention issues. NTIC&#8217;s technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup>
rust and corrosion inhibiting products to analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.
In North America, NTIC sells its ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> corrosion prevention solutions through a network of independent distributors
and agents supported by a direct sales force. Internationally, NTIC sells its ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> corrosion prevention solutions
through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), its majority-owned joint venture holding
company for NTIC&#8217;s joint venture investments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, NTI Asean LLC
(NTI Asean) its majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#231;&#227;o de Corros&#227;o S.A. (Zerust Brazil), and
its wholly-owned subsidiary in Mexico, ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V (Zerust Mexico), and joint venture arrangements in
North America, Europe and Asia. NTIC also sells products directly to its joint venture partners through its wholly-owned subsidiary
in Germany, NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe).</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">One of NTIC&#8217;s strategic initiatives is to expand into
and penetrate other markets for its ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> corrosion prevention technologies. Consequently, for the past several
years, NTIC has focused significant sales and marketing efforts on the oil and gas industry, as the infrastructure that supports
that industry is typically constructed using metals that are highly susceptible to corrosion. NTIC believes that its ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup>
corrosion prevention solutions will minimize maintenance downtime on critical oil and gas industry infrastructure, extend the life
of such infrastructure and reduce the risk of environmental pollution due to corrosion leaks.</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">NTIC markets and sells its ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> rust and corrosion
prevention solutions to customers in the oil and gas industry across several countries either directly, through its subsidiaries
or through its joint venture partners and other strategic partners. The sale of ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> corrosion prevention solutions
to customers in the oil and gas industry typically involves long sales cycles, often including multi-year trial periods with each
customer and a slow integration process thereafter.</p>

are manufactured using NTIC&#8217;s patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based
plastics. The Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> biopolymer resin compound portfolio includes formulations that have been optimized for
a variety of applications including blown-film extrusion, extrusion coating, injection molding, and engineered plastics. These
resin compounds are certified to be fully biodegradable in a composting environment and are currently being used to produce finished
products including can liners, shopping and grocery bags, lawn and leaf bags, pet waste collection bags, cutlery and coated paper
products. In North America, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> resin compounds and finished products primarily through
a network of regional and national distributors as well as independent agents. NTIC continues to see significant opportunities
for finished bioplastic products and, therefore, continues to strengthen and expand its North American distribution network for
finished Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> bioplastic products. Internationally, NTIC sells its Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> resin compounds
and finished products both directly and through its majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC participates in 20 active joint venture arrangements in
North America, Europe and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory
to which it is assigned. While most of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some
of the joint ventures also sell NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds. NTIC has historically funded its investments in joint
ventures with cash generated from operations.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s receipt of funds from its joint ventures is dependent
upon fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures, based primarily on the net sales of the individual joint ventures,
and NTIC&#8217;s receipt of dividend distributions from the joint ventures. The fees for services provided to joint ventures are
determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of sales depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to NTIC&#8217;s
joint venture in Germany (EXCOR), NTIC recognizes an agreed upon quarterly fee for such services. NTIC recognizes equity income
from each joint venture based on the overall profitability of the joint venture. Such profitability is subject to variability from
quarter to quarter which, in turn, subjects NTIC&#8217;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. The profits of each joint
venture are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. NTIC typically
directly or indirectly owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture entities and thus does not control the decisions of these
entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in a given year. The payment of a dividend by
an entity is determined by a joint vote of the owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC.</p>

$1,383,139 and $2,657,143 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively. These increases were primarily
due to corresponding increases in net sales at the joint ventures, which increased 31.6% and 24.5% to $30,220,550 and $58,719,261
during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared to 14.1% and 12.3% to $22,962,599 and $47,163,046
during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, as well as a strengthened Euro and other currencies compared
to the U.S. Dollar. These increases in net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures were due primarily to higher sales from existing
customers for new and existing products as a result of increased demand. The increases in net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures
resulted in corresponding increases in fees for services provided to joint ventures as such fees are a function of net sales of
NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s total operating expenses increased 11.2% and 10.1%
to $5,371,598 and $10,990,023 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared to $4,831,047 and
$9,984,433 for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in NTIC&#8217;s
personnel expenses, including an increase in the management bonus accrual of $695,000. Operating expenses, as a percent of net
sales, for the three months ended February 28, 2018 were 44.0%, compared to 55.3% for the same period last fiscal year and for
the six months ended February 28, 2018 were 46.1%, compared to 54.1% for the same period last fiscal year. This reduction was primarily
due to higher net sales and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher selling and research and development
expenses.</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">NTIC spent $922,746 and $1,721,477 during the three and six
months ended February 28, 2018 compared to $742,037 and $1,384,559 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively,
in connection with its research and development activities. NTIC anticipates that it will spend a total of between $3,000,000 and
$3,400,000 in fiscal 2018 on research and development activities.</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">Net income attributable to NTIC increased to $1,332,847, or
$0.29, per diluted common share, for the three months ended February 28, 2018 compared to $386,966, or $0.09, per diluted common
share, for the three months ended February 28, 2017, an increase of $945,881 or $0.20 per diluted share. Net income attributable
to NTIC increased to $2,416,473, or $0.52 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February 28, 2018 compared to $684,605,
or $0.15 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February 28, 2017, an increase of $1,731,868 or $0.37 per diluted share.
These increases were primarily the result of the increases in net sales and corresponding gross profit, as well as the increases
in income from joint venture operations. These increases were partially offset by the significant impact of the $700,000 one-time
provisional adjustment related to the Tax Reform Act, as described in more detail below, and the increase in operating expenses,
as previously described.</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">NTIC anticipates that its quarterly net income or loss will
continue to remain subject to significant volatility primarily due to the financial performance of its subsidiaries and joint ventures
and sales of its ZERUST&#174; products and services into the oil and gas industry and Natur-Tec&#174; bioplastics products, which
sales fluctuate more on a quarterly basis than the traditional ZERUST&#174; business. NTIC also anticipates that its operating results
during the next few quarters will remain volatile primarily as a result of the changes in its Chinese operations.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s working capital, as defined as current assets less
current liabilities, was $22,194,306 at February 28, 2018, including $5,067,087 in cash and cash equivalents and $3,268,426 in
available for sale securities, compared to $21,173,001 at August 31, 2017, including $6,360,201 in cash and cash equivalents and
$3,766,984 in available for sale securities.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On January 24, 2018, NTIC&#8217;s Board of Directors declared
a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of NTIC&#8217;s common stock, paid on February 21, 2018 to stockholders of record
on February 8, 2018. On November 24, 2017, NTIC&#8217;s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share
of NTIC&#8217;s common stock, payable on December 21, 2017 to stockholders of record on December 8, 2017. No cash dividends were
declared by NTIC&#8217;s Board of Directors during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017. Although NTIC&#8217;s Board of Directors
intends to continue to declare regular quarterly cash dividends, the declaration of future dividends is not guaranteed and will
be determined by NTIC&#8217;s Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including NTIC&#8217;s earnings, financial
condition, cash requirements, restrictions in financing agreements, business conditions and other factors.</p>

from the addition of new customers in North America and China and an increase in sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products. Net sales to
joint ventures increased 87.9% and 5.5% to $814,122 and $1,321,753, respectively, during the three and six months ended February

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, 83.4%
and 83.0% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and
services, which increased 41.0% and 28.8% to $10,191,459 and $19,719,196 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018,
respectively, compared to $7,228,027 and $15,312,705 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively. These
increases were due to increased demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers primarily in the industrial market,
partially offset by a decrease in ZERUST<sup>&#174; </sup>joint venture net sales and ZERUST<sup>&#174; </sup>oil and gas net sales.
NTIC has strategically focused its sales efforts for ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and services on customers with sizeable corrosion
problems in industry sectors that offer sizable growth opportunities, including the oil and gas sector. Overall demand for ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup>
products and services depends heavily on the overall health of the market segments to which NTIC sells its products, including
the automotive, oil and gas, agriculture, and mining markets in particular.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s net sales to the oil and gas industry sector during
the three months and six months ended February 28, 2018 compared to the prior fiscal year periods continue to be very volatile
due to the average order size and the timing of sales. NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services into
the oil and gas industry will continue to remain subject to significant volatility from quarter to quarter as sales are recognized,
specifically due to the volatility of oil prices. Demand for oil and gas products around the world depends primarily on market
acceptance and the reach of NTIC&#8217;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size
of NTIC&#8217;s net sales derived from sales of oil and gas products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#8217;s
quarterly sales compared to prior fiscal year quarters.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, 16.6
% and 17.0% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, which increased
33.5% and 28.9% to $2,022,516 and $4,037,817 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared to
the three and six months ended February 28, 2017. These increases were primarily due to an increase in finished product sales in
North America and finished product sales at NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec
India).</p>

and 27.4% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended February
28, 2017. These increases were primarily as a result of the corresponding increased sales levels. Cost of goods sold as a percentage
of net sales decreased to 65.6% during the three months ended February 28, 2018 compared to 67.1% the three months ended February
28, 2017 and decreased to 66.9% during the six months ended February 28, 2018 compared to 67.7% during the six months ended February
28, 2017. These decreases were primarily as a result of increased net sales and cost reductions realized on the raw materials associated
with NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; industrial products.</p>

These increases were primarily a result of improved profitability at the joint ventures. Of the total equity in income from joint
ventures, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $2,580,571 attributable to EXCOR during the six months ended February
28, 2018 compared to $2,006,441 during the six months ended February 28 2017. NTIC had equity in income of all other joint ventures
of $966,754 during the six months ended February 28, 2018 compared to $650,702 during the six months ended February 28, 2017.</p>

fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $1,608,890 and $3,116,032 during the three and six months ended February
28, 2018, respectively, compared to $1,184,028 and $2,499,619 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively,
representing increases of 35.9% and 24.7%, respectively. Fee income for services provided to joint ventures is traditionally a
function of the sales made by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures. Total net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures increased to $30,220,550
and $58,719,261 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared to $22,962,599 and $47,163,046

17.7% and 22.4% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in
fiscal 2017 due primarily to increases in operating expenses associated with ZERUST&#174; sales efforts, consisting primarily of
selling and personnel expense. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 21.6% and 22.1% for the three
and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, from 25.7% and 23.2% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017,
respectively, primarily due to the increase in selling expenses offset by the increase in sales, as previously described.</p>

and administrative expenses decreased 2.0% and 6.7% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared
to the same respective periods in fiscal 2017 primarily due to cost savings initiatives related to personnel costs and decreased
legal expenses. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 14.8% and 16.9% for the three and
six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, from 21.1% and 23.4% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2017, respectively.
The decreases in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three and six-month comparisons were
due primarily to the increase in net sales and decreases in general and administrative expenses, as previously described.</p>

$946,900 for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $124,909 and $242,622
during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively. Income tax expense is calculated based on management&#8217;s
estimate of NTIC&#8217;s annual effective income tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended February 28,
2018 was 37.2% and 26.5%, respectively, compared to 20.5% and 21.3% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively.
These increases were primarily due to one-time provisional adjustments related to the Tax Reform Act. The Tax Reform Act, among
other things, reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, generally eliminated U.S.
federal income taxes on dividends received from foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures after December 31, 2017, and imposed a
one-time deemed repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures. As a result of the
change in the tax law, a one-time non-cash tax provisional charge of $700,000 related to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets
and liabilities was recorded in the three months ended February 28, 2018. The impact of this non-cash tax charge increased NTIC&#8217;s
effective rate by approximately 30.3% for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The $700,000 income tax expense and corresponding
decrease in net deferred tax assets represents a provisional estimate based on NTIC&#8217;s current interpretation of the Tax Reform
Act and may change as NTIC receives additional clarification and implementation guidance. NTIC continues to analyze the impact
of other provisions of the Tax Reform Act on its financial statements and operations, including the impact of the global intangible
low-taxed income (GILTI) rules, and the impact of the Tax Reform Act on NTIC&#8217;s indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect
to the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures. Any additional impacts from the enactment of
the Tax Reform Act will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as provided for in accordance with SAB
No. 118.</p>

or $0.09, per diluted common share, for the three months ended February 28, 2017, an increase of $945,881 or $0.20 per diluted

or $0.37 per diluted share. These increases were primarily the result of the increases in net sales and corresponding gross profit,
as well as the increases in income from joint venture operations. These increases were partially offset by the significant impact
of the $700,000 one-time provisional adjustment related to the Tax Reform Act and the increase in operating expenses. As previously
mentioned, the impact from the enactment of the Tax Reform Act was driven by the provisional re-measurement of deferred tax assets
and liabilities, which resulted in a non-cash discrete tax charge of $700,000. Excluding the impact of the Tax Reform Act, net
income attributable to NTIC would have been $1,645,881 higher than the net income attributable to NTIC for the three months ended

distributions of earnings from joint ventures and fees for services provided to its joint ventures to fund NTIC&#8217;s new technology
investments and capital contributions to new and existing subsidiaries and joint ventures. NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures traditionally
have operated with little or no debt and have been self-financed with minimal initial capital investment and minimal additional
capital investment from their respective owners. Therefore, NTIC believes there is limited exposure by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures

liabilities, partially offset by NTIC&#8217;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, and increases in accounts payable,
depreciation and amortization. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended February 28, 2017 was $823,425,
which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures, increases in trade receivables, inventory, prepaid

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s cash flows from operations are impacted by significant
changes in certain components of NTIC&#8217;s working capital, including inventory turnover and changes in receivables. NTIC considers
internal and external factors when assessing the use of its available working capital, specifically when determining inventory
levels and credit terms of customers. Key internal factors include existing inventory levels, stock reorder points, customer forecasts
and customer requested payment terms, and key external factors include the availability of primary raw materials and sub-contractor
production lead times. NTIC&#8217;s typical contractual terms for trade receivables excluding joint ventures are traditionally
30 days and for trade receivables from its joint ventures are 90 days. Before extending unsecured credit to customers, excluding
NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures, NTIC reviews customers&#8217; credit histories and will establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Accounts receivable over 30 days are
considered past due for most customers. NTIC does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. If accounts receivables
in excess of the provided allowance are determined uncollectible, they are charged to selling expense in the period that determination
is made. Accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible based on NTIC exhausting reasonable efforts to collect. NTIC&#8217;s typical
contractual terms for receivables for services provided to its joint ventures are 90 days. NTIC records receivables for services
provided to its joint ventures on an accrual basis, unless circumstances exist that make the collection of the balance uncertain
in which case the fee income will be recorded on a cash basis until there is consistency in payments. This determination is handled
on a case by case basis.</p>

receivables from joint ventures decreased an average of 8 days from an average of 58 days from balances outstanding from these
customers compared to August 31, 2017. The average days outstanding of trade receivables from joint ventures as of February 28,

forward, the declaration of future dividends is not guaranteed and will be determined by NTIC&#8217;s Board of Directors in light
of conditions then existing, including NTIC&#8217;s earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, restrictions in financing

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC does not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities
or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have
been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet financial arrangements. As such, NTIC is not materially exposed
to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if NTIC had engaged in such arrangements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Inflation in the United States and abroad historically has had
little effect on NTIC. Although NTIC&#8217;s business historically has not been seasonal, NTIC believes there is now some seasonality
in its business. NTIC believes its net sales in second fiscal quarter were adversely affected by the long Chinese New Year, the
North American holiday season and overall less corrosion taking place at lower winter temperatures worldwide.</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">NTIC is exposed to some market risk stemming from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.</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">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#8217;s foreign operations
and investments in its foreign joint ventures is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate
risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&#8217;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro,
the Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, South Korean Won and the English Pound against the U.S. Dollar. NTIC&#8217;s
fees for services provided to joint ventures and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies
and thus fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in NTIC&#8217;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#8217;s
investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would
be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures
reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</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">Some raw materials used in NTIC&#8217;s products are exposed
to commodity price changes. The primary commodity price exposures are with a variety of plastic resins.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">At the option of NTIC, outstanding advances under NTIC&#8217;s
$3,000,000 revolving line of credit with PNC Bank bear interest at either (a) an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.15% for the
applicable LIBOR interest period selected by NTIC or (b) at the rate publicly announced by PNC Bank from time to time as its prime
rate, and thus may subject NTIC to some market risk on interest rates. As of February 28, 2018, NTIC had no borrowings under the
line of credit.</p>

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report or expressed by NTIC orally from time to time

<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">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#8217;s foreign operations
and investments in its foreign joint ventures is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate
risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&#8217;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro,
the Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, South Korean Won and the English Pound against the U.S. Dollar. NTIC&#8217;s
fees for services provided to joint ventures and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies
and thus fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in NTIC&#8217;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#8217;s
investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would
be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures
reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</p>

applicable LIBOR interest period selected by NTIC or (b) at the rate publicly announced by PNC Bank from time to time as its prime
rate, and thus may subject NTIC to some market risk on interest rates. As of February 28, 2018, NTIC had no borrowings under the
line of credit.</p>

Hui, related to breaches of duties and contractual commitments owed to NTI Asean under certain agreements related to NTIC&#8217;s
former joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust Anti-Corrosion Technologies Ltd. (Tianjin Zerust). The lawsuit alleges, among other
things, that Mr. Tao Meng and Xu Hui have engaged in self-dealing, usurped business opportunities, and received economic benefits
that were required to go to Tianjin Zerust. At this point it is too early in the lawsuit to reasonably estimate the amount of any
recovery to NTI Asean, if any.</p>

Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The guidance will be effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; quarter of fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2020.&lt;/div&gt; The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&lt;/div&gt; will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15&lt;/div&gt; eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayments or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;zero&lt;/div&gt;-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017. &lt;/div&gt;Early adoption is permitted.

ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&lt;/div&gt; will be effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s fiscal year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2020,&lt;/div&gt; with the option to early adopt at any time prior to the effective date. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;118&lt;/div&gt; (as further clarified by FASB ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;05,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/div&gt; (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;740&lt;/div&gt;): &amp;#x201c;Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;118&amp;#x201d;&lt;/div&gt;) to provide guidance for companies that &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have completed their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act in the period of enactment, which is the period that includes &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 22, 2017. &lt;/div&gt;SAB &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;118&lt;/div&gt; provides for a provisional &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year measurement period for entities to finalize their accounting for certain income tax effects related to the Tax Reform Act.

As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 28, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the total compensation cost for nonvested options &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; yet recognized in the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$425,669.&lt;/div&gt; Stock-based compensation expense of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$206,534&lt;/div&gt; is expected through the remainder of fiscal year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018,&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$153,901&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$65,234&lt;/div&gt; is expected to be recognized during fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019&lt;/div&gt; and fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2020,&lt;/div&gt; respectively, based on outstanding options as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 28, 2018. &lt;/div&gt;Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and results for the grants:&lt;/div&gt;

As a result, the transition tax resulted in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;zero&lt;/div&gt; increase in income tax expense and income taxes payable for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;three&lt;/div&gt; months ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 28, 2018. &lt;/div&gt;The &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$489,000&lt;/div&gt; transition tax on deemed repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings represents a provisional estimate and is subject to adjustment during the measurement period of up to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year following the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 2017 &lt;/div&gt;enactment date of the Tax Reform Act, as provided by recent SEC guidance.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company continues to analyze the impact of other provisions of the Tax Reform Act on its financial statements and operations, including the impact of the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) rules, and the impact of the Tax Reform Act on the Company&amp;#x2019;s indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures. Any additional impacts from the enactment of the Tax Reform Act will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as provided for in accordance with SAB &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;118.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

The Share Increase Amendment was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 16, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;and it became effective the same day. In determining that the Share Increase Amendment was approved by the required vote, votes cast by brokers, banks or other nominees without instruction from the beneficial owners of certain of our outstanding shares were counted in favor of the proposal in accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that govern how brokers &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;cast such votes. Because a disclosure in the definitive proxy statement for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting, which was filed on Schedule &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;14A&lt;/div&gt; with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 27, 2017 (&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Proxy Statement), anticipated that brokers would &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have discretion to vote for the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment, a question has been raised as to the validity of the vote taken on the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment. The Company believes that the Share Increase Amendment was properly approved and is effective. However, because the description of the authority of brokers to vote on proposals without instruction in the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Proxy Statement &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;create some uncertainty as to the effect of the vote obtained at the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting and out of an abundance of caution, the Company intends to ask its stockholders at either a special meeting or the next annual meeting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s stockholders to ratify the filing and effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment pursuant to Delaware law in order to eliminate any uncertainty related to the effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment. The Company has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; issued, or reserved for issuance, and will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; issue, or reserve for issuance, any of the additional &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5,000,000&lt;/div&gt; authorized shares as part of the Share Increase Amendment unless the vote at the special or annual meeting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s stockholders is in favor of the ratification of the Share Increase Amendment.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 12; Value: 1 --&gt;   &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;During the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt; months ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 28, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Company repurchased and retired &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;11,475&lt;/div&gt; shares of its common stock at a price of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$12.92&lt;/div&gt; per share. &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No&lt;/div&gt; stock options to purchase shares of common stock were exercised during the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt; months ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 28, 2017.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company granted stock options under the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2007&lt;/div&gt; Plan to purchase an aggregate of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;56,677&lt;/div&gt; shares of its common stock to various employees and directors during the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt; months ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 28, 2017. &lt;/div&gt;The weighted average per share exercise price of the stock options was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$13.40,&lt;/div&gt; which was equal to the fair market value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock on the date of grant.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:StockholdersEquityNoteDisclosureTextBlock>

The Share Increase Amendment was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> January 16, 2018 </div>and it became effective the same day. In determining that the Share Increase Amendment was approved by the required vote, votes cast by brokers, banks or other nominees without instruction from the beneficial owners of certain of our outstanding shares were counted in favor of the proposal in accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that govern how brokers <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> may </div>cast such votes. Because a disclosure in the definitive proxy statement for the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Annual Meeting, which was filed on Schedule <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">14A</div> with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> November 27, 2017 (</div><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Proxy Statement), anticipated that brokers would <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> have discretion to vote for the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment, a question has been raised as to the validity of the vote taken on the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment. The Company believes that the Share Increase Amendment was properly approved and is effective. However, because the description of the authority of brokers to vote on proposals without instruction in the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Proxy Statement <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> may </div>create some uncertainty as to the effect of the vote obtained at the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Annual Meeting and out of an abundance of caution, the Company intends to ask its stockholders at either a special meeting or the next annual meeting of the Company&#x2019;s stockholders to ratify the filing and effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment pursuant to Delaware law in order to eliminate any uncertainty related to the effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment. The Company has <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> issued, or reserved for issuance, and will <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> issue, or reserve for issuance, any of the additional <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">5,000,000</div> authorized shares as part of the Share Increase Amendment unless the vote at the special or annual meeting of the Company&#x2019;s stockholders is in favor of the ratification of the Share Increase Amendment.</div> <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 12; Value: 1 -->   <!-- Field: /Page --> <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"></div> <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">six</div> months ended <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> February 28, 2017, </div>the Company repurchased and retired <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">11,475</div> shares of its common stock at a price of <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">$12.92</div> per share. <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">No</div> stock options to purchase shares of common stock were exercised during the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">six</div> months ended <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> February 28, 2017.</div></div> <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company granted stock options under the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2007</div> Plan to purchase an aggregate of <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">56,677</div> shares of its common stock to various employees and directors during the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">six</div> months ended <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> February 28, 2017. </div>The weighted average per share exercise price of the stock options was <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">$13.40,</div> which was equal to the fair market value of the Company&#x2019;s common stock on the date of grant.</div></div><span></span>
