<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted</i></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company&#8217;s significant accounting policies are detailed in &#8220;Note 1: Nature
of Business and Significant Accounting Policies&#8221; of the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August
31, 2018. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance creating Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) Section 606, <i>Revenue from Contracts with Customers</i> (ASC 606), which establishes a comprehensive new model for the
recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. This model is based on the core principle that revenue should be recognized
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 for all customer contracts using the
modified retrospective method. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs
the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract;
(3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5)
recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts
when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to,
or services it performs for, the customer.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the previously reported financial statements in
any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings; and therefore, the adoption of the standard
did not impact the Company&#8217;s revenue recognition process. Generally, the Company&#8217;s performance obligations are satisfied
when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the
terms of the contracts. The Company&#8217;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include
fixed or determinable price and sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company
does not recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements
do not generate contract assets or liabilities.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Changes to the Company&#8217;s significant accounting policies as a result of adopting
ASC 606 are discussed below:</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> - Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in
the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction
price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers and significant financing components. While
most of the Company&#8217;s revenue is contracted with customers through one-time purchase orders and short-term contracts, the
Company does have long-term arrangements with certain customers. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation
is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Individually promised goods and services in a contract are considered a distinct performance
obligation and accounted for separately if the customer can benefit from the individual good or service on its own or with other
resources that are readily available to the customer and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in
the arrangement. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations, the consideration is allocated between the performance
obligations in proportion to their estimated standalone selling price. Costs related to products delivered are recognized in the
period incurred, unless criteria for capitalization of costs are met. Costs of revenues consist primarily of direct labor, manufacturing
overhead, materials and components. The Company does not incur significant upfront costs to obtain a contract. If costs to obtain
a contract were to become material, the costs would be recorded as an asset and amortized to expense in a manner consistent with
the related recognition of revenue.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company excludes government assessed and imposed taxes on revenue generating transactions
that are invoiced to customers from revenue. The Company includes freight billed to customers in revenue. Shipping and handling
costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment
cost and are included in cost of goods sold.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts
receivable on the balance sheet.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Performance Obligations</i> - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract
to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&#8217;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance
obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company&#8217;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below:</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company sells its products to both distributors and end-users. Each unit of product
delivered under a customer order represents a distinct and separate performance obligation as the customer can benefit from each
unit on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and each unit of product is separately identifiable
from other products in the arrangement.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The transaction price for the Company&#8217;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company
does not have variable consideration in the form of refunds, credits, rebates, price concessions, pricing incentives or other items
impacting transaction price. The purchase order pricing in arrangements with customers is deemed to approximate standalone selling
price; therefore, the Company does not need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance
obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining
performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. There are no material obligations that extend
beyond one year.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 10 -->

    <!-- Field: /Page -->

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs as defined by the terms in the
customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The
Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-25-16A and does not assess if immaterial items are promised goods
or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18 regarding the adjustment of the promised
amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within
one year or less, as the Company does not have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements as payment is
received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally thirty to ninety days.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience if the right
to return products is granted to its customers. The Company does not record a return asset as non-conforming products are generally
not returned. The Company&#8217;s return policy does not vary by geography. The customer has no rotation or price protection rights,
and the Company is not under a warranty obligation.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Trade Receivables</I> - Trade receivables include amounts invoiced and currently due
from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company records an allowance for doubtful
accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based on a review of all
outstanding amounts on an on-going basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual
customer receivables and considers a customer&rsquo;s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade
receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible and have been historically insignificant. Recoveries of trade receivables
previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts are considered past due if payment is not received according to agreed-upon
terms.</P>


<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Sales Commissions</I> - Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible
for capitalization as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement
and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided
by ASC 340-40-25-4 and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization
period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling
expense.</P>




<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Product Warranty</i> - The Company offers warranties on various products and services.
These warranties are assurance type warranties that are not sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are not considered distinct
performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the
amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>International Revenue</i> - The Company markets its products to numerous countries
in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and other parts of the world. See Note 11, Segment and Geographical Information,
for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.</p>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, <I>Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted
Cash</I>, a consensus of the FASB&rsquo;s Emerging Issues Task Force (Task Force). The new standard requires that the statement
of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as
restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance
sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. &nbsp;This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public entities
beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company&rsquo;s first
quarter of fiscal year 2019. The amendments in this ASU 2016-18 should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We
do not anticipate ASU 2016-18 to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.</P>



<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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 year 2020. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU No. 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, <i>Income Statement &#8211; Reporting
Comprehensive Income </i>(Topic 220) <i>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 No. 2018-02, 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 No. 2018-02 will
be effective for the Company&#8217;s fiscal year 2020, with the option for early adoption 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-size: 10pt; 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 No. 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 14 - Income Taxes).</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank)
of $3,000,000. No amounts were outstanding under the line of credit as of both November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018. At the option
of the Company, outstanding advances under the line of credit bear interest at either (a) an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.15%
for the applicable LIBOR interest period selected by the Company or (b) at the rate publicly announced by PNC Bank from time to
time as its prime rate.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The line of credit is governed under a loan agreement. The loan agreement contains standard
covenants, including affirmative financial covenants, such as the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and negative
covenants, which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, loans and equity investments, disposition
of assets, mergers and consolidations and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Under the loan agreement, the
Company is subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00. As of November 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance
with all debt covenants.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The revolving credit facility allows the Company to request that PNC Bank issue letters
of credit up to $1,200,000. The Company did not have any letters of credit reserved against the available letters of credit balance
as of November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018 with PNC Bank. The availability of advances under the line of credit will be reduced
by the face amount of any letter of credit issued and outstanding (whether or not drawn) under the revolving credit facility.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">As of November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018, the Company had $88,831 of letters of credit
with JP Morgan Chase Bank that are performance based and set to expire between 2020 and 2022.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On November 30, 2018, the Company and PNC Bank extended the maturity date of the line
of credit from January 7, 2019 to January 7, 2020. All other terms of the line of credit and the loan agreement and other documents
evidencing the line of credit remain the same.</p></div><p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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 is asking its stockholders
at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on January 18, 2019 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 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
is in favor of the ratification of the Share Increase Amendment.</p></div><p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On August 31, 2018, 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, 2019. For fiscal 2019 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 2019 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal
2019 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 NTIC 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 2019. There was $450,000 accrued for management bonuses for the three months ended November 30,
2018 compared to $318,000 accrued for management bonuses for the three months ended November 30, 2017.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Three joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#8217;s joint ventures in South Korea,
Thailand, and India) accounted for 71.3% and 74.1% of the Company&#8217;s trade joint venture receivables at November 30, 2018
and August 31, 2018, respectively.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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 November 30, 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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 impacted 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.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company recorded income tax expense during the three months ended November 30, 2018

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&rsquo;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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Business Overview</b></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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>

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 India), and through distributors and certain joint ventures.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC receives funds from its joint ventures as fees received for services that NTIC provides
and as dividend distributions. 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 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, what amount is paid 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>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales increased 22.1% during the three months ended November
30, 2018 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2017. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in sales of
ZERUST&reg; oil and gas products and increased sales of Natur-Tec&reg; products.</P>




<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2018, 71.4% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net
sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which increased 5.6% to $10,065,174 compared to $9,527,737
for the three months ended November 30, 2017. This increase was due primarily to higher sales of ZERUST&#174; oil and gas products.
NTIC has focused its sales efforts of ZERUST&#174; products and services by strategically targeting customers with specific corrosion
issues in new market areas, including the oil and gas industry and other industrial sectors that offer sizable growth opportunities.
NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2018 included $986,173 of sales made to customers in
the oil and gas industry compared to $283,842 for the three months ended November 30, 2017. Overall demand for ZERUST&#174; products
and services depends heavily on the overall health of the markets in which NTIC sells its products, including the automotive, oil
and gas, agriculture, and mining markets in particular.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2018, 28.6% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net
sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 17.5% during the three months ended November 30, 2017. Net
sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 99.9% during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended
November 30, 2017 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>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 67.1% during the three months
ended November 30, 2018 compared to 68.3% during the three months ended November 30, 2017 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>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures increased 15.1% to $2,004,162 during
the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $1,741,328 during the three months ended November 30, 2017. This increase
was primarily due to a corresponding increase in net sales at the joint ventures, which increased 7.0% to $30,479,926 during the
three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $28,498,711 for the three months ended November 30, 2017. The increase in net
sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures was due primarily to higher sales from existing customers for new and existing products as
a result of increased demand. The increase in net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures resulted in a corresponding increase 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s total operating expenses increased 10.0% to $6,179,048 during the three
months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $5,618,425 for the three months ended November 30, 2017. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in NTIC&#8217;s personnel expenses.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC spent $872,157 and $798,731 during the three months ended November 30, 2018 and
2017, respectively, in connection with its research and development activities. NTIC anticipates that it will spend a total of
between $3,200,000 and $3,500,000 in fiscal 2019 on research and development activities.</p>

common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $1,083,626, or $0.24 per diluted common share, for the three
months ended November 30, 2017. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in gross profit and joint venture operations,
partially offset by the increase in operating expenses.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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.</p>

fiscal 2018, the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per share. 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

during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2017. NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated
net sales to unaffiliated customers excluding NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures increased 23.3% to $13,610,865 during the three months
ended November 30, 2018 compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. These increases were primarily a result of an increase in sales
of ZERUST&reg; oil and gas products and increased sales of Natur-Tec&reg; products. Net sales to joint ventures decreased 4.8%
to $483,187 during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. This decrease was primarily
a result of decreased demand.</P>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2018, 71.4% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net
sales were derived from sales of ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and services, which increased 5.6% to $10,065,174 during the three
months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $9,527,737 during the three months ended November 30, 2017. This increase was due to
increased demand from 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s net sales to the oil and gas industry sector increased during the three
months ended November 30, 2018 compared to the prior fiscal year period, primarily due to increased demand of ZERUST<sup>&#174;
</sup>industrial products and services and the addition of new customers in North America and China and increased demand of ZERUST<sup>&#174;
</sup>oil and gas products and services. 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2018, 28.6% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net
sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, which increased 99.9% to $4,028,878 during the three months ended November
30, 2018 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2017. This increase is 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>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

ventures increased 15.1% to $2,004,162 during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $1,741,328 during the three
months ended November 30, 2017. This increase was 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 $1,519,901 attributable to EXCOR during
the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $1,241,900 during the three months ended November 30, 2017.</p>

provided to joint ventures of $1,428,435 during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $1,507,142 during the three
months ended November 30, 2017, representing an decrease of $78,707, or 5.2%. 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
7.0% to $30,479,926 during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $28,498,711 for the three months ended November
30, 2017. Net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are not included in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements. Of the total
fee income for services provided to joint ventures, fees of $214,992 were attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November
30, 2018 compared to $219,873 attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November 30, 2017.</p>

ended November 30, 2018 compared to the same period in fiscal 2018 due primarily to increases in operating expenses associated
with ZERUST&#174; sales efforts, consisting primarily of selling and personnel expenses. Selling expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 19.9% for the three months ended November 30, 2018, from 22.5% during the three months ended November 30, 2017
primarily due to the increase in net sales, as previously described.</p>

increased 12.4% for the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to the same period in fiscal 2018 primarily due to increased
personnel costs. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 17.7% for the three months ended

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Income Tax Expense</I>. Income tax expense was $255,703 during the three months ended
November 30, 2018 compared to $104,991 during the three months ended November 30, 2017. Income tax expense was calculated based
on management&rsquo;s estimate of NTIC&rsquo;s annual effective income tax rate.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC considers the earnings of certain foreign joint ventures to be indefinitely invested
outside the United States on the basis of estimates that NTIC&#8217;s future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet
future domestic cash needs. As a result, U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the cumulative undistributed
earnings of $21,082,622 and $20,921,783 at November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018, respectively. To the extent undistributed earnings
of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are distributed in the future, they are not expected to result in any material additional income
tax liability after the application of foreign tax credits.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Net Income Attributable to NTIC</i>. Net income attributable to NTIC increased $413,433
to $1,497,059, or $0.32 per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $1,083,626, or $0.24
per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2017. This increase was primarily the result of the increase
in gross profit and joint venture operations, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Other Comprehensive Income - Foreign Currency Translations Adjustment. </i>The changes

current assets less current liabilities, was $24,166,621 at November 30, 2018, including $4,518,951 in cash and cash equivalents
and $1,711,930 in available for sale securities, compared to $22,837,591 at August 31, 2018, including $4,163,023 in cash and cash
equivalents and $3,300,110 in available for sale securities.</P>



<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">As of November 30, 2018, NTIC had a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank of $3,000,000,
with no amounts outstanding. At the option of the Company, outstanding advances under the line of credit bear interest at either
(a) an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.15% for the applicable LIBOR interest period selected by the Company or (b) at the rate
publicly announced by PNC Bank from time to time as its prime rate. On November 30, 2018, the Company and PNC Bank extended the
maturity date of the line of credit from January 7, 2019 to January 7, 2020. All other terms of the line of credit and the loan
agreement and other documents evidencing the line of credit remain the same. It is anticipated that, as historically has been the
practice, the line of credit will be renewed each year for one additional year for the immediate foreseeable future.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The line of credit is evidenced by an amended and restated committed line of credit note
in the principal amount of up to $3,000,000. The line of credit has a $1,200,000 standby letter of credit sub-facility, with any
standby letters of credit issued thereunder being at the sole discretion of PNC Bank. Any lines of credit issued by PNC Bank would
decrease the availability under the revolving line of credit.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The line of credit is subject to standard covenants, including affirmative financial
covenants, such as the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and negative covenants, which, among other things,
limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, loans and equity investments, disposition of assets, mergers and consolidations
and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Under the loan agreement, NTIC is subject to a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00. As of November 30, 2018, NTIC was in compliance with all debt covenants.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC believes that a combination of its existing cash and cash equivalents, available
for sale securities, forecasted cash flows from future operations, anticipated distributions of earnings, anticipated fees to NTIC
for services provided to its joint ventures, and funds available through existing or anticipated financing arrangements, will be
adequate to fund its existing operations, investments in new or existing joint ventures or subsidiaries, capital expenditures,
debt repayments, cash dividends and any stock repurchases for at least the next 12 months. During the remainder of fiscal 2019,
NTIC expects to continue to invest in NTIC China, research and development and in marketing efforts and resources for the application
of its corrosion prevention technology in the oil and gas industry and its Natur-Tec&#174; bio-plastics business, although the amounts
of these various investments are not known at this time. In order to take advantage of such new product and market opportunities
to expand its business and increase its revenues, NTIC may decide to finance such opportunities by borrowing under its revolving
line of credit or raising additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities. There is no assurance that any
financing transaction will be available on terms acceptable to NTIC or at all, or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive
to NTIC&#8217;s current stockholders.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC traditionally has used the cash generated from its operations, 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

from their respective owners. Therefore, NTIC believes there is limited exposure by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures that could materially
impact their respective operations and/or liquidity.</p>

three months ended November&nbsp;30, 2018 was $738,606, which resulted principally from NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint
ventures, an increase in inventory and increases in trade receivables excluding joint ventures, and income tax payable, partially
offset by NTIC&rsquo;s net income, depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net
cash used in operating activities during the three months ended November 30, 2017 was $1,429,783, which resulted principally from

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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,

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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 anticipates its net sales in second fiscal quarter may be 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-size: 10pt; 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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>

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 November 30, 2018, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</p>

rates, commodity prices and interest rates.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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>

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 November 30, 2018, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</p>

15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by NTIC in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s rules and
forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#8217;s management, including NTIC&#8217;s principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. NTIC&#8217;s management evaluated, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial
Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of NTIC&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered in this report. Based on that evaluation, NTIC&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that NTIC&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed in the reports that NTIC files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Except for the implementation of certain internal controls related to the adoption of
the new revenue recognition standard (ASC 606), there were no changes in NTIC&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
its internal control over financial reporting.&nbsp;&nbsp;NTIC implemented new controls as part of its effort to adopt ASC 606.
The adoption of ASC 606 required the implementation of new accounting processes which changed NTIC&#8217;s internal controls over
revenue recognition and financial reporting.&nbsp;&nbsp;NTIC implemented these internal controls to ensure it adequately evaluated
its contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new revenue recognition standard on its financial statements to facilitate
its adoption.&nbsp;&nbsp;NTIC has completed the design of these controls and they were implemented as of September 1, 2018.</p>

owed to NTI Asean under certain agreements related to NTIC&#8217;s former joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust Anti-Corrosion

Each plan participant&amp;#x2019;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&amp;#x2019;s annual base salary and the individual&amp;#x2019;s position and level of responsibility within the company.

The payment of bonuses under the plan are discretionary and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of NTIC common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined by the Company&amp;#x2019;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019.&lt;/div&gt; There was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$450,000&lt;/div&gt; accrued for management bonuses 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; November 30, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;compared to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$318,000&lt;/div&gt; accrued for management bonuses 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; November 30, 2017.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Three joint ventures (consisting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures in South Korea, Thailand, and India) accounted for &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;71.3%&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;74.1%&lt;/div&gt; of the Company&amp;#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 31, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;respectively.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; probable or the amount is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; materially affect the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

This model is based on the core principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;On &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the Company adopted ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt; for all customer contracts using the modified retrospective method. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606,&lt;/div&gt; the Company performs the following &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; steps: (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt;) identify the contracts with a customer; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt;) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt;) determine the transaction price; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;4&lt;/div&gt;) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5&lt;/div&gt;) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The adoption of ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt; did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; impact the previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings; and therefore, the adoption of the standard did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; impact the Company&amp;#x2019;s revenue recognition process. Generally, the Company&amp;#x2019;s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. The Company&amp;#x2019;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable price and sales arrangements do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; generate contract assets or liabilities.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Changes to the Company&amp;#x2019;s significant accounting policies as a result of adopting ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt; are discussed below:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/div&gt; - Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers and significant financing components. While most of the Company&amp;#x2019;s revenue is contracted with customers through &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt;-time purchase orders and short-term contracts, the Company does have long-term arrangements with certain customers. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Individually promised goods and services in a contract are considered a distinct performance obligation and accounted for separately if the customer can benefit from the individual good or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the arrangement. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations, the consideration is allocated between the performance obligations in proportion to their estimated standalone selling price. Costs related to products delivered are recognized in the period incurred, unless criteria for capitalization of costs are met. Costs of revenues consist primarily of direct labor, manufacturing overhead, materials and components. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; incur significant upfront costs to obtain a contract. If costs to obtain a contract were to become material, the costs would be recorded as an asset and amortized to expense in a manner consistent with the related recognition of revenue.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company excludes government assessed and imposed taxes on revenue generating transactions that are invoiced to customers from revenue. The Company includes freight billed to customers in revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the balance sheet.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Performance Obligations&lt;/div&gt; - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&amp;#x2019;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company&amp;#x2019;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company sells its products to both distributors and end-users. Each unit of product delivered under a customer order represents a distinct and separate performance obligation as the customer can benefit from each unit on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and each unit of product is separately identifiable from other products in the arrangement.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The transaction price for the Company&amp;#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have variable consideration in the form of refunds, credits, rebates, price concessions, pricing incentives or other items impacting transaction price. The purchase order pricing in arrangements with customers is deemed to approximate standalone selling price; therefore, the Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;50&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;14&lt;/div&gt; and does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year or less. There are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; material obligations that extend beyond &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;25&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;16A&lt;/div&gt; and does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;32&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt; regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year or less, as the Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;thirty&lt;/div&gt; to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;ninety&lt;/div&gt; days.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience if the right to return products is granted to its customers. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; record a return asset as non-conforming products are generally &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; returned. The Company&amp;#x2019;s return policy does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; vary by geography. The customer has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; under a warranty obligation.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Trade Receivables&lt;/div&gt; - Trade receivables include amounts invoiced and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; be collected. The allowance is based on a review of all outstanding amounts on an on-going basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considers a customer&amp;#x2019;s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible and have been historically insignificant. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts are considered past due if payment is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; received according to agreed-upon terms.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Sales Commissions&lt;/div&gt; - Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization as they are incremental costs that would &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;340&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;40&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;25&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;4&lt;/div&gt; and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Product Warranty&lt;/div&gt; - The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;International Revenue&lt;/div&gt; - The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and other parts of the world. See Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;11,&lt;/div&gt; Segment and Geographical Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 2016, &lt;/div&gt;FASB issued 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;18,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;230&lt;/div&gt;): Restricted Cash&lt;/div&gt;, a consensus of the FASB&amp;#x2019;s Emerging Issues Task Force (Task Force). The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. &amp;nbsp;This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;with early adoption permitted. This 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 year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019.&lt;/div&gt; The amendments in this 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;18&lt;/div&gt; should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

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 is asking its stockholders at the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 18, 2019 &lt;/div&gt;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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting of Stockholders is in favor of the ratification of the Share Increase Amendment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:StockholdersEquityNoteDisclosureTextBlock>

This model is based on the core principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> September 1, 2018, </div>the Company adopted ASC <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">606</div> for all customer contracts using the modified retrospective method. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">606,</div> the Company performs the following <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">five</div> steps: (<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">1</div>) identify the contracts with a customer; (<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2</div>) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">3</div>) determine the transaction price; (<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">4</div>) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">5</div>) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">five</div>-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The adoption of ASC <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">606</div> did <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> impact the previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings; and therefore, the adoption of the standard did <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> impact the Company&#x2019;s revenue recognition process. Generally, the Company&#x2019;s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. The Company&#x2019;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable price and sales arrangements do <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> generate contract assets or liabilities.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div><div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Changes to the Company&#x2019;s significant accounting policies as a result of adopting ASC <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">606</div> are discussed below:</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Revenue Recognition</div> - Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers and significant financing components. While most of the Company&#x2019;s revenue is contracted with customers through <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">one</div>-time purchase orders and short-term contracts, the Company does have long-term arrangements with certain customers. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Individually promised goods and services in a contract are considered a distinct performance obligation and accounted for separately if the customer can benefit from the individual good or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the arrangement. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations, the consideration is allocated between the performance obligations in proportion to their estimated standalone selling price. Costs related to products delivered are recognized in the period incurred, unless criteria for capitalization of costs are met. Costs of revenues consist primarily of direct labor, manufacturing overhead, materials and components. The Company does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> incur significant upfront costs to obtain a contract. If costs to obtain a contract were to become material, the costs would be recorded as an asset and amortized to expense in a manner consistent with the related recognition of revenue.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company excludes government assessed and imposed taxes on revenue generating transactions that are invoiced to customers from revenue. The Company includes freight billed to customers in revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the balance sheet.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Performance Obligations</div> - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&#x2019;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company&#x2019;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below:</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company sells its products to both distributors and end-users. Each unit of product delivered under a customer order represents a distinct and separate performance obligation as the customer can benefit from each unit on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and each unit of product is separately identifiable from other products in the arrangement.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The transaction price for the Company&#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> have variable consideration in the form of refunds, credits, rebates, price concessions, pricing incentives or other items impacting transaction price. The purchase order pricing in arrangements with customers is deemed to approximate standalone selling price; therefore, the Company does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">606</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">10</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">50</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">14</div> and does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">one</div> year or less. There are <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">no</div> material obligations that extend beyond <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">one</div> year.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div><div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">606</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">10</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">25</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">16A</div> and does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">606</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">10</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">32</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">18</div> regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">one</div> year or less, as the Company does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">thirty</div> to <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">ninety</div> days.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience if the right to return products is granted to its customers. The Company does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> record a return asset as non-conforming products are generally <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> returned. The Company&#x2019;s return policy does <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> vary by geography. The customer has <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">no</div> rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> under a warranty obligation.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Trade Receivables</div> - Trade receivables include amounts invoiced and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> be collected. The allowance is based on a review of all outstanding amounts on an on-going basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considers a customer&#x2019;s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible and have been historically insignificant. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts are considered past due if payment is <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> received according to agreed-upon terms.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Sales Commissions</div> - Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization as they are incremental costs that would <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">340</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">40</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">25</div>-<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">4</div> and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">one</div> year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Product Warranty</div> - The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> may </div>be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">International Revenue</div> - The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and other parts of the world.

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 is asking its stockholders at the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2019</div> Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> January 18, 2019 </div>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.
