  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b>Overview</b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC) develops and markets proprietary, environmentally beneficial products and services in over 65 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. NTIC&#x2019;s primary business is corrosion prevention products and services, marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#xae; brand. NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#xae; products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for almost 50 years and, more recently, has also expanded into the oil and gas industry. Additionally, NTIC markets and sells a portfolio of proprietary bio-based and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under the Natur-Tec&#xae; brand. These products are intended to reduce NTIC&#x2019;s customers&#x2019; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound waste disposal options.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; 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&#x2019;s technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; 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&#xae; corrosion prevention solutions through a network of independent distributors and agents supported by a direct sales force.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Internationally, NTIC sells its ZERUST&#xae; corrosion prevention solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), starting September 1, 2021 its wholly-owned subsidiary in India, HNTI Ltd. (Zerust India), its majority-owned joint venture holding company for NTIC&#x2019;s joint venture investments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), certain majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. NTIC also sells products directly to its European joint venture partners through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany, NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe).</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">One of NTIC&#x2019;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets for its ZERUST&#xae; 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&#xae; 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 leaks caused by corrosion.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC markets and sells its ZERUST&#xae; 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&#xae; 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>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In connection with the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, we terminated our Russian joint venture, Mostnic-Zerust, in May 2022, and believe this will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, given the immateriality of this entity.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC receives funds from its joint ventures as fees received for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures 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&#x2019;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&#x2019;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 dividends are paid and, if so, 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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC derives revenues directly and/or indirectly through its subsidiaries and joint ventures from two reportable business segments based on products sold, customer base, and distribution center: ZERUST&#xae; corrosion prevention solutions and Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>ZERUST</i></b>&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup><b><i>Corrosion Prevention Solutions</i></b>. In fiscal 2022, 77.5% of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales were derived from developing, manufacturing and marketing ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services. NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales in fiscal 2022 included $57,459,382 in sales of ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services, an increase of 26.1% from such sales in fiscal 2021. Corrosion not only damages the appearance of metal products and components but also negatively impacts their mechanical performance. This applies to the rusting of ferrous metals (iron and steel) and the deterioration by oxidation of nonferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.).&#xa0; NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; corrosion prevention solutions include plastic and paper packaging, powders, liquids, coatings, rust removers, cleaners, diffusers, and engineered solutions for the oil and gas industry as well as technical corrosion management and consulting services.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Plastic and Paper Packaging</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; packaging products contain proprietary chemical formulations that continuously release an invisible, odorless and non-toxic vapor that forms a passivating layer on any metal surfaces it comes in contact with and thereby inhibits rust and corrosion. The corrosion inhibiting protection is maintained only as long as the metal products to be protected remain enclosed within the ZERUST&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup>packaging. Electron scanning shows that once metal products are removed from the ZERUST&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup>packaging, the ZERUST&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup>protective layer dissipates from the contents&#x2019; surfaces within two hours, leaving a clean, dry, and corrosion-free metal component. This mechanism of corrosion protection enables NTIC&#x2019;s customers to easily package metal objects for rust-free shipment and/or long-term storage. Furthermore, by eliminating costly greasing and degreasing processes and/or significantly reducing the use of certain coatings to inhibit corrosion, NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup>corrosion prevention solutions provide customers significant savings as compared to traditional methods of corrosion prevention in terms of labor, material, and capital expenditures for equipment to apply, remove, and dispose of oils and greases, as well as environmental, health and safety benefits provided by not having to handle and work with hazardous chemicals.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC was first in the world to develop the means of infusing volatile corrosion inhibiting chemical compounds (VCIs) into polyethylene and polypropylene resins. Combining ZERUST&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup>chemical compounds with polyethylene and polypropylene resins permitted NTIC to introduce a line of plastic packaging products in the form of low and high-density polyethylene bags and shroud film, including stretch, shrink, skin, and bubble cushioning film, thereby giving customers the ability to ship and store ferrous, nonferrous, and mixed-metal products in a clean, dry, and corrosion-free condition, at an overall savings in total process costs. In addition to plastic packaging, NTIC has also developed VCI compounds to imbue kraft paper, corrugated cardboard, solid fiber, and chipboard packaging materials with corrosion protection properties. NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; plastic and paper packaging products come in various thicknesses, strength enhancements, protection types, shapes, and sizes. This product line also includes items such as ZERUST&#xae; gun cases, car covers, and tool-drawer liners, which are targeted at retail consumers.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Liquids and Coatings</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s corrosion prevention solutions include a line of metal surface treatment liquids and coatings, which are oil, water, or bio-solvent based, and are marketed under brand names including Axxatec&#x2122;, Axxanol&#x2122;, and Z-Maxx&#x2122;. These liquids and coatings provide powerful protection in aggressively corrosive environments, such as salt air, high humidity, and/or high temperatures. Products are formulated for most metal types and protection levels. For exceptionally harsh environments, customers may choose to use a combination of NTIC&#x2019;s liquids and coatings with ZERUST&#xae; plastic and/or paper products to achieve robust corrosion protection during manufacturing, shipping, and warehousing stages.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Rust Removers and Cleaners</i>. NTIC also sells rust removal and cleaning products, under the Axxaclean&#x2122; brand name, designed to restore rusty parts to a usable condition without the use of labor-intensive, abrasive cleaners that damage surfaces and commonly fail to remove rust from complex metal surfaces, like the teeth of small gears.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Diffusers</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s corrosion prevention solutions include a line of corrosion inhibiting vapor diffusers, such as ZERUST&#xae; ActivPak&#xae;, ZERUST&#xae; ICT&#xae; Vapor Capsules, ZERUST&#xae; ICT&#xae; Plastabs&#xae;, ZERUST&#xae; ICT&#xae; Cor-Tabs&#xae;, ZERUST&#xae; ICT&#xae; Pipe Strip, and ZERUST&#xae; ICT&#xae; Tube Strip. These diffusers are designed to protect metals within enclosures, like switch gearboxes and electronics cabinets, or can be used as extra protection when added to ZERUST&#xae; packaging products. Diffusers work by permeating the interior air of an enclosure with an invisible and odorless corrosion inhibiting vapor that settles as a protective layer on all metal surfaces that are within the range of a specific &#x201c;radius of protection&#x201d; for a period of one or two years depending on the product model. This invisible and dry protective layer revaporizes and dissipates into the air upon removal of a diffuser from an enclosure, leaving all surfaces clean, dry, residue-free, and corrosion-free.&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Z-CIS</i>&#xae;<i> Technical Services</i>. As an on-going effort to help NTIC&#x2019;s customers improve and control their corrosion management processes, NTIC markets and offers unique corrosion management and consulting services to target customers. This ZERUST&#xae; corrosion inhibition system (known as Z-CIS&#xae;) leverages NTIC&#x2019;s global network to dispatch highly-trained technical service engineers to customer sites to solve complex corrosion problems. Several major automotive companies and their automotive parts suppliers have used NTIC&#x2019;s Z&#x2011;CIS&#xae; system.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>ZERUST</i>&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup><i>Corrosion Prevention Solutions Designed Specifically for the Oil and Gas Industry</i>.&#xa0; NTIC has developed proprietary engineered corrosion inhibiting solutions specifically to mitigate the types of corrosion that commonly form on the capital assets used in the petroleum and chemical process industries and has targeted the sale of these ZERUST&#xae; corrosion solutions to potential customers in the oil and gas industry.&#xa0; NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales in fiscal 2022 included $4,608,232 in sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry, an increase of 21.5% from such sales in fiscal 2021. On September 19, 2022, NTIC announced the signing of an initial contract with BP Exploration (Caspian Sea) Limited p.l.c. to supply chemical corrosion protection services for 12 storage tanks through December 2025, representing the largest contract to date for oil and gas storage tank solutions. While NTIC believes this shows increased acceptance of corrosion solutions for the oil and gas industry, NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#xae; products and services into the oil and gas industry will continue to remain subject to significant volatility, specifically due to economic factors, such as potential crude oil price changes and global supply/demand churn. NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#xae; products and services into the oil and gas industry may be subject to additional volatility due to uncertainty caused by certain environmental policies and priorities of the current administration. Demand for ZERUST&#xae; oil and gas products around the world depends primarily on market acceptance and the reach of NTIC&#x2019;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size of NTIC&#x2019;s net sales derived from sales of oil and gas products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#x2019;s sales compared to prior fiscal year period sales. Projects in South America, Europe, the Middle East, and South East Asia are still a small but growing, strategically important part of the sales growth picture.&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The infrastructure/assets that support the oil and gas industry are predominantly constructed using metals that are highly susceptible to corrosion. The industrial environment at these facilities usually contains compounds, including sulfides and chlorides, which cause aggressive corrosion. This problem affects the service life and safety of pipelines, petroleum storage tanks, spare parts in long-term storage, coastal/offshore assets, and other critical equipment.&#xa0;In addition to the costs associated with the replacement of parts and structures, maintenance and repairs, and product loss, there are significant economic losses associated with critical infrastructure being down for repair and maintenance.&#xa0; Furthermore, there are also considerable health, safety, and environmental risks caused by corrosion that can greatly increase economic losses. While the industry predominantly uses various paints/coatings, engineered alloys, cathodic protection, etc. to mitigate corrosion, there are several situations where such options are not feasible and, in many such cases, NTIC believes that its ZERUST&#xae; oil and gas corrosion prevention solutions are more effective at minimizing maintenance downtime on critical oil and gas industry infrastructure, extend the life of such infrastructure, and reduce the risk of environmental pollution due to leaks caused by corrosion.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s rust and corrosion inhibiting products for the oil and gas industry include ZERUST&#xae; Flange Savers&#xae;, ZERUST&#xae; ReCAST-SSB solutions, and ZERUST&#xae; chemicals, including Zerion powders and gels, in addition to many of the standard industrial ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products previously described.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">ZERUST&#xae; ReCAST-SSB solutions protect the Soil Side Bottoms (SSB) of aboveground storage tanks through a variety of unique and highly effective delivery systems designed by the Zerust Oil &amp; Gas team to deliver proprietary Zerion FVS corrosion inhibitor to spaces under tank bottoms that are susceptible to significant corrosion.&#xa0; Tank bottoms are typically made of steel plates, which are in direct contact with a foundation surface that may be concrete, sand/soil, or asphalt/bitumen.&#xa0; It is typically not possible to protect this underside surface with traditional coatings.&#xa0; Cathodic protection (CP) systems can only provide partial protection, but also have significant limitations that cause failures well ahead of the expected service life of a tank. The ZERUST&#xae; solutions provide effective protection even to areas that cannot be addressed with CP.&#xa0; These are engineered solutions where each system is tailored to a customer&#x2019;s requirements depending on factors including the tank foundation design, specific environmental conditions, and tank diameter.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Natur-Tec&#xae; resins and finished products sales in North America and finished product sales at NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in India and at NTIC&#x2019;s subsidiary in China, experienced reduced demand globally as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on demand from many large users of bioplastics, including college campuses, stadiums, arenas, restaurants, and corporate office complexes. Additionally, demand for apparel packaging solutions was impacted by ongoing COVID- related lockdowns and supply-chain bottlenecks in Asia. In fiscal 2022, NTIC experienced a significant recovery in many of these areas to pre-pandemic levels, but still expects some of these customers will be the last businesses to fully re-open and operate at full pre-pandemic capacities, and accordingly, anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely affect sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products into fiscal 2023.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Resin Compounds</i></b><i>.</i>&#xa0; Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds are produced by blending commonly available base resins, such as Ecoflex&#xae; from BASF, Ingeo&#xae; PLA from NatureWorks LLC, and Luminy&#xae; from Total-Corbion with organic and inorganic fillers and proprietary polymer modifiers and compatibilizers using NTIC&#x2019;s proprietary and patented ReX Process.&#xa0; In this process, biodegradable polymers, natural polymers made from renewable, plant-biomass resources, and organic and inorganic materials are reactively blended in the presence of proprietary compatibilizers and polymer modifiers to produce bio-based and/or compostable polymer resin formulations that exhibit unique and stable morphology. Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds are engineered for high performance, ease of processing, and reduced cost compared to most other bio-plastic materials and can be processed by converters using conventional plastic manufacturing processes and equipment.&#xa0;&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Internationally, NTIC uses Natur-Tec India, Natur Tec Lanka, NTIC China and a network of international distributors to market its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products. The government of India recently announced a phased ban on the manufacture and sale of single-use plastics beginning in July 2022. The first phase bans earbuds and plastic sticks used in balloons and ice cream. The second phase bans plastic cigarette packets and plastic bags less than 100 microns thick. Notably, compostable plastics are exempt from this ban. Accordingly, NTIC expects the market in India for bio-plastic packaging solutions to continue to grow substantially. Similarly, despite slower than anticipated sales of Natur-Tec&#xae;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup>products in China due to ongoing restrictions and shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, NTIC anticipates that sales will grow in China in fiscal 2023 in connection with China&#x2019;s ban on single-use plastic utensils, bags and certain other single-use plastic items, which took effect in January 2021.</p>

While NTIC is unaware of any third parties with which NTIC competes on a worldwide basis with respect to its corrosion prevention solutions, NTIC does compete with several third parties on a regional basis. NTIC evaluates competing rust and corrosion inhibiting products on an ongoing basis. Some of NTIC&#x2019;s competitors are established companies that may have financial resources, marketing capabilities, distribution networks and other resources substantially greater than those of NTIC. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than NTIC. With respect to its rust and corrosion inhibiting products, NTIC competes on the basis of product innovation, quality, reliability, product support, customer service, reputation, and price. Some of NTIC&#x2019;s competitors may have achieved significant market acceptance of their competing products and brand recognition. NTIC, however, believes it has an advantage over most of its competitors as a result of NTIC&#x2019;s technical innovation and its value-added services. NTIC attempts to provide its customers with the highest level of technical service and applications engineering in addition to ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products. Nonetheless, the commoditization of certain of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products has led, and may continue to lead, to lower prices and lower margins on such products. In addition, because certain barriers to entry are low, additional competitors may emerge, which likely would lead to the further commoditization of NTIC&#x2019;s rust and corrosion inhibiting products.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In 1980, NTIC developed and patented the first polyolefin (plastic) based industrial corrosion inhibiting packing material in the world. The U.S. patent granted under this patent application became the most important intellectual property right in NTIC&#x2019;s history.&#xa0; This patent expired in 2000.&#xa0; NTIC has since filed for 12 letters of patent in the United States covering various corrosion inhibiting technologies, systems, and applications and now owns several patents in these areas. These patents and patent applications have been extended to the countries of strategic relevance to NTIC, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, India, Korea, Mexico, Russia, and Taiwan.&#xa0; In addition, EXCOR owns several patents in the area covering various corrosion inhibiting technologies and has also applied for new patents on proprietary new corrosion inhibiting technologies.&#xa0; NTIC is also seeking additional patent protection covering various host materials into which its corrosion inhibiting additives and other protective features can be incorporated, proprietary new process technologies, and chemical formulations outside the area of corrosion protection.&#xa0; NTIC owns several patents outside the area of corrosion protection both in the United States and in countries of strategic relevance to NTIC, including the above-noted countries. &#xa0;&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC does not typically carry excess quantities of raw materials because of historically widespread availability for such materials from various suppliers.&#xa0; However, with respect to its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products, there are a limited number of suppliers of the base resins used to manufacture the resin compounds and finished products.&#xa0; Additionally, there is growing demand for these base resins, which has caused cost increases and, more recently, supply issues.&#xa0; In the past and during fiscal year 2022, NTIC has experienced some delays in obtaining these base resins due to production slowdowns, which resulted from manufacturing issues, labor shortages and power restrictions in China, freight container shortages, and the war in Ukraine. Due to supply chain disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and otherwise, NTIC experienced longer lead times for raw materials and experienced raw material cost increases during fiscal 2022 compared to prior fiscal years. These trends improved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, and it is anticipated that these worldwide disruptions and supply issues will continue to improve in fiscal year 2023.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition, a few raw materials and purchased parts used in NTIC&#x2019;s rust and corrosion inhibiting products and Natur-Tec&#xae; finished products are sourced from suppliers who currently serve as NTIC&#x2019;s sole source of supply for these materials and parts.&#xa0; Although NTIC believes it can obtain these raw materials and parts from other suppliers, an unexpected loss of supply over a short period of time, including as a result of the worldwide disruption in supply issues, may not allow NTIC time to replace these sources in the ordinary course of business.</p>

In addition, the manufacture, sale and use of NTIC&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products are subject to regulation in the United States by the FDA. The FDA&#x2019;s regulations are concerned with substances used in food packaging materials. Thus, food and beverage containers are in compliance with FDA regulations if the components used in the food and beverage containers are approved by the FDA as indirect food additives for their intended uses and comply with the applicable FDA indirect food additive regulations or are generally recognized as safe for their intended uses and are of suitable purity for those intended uses. NTIC believes that its resin compounds are in compliance with all FDA requirements and that NTIC does not require further FDA approval prior to the sale of its products.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">This report on Form 10-K contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements that are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. In addition, NTIC or others on NTIC&#x2019;s behalf may make forward-looking statements from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone conferences and/or web casts open to the public, in press releases or reports, on NTIC&#x2019;s Internet web site, or otherwise. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report or expressed by NTIC orally from time to time that address activities, events, or developments that NTIC expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, in particular, the statements about NTIC&#x2019;s plans, objectives, strategies, and prospects regarding, among other things, NTIC&#x2019;s financial condition, results of operations and business, the anticipated effect of COVID-19 and its acquisition of Zerust India on NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition, and the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings. NTIC has identified some of these forward-looking statements in this report with words like &#x201c;believe,&#x201d; &#x201c;can,&#x201d; &#x201c;may,&#x201d; &#x201c;could,&#x201d; &#x201c;would,&#x201d; &#x201c;might,&#x201d; &#x201c;forecast,&#x201d; &#x201c;possible,&#x201d; &#x201c;potential,&#x201d; &#x201c;project,&#x201d; &#x201c;will,&#x201d; &#x201c;should,&#x201d; &#x201c;expect,&#x201d; &#x201c;intend,&#x201d; &#x201c;plan,&#x201d; &#x201c;predict,&#x201d; &#x201c;anticipate,&#x201d; &#x201c;estimate,&#x201d; &#x201c;approximate,&#x201d; &#x201c;outlook,&#x201d; or &#x201c;continue&#x201d; or the negative of these words or other words and terms of similar meaning. The use of future dates is also an indication of a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements may be contained in the notes to NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report, including under &#x201c;<i>Part II. Item 7. Management</i>&#x2019;<i>s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations</i>.&#x201d;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting NTIC and are subject to uncertainties and factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market as well as matters specific to NTIC.&#xa0;&#xa0;These uncertainties and factors are difficult to predict, and many of them are beyond NTIC&#x2019;s control.&#xa0;&#xa0;Some of the uncertainties and factors known to us that could cause NTIC&#x2019;s actual results to differ materially from what NTIC has anticipated in its forward-looking statements are described under &#x201c;<i>Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors</i>.&#x201d; All forward-looking statements included in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.&#xa0; NTIC wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement that speaks only as of the date made and to recognize that forward-looking statements are predictions of future results, which may not occur as anticipated.&#xa0; Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results due to the uncertainties and factors described above and others that NTIC may consider immaterial or does not anticipate at this time.&#xa0; Although NTIC believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, NTIC does not know whether its expectations will prove correct.&#xa0; NTIC&#x2019;s expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions NTIC might make or by known or unknown uncertainties and factors, including those described above.&#xa0; The risks and uncertainties described above are not exclusive, and further information concerning NTIC and its business, including factors that potentially could materially affect its financial results or condition, may emerge from time to time.&#xa0; NTIC assumes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.&#xa0; NTIC advises you, however, to consult any further disclosures NTIC makes on related subjects in its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K that NTIC files with or furnishes to the SEC.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The U.S. and world economies may suffer from uncertainty, volatility, disruption, and other adverse conditions, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and persistent inflation resulting therefrom, and those conditions have adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact the business community and the financial markets. Adverse economic and financial market conditions may negatively affect NTIC&#x2019;s customers and its markets, thereby negatively impacting its business and operating results. For example, weak market conditions could extend the length of NTIC&#x2019;s sales cycle and cause potential customers to delay, defer, or decline to make purchases of NTIC&#x2019;s products and services due to uncertainties surrounding the future performance of their businesses, limitations on their capital expenditures due to internal budget constraints, the inability to obtain financing in the capital markets, and the adverse effects of the economy on their business and financial condition. As a result, if economic and financial market conditions weaken or deteriorate, then NTIC&#x2019;s business, financial condition, and operating results, including its ability to grow and expand its business and operations, could be materially and adversely affected.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s operating results are especially dependent upon the economic health of the economies in the United States, Europe, India and China. Since a significant portion of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services are sold to customers in the automotive industry, adverse economic conditions affecting the automotive industry, in particular, may result in an adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s net sales and its other operating results. Accordingly, any weakness in the global economy, particularly the United States, Europe, India and China, and in the automotive industry, including decreased production resulting from the ongoing microchip shortage, have negatively impacted and may continue to negatively impact NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results, and financial condition.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">COVID-19 has resulted in the curtailment of business activities from time to time, including more recently in China, and has caused weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad. Business closures and slowdowns adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact NTIC directly and caused some of NTIC&#x2019;s customers and suppliers to operate at a fraction of their capacities or wholly lock down, which disrupted and may continue to disrupt NTIC&#x2019;s sales and production, especially in China. These and other factors, such as other COVID-19 variants that may arise, contributed to NTIC experiencing decreased global demand for its products and services during certain markets during fiscal 2022 and more widespread during fiscal 2021 and increased supply chain and shipping costs and disruptions, which will likely continue to some degree during fiscal 2023. This decreased demand may have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition in fiscal 2023. Due to the international reach of COVID-19, NTIC anticipates that its international subsidiaries and joint ventures will continue to be adversely impacted by the causes listed above, as well as other local issues that may arise, which will likely continue to have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s international subsidiaries and joint venture operations and equity in income from joint ventures. It is currently not possible to predict the precise potential impact, as well as the extent of any impact, of the COVID-19 pandemic on NTIC&#x2019;s business, and on the global economy as a whole. It is also currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels or supply chain disruptions to cease. A prolonged situation could have a significant adverse effect on economies and financial markets globally, potentially deepening the current worldwide economic downturn, which could have a significant adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition. Any of these events could materially adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has already adversely affected and could in the future adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s stock price.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Increases in inflation may have a negative impact on NTIC&#x2019;s business. Current and future inflationary effects may be driven by, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, governmental stimulus or fiscal policies and the Russia/Ukraine war. While the persistent inflation experienced in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 has somewhat stabilized recently, increases in inflation have impacted the cost of raw materials, the overall demand for NTIC&#x2019;s products, labor, and the margins NTIC and its joint ventures are able to realize on the sale of products, all of which have had and could continue to have a negative impact on NTIC&#x2019;s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained levels of high inflation caused the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates, which could increase the cost of capital available to NTIC and depress economic growth, which could also negatively impact our business.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, supply chain disruptions, resulting from factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, labor supply shortages and shipping container shortages, impacted, and may continue to impact, NTIC and its third-party manufacturers. These disruptions have resulted in longer lead times and increased product costs and shipping expenses. While NTIC has taken steps to minimize the impact of these increased costs by working closely with its suppliers and customers, there can be no assurances that unforeseen events impacting the supply chain will not have a material adverse effect on NTIC in the future. Additionally, the impacts supply chain disruptions have on NTIC&#x2019;s third-party manufacturers are not within NTIC&#x2019;s control. While we have seen recent improvements, it is not currently possible to predict how long it will take for these supply chain disruptions to cease. Prolonged supply chain disruptions impacting NTIC and its third-party manufacturers could interrupt product manufacturing, increase product costs and result in lost sales, which may have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, supply chain disruptions began to emerge because of the COVID-19 pandemic, shipping container shortages, and the changes in global demand. These conditions and ocean freight capacity issues continued to persist worldwide during fiscal 2022 as there was much greater demand for shipping and reduced capacity and equipment, which resulted in significantly longer shipping times and significant price increases per shipping container. While many of these effects have improved, it is possible that NTIC may continue to experience adverse effects during fiscal 2023. Shipping companies have taken measures such as charging priority booking fees to allocate space as they have fewer ships and workers operating. While we have seen recent stabilizations of container costs and, in some markets, a recent decrease in costs, there is no indication that these shipping delays and increased shipping container rates will return to historical levels in the near-term, and these delays and elevated costs could have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated results of operations. Furthermore, transportation delays, increases on shipping containers, more extensive travel restrictions, closures or disruptions of businesses and facilities or social, economic, political or labor instability in the affected areas may impact the operations of NTIC&#x2019;s suppliers, which could in turn adversely affect NTIC, and its revenues and operating costs. Any of these disruptions may negatively impact NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results, and financial condition.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC relies on suppliers for certain raw materials and components used in its products. For reasons of quality assurance, cost effectiveness, or availability, NTIC procures certain raw materials and components from sole or limited source suppliers. Among the limited source suppliers NTIC does business with are the manufacturers of plastic resins used in Natur-Tec&#xae; products. NTIC generally acquires these and other raw materials and components through purchase orders placed in the ordinary course of business, and as a result, NTIC does not have a significant inventory of these materials and components and does not have any guaranteed or contractual supply arrangements with many of these suppliers for these materials and components. NTIC&#x2019;s dependence on third-party suppliers involves several risks, including limited control over pricing, availability, quality, and delivery schedules, as well as manufacturing yields and costs. Suppliers of such raw materials and components may decide, or be required, for reasons beyond NTIC&#x2019;s control, to cease supplying such raw materials and components to NTIC or to raise their prices.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Shortages of raw materials, quality control problems, production capacity constraints, or delays by suppliers could negatively affect NTIC&#x2019;s ability to meet its production obligations and result in increased prices for affected parts. For example, the rapid growth in demand for bioplastics products globally has increased the demand and the price for plastic resins, and limited suppliers of such plastic resins may experience shortages caused by demand outpacing their production capabilities, which could result in NTIC&#x2019;s inability to produce its Natur-Tec&#xae; products promptly or in the volumes demanded. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply shortages, which also could result in NTIC&#x2019;s inability to produce its Natur-Tec&#xae; products.<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:pt"> </sup>These and other shortages, constraints, or delays may result in delays in shipments of products or components, which could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s net sales and other operating results and its reputation. From time to time, materials and components used in NTIC&#x2019;s products are subject to allocation because of shortages of these materials and components.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">NTIC uses certain raw materials and components in its products, including in particular plastic resins, which are subject to price increases.&#xa0; In light of increased global demand for bioplastics, production slowdowns due to manufacturing issues, labor shortages and power restrictions in China, freight container shortages, the war in Ukraine, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the prices of certain plastic resins increased in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 and have remained higher than pre-pandemic prices, which could adversely affect gross margins on NTIC&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; products. If these shortages persist, the cost and/or production of NTIC&#x2019;s products could be adversely affected. Additionally, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting sanctions by U.S. and European governments have resulted in and may continue to result in commodity price fluctuations, which have decreased our margins and the margins of our joint ventures and resulted in decreased joint venture profitability, which will likely continue during fiscal 2023. Finally, changes to international trade agreements could result in additional tariffs, duties, or other charges on raw materials or components we import into the U.S.&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC utilizes contract manufacturers for a significant portion of its production requirements. The majority of NTIC&#x2019;s manufacturing is conducted in the United States by contract manufacturers that also perform services for numerous other companies. NTIC does not have a guaranteed level of production capacity with any of its contract manufacturers. Qualifying new contract manufacturers is time consuming and might result in unforeseen manufacturing and operations problems. The loss of NTIC&#x2019;s relationships with its contract manufacturers or their inability to conduct their manufacturing and assembly services for NTIC as anticipated in terms of capacity, cost, quality, and timeliness could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s ability to fill customer orders in accordance with required delivery, quality, and performance requirements, thus adversely affecting NTIC&#x2019;s net sales and other operating results.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations, and tariffs. The Trump administration had signaled support for implementing and, in some instances, proposed or took action with respect to major changes to certain trade policies in an effort to encourage U.S. production. Such changes included the imposition of additional tariffs on imported products in an effort to address trade imbalances, specifically with China, the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. In response to such actions, certain countries imposed retaliatory actions against the U.S. NTIC and its subsidiaries and joint ventures engage in sales outside of the United States and is, therefore, negatively impacted by such actions. Any changes or potential changes in trade policies in the United States, including changes made by the Biden administration, and the potential corresponding actions by other countries in which NTIC does business could adversely and materially affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Global credit and financial markets in the past have experienced disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability and rapid fluctuations in market valuations, which, if they happen again, could negatively impact NTIC</i></b>&#x2019;<b><i>s business, operating results, and financial condition. </i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Any tightening of the credit and financial markets could negatively impact the ability of companies to borrow money from their existing lenders, obtain credit from other sources, or raise financing to fund their operations. This could negatively impact the ability of NTIC&#x2019;s customers and the customers of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures to purchase NTIC&#x2019;s products, suppliers&#x2019; ability to provide NTIC and its joint ventures with materials and components, and the ability of NTIC and its joint ventures, distributors, and sales representatives to finance operations, if needed, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any or all of these events could negatively impact NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results, and financial condition. Although NTIC maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers, distributors, and joint ventures to make required payments, and such losses historically have been within NTIC&#x2019;s expectations and the provisions established, NTIC cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same loss rates that it has in the past, especially if there are weaknesses in the worldwide economy. A significant change in the liquidity or financial condition of NTIC&#x2019;s customers, distributors, or joint ventures could cause unfavorable trends in NTIC&#x2019;s receivable collections and additional allowances may be required, which could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s operating results. In addition, weaknesses in the worldwide economy, including the imposition of higher tariffs and withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, may adversely impact the ability of suppliers to provide NTIC with materials and components, which could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business and operating results. NTIC is unable to predict the prospects for a global economic recovery, but the longer the duration of such adverse and uncertain economic conditions, the greater the risks NTIC faces in operating its business.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s success is dependent upon the efforts of a small management team and group of employees. NTIC&#x2019;s future success will depend in large part on its ability to retain its key employees and identify, attract, and retain other highly qualified managerial, technical, research and development, sales and marketing, and customer service personnel when needed. Competition for these individuals may be intense, especially in the markets in which NTIC operates. NTIC may not succeed in identifying, attracting, and retaining these personnel. Inadequate performance by any of NTIC&#x2019;s limited staff could have a negative impact on the performance of the company. In addition, none of NTIC&#x2019;s employees have any contractual obligation to maintain his or her employment with NTIC. The loss or interruption of services of any of NTIC&#x2019;s key personnel, including in particular its technical personnel, the inability to identify, attract, or retain qualified personnel in the future, delays in hiring qualified personnel, or any employee slowdowns, strikes, or similar actions could make it difficult for NTIC to manage its business and meet key objectives, which could harm NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results, and financial condition.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although we have not experienced any material labor shortage to date, we have recently observed an overall tightening and increasingly competitive labor market. A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates within our employee base could lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain employees, and could negatively affect our ability to efficiently operate our manufacturing and distribution facilities and overall business. If we are unable to hire and retain employees capable of performing at a high-level, or if mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease in labor availability, such as overtime and third-party outsourcing, have unintended negative effects, our business could be adversely affected. An overall labor shortage, lack of skilled labor, increased turnover or labor inflation could have a material adverse impact on NTIC&#x2019;s operations, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Many of our employees are approaching retirement age. As these experienced employees retire, we may have difficulty recruiting new employees with comparable qualifications and experience, and we may be unable to transfer our employees&#x2019; institutional knowledge successfully to new qualified employees. Any such failures would be exacerbated at times of peak demand. Our failure to recruit and train new employees and to ensure they obtain the adequate qualifications and experience could result in reduced revenues, loss of customer goodwill and a material negative impact on our results of operations.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s strategy to grow its business, including in particular its ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products for the oil and gas industry and its Natur-Tec&#xae; bio-plastic resin compounds and finished products, requires significant management time and operational and financial resources. There is no assurance that NTIC has the necessary operational and financial resources to manage its growth. This is especially true as it expands facilities and manufactures its products on a larger commercial scale. In addition, rapid growth in NTIC&#x2019;s headcount and operations may place a significant strain on its management, administrative, operational, and financial infrastructure. Failure to adequately manage its growth could have a material and adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results, and financial condition. For example, NTIC&#x2019;s soil side bottom solutions for tanks require implementation teams comprised of both internal NTIC personnel and outside consulting firms. NTIC&#x2019;s failure to expand these implementation teams to service additional customers may limit NTIC&#x2019;s ability to grow this business.

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC conducts business, either directly or indirectly, through several joint venture arrangements that operate in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures manufactures, markets, and sells finished products in the geographic territory that it is assigned. NTIC&#x2019;s receipt of funds as a result of sales by its joint ventures is dependent upon NTIC&#x2019;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales of the individual joint ventures and NTIC&#x2019;s receipt of dividend distributions from its joint ventures based on the profitability of its joint ventures. NTIC&#x2019;s liquidity and financial position in part rely on NTIC&#x2019;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures and dividend distributions from its joint ventures. During fiscal 2022, NTIC recognized $5,085,823 in fees and $5,723,176 in dividend distributions from its joint ventures. Because NTIC owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture entities, NTIC does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in any given year. Thus, NTIC cannot guarantee that any of its joint ventures will pay dividends in any given year. The failure of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures to declare dividends or the failure of NTIC to receive fees for services provided to joint ventures in amounts typically expected by NTIC could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s liquidity and financial position.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">A significant portion of NTIC&#x2019;s earnings results from NTIC&#x2019;s equity income from its joint ventures. NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures consists of NTIC&#x2019;s share of equity in income from its joint ventures based on the overall profitability of the joint ventures. Such profitability varies from quarter to quarter. Since NTIC&#x2019;s management typically receives quarterly joint venture financial information after the completion of each fiscal quarter, it is impossible for NTIC&#x2019;s management to cut costs and expenses to make up for any unanticipated shortfall in NTIC&#x2019;s equity income from joint ventures. Accordingly, the variability in NTIC&#x2019;s equity income from joint ventures, in turn, subjects NTIC&#x2019;s earnings to quarterly fluctuations.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC sells products and services directly, through its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and indirectly, via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors, manufacturer&#x2019;s sales representatives, and agents in over 65&#xa0;countries, including countries in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. One of NTIC&#x2019;s strategic objectives is the continued expansion of its international operations. The expansion of NTIC&#x2019;s existing international operations and entry into additional international markets requires management attention and financial resources.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The sale and shipping of products and services across international borders subjects NTIC to extensive and complicated U.S. and foreign governmental trade regulations. Compliance with such regulations is costly and exposes NTIC to penalties for non-compliance. Other laws and regulations that can significantly impact NTIC include various anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, laws restricting business with suspected terrorists, and anti-boycott laws. Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could impact NTIC in a variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, significant criminal, civil, and administrative penalties, including imprisonment of individuals, fines and penalties, denial of export privileges, seizure of shipments, and restrictions on certain business activities. Also, the failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could result in the disruption of NTIC&#x2019;s shipping and sales activities.</p>

Additionally, the expansion of our existing international operations and entry into additional international markets require significant management attention and financial resources. In many of the countries in which NTIC sells its products directly or indirectly through NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur-Tec Lanka, Zerust Mexico, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam and NTI Asean, its joint ventures, distributors, representatives, and agents are, to some degree, subject to political, economic, and/or social instability. NTIC&#x2019;s international operations expose NTIC and its joint venture partners, distributors, representatives, and agents to risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions.

Although the United Kingdom and the European Union struck a bilateral trade and cooperation deal governing the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, which became effective on May 1, 2021, political and economic uncertainties remain, and it is possible that there will be increased regulatory complexities, which could affect NTIC&#x2019;s ability to sell its products in certain European Union countries and subject NTIC to heightened risks in that region. Any of these effects of Brexit, and other similar referenda that NTIC cannot anticipate, could adversely affect its business, operations, and financial results.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC considers its joint venture in Germany (EXCOR) to be individually significant to NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated assets and income and, therefore, provides certain additional information regarding EXCOR in the notes to NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements and in certain sections of this report. Of the total equity in income from joint ventures of $4,725,918 during fiscal 2022, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $3,236,989 attributable to EXCOR. Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $5,767,682 during fiscal 2022, fees of $834,725 were attributable to EXCOR. Accordingly, if sales of NTIC&#x2019;s products and services by this joint venture were to decline significantly or if NTIC&#x2019;s relationships with this joint venture were to deteriorate significantly such that the joint venture terminated or was not motivated to sell NTIC&#x2019;s products and services, NTIC&#x2019;s operating results likely would be adversely affected. While this is also true with respect to the other joint venture entities of which additional information is provided in NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements and in certain other sections of this report, the significance is not as great as with EXCOR.</p>

It is possible that as part of its succession planning efforts with respect to its joint venture partners that NTIC may complete similar acquisitions in the future. Similar future acquisitions will depend, in part, on the availability of similar opportunities or other suitable acquisition candidates at acceptable prices, terms, and conditions and the availability of capital and personnel resources to complete such acquisitions and run and integrate the acquired business effectively. These acquisitions involve risk and may harm NTIC&#x2019;s business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results. For instance, the benefits of the HNTI acquisition or any future acquisition may take more time than expected to develop or integrate into NTIC&#x2019;s operations, and NTIC cannot guarantee that either the HNTI or any future acquisitions will, in fact, produce any long-term benefits.

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition, effective internal controls are necessary for NTIC to provide reliable and accurate financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. The integration of acquired businesses may result in NTIC&#x2019;s systems and controls becoming increasingly complex and more difficult to manage. NTIC devotes significant resources and time to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, it cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that NTIC designs, implements, and maintains adequate control over its financial processes and reporting in the future, particularly in the context of acquisitions of other businesses. Any difficulties in the assimilation of acquired businesses into NTIC&#x2019;s internal control framework could harm its operating results or cause NTIC to fail to meet its financial reporting obligations. Also, acquisitions require the consent of PNC Bank, National Association under NTIC&#x2019;s loan agreement with PNC Bank. NTIC cannot predict whether such approvals would be forthcoming or the terms on which PNC Bank would approve such acquisitions. These risks, among others, could be heightened if NTIC completes a large acquisition or multiple transactions within a relatively short period of time.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Given the nature of our business and our global operations, political, economic, and other conditions in foreign countries and regions, including geopolitical risks such as the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, may adversely affect our business and results of operations. We have limited operations in Russia and Ukraine, which have been adversely affected by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, though these losses are not expected to have a material impact on our operating results. We terminated our joint venture in Russia in May 2022, which we believe will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition given the immateriality of the joint venture. The broader consequences of this conflict, which may include additional international sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopolitical shifts; increased tensions between the United States and countries in which we operate; and the extent of the conflict&#x2019;s effect on our business and results of operations as well as the global economy, cannot be predicted.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">To the extent the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine adversely affects our business, it may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed herein, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, demand for our products and potential recessionary economic conditions; increased cyber security threats; adverse changes in trade policies, taxes, government regulations, and tariffs; our ability to maintain or increase our prices in response to rising shipping costs; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy, particularly with regard to our joint ventures; disruptions in global supply chains; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The results of operations and future prospects of NTIC China may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in China&#x2019;s political, economic, and social conditions, changes in the relationship between China and its western trade partners, changes in policies of the Chinese government, changes in laws and regulations or in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations, changes in foreign exchange regulations, measures that may be introduced to control inflation, such as interest rate increases, and changes in the rates or methods of taxation. In addition, changes in demand could result from increased competition with local Chinese manufacturers who have cost advantages or who may be preferred suppliers for Chinese end users. Also, Chinese commercial laws, regulations, and interpretations applicable to non-Chinese owned market participants, such as NTIC China, are continually changing. These laws, regulations, and interpretations could impose restrictions on NTIC&#x2019;s and NTIC China&#x2019;s ownership or operations or NTIC&#x2019;s interests in China and could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Local regulations in China related to the electric power shortage that began in 2021 may adversely affect NTIC China&#x2019;s operations or the operations of our suppliers with facilities in China. For example, these regulations could result in partial or complete factory shutdowns due to a lack of continuous supply of electrical power. Additionally, the price of electric power may be increased, and peak-demand periods during which prices are higher may be extended by local governments. Certain of our resin suppliers with facilities in China were adversely impacted by these regulations, which contributed to constrained supply. Although NTIC China&#x2019;s operations have not been significantly impacted by regulations related to electric power shortages to date, such regulations may in the future decrease or shut down production or increase product costs, which could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Chinese commercial law is relatively undeveloped compared to commercial law in many of NTIC&#x2019;s other major markets, and limited protection of intellectual property is available in China as a practical matter. Although NTIC takes precautions in the operation of NTIC China to protect NTIC&#x2019;s intellectual property, any local manufacturer of products that NTIC undertakes in China could subject NTIC to an increased risk that unauthorized parties will be able to copy or otherwise obtain or use NTIC&#x2019;s intellectual property, which could harm NTIC&#x2019;s business. NTIC may also have limited legal recourse in the event it encounters patent or trademark infringers, which could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system may adversely affect the operations of NTIC China.</i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC China is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of laws, rules, and policies in China. The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions have limited precedential value. Because many laws and regulations are relatively new, and the Chinese legal system is still evolving, the interpretations of many laws, regulations, and rules are not always uniform. Moreover, the relative inexperience of China&#x2019;s judiciary in many cases creates additional uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation, and the interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subject to government policies reflecting domestic political agendas. Finally, enforcement of existing laws or contracts based on existing law may be uncertain and sporadic. For the preceding reasons, it may be difficult for NTIC or NTIC China to obtain timely or equitable enforcement of laws ostensibly designed to protect companies like NTIC or NTIC China, which could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b>Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject NTIC to, among other things, penalties and legal expenses that could harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.</b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC is subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, which generally prohibits covered entities and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or other benefits. In addition, the FCPA imposes accounting standards and requirements on U.S. publicly-traded corporations and their foreign affiliates, which are intended to prevent the diversion of corporate funds to the payment of bribes and other improper payments and to prevent the establishment of &#x201c;off books&#x201d; slush funds from which such improper payments can be made. NTIC also is subject to similar anticorruption legislation implemented in Europe under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development&#x2019;s Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. NTIC and its joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, and agents operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential violations of the FCPA and other anticorruption laws, based on measurements such as Transparency International&#x2019;s Corruption Perception Index, and NTIC utilizes a number of joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, and agents for whose actions NTIC could be held liable under the FCPA. NTIC informs its personnel, joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, and agents of the requirements of the FCPA and other anticorruption laws, including, but not limited to, their reporting requirements. NTIC also has developed and will continue to develop and implement systems for formalizing its contracting processes, performing due diligence on agents, and improving its recordkeeping and auditing practices regarding these regulations. However, there is no guarantee that NTIC&#x2019;s employees, joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, or other agents have not or will not engage in conduct undetected by NTIC&#x2019;s processes and for which NTIC might be held responsible under the FCPA or other anticorruption laws.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">If NTIC&#x2019;s employees, joint ventures, distributors, third-party sales representatives, or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, NTIC could suffer severe penalties, including criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement, and other remedial measures, including further changes or enhancements to its procedures, policies, and controls and potential personnel changes and disciplinary actions.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Certain private and foreign companies, including some of NTIC&#x2019;s competitors, are not subject to prohibitions as strict as those under the FCPA or, even if subjected to strict prohibitions, such prohibitions may be laxly enforced in practice. If NTIC&#x2019;s competitors engage in corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft, or other fraudulent practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies or from government officials, giving NTIC&#x2019;s competitors an advantage in securing business and putting NTIC at a disadvantage.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#x2019;s foreign operations is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&#x2019;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Indian Rupee, the Chinese Renminbi, the South Korean Won, and the English Pound against the U.S. dollar. NTIC&#x2019;s fees for services provided to its joint ventures and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies; thus, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in NTIC&#x2019;s earnings. Any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC conducts business, or is contemplating expansion, in developing markets with economies that tend to be more volatile than those in the United States and Western Europe. The risk of doing business in developing markets such as China, Brazil, India, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and other economically volatile areas could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s operations and earnings. Such risks include the financial instability among customers in these regions, political instability, fraud or corruption, and other non-economic factors, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and irregular trade flows that need to be managed successfully with the help of the local governments. In addition, commercial laws in some developing countries can be vague, inconsistently administered, and retroactively applied. If NTIC is deemed not to be in compliance with applicable laws in developing countries where NTIC conducts business, its prospects and business in those countries could be harmed, which could then have a material adverse impact on NTIC&#x2019;s operating results and financial position. NTIC&#x2019;s failure to successfully manage economic, political, and other risks relating to doing business in developing countries and economically and politically volatile areas could adversely affect its business.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>NTIC faces intense competition in almost all of its product lines, including from competitors that have substantially greater resources than NTIC does. No assurance can be provided that NTIC will be able to compete effectively, which would harm its business and operating results.</i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s products are sold in intensely competitive markets throughout the world. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. With respect to its rust and corrosion inhibiting products, NTIC competes on the basis of product innovation, quality, reliability, product support, customer service, reputation, and price. With respect to its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products, NTIC competes on the basis of performance, brand awareness, distribution network, product availability, product offering, shelf life, place of manufacture, and price. NTIC often competes with numerous manufacturers, many of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than NTIC. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly than NTIC to new or emerging technologies, industry trends, and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than NTIC. In addition, competition could increase if new companies enter the markets in which NTIC competes, especially when the barriers to entry are low, which may be true with respect to NTIC&#x2019;s rust and corrosion prevention business, or if existing competitors expand their product lines or intensify efforts within existing product lines. NTIC&#x2019;s current products, products under development, and its ability to develop new and improved products may be insufficient to enable NTIC to compete effectively with its competitors. No assurance can be provided that NTIC will be able to compete effectively, which would harm its business and operating results. In particular, NTIC has experienced more intense competition with respect to many of its traditional ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services, which has led to decreased pricing and smaller margins for NTIC. In fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, NTIC has experienced lower margins on its contracts with Chinese automotive customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in the production of electric vehicles, which have fewer parts that require corrosion inhibiting packaging. NTIC anticipates that such intense competition likely will continue and that new competitors may emerge, including plastic extrusion companies, which would continue to adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s operating results.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services generate a significant portion of NTIC&#x2019;s net sales and the net sales of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures. During fiscal 2022, 77.5% of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services. While the net sales of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures are not included in NTIC&#x2019;s net sales on NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements, NTIC&#x2019;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures and NTIC&#x2019;s receipt of dividend distributions from its joint ventures are based primarily on the revenues and profitability of the joint ventures. Accordingly, if sales of these products and services were to decline due to increased competition, the introduction of a new disruptive technology, or otherwise, NTIC&#x2019;s operating results would be adversely affected.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">One of NTIC&#x2019;s strategies is to enhance its existing products and develop and market new products that respond to customer needs. NTIC may not be able to compete effectively with its competitors unless NTIC can keep up with existing or new products or alternative technologies in the markets in which it competes. Product development requires significant research and development, financial, and other resources. Although in the past NTIC has implemented lean manufacturing and other productivity improvement initiatives to provide investment funding for new products, no assurance can be provided that NTIC will be able to continue to do so in the future. Product improvements and new product introductions also require significant planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels, and NTIC may not be able to timely develop product improvements or new products. NTIC&#x2019;s competitors&#x2019; new products may beat NTIC&#x2019;s products to market, may be more effective or less expensive than NTIC&#x2019;s products, or may render NTIC&#x2019;s products obsolete. Any new products that NTIC may develop may not receive market acceptance or otherwise generate any meaningful net sales or profits for NTIC relative to its expectations, based on, among other things, existing and anticipated investments in manufacturing capacity and commitments to fund advertising, marketing, promotional programs, and research and development.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">In an effort to increase net sales, NTIC has expanded the marketing of its corrosion prevention solutions into the oil and gas industry and its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products.&#xa0; NTIC expects to continue to invest additional research and development and marketing efforts and resources into these strategic initiatives.&#xa0; No assurance can be provided, however, that such strategic initiatives will be successful or that NTIC will be successful in obtaining additional revenue as a result of them.&#xa0; The introduction of new products into new markets takes significant resources, and there can be no assurance that NTIC is dedicating a sufficient amount of resources to ensure the success of these strategic initiatives.&#xa0; The sale of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services into the oil and gas industry, in particular, typically involves a long sales cycle, often including a one- to multi-year trial period with each customer and a slow integration process thereafter.&#xa0; This long sales cycle may cause NTIC&#x2019;s management, stockholders, and investors to lose faith in the business opportunities for NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, projects NTIC completes for oil and gas industry customers typically involve short turnaround times, and failure to meet these expectations could damage NTIC&#x2019;s ability to successfully promote its corrosion prevention solutions into the oil and gas industry.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC uses third-party manufacturers to produce the majority of its products.&#xa0; In addition, NTIC relies upon certain contractors for logistical services.&#xa0; Although NTIC&#x2019;s arrangements with its contract manufacturers and contractors may contain provisions for warranty expense reimbursement, NTIC may remain responsible to its customers for warranty service in the event of product defects and could experience an unanticipated&#xa0;product defect&#xa0;or warranty liability.&#xa0; In addition, product defects could harm NTIC&#x2019;s reputation amongst its customers.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although there is a developed market for petroleum-based plastics, the market for &#x201c;bioplastics&#x201d; which are plastics produced with bio-based resins, which are derived from renewable resources such as corn or cellulosic/plant material or blends thereof, or plastics that are engineered to be fully biodegradable or both, is still developing.&#xa0; The commercial success of NTIC&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products depends on the widespread market acceptance of products manufactured with bio-based and biodegradable resins, which may result, in part, from government action at the federal, state or local level. For example, in June 2022, the State of California passed a law intended to reduce single-use plastics. Internationally, the government of India recently announced a phased ban on the manufacture and sale of single-use plastics beginning in July 2022. Similarly, in January 2021, China implemented a ban on single-use plastic utensils, bags and certain other single-use plastic items. Despite these efforts and other measures taken at the federal, state and local levels, including policies related to the collection of organics, it is currently difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the potential size, timing, and viability of market opportunities for NTIC&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products.&#xa0; The traditional plastics market sector is well-established with entrenched competitors with whom NTIC competes.&#xa0; Pricing for traditional plastics has been highly volatile in recent years, which drives, to some extent, the commercial and other support for bioplastics.&#xa0; While NTIC expects to be able to command a premium price for its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products, a widening gap in the pricing for bioplastics versus petroleum-based plastics may reduce the size of the addressable market for NTIC&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products.&#xa0; In addition, the growth of the market will create some pressure on price for applications today considered commodities, including in particular NTIC&#x2019;s current Natur-Tec&#xae; finished products.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition to its direct sales force, NTIC relies on its joint ventures, distributors, manufacturer&#x2019;s sales representatives, and other agents to market and sell its products in the United States and internationally. NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures, distributors, manufacturer&#x2019;s sales representatives, and other agents might terminate their relationship with NTIC or devote insufficient sales efforts to NTIC&#x2019;s products. NTIC does not control its joint ventures, distributors, manufacturer&#x2019;s sales representatives, and other agents, and they may not be successful in implementing NTIC&#x2019;s marketing plans. NTIC&#x2019;s failure to maintain its existing relationships with these entities, or its failure to recruit and retain additional skilled joint venture partners, distributors, manufacturer&#x2019;s sales representatives, and other agents, could have an adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s operations. It is anticipated that several of NTIC&#x2019;s joint venture partners will retire during the next several years, which will require a transition on the part of the joint venture as well as NTIC and could harm NTIC&#x2019;s relationship with the joint venture and NTIC&#x2019;s business.</p>

To mitigate the ramifications of such an occurrence, NTIC maintains liability insurance specifically applicable to its ownership positions in its joint venture arrangements in excess of any insurance the joint ventures may maintain. No assurance can be provided, however, that such insurance will be available or adequate in the event of a claim.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Seasonality of Installations: </i></b>In the past, NTIC has experienced some seasonality with respect to the sale of its ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products into the oil and gas industry, with sales during parts of the second and third fiscal quarters being adversely affected by winter in the United States.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Fluctuations of Crude Oil Prices:</i></b> The sale of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products into the oil and gas industry, particularly in the United States, has historically been hampered by low/unstable global crude oil prices. Although the price of crude oil neared an all-time high in fiscal 2022, low global crude oil prices have been and may in the future be caused OPEC decisions and other macroeconomic factors affecting supply and demand. NTIC believes low global crude oil prices constrain capital improvement budgets of its existing and prospective customers and may result in personnel turnover at its oil and gas customers or prospects. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated tensions between Russia and other countries, some of which have imposed sanctions and taken other economic actions that have contributed to, and are expected to continue to contribute to, rising global crude oil prices, which prices had already risen substantially due to inflationary pressures. Additional international sanctions against Russia may be imposed, which could further increase these costs. NTIC believes the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the continued impact of high rates of inflation may create uncertainty among its existing and prospective customers, which may cause them to halt oil and gas projects or elect to decrease capital improvement budgets, either of which could harm NTIC&#x2019;s ability to sell its products into the oil and gas industry.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Global Events:</i></b> The sale of Zerust Oil &amp; Gas solutions to Oil &amp; Gas sector clients is impacted by events like the COVID pandemic and geopolitical tensions in key oil producing regions like the Middle East. These affect the ability of the teams to have face-to-face meetings, travel for site surveys and implementations, etc., with the added effect of potential supply chain delays/impacts that could delay or postpone sales.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Regulatory Guidelines:</i></b> The Oil &amp; Gas sector is very conservative and, in addition to long-term trials on-site, client decision makers typically default to guidelines from the American Petroleum Institute (API), Association of Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), European Committee for the Study of Corrosion (CEOCOR), etc. Getting a new technology/solution approach included in these guidelines typically takes years of committee lobbying, client support, field trials and lab validation. The Zerust solutions have been included in several technical reports/committees from these groups though getting full validation is likely to take a few more years.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s business, properties, and products are subject to a wide variety of international, federal, state, and local laws, rules, taxes, and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, natural resources, and worker health and safety and the use, management, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes, and other regulated materials. These laws, rules, and regulations may affect the way NTIC conducts its operations, and the failure to comply with these regulations could lead to fines and other penalties. These laws, rules, and regulations may be subject to change by the Biden administration, which has stalled construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and may in the future take action to further restrict such activities. Additionally, new environmental laws, rules, and regulations, such as certain provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which includes measures to reduce emissions, may be enacted, which may adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business. Further, because NTIC owns and operates real property, various environmental laws also may impose liability on NTIC for the costs of cleaning up and responding to hazardous substances that may have been released on NTIC&#x2019;s property, including releases unknown to NTIC. These environmental laws and regulations also could require NTIC to pay for environmental remediation and response costs at third-party locations where NTIC disposed of or recycled hazardous substances. NTIC&#x2019;s future costs of complying with the various environmental requirements, as they now exist or may be altered in the future, could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s financial condition and operating results. NTIC is also subject to other international, federal, and state laws, rules, and regulations, the future non-compliance with which may harm NTIC&#x2019;s business or may adversely affect the demand for some of its products. Changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards and taxation changes, including tax rate changes, new tax laws, including the changes to U.S. federal tax laws included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, such as a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases, and revised tax law interpretations, also may adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s operating results.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Fluctuations in NTIC</i></b>&#x2019;<b><i>s effective tax rate could have a significant impact on NTIC</i></b>&#x2019;<b><i>s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.</i></b></p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The mix of pre-tax income or loss among the tax jurisdictions in which NTIC operates, which have varying tax rates, could impact NTIC&#x2019;s effective tax rate. NTIC is subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management&#x2019;s assessment. NTIC operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. NTIC also has made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions or jurisdictional regulations could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by NTIC&#x2019;s income tax provisions and accruals.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The manufacture, sale, and use of NTIC&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; bio-plastic resin compounds are subject to regulation by the U.S.&#xa0;FDA. The FDA&#x2019;s regulations are concerned with substances used indirectly in food packaging materials, not with specific finished food packaging products. Thus, food and beverage containers are in compliance with FDA regulations if the components used in the food and beverage containers: (i) are approved by the FDA as indirect food additives for their intended uses and comply with the applicable FDA indirect food additive regulations; or (ii) are generally recognized as safe for their intended uses and are of suitable purity for those intended uses. NTIC believes that its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds comply with all FDA requirements. However, failure to comply with FDA regulations could subject NTIC to administrative, civil, or criminal penalties.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">If there were a change in accounting rules and NTIC were required to fully consolidate its joint ventures or if NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures otherwise would be required to be consolidated with NTIC, NTIC and the individual joint venture would incur significant additional costs. In addition, other accounting pronouncements issued in the future could have a material cost associated with NTIC&#x2019;s implementation of such new accounting pronouncements.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>NTIC</i></b>&#x2019;<b><i>s reliance upon patents, trademark laws, trade secrets, and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary rights may not be sufficient to protect its intellectual property from others who may sell similar products.</i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC holds patents relating to various aspects of its products and believes that proprietary technical know-how is critical to many of its products. Proprietary rights relating to NTIC&#x2019;s products are protected from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that they are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are maintained in confidence as trade secrets. NTIC cannot be certain that it will be issued any patents from any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to NTIC or that the claims allowed under any issued patents will be sufficiently broad to protect its technology. In the absence of patent protection, NTIC may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy NTIC&#x2019;s products or gain access to its trade secrets and know-how. NTIC&#x2019;s competitors may initiate litigation to challenge the validity of NTIC&#x2019;s patents, or they may use their resources to design comparable products that do not infringe NTIC&#x2019;s patents. NTIC may incur substantial costs if its competitors initiate litigation to challenge the validity of its patents or if it initiates any proceedings to protect its proprietary rights, and if the outcome of any such litigation is unfavorable to NTIC, its business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition, NTIC relies substantially on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that it seeks to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with its employees and consultants. These agreements may be breached, and NTIC may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Even if these confidentiality agreements are not breached, NTIC&#x2019;s trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The number of shares of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock being traded daily is often very low, and on some trading days, there is no trading volume at all. During fiscal 2022, the daily trading volume ranged from 0 shares to 40,600 shares. Any NTIC stockholder wishing to sell his, her, or its stock may cause a significant fluctuation in the trading price of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock. In addition, low trading volume of a stock increases the possibility that, despite rules against such activity, the price of the stock may be manipulated by persons acting in their own self-interest. NTIC may not have adequate market makers and market making activity to prevent manipulation in its common stock.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>The price and trading volume of NTIC</i></b>&#x2019;<b><i>s common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile.</i></b></p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The market price and trading volume of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock price historically has fluctuated over a wide range. During fiscal 2022, the sale price of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock ranged from a low of $9.05 per share to a high of $18.00 per share, and the daily trading volume ranged from 0 shares to 40,600 shares. It is likely that the price and trading volume of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock will continue to fluctuate in the future. The securities of small capitalization companies, including NTIC, from time-to-time experience significant price and volume fluctuations, often unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Securities class action litigation is sometimes brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities or for other reasons. NTIC may become the target of similar litigation, especially if NTIC fails to meet its annual projected financial guidance or lowers its annual projected financial guidance. Securities litigation, whether with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and divert management&#x2019;s attention and resources, which could harm NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results, and financial condition as well as the market price of its common stock.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">As of November 14, 2022, NTIC had 9,366,357 shares of common stock outstanding, 22.4% of which were beneficially owned by directors, executive officers, principal stockholders, and their respective affiliates. The stock of companies with a substantial amount of stock held by insiders is usually not as liquid as the stock of other public companies where insider ownership is not as concentrated. Thus, the trading market for shares of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock may not be as liquid as the stock of other public companies.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The trading market for NTIC&#x2019;s common stock has been influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about NTIC or its business. If one or more analysts who cover NTIC downgrade NTIC&#x2019;s common stock, the market price for NTIC&#x2019;s common stock would likely decline. If one or more cease coverage of NTIC or fail to regularly publish reports on NTIC, NTIC could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for NTIC&#x2019;s common stock to decline.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">As of November 14, 2022, Inter Alia Holding Company, or Inter Alia, beneficially owned approximately 12.8% of NTIC&#x2019;s outstanding common stock. Inter Alia is an entity partially owned by G. Patrick Lynch, NTIC&#x2019;s President and Chief Executive Officer and director, as well as two other members of the Lynch family. Mr. Lynch shares voting and dispositive power of shares of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock held by Inter Alia with the other owners. As a result of his share ownership through Inter Alia and his position as President and Chief Executive Officer and director of NTIC, Mr.&#xa0;Lynch may be able to influence the affairs and actions of NTIC, including matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The interests of Mr. Lynch and Inter Alia may differ from the interests of NTIC&#x2019;s other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change in control of NTIC, could deprive NTIC&#x2019;s stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale or merger of NTIC, and may negatively affect the market price of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock. Transactions that could be affected by this concentration of ownership include proxy contests, tender offers, mergers, or other purchases of common stock that could give stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for shares of NTIC&#x2019;s common stock.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Climate change resulting from increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may have an adverse impact on global temperatures, weather patterns and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires or flooding. Climate change may also cause water shortages, changes in rainfall and storm patterns, changes in sea levels and other negative weather and climate patterns. Such weather conditions could pose physical risks to our facilities and disrupt operation of our supply chain and may impact operational costs.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The increasing global focus on climate change and the need for corporate change also may lead to new regional, federal, and/or global legal and regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases. Inconsistency of regulations in the countries in which we operate may affect the costs of compliance with such legal or regulatory requirements. Additionally, in the event that such regulation is enacted and is more aggressive than the sustainability measures that we are currently undertaking to monitor our emissions and improve our energy efficiently, we may be subject to curtailment or reduced access to resources or experience significant increases in our costs of operation and delivery. As a result, climate change could negatively affect our business and operations.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition, public company stockholders are increasingly sensitive to the climate change impacts and mitigation efforts of companies, are increasingly seeking enhanced disclosure on the risks, challenges, governance implications, and financial impacts of climate change faced by companies and are demanding that companies take a proactive approach to addressing perceived environmental risks, including risks associated with climate change, relating to their operations. In an effort to increase climate change disclosure, the SEC proposed climate disclosure rules that would require new climate-related disclosure in SEC filings, as described below. Adverse publicity or climate-related litigation that may result from such enhanced disclosure or stockholder perception could have a negative impact on our business.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During fiscal 2022, the SEC proposed new climate disclosure rules, which if adopted, would require new climate-related disclosure in SEC filings, including certain climate-related metrics and greenhouse gas emissions data, information about climate-related targets and goals, transition plans, if any, and extensive attestation requirements. In addition to requiring filers to quantify and disclose direct emissions data, the new rules also would require disclosure of climate impact arising from the operations and uses by the filer&#x2019;s business partners and contractors and end-users of the filer&#x2019;s products and/or services. We are currently assessing the impact of the new rules, if adopted as proposed, but at this time, we cannot predict the costs of implementation or any potential adverse impacts resulting from the new rules if adopted. However, we may incur increased costs relating to the assessment and disclosure of climate-related risks and increased litigation risks related to disclosures made pursuant to the new rules, either of which could materially and adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.</p>

Furthermore, NTIC&#x2019;s customers and raw material suppliers&#x2019; operations have been and could in the future be adversely affected by such hurricanes and other extreme or seasonal weather conditions.

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The efficient operation of NTIC&#x2019;s business is dependent on its management information systems. NTIC relies on its management information systems to effectively manage accounting and financial functions; manage order entry, order fulfillment, and inventory replenishment processes; and to maintain its research and development data. The failure of management information systems to perform as anticipated could disrupt NTIC&#x2019;s business and product development and could result in decreased sales, causing NTIC&#x2019;s business and operating results to suffer. In addition, NTIC&#x2019;s management information systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural or man-made disasters, including terrorist attacks, attacks by computer viruses or hackers, power loss to computer systems, Internet outages, and telecommunications or data network failure. Any such interruption could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business and operating results.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In the ordinary course of NTIC&#x2019;s business, NTIC uses its management information systems to store and access proprietary business information. NTIC faces various&#xa0;cyber security threats, including&#xa0;cyber security&#xa0;attacks to its information technology infrastructure and attempts by others to gain access to its proprietary or sensitive information. The procedures and controls NTIC uses to monitor these threats and mitigate its exposure may not be sufficient to prevent cyber security&#xa0;incidents. The result of these incidents could include disrupted operations, lost opportunities, misstated financial data, liability for stolen assets or information, increased costs arising from the implementation of additional security protective measures, litigation, and reputational damage. Any remedial costs or other liabilities related to cyber security&#xa0;incidents may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Additionally, on February 9, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules related to cyber security risk management, which may increase NTIC&#x2019;s regulatory burden and cost of compliance related to cyber security threats.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s quarterly operating results vary from quarter to quarter for a variety of reasons. For example, NTIC&#x2019;s quarterly sales to joint ventures can be affected by individual orders to joint ventures. Because of the typical size of individual orders to joint ventures and the overall size of NTIC&#x2019;s net sales to joint ventures, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#x2019;s quarterly sales to joint ventures and the comparisons to prior year quarters. In addition, because of the typical size of individual orders and the overall size of NTIC&#x2019;s net sales derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#x2019;s quarterly sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products and the comparisons to prior year quarters. Furthermore, since ZERUST&#xae; products for the oil and gas industry typically carry higher margins than other traditional ZERUST&#xae; products, the amount of sales of ZERUST&#xae; products for the oil and gas industry typically affects NTIC&#x2019;s overall margins. Such variability in operating results makes the prediction of NTIC&#x2019;s net sales, earnings, and other operating results for each quarter difficult and increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly operating results. NTIC&#x2019;s quarterly results have been and, in the future, may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC develops and markets proprietary, environmentally beneficial products and services in over 65 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. NTIC&#x2019;s primary business is corrosion prevention products and services, marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#xae; brand. NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#xae; products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for almost 50 years and, more recently, has also expanded into the oil and gas industry. Additionally, NTIC markets and sells a portfolio of proprietary bio-based and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under the Natur-Tec&#xae; brand. These products are intended to reduce NTIC&#x2019;s customers&#x2019; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound waste disposal options.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; 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&#x2019;s technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; 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&#xae; corrosion prevention solutions through a network of independent distributors and agents supported by a direct sales force.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Internationally, NTIC sells its ZERUST&#xae; corrosion prevention solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), starting September 1, 2021 its wholly-owned subsidiary in India, HNTI Ltd., its majority-owned joint venture holding company for NTIC&#x2019;s joint venture investments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), certain majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. NTIC also sells products directly to its European joint venture partners through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany, NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe).</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">One of NTIC&#x2019;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets for its ZERUST&#xae; corrosion prevention technologies.&#xa0; 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.&#xa0; NTIC believes that its ZERUST&#xae; 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 leaks caused by corrosion.&#xa0;NTIC markets and sells its ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion prevention solutions to customers in the oil and gas industry in a continuously increasing number of countries either directly, through its subsidiaries, or through its joint venture partners and other strategic partners.&#xa0; The sale of ZERUST&#xae; 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>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Natur-Tec&#xae; bio-based and compostable plastics are manufactured using NTIC&#x2019;s patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics. The Natur-Tec&#xae; 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, branded apparel packaging bags and accessories, and various foodservice items, such as disposable cutlery, drinking straws, food-handling gloves, and coated paper products. In North America, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec&#xae; 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&#xae; bioplastic products.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC has ownership interests in 10 operating subsidiaries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, which are listed in &#x201c;<i>Part I. Item 1. Business</i>&#x201d; of this annual report on Form 10-K. The results of these subsidiaries are fully consolidated in NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements, including HNTI Limited, which was consolidated commencing September 1, 2021. On September 21, 2021, NTIC announced that it acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in its Indian joint venture, HNTI Limited, for $6.25 million in cash, effective as of September 1, 2021. As a result of the acquisition of Zerust India, NTIC&#x2019;s revenues and operating expenses increased and its equity in income from joint ventures decreased during fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021. See Note 3 to NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for a discussion of Zerust India.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC participates in 16 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. NTIC has historically funded its investments in joint ventures with cash generated from operations. NTIC&#x2019;s receives funds from its joint ventures as fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures 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&#x2019;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&#x2019;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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC accounts for the investments and financial results of its joint ventures in its consolidated financial statements utilizing the equity method of accounting. NTIC considers EXCOR to be individually significant to NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated assets and income as of August 31, 2022 and 2021. Therefore, NTIC provides certain additional information regarding this entity in the notes to NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements and in this section of this report. Additional information related to NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures is available in &#x201c;<i>Part I. Item 1. Business</i>&#x201d; of this annual report on Form 10-K.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and shipping, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets and resulted in weakened economic conditions. While as part of efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, federal, state, local and foreign governments imposed various restrictions on the conduct of business and travel during 2020 and 2021, most of these restrictions have been lifted, except in China where many remain in place. Because of these restrictions, NTIC continued to experience softened demand for its products in China during fiscal 2022.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Worldwide supply chain disruptions, which were initially brought about by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, have persisted despite the recovery in the global economy and financial markets. These issues continued during fiscal 2022 and, although these issues have shown some improvement, are expected to continue to some degree in fiscal 2023. NTIC has experienced longer lead times for raw materials, has been forced to find new suppliers of certain raw materials, and has experienced raw material cost increases compared to prior fiscal years. Additionally, NTIC has experienced significantly longer shipping times and significant price increases per shipping container compared to prior fiscal years due to ocean freight capacity issues resulting from increased demand for shipping and reduced capacity and equipment. These and other issues resulting from worldwide supply chain disruptions have recently improved but are expected to continue to some degree in fiscal 2023 and could continue to have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition. The precise financial impact and duration, however, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b>Sales and Expense Components</b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The following is a description of the primary components of net sales and expenses:</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Net Sales, Excluding Joint Ventures</i></b>. NTIC derives net sales from the sale of its ZERUST&#xae; products and services and its Natur-Tec&#xae; products. NTIC sells its ZERUST&#xae; products and services and its Natur-Tec&#xae; products either directly, through its subsidiaries, or via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. Net sales, excluding joint ventures represents net sales by NTIC either directly to end users or to distributors worldwide, but not sales to NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures and not sales by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures. NTIC recognizes revenue from the sale of its products primarily upon shipment of the products.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Net Sales, To Joint Ventures</i></b>. Net sales, to joint ventures represents net sales by NTIC to NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures, but not sales by NTIC either directly to end users or to distributors or sales by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures. NTIC&#x2019;s revenue recognition policy for sales to its joint ventures is the same as NTIC&#x2019;s policy for sales to unaffiliated customers. NTIC recognizes revenue from the sale of its products to joint ventures primarily upon shipment of the products.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i></b>. Most of NTIC&#x2019;s products are manufactured by third parties, and its cost of goods sold for those products consists primarily of the price invoiced by its third-party vendors. For the portion of products that NTIC manufactures, NTIC&#x2019;s cost of goods sold for those products consists primarily of direct labor, allocated manufacturing overhead, raw materials, and components. NTIC&#x2019;s margins on its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products are generally smaller than its margins on its ZERUST&#xae; products and services, and NTIC&#x2019;s margins on its ZERUST&#xae; products and services sold into the oil and gas industry are generally greater than its margins on its traditional ZERUST&#xae; products and services.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures</i></b>. NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures consists of NTIC&#x2019;s share of equity in income from each joint venture based on the overall profitability of the joint ventures. Such profitability is subject to variability from quarter to quarter, which, in turn, subjects NTIC&#x2019;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. Traditionally, a portion of the equity income recorded in a given fiscal year is paid to the owners of the joint venture entity during the following fiscal year through a dividend. The payment of a dividend by a joint venture entity is determined by a vote of the joint venture owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC. NTIC typically owns only 50% or less of its joint venture entities and, thus, does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in a given year.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures</i></b>. NTIC provides certain services to its joint ventures, including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical, and marketing services based on licensing or other agreements with its joint ventures. NTIC receives fees for these services it provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures, the latter of which are not included in NTIC&#x2019;s net sales reflected on NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations. The fees for services received by NTIC from its joint ventures are generally determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to EXCOR, NTIC receives an agreed upon fixed quarterly fee for such services. Under NTIC&#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures in which the fees for services are described, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation of the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by NTIC.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Selling Expenses</i></b>. Selling expenses consist primarily of sales commissions and support costs for NTIC&#x2019;s direct sale and distribution system and marketing costs.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>General and Administrative Expenses</i></b>. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits and other costs for NTIC&#x2019;s executives, accounting, stock-based compensation, finance, legal, information technology, and human resources functions.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Research and Development Expenses</i></b>. Research and development expenses include costs associated with the design, development, market analysis, lab testing, and field trials and enhancements of NTIC&#x2019;s products and services. NTIC expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses reflect the net amount after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts. With respect to such research and development contracts, NTIC accrues proceeds received under the contracts and offsets research and development expenses incurred in equal installments over the timelines associated with completion of the contracts&#x2019; specific objectives and milestones.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Remeasurement Gain on Acquisition of Equity Method Investee. </i></b>Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee consists of the gain resulting from the acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest of Zerust India.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Interest Income</i></b>. Interest income consists of interest earned on investments, which typically consist of investment-grade, interest-bearing securities and money market accounts.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Interest Expense</i></b>. Interest expense results primarily from interest associated with any borrowings under NTIC&#x2019;s line of credit with PNC Bank.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Income Tax Expense</i></b>. Income tax expense includes federal income taxes, foreign withholding taxes, income tax of consolidated entities in foreign jurisdictions, state income tax, and changes to NTIC&#x2019;s deferred tax valuation allowance. NTIC utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. NTIC records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. NTIC makes this determination based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The increase in NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales derived from sales of ZERUST&#xae; products and services was primarily a result of $9,967,464 in incremental sales as a result of the Zerust India acquisition, increased sales to new and existing customers due to increased global demand and targeted price increases on certain products, partially offset by decreased demand in the automotive industry and a decrease in joint venture net sales, including in particular in Europe which has been subject to geopolitical uncertainty. Overall, demand for ZERUST&#xae; 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. Beginning in fiscal 2021 and continuing in fiscal 2022, the automotive industry experienced a microchip shortage that has decreased the production of vehicles. This decreased production has decreased demand for ZERUST&#xae; products and services within the automotive industry. The microchip shortage and the corresponding decrease in the production of vehicles is anticipated to continue into fiscal 2023.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">ZERUST&#xae; oil and gas net sales increased 21.5% during fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 primarily as a result of new opportunities with new customers, partially offset by reduced demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#xae; 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&#x2019;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size of NTIC&#x2019;s net sales derived from sales of oil and gas products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#x2019;s quarterly sales compared to prior fiscal year quarters.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During fiscal 2022, 22.5% of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products, compared to 19.4% during fiscal 2021. Sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products increased 52.7% to $16,699,508 during fiscal 2022 compared to $10,939,385 during fiscal 2021 as a result of increased global demand. The COVID pandemic has adversely impacted demand for Natur-Tec&#xae; products from across the apparel industry, as well as many large users of bioplastics, including college campuses, stadiums, arenas, restaurants, and corporate office complexes. NTIC has experienced a recovery in many of these areas to pre-pandemic levels, but still expects some of these customers will be the last businesses to fully re-open and operate at full pre-pandemic capacities, and accordingly, anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely affect sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products into fiscal 2023.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i>. Cost of goods sold increased 38.4% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 primarily as a result of the increase in net sales, as described above, and price increases on raw materials used in NTIC&#x2019;s products, as well as increased labor and shipping costs. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 68.9% during fiscal 2022 compared to 65.4% during fiscal 2021 primarily due to price increases on raw materials used in NTIC&#x2019;s products, as well as increased labor and shipping costs. Although NTIC has taken certain actions to address inflationary pressures and pass on as much of the related cost increases to its customers as possible, it expects some of these inflationary pressures to persist into fiscal 2023. Some improvements from these actions as well as some improvements in gross margin were realized during the second half of fiscal 2022.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures decreased 36.7% to $4,725,918 during fiscal 2022 compared to $7,465,214 during fiscal 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that Zerust India is now a consolidated subsidiary within NTIC&#x2019;s financial statements and an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in gross margins at the joint ventures. NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures fluctuates based on net sales and profitability of the joint ventures during the respective periods. Of the total equity in income from joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $3,236,989 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2022 compared to $4,400,403 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2021. NTIC had equity in income of all other joint ventures of $1,488,929 during fiscal 2022 compared to $3,064,811 during fiscal 2021.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures</i>. NTIC recognized fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $5,767,682 during fiscal 2022 compared to $5,964,260 during fiscal 2021, representing a decrease of 3.3%, or $196,578. Fee income for services provided to joint ventures is traditionally a function of the sales made by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures; however, at various joint ventures, the fee income for services is a fixed amount that does not fluctuate with the increases in sales which was experienced by certain joint ventures during fiscal 2022. Additionally, during fiscal 2022, NTI Asean recovered $681,859 in previously written-off fees related to the termination of its joint venture in China in fiscal 2015, which partially offset decreased fees for services provided to joint ventures during fiscal 2022. Total net sales of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures decreased $16,876,802 to $104,077,748 during fiscal 2022 compared to $120,954,550 during fiscal 2021, representing a decrease of 14.0%. This decrease was primarily a result of decreased demand during fiscal 2022 due in part to geopolitical uncertainty and the Zerust India acquisition since its sales were included in NTIC&#x2019;s net sales in fiscal 2022 but not fiscal 2021. Net sales of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures are not included in NTIC&#x2019;s product sales and are not included in NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements. Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures, fees of $834,725 were attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2022 compared to $920,902 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2021.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Selling Expenses</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s selling expenses increased 8.5% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 due primarily to incremental expenses due to the Zerust India acquisition, as well as an increase in travel and personnel expenses compared to the expenses incurred during fiscal 2021. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 17.6% for fiscal 2022 compared to 21.3% in fiscal 2021 primarily due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by the increased selling expenses, as previously described.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>General and Administrative Expenses</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s general and administrative expenses increased 28.3% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 primarily due to incremental expenses due to the Zerust India acquisition and transaction expenses incurred to complete the acquisition, as well as increased travel and personnel expenses compared to the expenses incurred during fiscal 2021. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 14.3% for fiscal 2022 from 14.6% for fiscal 2021 primarily due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Research and Development Expenses</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s research and development expenses increased 8.5% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 primarily due to increased personnel and development efforts.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Interest Income</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s interest income decreased to $49,241 in fiscal 2022 compared to $151,875 in fiscal 2021 due primarily to changes to the invested cash balances.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Interest Expense</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s interest expense increased to $89,096 in fiscal 2022 compared to $16,086 in fiscal 2021 due primarily to increased outstanding borrowings under the line of credit during fiscal 2022 and increased interest rates during fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Remeasurement Gain on Acquisition of Equity Method Investee</i>. Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquisition at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, since NTIC acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest of Zerust India effective September 1, 2021, NTIC recognized a gain of $3,951,550 during fiscal 2022. This gain is included in &#x201c;Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee&#x201d; on NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Income Before Income Tax Expense</i>. NTIC had income before income tax expense of $9,059,770 for fiscal 2022 compared to income before income tax expense of $8,458,642 for fiscal 2021.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Income Tax Expense</i>. Income tax expense was $1,873,836 during fiscal 2022 compared to $1,461,905 during fiscal 2021 for an effective tax rate of 20.7% and 17.3%, respectively.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC considers the earnings of certain foreign joint ventures to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of estimates that NTIC&#x2019;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 $21,256,923 and $24,702,778 as of August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021, respectively. To the extent undistributed earnings of NTIC&#x2019;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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Net Income Attributable to NTIC</i>. Net income attributable to NTIC was $6,324,700, or $0.66 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2022 compared to net income attributable to NTIC of $6,281,238, or $0.64 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2021, an increase of $43,462 or $0.02 per diluted share. This increase was primarily due an increase in gross margin and the remeasurement gain related to the acquisition of Zerust India of $3,951,550 included in &#x201c;Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee&#x201d; on NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations, partially offset by increases in operating expenses and cost of goods sold and decreases in joint venture income contribution.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC anticipates that its earnings will continue to be adversely affected by both the COVID-19 pandemic and worldwide supply disruptions, among other factors. Additionally, NTIC anticipates that its quarterly net income will continue to remain subject to significant volatility primarily due to the financial performance of its subsidiaries and joint ventures, sales of its ZERUST&#xae; products and services into the oil and gas industry, and sales of its Natur-Tec&#xae; bioplastics products, which sales fluctuate more on a quarterly basis than the traditional ZERUST&#xae; business.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Other Comprehensive Income </i>&#x2013;<i> Foreign Currency Translations Adjustment</i>. The changes in the foreign currency translations adjustment were due to the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and other foreign currencies during fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Sources of Cash and Working Capital</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $23,169,480 as of August 31, 2022, including $5,333,890 in cash and cash equivalents and $5,590 in available for sale securities, compared to $25,230,893 as of August 31, 2021, including $7,680,641 in cash and cash equivalents and $4,634 in available for sale securities.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC has a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank of $7,000,000, which was increased from $5,000,000 effective as of May 20, 2022 to allow for financial flexibility, and was scheduled to decrease back to $5,000,000 effective as of August 16, 2022. Subsequently, to maintain future financial flexibility, on August 8, 2022, NTIC and PNC Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note and agreed to keep the line of credit at $7,000,000 until its maturity date, January 7, 2023. As of August 31, 2022, $5,900,000 was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, compared to no borrowings outstanding as of August 31, 2021. Such outstanding borrowings were used primarily to fund NTIC&#x2019;s acquisition of the remaining ownership interest of Zerust India. Outstanding advances under the line of credit bear interest at the daily Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) rate plus 250 basis points (2.50%). The line of credit is scheduled to mature on January 7, 2023. The line of credit is governed under an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated August 31, 2021. 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, NTIC is subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00. As of August 31, 2022, NTIC was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. As of August 31, 2022, NTIC did not have any letters of credit outstanding with respect to the letter of credit sub-facility available under the revolving line of credit with PNC Bank.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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. In fiscal 2023, NTIC expects to continue to invest directly and through its use of working capital in Zerust India, NTIC China, Zerust Mexico, NTI Europe, its joint ventures, research and development, marketing efforts, resources for the application of its corrosion prevention technology in the oil and gas industry, and its Natur-Tec&#xae; bio-plastics business, although the amounts of these various investments are not known at this time.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC also expects to use some of its capital resources to continue to transition some of its joint ventures as needed or appropriate, which may include additional acquisitions by NTIC of the remaining ownership interests of joint ventures not owned by NTIC or dissolutions or liquidations of one or more of its joint ventures. NTIC terminated its joint venture in Russia in May 2022. The termination of NTIC&#x2019;s joint venture in Russia did not have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s results of operations or financial condition or its joint venture operations given the immateriality of the operations of this joint venture.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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&#x2019;s new technology investments and capital contributions to new and existing subsidiaries and joint ventures. NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures traditionally have operated with little or no debt and have been self-financed with minimal initial capital investment and minimal additional capital investment from their respective owners. Therefore, NTIC believes there is limited exposure by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures that could materially impact their respective operations and/or liquidity.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In order to take advantage of new product and market opportunities to expand its business and increase its revenues and assist with joint venture transitions, NTIC may decide to finance such opportunities by additional borrowings 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&#x2019;s current stockholders.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Uses of Cash and Cash Flow.</i> Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2022 was $1,146,078, which resulted principally from NTIC&#x2019;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation and increases in accounts payable, partially offset by the remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee, deferred income tax and equity in income from joint ventures and an increase in accounts receivable and inventory. Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2021 was $2,892,940, which resulted principally from NTIC&#x2019;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures and an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s cash flows from operations are impacted by significant changes in certain components of NTIC&#x2019;s working capital, including inventory turnover and changes in receivables and payables. 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. Key external factors include the availability of primary raw materials and sub-contractor production lead times. NTIC&#x2019;s typical contractual terms for trade receivables, excluding joint ventures, are traditionally 30 days and 90 days for trade receivables from its joint ventures. Before extending unsecured credit to customers, excluding NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures, NTIC reviews customers&#x2019; 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 the determination is made. Accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible based on NTIC exhausting reasonable efforts to collect. NTIC&#x2019;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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC experienced an increase in trade receivables and inventory as of August 31, 2022 compared to August 31, 2021. Trade receivables, excluding joint ventures, as of August 31, 2022 increased $2,091,353 compared to August 31, 2021, primarily related to an increase in sales.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Outstanding trade receivables, excluding joint ventures balances, as of August 31, 2022 decreased by an average of 3 days to an average of 72 days from balances outstanding from these customers as of August 31, 2021.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Outstanding trade receivables from joint ventures as of August 31, 2022 increased $73,053 compared to August 31, 2021 primarily due to the timing of payments. Outstanding balances from trade receivables from joint ventures increased by an average of 10 days as of August 31, 2022 to an average of 85 days from an average of 75 days from balances outstanding from these customers compared to August 31, 2021. The average days outstanding of trade receivables from joint ventures as of August 31, 2022 were primarily due to the receivables balances at South Korea and Thailand.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Outstanding receivables for services provided to joint ventures as of August 31, 2022 increased $259,990 compared to August 31, 2021, and the average days to pay increased an average of 20 days to an average of 112 days compared to August 31, 2021.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2022 was $7,108,174, which was primarily the result of the purchase of the remaining 50% ownership interest in Zerust India, purchases of property and equipment, investment in joint venture and investments in patents. Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2021 was $103,316, which was primarily the result of the purchase of available for sale securities, purchases of property and equipment and investments in patents, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of available for sale securities.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2022 was $3,188,377, which resulted from borrowings under the line of credit and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and NTIC&#x2019;s employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by dividends paid on NTIC common stock and dividends received by non-controlling interest. Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2021 was $1,522,209, which resulted from dividends paid on NTIC common stock and dividends paid to a non-controlling interest, partially offset by proceeds from NTIC&#x2019;s employee stock purchase plan and proceeds from stock option exercises.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although inflation in the United States and abroad historically has had little effect on NTIC, inflationary pressures adversely affected NTIC&#x2019;s gross margins during fiscal 2022 and are expected to persist into fiscal 2023.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC believes there is some seasonality in its business.

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC is exposed to some market risk stemming from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#x2019;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&#x2019;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Indian Rupee, the Chinese Renminbi, the South Korean Won, and the English Pound against the U.S. Dollar. NTIC&#x2019;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&#x2019;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#x2019;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&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Since NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures are considered related parties, NTIC recorded sales to its joint ventures as a separate line item on the face of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations and recorded fees for services provided to its joint ventures as separate line items on the face of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations. NTIC also records trade receivables from joint ventures, receivables for fees for services provided to joint ventures, and NTIC&#x2019;s investments in joint ventures as separate line items on its consolidated balance sheets.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC established its joint venture network approximately 30 years ago as a method to increase its worldwide distribution network for ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services. NTIC participates, either directly or indirectly, in 16 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets finished products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. NTIC&#x2019;s joint venture partners are knowledgeable in the applicable environmental, labor, tax, and other requisite regulations and laws of the respective foreign countries in which they operate, as well as the local customs and business practices. NTIC&#x2019;s revenue recognition policy for sales to its joint ventures is the same as its policy for sales to unaffiliated customers.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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&#x2019;s joint venture in Germany, EXCOR, NTIC recognizes an agreed upon quarterly fee for such services. NTIC records revenue related to fees for services provided to joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Under NTIC&#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures, fee amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. NTIC reviews the financial situation of each joint venture to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. From time to time, NTIC elects to account for such fees on a cash basis for certain joint ventures when uncertainty exists surrounding the collections of such fees. There are no fees being accounted for in this manner at present. The expenses incurred in support of its joint ventures are direct expenses that NTIC incurs related to its joint ventures and include such items as employee compensation and benefit expenses, travel expense, insurance, consulting expense, legal expense, and lab supplies and testing expense.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The preparation of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined a company&#x2019;s most critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations and those which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, NTIC has identified the following critical accounting policies. Although NTIC believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&#x2019;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. All such relationships are evaluated on an ongoing basis. The consolidated financial statements included in this report include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., NTIC Europe GmbH and ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V., NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#xe7;&#xe3;o de Corros&#xe3;o S.A., NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC, and NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited, Natur-Tec Lanka, Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd (Zerust Singapore) and Zerust Vietnam Co. Ltd (Zerust Vietnam). NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any of its joint ventures. Effective as of September 1, 2021, HNTI Limited has been consolidated in NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Business Combinations</i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">When applicable, NTIC accounts for the acquisition of a business in accordance with the accounting standards codification guidance for business combinations, whereby the total consideration transferred is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to non-controlling interests, when applicable, based on their respective estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Assigning estimated fair values to the net assets acquired requires the use of significant estimates, judgments, inputs, and assumptions regarding the fair value of intangible assets that are separately identifiable from goodwill, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. While the ultimate responsibility for determining estimated fair values of the acquired net assets resides with management, for material acquisitions, NTIC may retain the services of certified valuation specialists to assist with assigning estimated fair values to certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including intangible assets that are separately identifiable from goodwill, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. Estimated fair values of acquired intangible assets that are separately identifiable from goodwill, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment are generally based on available historical information, future expectations, available market data, and assumptions determined to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain with respect to future events, including economic conditions, competition, technological obsolescence, the useful life of the acquired assets, and other factors. These significant estimates, judgments, inputs, and assumptions include, when applicable, the selection of an appropriate valuation method depending on the nature of the respective asset, such as the income approach, the market or sales comparison approach, or the cost approach; estimating future cash flows based on projected revenues and/or margins that NTIC expects to generate subsequent to the acquisition; applying an appropriate discount rate to estimate the present value of those projected cash flows NTIC expects to generate; selecting an appropriate terminal growth rate and/or royalty rate or estimating a customer attrition or technological obsolescence factor where necessary and appropriate given the nature of the respective asset; assigning an appropriate contributory asset charge where needed; determining an appropriate useful life and the related depreciation or amortization method for the respective asset; and assessing the accuracy and completeness of other historical financial metrics of the acquiree used as standalone inputs or as the basis for determining estimated projected inputs such as margins, customer attrition, and costs to hold and sell product.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In determining the estimated fair value of intangible assets that are separately identifiable from goodwill, NTIC typically utilizes the income approach, which discounts the projected future cash flows using a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks associated with the projected cash flows. Generally, NTIC estimates the fair value of acquired customer relationships using the relief from royalty method under the income approach, which is based on the hypothetical royalty stream that would be received if NTIC were to license the acquired trade name. For most other acquired intangible assets, NTIC estimates fair value using the excess earnings method under the income approach, which is typically applied when cash flows are not directly generated by the asset, but rather, by an operating group that includes the particular asset. In certain instances, particularly in relation to developed technology or patents, NTIC may utilize the cost approach depending on the nature of the respective intangible asset and the recency of the development or procurement of such technology. The useful lives and amortization methods for the acquired intangible assets that are separately identifiable from goodwill are generally determined based on the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the acquired intangible assets and the nature of the use of the respective acquired intangible asset, adjusted as appropriate for entity-specific factors including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, and/or other factors such as customer attrition rates and product or order lifecycles that may limit the useful life of the respective acquired intangible asset. In determining the estimated fair value of acquired inventory, NTIC typically utilizes the cost approach for raw materials and the sales comparison approach for work in process, finished goods, and service parts. In determining the estimated fair value of acquired property, plant, and equipment, NTIC typically utilizes the sales comparison approach or the cost approach depending on the nature of the respective asset and the recency of the construction or procurement of such asset.</p>

The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the estimated useful life and depreciation or amortization method of each asset, can materially impact the net earnings of the periods subsequent to an acquisition through depreciation and amortization, and in certain instances through impairment charges, if the asset becomes impaired in the future. During the measurement period, any purchase price allocation changes that impact the carrying value of goodwill will affect any measurement of goodwill impairment taken during the measurement period, if applicable. If necessary, purchase price allocation revisions that occur outside of the measurement period are recorded within cost of sales, selling expenses or general and administrative expenses within NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations depending on the nature of the adjustment.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. NTIC assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, NTIC reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual for fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet NTIC&#x2019;s financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. In addition to the annual assessments for impairment, non-periodic assessments for impairment may occur if cash remittances are less than accrued balances, a joint venture&#x2019;s management requests capital, or other events occur suggesting anything other than temporary decline in value. If an investment were determined to be impaired, then a reserve would be created to reflect the impairment on the financial results of NTIC. NTIC&#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires NTIC to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Investments at Carrying Value </i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">If NTIC is no longer able to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policy of a joint venture previously accounted for under the equity method, it maintains the investment at the carrying value as of the date that significant influence no longer exists and discontinues accruing the proportionate earnings or losses of the investment.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. NTIC employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of its investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, NTIC evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, its intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. NTIC also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 NTIC&#x2019;s revenue is contracted with customers through one-time purchase orders and short-term contracts, NTIC 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. The transaction price for NTIC&#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs as defined by the terms in the customer agreement, generally upon shipment of product.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">With respect to recording revenue related to fees earned for services provided to NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation for the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by NTIC. The support and services NTIC provides its joint ventures include consulting, travel, insurance, technical and marketing services to existing joint ventures, legal fees incurred in the establishment of new joint ventures, registration and promotion and legal defense of worldwide trademarks, and legal fees incurred in connection with the filing of patent applications based on licensing or other agreements with its joint ventures. NTIC receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures. The fees for support services received by NTIC from its joint ventures are generally determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. Under NTIC&#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. NTIC reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. NTIC elects to account for these fees on a cash basis for certain joint ventures when uncertainty exists surrounding the collections of such fees.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Trade receivables arise from sales of NTIC&#x2019;s products and services to NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures and to unaffiliated customers. Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales NTIC makes to its joint ventures of products and the essential additives required to make ZERUST&#xae; industrial corrosion inhibiting products functional. Receivables for services to NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures are contractually based primarily on a percentage of the sales of the joint ventures and are intended to compensate NTIC for services NTIC provides to its joint ventures, including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical, and marketing services.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Payment terms for NTIC&#x2019;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer. NTIC typically offers standard payment terms of net 30 days to unaffiliated customers. Payment terms for NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. NTIC typically offers payment terms to joint ventures of net 90 days. NTIC does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. NTIC reviews the credit histories of its customers, including its joint ventures, before extending unsecured credit. NTIC values accounts and notes receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, NTIC prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, NTIC evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, NTIC establishes a reserve for specific accounts and notes receivable that it believes are uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables not specifically known. Deterioration in the financial condition of any key customer or joint venture or a significant slowdown in the economy could have a material negative impact on NTIC&#x2019;s ability to collect a portion or all of the accounts and notes receivable. NTIC believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide NTIC with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. However, since NTIC cannot predict with certainty future changes in the financial stability of its customers or joint ventures, NTIC&#x2019;s actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from its estimates. In the event NTIC determined that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, NTIC would record a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such a determination.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of tangible net assets acquired in acquisitions after amounts have been allocated to intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually (at August 31), or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal or business climate, an adverse regulatory action or unanticipated competition.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows were less than the carrying value, NTIC would determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The functional currency of each international joint venture and subsidiary is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur-Tec Lanka, NTI Asean, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, Zerust Mexico, Zerust India, NTI Europe, and NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since NTIC&#x2019;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 the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and transactions under NTIC&#x2019;s employee stock purchase plan, in its consolidated financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. NTIC measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options or other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s inventories consist primarily of production materials and finished goods. NTIC purchases production materials and finished goods based on forecasted demand and records inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Management regularly assesses inventory valuation based on current and forecasted usage, demand and pricing, shelf life, customer inventory-related contractual obligations, and other considerations. If actual results differ from management estimates with respect to the actual or projected selling of inventories at amounts less than their carrying amounts, NTIC would adjust its inventory balances accordingly.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC records net deferred tax assets to the extent NTIC believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, NTIC considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, including the prior three-year history. In the event NTIC determines that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, NTIC makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#x2019;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&#x2019;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Indian Rupee, the Chinese Renminbi, the South Korean Won, and the English Pound against the U.S. Dollar. NTIC&#x2019;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&#x2019;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#x2019;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&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Some raw materials used in NTIC&#x2019;s products are exposed to commodity price changes. The primary commodity price exposures are with a variety of plastic resins.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Northern Technologies International Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 18pt;">As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the accounting for the acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest in Harita-NTI Limited (Harita) during the year ended August 31, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The Company measured the fair value of the previously held equity interest in Harita and recorded a gain.&#xa0; The Company then measured the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, which resulted in the recognition of a customer relationship intangible asset and goodwill.</p>

The determination of the fair values of the intangible asset and the previously held equity interest requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, expenses, discount rates, risk-free rates, weighted-average cost of capital, equity risk premium, control premiums and royalty rates.</p>

The Company&#x2019;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> generate contract assets or liabilities.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> &#x2013; 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. 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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> 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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Performance Obligations</i> &#x2013; 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. The Company&#x2019;s technical</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The transaction price for the Company&#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> 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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">50</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">14</em> and does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year or less. There are <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> material obligations that extend beyond <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year.</p>

The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">25</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">16A</em> and does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services.

The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> record a return asset, as non-conforming products are generally <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> returned. The Company&#x2019;s return policy does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> vary by geography.

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Product Warranty</i> &#x2013; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> considered distinct performance obligations.

The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company establishes a reserve for specific accounts and notes receivable that it believes are uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> specifically known. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#x2019;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established.</p></ix:nonNumeric><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"></p>

The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products.

An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#x2019;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#x2019;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures.

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management&#x2019;s estimates and assumptions. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be subject to change as additional information is received.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The fair value of the intangible asset associated with customer relationships was estimated using a discounted cash flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible asset&#x2019;s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to only the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The rate used to discount the estimated future net cash flows to their present values for the intangible assets was based upon a weighted average cost of capital calculation. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the assets acquired from Zerust India. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the fair value of the customer relationships was <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483592">15.3%.</span></p>

The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based upon estimated cash flows generated from such asset. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the expansion opportunity of the Company&#x2019;s Zerust business in India.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company follows the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company&#x2019;s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and financial liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The hierarchy is broken down into <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> levels defined as follows:</p>

  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 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&#x2019;s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#x2019;s management, including NTIC&#x2019;s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. NTIC&#x2019;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&#x2019;s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on that evaluation, NTIC&#x2019;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that NTIC&#x2019;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, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC&#x2019;s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#x2019;s management, including NTIC&#x2019;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.</p>

  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#x2019;s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) for Northern Technologies International Corporation and its subsidiaries. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company&#x2019;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company&#x2019;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projection of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</p>
  <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Management, with the participation of NTIC&#x2019;s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company&#x2019;s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2022. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control &#x2013; Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 31, 2022.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Nature of Business </i>&#8211; Northern Technologies International Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) develop and market proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services in over 65 countries either directly or via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. The Company&#8217;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#174; brand. The Company has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion prevention products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for almost <em style="font: inherit;">50</em> years and, more recently, has also expanded into the oil and gas industry. The Company also sells a portfolio of proprietary bio-based and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under the Natur-Tec&#174; brand. These products are intended to reduce the Company&#8217;s customers&#8217; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound disposal options. The Company&#8217;s <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483434">two</span> operating segments are ZERUST and Natur-Tec.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company participates, either directly or indirectly, in 16 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. While most of the Company&#8217;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also sell the Company&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products. The profits of joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The Company typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> control the decisions of these entities, including dividend declaration or amount in any given year.</p>

NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&#8217;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V (Zerust Mexico), NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe), NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India), NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#231;&#227;o de Corros&#227;o S.A. (Zerust Brazil), NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka, Natur Tec Lanka (Pvt) Ltd (Natur Tec Lanka), and NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), and its wholly owned subsidiaries Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd (Zerust Singapore) and Zerust Vietnam Co.

The Company allocates gains and losses to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation results in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest. Changes in ownership interests are treated as equity transactions if the Company maintains control.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>


   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/></p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Net Sales </i>&#8211; The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers as separate line items on its consolidated statements of operations. There are <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> sales originating from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures included in the amount, as the Company&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following <em style="font: inherit;">five</em> steps: (<em style="font: inherit;">1</em>) identify the contracts with a customer; (<em style="font: inherit;">2</em>) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (<em style="font: inherit;">3</em>) determine the transaction price; (<em style="font: inherit;">4</em>)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (<em style="font: inherit;">5</em>) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the <em style="font: inherit;">five</em>-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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> generate contract assets or liabilities.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> &#8211; 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. 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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> 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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Performance Obligations</i> &#8211; 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. The Company&#8217;s technical</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The transaction price for the Company&#8217;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> 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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">50</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">14</em> and does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year or less. There are <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> material obligations that extend beyond <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>


   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">25</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">16A</em> and does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">32</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">18</em> 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 <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year or less, as the Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally <em style="font: inherit;">thirty</em> to <em style="font: inherit;">ninety</em> days.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> record a return asset, as non-conforming products are generally <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> returned. The Company&#8217;s return policy does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> vary by geography. The customer has <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> under a warranty obligation.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Sales Commissions</i> &#8211; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> 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 <em style="font: inherit;">340</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">40</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">25</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">4</em> 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 <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Product Warranty</i> &#8211; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>International Revenue</i> &#8211; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. See Note <em style="font: inherit;">13,</em> Segment and Geographic Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.</p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/><i/><i>Trade Receivables</i> &#8211; Payment terms for the Company&#8217;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer. The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net <em style="font: inherit;">30</em> days. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company establishes a reserve for specific accounts and notes receivable that it believes are uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> specifically known. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $439,000 and $382,000 as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2021, </em>respectively. Accounts are considered past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are written-off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/></p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Trade Receivables from Joint Ventures </i>&#8211; Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&#8217;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures unpaid after <em style="font: inherit;">90</em> days are considered past due. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its joint venture receivables was <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> necessary as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022 </em>or <em style="font: inherit;">2021.</em></p>

The Company receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&#8217;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. Under the Company&#8217;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation for the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by the Company. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. The Company accounts for these fees on a cash basis if uncertainty exists surrounding the collection of such fees.</p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/>

Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#8217;s share of a joint venture&#8217;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#8217;s investment balance, the balance is reported at <em style="font: inherit;">zero</em> value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31 </em>of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#8217;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;">2021.</em> The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#8217;s income or assets make up more than <em style="font: inherit;">20%</em> of the Company&#8217;s total assets or income.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company classifies distributions received from its joint ventures based on the nature of the distributions, generally, in operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.</p>

   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#8217;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established.</p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/><i>Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets</i> &#8211; The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em><em style="font: inherit;">not</em> be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/><i/><i>Acquisitions of Businesses</i> -&#160;Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#8217;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#8217;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are recognized as general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company evaluates the materiality of required disclosures related to our business combinations using quantitative and qualitative measures.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/></p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</i>- Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of tangible net assets acquired in acquisitions after amounts have been allocated to intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually (at <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31), </em>or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include, but are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> limited to, a significant adverse change in legal or business climate, an adverse regulatory action or unanticipated competition.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a quantitative test that compares the fair value to its carrying value to determine the amount of any impairment. The Company has determined there was <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> goodwill impairment as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022.</em></p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><em style="font: inherit;"/></p>

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>


   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a <em style="font: inherit;">two</em>-step process whereby the Company determines whether it is more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-<em style="font: inherit;">not</em> recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than <em style="font: inherit;">50</em> percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.</p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/>

The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).</p>

Since investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations.</p><p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/><i>Stock-Based Compensation</i> &#8211; The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and transactions under the Company&#8217;s employee stock purchase plan, in its consolidated financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award (generally the vesting term).</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/><i>Subsequent Events</i> &#8211; The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements for events requiring disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i/><i>Use of Estimates</i> &#8211; The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In <em style="font: inherit;"> June 2016, </em>the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) <em style="font: inherit;">No.</em> <em style="font: inherit;">2016</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">13,</em> <i>Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments</i>, which revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope, and in <em style="font: inherit;"> November 2018, </em>issued ASU <em style="font: inherit;">No.</em> <em style="font: inherit;">2018</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">19</em> and in <em style="font: inherit;"> April 2019, </em>issued ASU <em style="font: inherit;">No.</em> <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">04</em> and in <em style="font: inherit;"> May 2019, </em>issued ASU <em style="font: inherit;">No.</em> <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">05,</em> and in <em style="font: inherit;"> November 2019, </em>issued ASU <em style="font: inherit;">No.</em> <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">11,</em> which amended the standard. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after <em style="font: inherit;"> December 15, 2022, </em>including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the standard&#8217;s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the <em style="font: inherit;">first</em> reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this ASU.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial position or operating results.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management&#8217;s estimates and assumptions. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be subject to change as additional information is received.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The fair value of the intangible asset associated with customer relationships was estimated using a discounted cash flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible asset&#8217;s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to only the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The rate used to discount the estimated future net cash flows to their present values for the intangible assets was based upon a weighted average cost of capital calculation. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the assets acquired from Zerust India. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the fair value of the customer relationships was <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483592">15.3%.</span></p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The amortization period for the intangible assets is <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483593">15</span> years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based upon estimated cash flows generated from such asset. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the expansion opportunity of the Company&#8217;s Zerust business in India.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquisition at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, since the Company acquired the remaining <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483594">50%</span> ownership interest of Zerust India effective <em style="font: inherit;"> September 1, 2021, </em>the Company recognized a gain of $3,951,550 during the year ended <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022. </em>This gain is included in &#8220;Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee&#8221; on the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022.</em></p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has included the financial results of Zerust India in the consolidated financial statements from <em style="font: inherit;"> September 1, 2021. </em>Net revenue and net income related to Zerust India since the date of acquisition totaled $9,961,464 and $659,794, respectively. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $115,000 and are recorded in general and administrative expense as incurred during the year ended <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022.</em></p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Unaudited consolidated pro forma information assuming the acquisition had occurred on <em style="font: inherit;"> September 1, 2020 </em>for the year ended <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2021 </em>would have an increase in net sales of $9,074,240 and an increase in the net income of $1,529,615. The unaudited consolidated pro forma combined financial information does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> purport to be indicative of the results which would have been obtained had the acquisition been completed as of the beginning of the earliest period presented or of results that <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be obtained in the future. In addition, they do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> include any benefits that <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>result from the acquisition due to synergies that <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be derived from the elimination of any duplicative costs.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of the Company&#8217;s common stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Net income per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic net income per share. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net income per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022 </em>were options outstanding to purchase 600,094 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2021 </em>were options outstanding to purchase 136,221 shares of common stock.</p>

   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> stock-based compensation plans under which stock options or other stock-based awards have been granted: the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Stock Incentive Plan (the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan) and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan replaced the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan with respect to future grants; and, therefore, <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> further awards <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be made under the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards, and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&#8217;s economic objectives. On <em style="font: inherit;"> January 15, 2021, </em>the Company&#8217;s stockholders approved certain amendments to the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan, including an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan by an additional 800,000 shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan, up to a maximum of 1,600,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock are issuable under the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan. Options granted generally have a term of <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483905">ten</span> years and become exercisable over a <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483906">one</span>- or <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483907">three</span>- year period beginning on the <em style="font: inherit;">one</em>-year anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted at per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company&#8217;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options. As of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022, </em>options to purchase an aggregate of 867,721 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock were outstanding under the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan and 704,516 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock remain available for grant under the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan. As of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022, </em>options to purchase an aggregate of 649,243 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock were outstanding under the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 174,840 and 419,874 shares of its common stock during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">2021,</em> respectively. The fair value of option grants is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company recognized compensation expense of $931,532 during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022</em> and compensation expense of $664,174 during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2021</em> related to the options that vested during such time period. As of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022, </em>the total compensation cost for non-vested options <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> yet recognized in the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations was $1,009,719. Stock-based compensation expense of $671,526 is expected during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2023</em> and $338,193 is expected to be recognized during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2024,</em> based on outstanding options as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022. </em>Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and results for the grants:</p>

As a result of the <em style="font: inherit;">2017</em> tax law changes, U.S. federal income taxes on dividends received from the Company&#8217;s foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures after <em style="font: inherit;"> December 31, 2017 </em>have been generally eliminated. However, the Company continues to be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation of any undistributed earnings that are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> essentially permanent in duration. The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately $8,000 and $113,000 during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022</em> and fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2021,</em> respectively, representing changes in the deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes to be paid with respect to the portion of the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> essentially permanent in duration.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">As of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022, </em>the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $4,892,100. This amount will begin to expire if <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> utilized prior to <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2023. </em>In addition, the Company had federal and state tax credit carryforwards of $3,796,500 as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022, </em>which will begin to expire in fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2023.</em>&#160; These federal and state tax credit carryforwards consist primarily of federal and Minnesota research and development credit carryforwards. The Company also has a deferred tax asset of $1,170,100 for federal net operating loss carryforwards and $329,800 for state net operating loss carryforwards as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022. </em>The federal net operating loss carryforward has an indefinite carryforward period. The state net operating loss carryforward will begin to expire to the extent it is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> utilized prior to <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2023. </em>The Company has a deferred tax asset of $159,000 for foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which has an indefinite carryforward period.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company records a tax valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when it is more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> be realized.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company determined based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results, that it is more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> that its domestic deferred tax assets will <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> be realized due to the absence of objectively verifiable sources of taxable income. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $11,592,900 and $11,447,500 as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;">2021,</em> respectively, to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax assets that is more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> to be realized. The net deferred tax asset as of <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;">2021</em> relates entirely to non-US deferred tax assets which are expected to be realized by offset of deferred tax liability for withholding tax on cumulative undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> essentially permanent. The change in the valuation allowance totaled an increase of $145,400 and a decrease of $114,000 for the years ended <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;">2021,</em> respectively.</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company currently has operating leases for various buildings, equipment and vehicles. These leases are under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with expiration dates between <em style="font: inherit;"> September 30, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;"> July 31, 2024. </em>The Company has the option to extend certain leases to <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91484249">five</span> or <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91484250">ten</span>-year term(s) and has the right of <em style="font: inherit;">first</em> refusal on any sale.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its long-term operating leases as right-of-use assets. Upon initial adoption, using the modified retrospective transition approach, <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> leases with terms less than <em style="font: inherit;">12</em> months have been capitalized to the consolidated balance sheet consistent with ASC <em style="font: inherit;">842.</em> Instead, these leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line expense throughout the lives of the leases. <em style="font: inherit;">None</em> of the Company&#8217;s leases contain common area maintenance or security agreements.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC <em style="font: inherit;">842,</em> the most significant of which is that the Company elected the package of practical expedients available for transition that allow the Company to <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC <em style="font: inherit;">842.</em> Additionally, the Company did <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> elect to use hindsight when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset. The Company has <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> contingent rent agreements.</p>

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 <em style="font: inherit;">2023</em> compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2023,</em> 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 is discretionary, and bonuses <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock, the exact amount and percentages of which are 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 <em style="font: inherit;">2023.</em></p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company follows the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company&#8217;s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and financial liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The hierarchy is broken down into <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> levels defined as follows:</p>

   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily relate to marketable equity securities. These items are marked-to-market at each reporting period, and the Company estimates that market value approximates costs.</p>

There are <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> sales originating from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures included in the amount, as the Company&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following <em style="font: inherit;">five</em> steps: (<em style="font: inherit;">1</em>) identify the contracts with a customer; (<em style="font: inherit;">2</em>) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (<em style="font: inherit;">3</em>) determine the transaction price; (<em style="font: inherit;">4</em>)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (<em style="font: inherit;">5</em>) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the <em style="font: inherit;">five</em>-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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> generate contract assets or liabilities.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> &#8211; 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. 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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> 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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Performance Obligations</i> &#8211; 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. The Company&#8217;s technical</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The transaction price for the Company&#8217;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> 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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">50</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">14</em> and does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year or less. There are <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> material obligations that extend beyond <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>


   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">25</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">16A</em> and does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">32</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">18</em> 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 <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> year or less, as the Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally <em style="font: inherit;">thirty</em> to <em style="font: inherit;">ninety</em> days.</p>
   <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> record a return asset, as non-conforming products are generally <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> returned. The Company&#8217;s return policy does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> vary by geography. The customer has <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> under a warranty obligation.</p>

If the operating results of a joint venture do <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture.

The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors.

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nature of Business &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; Northern Technologies International Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) develop and market proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services in over 65 countries either directly or via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. The Company&#x2019;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#xae; brand. The Company has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion prevention products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for almost &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;50&lt;/em&gt; years and, more recently, has also expanded into the oil and gas industry. The Company also sells a portfolio of proprietary bio-based and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under the Natur-Tec&#xae; brand. These products are intended to reduce the Company&#x2019;s customers&#x2019; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound disposal options. The Company&#x2019;s &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483434"&gt;two&lt;/span&gt; operating segments are ZERUST and Natur-Tec.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company participates, either directly or indirectly, in 16 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. While most of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also sell the Company&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products. The profits of joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The Company typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; control the decisions of these entities, including dividend declaration or amount in any given year.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Principles of Consolidation&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&#x2019;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V (Zerust Mexico), NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe), NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India), NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#xe7;&#xe3;o de Corros&#xe3;o S.A. (Zerust Brazil), NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka, Natur Tec Lanka (Pvt) Ltd (Natur Tec Lanka), and NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), and its wholly owned subsidiaries Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd (Zerust Singapore) and Zerust Vietnam Co. Ltd (Zerust Vietnam). NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; include the accounts of any of its joint ventures. Effective as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;HNTI Limited (Zerust India) has been consolidated in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements since the Company purchased the remaining 50% ownership interest of Zerust India effective as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style="font: inherit;"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Non-Controlling Interests&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company owns 75% of Natur-Tec India, 75% of Natur Tec Lanka, 85% of Zerust Brazil, 60% of NTI Asean, Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd and Zerust Vietnam Co Ltd.&#160; The remaining ownership of the consolidated entities are accounted for as non-controlling interests and reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company allocates gains and losses to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation results in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest. Changes in ownership interests are treated as equity transactions if the Company maintains control.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Net Sales &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers as separate line items on its consolidated statements of operations. There are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; sales originating from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures included in the amount, as the Company&#x2019;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;five&lt;/em&gt; steps: (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1&lt;/em&gt;) identify the contracts with a customer; (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2&lt;/em&gt;) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;3&lt;/em&gt;) determine the transaction price; (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;4&lt;/em&gt;)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;5&lt;/em&gt;) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;five&lt;/em&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;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 a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; generate contract assets or liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; 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. 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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Performance Obligations&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; 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. The Company&#x2019;s technical&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The transaction price for the Company&#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;606&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;50&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;14&lt;/em&gt; and does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year or less. There are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; material obligations that extend beyond &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;606&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;25&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;16A&lt;/em&gt; and does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;606&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;32&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;18&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year or less, as the Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;thirty&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;ninety&lt;/em&gt; days.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; record a return asset, as non-conforming products are generally &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; returned. The Company&#x2019;s return policy does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; vary by geography. The customer has &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; under a warranty obligation.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sales Commissions&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;340&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;40&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;25&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;4&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Product Warranty&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;International Revenue&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. See Note &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;13,&lt;/em&gt; Segment and Geographic Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trade Receivables&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Payment terms for the Company&#x2019;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer. The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;30&lt;/em&gt; days. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company establishes a reserve for specific accounts and notes receivable that it believes are uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; specifically known. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $439,000 and $382,000 as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;respectively. Accounts are considered past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are written-off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trade Receivables from Joint Ventures &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures unpaid after &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;90&lt;/em&gt; days are considered past due. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its joint venture receivables was &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; necessary as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;or &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;The Company provides services to its joint ventures including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical, and marketing services based on licensing or other agreements with its joint ventures. The Company receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. Under the Company&#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation for the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by the Company. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. The Company accounts for these fees on a cash basis if uncertainty exists surrounding the collection of such fees.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/&gt;

The Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;exceed federally insured limits.&lt;/p&gt;

Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; significant.&lt;/p&gt;

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated service lives of the various assets as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Upon retirement, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.&lt;/p&gt;

Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#x2019;s share of a joint venture&#x2019;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#x2019;s investment balance, the balance is reported at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;zero&lt;/em&gt; value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31 &lt;/em&gt;of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021.&lt;/em&gt; The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#x2019;s income or assets make up more than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;20%&lt;/em&gt; of the Company&#x2019;s total assets or income.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company classifies distributions received from its joint ventures based on the nature of the distributions, generally, in operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;If the Company is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; longer able to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policy of a joint venture previously accounted for under the equity method, it maintains the investment at the carrying value as of the date that significant influence &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; longer exists and discontinues accruing the proportionate earnings or losses of the investment.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#x2019;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Acquisitions of Businesses&lt;/i&gt; -&#160;Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#x2019;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#x2019;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are recognized as general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company evaluates the materiality of required disclosures related to our business combinations using quantitative and qualitative measures.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&lt;/i&gt;- Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of tangible net assets acquired in acquisitions after amounts have been allocated to intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually (at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31), &lt;/em&gt;or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include, but are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; limited to, a significant adverse change in legal or business climate, an adverse regulatory action or unanticipated competition.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a quantitative test that compares the fair value to its carrying value to determine the amount of any impairment. The Company has determined there was &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; goodwill impairment as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;em style="font: inherit;"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;two&lt;/em&gt;-step process whereby the Company determines whether it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;50&lt;/em&gt; percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Foreign Currency Translation (Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)) &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; The functional currency of NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur Tec Lanka, Zerust Mexico, Zerust India, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, NTI Europe, and each unconsolidated international joint venture is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur Tec Lanka, Zerust India, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, NTI Asean, Zerust Mexico, NTI Europe, and NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"/&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fair Value of Financial Instruments&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, available for sale securities, short-term accounts and notes receivable, notes payable, trade accounts payables, and other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of goods sold.&lt;/p&gt;

That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award (generally the vesting term).&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Subsequent Events&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements for events requiring disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i/&gt;&lt;i&gt;Use of Estimates&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

There are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; sales originating from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures included in the amount, as the Company&#x2019;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;five&lt;/em&gt; steps: (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1&lt;/em&gt;) identify the contracts with a customer; (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2&lt;/em&gt;) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;3&lt;/em&gt;) determine the transaction price; (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;4&lt;/em&gt;)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;5&lt;/em&gt;) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;five&lt;/em&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;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 a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; generate contract assets or liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; 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. 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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Performance Obligations&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; 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. The Company&#x2019;s technical&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#x2019;s ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The transaction price for the Company&#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;606&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;50&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;14&lt;/em&gt; and does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year or less. There are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; material obligations that extend beyond &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;606&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;25&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;16A&lt;/em&gt; and does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;606&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;32&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;18&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year or less, as the Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;thirty&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;ninety&lt;/em&gt; days.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; record a return asset, as non-conforming products are generally &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; returned. The Company&#x2019;s return policy does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; vary by geography. The customer has &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; under a warranty obligation.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sales Commissions&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;340&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;40&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;25&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;4&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Product Warranty&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&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;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;International Revenue&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world.

The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;30&lt;/em&gt; days. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company establishes a reserve for specific accounts and notes receivable that it believes are uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; specifically known. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $439,000 and $382,000 as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;respectively. Accounts are considered past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are written-off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.</us-gaap:ReceivablesPolicyTextBlock>

Payment terms for the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures unpaid after &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;90&lt;/em&gt; days are considered past due. The Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its joint venture receivables was &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; necessary as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;or &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Company receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. Under the Company&#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation for the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by the Company. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned.

Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#x2019;s share of a joint venture&#x2019;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#x2019;s investment balance, the balance is reported at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;zero&lt;/em&gt; value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31 &lt;/em&gt;of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021.&lt;/em&gt; The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#x2019;s income or assets make up more than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;20%&lt;/em&gt; of the Company&#x2019;s total assets or income.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;If the Company is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; longer able to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policy of a joint venture previously accounted for under the equity method, it maintains the investment at the carrying value as of the date that significant influence &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; longer exists and discontinues accruing the proportionate earnings or losses of the investment.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#x2019;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:EquityMethodInvestmentsPolicy>

The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.</us-gaap:ImpairmentOrDisposalOfLongLivedAssetsPolicyTextBlock>

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#x2019;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a quantitative test that compares the fair value to its carrying value to determine the amount of any impairment. The Company has determined there was &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; goodwill impairment as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:GoodwillAndIntangibleAssetsPolicyTextBlock>

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;two&lt;/em&gt;-step process whereby the Company determines whether it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;50&lt;/em&gt; percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxPolicyTextBlock>

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;In &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; June 2016, &lt;/em&gt;the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;No.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2016&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;13,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;i&gt;Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments&lt;/i&gt;, which revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope, and in &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; November 2018, &lt;/em&gt;issued ASU &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;No.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2018&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;19&lt;/em&gt; and in &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; April 2019, &lt;/em&gt;issued ASU &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;No.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;04&lt;/em&gt; and in &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 2019, &lt;/em&gt;issued ASU &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;No.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;05,&lt;/em&gt; and in &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; November 2019, &lt;/em&gt;issued ASU &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;No.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;11,&lt;/em&gt; which amended the standard. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; December 15, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the standard&#x2019;s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;first&lt;/em&gt; reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this ASU.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial position or operating results.&lt;/p&gt;

Prior to &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;the Company owned 50% of the outstanding capital stock of Zerust India. The Company had historically accounted for this investment under the equity method of accounting. This purchase was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company&#x2019;s revolving line of credit. The Company undertook the acquisition to enhance its Zerust business in India.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The purchase price of $6,250,000 was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company&#x2019;s revolving line of credit, which was increased in connection with the transaction to $5,000,000.&lt;/p&gt;

Effective &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;Zerust India became a consolidated subsidiary within the Company&#x2019;s financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

     &lt;/tbody&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management&#x2019;s estimates and assumptions. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be subject to change as additional information is received.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The fair value of the intangible asset associated with customer relationships was estimated using a discounted cash flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible asset&#x2019;s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to only the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The rate used to discount the estimated future net cash flows to their present values for the intangible assets was based upon a weighted average cost of capital calculation. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the assets acquired from Zerust India. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the fair value of the customer relationships was &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483592"&gt;15.3%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The amortization period for the intangible assets is &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483593"&gt;15&lt;/span&gt; years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based upon estimated cash flows generated from such asset. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the expansion opportunity of the Company&#x2019;s Zerust business in India.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquisition at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, since the Company acquired the remaining &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483594"&gt;50%&lt;/span&gt; ownership interest of Zerust India effective &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;the Company recognized a gain of $3,951,550 during the year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022. &lt;/em&gt;This gain is included in &#x201c;Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee&#x201d; on the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company has included the financial results of Zerust India in the consolidated financial statements from &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2021. &lt;/em&gt;Net revenue and net income related to Zerust India since the date of acquisition totaled $9,961,464 and $659,794, respectively. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $115,000 and are recorded in general and administrative expense as incurred during the year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Unaudited consolidated pro forma information assuming the acquisition had occurred on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2020 &lt;/em&gt;for the year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021 &lt;/em&gt;would have an increase in net sales of $9,074,240 and an increase in the net income of $1,529,615. The unaudited consolidated pro forma combined financial information does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; purport to be indicative of the results which would have been obtained had the acquisition been completed as of the beginning of the earliest period presented or of results that &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be obtained in the future. In addition, they do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; include any benefits that &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;result from the acquisition due to synergies that &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be derived from the elimination of any duplicative costs.&lt;/p&gt;

The line of credit is governed under an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The other material terms of the line of credit were &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; affected by these amendments or other immaterial amendments that have been executed since the execution of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The average interest rate during the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;twelve&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;was 3.07%.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The obligations of the Company under the loan agreement are secured by a lien on all of the Company&#x2019;s personal property, excepting certain liens consented to in writing by PNC. The loan agreement contains covenants, including affirmative financial covenants, such as the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483778"&gt;1.10:1.00,&lt;/span&gt; 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. As of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of the Company&#x2019;s common stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Net income per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic net income per share. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net income per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;were options outstanding to purchase 600,094 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021 &lt;/em&gt;were options outstanding to purchase 136,221 shares of common stock.&lt;/p&gt;

The &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt; Plan replaced the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2007&lt;/em&gt; Plan with respect to future grants; and, therefore, &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; further awards &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be made under the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2007&lt;/em&gt; Plan.

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt; Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards, and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&#x2019;s economic objectives. On &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; January 15, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;the Company&#x2019;s stockholders approved certain amendments to the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt; Plan, including an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan by an additional 800,000 shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt; Plan, up to a maximum of 1,600,000 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock are issuable under the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt; Plan. Options granted generally have a term of &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483905"&gt;ten&lt;/span&gt; years and become exercisable over a &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483906"&gt;one&lt;/span&gt;- or &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91483907"&gt;three&lt;/span&gt;- year period beginning on the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt;-year anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted at per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company&#x2019;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options. As of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;options to purchase an aggregate of 867,721 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock were outstanding under the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt; Plan and 704,516 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock remain available for grant under the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2019&lt;/em&gt; Plan. As of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;options to purchase an aggregate of 649,243 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock were outstanding under the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2007&lt;/em&gt; Plan.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 174,840 and 419,874 shares of its common stock during fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2022&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021,&lt;/em&gt; respectively. The fair value of option grants is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company recognized compensation expense of $931,532 during fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2022&lt;/em&gt; and compensation expense of $664,174 during fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021&lt;/em&gt; related to the options that vested during such time period. As of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;the total compensation cost for non-vested options &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; yet recognized in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was $1,009,719. Stock-based compensation expense of $671,526 is expected during fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2023&lt;/em&gt; and $338,193 is expected to be recognized during fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2024,&lt;/em&gt; based on outstanding options as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022. &lt;/em&gt;Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company has &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; provided U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes with respect to its portion of the cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that are essentially permanent in duration. As a result of the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2017&lt;/em&gt; tax law changes, U.S. federal income taxes on dividends received from the Company&#x2019;s foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures after &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/em&gt;have been generally eliminated. However, the Company continues to be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation of any undistributed earnings that are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; essentially permanent in duration. The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately $8,000 and $113,000 during fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2022&lt;/em&gt; and fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021,&lt;/em&gt; respectively, representing changes in the deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes to be paid with respect to the portion of the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; essentially permanent in duration.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The tax effect of the temporary differences and tax carryforwards comprising the net deferred taxes shown on the consolidated balance sheets as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August&#160;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;31,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2022&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021&lt;/em&gt; was approximately as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;As of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $4,892,100. This amount will begin to expire if &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; utilized prior to &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2023. &lt;/em&gt;In addition, the Company had federal and state tax credit carryforwards of $3,796,500 as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;which will begin to expire in fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2023.&lt;/em&gt;&#160; These federal and state tax credit carryforwards consist primarily of federal and Minnesota research and development credit carryforwards. The Company also has a deferred tax asset of $1,170,100 for federal net operating loss carryforwards and $329,800 for state net operating loss carryforwards as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022. &lt;/em&gt;The federal net operating loss carryforward has an indefinite carryforward period. The state net operating loss carryforward will begin to expire to the extent it is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; utilized prior to &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2023. &lt;/em&gt;The Company has a deferred tax asset of $159,000 for foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which has an indefinite carryforward period.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records a tax valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; be realized.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company determined based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results, that it is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; that its domestic deferred tax assets will &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; be realized due to the absence of objectively verifiable sources of taxable income. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $11,592,900 and $11,447,500 as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021,&lt;/em&gt; respectively, to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax assets that is more likely than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to be realized. The net deferred tax asset as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021&lt;/em&gt; relates entirely to non-US deferred tax assets which are expected to be realized by offset of deferred tax liability for withholding tax on cumulative undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; essentially permanent. The change in the valuation allowance totaled an increase of $145,400 and a decrease of $114,000 for the years ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021,&lt;/em&gt; respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.&#160; It is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;12&lt;/em&gt; months.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet. There was no liability for the payment of interest and penalties as of both &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;On &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 16, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;the Inflation Reduction Act (&#x201c;IRA&#x201d;) was signed into law in the United States. Among other provisions, the IRA includes a &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;15%&lt;/em&gt; corporate minimum tax rate applied to certain large corporations and a &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1%&lt;/em&gt; excise tax on corporate stock repurchases made after &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; December 31, 2022. &lt;/em&gt;We do &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; expect the IRA to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;the Company is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; longer subject to federal, state, local, or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years prior to &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2019.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Operating Leases&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company currently has operating leases for various buildings, equipment and vehicles. These leases are under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with expiration dates between &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 30, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; July 31, 2024. &lt;/em&gt;The Company has the option to extend certain leases to &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91484249"&gt;five&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c91484250"&gt;ten&lt;/span&gt;-year term(s) and has the right of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;first&lt;/em&gt; refusal on any sale.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its long-term operating leases as right-of-use assets. Upon initial adoption, using the modified retrospective transition approach, &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; leases with terms less than &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;12&lt;/em&gt; months have been capitalized to the consolidated balance sheet consistent with ASC &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;842.&lt;/em&gt; Instead, these leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line expense throughout the lives of the leases. &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;None&lt;/em&gt; of the Company&#x2019;s leases contain common area maintenance or security agreements.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company has made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;842,&lt;/em&gt; the most significant of which is that the Company elected the package of practical expedients available for transition that allow the Company to &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;842.&lt;/em&gt; Additionally, the Company did &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; elect to use hindsight when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset.

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Rent expense under these leases was approximately $272,336 and $386,345 as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021,&lt;/em&gt; respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Annual Bonus Plan&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;On &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 26, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#x2019;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2023. &lt;/em&gt;For fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2023,&lt;/em&gt; as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&#x2019;s earnings before interest, taxes, and other income (EBITOI), as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant&#x2019;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&#x2019;s annual base salary, and the individual&#x2019;s position and level of responsibility within the Company. In the case of each of the Company&#x2019;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be determined based upon the Company&#x2019;s actual EBITOI for fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2023&lt;/em&gt; compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2023,&lt;/em&gt; and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&#x2019;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan is discretionary, and bonuses &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock, the exact amount and percentages of which are determined by the Company&#x2019;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2023.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;On &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 26, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#x2019;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022. &lt;/em&gt;$1,733,336 was recognized for bonuses for the fiscal year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;$533,336 of the bonus is comprised of stock options granted to management on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2021 &lt;/em&gt;that will be expensed over &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; years and $1,200,000 will be paid out in cash and profit sharing subsequent to year end. This is compared to $2,366,668 recognized for bonuses for the fiscal year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;$266,667 of the bonus comprised of stock options granted to management on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2020 &lt;/em&gt;and $2,100,000 was paid out in cash and profit sharing subsequent to year end.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Two joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures in South Korea and Thailand) accounted for&#160;46.6% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;two&lt;/em&gt; joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures in the Thailand and Indonesia) accounted for 37.4% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Legal Matters &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&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;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; probable or the amount is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; materially affect the Company&#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;19.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;b&gt;FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company follows the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company&#x2019;s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and financial liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The hierarchy is broken down into &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; levels defined as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; width: 100%;"&gt;
    &lt;tbody&gt;
     &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 24px;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 72px; vertical-align: top;"&gt;Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1&lt;/em&gt; -&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 1656px;"&gt;Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.&lt;/td&gt;
     &lt;/tr&gt;

     &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 24px;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 72px; vertical-align: top;"&gt;Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2&lt;/em&gt; -&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 1656px;"&gt;Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.&lt;/td&gt;
     &lt;/tr&gt;

     &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 24px;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 72px; vertical-align: top;"&gt;Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;3&lt;/em&gt; -&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 1656px;"&gt;Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.&lt;/td&gt;
     &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;/tbody&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Assets and Liabilities That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily relate to marketable equity securities. These items are marked-to-market at each reporting period, and the Company estimates that market value approximates costs.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Financial assets that are classified as Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1&lt;/em&gt; securities include cash equivalents and available for sale securities. These are valued using quoted market prices in an active market.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company&#x2019;s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. There were &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; transfers between Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1,&lt;/em&gt; Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2,&lt;/em&gt; or Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;3&lt;/em&gt; during the fiscal years ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;or &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; August 31, 2021. &lt;/em&gt;When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;3,&lt;/em&gt; the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.&lt;/p&gt;
