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&#x2019;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>

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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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>

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:c85092634">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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 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 over 45 years and, in recent years, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry. NTIC also markets and sells a portfolio of 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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, Harita-NTI 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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>

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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">On September 21, 2021, NTIC announced that it acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in its Indian joint venture, Zerust India, for $6,250,000 in cash, effective as of September 1, 2021.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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 an economic recession. The outbreak and continuing rapid spread of COVID-19 has resulted in the curtailment of business activities worldwide from time to time and has caused weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad.</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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, some of which remain in place in whole or in part and some of which have been or may be reinstated. Government restrictions, such as stay-at-home orders, quarantines and worker absenteeism as a result of COVID-19, led to a significant number of business closures and slowdowns. These 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.</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">As the events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, NTIC&#x2019;s primary focus was, and continues to be, the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees, customers and suppliers. In order to continue its operations, as permitted by respective state, local and foreign governments, NTIC has adopted numerous safety measures in accordance with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, and federal, state, local and foreign guidance in order to protect its employees, customers and suppliers. These safety measures include, but are not limited to, adhering to social distancing protocols, enabling the majority of its employees to work from home, suspending non-essential travel, disinfecting facilities and workspaces extensively and frequently, suspending all non-essential visitors and requiring employees who must be present at NTIC&#x2019;s facilities to wear face coverings. NTIC expects to continue such safety measures for the foreseeable future and may take further actions, or adapt these existing policies, as government authorities may require or recommend or as it may determine to be in the best interests of its employees, customers and suppliers.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">NTIC has been balancing its safety-focused approach with the needs of its customers. Government mandated measures resulting in the substantial curtailment of business activities generally have excluded certain essential businesses and services, including certain manufacturing. With the exception of the temporary closures of NTIC&#x2019;s facilities in China and India during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and again sporadically during 2021 and 2022, NTIC&#x2019;s manufacturing activities are generally considered part of the &#x201c;critical sector&#x201d; with respect to state and local government orders. This has allowed NTIC to continue to receive orders and provide uninterrupted order fulfillment to its customers. However, its facilities have been operating at a reduced capacity in order to abide by local government requirements and recommendations, such as social distancing practices, and in response to reduced demand. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, certain of NTIC&#x2019;s facilities continued to be impacted by reduced levels of production, manufacturing inefficiencies due to the reconfiguration of certain of its manufacturing processes in order to implement social distancing protocols and reduced demand. NTIC has engaged and continues to engage in communications with its suppliers in an attempt to identify and mitigate supply chain risks and shipping delays and proactively manage inventory levels in order to align production with demand. While domestic and international governmental measures may be modified or extended, NTIC currently expects that its global facilities will remain operational, although operating at reduced production capacity at certain of its facilities. However, such expectation is dependent upon future governmental actions and demand for NTIC&#x2019;s products, the stability of its global supply chain and the ability of carriers to transport supplies to its facilities and products to its customers.</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">As a result of the global economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, NTIC experienced softened demand in various regions and markets during the nine months ended May 31, 2022, which had an adverse effect on NTIC&#x2019;s operating results and financial condition. NTIC expects this softness in sales to continue through at least the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In addition, NTIC has experienced supply shortages and price increases on raw materials and increased labor costs, which have adversely affected its margins. NTIC has also experienced increased shipping costs and shipping delays as a result of freight container shortages. These issues have persisted into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and are expected to persist into fiscal 2023, especially in light of recently increased inflationary pressures. Due to the international reach of COVID-19, NTIC&#x2019;s international joint ventures have also been adversely impacted. It is not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior pre-pandemic levels for all business units.</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">Any of these events could materially adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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 the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and are expected to continue throughout the remainder of fiscal 2022 and into 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 quarters. Additionally, NTIC has experienced significantly longer shipping times and significant price increases per shipping container compared to prior fiscal quarters 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 are expected to continue through the remainder of fiscal 2022 and into 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">NTIC&#x2019;s total ZERUST&#xae; net sales increased during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, compared to the prior fiscal year periods, primarily due to $2,580,861 and $7,290,964, respectively, in incremental sales as a result of the Zerust India acquisition during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022. Additionally, there was increased demand for ZERUST&#xae; industrial products and services. Overall, demand for ZERUST&#xae; products and services depends heavily on the overall health of the markets in which NTIC sells its products, including the automotive, oil and gas, agriculture, and mining markets in particular.</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">ZERUST&#xae; oil and gas net sales increased 47.0% and 56.9% during the three and nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2022 compared to the prior fiscal year periods primarily as a result of new opportunities with new customers compared to the prior fiscal year periods. 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, 23.8% and 22.1% of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products, which increased 48.6% and 47.2% to $4,518,089 and $11,918,579 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021 as a result of increased global demand. The COVID-19 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 during the remainder of fiscal 2022 and into fiscal 2023.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i>. Cost of goods sold increased 25.3% and 37.0% for the three and nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2022, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 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 67.1% and 68.6% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, compared to 65.8% and 65.9% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021 primarily due to price increases on raw materials used in NTIC&#x2019;s products, as well as increased labor and shipping costs, partially offset by the increase in net sales. Although NTIC has taken certain actions to address inflationary pressures and pass on as much of the related cost increases on to its customers as possible, it expects some these inflationary pressures to persist into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and into fiscal 2023 and does not expect to fully realize all the benefits from its actions until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Some improvements in gross margin, however, were realized during the three months ended May 31, 2022.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><i>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures.</i> NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures decreased 32.9% and 36.6% to $1,364,597 and $3,662,178 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, compared to $2,033,536 and $5,779,260 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021, respectively. These decreases were 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 $2,324,605 attributable to EXCOR during the nine months ended May 31, 2022, compared to $3,182,691 during the nine months ended May 31, 2021. NTIC had equity in income from all other joint ventures of $1,337,572 during the nine months ended May 31, 2022, compared to $2,596,569 during the nine months ended May 31, 2021.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><i>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures.</i> NTIC recognized fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $1,329,988 and $3,835,755 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, compared to $1,589,621 and $4,388,866 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021, respectively, representing decreases of 16.3% and 12.6%, respectively. 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 amount of sales experienced by certain joint ventures. Total net sales of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures decreased to $26,594,077 and $78,218,839 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, compared to $31,959,539 and $87,795,284 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021, respectively, representing decreases of 16.8% and 10.9%, respectively. These decreases were primarily a result of decreased demand during the current fiscal year periods and the Zerust India acquisition since its sales were included in NTIC&#x2019;s net sales in the prior fiscal year periods. 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 $639,738 were attributable to EXCOR during the nine months ended May 31, 2022, compared to $692,770 attributable to EXCOR during the nine months ended May 31, 2021.</p>

NTIC&#x2019;s selling expenses increased 8.8% and 10.5% for the three and nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 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 the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 18.2% and 17.9% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, from 20.6% and 21.3% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the net sales increases, and partially offset by the increased selling expenses, as previously described.</p>

NTIC&#x2019;s general and administrative expenses increased 23.6% and 25.3% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 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 the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 13.5% and decreased to 14.2% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, compared to 13.4% and 14.9% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2021. The increase for the three-month comparison is due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the increase in net sales. The decrease for the six-month comparison is due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses.</p>

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 the nine months ended May 31, 2022.

Income tax expense was $604,314 and $1,260,437 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $276,338 and $929,588 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021, respectively. Income tax expense was calculated based on management&#x2019;s estimate of NTIC&#x2019;s annual effective income tax rate.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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 $20,844,284 and $24,702,778 as of May 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><i>Net Income Attributable to NTIC</i>. Net income attributable to NTIC decreased to $1,000,167, or $0.11 per diluted common share, for the three months ended May 31, 2022, compared to $2,053,916, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the three months ended May 31, 2021. Net income attributable to NTIC increased to $5,676,773, or $0.59 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended May 31, 2022, compared to $4,628,890, or $0.47 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended May 31, 2021. The decrease for the three-month comparison was primarily due to a significant increase in cost of goods sold, a decrease in joint venture operations and an increase in operating expenses in the current fiscal year period. The increase for the nine-month comparison was primarily due to 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, which was partially offset by a significant increase in cost of goods sold, a decrease in joint venture operations and an increase in operating expenses in the current fiscal year period.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">NTIC anticipates that its earnings for the remainder of fiscal 2022 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; text-align: justify;">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 will be decreased back to $5,000,000 effective as of August 16, 2022. As of May 31, 2022, $4,700,000 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 the Company&#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 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 May 31, 2022, NTIC was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. As of May 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">NTIC believes that a combination of its existing cash and cash equivalents, available for sale securities, forecasted cash flows from future operations, anticipated distributions of earnings, anticipated fees to NTIC for services provided to its joint ventures, and funds available through existing or anticipated financing arrangements will be adequate to fund its existing operations, investments in new or existing joint ventures or subsidiaries, capital expenditures, debt repayments, cash dividends, and any stock repurchases for at least the next 12 months. During the remainder of fiscal 2022 and 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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, including in particular its joint venture in Russia, which NTIC terminated in May 2022. The termination of its 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><i>Uses of Cash and Cash Flows</i>. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2022 was $1,778,094, which resulted principally from NTIC&#x2019;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax, partially offset by the remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee and equity in income from joint ventures. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended May 31, 2021 was $1,053,695, which resulted principally from NTIC&#x2019;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures and an increase in inventory, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other.</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements 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 recent 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; 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 the heading &#x201c;<i>Management</i>&#x2019;<i>s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations</i>.&#x201d;</p>

These uncertainties and factors are difficult to predict, and many of them are beyond NTIC&#x2019;s control. The following are 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:</p>

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. 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. Although NTIC believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, NTIC does not know whether its expectations will prove correct. 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. 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. 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. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission.</p>

  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b><i>The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect our business and results of operations.</i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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 in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b><i>The sale of ZERUST</i></b>&#xae;<b><i> rust and corrosion inhibiting products into the oil and gas industry is somewhat seasonal and dependent upon oil prices.</i></b></p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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. Although the price of crude oil is close to an all-time high, 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 global crude oil prices. Low global crude oil prices have been and may continue to be caused by oversupply, price wars between Saudi Arabia and Russia, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 ongoing 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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:c85092634">15.3%.</span></p>

   <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The amortization period for the intangible assets is <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c85092635">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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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 (<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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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:c85093008">ten</span> years and become exercisable over a <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c85093009">one</span>- or <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c85093010">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;"> May 31, 2022, </em>options to purchase an aggregate of 895,484 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;"> May 31, 2022, </em>options to purchase an aggregate of 654,789 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock were outstanding under the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan.</p>
   <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 174,840 and 419,874 shares of its common stock during the <em style="font: inherit;">nine</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> May 31, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;">2021,</em> respectively.&#160; 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.&#160; The Company recognized compensation expense of $232,883 and $698,649 during the <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">nine</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> May 31, 2022, </em>respectively, and compensation expense of $160,834 and $503,338 during the <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">nine</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> May 31, 2021, </em>respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period.&#160; As of <em style="font: inherit;"> May 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 $1,242,602.&#160; Stock-based compensation expense of $232,883 is expected through the remainder of fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022</em> and $671,526 and $338,193 is expected to be recognized during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2023</em> and fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2024,</em> respectively, based on outstanding options as of <em style="font: inherit;"> May 31, 2022.&#160; </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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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>

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;">2022</em> compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022,</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;">2022.</em> There was $1,200,000 recognized for management bonuses for the <em style="font: inherit;">nine</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> May 31, 2022, </em>compared to $1,800,000 recognized for management bonuses for the <em style="font: inherit;">nine</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> May 31, 2021.</em></p>

   <p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">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 <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> probable or the amount is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>have been incurred.

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;

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.

   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;Because the Company increased its ownership interest in Zerust India to 100%, the acquisition of Zerust India has been accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;805,&lt;/em&gt; Business Combinations, by using the acquisition method of accounting. 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;

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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&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:c85092634"&gt;15.3%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;The amortization period for the intangible assets is &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c85092635"&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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&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:c85092636"&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 &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 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 &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2022.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&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 $7,260,964 and $664,775, respectively. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $0 and $115,000, respectively, and are recorded in general and administrative expense as incurred during the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2022.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&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 &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2021 &lt;/em&gt;would have an increase in net sales $2,405,098 and $6,697,005, respectively. Unaudited pro forma net income, assuming the acquisition had occurred on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 1, 2020, &lt;/em&gt;for the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2021 &lt;/em&gt;was &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; considered material to the Company&#x2019;s consolidated net income. 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;

   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&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:c85093008"&gt;ten&lt;/span&gt; years and become exercisable over a &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c85093009"&gt;one&lt;/span&gt;- or &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c85093010"&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; May 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;options to purchase an aggregate of 895,484 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; May 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;options to purchase an aggregate of 654,789 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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 174,840 and 419,874 shares of its common stock during the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2022 &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2021,&lt;/em&gt; respectively.&#160; 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.&#160; The Company recognized compensation expense of $232,883 and $698,649 during the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;respectively, and compensation expense of $160,834 and $503,338 during the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2021, &lt;/em&gt;respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period.&#160; As of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 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 $1,242,602.&#160; Stock-based compensation expense of $232,883 is expected through the remainder of fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2022&lt;/em&gt; and $671,526 and $338,193 is expected to be recognized during fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2023&lt;/em&gt; and fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2024,&lt;/em&gt; respectively, based on outstanding options as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2022.&#160; &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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and results for the grants:&lt;/p&gt;

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;2022&lt;/em&gt; compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;2022,&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;2022.&lt;/em&gt; There was $1,200,000 recognized for management bonuses for the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2022, &lt;/em&gt;compared to $1,800,000 recognized for management bonuses for the &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;nine&lt;/em&gt; months ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; May 31, 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&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; May 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;
