<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 June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, <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 November 2018, issued ASU No. 2018-19 and in April 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-04 and in May 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-05, and in November 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-11, 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 December 15, 2022, 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 first 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;">From time to time, the Company is subject to various other claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable, and an amount could be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss may have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of November 30, 2022, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company&#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</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 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. 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. 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>

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 remained in place as of November 31, 2022. Because of these restrictions, NTIC continued to experience softened demand for its products in China during the first quarter of 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;">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 quarter of fiscal 2023 and, although these issues have shown some improvement, are expected to continue to some degree throughout 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 have recently improved but are expected to continue to some degree throughout 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;">NTIC&#x2019;s total ZERUST&#xae; net sales increased during the three months ended November 30, 2022, compared to the prior fiscal year period, primarily due to increased sales to new and existing customers as a result of increased global demand and targeted price increases on certain products, partially offset by a decrease in joint venture net sales. 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:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">ZERUST&#xae; oil and gas net sales increased 66.9% during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to the same period last fiscal year primarily as a result of new opportunities with new customers. 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 the three months ended November 30, 2022, 23.0% of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products, compared to 20.7% during the three months ended November 30, 2021. Sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products increased 21.6% to $4,582,765 during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $3,769,628 during the three months ended November 30, 2021 as a result of increased global demand. COVID-19 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. While NTIC has experienced a recovery in many of these areas to pre-pandemic levels, NTIC still expects some of these customers will be the last businesses to fully re-open and operate at full pre-pandemic capacities.</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 8.9% for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended November 30, 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 decreased slightly to 68.2% for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to 68.7% for the three months ended November 30, 2021 primarily as a result of passing along price increases to customers and increased sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry, which products carry higher margins than our Zerust industrial products. Although NTIC has taken certain actions to address inflationary pressures and pass on related cost increases to its customers, we expect some of these inflationary pressures to persist in fiscal 2023. Some improvements from these actions as well as some improvements in gross margin were realized in the three months ended November 30, 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 13.5% to $1,189,404 during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $1,374,749 during the three months ended November 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to 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 $871,144 attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $910,773 attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November 30, 2021. NTIC had equity in income from all other joint ventures of $318,260 during the three months ended November 30, 2022, compared to $463,976 during the three months ended November 30, 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 $1,181,805 during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $1,258,858 during the three months ended November 30, 2021, representing a decrease of 6.1%, or $77,053. 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 change in sales which was experienced by certain joint ventures during the three months ended November 30, 2022. Total net sales of NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures decreased to $24,730,289 during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $27,022,995 for the three months ended November 30, 2021, representing a decrease of 8.5%. This decrease was primarily a result of decreased demand during the three months ended November 30, 2022 due in part to geopolitical uncertainty. 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 $193,828 were attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $218,430 attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November 30, 2021.</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 8.3% for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to the same period in fiscal 2022 due primarily to an increase in travel and personnel expenses during the current fiscal year period compared to the prior fiscal year period. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 17.6% for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to 17.8% during the three months ended November 30, 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;">&#xa0;</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 20.6% for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to the same period in fiscal 2022 due primarily to increased professional services and travel and personnel expenses during the current fiscal year period compared to the prior fiscal year period, as well as expenses incurred during the current fiscal year period in connection with the startup of a new indirect, majority owned subsidiary formed to assume the operations of a former joint venture in Taiwan. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 15.7% for the three months ended November&#xa0;30, 2022 from 14.3% for the three months ended November 30, 2021 primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the increase in net 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;"><i>Research and Development Expenses</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s research and development expenses increased 1.7% for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to the same period in fiscal 2022 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 $6,168 during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $10,943 during the three months ended November 30, 2021 due primarily to changes in 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 $91,331 during the three months ended November&#xa0;30, 2022 compared to $2,891 during the three months ended November 30, 2021 due primarily to increased outstanding borrowings under the line of credit and increased interest rates, in each case during the current fiscal year period compared to the prior fiscal year period.</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 the three months ended November 30, 2021. This gain is included in &#x201c;Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee&#x201d; on NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations. There was no comparable such gain during the current fiscal year period.</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 $744,413 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to income before income tax expense of $5,226,213 for the three months ended November 30, 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 $110,733 during the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $504,380 during the three months ended November 30, 2021. 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:'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 $19,303,110 and $21,256,923 as of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, 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;"><i>Net Income Attributable to NTIC</i>. Net income attributable to NTIC decreased to $502,242, or $0.05 per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $4,493,759, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the $3,951,550 remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee recognized during the prior fiscal year period, which did not repeat this fiscal year, and to a lesser extent, the increase in operating expenses and cost of goods sold and decrease 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 to some extent by COVID-19, inflation and worldwide supply chain 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;"><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 the three months ended November 30, 2022 compared to the same period in fiscal 2022.</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 $25,408,920 as of November 30, 2022, including $6,066,321 in cash and cash equivalents and $5,590 in available for sale securities, compared to $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.</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;">On January 6, 2023, NTIC entered into a Credit Agreement (the &#x201c;Credit Agreement&#x201d;) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#x201c;JPM&#x201d;), which provides NTIC with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the &#x201c;Credit Facility&#x201d;) of up to $10.0 million. The Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. Unless terminated earlier, the Credit Facility will mature on January 6, 2024, and the principal amount thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on such date. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, at the option of NTIC, equal to either the CB Floating Rate or the Adjusted SOFR Rate. The term &#x201c;CB Floating Rate&#x201d; means the greater of the Prime Rate in the United States or 2.50%. The term &#x201c;Adjusted SOFR Rate&#x201d; means the term secured overnight financing rate for either one, three or six months (depending on the interest period selected by NTIC) plus 0.10% per annum. With respect to any borrowings using an Adjusted SOFR Rate, there is an applicable margin of 2.15% applied per annum. There is no applicable margin with respect to borrowings using a CB Floating Rate. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other matters, limitations on NTIC&#x2019;s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, engage in certain business operations and transactions, make certain investments, modify its organizational documents or form any new subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a negative covenant that restricts the ability of NTIC to redeem or repurchase its common stock or pay dividends if the result of which would cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. The term &#x201c;Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio&#x201d; means the ratio, computed for the NTIC on a consolidated basis, of net income plus income tax expense, plus amortization expense, plus depreciation expense, plus interest expense, and plus dividends received from joint ventures, minus unfinanced capital expenditures and equity in income from joint ventures, all computed for the twelve month period then ending, to scheduled principal payments made, plus scheduled finance lease payments made, plus interest expense paid, plus income tax expense paid, and plus cash distributions and dividends paid, all computed for the same twelve month period then ending. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, JPM may accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">As of November 30, 2022, NTIC had 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 November 30, 2022, $5,450,000 was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, compared to $2,500,000 outstanding as of November 30, 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 November 30, 2022, NTIC was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. As of November 30, 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. In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement described above, on January 6, 2023, loan agreement with PNC Bank was terminated.</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. During the remainder of 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, the formation of one or more new subsidiaries to assume the operations of a joint venture, and dissolutions or liquidations of one or more of its joint ventures. Some of these joint venture transitions may materially impact NTIC&#x2019;s results of operations for a particular reporting period. For example, the formation of a new indirect, majority owned subsidiary of NTIC to assume the operations of a former joint venture increased NTIC&#x2019;s operating expenses during the three months ended November 30, 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;">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;">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 borrowing under its revolving line of credit or raising additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities. There is no assurance that any financing transaction will be available on terms acceptable to NTIC or at all or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive to NTIC&#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 Flows</i>. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended November&#xa0;30, 2022 was $2,002,543, which resulted principally from dividends received from joint ventures, NTIC&#x2019;s net income, an increase in inventories, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation, partially offset by equity in income from joint ventures and an increase in accounts payable. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended November 30, 2021 was $3,319,024, which resulted principally from NTIC&#x2019;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, deferred income tax, depreciation expense, and stock-based compensation, partially offset by the remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee and equity in income from joint ventures.</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 a decrease in inventory as of November 30, 2022 compared to August 31, 2022. Trade receivables, excluding joint ventures, as of November&#xa0;30, 2022 increased $261,255 compared to August 31, 2022, 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, increased an average of 1 day to an average of 68 days from balances outstanding from these customers as of November 30, 2022 from an average of 67 days as of August 31, 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;">Outstanding trade receivables from joint ventures as of November 30, 2022 decreased $104,260 compared to August 31, 2022 primarily due to the timing of payments. Outstanding balances from trade receivables from joint ventures decreased an average of 4 days to an average of 85 days from balances outstanding from these customers as of November 30, 2022 from an average of 89 days as of August 31, 2022. The average days outstanding of trade receivables from joint ventures as of November 30, 2022 were primarily due to the receivables balances at NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures in Thailand and Japan.</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. NTIC anticipates its net sales in the second fiscal quarter may be adversely affected by the long Chinese New Year, the North American holiday season and overall less corrosion taking place at lower winter temperatures worldwide.</p>

<p style="font-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>Market Risk</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 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;">&#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:'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 outstanding advances under NTIC&#x2019;s revolving line of credit with PNC Bank bear interest at an annual rate based on daily BSBY plus 2.50%. As of November 30, 2022, NTIC had borrowings of $5,450,000 under the line of credit that existed as of that date.</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>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">All forward-looking statements included in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. 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: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;">&#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:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Any outstanding advances under NTIC&#x2019;s revolving line of credit with PNC Bank bear interest at an annual rate based on daily BSBY plus 2.50%. As of November 30, 2022, NTIC had borrowings of $5,450,000 under the line of credit that existed as of that date.</p>

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;">On January 6, 2023, Northern Technologies International Corporation entered into a Credit Agreement (the &#x201c;Credit Agreement&#x201d;) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#x201c;JPM&#x201d;), which provides NTIC with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the &#x201c;Credit Facility&#x201d;) of up to $10.0 million. The Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit.</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;">Unless terminated earlier, the Credit Facility will mature on January 6, 2024, and the principal amount thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on such date. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, at the option of NTIC, equal to either the CB Floating Rate or the Adjusted SOFR Rate. The term &#x201c;CB Floating Rate&#x201d; means the greater of the Prime Rate in the United States or 2.50%. The term &#x201c;Adjusted SOFR Rate&#x201d; means the term secured overnight financing rate for either one, three or six months (depending on the interest period selected by NTIC) plus 0.10% per annum. With respect to any borrowings using an Adjusted SOFR Rate, there is an applicable margin of 2.15% applied per annum. There is no applicable margin with respect to borrowings using a CB Floating Rate.</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 0pt 0pt -1pt;">The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other matters, limitations on NTIC&#x2019;s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, engage in certain business operations and transactions, make certain investments, modify its organizational documents or form any new subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a negative covenant that restricts the ability of NTIC to redeem or repurchase its common stock or pay dividends if the result of which would cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. The term &#x201c;Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio&#x201d; means the ratio, computed for the NTIC on a consolidated basis, of net income plus income tax expense, plus amortization expense, plus depreciation expense, plus interest expense, and plus dividends received from joint ventures, minus unfinanced capital expenditures and equity in income from joint ventures, all computed for the twelve month period then ending, to scheduled principal payments made, plus scheduled finance lease payments made, plus interest expense paid, plus income tax expense paid, and plus cash distributions and dividends paid, all computed for the same twelve month period then ending.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, JPM may accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements </i></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;">In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, <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 November 2018, issued ASU No. 2018-19 and in April 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-04 and in May 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-05, and in November 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-11, 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 December 15, 2022, 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 first 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;">Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

<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 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 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 were options outstanding to purchase 305,514 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended November 30, 2021 were options outstanding to purchase 311,061 shares of common stock.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">From time to time, the Company is subject to various other claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable, and an amount could be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss may have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of November 30, 2022, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company&#8217;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</p>

The expense was largely due to foreign operations. The Company has federal and state tax credit carry forwards, net operating loss carry forwards and foreign tax carry forwards. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets as of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">On January 6, 2023, Northern Technologies International Corporation entered into a Credit Agreement (the &#8220;Credit Agreement&#8221;) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#8220;JPM&#8221;), which provides NTIC with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the &#8220;Credit Facility&#8221;) of up to $10.0 million. The Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit.</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;">Unless terminated earlier, the Credit Facility will mature on January 6, 2024, and the principal amount thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on such date. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, at the option of NTIC, equal to either the CB Floating Rate or the Adjusted SOFR Rate. The term &#8220;CB Floating Rate&#8221; means the greater of the Prime Rate in the United States or 2.50%. The term &#8220;Adjusted SOFR Rate&#8221; means the term secured overnight financing rate for either one, three or six months (depending on the interest period selected by NTIC) plus 0.10% per annum. With respect to any borrowings using an Adjusted SOFR Rate, there is an applicable margin of 2.15% applied per annum. There is no applicable margin with respect to borrowings using a CB Floating Rate.</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 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other matters, limitations on NTIC&#8217;s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, engage in certain business operations and transactions, make certain investments, modify its organizational documents or form any new subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a negative covenant that restricts the ability of NTIC to redeem or repurchase its common stock or pay dividends if the result of which would cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. The term &#8220;Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio&#8221; means the ratio, computed for the NTIC on a consolidated basis, of net income plus income tax expense, plus amortization expense, plus depreciation expense, plus interest expense, and plus dividends received from joint ventures, minus unfinanced capital expenditures and equity in income from joint ventures, all computed for the twelve month period then ending, to scheduled principal payments made, plus scheduled finance lease payments made, plus interest expense paid, plus income tax expense paid,&#160;and plus cash distributions and dividends paid, all computed for the same twelve month period then ending.</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', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, JPM may accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies.</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;">In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement described above, on January 6, 2023, the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated August 31, 2021 between Northern Technologies International Corporation and PNC Bank, National Association was terminated.</p>

&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;In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, and present fairly the consolidated financial position of Northern Technologies International Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of November&#160;30, 2022 and August 31, 2022 and the results of the Company&#x2019;s operations for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, the changes in stockholders&#x2019; equity for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 and the Company&#x2019;s cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).&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;These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company&#x2019;s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. These consolidated financial statements also should be read in conjunction with the &#x201c;&lt;i&gt;Management&lt;/i&gt;&#x2019;&lt;i&gt;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&lt;/i&gt;&#x201d; section appearing in this report.&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;Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2023.&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 evaluates events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements requiring recording or 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;As a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related government mandated restrictions on the Company&#x2019;s business, as well as the businesses of its joint ventures, customers and suppliers, disruption to the Company&#x2019;s business and the manufacture and sale of its products and services continued to occur during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and may continue during the remainder of fiscal 2023. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company continued to be impacted by shipping issues, including increased costs, supply chain issues, including longer lead times, and raw material cost increases.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements &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;In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, &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 November 2018, issued ASU No. 2018-19 and in April 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-04 and in May 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-05, and in November 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-11, 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 December 15, 2022, 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 first 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;The Company had a revolving line of credit with a bank of $7,000,000 as of November 30, 2022. The line of credit had a maturity date of January 7, 2023 and bore interest at an annual rate equal to the daily Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield (BSBY) Index plus 250 basis points (2.50%).&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;Borrowings of $5,450,000 and $5,900,000 were outstanding under the line of credit as of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively. The average interest rate was 5.80% and 2.57% during the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021.&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 were secured by a lien on all of the Company&#x2019;s personal property, excepting certain liens. The loan agreement contained 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. As of November 30, 2022, 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;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;As of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, the Company did &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c692"&gt;&lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c694"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; have any letters of credit outstanding with respect to the letter of credit sub-facility available under the revolving line of credit with the bank.&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 January 6, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which provides the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $10.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. In connection with the execution of the new Credit Agreement, the prior loan agreement was terminated. See Note 16 entitled &#x201c;Subsequent Event.&#x201d;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

&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 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 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 were options outstanding to purchase 305,514 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended November 30, 2021 were options outstanding to purchase 311,061 shares of common stock.&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 no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss may have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of November 30, 2022, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company&#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.&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;On January 6, 2023, Northern Technologies International Corporation entered into a Credit Agreement (the &#x201c;Credit Agreement&#x201d;) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#x201c;JPM&#x201d;), which provides NTIC with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the &#x201c;Credit Facility&#x201d;) of up to $10.0 million. The Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit.&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;Unless terminated earlier, the Credit Facility will mature on January 6, 2024, and the principal amount thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on such date. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, at the option of NTIC, equal to either the CB Floating Rate or the Adjusted SOFR Rate. The term &#x201c;CB Floating Rate&#x201d; means the greater of the Prime Rate in the United States or 2.50%. The term &#x201c;Adjusted SOFR Rate&#x201d; means the term secured overnight financing rate for either one, three or six months (depending on the interest period selected by NTIC) plus 0.10% per annum. With respect to any borrowings using an Adjusted SOFR Rate, there is an applicable margin of 2.15% applied per annum. There is no applicable margin with respect to borrowings using a CB Floating Rate.&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 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other matters, limitations on NTIC&#x2019;s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, engage in certain business operations and transactions, make certain investments, modify its organizational documents or form any new subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a negative covenant that restricts the ability of NTIC to redeem or repurchase its common stock or pay dividends if the result of which would cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. The term &#x201c;Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio&#x201d; means the ratio, computed for the NTIC on a consolidated basis, of net income plus income tax expense, plus amortization expense, plus depreciation expense, plus interest expense, and plus dividends received from joint ventures, minus unfinanced capital expenditures and equity in income from joint ventures, all computed for the twelve month period then ending, to scheduled principal payments made, plus scheduled finance lease payments made, plus interest expense paid, plus income tax expense paid,&#160;and plus cash distributions and dividends paid, all computed for the same twelve month period then ending.&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', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, JPM may accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies.&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;In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement described above, on January 6, 2023, the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated August 31, 2021 between Northern Technologies International Corporation and PNC Bank, National Association was terminated.&lt;/p&gt;
