<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt;">As previously announced in the Company&#x2019;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 21, 2023, on November 17, 2023, the management and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 require restatement to correct the accounting treatment of employee retention credits (ERCs) and disclosures, which ERCs were incorrectly recognized as income during such periods. The change will result in a decrease to net income attributable to NTIC of $474,000 and $466,000 during the three months ended February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The change to net income attributable to NTIC includes the effect of the adjustment on the management bonus accrual. In the course of preparing the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although the Company believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#x201c;more likely than not,&#x201d; the Company is not able to deem the receipt of the ERCs &#x201c;probable&#x201d; under U.S. generally accepted accounting practices (U.S. GAAP), therefore, requiring the restatement of the Company&#x2019;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and amendments to the Company&#x2019;s related previously filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt;">On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including ERCs, which are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of ERCs.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt;">The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company qualified for ERCs based on qualified wages paid in the first and second quarters of 2021 and filed for and recognized $573,751 and $566,006, respectively, of income from the ERCs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023.&#xa0; In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company concluded that it should have accounted for the ERCs as government grants in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (IAS 20) since U.S. GAAP does not provide for the accounting of government grants. Pursuant to IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until it is &#x201c;reasonably assured&#x201d; (similar to the &#x201c;probable&#x201d; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, at which time grant income is recorded on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. In connection with the preparation of the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although it believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#x201c;more likely than not,&#x201d; the Company is not able to deem the credits &#x201c;probable,&#x201d; and, therefore,&#xa0; cannot be reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met, requiring the restatement of the Company&#x2019;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt;">In connection with its evaluation of the restatements described above, management of the Company has concluded that a material weakness in the Company&#x2019;s internal control over financial reporting existed as of February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls over the probability assessment associated with the recognition of income related to the ERCs. See additional discussion included in Part I &#x2013; Item 4, &#x201c;Controls and Procedures&#x201d; of this Amended Report.</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;">On November 17, 2023, the management and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 require restatement to correct the accounting treatment of employee retention credits (ERCs) and disclosures, which ERCs were incorrectly recognized as income during such periods. In the course of preparing the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although the Company believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#x201c;more likely than not,&#x201d; the Company is not able to deem the receipt of the ERCs &#x201c;probable&#x201d; under U.S. generally accepted accounting practices (U.S. GAAP), therefore, requiring the restatement of the Company&#x2019;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and amendments to the Company&#x2019;s related previously filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.</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;">On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including ERCs, which are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of ERCs.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company qualified for ERCs based on qualified wages paid in the first and second quarters of 2021 and filed for and recognized $<ix:nonFraction id="c596" contextRef="i_2023-02-28_TaxCreditCarryforwardAxis-EmployeeRetentionCreditMember" unitRef="USD" name="us-gaap:GrantsReceivable" scale="0" format="ixt:num-dot-decimal" decimals="0">573,751</ix:nonFraction> and $<ix:nonFraction id="c597" contextRef="i_2023-05-31_TaxCreditCarryforwardAxis-EmployeeRetentionCreditMember" unitRef="USD" name="us-gaap:GrantsReceivable" scale="0" format="ixt:num-dot-decimal" decimals="0">566,006</ix:nonFraction>, respectively, of income from the ERCs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023.&#xa0; In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company concluded that it should have accounted for the ERCs as government grants in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (IAS 20) since U.S. GAAP does not provide for the accounting of government grants. Pursuant to IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until it is &#x201c;reasonably assured&#x201d; (similar to the &#x201c;probable&#x201d; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, at which time grant income is recorded on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. In connection with the preparation of the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although it believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#x201c;more likely than not,&#x201d; the Company is not able to deem the credits &#x201c;probable,&#x201d; and, therefore,&#xa0; cannot be reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met, requiring the restatement of the Company&#x2019;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023.</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 May 31, 2023, 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;">One of NTIC&#x2019;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets for its ZERUST&#xae; corrosion prevention technologies. Consequently, for the past several years, NTIC has focused significant sales and marketing efforts on the oil and gas industry, as the infrastructure that supports that industry is typically constructed using metals that are highly susceptible to corrosion. NTIC believes that its ZERUST&#xae; corrosion prevention solutions will minimize maintenance downtime on critical oil and gas industry infrastructure, extend the life of such infrastructure, and reduce the risk of environmental pollution due to leaks caused by corrosion.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC markets and sells its ZERUST&#xae; rust and corrosion prevention solutions to customers in the oil and gas industry 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>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Natur-Tec&#xae; bio-based and compostable plastics are manufactured using NTIC&#x2019;s patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics. The Natur-Tec&#xae; biopolymer resin compound portfolio includes formulations that have been optimized for a variety of applications, including blown-film extrusion, extrusion coating, injection molding, and engineered plastics. These resin compounds are certified to be fully biodegradable in a composting environment and are currently being used to produce finished products, including can liners, shopping and grocery bags, lawn and leaf bags, branded apparel packaging bags and accessories, and various foodservice items, such as disposable cutlery, drinking straws, food-handling gloves, and coated paper products. In North America, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products primarily through a network of regional and national distributors as well as independent agents. NTIC continues to see significant opportunities for finished bioplastic products and, therefore, continues to strengthen and expand its North American distribution network for finished Natur-Tec&#xae; bioplastic products.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Internationally, NTIC sells its Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products both directly and through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China and majority-owned subsidiaries in India and Sri Lanka and through distributors and certain 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;">As a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and related government mandated restrictions on NTIC&#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 nine months of fiscal 2023, including in particular in China, and may continue during the remainder of fiscal 2023. While demand in China improved during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as a result of government restrictions that were lifted, NTIC continued to experience softened demand for its products in China during the first nine months 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Worldwide supply chain disruptions, which were initially brought about by the impact of COVID-19, have persisted despite the recovery in the global economy and financial markets. These issues continued during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and, although these issues have shown some improvement, are expected to continue to some degree throughout the remainder of 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. These and other issues resulting from worldwide supply chain disruptions have improved but are expected to continue to some degree throughout the remainder of 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023, compared to the prior fiscal year periods, primarily due to increased demand in North American ZERUST industrial business and sales to new and existing oil and gas customers. 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;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">ZERUST&#xae; oil and gas net sales increased 32.7% and 77.6% during the three and nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2023 compared to the prior fiscal year periods primarily as a result of new opportunities with new and existing 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023, 23.2% and 22.4% of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products, compared to 23.8% and 22.1% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively. Sales of Natur-Tec&#xae; products increased 7.8% and 11.3% to $4,869,052 and $13,263,895 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to $4,518,089 and $11,918,579 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, as a result of increased global demand. The demand for Natur-Tec&#xae; products in most markets have returned to pre-pandemic levels, however, there are lingering effects in the apparel industry as well as corporate office complexes.</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 5.2% and 5.4% for the three and nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2023, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 primarily as a result of the increase in net sales, as described above.&#xa0; Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 63.9% and 65.8% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, compared to 67.1% and 68.6% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 primarily as a result of lower raw material prices and increased sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry, which products carry higher margins than our ZERUST&#xae; industrial products.&#xa0; NTIC has taken certain actions to address inflationary pressures and pass on related cost increases to its customers and some improvements from these actions, as well as some improvements in gross margin, were realized during the nine months ended May 31, 2023.</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;"><i>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures.</i> NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures decreased 1.3% and increased 0.1% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, to $1,346,658 and $3,664,793, respectively, compared to $1,364,597 and $3,662,178 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively. These immaterial changes were reflective of the immaterial changes in sales at the joint ventures for the same comparison periods. NTIC&#x2019;s equity in income from joint ventures fluctuates based on net sales and profitability of the joint ventures during the respective periods.&#xa0; Of the total equity in income from joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $2,376,575 attributable to EXCOR during the nine months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $2,324,605 attributable to EXCOR during the nine months ended May 31, 2022.&#xa0; NTIC had equity in income from all other joint ventures of $1,288,218 during the nine months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $1,337,572 during the nine months ended May 31, 2022.&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures.</i>&#xa0; NTIC recognized fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $1,361,311 and $3,795,862 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to $1,329,988 and $3,835,755 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, representing an increase of 2.4% and a decrease of 1.0%, respectively.&#xa0; 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 experienced by certain joint ventures.&#xa0; Net sales at the joint ventures decreased 1.1% and 2.2% to $26,312,548 and $76,525,427 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to $26,594,077 and $78,218,839 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively. 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.&#xa0; Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures, fees of $606,189 were attributable to EXCOR during the nine months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $639,738 attributable to EXCOR during the nine months ended May 31, 2022.&#xa0;&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Selling Expenses</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s selling expenses increased 12.8% and 13.8% for the three and nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to an increase in personnel expense during the current fiscal year period compared to the prior fiscal year period, and expenses incurred during the current fiscal year periods in connection with the startup of a new indirect, majority owned subsidiary formed to assume the operations of a former joint venture in Taiwan.&#xa0; Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.6% and 18.6% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, from 18.2% and 17.9% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, primarily due to the increased selling expenses, as noted above.</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 25.2% and 23.4% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to increased professional services and travel and personnel expenses during the current fiscal year periods compared to the prior fiscal year periods, as well as expenses incurred during the current fiscal year periods in connection with the startup of a new indirect, majority owned subsidiary formed to assume the operations of a former joint venture in Taiwan.&#xa0; As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 15.3% and 16.0% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, from 13.5% and 14.2% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, as noted above.</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 16.3% and 3.5% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in fiscal 2022 primarily due to the timing of expenses incurred for both comparisons and a decrease in expenses associated with development efforts for the nine-month comparison.&#xa0; &#xa0;&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Interest Income</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s interest income decreased to $8,876 and $18,495 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to $15,925 and $36,777 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, primarily due 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 $136,168 and $342,643 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively compared $23,784 and $34,079 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 primarily due to increased outstanding borrowings under the line of credit, new term loans incurred by NTIC&#x2019;s subsidiary in China and increased interest rates, in each case during the current fiscal year periods compared to the prior fiscal year periods.</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 nine months ended May 31, 2022. This gain is included in &#x201c;Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee&#x201d; on NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2022. There was no comparable gain during the current fiscal year period.</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 $1,779,294 and $3,225,570 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to $1,815,077 and $7,489,018 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, respectively.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Income Tax Expense</i>. Income tax expense was $542,295 and $834,823 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, compared to $604,314 and $1,260,437 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022, 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:'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 $20,493,861 and $21,256,923 as of May 31, 2023 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;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Net Income Attributable to NTIC</i>. Net income attributable to NTIC increased to $1,059,590, or $0.11 per diluted common share, for the three months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $1,000,167, or $0.11 per diluted common share, for the three months ended May 31, 2022.&#xa0; This increase was a result of the increase in gross profit and joint venture income contribution, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses and interest expense. Net income attributable to NTIC decreased to $1,973,329, or $0.20 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended May 31, 2023, compared to $5,676,773, or $0.59 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended May 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the $3,951,550 remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee recognized during the prior fiscal year periods, which did not repeat this fiscal year, and to a lesser extent, the increase in operating expenses, partially offset by the increase in gross profit.</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 - 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2022.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Sources of Cash and Working Capital</i>. NTIC&#x2019;s working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $22,799,589 as of May 31, 2023, including $6,195,194 in cash and cash equivalents, 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.&#xa0; &#xa0;&#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. Borrowings of $5,200,000 were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of May 31, 2023.</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;">To secure the Credit Agreement, the Company assigned to JPM a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interested in collateral made up for the assets of the Company.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The 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. As of May 31, 2023, NTIC was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Credit Agreement.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In 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>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">On each of April 10, 2023 and May 30, 2023, the Company&#x2019;s wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC China, entered into a loan agreement with China Construction Bank Corporation.&#xa0; Each term loan provided NTIC China with a RMB 10,000,000 (USD $1.45 million). Each of the term loans matures after one year with the principal due at that time, after which an extension of the loan agreement is required. Both term loans have an annual interest rate of 3.25% with interest due monthly. Both term loans are secured by an office building owned by NTIC China and the loan agreements contain certain financial and other covenants.&#xa0; The Company was is in compliance with the covenants as of May 31, 2023.

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;">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 nine months ended May 31, 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;">NTIC traditionally has used the cash generated from its operations, distributions of earnings from joint ventures and fees for services provided to its joint ventures to fund NTIC&#x2019;s new technology investments and capital contributions to new and existing subsidiaries and joint ventures. NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures traditionally have operated with little or no debt and have been self-financed with minimal initial capital investment and minimal additional capital investment from their respective owners. Therefore, NTIC believes there is limited exposure by NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures that could materially impact their respective operations and/or liquidity.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In order to take advantage of new product and market opportunities to expand its business and increase its revenues and assist with joint venture transitions, NTIC may decide to finance such opportunities by additional 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;">&#xa0;</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 nine months ended May&#xa0;31, 2023 was $3,505,803, which resulted principally from NTIC&#x2019;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation, partially offset by equity in income from joint ventures. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended May 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.</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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>Capital Expenditures and Commitments</i>.&#xa0; NTIC spent $2,607,988 on capital expenditures during the nine months ended May 31, 2023, which related primarily to a new warehouse facility, equipment and facility improvements, including the purchase of the property immediately adjacent to NTIC&#x2019;s headquarters in Circle Pines, Minnesota, which includes a 26,000 square foot industrial building, and related renovations. The building will be used primarily for warehousing space and light industrial production.&#xa0; NTIC expects to spend an aggregate of approximately $2,600,000 to $3,100,000 on capital expenditures during fiscal 2023, which it expects will relate primarily to the purchase of the new warehouse facility, equipment and facility improvements, including approximately $1,000,000 in renovations on the property and building described above.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although inflation in the United States and abroad historically has had little effect on NTIC, inflationary pressures adversely affected NTIC&#x2019;s gross margins during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and are expected to persist into at least the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. NTIC believes there is some seasonality in its business. NTIC&#x2019;s net sales in the second fiscal quarter were adversely affected by the long Chinese New Year, the North American holiday season and overall less corrosion taking place at lower winter temperatures worldwide.</p>

<p style="font-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>

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report or expressed by NTIC orally from time to time that address activities, events, or developments that NTIC expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, in particular, the statements about NTIC&#x2019;s plans, objectives, strategies, and prospects regarding, among other things, NTIC&#x2019;s financial condition, results of operations and business, the anticipated effect of COVID-19 and its acquisition of Zerust India on NTIC&#x2019;s business, operating results and financial condition, and the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings. NTIC has identified some of these forward-looking statements in this report with words like &#x201c;believe,&#x201d; &#x201c;can,&#x201d; &#x201c;may,&#x201d; &#x201c;could,&#x201d; &#x201c;would,&#x201d; &#x201c;might,&#x201d; &#x201c;forecast,&#x201d; &#x201c;possible,&#x201d; &#x201c;potential,&#x201d; &#x201c;project,&#x201d; &#x201c;will,&#x201d; &#x201c;should,&#x201d; &#x201c;expect,&#x201d; &#x201c;intend,&#x201d; &#x201c;plan,&#x201d; &#x201c;predict,&#x201d; &#x201c;anticipate,&#x201d; &#x201c;estimate,&#x201d; &#x201c;approximate,&#x201d; 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>

<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;">NTIC maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by NTIC in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#x2019;s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#x2019;s management, including NTIC&#x2019;s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.&#xa0; 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.&#xa0; Based on the evaluation at the time of NTIC&#x2019;s Original Report, 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: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.&#xa0;The Company did not maintain effective controls over the probability assessment associated with the recognition of income related to employee retention credits (ERCs).</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including ERCs, which are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; 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;">NTIC engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined NTIC qualified for ERCs.<b> </b>NTIC qualified for ERCs on qualified wages paid in the first and second quarters of 2021 and filed for and recognized income from the ERCs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023.&#xa0; In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, NTIC concluded that it should have accounted for the ERCs as government grants in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (IAS 20) since U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) do not provide for the accounting of government grants. Pursuant to IAS 20, NTIC cannot recognize any income from the grant until it is &#x201c;reasonably assured&#x201d; that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, at which time grant income is recorded on a systematic basis over the periods in which NTIC recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, NTIC determined that it was not yet reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met, requiring the restatement of its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023. Management determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness in NTIC&#x2019;s internal control over financial reporting.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; 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;">NTIC&#x2019;s management is taking steps to remediate the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting relating to the proper accounting treatment of the ERCs. These steps will include the preparation of a technical accounting memorandum for any material unusual transactions including careful evaluation of any probability assessments or other areas of judgment involved, such as the ERCs, to determine the correct accounting treatment for such transactions. Management believes the additional control procedures designed, and when implemented, will fully remediate the material weakness.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although Item 1A. is inapplicable to NTIC as a smaller reporting company, NTIC hereby discloses the following revised risk factor described in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 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;"><b><i>The operations of NTIC China may be adversely affected by China</i></b>&#x2019;<b><i>s evolving economic, political, and social conditions as well as increasing tensions between the United States and China.</i></b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The results of operations and future prospects of NTIC China may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in China&#x2019;s political, economic, and social conditions, changes in the relationship between China and its western trade partners, changes in policies of the Chinese government, changes in laws and regulations or in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations, changes in foreign exchange regulations, measures that may be introduced to control inflation, such as interest rate increases, changes in the rates or methods of taxation, and increasing tensions between the United States and China. In addition, changes in demand could result from increased competition with local Chinese manufacturers who have cost advantages or who may be preferred suppliers for Chinese end users. Also, Chinese commercial laws, regulations, and interpretations applicable to non-Chinese owned market participants, such as NTIC China, are continually changing, and such changes may require NTIC China to change how it conducts its business. These laws, regulations, and interpretations could impose restrictions on NTIC&#x2019;s and NTIC China&#x2019;s ownership or operations or NTIC&#x2019;s interests in China and could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&#xa0;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Local regulations in China related to the electric power shortage that began in 2021 may adversely affect NTIC China&#x2019;s operations or the operations of our suppliers with facilities in China. For example, these regulations could result in partial or complete factory shutdowns due to a lack of continuous supply of electrical power. Additionally, the price of electric power may be increased, and peak-demand periods during which prices are higher may be extended by local governments. Certain of our resin suppliers with facilities in China were adversely impacted by these regulations, which contributed to constrained supply. Although NTIC China&#x2019;s operations have not been significantly impacted by regulations related to electric power shortages to date, such regulations may in the future decrease or shut down production or increase product costs, which could adversely affect NTIC&#x2019;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><b><i>NTIC has identified a material weakness in its internal controls, and cannot provide assurances that this weakness will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.</i></b></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;">If NTIC&#x2019;s internal control over financial reporting or its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, NTIC may not be able to accurately report its financial results, which may cause investors to lose confidence in NTIC&#x2019;s reported financial information and may lead to a decline in its stock price.</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;">NTIC&#x2019;s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, which is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. NTIC&#x2019;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company&#x2019;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">During the preparation of NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, NTIC&#x2019;s management identified a material weakness in NTIC&#x2019;s internal control over financial reporting relating to the probability assessment associated with the recognition of income related to employee retention credits that may be available to NTIC under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (&#x201c;CARES Act&#x201d;) and subsequent legislation providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, which employee retention credits are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes. While NTIC is taking steps to remediate the material weakness, NTIC cannot provide any assurance that such remedial measures, or any other remedial measures NTIC takes, will be effective. If NTIC fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, NTIC may not be able to accurately report its financial results, which may, among other adverse consequences, cause investors to lose confidence in NTIC&#x2019;s reported financial information and lead to a decline in its stock price.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">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 May 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, the results of the Company&#8217;s operations <span style="text-decoration: underline; ">and other comprehensive income </span>for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the changes in stockholders&#8217; equity for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, and the Company&#8217;s cash flows for the nine months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).</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;">These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company&#8217;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 &#8220;<i>Management</i>&#8217;<i>s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations</i>&#8221; section appearing in this report.</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;">Operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2023.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements</i></b></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;">On November 17, 2023, the management and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 require restatement to correct the accounting treatment of employee retention credits (ERCs) and disclosures, which ERCs were incorrectly recognized as income during such periods. In the course of preparing the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although the Company believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#8220;more likely than not,&#8221; the Company is not able to deem the receipt of the ERCs &#8220;probable&#8221; under U.S. generally accepted accounting practices (U.S. GAAP), therefore, requiring the restatement of the Company&#8217;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and amendments to the Company&#8217;s related previously filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.</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;">On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including ERCs, which are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of ERCs.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; 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;">The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company qualified for ERCs based on qualified wages paid in the first and second quarters of 2021 and filed for and recognized $573,751 and $566,006, respectively, of income from the ERCs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023.&#160; In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company concluded that it should have accounted for the ERCs as government grants in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (IAS 20) since U.S. GAAP does not provide for the accounting of government grants. Pursuant to IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until it is &#8220;reasonably assured&#8221; (similar to the &#8220;probable&#8221; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, at which time grant income is recorded on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. In connection with the preparation of the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although it believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#8220;more likely than not,&#8221; the Company is not able to deem the credits &#8220;probable,&#8221; and, therefore,&#160; cannot be reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met, requiring the restatement of the Company&#8217;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023.</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;">On January 6, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the &#8220;Credit Agreement&#8221;) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#8220;JPM&#8221;), which provides the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the &#8220;Credit Facility&#8221;) of up to $10.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. Borrowings of $5,200,000 under the new Credit Agreement were outstanding May 31, 2023.&#160;Borrowings of $5,900,000&#160;were outstanding as of August 31, 2022 under the previous credit agreement.</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 the Company, 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 the Company) 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', 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;">To secure the Credit Agreement, the Company assigned to JPM a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interested in collateral made up for the assets of the Company.</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 the Company&#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 the Company 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 Company 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;">&#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>

<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;">In accordance with ASC Topic No.&#160;470,&#160;&#8220;Debt &#8211; Modifications and Extinguishments&#8221;&#160;(Topic 470), the transactions noted above were determined to be a modification of the existing debt.</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;">On each of April 10, 2023 and May 30, 2023, the Company&#8217;s wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC China, entered into a loan agreement with China Construction Bank Corporation.&#160; Each term loan provided NTIC China with a RMB 10,000,000 (USD $1.45 million). Each of the term loans matures after one year with the principal due at that time, after which an extension of the loan agreement is required. Both term loans have an annual interest rate of 3.25% with interest due monthly. Both term loans are secured by an office building owned by NTIC China and the loan agreements contain certain financial and other covenants.&#160; The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of May 31, 2023. The current outstanding balance as of May 31, 2023 for both term loans was USD $2,812,504.</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. Diluted net income per share assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method, if dilutive.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of the Company&#8217;s common stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Net income per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023 were options outstanding to purchase 322,246 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 were options outstanding to purchase 327,793 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 May 31, 2023, 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>

&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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; 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 May 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, the results of the Company&#x2019;s operations &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline; "&gt;and other comprehensive income &lt;/span&gt;for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the changes in stockholders&#x2019; equity for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, and the Company&#x2019;s cash flows for the nine months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023 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;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;On November 17, 2023, the management and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 require restatement to correct the accounting treatment of employee retention credits (ERCs) and disclosures, which ERCs were incorrectly recognized as income during such periods. In the course of preparing the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although the Company believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#x201c;more likely than not,&#x201d; the Company is not able to deem the receipt of the ERCs &#x201c;probable&#x201d; under U.S. generally accepted accounting practices (U.S. GAAP), therefore, requiring the restatement of the Company&#x2019;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 and amendments to the Company&#x2019;s related previously filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.&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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including ERCs, which are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of ERCs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&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;"&gt;The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company qualified for ERCs based on qualified wages paid in the first and second quarters of 2021 and filed for and recognized $573,751 and $566,006, respectively, of income from the ERCs in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023.&#160; In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company concluded that it should have accounted for the ERCs as government grants in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (IAS 20) since U.S. GAAP does not provide for the accounting of government grants. Pursuant to IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until it is &#x201c;reasonably assured&#x201d; (similar to the &#x201c;probable&#x201d; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, at which time grant income is recorded on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. In connection with the preparation of the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Company determined that although it believes the collection of the ERCs are still &#x201c;more likely than not,&#x201d; the Company is not able to deem the credits &#x201c;probable,&#x201d; and, therefore,&#160; cannot be reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met, requiring the restatement of the Company&#x2019;s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and three and nine months ended May 31, 2023.&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;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&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, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the &#x201c;Credit Agreement&#x201d;) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#x201c;JPM&#x201d;), which provides the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the &#x201c;Credit Facility&#x201d;) of up to $10.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. Borrowings of $5,200,000 under the new Credit Agreement were outstanding May 31, 2023.&#160;Borrowings of $5,900,000&#160;were outstanding as of August 31, 2022 under the previous credit agreement.&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 the Company, 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 the Company) 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', 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;To secure the Credit Agreement, the Company assigned to JPM a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interested in collateral made up for the assets of the Company.&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 the Company&#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 the Company 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 Company 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.&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 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;

&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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;In accordance with ASC Topic No.&#160;470,&#160;&#x201c;Debt &#x2013; Modifications and Extinguishments&#x201d;&#160;(Topic 470), the transactions noted above were determined to be a modification of the existing debt.&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: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;On each of April 10, 2023 and May 30, 2023, the Company&#x2019;s wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC China, entered into a loan agreement with China Construction Bank Corporation.&#160; Each term loan provided NTIC China with a RMB 10,000,000 (USD $1.45 million). Each of the term loans matures after one year with the principal due at that time, after which an extension of the loan agreement is required. Both term loans have an annual interest rate of 3.25% with interest due monthly. Both term loans are secured by an office building owned by NTIC China and the loan agreements contain certain financial and other covenants.&#160; The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of May 31, 2023. The current outstanding balance as of May 31, 2023 for both term loans was USD $2,812,504.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of the Company&#x2019;s common stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Net income per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023 were options outstanding to purchase 322,246 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2022 were options outstanding to purchase 327,793 shares of common stock.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;From time to time, the Company is subject to various other claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable and an amount could be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when 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 May 31, 2023, 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;
