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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC) develops and markets proprietary, environmentally beneficial products and services in over 65 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. NTIC&#8217;s primary business is corrosion prevention products and services, marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#174; brand. NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#174; products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for over 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&#174; brand. These sustainable packaging products are intended to reduce NTIC&#8217;s customers&#8217; 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products include plastic and paper packaging, liquids, coatings, rust removers, cleaners, and diffusers as well as engineered solutions designed specifically for the oil and gas industry. NTIC also offers worldwide, on-site, technical consulting for rust and corrosion prevention issues. NTIC&#8217;s technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; 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&#174; 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Internationally, NTIC sells its ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), its wholly-owned subsidiary in India, HNTI Limited (Zerust India), its majority-owned joint venture holding company for NTIC&#8217;s joint venture investments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), and certain other 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">One of NTIC&#8217;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets for its ZERUST&#174; 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&#174; 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC markets and sells its ZERUST&#174; 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&#174; 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Natur-Tec&#174; bio-based and compostable plastics are manufactured using NTIC&#8217;s patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics.&#160; The Natur-Tec&#174; biopolymer resin compound portfolio includes formulations that have been optimized for a variety of applications, including blown-film extrusion, coatings, injection molding, thermoforming, profile extrusion and engineered plastics.&#160; These resin compounds are certified to be fully biodegradable in a commercial 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.&#160; In North America, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products primarily through a network of regional and national distributors as well as independent agents.&#160; 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&#174; bioplastic products.</p>

While most of NTIC&#8217;s subsidiaries exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the subsidiaries also sell NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished goods. The following table sets forth a list of NTIC&#8217;s operating subsidiaries as of November 19, 2024, the country in which the subsidiary is organized, and NTIC&#8217;s ownership percentage in each subsidiary:</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;">NTIC derives revenues directly and/or indirectly through its subsidiaries and joint ventures from two reportable business segments based on products sold, customer base, and distribution center: ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention solutions and Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products.</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;"><b><i>ZERUST</i></b>&#174;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;"> </sup><b><i>Corrosion Prevention Solutions</i></b>. In fiscal 2024, 74.2% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales were derived from developing, manufacturing and marketing ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services. NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales in fiscal 2024 included $63,092,575 in sales of ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services, an increase of 2.2% from such sales in fiscal 2023. Corrosion not only damages the appearance of metal products and components but also negatively impacts their mechanical performance. This applies to the rusting of ferrous metals (iron and steel) and the deterioration by oxidation of nonferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.).&#160; NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention solutions include plastic and paper packaging, powders, liquids, coatings, rust removers, cleaners, diffusers, and engineered solutions for the oil and gas industry as well as technical corrosion management and consulting services.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Plastic and Paper Packaging</i>. NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; packaging products contain proprietary chemical formulations that continuously release an invisible, odorless and non-toxic vapor that forms a passivating layer on any metal surfaces it comes in contact with and thereby inhibits rust and corrosion. The corrosion inhibiting protection is maintained only as long as the metal products to be protected remain enclosed within the ZERUST&#174;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;"> </sup>packaging. Electron scanning shows that once metal products are removed from the ZERUST&#174;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;"> </sup>packaging, the ZERUST&#174;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;"> </sup>protective layer dissipates from the contents&#8217; surfaces within two hours, leaving a clean, dry, and corrosion-free metal component. This mechanism of corrosion protection enables NTIC&#8217;s customers to easily package metal objects for rust-free shipment and/or long-term storage. Furthermore, by eliminating costly greasing and degreasing processes and/or significantly reducing the use of certain coatings to inhibit corrosion, NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;"> </sup>corrosion prevention solutions provide customers significant savings as compared to traditional methods of corrosion prevention in terms of labor, material, and capital expenditures for equipment to apply, remove, and dispose of oils and greases, as well as environmental, health and safety benefits provided by not having to handle and work with hazardous chemicals.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC was the first in the world to develop the means of infusing volatile corrosion inhibiting chemical compounds (VCIs) into polyethylene and polypropylene resins. Combining ZERUST&#174;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;"> </sup>chemical compounds with polyethylene and polypropylene resins permitted NTIC to introduce a line of plastic packaging products in the form of low and high-density polyethylene bags and shroud film, including stretch, shrink, skin, and bubble cushioning film, thereby giving customers the ability to ship and store ferrous, nonferrous, and mixed-metal products in a clean, dry, and corrosion-free condition, at an overall savings in total process costs. In addition to plastic packaging, NTIC has also developed VCI compounds to imbue kraft paper, corrugated cardboard, solid fiber, and chipboard packaging materials with corrosion protection properties. NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; plastic and paper packaging products come in various thicknesses, strength enhancements, protection types, shapes, and sizes. This product line also includes items such as ZERUST&#174; gun cases, car covers, and tool-drawer liners, which are targeted at retail consumers.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Liquids and Coatings</i>. NTIC&#8217;s corrosion prevention solutions include a line of metal surface treatment liquids and coatings, which are oil, water, or bio-solvent based, and are marketed under brand names including Axxatec&#8482;, Axxanol&#8482;, and Z-Maxx&#8482;. These liquids and coatings provide powerful protection in aggressively corrosive environments, such as salt air, high humidity, and/or high temperatures. Products are formulated for most metal types and protection levels. For exceptionally harsh environments, customers may choose to use a combination of NTIC&#8217;s liquids and coatings with ZERUST&#174; plastic and/or paper products to achieve robust corrosion protection during manufacturing, shipping, and warehousing stages.</p>

NTIC also sells rust removal and cleaning products, under the Axxaclean&#8482; brand name, designed to restore rusty parts to a usable condition without the use of labor-intensive, abrasive cleaners that damage surfaces and commonly fail to remove rust from complex metal surfaces, like the teeth of small gears.</p>

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

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

These diffusers are designed to protect metals within enclosures, like switch gearboxes and electronics cabinets, or can be used as extra protection when added to ZERUST&#174; packaging products. Diffusers work by permeating the interior air of an enclosure with an invisible and odorless corrosion inhibiting vapor that settles as a protective layer on all metal surfaces that are within the range of a specific &#8220;radius of protection&#8221; for a period of one or two years depending on the product model. This invisible and dry protective layer revaporizes and dissipates into the air upon removal of a diffuser from an enclosure, leaving all surfaces clean, dry, residue-free, and corrosion-free.&#160;</p>

In fiscal 2024, sales of ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention solutions to large customers in the oil and gas industry continued to become more consistent, with these customers continuing to re-order products. Sales within the U.S. also stabilized somewhat, and key customer relationships were expanded. While NTIC believes these trends show increased acceptance of corrosion solutions for the oil and gas industry, NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services into the oil and gas industry will continue to remain subject to significant volatility, specifically due to economic factors, such as potential crude oil price changes and global supply/demand churn. NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services into the oil and gas industry may be subject to additional volatility due to uncertainty caused by certain environmental policies and priorities of the current administration. Demand for ZERUST&#174; oil and gas products around the world depends primarily on market acceptance and the reach of NTIC&#8217;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size of NTIC&#8217;s net sales derived from sales of oil and gas products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#8217;s sales compared to prior fiscal year period sales. Projects in South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia are still a small but growing, strategically important part of the sales growth picture.&#160;</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 infrastructure/assets that support the oil and gas industry are predominantly constructed using metals that are highly susceptible to corrosion. The industrial environment at these facilities usually contains compounds, including sulfides and chlorides, which cause aggressive corrosion. This problem affects the service life and safety of pipelines, petroleum storage tanks, spare parts in long-term storage, coastal/offshore assets, and other critical equipment.&#160;In addition to the costs associated with the replacement of parts and structures, maintenance and repairs, and product loss, there are significant economic losses associated with critical infrastructure being down for repair and maintenance.&#160; Furthermore, there are also considerable health, safety, and environmental risks caused by corrosion that can greatly increase economic losses. While the industry predominantly uses various paints/coatings, engineered alloys, cathodic protection, etc. to mitigate corrosion, there are several situations where such options are not feasible and, in many such cases, NTIC believes that its ZERUST&#174; oil and gas corrosion prevention solutions are more effective at minimizing maintenance downtime on critical oil and gas industry infrastructure, extend the life of such infrastructure, and reduce the risk of environmental pollution due to leaks caused by corrosion.</p>

While NTIC is unaware of any third parties with which NTIC competes on a worldwide basis with respect to its corrosion prevention solutions, NTIC does compete with several third parties on a regional basis. NTIC evaluates competing rust and corrosion inhibiting products on an ongoing basis. Some of NTIC&#8217;s competitors are established companies that may have financial resources, marketing capabilities, distribution networks and other resources substantially greater than those of NTIC. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than NTIC. With respect to its rust and corrosion inhibiting products, NTIC competes on the basis of product innovation, quality, reliability, product support, customer service, reputation, and price. Some of NTIC&#8217;s competitors may have achieved significant market acceptance of their competing products and brand recognition. NTIC, however, believes it has an advantage over most of its competitors as a result of NTIC&#8217;s technical innovation and its value-added services. NTIC attempts to provide its customers with the highest level of technical service and applications engineering in addition to ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products. Nonetheless, the commoditization of certain of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products has led, and may continue to lead, to lower prices and lower margins on such products. In addition, because certain barriers to entry are low, additional competitors may emerge, which likely would lead to the further commoditization of NTIC&#8217;s rust and corrosion inhibiting products.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Diversity and Inclusion</i></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Diversity and inclusion are embedded in NTIC&#8217;s values and integrated into its strategies. NTIC&#8217;s Human Rights Policy was designed to align with the United Nations Global Compact and core elements of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. NTIC is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully, and have equal opportunities.

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC offers an educational assistance benefit program to eligible employees. NTIC may reimburse all or part of the registration and tuition costs for full-time employees who continue their education in a work-related field. In addition to educational assistance for formal education, NTIC may arrange training programs that enable employees to progress in their technical, commercial, or financial knowledge of NTIC&#8217;s business.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Compensation and Benefits</i></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s compensation program is designed to attract and retain talented employees in the industry by offering competitive compensation and benefits. NTIC has established fair and competitive pay levels that are based on local markets and job descriptions and are not based on gender, age, ethnicity, nationality or other personal characteristics or beliefs. NTIC provides compensation and benefits that are competitive and comply with applicable laws, and NTIC commits to a fair and living wage.</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;">NTIC&#8217;s employees have immediate eligibility to participate in NTIC&#8217;s 401(k) employee savings plan. Employees are immediately vested upon contributing to the 401(k) employee savings plan. NTIC matches 401(k) contributions made by employes and may also make profit-sharing contributions. NTIC believes these profit-sharing contributions are a meaningful way of sharing NTIC&#8217;s success with its employees.</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;">To further the goal of sharing NTIC&#8217;s success with its employees and incentivizing strong employee performance, NTIC may award cash bonuses to its employees. Additionally, NTIC has an employee stock purchase plan, which allows employees to purchase NTIC stock at a 10% discount to fair market value. NTIC believes that this gives employees an interest in providing for the continued success of the business, encourages regular and scheduled investing, and is a means of supplementing individual savings programs.</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;">As part of its compensation package, NTIC provides employees with access to a medical plan with an employee-funded health savings account option. The medical plan has no co-pay, and employees are not required to contribute toward premium costs. Dental, vision, life, and long and short-term disability insurance plans are also available to NTIC&#8217;s employees.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b>Forward-Looking Statements</b></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;">This report on Form 10-K contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. In addition, NTIC or others on NTIC&#8217;s behalf may make forward-looking statements from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone conferences and/or web casts open to the public, in press releases or reports, on NTIC&#8217;s Internet web site, or otherwise. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report or expressed by NTIC orally from time to time that address activities, events, or developments that NTIC expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, in particular, the statements about NTIC&#8217;s plans, objectives, strategies, and prospects regarding, among other things, NTIC&#8217;s financial condition, results of operations and 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 &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;can,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;might,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;possible,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;approximate,&#8221; &#8220;outlook,&#8221; or &#8220;continue&#8221; 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&#8217;s consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report, including under &#8220;<i>Part II. Item 7. Management</i>&#8217;<i>s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations</i>.&#8221;</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;">Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting NTIC and are subject to uncertainties and factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market as well as matters specific to NTIC. These uncertainties and factors are difficult to predict, and many of them are beyond NTIC&#8217;s control. Some of the uncertainties and factors known to us that could cause NTIC&#8217;s actual results to differ materially from what NTIC has anticipated in its forward-looking statements are described under &#8220;<i>Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors</i>.&#8221; All forward-looking statements included in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. NTIC wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement that speaks only as of the date made and to recognize that forward-looking statements are predictions of future results, which may not occur as anticipated. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results due to the uncertainties and factors described above and others that NTIC may consider immaterial or does not anticipate at this time. Although NTIC believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, NTIC does not know whether its expectations will prove correct. NTIC&#8217;s expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions NTIC might make or by known or unknown uncertainties and factors, including those described above. The risks and uncertainties described above are not exclusive, and further information concerning NTIC and its business, including factors that potentially could materially affect its financial results or condition, may emerge from time to time. NTIC assumes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. NTIC advises you, however, to consult any further disclosures NTIC makes on related subjects in its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K that NTIC files with or furnishes to the SEC.</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;">From time to time, the U.S. and world economies suffer from uncertainty, volatility, disruption, and other adverse conditions, which has adversely impacted and in the future may adversely impact the business community and the financial markets. Adverse economic and financial market conditions have negatively affected and in the future may negatively affect NTIC&#8217;s customers and its markets, thereby negatively impacting NTIC&#8217;s business and operating results. For example, weak market conditions could extend the length of NTIC&#8217;s sales cycle and cause potential customers to delay, defer, or decline to make purchases of NTIC&#8217;s products and services due to uncertainties surrounding the future performance of their businesses, limitations on their capital expenditures due to internal budget constraints, the inability to obtain financing in the capital markets, and the adverse effects of the economy on their business and financial condition. As a result, if economic and financial market conditions weaken or deteriorate, then NTIC&#8217;s business, financial condition, and operating results, including its ability to grow and expand its business and operations, could be materially and adversely affected.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s operating results are especially dependent upon the economic health of the economies in the United States, Europe, India and China. Since a significant portion of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services are sold to customers in the automotive industry, adverse economic conditions affecting the automotive industry or other events that may adversely affect the automotive industry may result in an adverse effect on NTIC&#8217;s net sales and its other operating results. In fiscal 2024, several events softened demand within the automotive industry which indirectly adversely impacted NTIC, including the United Auto Workers strike, automotive plant closures, a slowdown in the production of electric vehicles, the high price of vehicles, high interest rates and an overall sluggish automotive market. Any weakness in the global economy, particularly the United States, Europe, India and China, and in the automotive industry have negatively impacted and may continue to negatively impact NTIC&#8217;s business, operating results, and financial condition.</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;"><b><i>NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s business in the past has been and, in the future, may be negatively impacted by inflation.</i></b></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;">Increases in inflation may have a negative impact on NTIC&#8217;s business. While the persistent inflation experienced in fiscal 2022 stabilized in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, relatively high levels of inflation continued to impact the overall demand for NTIC&#8217;s products, labor, and the margins NTIC and its joint ventures are able to realize on the sale of products, all of which have had and could continue to have a negative impact on NTIC&#8217;s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained levels of high inflation caused the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates. Although the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 0.50 percentage points in September 2024, it is not known whether additional action will be taken to lower interest rates and if this decrease, and any other decreases, will have an impact on inflation. High rates of interest or similar increases to interest rates in the future could increase the cost of capital available to NTIC and depress economic growth and could also negatively impact our business.</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;"><b><i>Supply chain disruptions in the past have interrupted and, in the future, could interrupt product manufacturing, increase product costs and result in lost sales, which may have a material adverse effect on NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s business, operating results and financial condition.</i></b></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Supply chain disruptions in fiscal 2024 related primarily to international shipping issues, as described below, which at times resulted in longer lead times, temporary raw material outages and higher shipping expenses. While NTIC took steps to minimize the impact of these increased costs by working closely with its suppliers and customers, these issues may persist in fiscal 2025, and there can be no assurances that unforeseen events impacting the supply chain will not have a material adverse effect on NTIC in the future. Additionally, the impacts supply chain disruptions have on NTIC&#8217;s third-party manufacturers are not within NTIC&#8217;s control. Prolonged supply chain disruptions impacting NTIC and its third-party manufacturers could interrupt product manufacturing, increase product costs and result in lost sales, which may have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#8217;s business, operating results and financial condition.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During fiscal 2024, a confluence of factors caused disruptions to international shipping, increasing costs and delaying shipments. Attacks on ships entering the Red Sea en route to the Suez Canal, an important waterway for vessels moving between Asia and the United States, by Houthi rebels in Yemen has forced ships to take longer routes. In addition, the sustained drought in Panama reduced capacity in the Panama Canal, further impacting the global supply chain. In March 2024, a cargo ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the Port of Baltimore, the largest U.S. port by volume for deliveries of automotive vehicles and components, which lead to the suspension of activity in the Port of Baltimore, causing shipping vessels to be rerouted, causing congestion and delays in other ports. While the Port of Baltimore opened to maritime traffic on June 10, 2024, the bridge is not expected to be rebuilt until late 2028 and further work to clear out wreckage and continue maintenance of the port may continue to cause delays in the Port of Baltimore and other East Coast ports where activities are rerouted. These factors decreased the availability of containers and increased shipping costs in fiscal 2024. Additionally, the change in global routes due to the Suez Canal, Panama Canal and Port of Baltimore disruptions has caused transit times to be extended by approximately two weeks, delaying certain NTIC shipments. Increased shipping costs and delays adversely affected NTIC&#8217;s consolidated results of operations during fiscal 2024, and we anticipate that these factors will continue to impact us during fiscal 2025. Similar delays and elevated costs in the future could have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#8217;s consolidated results of operations. Furthermore, transportation delays, increased shipping containers rates, closures or disruptions of businesses and facilities or social, economic, political or labor instability in the affected areas may impact the operations of NTIC&#8217;s suppliers, which could in turn adversely affect NTIC, and its revenues and operating costs. Any of these disruptions may negatively impact NTIC&#8217;s business, operating results, and financial condition.</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;"><b><i>NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s dependence on key suppliers puts NTIC at risk of interruptions in the availability of its products, which could reduce its net sales and adversely affect its operating results and harm its reputation.</i></b></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;">NTIC relies on suppliers for certain raw materials and components used in its products. For reasons of quality assurance, cost effectiveness, or availability, NTIC procures certain raw materials and components from sole or limited source suppliers. Among the limited source suppliers NTIC does business with are the manufacturers of plastic resins used in Natur-Tec&#174; products. NTIC generally acquires these and other raw materials and components through purchase orders placed in the ordinary course of business, and as a result, NTIC does not have a significant inventory of these materials and components and does not have any guaranteed or contractual supply arrangements with many of these suppliers for these materials and components. NTIC&#8217;s dependence on third-party suppliers involves several risks, including limited control over pricing, availability, quality, and delivery schedules, as well as manufacturing yields and costs. Suppliers of such raw materials and components may decide, or be required, for reasons beyond NTIC&#8217;s control, to cease supplying such raw materials and components to NTIC or to raise their prices.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Shortages of raw materials, quality control problems, production capacity constraints, or delays by suppliers could negatively affect NTIC&#8217;s ability to meet its production obligations and result in increased prices for affected parts, and NTIC may be forced to find new suppliers for certain raw materials. The rapid growth in demand for bioplastics products globally has increased the demand and the price for plastic resins, and limited suppliers of such plastic resins may experience shortages caused by demand outpacing their production capabilities, which could result in NTIC&#8217;s inability to produce its Natur-Tec&#174; products promptly or in the volumes demanded. Any such shortages, constraints, or delays may result in delays in shipments of products or components, which could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s net sales and other operating results and its reputation. From time to time, materials and components used in NTIC&#8217;s products are subject to allocation because of shortages of these materials and components.</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;"><b><i>Increases in prices for raw materials and components used in NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s products in the past have adversely affected and in the future could adversely affect NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s operating results.</i></b></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC uses certain raw materials and components in its products, including in particular plastic resins, which are subject to price increases. In light of freight issues in fiscal 2024, certain raw materials used in the manufacture of NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; products were at times unavailable or were available only at higher costs, which adversely affected gross margins on NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; products. If similar shortages of raw materials arise again in the future, the cost and/or production of NTIC&#8217;s products could be adversely affected. Additionally, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting sanctions by U.S. and European governments have resulted in and may continue to result in commodity price fluctuations, which have decreased our margins and the margins of our joint ventures and resulted in decreased joint venture profitability, which will likely continue during fiscal 2024. Finally, changes to international trade agreements could result in additional tariffs, duties, or other charges on raw materials or components we import into the U.S.</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;">NTIC utilizes contract manufacturers for a significant portion of its production requirements. The majority of NTIC&#8217;s manufacturing is conducted in the United States by contract manufacturers that also perform services for numerous other companies. NTIC does not have a guaranteed level of production capacity with any of its contract manufacturers. Qualifying new contract manufacturers is time consuming and might result in unforeseen manufacturing and operations problems. The loss of NTIC&#8217;s relationships with its contract manufacturers or their inability to conduct their manufacturing and assembly services for NTIC as anticipated in terms of capacity, cost, quality, and timeliness could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s ability to fill customer orders in accordance with required delivery, quality, and performance requirements, thus adversely affecting NTIC&#8217;s net sales and other operating results.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties, or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise, have negatively impacted in the past and in the future may negatively impact NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s business, operating results, and financial condition. </i></b><b> </b></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;">There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations, and tariffs. Within recent years, for example, trade policy changes included the imposition of additional tariffs on imported products in an effort to address trade imbalances, specifically with China, the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and sanctions on Russia. In response to some of these actions, certain countries imposed retaliatory actions against the U.S. NTIC and its subsidiaries and joint ventures engage in sales outside of the United States and is, therefore, negatively impacted by such actions. The incoming Trump administration has announced intentions to increase tariffs by 10% or more on imports, including a 60% increase on goods from China, which could lead to corresponding punitive actions by the countries with which the U.S. trades. Any changes or potential changes in trade policies in the United States and the potential corresponding actions by other countries in which NTIC does business could adversely and materially affect NTIC&#8217;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</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;"><b><i>Global credit and financial markets in the past have experienced disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability and rapid fluctuations in market valuations, which, if they happen again, could negatively impact NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s business, operating results, and financial condition. </i></b></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Any tightening of the credit and financial markets could negatively impact the ability of companies to borrow money from their existing lenders, obtain credit from other sources, or raise financing to fund their operations. This could negatively impact the ability of NTIC&#8217;s customers and the customers of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures to purchase NTIC&#8217;s products, suppliers&#8217; ability to provide NTIC and its joint ventures with materials and components, and the ability of NTIC and its joint ventures, distributors, and sales representatives to finance operations, if needed, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any or all of these events could negatively impact NTIC&#8217;s business, operating results, and financial condition. Although NTIC maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers, distributors, and joint ventures to make required payments, and such losses historically have been within NTIC&#8217;s expectations and the provisions established, NTIC cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same loss rates that it has in the past, especially if there are weaknesses in the worldwide economy. A significant change in the liquidity or financial condition of NTIC&#8217;s customers, distributors, or joint ventures could cause unfavorable trends in NTIC&#8217;s receivable collections and additional allowances may be required, which could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s operating results. In addition, weaknesses in the worldwide economy, including the imposition of higher tariffs, the withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and sanctions on Russia, may adversely impact the ability of suppliers to provide NTIC with materials and components, which could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business and operating results. NTIC is unable to predict the prospects for a global economic recovery, but the longer the duration of such adverse and uncertain economic conditions, the greater the risks NTIC faces in operating its business.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s success is dependent upon the efforts of a small management team and group of employees. NTIC&#8217;s future success will depend in large part on its ability to retain its key employees and identify, attract, and retain other highly qualified managerial, technical, research and development, sales and marketing, and customer service personnel when needed. Competition for these individuals may be intense, especially in the markets in which NTIC operates. NTIC may not succeed in identifying, attracting, and retaining these personnel. Inadequate performance by any of NTIC&#8217;s limited staff could have a negative impact on the performance of the company. In addition, none of NTIC&#8217;s employees have any contractual obligation to maintain his or her employment with NTIC. The loss or interruption of services of any of NTIC&#8217;s key personnel, including in particular its technical personnel, the inability to identify, attract, or retain qualified personnel in the future, delays in hiring qualified personnel, or any employee slowdowns, strikes, or similar actions could make it difficult for NTIC to manage its business and meet key objectives, which could harm NTIC&#8217;s business, operating results, and financial condition.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although we have not experienced any material labor shortage to date, we have observed an overall tightening and increasingly competitive labor market in recent years. A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates within our employee base could lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain employees and could negatively affect our ability to efficiently operate our manufacturing and distribution facilities and overall business. If we are unable to hire and retain employees capable of performing at a high-level, or if mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease in labor availability, such as overtime and third-party outsourcing, have unintended negative effects, our business could be adversely affected. An overall labor shortage, lack of skilled labor, increased turnover or labor inflation could have a material adverse impact on NTIC&#8217;s operations, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Many of our employees are approaching retirement age. As these experienced employees retire, we may have difficulty recruiting new employees with comparable qualifications and experience, and we may be unable to transfer our employees&#8217; institutional knowledge successfully to new qualified employees. Any such failures would be exacerbated at times of peak demand. Our failure to recruit and train new employees and to ensure they obtain adequate qualifications and experience could result in reduced revenues, loss of customer goodwill and a material negative impact on our results of operations.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s strategy to grow its business, including in particular its ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products for the oil and gas industry and its Natur-Tec&#174; bio-plastic resin compounds and finished products, requires significant management time and operational and financial resources. There is no assurance that NTIC has the necessary operational and financial resources to manage its growth. This is especially true as it expands facilities and manufactures its products on a larger commercial scale. In addition, rapid growth in NTIC&#8217;s headcount and operations may place a significant strain on its management, administrative, operational, and financial infrastructure. Failure to adequately manage its growth could have a material and adverse effect on NTIC&#8217;s business, operating results, and financial condition.

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The global automotive industry is experiencing a period of significant technological change, including the development and use of electric vehicles, which do not contain as many metal components that require NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174;<sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;"> </sup>products and solutions.

<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;"><b><i>NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s liquidity and financial position rely on the receipt of fees for services provided to its joint ventures and dividend distributions from its joint ventures.

<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;">NTIC conducts business, either directly or indirectly, through several joint venture arrangements that operate in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures manufactures, markets, and sells finished products in the geographic territory that it is assigned. NTIC&#8217;s receipt of funds as a result of sales by its joint ventures is dependent upon NTIC&#8217;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales of the individual joint ventures and NTIC&#8217;s receipt of dividend distributions from its joint ventures based on the profitability of its joint ventures. NTIC&#8217;s liquidity and financial position in part rely on NTIC&#8217;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures and dividend distributions from its joint ventures. During fiscal 2024, NTIC recognized $5,251,782 in fees and $2,997,164 in dividend distributions from its joint ventures. Because NTIC owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture entities, NTIC does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in any given year. Thus, NTIC cannot guarantee that any of its joint ventures will pay dividends in any given year. The failure of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures to declare dividends or the failure of NTIC to receive fees for services provided to joint ventures in amounts typically expected by NTIC could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s liquidity and financial position.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">A significant portion of NTIC&#8217;s earnings results from NTIC&#8217;s equity income from its joint ventures. NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures consists of NTIC&#8217;s share of equity in income from its joint ventures based on the overall profitability of the joint ventures. Such profitability varies from quarter to quarter. Since NTIC&#8217;s management typically receives quarterly joint venture financial information after the completion of each fiscal quarter, it is impossible for NTIC&#8217;s management to cut costs and expenses to make up for any unanticipated shortfall in NTIC&#8217;s equity income from joint ventures. Accordingly, the variability in NTIC&#8217;s equity income from joint ventures, in turn, subjects NTIC&#8217;s earnings to quarterly fluctuations.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC sells products and services directly, through its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and indirectly, via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors, manufacturer&#8217;s sales representatives, and agents in over 65&#160;countries, including countries in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. One of NTIC&#8217;s strategic objectives is the continued expansion of its international operations. The expansion of NTIC&#8217;s existing international operations and entry into additional international markets requires management attention and financial resources. For example, NTIC&#8217;s expansion of oil and gas activities in the Middle East has faced challenges due to operating a new business unit, coordinating with a new sales team, the ability to find resources and local support, and limited experience in this new space, requiring additional management and financial support. Whether and to what extent such issues persist cannot be predicted.</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 sale and shipping of products and services across international borders subjects NTIC to extensive and complicated U.S. and foreign governmental trade regulations. Compliance with such regulations is costly and exposes NTIC to penalties for non-compliance. Other laws and regulations that can significantly impact NTIC include various anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, laws restricting business with suspected terrorists, and anti-boycott laws. Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could impact NTIC in a variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, significant criminal, civil, and administrative penalties, including imprisonment of individuals, fines and penalties, denial of export privileges, seizure of shipments, and restrictions on certain business activities. Also, the failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could result in the disruption of NTIC&#8217;s shipping and sales activities.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Furthermore, in June 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as &#8220;Brexit.&#8221; The United Kingdom officially terminated its membership of the European Union on January 31, 2020 and remained in a transition phase until December 31, 2020. Although the United Kingdom and the European Union struck a bilateral trade and cooperation deal governing the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, which became effective on May 1, 2021, political and economic uncertainties remain, and it is possible that there will be increased regulatory complexities, which could affect NTIC&#8217;s ability to sell its products in certain European Union countries and subject NTIC to heightened risks in that region. Any of these effects of Brexit, and other similar referenda that NTIC cannot anticipate, could adversely affect its business, operations, and financial results.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC considers its joint venture in Germany (EXCOR) to be individually significant to NTIC&#8217;s consolidated assets and income and, therefore, provides certain additional information regarding EXCOR in the notes to NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements and in certain sections of this report. Of the total equity in income from joint ventures of $4,223,296 during fiscal 2024, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $2,299,274 attributable to EXCOR. Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $5,251,782 during fiscal 2024, fees of $828,932 were attributable to EXCOR. Accordingly, if sales of NTIC&#8217;s products and services by this joint venture were to significantly decline or if NTIC&#8217;s relationships with this joint venture were to significantly deteriorate such that the joint venture terminated or was not motivated to sell NTIC&#8217;s products and services, NTIC&#8217;s operating results likely would be adversely affected. While this is also true with respect to the other joint venture entities of which additional information is provided in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements and in certain other sections of this report, the significance is not as great as with EXCOR. EXCOR&#8217;s profitability has decreased over the past few years as compared to prior years, which has adversely affected NTIC&#8217;s financial results.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Effective as of September 1, 2021, NTIC acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in its Indian joint venture, HNTI. It is possible that as part of its succession planning efforts with respect to its joint venture partners, NTIC may complete similar acquisitions in the future. Similar future acquisitions will depend, in part, on the availability of similar opportunities or other suitable acquisition candidates at acceptable prices, terms, and conditions and the availability of capital and personnel resources to complete such acquisitions and run and integrate the acquired business effectively. These acquisitions involve risk and may harm NTIC&#8217;s business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results. For instance, the benefits of such acquisitions may take more time than expected to develop or integrate into NTIC&#8217;s operations, and NTIC cannot guarantee that such acquisitions will, in fact, produce any long-term benefits. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, the occurrence of which could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results, including:</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition, effective internal controls are necessary for NTIC to provide reliable and accurate financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. The integration of acquired businesses may result in NTIC&#8217;s systems and controls becoming increasingly complex and more difficult to manage. NTIC devotes significant resources and time to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, it cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that NTIC designs, implements, and maintains adequate control over its financial processes and reporting in the future, particularly in the context of acquisitions of other businesses. Any difficulties in the assimilation of acquired businesses into NTIC&#8217;s internal control framework could harm its operating results or cause NTIC to fail to meet its financial reporting obligations. Also, acquisitions require the consent of the lender under NTIC&#8217;s loan agreement. NTIC cannot predict whether such approval would be forthcoming or the terms on which the lender would approve such acquisitions. These risks, among others, could be heightened if NTIC completes a large acquisition or multiple transactions within a relatively short period of time.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In 2022, NTIC took actions to limit its operations in Russia and Ukraine, which were adversely affected by the war between Russia and Ukraine, though these losses did not have a material impact on NTIC&#8217;s operating results. NTIC terminated its joint venture in Russia in May 2022, which also did not have an adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition given the immateriality of the joint venture. The broader consequences of this conflict, which may include additional international sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopolitical shifts; increased tensions between the United States and countries in which NTIC operates; and the extent of the conflict&#8217;s effect on NTIC&#8217;s business and results of operations, as well as the global economy, cannot be predicted.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">To the extent the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine adversely affects NTIC&#8217;s business, it may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed herein, any of which could materially and adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business and results of operations. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, demand for NTIC&#8217;s products and potential recessionary economic conditions; increased cyber security threats; adverse changes in trade policies, taxes, government regulations, and tariffs; NTIC&#8217;s ability to implement and execute its business strategy, particularly with regard to its joint ventures; disruptions in global supply chains; its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas may adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business and results of operations. On October 7, 2023, Hamas, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, launched a series of coordinated attacks from the Gaza Strip onto Israel. On October 8, 2023, Israel formally declared war on Hamas, which is ongoing as of the date of this filing. Hostilities have occasionally escalated, impacting surrounding countries in the Middle East. Although the length, impact and outcome of this conflict between Israel and Hamas are highly unpredictable, it could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including disruptions to the oil and gas industry, significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability and other material and adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions. It is not possible at this time to predict or determine the ultimate consequences of this conflict.</p>

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&#8217;s and NTIC China&#8217;s ownership or operations or NTIC&#8217;s interests in China and could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">These and other factors, including, but not limited to, rising labor costs in China and more favorable investment policies in Southeast Asian countries, have caused some companies to relocate from China to Southeast Asia. Remaining in China could result in these factors together adversely affecting NTIC&#8217;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Chinese commercial law is relatively undeveloped compared to commercial law in many of NTIC&#8217;s other major markets, and limited protection of intellectual property is available in China as a practical matter. Although NTIC takes precautions in the operation of NTIC China to protect NTIC&#8217;s intellectual property, any local manufacturer of products that NTIC undertakes in China could subject NTIC to an increased risk that unauthorized parties will be able to copy or otherwise obtain or use NTIC&#8217;s intellectual property, which could harm NTIC&#8217;s business. NTIC may also have limited legal recourse in the event it encounters patent or trademark infringers, which could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</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;"><b><i>Uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system may adversely affect the operations of NTIC China.</i></b></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC China is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of laws, rules, and policies in China. The Chinese legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions have limited precedential value. Because many laws and regulations are relatively new, and the Chinese legal system is still evolving, the interpretations of many laws, regulations, and rules are not always uniform. Moreover, the relative inexperience of China&#8217;s judiciary in many cases creates additional uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation, and the interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subject to government policies reflecting domestic political agendas. Finally, enforcement of existing laws or contracts based on existing law may be uncertain and sporadic. For the preceding reasons, it may be difficult for NTIC or NTIC China to obtain timely or equitable enforcement of laws ostensibly designed to protect companies like NTIC or NTIC China, which could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business, results of operations, and financial condition.</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;"><b><i>Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject NTIC to, among other things, penalties and legal expenses that could harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.</i></b></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;">NTIC is subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, which generally prohibits covered entities and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or other benefits. In addition, the FCPA imposes accounting standards and requirements on U.S. publicly-traded corporations and their foreign affiliates, which are intended to prevent the diversion of corporate funds to the payment of bribes and other improper payments and to prevent the establishment of &#8220;off books&#8221; slush funds from which such improper payments can be made. NTIC also is subject to similar anticorruption legislation implemented in Europe under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development&#8217;s Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. NTIC and its joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, and agents operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential violations of the FCPA and other anticorruption laws, based on measurements such as Transparency International&#8217;s Corruption Perception Index, and NTIC utilizes a number of joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, and agents for whose actions NTIC could be held liable under the FCPA. NTIC informs its personnel, joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, and agents of the requirements of the FCPA and other anticorruption laws, including, but not limited to, their reporting requirements. NTIC also has developed and will continue to develop and implement systems for formalizing its contracting processes, performing due diligence on agents, and improving its recordkeeping and auditing practices regarding these regulations. However, there is no guarantee that NTIC&#8217;s employees, joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives, or other agents have not or will not engage in conduct undetected by NTIC&#8217;s processes and for which NTIC might be held responsible under the FCPA or other anticorruption laws.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">If NTIC&#8217;s employees, joint ventures, distributors, third-party sales representatives, or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, NTIC could suffer severe penalties, including criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement, and other remedial measures, including further changes or enhancements to its procedures, policies, and controls and potential personnel changes and disciplinary actions.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Certain private and foreign companies, including some of NTIC&#8217;s competitors, are not subject to prohibitions as strict as those under the FCPA or, even if subjected to strict prohibitions, such prohibitions may be laxly enforced in practice. If NTIC&#8217;s competitors engage in corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft, or other fraudulent practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies or from government officials, giving NTIC&#8217;s competitors an advantage in securing business and putting NTIC at a disadvantage.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#8217;s foreign operations is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&#8217;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&#8217;s fees for services provided to its joint ventures and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies; thus, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in NTIC&#8217;s earnings. Any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</p>

<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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC conducts business, or is contemplating expansion, in developing markets with economies that tend to be more volatile than those in the United States and Western Europe. The risk of doing business in developing markets such as China, Brazil, India, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and other economically volatile areas could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s operations and earnings. Such risks include the financial instability among customers in these regions, political instability, fraud or corruption, and other non-economic factors, and irregular trade flows that need to be managed successfully with the help of the local governments. In addition, commercial laws in some developing countries can be vague, inconsistently administered, and retroactively applied. If NTIC is deemed not to be in compliance with applicable laws in developing countries where NTIC conducts business, its prospects and business in those countries could be harmed, which could then have a material adverse impact on NTIC&#8217;s operating results and financial position. NTIC&#8217;s failure to successfully manage economic, political, and other risks relating to doing business in developing countries and economically and politically volatile areas could adversely affect its business.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>NTIC faces intense competition in almost all of its product lines, including from competitors that have substantially greater resources than NTIC does. No assurance can be provided that NTIC will be able to compete effectively, which would harm its business and operating results.</i></b></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s products are sold in intensely competitive markets throughout the world. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. With respect to its rust and corrosion inhibiting products, NTIC competes on the basis of product innovation, quality, reliability, product support, customer service, reputation, and price. With respect to its Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products, NTIC competes on the basis of performance, brand awareness, distribution network, product availability, product offering, shelf life, place of manufacture, and price. NTIC often competes with numerous manufacturers, many of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than NTIC. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly than NTIC to new or emerging technologies, industry trends, and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than NTIC. In addition, competition could increase if new companies enter the markets in which NTIC competes, especially when the barriers to entry are low, which may be true with respect to NTIC&#8217;s rust and corrosion prevention business, or if existing competitors expand their product lines or intensify efforts within existing product lines. NTIC&#8217;s current products, products under development, and its ability to develop new and improved products may be insufficient to enable NTIC to compete effectively with its competitors. No assurance can be provided that NTIC will be able to compete effectively, which would harm its business and operating results. In particular, NTIC has experienced more intense competition with respect to many of its traditional ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services, which has led to decreased pricing and smaller margins for NTIC.</p>

During fiscal 2024, 74.2% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services. While the net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are not included in NTIC&#8217;s net sales on NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements, NTIC&#8217;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures and NTIC&#8217;s receipt of dividend distributions from its joint ventures are based primarily on the revenues and profitability of the joint ventures. Accordingly, if sales of these products and services were to decline due to increased competition, the introduction of a new disruptive technology, or otherwise, NTIC&#8217;s operating results would be adversely affected.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">One of NTIC&#8217;s strategies is to enhance its existing products and develop and market new products that respond to customer needs. NTIC may not be able to compete effectively with its competitors unless NTIC can keep up with existing or new products or alternative technologies in the markets in which it competes. Product development requires significant research and development, financial, and other resources. Although in the past NTIC has implemented lean manufacturing and other productivity improvement initiatives to provide investment funding for new products, no assurance can be provided that NTIC will be able to continue to do so in the future. Product improvements and new product introductions also require significant planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels, and NTIC may not be able to timely develop product improvements or new products. NTIC&#8217;s competitors&#8217; new products may beat NTIC&#8217;s products to market, may be more effective or less expensive than NTIC&#8217;s products, or may render NTIC&#8217;s products obsolete. Any new products that NTIC may develop may not receive market acceptance or otherwise generate any meaningful net sales or profits for NTIC relative to its expectations, based on, among other things, existing and anticipated investments in manufacturing capacity and commitments to fund advertising, marketing, promotional programs, and research and development.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In an effort to increase net sales, NTIC has expanded the marketing of its corrosion prevention solutions into the oil and gas industry and its Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products. NTIC expects to continue to invest additional research and development and marketing efforts and resources into these strategic initiatives. No assurance can be provided, however, that such strategic initiatives will be successful or that NTIC will be successful in obtaining additional revenue as a result of them. The introduction of new products into new markets takes significant resources, and there can be no assurance that NTIC is dedicating a sufficient amount of resources to ensure the success of these strategic initiatives. The sale of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services into the oil and gas industry, in particular, typically involves a long sales cycle, often including a one- to multi-year trial period with each customer and a slow integration process thereafter. This long sales cycle may cause NTIC&#8217;s management, stockholders, and investors to lose faith in the business opportunities for NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, projects NTIC completes for oil and gas industry customers typically involve short turnaround times, and failure to meet these expectations could damage NTIC&#8217;s ability to successfully promote its corrosion prevention solutions into the oil and gas industry.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC uses third-party manufacturers to produce the majority of its products.&#160; In addition, NTIC relies upon certain contractors for logistical services.&#160; Although NTIC&#8217;s arrangements with its contract manufacturers and contractors may contain provisions for warranty expense reimbursement, NTIC may remain responsible to its customers for warranty service in the event of product defects and could experience an unanticipated&#160;product defect&#160;or warranty liability.&#160; In addition, product defects could harm NTIC&#8217;s reputation amongst its customers.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although there is a developed market for petroleum-based plastics, the market for &#8220;bioplastics&#8221; which are plastics produced with bio-based resins, which are derived from renewable resources such as corn or cellulosic/plant material or blends thereof, or plastics that are engineered to be fully biodegradable or both, is still developing.&#160; The market for biodegradable plastics is expanding worldwide, driven by increasing environmental awareness, regulatory support for sustainable materials, and growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives. As consumers and industries seek to reduce plastic waste, biodegradable plastics offer a viable solution, particularly in sectors like packaging, agriculture, and consumer goods. This trend is further supported by government policies promoting sustainable practices and by advances in biodegradable technology, which make these materials more accessible and cost-effective.</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 commercial success of NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products depends on the continued expansion of the market for biodegradable plastics and widespread market acceptance of products manufactured with bio-based and biodegradable resins, which may result, in part, from government policies promoting sustainable practices at the federal, state or local level. For example, many U.S. states and municipalities have taken action or are considering laws to ban certain single-use plastics, often focusing efforts on single-use plastic bags and plastic straws. However, existing federal rules and regulations favorable to the market for biodegradable plastics may be subject to change under the incoming Trump administration. Internationally, the government of India announced a phased ban on the manufacture and sale of single-use plastics beginning in July 2022. Similarly, in January 2021, China implemented a ban on single-use plastic utensils, bags and certain other single-use plastic items. Despite these efforts and other measures taken at the federal, state and local levels, including policies related to the collection of organics, it is currently difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the potential size, timing, and viability of market opportunities for NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products. Additionally, while legislation has helped increase demand for bioplastics, a lack of enforcement and higher costs associated with bioplastics have adversely impacted the demand anticipated to stem from such legislation.</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 traditional plastics market sector is well-established with entrenched competitors with whom NTIC competes.&#160; Pricing for traditional plastics has been highly volatile in recent years, which drives, to some extent, the commercial and other support for bioplastics.&#160; While NTIC expects to be able to command a premium price for its Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products, a widening gap in the pricing for bioplastics versus petroleum-based plastics may reduce the size of the addressable market for NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products.&#160; Whether prices for bioplastics become more competitive with prices for petroleum-based plastics will depend, in part, on continued advances in biodegradable technology. In addition, the growth of the market will create some pressure on price for applications today considered commodities, including in particular NTIC&#8217;s current Natur-Tec&#174; finished products.</p>

NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures, distributors, manufacturer&#8217;s sales representatives, and other agents might terminate their relationship with NTIC or devote insufficient sales efforts to NTIC&#8217;s products. NTIC does not control its joint ventures, distributors, manufacturer&#8217;s sales representatives, and other agents, and they may not be successful in implementing NTIC&#8217;s marketing plans. NTIC&#8217;s failure to maintain its existing relationships with these entities, or its failure to recruit and retain additional skilled joint venture partners, distributors, manufacturer&#8217;s sales representatives, and other agents, could have an adverse effect on NTIC&#8217;s operations. It is anticipated that several of NTIC&#8217;s joint venture partners will retire during the next several years, which will require a transition on the part of the joint venture as well as NTIC and could harm NTIC&#8217;s relationship with the joint venture and NTIC&#8217;s business.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">While NTIC is not aware of any specific potential risk beyond its initial investment in, and any undistributed earnings of, each of its joint ventures, there can be no assurance that NTIC will not be subject to lawsuits based on product liability claims or other claims arising out of the activities of its joint ventures. To mitigate the ramifications of such an occurrence, NTIC maintains liability insurance specifically applicable to its ownership positions in its joint venture arrangements in excess of any insurance the joint ventures may maintain. No assurance can be provided, however, that such insurance will be available or adequate in the event of a claim.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Seasonality of Installations: </i></b>In the past, NTIC has experienced some seasonality with respect to the sale of its ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products into the oil and gas industry, with sales during parts of the second and third fiscal quarters being adversely affected by winter in the United States. However, in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, this seasonality decreased somewhat as opportunities increased globally.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Fluctuations of Crude Oil Prices:</i></b> The sale of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products into the oil and gas industry, particularly in the United States, has historically been hampered by low/unstable global crude oil prices. The price of crude oil remained moderate and relatively stable in fiscal 2024, partially due to decreased inflationary pressures and ample global supplies. NTIC believes low global crude oil prices constrain capital improvement budgets of its existing and prospective customers and may result in personnel turnover at its oil and gas customers or prospects. Additionally, NTIC believes the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas may create uncertainty among its existing and prospective customers, which may cause them to halt oil and gas projects or elect to decrease capital improvement budgets, either of which could harm NTIC&#8217;s ability to sell its products into the oil and gas industry.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Regulatory Guidelines:</i></b> The Oil &amp; Gas sector is very conservative and, in addition to long-term trials on-site, client decision makers typically default to guidelines from the American Petroleum Institute (API), Association of Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), an agency of the United States Department of Transportation responsible for developing and enforcing regulations for the safe, reliable and environmentally sound transportation of energy and other hazardous materials, European Committee for the Study of Corrosion (CEOCOR), etc. Getting a new technology/solution approach included in these guidelines typically takes years of committee lobbying, client support, field trials and lab validation. The Zerust solutions have been included in several technical reports/committees from these groups though getting full validation is likely to take a few more years.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s business, properties, and products are subject to a wide variety of international, federal, state, and local laws, rules, taxes, and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, natural resources, and worker health and safety and the use, management, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes, and other regulated materials. These laws, rules, and regulations may affect the way NTIC conducts its operations, and the failure to comply with these regulations could lead to fines and other penalties. In the future, new environmental laws, rules, and regulations with provisions similar to those of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which includes measures to reduce emissions, may be enacted, which may adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business. Further, because NTIC owns and operates real property, various environmental laws also may impose liability on NTIC for the costs of cleaning up and responding to hazardous substances that may have been released on NTIC&#8217;s property, including releases unknown to NTIC. These environmental laws and regulations also could require NTIC to pay for environmental remediation and response costs at third-party locations where NTIC disposed of or recycled hazardous substances. NTIC&#8217;s future costs of complying with the various environmental requirements, as they now exist or may be altered in the future, could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s financial condition and operating results. NTIC is also subject to other international, federal, and state laws, rules, and regulations, the future non-compliance with which may harm NTIC&#8217;s business or may adversely affect the demand for some of its products. Changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards and taxation changes, including tax rate changes, new tax laws, including the changes to U.S. federal tax laws included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, such as a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases, and revised tax law interpretations, also may adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s operating results. These laws, rules and regulations may be subject to change by the incoming Trump administration, which has announced intentions to alter environmental and other regulations, although it is not possible at this time to determine whether such actions will be taken and the impact they may have on NTIC.</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;">Governmental regulation also may adversely affect the demand for some of NTIC&#8217;s products and its operating results. For example, the PHMSA added several new rules with specified deadlines in calendar year 2024. As a result, pipeline owners and operators and several service contractors in the pipeline inspection sector were required to complete preliminary reporting requirements to meet these deadlines. These reporting requirements significantly delayed pipeline casing protection work in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2024 pending completion of the compliance work, adversely impacting demand for certain products and NTIC&#8217;s operating results. While we anticipate that the impact of these new rules and deadlines will decrease in fiscal 2025, resulting in a resurgence in client projects, other regulations may be enacted, causing similar adverse impacts, which impacts or other events may prevent the anticipated resurgence in client projects from materializing.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The mix of pre-tax income or loss among the tax jurisdictions in which NTIC operates, which have varying tax rates, could impact NTIC&#8217;s effective tax rate. NTIC is subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management&#8217;s assessment. NTIC operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. NTIC also has made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions or jurisdictional regulations could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by NTIC&#8217;s income tax provisions and accruals.</p>

NTIC cannot be certain that it will be issued any patents from any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to NTIC or that the claims allowed under any issued patents will be sufficiently broad to protect its technology. In the absence of patent protection, NTIC may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy NTIC&#8217;s products or gain access to its trade secrets and know-how. NTIC&#8217;s competitors may initiate litigation to challenge the validity of NTIC&#8217;s patents, or they may use their resources to design comparable products that do not infringe NTIC&#8217;s patents. NTIC may incur substantial costs if its competitors initiate litigation to challenge the validity of its patents or if it initiates any proceedings to protect its proprietary rights, and if the outcome of any such litigation is unfavorable to NTIC, its business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition, NTIC relies substantially on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that it seeks to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with its employees and consultants. These agreements may be breached, and NTIC may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Even if these confidentiality agreements are not breached, NTIC&#8217;s trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>The trading volume of NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s common stock is typically very low, leaving NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s common stock open to risk of high volatility.</i></b></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 number of shares of NTIC&#8217;s common stock being traded daily is often very low, and on some trading days, there is no trading volume at all. During fiscal 2024, the daily trading volume ranged from 634 shares to 1,006,875 shares. Any NTIC stockholder wishing to sell his, her, or its stock may cause a significant fluctuation in the trading price of NTIC&#8217;s common stock. In addition, low trading volume of a stock increases the possibility that, despite rules against such activity, the price of the stock may be manipulated by persons acting in their own self-interest. NTIC may not have adequate market makers and market making activity to prevent manipulation in its common stock.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The market price and trading volume of NTIC&#8217;s common stock price historically has fluctuated over a wide range. During fiscal 2024, the sale price of NTIC&#8217;s common stock ranged from a low of $10.08 per share to a high of $19.63 per share, and the daily trading volume ranged from 634 shares to 1,006,875 shares. It is likely that the price and trading volume of NTIC&#8217;s common stock will continue to fluctuate in the future. The securities of small capitalization companies, including NTIC, from time-to-time experience significant price and volume fluctuations, often unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Securities class action litigation is sometimes brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities or for other reasons. NTIC may become the target of similar litigation, especially if NTIC fails to meet its annual projected financial guidance or lowers its annual projected financial guidance. Securities litigation, whether with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and divert management&#8217;s attention and resources, which could harm NTIC&#8217;s business, operating results, and financial condition as well as the market price of its common stock.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">As of November 19, 2024, NTIC had 9,470,507 shares of common stock outstanding, 24.3% of which were beneficially owned by directors, executive officers, principal stockholders, and their respective affiliates. The stock of companies with a substantial amount of stock held by insiders is usually not as liquid as the stock of other public companies where insider ownership is not as concentrated. Thus, the trading market for shares of NTIC&#8217;s common stock may not be as liquid as the stock of other public companies.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The trading market for NTIC&#8217;s common stock has been influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about NTIC or its business. If one or more analysts who cover NTIC downgrade NTIC&#8217;s common stock, the market price for NTIC&#8217;s common stock would likely decline. If one or more cease coverage of NTIC or fail to regularly publish reports on NTIC, NTIC could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for NTIC&#8217;s common stock to decline.</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;">As of November 19, 2024, Inter Alia Holding Company, or Inter Alia, beneficially owned approximately 12.7% of NTIC&#8217;s outstanding common stock. Inter Alia is an entity partially owned by G. Patrick Lynch, NTIC&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer and director, as well as two other members of the Lynch family. Mr. Lynch shares voting and dispositive power of shares of NTIC&#8217;s common stock held by Inter Alia with the other owners. As a result of his share ownership through Inter Alia and his position as President and Chief Executive Officer and director of NTIC, Mr.&#160;Lynch may be able to influence the affairs and actions of NTIC, including matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The interests of Mr. Lynch and Inter Alia may differ from the interests of NTIC&#8217;s other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change in control of NTIC, could deprive NTIC&#8217;s stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale or merger of NTIC, and may negatively affect the market price of NTIC&#8217;s common stock. Transactions that could be affected by this concentration of ownership include proxy contests, tender offers, mergers, or other purchases of common stock that could give stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for shares of NTIC&#8217;s common stock.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b>General Risk Factors</b></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;"><b><i>Climate change, or legal, regulatory, or market measures to address climate change, may negatively affect our business and operations.</i></b></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;">Climate change resulting from increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may have an adverse impact on global temperatures, weather patterns and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires or flooding. Climate change may also cause water shortages, changes in rainfall and storm patterns, changes in sea levels and other negative weather and climate patterns. Such weather conditions could pose physical risks to our facilities and disrupt operation of our supply chain and may impact operational costs.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The increasing global focus on climate change and the need for corporate change also may lead to new regional, federal, and/or global legal and regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases. The inconsistency of regulations in the countries in which we operate may affect the costs of compliance with such legal or regulatory requirements. Additionally, in the event that such regulation is enacted and is more aggressive than the sustainability measures that we are currently undertaking to monitor our emissions and improve our energy efficiently, we may be subject to curtailment or reduced access to resources or experience significant increases in our costs of operation and delivery. As a result, climate change could negatively affect our business and operations.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In addition, public company stockholders are increasingly sensitive to the climate change impacts and mitigation efforts of companies, are increasingly seeking enhanced disclosure on the risks, challenges, governance implications, and financial impacts of climate change faced by companies and are demanding that companies take a proactive approach to addressing perceived environmental risks, including risks associated with climate change, relating to their operations. In an effort to increase climate change disclosure, on March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted climate disclosure rules that require new climate-related disclosure in SEC filings, as described below. Adverse publicity or climate-related litigation that may result from such enhanced disclosure or stockholder perception could have a negative impact on our business.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>New climate disclosure rules adopted by the SEC may increase our costs and litigation risks, which would materially and adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.</i></b></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;">On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted new climate disclosure rules, which require disclosure of, among other things, certain climate-related risks, their impacts and activities undertaken to mitigate or adapt to such risks; oversight by the board of directors and the role of management; information about climate-related targets and goals; greenhouse gas emissions; and financial statement impacts. We are currently assessing the impact of the new rules, but at this time, due in part to pending legal action related to the adoption of the new rules, we cannot predict the costs of implementation or any potential adverse impacts resulting from the new rules. However, we may incur increased costs relating to the assessment and disclosure of climate-related risks and increased litigation risks related to disclosures made pursuant to the new rules, either of which could materially and adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.</p>

NTIC&#8217;s customers, including in particular NTIC&#8217;s&#160;oil&#160;and gas customers, may have operations located in parts of the southern United States or other places and may be adversely affected by hurricanes and tropical storms, resulting in reduced demand for NTIC&#8217;s products and services or increased operating costs. Furthermore, NTIC&#8217;s customers and raw material suppliers&#8217; operations have been and could in the future be adversely affected by such hurricanes and other extreme or seasonal weather conditions. Adverse weather can also directly impede NTIC&#8217;s operations. Repercussions of severe weather conditions may include:</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The efficient operation of NTIC&#8217;s business is dependent on its management information systems. NTIC relies on its management information systems to effectively manage accounting and financial functions; manage order entry, order fulfillment, and inventory replenishment processes; and to maintain its research and development data. The failure of management information systems to perform as anticipated could disrupt NTIC&#8217;s business and product development and could result in decreased sales, causing NTIC&#8217;s business and operating results to suffer. In addition, NTIC&#8217;s management information systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural or man-made disasters, including terrorist attacks, attacks by computer viruses or hackers, power loss to computer systems, Internet outages, and telecommunications or data network failure. Any such interruption could adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s business and operating results.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC is in the process of installing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system and related equipment in order to support its future growth and more fully optimize its existing processes. The implementation of a new ERP software system may prove to be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, and it is possible that the system will not yield the anticipated benefits. Any disruptions, delays or deficiencies related to the new ERP software system could materially impact NTIC&#8217;s operations and its ability to manage inventory, fulfill obligations to customers or otherwise operate its business. In addition, implementation of a new ERP system will require significant resources, including the time and attention of NTIC&#8217;s management, in order to fully realize the anticipated benefits.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In the ordinary course of NTIC&#8217;s business, NTIC uses its management information systems to store and access proprietary business information. NTIC faces various&#160;cyber security threats, including&#160;cyber security&#160;attacks to its information technology infrastructure and attempts by others to gain access to its proprietary or sensitive information. The procedures and controls NTIC uses to monitor these threats and mitigate its exposure, as described in greater detail under &#8220;<i>Part I. Item 1C. Cybersecurity</i>,&#8221; may not be sufficient to prevent cyber security&#160;incidents. The result of these incidents could include disrupted operations, lost opportunities, misstated financial data, liability for stolen assets or information, increased costs arising from the implementation of additional security protective measures, litigation, and reputational damage. Any remedial costs or other liabilities related to cyber security&#160;incidents may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Additionally, on July 26, 2023, the SEC issued final rules related to cyber security risk management and related disclosures. NTIC and its Audit Committee continue to monitor and analyze the impact these rules may have on NTIC&#8217;s regulatory burden and cost of compliance related to cyber security threats.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>NTIC</i></b>&#8217;<b><i>s quarterly results are typically unpredictable and subject to variation.</i></b></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;">NTIC&#8217;s quarterly operating results vary from quarter to quarter for a variety of reasons. For example, NTIC&#8217;s quarterly sales to joint ventures can be affected by individual orders to joint ventures. Because of the typical size of individual orders to joint ventures and the overall size of NTIC&#8217;s net sales to joint ventures, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#8217;s quarterly sales to joint ventures and the comparisons to prior year quarters. In addition, because of the typical size of individual orders and the overall size of NTIC&#8217;s net sales derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#8217;s quarterly sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products and the comparisons to prior year quarters. Furthermore, since ZERUST&#174; products for the oil and gas industry typically carry higher margins than other traditional ZERUST&#174; products, the amount of sales of ZERUST&#174; products for the oil and gas industry typically affects NTIC&#8217;s overall margins. Such variability in operating results makes the prediction of NTIC&#8217;s net sales, earnings, and other operating results for each quarter difficult and increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly operating results. NTIC&#8217;s quarterly results have been and, in the future, may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Cybersecurity, data privacy, and data protection are critical to NTIC&#8217;s business. In the ordinary course of business, NTIC collects and stores certain confidential information, such as information about employees, contractors, vendors, customers, and suppliers. NTIC has processes in place for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, and NTIC regularly assesses its performance and identifies areas for improvement. In recent years, NTIC has implemented measures to safeguard its entire cyber network. Management continually re-assesses NTIC&#8217;s cybersecurity risk environment based on changing circumstances and new information identified by monitoring, scanning and testing its systems as well as utilizing third party resources for testing.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s processes for assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity threats have been integrated into the overall risk management processes. The information provided by these processes facilitates management&#8217;s ongoing assessment of NTIC&#8217;s cybersecurity risk environment and provides current and accurate information regarding cybersecurity risks to management, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors to allow appropriate management of such risks through remediation or other risk mitigation activities.</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;">NTIC maintains a cybersecurity program that is designed to identify, protect from, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats and risks, and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information systems, including the information residing on such systems. NTIC takes a risk-based approach to cybersecurity, which begins with the identification and evaluation of cybersecurity risks or threats that could affect its operations, finances, legal or regulatory compliance, or reputation. The scope of NTIC&#8217;s evaluation encompasses risks that may be associated with both its internally managed IT systems and key business functions and sensitive data operated or managed by third-party service providers. Once identified, cybersecurity risks and related mitigation efforts are prioritized based on their potential impact, likelihood, velocity, and vulnerability, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors. Risk mitigation strategies are developed and implemented based on the specific nature of each cybersecurity risk. These strategies include, among others, the application of cybersecurity policies and procedures, implementation of administrative, technical, and physical controls, and employee training, education, and awareness initiatives.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Management has implemented risk management structures, policies and procedures and is responsible for NTIC&#8217;S day-to-day cybersecurity risk management. Our Information Technology Director, who brings a solid foundation in cybersecurity from prior managerial roles and specialized training, is responsible for our day-to-day assessment and management of cybersecurity risks and has helped NTIC leverage best practices consisting of real time monitoring, anti-virus and ongoing patch management for all systems. Maintenance keeps code to industry standards and aligned with best practices. Security, and threats to security, are constantly evolving. The implemented measures are flexible enough that they can be modified dynamically to respond to changes in the security landscape. The following security measures give some insight as to what has been implemented:</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Although NTIC has taken steps to prevent and mitigate data security threats, there can be no assurance that its protective measures and those of its third party service providers will prevent or detect security breaches that could have a significant impact on NTIC&#8217;s business, reputation, operating results and financial condition. NTIC maintains cyber liability insurance; however, this insurance may not be sufficient to cover the financial, legal, business or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of NTIC&#8217;s systems. As of the date of this filing, NTIC has not identified any cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably anticipated to have a material effect on NTIC&#8217;s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. Although NTIC has not experienced cybersecurity incidents that are individually, or in the aggregate, material, NTIC has experienced cyberattacks in the past, which NTIC believes have thus far been mitigated by preventative, detective, and responsive measures it has put in place. See the factors described in the &#8220;<i>Part I. Item 1.A. Risk Factors</i>&#8221; section of this Form 10-K for further detail about the cybersecurity risks NTIC faces. Maintaining a robust information security system is an ongoing priority for NTIC, and NTIC plans to continue to identify and evaluate new, emerging risks to data protection and cybersecurity both within NTIC and through its engagement of third-party service providers.</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;">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.&#160; NTIC&#8217;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#174; brand.&#160; NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#174; products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for over 50 years and, more recently, has also expanded into the oil and gas industry.&#160; 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&#174; brand.&#160; These sustainable packaging products are intended to reduce NTIC&#8217;s customers&#8217; 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; 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. In North America, NTIC sells its ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention solutions through a network of independent distributors and agents supported by a direct sales force.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Internationally, NTIC sells its ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), its wholly-owned subsidiary in India, HNTI Limited (Zerust India), its majority-owned joint venture holding company for NTIC&#8217;s joint venture investments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), and 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">One of NTIC&#8217;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets for its ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention technologies.&#160; 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.&#160; In fiscal 2024, sales of ZERUST&#174; corrosion prevention solutions to large customers in the oil and gas industry became more consistent, with these customers beginning to re-order products. Sales within the U.S. also stabilized, and key customer relationships have been expanded. The sale of ZERUST&#174; 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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">With respect to NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; business, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products in North America 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&#174; bioplastic products. Internationally, NTIC sells its Natur-Tec&#174; 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;">NTIC has ownership interests in 11 operating subsidiaries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, which are listed in &#8220;<i>Part I. Item 1. Business</i>&#8221; of this annual report on Form 10-K. The results of these subsidiaries are fully consolidated in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements.</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;">NTIC participates in 15 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia, which are listed in &#8220;<i>Part I. Item 1. Business</i>&#8221; of this annual report on Form 10-K. NTIC has historically funded its investments in joint ventures with cash generated from operations. NTIC&#8217;s receives funds from its joint ventures as fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures and as dividend distributions. The fees for services provided to joint ventures are determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of sales depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to NTIC&#8217;s joint venture in Germany (EXCOR), NTIC recognizes an agreed upon quarterly fee for services. NTIC recognizes equity income from each joint venture based on the overall profitability of the joint venture. Such profitability is subject to variability from quarter to quarter, which, in turn, subjects NTIC&#8217;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. The profits of each joint venture are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. NTIC typically directly or indirectly owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture entities and, thus, does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, what amount is paid in a given year. The payment of a dividend by an entity is determined by a joint vote of the owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC. NTIC accounts for the investments and financial results of its joint ventures in its consolidated financial statements utilizing the equity method of accounting. NTIC considers EXCOR to be individually significant to NTIC&#8217;s consolidated assets and income as of August 31, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, NTIC provides certain additional information regarding this entity in the notes to NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements and in this section of this report.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b>Sales and Expense Components</b></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The following is a description of the primary components of net sales and expenses:</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Net Sales</i></b>. NTIC derives net sales from the sale of its ZERUST&#174; products and services and its Natur-Tec&#174; products. NTIC sells its ZERUST&#174; products and services and its Natur-Tec&#174; products either directly, through its subsidiaries, or via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. Net sales, excluding joint ventures represents net sales by NTIC either directly to end users or to distributors worldwide, but not sales to NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures and not sales by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures. NTIC recognizes revenue from the sale of its products primarily upon shipment of the products.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i></b>. Most of NTIC&#8217;s products are manufactured by third parties, and its cost of goods sold for those products consists primarily of the price invoiced by its third-party vendors. For the portion of products that NTIC manufactures, NTIC&#8217;s cost of goods sold for those products consists primarily of direct labor, allocated manufacturing overhead, raw materials, and components. NTIC&#8217;s margins on its Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products are generally smaller than its margins on its ZERUST&#174; products and services, and NTIC&#8217;s margins on its ZERUST&#174; products and services sold into the oil and gas industry are generally greater than its margins on its traditional ZERUST&#174; products and services.</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;"><b><i>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures</i></b>. NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures consists of NTIC&#8217;s share of equity in income from each joint venture based on the overall profitability of the joint ventures. Such profitability is subject to variability from quarter to quarter, which, in turn, subjects NTIC&#8217;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. Traditionally, a portion of the equity income recorded in a given fiscal year is paid to the owners of the joint venture entity during the following fiscal year through a dividend. The payment of a dividend by a joint venture entity is determined by a vote of the joint venture owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC. NTIC typically owns only 50% or less of its joint venture entities and, thus, does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in a given year.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures</i></b>. NTIC provides certain services to its joint ventures, including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical, and marketing services based on licensing or other agreements with its joint ventures. NTIC receives fees for these services it provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures, the latter of which are not included in NTIC&#8217;s net sales reflected on NTIC&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations. The fees for services received by NTIC from its joint ventures are generally determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to EXCOR, NTIC receives an agreed upon fixed quarterly fee for such services. Under NTIC&#8217;s agreements with its joint ventures in which the fees for services are described, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation of the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by NTIC.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Selling Expenses</i></b>. Selling expenses consist primarily of sales commissions and support costs for NTIC&#8217;s direct sale and distribution system and marketing costs.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>General and Administrative Expenses</i></b>. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits and other costs for NTIC&#8217;s executives, accounting, stock-based compensation, finance, legal, information technology, and human resources functions.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Research and Development Expenses</i></b>. Research and development expenses include costs associated with the design, development, market analysis, lab testing, and field trials and enhancements of NTIC&#8217;s products and services. NTIC expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses reflect the net amount after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts. With respect to such research and development contracts, NTIC accrues proceeds received under the contracts and offsets research and development expenses incurred in equal installments over the timelines associated with completion of the contracts&#8217; specific objectives and milestones.</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;"><b><i>Interest Income</i></b>. Interest income consists of interest earned on investments, which typically consist of investment-grade, interest-bearing securities and money market accounts.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Interest Expense</i></b>. Interest expense results primarily from interest associated with any borrowings under NTIC&#8217;s line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and NTIC China&#8217;s terms loans with China Construction Bank Corporation.</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;"><b><i>Income Tax Expense</i></b>. Income tax expense includes federal income taxes, foreign withholding taxes, income tax of consolidated entities in foreign jurisdictions, state income tax, and changes to NTIC&#8217;s deferred tax valuation allowance. NTIC utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. NTIC records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. NTIC makes this determination based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests</i></b><b>. </b>Net income attributable to non-controlling interests represents the portion of net income (or loss) in consolidated subsidiaries that is allocated to shareholders outside of NTIC. These non-controlling shareholders hold ownership stakes in certain subsidiaries but do not control these entities. In instances where NTIC owns less than 100% of a subsidiary, the share of that subsidiary&#8217;s income attributable to non-controlling shareholders is excluded from NTIC&#8217;s net income and reported separately in NTIC&#8217;s financial statements.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During fiscal 2024, 74.2% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which increased 2.2% to $63,092,575 compared to $61,728,364 during fiscal 2023. This increase was primarily a result of increased demand in North America for ZERUST&#174; oil and gas products, partially offset by a slight decrease in demand for ZERUST&#174; industrial products.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">ZERUST&#174; industrial net sales decreased during fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 primarily due to decreased demand for North American ZERUST&#174; industrial products. Overall, demand for ZERUST&#174; products and services depends heavily on the overall health of the markets in which NTIC sells its products, including the automotive, construction, agriculture, and mining markets in particular.</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;">ZERUST&#174; oil and gas net sales increased 18.3% during fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 primarily due to increased demand. NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services into the oil and gas industry will continue to remain subject to significant volatility from quarter to quarter as sales are recognized. Demand for oil and gas products around the world depends primarily on market acceptance and the reach of NTIC&#8217;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size of NTIC&#8217;s net sales derived from sales of oil and gas products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#8217;s quarterly sales compared to prior fiscal year quarters.</p>

<p style="font-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;">During fiscal 2024, 25.8% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, compared to 22.7% during fiscal 2023. Sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 20.9% to $21,966,942 during fiscal 2024 compared to $18,174,588 during fiscal 2023 due to increased global demand. The market for biodegradable plastics is expanding worldwide, driven by increasing environmental awareness, regulatory support for sustainable materials, and growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives. As consumers and industries seek to reduce plastic waste, biodegradable plastics offer a viable solution, particularly in sectors like packaging, agriculture, and consumer goods. This trend is further supported by government policies promoting sustainable practices and by advances in biodegradable technology, which make these materials more accessible and cost-effective.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i>. Cost of goods sold decreased 1.6% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 primarily as a result of lower raw material prices overall and the effect of cost containment measures. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 60.3% during fiscal 2024 compared to 65.2% during fiscal 2023 due primarily to the lower raw material prices and the insourcing of various finished goods production. 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 fiscal 2024.</p>

NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures fluctuates based on net sales and profitability of the joint ventures during the respective periods. Of the total equity in income from joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $2,299,274 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2024 compared to $2,852,229 in fiscal 2023.&#160; This decrease was due to a decrease in net sales by EXCOR compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to softer demand within the region related to higher energy prices, declines in the German automotive production and other regional economic pressures. NTIC had equity in income of all other joint ventures of $1,924,021 during fiscal 2024.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures</i>. NTIC recognized fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $5,251,782 during fiscal 2024 compared to $5,189,185 during fiscal 2023, representing an increase of 1.2%. Fee income for services provided to joint ventures is traditionally a function of the sales made by NTIC&#8217;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, specifically EXCOR. Net sales at the joint ventures decreased 4.7% to $95,940,014 during fiscal 2024 compared to $100,682,316 during fiscal 2023. This decrease was primarily a result of decreased demand during fiscal 2024 at NTIC&#8217;s joint venture in Germany primarily due to softer demand within the region, as described above. Net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are not included in NTIC&#8217;s product sales and are not included in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements. Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures, fees of $828,932 were attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2024 compared to $816,089 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2023.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Selling Expenses</i>. NTIC&#8217;s selling expenses increased 7.3% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 primarily due to an increase in personnel expense in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 19.3% for fiscal 2024 compared to 19.1% in fiscal 2023 primarily due to increased selling expenses, as noted above, and partially offset by increased net sales.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>General and Administrative Expenses</i>. NTIC&#8217;s general and administrative expenses increased 7.7% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 primarily due to increased professional services and travel and personnel expenses during fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 16.7% for fiscal 2024 from 16.5% for fiscal 2023 primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses, as noted above, and partially offset by increased net sales.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Research and Development Expenses</i>. NTIC&#8217;s research and development expenses decreased 3.3% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 primarily because certain projects previously in the development phase have now progressed to commercialization. As these initiatives transition, costs shift from research and development to sales and marketing, reflecting our advancement toward bringing these innovations to market.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Interest Income</i>. NTIC&#8217;s interest income increased to $118,827 in fiscal 2024 compared to $28,490 in fiscal 2023 primarily due to increases in the invested cash balances at certain subsidiaries.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Interest Expense</i>. NTIC&#8217;s interest expense decreased to $340,129 in fiscal 2024 compared to $461,805 in fiscal 2023 primarily due to decreased outstanding average borrowings during fiscal 2024.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Income Before Income Tax Expense</i>. NTIC had income before income tax expense of $7,647,181 for fiscal 2024 compared to income before income tax expense of $5,587,331 for fiscal 2023.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Income Tax Expense</i>. Income tax expense was $1,325,797 during fiscal 2024 compared to $1,349,600 during fiscal 2023 for an effective tax rate of 17.3% and 24.2% during fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.</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;">NTIC considers the earnings of certain foreign joint ventures to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of estimates that NTIC&#8217;s future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. As a result, U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the cumulative undistributed earnings of $23,465,685 and $20,493,861 as of August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. To the extent undistributed earnings of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are distributed in the future, they are not expected to result in any material additional income tax liability after the application of foreign tax credits.</p>

<p style="font-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 $5,409,082, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2024 compared to $2,912,276, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2023. This increase was a primarily due to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by the decrease in income from our joint venture operations and increase in certain operating expenses.</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;">NTIC anticipates that its earnings will continue to be adversely affected to some extent by 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&#174; products and services into the oil and gas industry, and sales of its Natur-Tec&#174; bioplastics products, which sales fluctuate more on a quarterly basis than the traditional ZERUST&#174; business.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Other Comprehensive Income </i>&#8211;<i> Foreign Currency Translations Adjustment</i>. The changes in the foreign currency translations adjustment were due to the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and other foreign currencies during fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023.</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;">NTIC&#8217;s working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $23,682,276 as of August 31, 2024, including $4,952,184 in cash and cash equivalents, $4,291,608 outstanding under NTIC&#8217;s line of credit and $2,820,835 outstanding under NTIC China&#8217;s term loans, compared to $22,950,184 as of August 31, 2023, including $5,406,173 in cash and cash equivalents, $3,600,000 outstanding under NTIC&#8217;s line of credit and $2,757,176 outstanding under NTIC China&#8217;s term loans.</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;">NTIC believes that a combination of its existing cash and cash equivalents, available for sale securities, forecasted cash flows from future operations, anticipated distributions of earnings, anticipated fees to NTIC for services provided to its joint ventures, and funds available through existing or anticipated financing arrangements will be adequate to fund its existing operations, investments in new or existing joint ventures or subsidiaries, capital expenditures, debt repayments, cash dividends, and any stock repurchases for at least the next 12 months. In fiscal 2025, NTIC expects to continue to invest through its use of working capital in Zerust India, NTIC China, 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&#174; 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;">&#160;</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 acquire remaining ownership interests of joint ventures not owned by NTIC as they become available or appropriate and for the formation of one or more new subsidiaries to assume the operations of a joint venture. Some of these joint venture transactions may materially impact NTIC&#8217;s results of operations for a particular reporting period.</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;">NTIC traditionally has used the cash generated from its operations, distributions of earnings from joint ventures and fees for services provided to its joint ventures to fund NTIC&#8217;s new technology investments and capital contributions to new and existing subsidiaries and joint ventures. NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures traditionally have operated 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&#8217;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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In order to take advantage of new product and market opportunities to expand its business and increase its revenues and assist with joint venture transitions, NTIC may decide to finance such opportunities by additional borrowings under its revolving line of credit or raising additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities. There is no assurance that any financing transaction will be available on terms acceptable to NTIC or at all or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive to NTIC&#8217;s current stockholders.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.</i></b></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;">On January 6, 2023, NTIC entered into a Credit Agreement (the &#8220;Credit Agreement&#8221;) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (&#8220;JPM&#8221;), which provides NTIC with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the &#8220;Credit Facility&#8221;) of up to $10.0 million, and replaced NTIC&#8217;s prior loan agreement. The Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. Borrowings of $4,291,608 were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of August 31, 2024.</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, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on the maturity date. On January 5, 2024, NTIC and JPM renewed the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from January 6, 2024 to January 6, 2025. All other terms of the Credit Facility and the Credit Agreement remain the same. It is anticipated that the Credit Facility will be renewed each year for one additional year for the immediate foreseeable future.</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;">Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, at the option of NTIC, equal to either the CB Floating Rate or the Adjusted SOFR Rate. The term &#8220;CB Floating Rate&#8221; means the greater of the Prime Rate in the United States or 2.50%. The term &#8220;Adjusted SOFR Rate&#8221; means the term secured overnight financing rate for either one, three or six months (depending on the interest period selected by NTIC) plus 0.10% per annum. With respect to any borrowings using an Adjusted SOFR Rate, there is an applicable margin of 2.15% applied per annum. There is no applicable margin with respect to borrowings using a CB Floating Rate.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">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 NTIC&#8217;s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, engage in certain business operations and transactions, make certain investments, modify its organizational documents or form any new subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a negative covenant that restricts the ability of NTIC to redeem or repurchase its common stock or pay dividends if the result of which would cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00. The term &#8220;Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio&#8221; means the ratio, computed for the NTIC on a consolidated basis, of net income plus income tax expense, plus amortization expense, plus depreciation expense, plus interest expense, and plus dividends received from joint ventures, minus unfinanced capital expenditures and equity in income from joint ventures, all computed for the twelve month period then ending, to scheduled principal payments made, plus scheduled finance lease payments made, plus interest expense paid, plus income tax expense paid, 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 August 31, 2024, NTIC was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Credit Agreement.</p>

Each term loan provided NTIC China with a RMB 10,000,000 (USD $1.45 million). The term loans mature in April 2025 and June 2025, respectively, unless extended. 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. NTIC was in compliance with the covenants as of August 31, 2024. The current outstanding balance as of August 31, 2024 for both term loans is a total of USD $2,820,835.</p>

Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2023 was $5,541,219, which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation and a decrease in inventory, partially offset by deferred income tax and equity in income from joint ventures and an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s cash flows from operations are impacted by significant changes in certain components of NTIC&#8217;s working capital, including inventory turnover and changes in receivables 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&#8217;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&#8217;s joint ventures, NTIC reviews customers&#8217; credit histories and will establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Accounts receivable over 30 days are considered past due for most customers. NTIC does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. If accounts receivables in excess of the provided allowance are determined uncollectible, they are charged to selling expense in the period that the determination is made. Accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible based on NTIC exhausting reasonable efforts to collect. NTIC&#8217;s typical contractual terms for receivables for services provided to its joint ventures are 90 days. NTIC records receivables for services provided to its joint ventures on an accrual basis, unless circumstances exist that make the collection of the balance uncertain, in which case the fee income will be recorded on a cash basis until there is consistency in payments. This determination is handled on a case-by-case basis.</p>

<p style="font-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;">NTIC experienced an increase in trade receivables and an increase in inventory as of August 31, 2024 compared to August 31, 2023. Trade receivables, excluding joint ventures, as of August 31, 2024 increased $3,152,937 compared to August 31, 2023, primarily related to a correlating increase in sales and timing differences.</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;">Outstanding trade receivables, excluding joint ventures balances, increased by an average of 3 days to an average of 83 days from balances outstanding from these customers as of August 31, 2024 from an average of 80 days as of August 31, 2023.</p>

Outstanding balances from trade receivables from joint ventures increased an average of 44 days to an average of 64 days from balances outstanding from these customers as of August 31, 2024 from an average of 20 days as of August 31, 2023. The average days outstanding of trade receivables from joint ventures as of August 31, 2024 were primarily due to the receivables balances at joint ventures in the United States, Japan and Thailand.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC spent $3,298,067 on capital expenditures during fiscal 2024, which related primarily to facility improvements to the warehouse facility NTIC purchased during fiscal 2023 and the installation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system and associated equipment. NTIC expects to spend an aggregate of approximately $1,600,000 to $2,100,000 on capital expenditures during fiscal 2025, which it expects will relate primarily to the purchase of new equipment and facility improvements.</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;">Inflation in the United States and abroad historically has had minimal effect on NTIC and did not adversely affect NTIC&#8217;s gross margins during fiscal 2024. NTIC believes there is some seasonality in its business. NTIC&#8217;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;"><b>Market Risk</b></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;">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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#8217;s foreign operations and investments in its foreign joint ventures is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&#8217;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Indian Rupee, the Chinese Renminbi, the South Korean Won, and the English Pound against the U.S. Dollar. NTIC&#8217;s fees for services provided to joint ventures and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies and, thus, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in NTIC&#8217;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</p>

<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;">Some raw materials used in NTIC&#8217;s products are exposed to commodity price changes. The primary commodity price exposures are with a variety of plastic and bioplastic resins.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Since NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are considered related parties, NTIC recorded sales to its joint ventures as a separate line item on the face of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations and recorded fees for services provided to its joint ventures as separate line items on the face of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations. NTIC also records trade receivables from joint ventures, receivables for fees for services provided to joint ventures, and NTIC&#8217;s investments in joint ventures as separate line items on its consolidated balance sheets.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC established its joint venture network approximately 30 years ago as a method to increase its worldwide distribution network for ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services. NTIC participates, either directly or indirectly, in 16 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets finished products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. NTIC&#8217;s joint venture partners are knowledgeable in the applicable environmental, labor, tax, and other requisite regulations and laws of the respective foreign countries in which they operate, as well as the local customs and business practices. NTIC&#8217;s revenue recognition policy for sales to its joint ventures is the same as its policy for sales to unaffiliated customers.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The fees for services provided to joint ventures are determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of sales depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to NTIC&#8217;s joint venture in Germany, EXCOR, NTIC recognizes an agreed upon quarterly fee for such services. NTIC records revenue related to fees for services provided to joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Under NTIC&#8217;s agreements with its joint ventures, fee amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. NTIC reviews the financial situation of each joint venture to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. From time to time, NTIC elects to account for such fees on a cash basis for certain joint ventures when uncertainty exists surrounding the collections of such fees. There are no fees being accounted for in this manner at present. The expenses incurred in support of its joint ventures are direct expenses that NTIC incurs related to its joint ventures and include such items as employee compensation and benefit expenses, travel expense, insurance, consulting expense, legal expense, and lab supplies and testing expense.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The preparation of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined a company&#8217;s most critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations and those which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, NTIC has identified the following critical accounting policies. Although NTIC believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Principles of Consolidation </i></b></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;">NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&#8217;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. All such relationships are evaluated on an ongoing basis. The consolidated financial statements included in this report include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., NTIC Europe GmbH ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V., and HNTI Limited, NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#231;&#227;o de Corros&#227;o S.A., NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC, and NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited, Natur-Tec Lanka, Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd (Zerust Singapore), Zerust Vietnam Co. Ltd (Zerust Vietnam) and Zerust Taiwan Co. Ltd (Zerust Taiwan). NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any of its joint ventures.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Investments in Joint Ventures and Recoverability of Investments in Joint Ventures</i></b></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;">NTIC&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. NTIC assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, NTIC reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual for fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet NTIC&#8217;s financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. In addition to the annual assessments for impairment, non-periodic assessments for impairment may occur if cash remittances are less than accrued balances, a joint venture&#8217;s management requests capital, or other events occur suggesting anything other than temporary decline in value. If an investment were determined to be impaired, then a reserve would be created to reflect the impairment on the financial results of NTIC. NTIC&#8217;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires NTIC to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Investments at Carrying Value </i></b></p>

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Revenue Recognition</i></b></p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers, and significant financing components. While most of NTIC&#8217;s revenue is contracted with customers through one-time purchase orders and short-term contracts, NTIC does have long-term arrangements with certain customers. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer. The transaction price for NTIC&#8217;s products is the invoiced amount. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs as defined by the terms in the customer agreement, generally upon shipment of product.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">With respect to recording revenue related to fees earned for services provided to NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation for the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by NTIC. The support and services NTIC provides its joint ventures include consulting, travel, insurance, technical and marketing services to existing joint ventures, legal fees incurred in the establishment of new joint ventures, registration and promotion and legal defense of worldwide trademarks, and legal fees incurred in connection with the filing of patent applications based on licensing or other agreements with its joint ventures. NTIC receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures. The fees for support services received by NTIC from its joint ventures are generally determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. Under NTIC&#8217;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. NTIC reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. NTIC elects to account for these fees on a cash basis for certain joint ventures when uncertainty exists surrounding the collections of such fees.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Trade receivables arise from sales of NTIC&#8217;s products and services to NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures and to unaffiliated customers. Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales NTIC makes to its joint ventures of products and the essential additives required to make ZERUST&#174; industrial corrosion inhibiting products functional. Receivables for services to NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are contractually based primarily on a percentage of the sales of the joint ventures and are intended to compensate NTIC for services NTIC provides to its joint ventures, including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical, and marketing services.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Payment terms for NTIC&#8217;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer. NTIC typically offers standard payment terms of net 30 days to unaffiliated customers. Payment terms for NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. NTIC typically offers payment terms to joint ventures of net 90 days. NTIC does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. NTIC reviews the credit histories of its customers, including its joint ventures, before extending unsecured credit. NTIC values accounts receivable net of an allowance for credit losses. Each quarter, NTIC prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for credit losses. NTIC determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical information, changes in current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when trade receivables share similar risk characteristics. Trade receivables that do share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are also not included in the collective (pool) evaluation.</p>

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The functional currency of each international joint venture and subsidiary is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur-Tec Lanka, NTI Asean, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, Zerust Taiwan, Zerust Mexico, Zerust India, NTI Europe, and NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since NTIC&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and transactions under NTIC&#8217;s employee stock purchase plan, in its consolidated financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. NTIC measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options or other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s inventories consist primarily of production materials and finished goods. NTIC purchases production materials and finished goods based on forecasted demand and records inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Management regularly assesses inventory valuation based on current and forecasted usage, demand and pricing, shelf life, customer inventory-related contractual obligations, and other considerations. If actual results differ from management estimates with respect to the actual or projected selling of inventories at amounts less than their carrying amounts, NTIC would adjust its inventory balances accordingly.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><b><i>Income Taxes </i></b></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;">NTIC utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC records net deferred tax assets to the extent NTIC believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, NTIC considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, including the prior three-year history. In the event NTIC determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, NTIC makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#8217;s foreign operations and investments in its foreign joint ventures is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&#8217;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Indian Rupee, the Chinese Renminbi, the South Korean Won, and the English Pound against the U.S. Dollar. NTIC&#8217;s fees for services provided to joint ventures and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies, and, thus, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in NTIC&#8217;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures reflected in its consolidated statements of operations. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</p>

<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;">Some raw materials used in NTIC&#8217;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;">&#160;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">With respect to interest rate risk, any outstanding advances under NTIC&#8217;s Credit Facility with JPM bear interest at a floating rate, at the option of NTIC, equal to either the CB Floating Rate or the Adjusted SOFR Rate, as defined above. Borrowings of $4,291,608 were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of August 31, 2024. Both term loans undertaken by NTIC China with China Construction Bank Corporation have an annual interest rate of 3.25% with interest due monthly. The current outstanding balance as of August 31, 2024 for both term loans is a total of USD $2,820,835.</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;">We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Northern Technologies International Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</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;"><b>Basis for Opinion</b></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 are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</p>

<p style="font-family:'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;">Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.</p>

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.</p>

<p style="font-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;">Generally, the Company&#8217;s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. The Company&#8217;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does not recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do not generate contract assets or liabilities.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> &#8211; Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers, and significant financing components. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Performance Obligations</i> &#8211; A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&#8217;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company&#8217;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below. The Company&#8217;s technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs, as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-25-16A and does not assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18 regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within one year or less, as the Company does not have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally 30 to 90 days.</p>

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Sales Commissions</i> &#8211; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC 340-40-25-4 and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Product Warranty</i> &#8211; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are not sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are not considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>International Revenue</i> &#8211; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world.

The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical information, changes in current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when trade receivables share similar risk characteristics. Trade receivables that do share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are also not included in the collective (pool) evaluation.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Trade Receivables from Joint Ventures </i>&#8211; Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&#8217;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for credit losses related to its joint venture receivables was not necessary as of August 31, 2024 or 2023.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and Payroll Tax Deferral - </i>On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (&#8220;CARES Act&#8221;) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (&#8220;ERC&#8221;), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes.

The Company has elected to account for the credit as a government grant. U.S. GAAP does not include grant accounting guidance for for-profit entities; therefore, the Company has elected to follow the grant accounting model in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until there is reasonable assurance (similar to the &#8220;probable&#8221; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that any conditions attached to the grant will be met and that the grant will be received. Once it is reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, 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. <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c422">No</span> income was recognized in fiscal 2024 for the ERC. Income from the grant can be presented as either other income or as a reduction in the expenses for which the grant was intended to compensate.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Investments in Joint Ventures</i> &#8211; Investments in the Company&#8217;s joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#8217;s share of a joint venture&#8217;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#8217;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#8217;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of August 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#8217;s income or assets make up more than 20% of the Company&#8217;s total assets or income.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#8217;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established. The Company determined that there was no impairment of investments in joint ventures as of August 31, 2024.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets</i> &#8211; The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there were no indications that the carrying value of long-lived assets was not recoverable as of August 31, 2024.</p>

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#8217;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#8217;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are recognized as general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company evaluates the materiality of required disclosures related to our business combinations using quantitative and qualitative measures.</p>

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually (at August 31), or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal or business climate, an adverse regulatory action or unanticipated competition.</p>

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</p>

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. 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 adopted this pronouncement on September 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial position or operating results.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): <i>Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.</i> ASU 2023-07 is intended to enhance financial reporting by requiring incremental disclosures for significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis by public entities required to report segment information in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. This standard will be applicable to the Company for the 2025 annual period and quarterly periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-07 and anticipates adopting the standard for the year ended August 31, 2025 and filings thereafter.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): <i>Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures</i>. The new guidance is expected to improve income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis, although retrospective application and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-09 and anticipates adopting the standard for the annual period starting September 1, 2025.</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 March 2024, the SEC adopted rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, <i>The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investo</i>rs, which requires the disclosure of material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics in annual reports and registration statements. For large-accelerated filers and accelerated filers, disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026, respectively, subject to legal challenges and the SEC&#8217;s voluntary stay of the disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has four stock-based compensation plans under which stock options or other stock-based awards have been granted: the Northern Technologies International Corporation 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan) and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2024 Plan replaced the 2019 Plan with respect to future award grants, which had replaced the 2007 Plan with respect to future grants; and, therefore, no further awards may be made under the 2019 Plan or 2007 Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards, and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&#8217;s economic objectives.

Upon initial adoption, using the modified retrospective transition approach, no leases with terms less than 12 months have been capitalized to the consolidated balance sheet consistent with ASC 842. Instead, these leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line expense throughout the lives of the leases. None of the Company&#8217;s leases contain common area maintenance or security agreements.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC 842, the most significant of which is that the Company elected the package of practical expedients available for transition that allow the Company to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. Additionally, the Company did not elect to use hindsight when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset. The Company has no contingent rent agreements.</p>

For fiscal 2025, as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&#8217;s earnings before interest, taxes, and other income (EBITOI), as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant&#8217;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&#8217;s annual base salary, and the individual&#8217;s position and level of responsibility within the Company.

<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 August 31, 2024, 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>

These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for fiscal year ended August 31, 2023 to reclassify tax receivables and tax payables.</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&#8217;s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#8217;s management, including NTIC&#8217;s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. NTIC&#8217;s management evaluated, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of NTIC&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on that evaluation, NTIC&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that NTIC&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that NTIC files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC&#8217;s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#8217;s management, including NTIC&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In&#160;connection with management&#8217;s assessment of controls over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, NTIC determined that it had not appropriately accounted for employee retention credits that were available to NTIC under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (&#8220;CARES Act&#8221;) which required 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. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 and the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness in NTIC&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. To remediate this material weakness, NTIC implemented a new internal control designed to address the accounting for all material unusual or complex transactions as they occur.<br/>
<br/>
<b>Remediation of Material Weaknesses</b></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;">During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, NTIC tested its new internal control over financial reporting related to its remediation efforts described above that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. Based on the actions taken, as well as the evaluation of the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of the new control, NTIC determined that the material weakness have been remediated as of August 31, 2024.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), for Northern Technologies International Corporation and its subsidiaries. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">NTIC&#8217;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&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projection of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Management, with the participation of NTIC&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2024. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control &#8211; Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 31, 2024.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Section 1. <u>Place of Meetings</u>. Meetings of the stockholders shall be held at any place within or without the State of Delaware as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely be means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#8220;<u>DGCL</u>&#8221;). In the absence of any such designation or determination, meetings of stockholders shall be held at the Corporation&#8217;s principal executive offices.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Section 2. <u>Annual Meetings</u>. If required by applicable law, an annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held for the purpose of electing directors and conducting such other business as may properly come before the meeting each year on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Section 3. <u>Special Meetings</u>. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called by the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President and shall be called by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in the amount of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. At such meetings, the only business which may be transacted is that relating to the purpose or purposes set forth in the notice or waivers of notice thereof.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Section 4. <u>Notice of Meetings</u>. Except as otherwise required by law, written, printed or electronic notice stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be prepared and delivered by the Corporation not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the U.S. mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at such stockholder&#8217;s address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Notice given by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder&#8217;s electronic mail address shall be effective when directed to such stockholder&#8217;s electronic mail address, unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited as provided by law. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation. For purposes of these Bylaws, unless the context otherwise requires, &#8220;<u>electronic transmission</u>&#8221; means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such recipient through an automated process. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present (except as otherwise provided by law), or if notice is waived by those not present. Any previously scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled, and (unless the Corporation&#8217;s Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides) any special meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled, by the Corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.</p>

Whenever any notice is required to be given under any provisions of law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing or by telecopy or any other means of communication permissible by law, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such notice.

The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation&#8217;s principal place of business. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;">Section 7. <u>Quorum; Adjournment and Postponement</u>. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation. Whether or not a quorum is present, any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time for any reasonable purpose and to any other time or place, if any, at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chair of the meeting or the Board of Directors. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication) unless these Bylaws otherwise require, no notice of the adjourned meeting need be given if (a) the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment was taken, (ii) displayed during the time scheduled for the meeting on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with these Bylaws; and (b) the date is not more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting shall be sent, as provided in this Section 7 of Article II. The Board of Directors may, at any time prior to the holding of a meeting of stockholders, annual or special, and for any reasonable reason, postpone, reschedule or cancel such meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.</p>

At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or as may be permitted by law, or by the stockholder&#8217;s duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or the Secretary&#8217;s representative, or otherwise delivered telephonically or electronically as set forth in the applicable proxy statement, at or before the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three (3) years from its date, unless a longer period is provided for in the proxy. A proxy may be executed in writing (or by a transmission permitted by applicable law, including Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the &#8220;<u>Exchange Act</u>&#8221;)) by the stockholder, or by such stockholder&#8217;s duly authorized attorney in fact. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the person who executed it, or such person&#8217;s legal representatives or assigns except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been given. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.</p>

Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess, adjourn and/or postpone the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding person at the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or concerns by participants.

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Nature of Business </i>&#8211; Northern Technologies International Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) develop and market proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services in over 65 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. The Company&#8217;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#174; brand. The Company has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#174; products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for over 50 years and, more recently, has also expanded into the oil and gas industry. Additionally, the Company markets and sells a portfolio of proprietary bio-based and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under the Natur-Tec&#174; brand. These&#160;sustainable packaging products are intended to reduce the Company&#8217;s customers&#8217; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound waste disposal options. The Company&#8217;s <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c413">two</span> operating and reportable segments are ZERUST&#174; and Natur-Tec&#174;.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company participates, either directly or indirectly, in 15 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. While most of the Company&#8217;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also sell the Company&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds and finished products. The profits of joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The Company typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and does not control the decisions of these entities, including dividend declaration or amount in any given year.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Principles of Consolidation</i> &#8211; NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&#8217;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V (Zerust Mexico), NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe), and HNTI Limited (Zerust India), NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India), NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#231;&#227;o de Corros&#227;o S.A. (Zerust Brazil), NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka, Natur Tec Lanka (Pvt) Ltd (Natur Tec Lanka), and NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), and its wholly owned subsidiaries Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd (Zerust Singapore), Zerust Vietnam Co. Ltd (Zerust Vietnam) and Zerust Taiwan Co. Ltd (Zerust Taiwan). NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any of its joint ventures.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Non-Controlling Interests</i> &#8211; The Company owns 75% of Natur-Tec India, 75% of Natur Tec Lanka, 85% of Zerust Brazil, 60% of NTI Asean, Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd, Zerust Vietnam Co Ltd and Zerust Taiwan Co Ltd.&#160; The remaining ownership of the consolidated entities are accounted for as non-controlling interests and reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company allocates gains and losses to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation results in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest. Changes in ownership interests are treated as equity transactions if the Company maintains control.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Net Sales </i>&#8211; The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers on its consolidated statements of operations. There are no sales originating from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures to unaffiliated customers included in the amount, as the Company&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.</p>





<p style="font-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;">Generally, the Company&#8217;s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. The Company&#8217;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does not recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do not generate contract assets or liabilities.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> &#8211; Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers, and significant financing components. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Performance Obligations</i> &#8211; A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&#8217;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company&#8217;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below. The Company&#8217;s technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs, as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-25-16A and does not assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18 regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within one year or less, as the Company does not have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally 30 to 90 days.</p>

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





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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Sales Commissions</i> &#8211; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC 340-40-25-4 and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Product Warranty</i> &#8211; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are not sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are not considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>International Revenue</i> &#8211; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. See Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.</p>


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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Trade Receivables </i>&#8211; Payment terms for the Company&#8217;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer.&#160; The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days.&#160; The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable.&#160; The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit.&#160; The Company presents accounts receivable, net of an allowance for credit losses.&#160;The allowance for credit losses reflects management&#8217;s estimate of amounts that will ultimately not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical information, changes in current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when trade receivables share similar risk characteristics. Trade receivables that do share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are also not included in the collective (pool) evaluation.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Trade Receivables from Joint Ventures </i>&#8211; Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&#8217;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for credit losses related to its joint venture receivables was not necessary as of August 31, 2024 or 2023.</p>


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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and Payroll Tax Deferral - </i>On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (&#8220;CARES Act&#8221;) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (&#8220;ERC&#8221;), which is a refundable tax credit 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:'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;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company then applied for the ERC in fiscal 2023 for the second and third quarters of that year of $573,751 and $566,006, respectively. The Company has elected to account for the credit as a government grant. U.S. GAAP does not include grant accounting guidance for for-profit entities; therefore, the Company has elected to follow the grant accounting model in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until there is reasonable assurance (similar to the &#8220;probable&#8221; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that any conditions attached to the grant will be met and that the grant will be received. Once it is reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, 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. <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c422">No</span> income was recognized in fiscal 2024 for the ERC. Income from the grant can be presented as either other income or as a reduction in the expenses for which the grant was intended to compensate.</p>


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





<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures </i>&#8211;<i> </i>The Company provides services to its joint ventures including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical, and marketing services based on licensing or other agreements with its joint ventures. The Company receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&#8217;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. Under the Company&#8217;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities, at which point a sale is deemed to have occurred and results in obligation for the joint venture to pay the royalty and recognition of the fee by the Company. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. The Company accounts for these fees on a cash basis if uncertainty exists surrounding the collection of such fees.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Cash and Cash Equivalents</i> &#8211; The Company includes as cash and cash equivalents highly liquid, short-term investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Inventories </i>&#8211; Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value and include a reduction in value based on slow-moving and obsolete inventory, which amounted to $365,341 and $733,965 in the fiscal years ending August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Property and Equipment and Depreciation</i> &#8211; Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated service lives of the various assets as follows:</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Investments in Joint Ventures</i> &#8211; Investments in the Company&#8217;s joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#8217;s share of a joint venture&#8217;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#8217;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#8217;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of August 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#8217;s income or assets make up more than 20% of the Company&#8217;s total assets or income.</p>

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

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

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

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

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





<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#8217;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established. The Company determined that there was no impairment of investments in joint ventures as of August 31, 2024.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets</i> &#8211; The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there were no indications that the carrying value of long-lived assets was not recoverable as of August 31, 2024.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Acquisitions of Businesses</i> -&#160;Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#8217;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#8217;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are recognized as general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company evaluates the materiality of required disclosures related to our business combinations using quantitative and qualitative measures.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Patents and Trademarks</i> &#8211; Patents and trademarks, including acquisition costs, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Upon retirement, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company estimates the useful life of patents to be 17 years and customer relationships to be 15 years. This estimate is based on a combination of factors, including the expected duration of patent protection, technological obsolescence, and market conditions. Amortization of intangible assets is recorded using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.</p>


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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a quantitative test that compares the fair value to its carrying value to determine the amount of any impairment. The Company has determined there was <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c431"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c432">no</span></span> goodwill impairment during the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023.</p>

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






<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Income Taxes</i> &#8211; The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</p>

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

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


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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Foreign Currency Translation (Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)) </i>&#8211; The functional currency of NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur Tec Lanka, Zerust Mexico, Zerust India, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, Zerust Taiwan, NTI Europe, and each unconsolidated international joint venture is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur Tec Lanka, Zerust India, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, Zerust Taiwan, NTI Asean, Zerust Mexico, NTI Europe, and NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and do not change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations.</p>


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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</i> &#8211; The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term accounts receivable, notes payable, trade accounts payables, and other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Shipping and Handling</i> &#8211; The Company records all amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as sales. The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of goods sold.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Research and Development</i> &#8211; The Company expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Common Stock</i> &#8211; The Company issues authorized but unissued shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.</p>

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

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

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


<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Subsequent Events</i> &#8211; The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements through November 19, 2024 for events requiring disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.</p>

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In 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. 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 adopted this pronouncement on September 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial position or operating results.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): <i>Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.</i> ASU 2023-07 is intended to enhance financial reporting by requiring incremental disclosures for significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis by public entities required to report segment information in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. This standard will be applicable to the Company for the 2025 annual period and quarterly periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-07 and anticipates adopting the standard for the year ended August 31, 2025 and filings thereafter.</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 December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): <i>Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures</i>. The new guidance is expected to improve income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis, although retrospective application and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-09 and anticipates adopting the standard for the annual period starting September 1, 2025.</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 March 2024, the SEC adopted rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, <i>The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investo</i>rs, which requires the disclosure of material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics in annual reports and registration statements. For large-accelerated filers and accelerated filers, disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026, respectively, subject to legal challenges and the SEC&#8217;s voluntary stay of the disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In August 2023, Tianjin Zerust (NTI ASEAN&#8217;s previously written-off joint venture in China) was deregistered and the remaining cash was cleared by the Chinese authorities to be paid out to shareholders. Subsequent to August 31, 2023, NTI Asean received a final liquidation of its ownership interest in the former joint venture of $1,986,027. This one-time equity gain on the liquidation of previously written-off investment in Tianjin Zerust is included in joint venture operations in fiscal 2023. The final liquidation payment was subject to withholding tax of $198,603 and minority income of $676,614 as NTIC owns 60% of NTI ASEAN. The transaction also resulted in legal fees of $95,890, and a management bonus expense of $250,000.</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 $4,291,608 under the new Credit Agreement were outstanding August 31, 2024. Borrowings of $3,600,000 were outstanding as of August 31, 2023 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 principal amount under the Credit Facility, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on the maturity date. On January 5, 2024, the Company and JPM renewed its Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from January 6, 2024 to January 6, 2025. All other terms of the Credit Facility and the Credit Agreement remain the same.</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;">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. The weighted average interest rate was 7.44 and 6.27 for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.</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;">To secure the Credit Agreement, the Company assigned 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. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of August 31, 2024 and 2023.</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 accordance with ASC Topic No. 470, &#8220;Debt &#8211; Modifications and Extinguishments&#8221; (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: '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;">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. Each term loan provided NTIC China with a RMB 10,000,000 (USD $1.45 million). The term loans mature in April 2025 and June 2025, respectively, unless extended. 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. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of August 31, 2024. The current outstanding balance as of August 31, 2024 for both term loans was a total of USD $2,820,835.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of the Company&#8217;s common stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Net income per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic net income per share. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net income per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of August 31, 2024 were options outstanding to purchase 305,514 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of August 31, 2023 were options outstanding to purchase 322,246 shares of common stock.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has four stock-based compensation plans under which stock options or other stock-based awards have been granted: the Northern Technologies International Corporation 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan) and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2024 Plan replaced the 2019 Plan with respect to future award grants, which had replaced the 2007 Plan with respect to future grants; and, therefore, no further awards may be made under the 2019 Plan or 2007 Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards, and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&#8217;s economic objectives. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2024 Plan, the maximum number of shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock available for issuance under the 2024 Plan is (i) 800,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock; plus (ii) the number of shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock remaining available for issuance under the 2019 Plan but not subject to outstanding awards under the 2019 Plan as of January 19, 2024; plus (iii) the number of additional shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock subject to awards outstanding under the 2019 Plan as of January 19, 2024 but only to the extent that such outstanding awards are forfeited, cancelled, expire, or otherwise terminate without the issuance of such shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock after January 19, 2024. Options granted generally have a term of <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c883">ten</span> years and become exercisable over a <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c884">one</span>- or <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c885">three</span>- year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant.

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has not provided U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes with respect to its portion of the cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that are essentially permanent in duration. As a result of the 2017 tax law changes, U.S. federal income taxes on dividends received from the Company&#8217;s foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures after December 31, 2017 have been generally eliminated. However, the Company continues to be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation of any undistributed earnings that are not essentially permanent in duration. The Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $180,000 in fiscal 2024 and tax expense of approximately $51,600 during fiscal 2023, representing changes in the deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes to be paid with respect to the portion of the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were not essentially permanent in duration.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company records a tax valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company determined based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results, that it is more likely than not that its domestic deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the absence of objectively verifiable sources of taxable income. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $12,694,800 and $11,933,700 as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to be realized. The net deferred tax asset as of August 31, 2024 and 2023 relates entirely to non-US deferred tax assets which are expected to be realized offset by deferred tax liability for withholding tax on cumulative undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were not essentially permanent. The change in the valuation allowance totaled an increase of $761,100 and $340,800 for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.</p>

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company currently has operating leases for various buildings, equipment and vehicles. These leases are under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with expiration dates between November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2028. The Company has the option to extend certain leases to <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c1370">five</span> or <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c1371">ten</span>-year term(s) and has the right of first refusal on any sale.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its long-term operating leases as right-of-use assets. Upon initial adoption, using the modified retrospective transition approach, no leases with terms less than 12 months have been capitalized to the consolidated balance sheet consistent with ASC 842. Instead, these leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line expense throughout the lives of the leases. None of the Company&#8217;s leases contain common area maintenance or security agreements.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company has made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC 842, the most significant of which is that the Company elected the package of practical expedients available for transition that allow the Company to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. Additionally, the Company did not elect to use hindsight when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset. The Company has no contingent rent agreements.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">On August 26, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#8217;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2025. For fiscal 2025, as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&#8217;s earnings before interest, taxes, and other income (EBITOI), as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant&#8217;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&#8217;s annual base salary, and the individual&#8217;s position and level of responsibility within the Company. In the case of each of the Company&#8217;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be determined based upon the Company&#8217;s actual EBITOI for fiscal 2025 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal 2025, and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&#8217;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan is discretionary, and bonuses may be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock, the exact amount and percentages of which are determined by the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2025.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">On August 28, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#8217;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2024. $2,200,000 was recognized for bonuses for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, $800,000 of the bonus is comprised of stock options granted to management on September 1, 2023 that will be expensed over three years and $1,400,000 will be paid out in cash and profit sharing subsequent to year end. This is compared to $2,000,000 recognized for bonuses for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, $800,000 of the bonus comprised of stock options granted to management on September 1, 2022 and $1,200,000 was paid out in cash and profit sharing subsequent to year end.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Three joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#8217;s joint ventures in the U.S., Japan and Thailand) accounted for&#160;43.3% of the Company&#8217;s trade joint venture receivables as of August 31, 2024, and two joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#8217;s joint ventures in the United States and South Korea) accounted for&#160;40.1% of the Company&#8217;s trade joint venture receivables as of August 31, 2023.</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;">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 August 31, 2024, 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>

<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;">Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for fiscal year ended August 31, 2023 to reclassify tax receivables and tax payables.</p>

<td class="text">
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Net Sales </i>&#8211; The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers on its consolidated statements of operations. There are no sales originating from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures to unaffiliated customers included in the amount, as the Company&#8217;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.</p>





<p style="font-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;">Generally, the Company&#8217;s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. The Company&#8217;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does not recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do not generate contract assets or liabilities.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Revenue Recognition</i> &#8211; Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers, and significant financing components. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Performance Obligations</i> &#8211; A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&#8217;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company&#8217;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below. The Company&#8217;s technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting products to analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their performance requirements.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs, as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-25-16A and does not assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18 regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within one year or less, as the Company does not have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally 30 to 90 days.</p>

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





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

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Sales Commissions</i> &#8211; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC 340-40-25-4 and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Product Warranty</i> &#8211; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are not sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are not considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>International Revenue</i> &#8211; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. See Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.</p>

<td class="text">
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Trade Receivables </i>&#8211; Payment terms for the Company&#8217;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer.&#160; The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days.&#160; The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable.&#160; The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit.&#160; The Company presents accounts receivable, net of an allowance for credit losses.&#160;The allowance for credit losses reflects management&#8217;s estimate of amounts that will ultimately not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical information, changes in current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when trade receivables share similar risk characteristics. Trade receivables that do share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are also not included in the collective (pool) evaluation.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Trade Receivables from Joint Ventures </i>&#8211; Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&#8217;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#8217;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for credit losses related to its joint venture receivables was not necessary as of August 31, 2024 or 2023.</p>

<td class="text">
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and Payroll Tax Deferral - </i>On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (&#8220;CARES Act&#8221;) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (&#8220;ERC&#8221;), which is a refundable tax credit 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:'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;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company then applied for the ERC in fiscal 2023 for the second and third quarters of that year of $573,751 and $566,006, respectively. The Company has elected to account for the credit as a government grant. U.S. GAAP does not include grant accounting guidance for for-profit entities; therefore, the Company has elected to follow the grant accounting model in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until there is reasonable assurance (similar to the &#8220;probable&#8221; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that any conditions attached to the grant will be met and that the grant will be received. Once it is reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, 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. <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c422">No</span> income was recognized in fiscal 2024 for the ERC. Income from the grant can be presented as either other income or as a reduction in the expenses for which the grant was intended to compensate.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"><i>Investments in Joint Ventures</i> &#8211; Investments in the Company&#8217;s joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#8217;s share of a joint venture&#8217;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#8217;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#8217;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of August 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#8217;s income or assets make up more than 20% of the Company&#8217;s total assets or income.</p>

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

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

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

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





<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#8217;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established. The Company determined that there was no impairment of investments in joint ventures as of August 31, 2024.</p>

The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there were no indications that the carrying value of long-lived assets was not recoverable as of August 31, 2024.</p>

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#8217;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#8217;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are recognized as general and administrative expense as incurred.

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nature of Business &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; Northern Technologies International Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) develop and market proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services in over 65 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors, and agents. The Company&#x2019;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#xae; brand. The Company has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#xae; products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military, and retail consumer markets for over 50 years and, more recently, has also expanded into the oil and gas industry. Additionally, the Company 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&#160;sustainable packaging products are intended to reduce the Company&#x2019;s customers&#x2019; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound waste disposal options. The Company&#x2019;s &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c413"&gt;two&lt;/span&gt; operating and reportable segments are ZERUST&#xae; and Natur-Tec&#xae;.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company participates, either directly or indirectly, in 15 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe, and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. While most of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also sell the Company&#x2019;s Natur-Tec&#xae; resin compounds and finished products. The profits of joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The Company typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and does not control the decisions of these entities, including dividend declaration or amount in any given year.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Principles of Consolidation&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&#x2019;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V (Zerust Mexico), NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe), and HNTI Limited (Zerust India), NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India), NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#xe7;&#xe3;o de Corros&#xe3;o S.A. (Zerust Brazil), NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka, Natur Tec Lanka (Pvt) Ltd (Natur Tec Lanka), and NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean), and its wholly owned subsidiaries Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd (Zerust Singapore), Zerust Vietnam Co. Ltd (Zerust Vietnam) and Zerust Taiwan Co. Ltd (Zerust Taiwan). NTIC&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any of its joint ventures.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Non-Controlling Interests&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company owns 75% of Natur-Tec India, 75% of Natur Tec Lanka, 85% of Zerust Brazil, 60% of NTI Asean, Zerust Singapore Pte Ltd, Zerust Vietnam Co Ltd and Zerust Taiwan Co Ltd.&#160; The remaining ownership of the consolidated entities are accounted for as non-controlling interests and reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company allocates gains and losses to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation results in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest. Changes in ownership interests are treated as equity transactions if the Company maintains control.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Net Sales &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers on its consolidated statements of operations. There are no sales originating from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures to unaffiliated customers included in the amount, as the Company&#x2019;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.&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;Generally, the Company&#x2019;s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. The Company&#x2019;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does not recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do not generate contract assets or liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers, and significant financing components. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Performance Obligations&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&#x2019;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company&#x2019;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below. The Company&#x2019;s technical 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.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The transaction price for the Company&#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does not have variable consideration in the form of refunds, credits, rebates, price concessions, pricing incentives, or other items impacting transaction price. The purchase order pricing in arrangements with customers is deemed to approximate standalone selling price; therefore, the Company does not need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. There are no material obligations that extend beyond one year.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs, as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-25-16A and does not assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18 regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within one year or less, as the Company does not have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally 30 to 90 days.&lt;/p&gt;

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





&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience if the right to return products is granted to its customers. The Company does not record a return asset, as non-conforming products are generally not returned. The Company&#x2019;s return policy does not vary by geography. The customer has no rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is not under a warranty obligation.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sales Commissions&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC 340-40-25-4 and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Product Warranty&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are not sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are not considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;International Revenue&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. See Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trade Receivables &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; Payment terms for the Company&#x2019;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer.&#160; The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days.&#160; The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable.&#160; The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit.&#160; The Company presents accounts receivable, net of an allowance for credit losses.&#160;The allowance for credit losses reflects management&#x2019;s estimate of amounts that will ultimately not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical information, changes in current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when trade receivables share similar risk characteristics. Trade receivables that do share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are also not included in the collective (pool) evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trade Receivables from Joint Ventures &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for credit losses related to its joint venture receivables was not necessary as of August 31, 2024 or 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;&lt;i&gt;Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and Payroll Tax Deferral - &lt;/i&gt;On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (&#x201c;CARES Act&#x201d;) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (&#x201c;ERC&#x201d;), which is a refundable tax credit 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.&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;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company then applied for the ERC in fiscal 2023 for the second and third quarters of that year of $573,751 and $566,006, respectively. The Company has elected to account for the credit as a government grant. U.S. GAAP does not include grant accounting guidance for for-profit entities; therefore, the Company has elected to follow the grant accounting model in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until there is reasonable assurance (similar to the &#x201c;probable&#x201d; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that any conditions attached to the grant will be met and that the grant will be received. Once it is reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, 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. &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c422"&gt;No&lt;/span&gt; income was recognized in fiscal 2024 for the ERC. Income from the grant can be presented as either other income or as a reduction in the expenses for which the grant was intended to compensate.&lt;/p&gt;


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





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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cash and Cash Equivalents&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company includes as cash and cash equivalents highly liquid, short-term investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Inventories &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value and include a reduction in value based on slow-moving and obsolete inventory, which amounted to $365,341 and $733,965 in the fiscal years ending August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Property and Equipment and Depreciation&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated service lives of the various assets as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

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


&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; width: 40%; margin-right: 30%; margin-left: 30%;"&gt;

			&lt;td&gt;Machinery and equipment&#160;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;3-10 years&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;&lt;i&gt;Investments in Joint Ventures&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Investments in the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#x2019;s share of a joint venture&#x2019;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#x2019;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of August 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#x2019;s income or assets make up more than 20% of the Company&#x2019;s total assets or income.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

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

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





&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#x2019;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established. The Company determined that there was no impairment of investments in joint ventures as of August 31, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;


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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there were no indications that the carrying value of long-lived assets was not recoverable as of August 31, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Acquisitions of Businesses&lt;/i&gt; -&#160;Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#x2019;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#x2019;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are recognized as general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company evaluates the materiality of required disclosures related to our business combinations using quantitative and qualitative measures.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Patents and Trademarks&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Patents and trademarks, including acquisition costs, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Upon retirement, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company estimates the useful life of patents to be 17 years and customer relationships to be 15 years. This estimate is based on a combination of factors, including the expected duration of patent protection, technological obsolescence, and market conditions. Amortization of intangible assets is recorded using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.&lt;/p&gt;


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

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a quantitative test that compares the fair value to its carrying value to determine the amount of any impairment. The Company has determined there was &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c431"&gt;&lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c432"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; goodwill impairment during the years ended August 31, 2024 and 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;&lt;i&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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


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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Foreign Currency Translation (Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)) &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; The functional currency of NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur Tec Lanka, Zerust Mexico, Zerust India, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, Zerust Taiwan, NTI Europe, and each unconsolidated international joint venture is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, Natur Tec Lanka, Zerust India, Zerust Singapore, Zerust Vietnam, Zerust Taiwan, NTI Asean, Zerust Mexico, NTI Europe, and NTIC&#x2019;s joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and do not change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/p&gt;


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

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Shipping and Handling&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company records all amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as sales. The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of goods sold.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Research and Development&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Common Stock&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company issues authorized but unissued shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stock-Based Compensation&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and transactions under the Company&#x2019;s employee stock purchase plan, in its consolidated financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award (generally the vesting term).&lt;/p&gt;

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


&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Subsequent Events&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements through November 19, 2024 for events requiring disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Use of Estimates&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Net Sales &lt;/i&gt;&#x2013; The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers on its consolidated statements of operations. There are no sales originating from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures to unaffiliated customers included in the amount, as the Company&#x2019;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;When determining recognition of revenue arrangements the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4)&#160;allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.&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;Generally, the Company&#x2019;s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. The Company&#x2019;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include a fixed or determinable price, and sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does not recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do not generate contract assets or liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers, and significant financing components. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Performance Obligations&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&#x2019;s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to its standalone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company&#x2019;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below. The Company&#x2019;s technical 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.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The transaction price for the Company&#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does not have variable consideration in the form of refunds, credits, rebates, price concessions, pricing incentives, or other items impacting transaction price. The purchase order pricing in arrangements with customers is deemed to approximate standalone selling price; therefore, the Company does not need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. There are no material obligations that extend beyond one year.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs, as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-25-16A and does not assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18 regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within one year or less, as the Company does not have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements since payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally 30 to 90 days.&lt;/p&gt;

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





&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience if the right to return products is granted to its customers. The Company does not record a return asset, as non-conforming products are generally not returned. The Company&#x2019;s return policy does not vary by geography. The customer has no rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is not under a warranty obligation.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sales Commissions&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization, as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC 340-40-25-4 and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Product Warranty&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are not sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are not considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;International Revenue&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. See Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.&lt;/p&gt;

The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical information, changes in current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when trade receivables share similar risk characteristics. Trade receivables that do share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are also not included in the collective (pool) evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;

Payment terms for the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability and, based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined that an allowance for credit losses related to its joint venture receivables was not necessary as of August 31, 2024 or 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and Payroll Tax Deferral - &lt;/i&gt;On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (&#x201c;CARES Act&#x201d;) was signed into law providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including an employee retention credit (&#x201c;ERC&#x201d;), which is a refundable tax credit 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.&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;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company engaged tax advisors of a Big 4 accounting firm which determined the Company qualified for ERCs. The Company then applied for the ERC in fiscal 2023 for the second and third quarters of that year of $573,751 and $566,006, respectively. The Company has elected to account for the credit as a government grant. U.S. GAAP does not include grant accounting guidance for for-profit entities; therefore, the Company has elected to follow the grant accounting model in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, the Company cannot recognize any income from the grant until there is reasonable assurance (similar to the &#x201c;probable&#x201d; threshold in U.S. GAAP) that any conditions attached to the grant will be met and that the grant will be received. Once it is reasonably assured that the grant conditions will be met and that the grant will be received, 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. &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c422"&gt;No&lt;/span&gt; income was recognized in fiscal 2024 for the ERC. Income from the grant can be presented as either other income or as a reduction in the expenses for which the grant was intended to compensate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Investments in Joint Ventures&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; Investments in the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and additional investments. In the event the Company&#x2019;s share of a joint venture&#x2019;s cumulative losses exceeds the Company&#x2019;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures had positive equity as of August 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company considers any of its joint ventures to be significant and discloses entity specific financial information if the joint venture&#x2019;s income or assets make up more than 20% of the Company&#x2019;s total assets or income.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

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

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





&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. The Company employs a systematic methodology on a quarterly basis that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and for equity securities, the Company&#x2019;s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to other income (expense), and a new cost basis in the investment is established. The Company determined that there was no impairment of investments in joint ventures as of August 31, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When evaluating assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there were no indications that the carrying value of long-lived assets was not recoverable as of August 31, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed requires management&#x2019;s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, probabilities of success, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Company&#x2019;s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are recognized as general and administrative expense as incurred. The Company evaluates the materiality of required disclosures related to our business combinations using quantitative and qualitative measures.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company estimates the useful life of patents to be 17 years and customer relationships to be 15 years. This estimate is based on a combination of factors, including the expected duration of patent protection, technological obsolescence, and market conditions. Amortization of intangible assets is recorded using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.&lt;/p&gt;

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

If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a quantitative test that compares the fair value to its carrying value to determine the amount of any impairment.

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/i&gt; &#x2013; The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company makes an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;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. 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 adopted this pronouncement on September 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial position or operating results.&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 November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): &lt;i&gt;Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.&lt;/i&gt; ASU 2023-07 is intended to enhance financial reporting by requiring incremental disclosures for significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis by public entities required to report segment information in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. This standard will be applicable to the Company for the 2025 annual period and quarterly periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-07 and anticipates adopting the standard for the year ended August 31, 2025 and filings thereafter.&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 December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): &lt;i&gt;Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures&lt;/i&gt;. The new guidance is expected to improve income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis, although retrospective application and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating its disclosure approach for ASU 2023-09 and anticipates adopting the standard for the annual period starting September 1, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;In March 2024, the SEC adopted rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, &lt;i&gt;The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investo&lt;/i&gt;rs, which requires the disclosure of material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics in annual reports and registration statements. For large-accelerated filers and accelerated filers, disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026, respectively, subject to legal challenges and the SEC&#x2019;s voluntary stay of the disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;In August 2023, Tianjin Zerust (NTI ASEAN&#x2019;s previously written-off joint venture in China) was deregistered and the remaining cash was cleared by the Chinese authorities to be paid out to shareholders. Subsequent to August 31, 2023, NTI Asean received a final liquidation of its ownership interest in the former joint venture of $1,986,027. This one-time equity gain on the liquidation of previously written-off investment in Tianjin Zerust is included in joint venture operations in fiscal 2023. The final liquidation payment was subject to withholding tax of $198,603 and minority income of $676,614 as NTIC owns 60% of NTI ASEAN. The transaction also resulted in legal fees of $95,890, and a management bonus expense of $250,000.&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 $4,291,608 under the new Credit Agreement were outstanding August 31, 2024. Borrowings of $3,600,000 were outstanding as of August 31, 2023 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 principal amount under the Credit Facility, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on the maturity date. On January 5, 2024, the Company and JPM renewed its Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from January 6, 2024 to January 6, 2025. All other terms of the Credit Facility and the Credit Agreement remain the same.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Borrowings 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. The weighted average interest rate was 7.44 and 6.27 for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.&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;To secure the Credit Agreement, the Company assigned 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;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. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of August 31, 2024 and 2023.&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;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of the Company&#x2019;s common stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Net income per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic net income per share. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net income per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of August 31, 2024 were options outstanding to purchase 305,514 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as of August 31, 2023 were options outstanding to purchase 322,246 shares of common stock.&lt;/p&gt;

			&lt;p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;10.&lt;/b&gt;&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;The Company has four stock-based compensation plans under which stock options or other stock-based awards have been granted: the Northern Technologies International Corporation 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan) and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2024 Plan replaced the 2019 Plan with respect to future award grants, which had replaced the 2007 Plan with respect to future grants; and, therefore, no further awards may be made under the 2019 Plan or 2007 Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.&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 2024 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards, and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&#x2019;s economic objectives. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2024 Plan, the maximum number of shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock available for issuance under the 2024 Plan is (i) 800,000 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock; plus (ii) the number of shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock remaining available for issuance under the 2019 Plan but not subject to outstanding awards under the 2019 Plan as of January 19, 2024; plus (iii) the number of additional shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock subject to awards outstanding under the 2019 Plan as of January 19, 2024 but only to the extent that such outstanding awards are forfeited, cancelled, expire, or otherwise terminate without the issuance of such shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock after January 19, 2024. Options granted generally have a term of &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c883"&gt;ten&lt;/span&gt; years and become exercisable over a &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c884"&gt;one&lt;/span&gt;- or &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c885"&gt;three&lt;/span&gt;- year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted at per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company&#x2019;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options. As of August 31, 2024, options to purchase an aggregate of 0 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock were outstanding under the 2024 Plan and 957,059 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock remain available for grant under the 2024 Plan. As of August 31, 2024, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,387,415 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock were outstanding under the 2019 Plan, and 365,251 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock were outstanding under the 2007 Plan.&lt;/p&gt;

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



&lt;p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 269,844 and 277,613 shares of its common stock during fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The fair value of option grants is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company recognized compensation expense of $1,381,169 during fiscal 2024 and compensation expense of $1,337,734 during fiscal 2023 related to the options that vested during such time period. As of August 31, 2024, the total compensation cost for non-vested options not yet recognized in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was $1,007,636. Stock-based compensation expense of $672,134 is expected during fiscal 2025 and $335,502 is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2026, based on outstanding options as of August 31, 2024. Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and results for the grants:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company has not provided U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes with respect to its portion of the cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that are essentially permanent in duration. As a result of the 2017 tax law changes, U.S. federal income taxes on dividends received from the Company&#x2019;s foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures after December 31, 2017 have been generally eliminated. However, the Company continues to be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation of any undistributed earnings that are not essentially permanent in duration. The Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $180,000 in fiscal 2024 and tax expense of approximately $51,600 during fiscal 2023, representing changes in the deferred tax liability for foreign withholding taxes to be paid with respect to the portion of the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were not essentially permanent in duration.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The tax effect of the temporary differences and tax carryforwards comprising the net deferred taxes shown on the consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;As of August 31, 2024, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $3,844,800. This amount begins to expire to the extent not utilized by August 31, 2025. In addition, the Company had federal and state tax credit carryforwards of $5,405,560 as of August 31, 2024, which begin to expire in fiscal 2025.&#160; These federal and state tax credit carryforwards consist primarily of federal and Minnesota research and development credit carryforwards. The Company also has a deferred tax asset of $203,000 for federal net operating loss carryforwards and $274,000 for state net operating loss carryforwards as of August 31, 2024. The federal net operating loss carryforward has an indefinite carryforward period. The state net operating loss carryforward will begin to expire to the extent not utilized by August 31, 2025. The Company has a deferred tax asset of $481,200 for foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which will begin to expire to the extent not utilized by August 31, 2033.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records a tax valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company determined based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results, that it is more likely than not that its domestic deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the absence of objectively verifiable sources of taxable income. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $12,694,800 and $11,933,700 as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to be realized. The net deferred tax asset as of August 31, 2024 and 2023 relates entirely to non-US deferred tax assets which are expected to be realized offset by deferred tax liability for withholding tax on cumulative undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures that the Company determined were not essentially permanent. The change in the valuation allowance totaled an increase of $761,100 and $340,800 for the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.&#160; It is not expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet. There was &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c1276"&gt;&lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c1277"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; liability for the payment of interest and penalties as of both August 31, 2024 and 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 is subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of August 31, 2024, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state, local, or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years prior to August 31, 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company currently has operating leases for various buildings, equipment and vehicles. These leases are under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with expiration dates between November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2028. The Company has the option to extend certain leases to &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c1370"&gt;five&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c1371"&gt;ten&lt;/span&gt;-year term(s) and has the right of first refusal on any sale.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its long-term operating leases as right-of-use assets. Upon initial adoption, using the modified retrospective transition approach, no leases with terms less than 12 months have been capitalized to the consolidated balance sheet consistent with ASC 842. Instead, these leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line expense throughout the lives of the leases. None of the Company&#x2019;s leases contain common area maintenance or security agreements.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The Company has made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC 842, the most significant of which is that the Company elected the package of practical expedients available for transition that allow the Company to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. Additionally, the Company did not elect to use hindsight when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset. The Company has no contingent rent agreements.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Present Value of Leases&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;The weighted-average remaining lease term was 1.25 years and 1.21 years as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company&#x2019;s lease agreements do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate nor is it available to the Company from its lessors. Instead, as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company estimates the weighted-average discount rate for its operating leases to be 7.61% and 7.60%, respectively, to present value based on the incremental borrowing rate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Operating lease cost under these leases was approximately $340,799 and $373,330 as of August 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Annual Bonus Plan&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;On August 26, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#x2019;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2025. For fiscal 2025, as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&#x2019;s earnings before interest, taxes, and other income (EBITOI), as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant&#x2019;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&#x2019;s annual base salary, and the individual&#x2019;s position and level of responsibility within the Company. In the case of each of the Company&#x2019;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be determined based upon the Company&#x2019;s actual EBITOI for fiscal 2025 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal 2025, and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&#x2019;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan is discretionary, and bonuses may be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock, the exact amount and percentages of which are determined by the Company&#x2019;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;On August 28, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#x2019;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2024. $2,200,000 was recognized for bonuses for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, $800,000 of the bonus is comprised of stock options granted to management on September 1, 2023 that will be expensed over three years and $1,400,000 will be paid out in cash and profit sharing subsequent to year end. This is compared to $2,000,000 recognized for bonuses for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, $800,000 of the bonus comprised of stock options granted to management on September 1, 2022 and $1,200,000 was paid out in cash and profit sharing subsequent to year end.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;Three joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures in the U.S., Japan and Thailand) accounted for&#160;43.3% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables as of August 31, 2024, and two joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures in the United States and South Korea) accounted for&#160;40.1% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables as of 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;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

&lt;p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"&gt;From time to time, the Company is subject to various other claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable and an amount could be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when 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 August 31, 2024, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company&#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;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;Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for fiscal year ended August 31, 2023 to reclassify tax receivables and tax payables.&lt;/p&gt;
