In the case of each of the Company&amp;#x2019;s executive officer participants, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;75%&lt;/div&gt; of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be determined based upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s actual EBITOI for fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019&lt;/div&gt; compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;25%&lt;/div&gt; of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&amp;#x2019;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan are discretionary and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of NTIC common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined by the Company&amp;#x2019;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019.&lt;/div&gt; There was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$450,000&lt;/div&gt; accrued for management bonuses for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;three&lt;/div&gt; months ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;compared to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$318,000&lt;/div&gt; accrued for management bonuses for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;three&lt;/div&gt; months ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2017.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Three joint ventures (consisting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures in South Korea, Thailand, and India) accounted for &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;71.3%&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;74.1%&lt;/div&gt; of the Company&amp;#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 31, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;respectively.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;From time to time, the Company is subject to various other claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable and an amount could be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; probable or the amount is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; materially affect the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

This model is based on the core principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;On &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the Company adopted ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt; for all customer contracts using the modified retrospective method. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606,&lt;/div&gt; the Company performs the following &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; steps: (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt;) identify the contracts with a customer; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt;) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt;) determine the transaction price; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;4&lt;/div&gt;) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5&lt;/div&gt;) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to, or services it performs for, the customer.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The adoption of ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt; did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; impact the previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings; and therefore, the adoption of the standard did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; impact the Company&amp;#x2019;s revenue recognition process. Generally, the Company&amp;#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&amp;#x2019;s services are generally sold based upon quotes or contracts with customers that include fixed or determinable price and sales arrangements do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; contain any significant financing component for its customers. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; recognize revenue related to product warranties, nor does the Company incur significant contract costs. Customer arrangements do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; generate contract assets or liabilities.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Changes to the Company&amp;#x2019;s significant accounting policies as a result of adopting ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt; are discussed below:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/div&gt; - 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 the Company&amp;#x2019;s revenue is contracted with customers through &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt;-time purchase orders and short-term contracts, the Company 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.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Individually promised goods and services in a contract are considered a distinct performance obligation and accounted for separately if the customer can benefit from the individual good or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the arrangement. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations, the consideration is allocated between the performance obligations in proportion to their estimated standalone selling price. Costs related to products delivered are recognized in the period incurred, unless criteria for capitalization of costs are met. Costs of revenues consist primarily of direct labor, manufacturing overhead, materials and components. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; incur significant upfront costs to obtain a contract. If costs to obtain a contract were to become material, the costs would be recorded as an asset and amortized to expense in a manner consistent with the related recognition of revenue.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&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;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the balance sheet.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Performance Obligations&lt;/div&gt; - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract&amp;#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&amp;#x2019;s various performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition are discussed below:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&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;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The transaction price for the Company&amp;#x2019;s products is the invoiced amount. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have variable consideration in the form of refunds, credits, rebates, price concessions, pricing incentives or other items impacting transaction price. The purchase order pricing in arrangements with customers is deemed to approximate standalone selling price; therefore, the Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; need to allocate proceeds on a relative standalone selling price allocation between performance obligations. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;50&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;14&lt;/div&gt; and does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year or less. There are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; material obligations that extend beyond &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs as defined by the terms in the customer agreement. The Company immediately recognizes incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. The Company has applied the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;25&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;16A&lt;/div&gt; and does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; assess if immaterial items are promised goods or services. The Company has also applied the practical expedient in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;606&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;32&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt; regarding the adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the customer pays for that good or service within &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year or less, as the Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have any significant financing components in its customer arrangements as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale, generally &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;thirty&lt;/div&gt; to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;ninety&lt;/div&gt; days.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical experience if the right to return products is granted to its customers. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; record a return asset as non-conforming products are generally &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; returned. The Company&amp;#x2019;s return policy does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; vary by geography. The customer has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; rotation or price protection rights, and the Company is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; under a warranty obligation.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Trade Receivables&lt;/div&gt; - Trade receivables include amounts invoiced and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; be collected. The allowance is based on a review of all outstanding amounts on an on-going basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considers a customer&amp;#x2019;s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible and have been historically insignificant. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts are considered past due if payment is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; received according to agreed-upon terms.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Sales Commissions&lt;/div&gt; - Sales commissions paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization as they are incremental costs that would &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient provided by ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;340&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;40&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;25&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;4&lt;/div&gt; and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the assets that would have otherwise been recognized is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year or less. The Company records these costs as a selling expense.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Product Warranty&lt;/div&gt; - The Company offers warranties on various products and services. These warranties are assurance type warranties that are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; sold on a standalone basis; therefore, they are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the costs that &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue is recognized for the product sale.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;International Revenue&lt;/div&gt; - The Company markets its products to numerous countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and other parts of the world. See Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;11,&lt;/div&gt; Segment and Geographical Information, for information regarding revenue disaggregation by geography.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 2016, &lt;/div&gt;FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Statement of Cash Flows (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;230&lt;/div&gt;): Restricted Cash&lt;/div&gt;, a consensus of the FASB&amp;#x2019;s Emerging Issues Task Force (Task Force). The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. &amp;nbsp;This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; quarter of fiscal year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019.&lt;/div&gt; The amendments in this ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt; should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; anticipate ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt; to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;During &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02,&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x201c;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/div&gt;.&amp;#x201d; ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&lt;/div&gt; was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12&lt;/div&gt; months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined).

Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption.

The Share Increase Amendment was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 16, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;and it became effective the same day. In determining that the Share Increase Amendment was approved by the required vote, votes cast by brokers, banks or other nominees without instruction from the beneficial owners of certain of our outstanding shares were counted in favor of the proposal in accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that govern how brokers &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;cast such votes. Because a disclosure in the definitive proxy statement for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting, which was filed on Schedule &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;14A&lt;/div&gt; with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 27, 2017 (&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Proxy Statement), anticipated that brokers would &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have discretion to vote for the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment, a question has been raised as to the validity of the vote taken on the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment. The Company believes that the Share Increase Amendment was properly approved and is effective. However, because the description of the authority of brokers to vote on proposals without instruction in the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Proxy Statement &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;create some uncertainty as to the effect of the vote obtained at the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting and out of an abundance of caution, the Company is asking its stockholders at the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 18, 2019 &lt;/div&gt;to ratify the filing and effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment pursuant to Delaware law in order to eliminate any uncertainty related to the effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment. The Company has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; issued, or reserved for issuance, and will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; issue, or reserve for issuance, any of the additional &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5,000,000&lt;/div&gt; authorized shares as part of the Share Increase Amendment unless the vote at the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019&lt;/div&gt; Annual Meeting of Stockholders is in favor of the ratification of the Share Increase Amendment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:StockholdersEquityNoteDisclosureTextBlock>
