For fiscal 2016 as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes and other income, as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant’s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual’s annual base salary and the individual’s position and level of responsibility within the company. In the case of each of the Company’s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be determined based upon the Company’s actual Adjusted EBITOI for fiscal 2016 compared to a pre-established target Adjusted EBITOI for fiscal 2016 and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer’s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan are discretionary and may be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2016. There was no accrual for management bonuses for the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to an accrual of $240,000 for management bonuses for the three months ended November 30, 2014.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Four joint ventures (consisting of the Company’s joint ventures in Korea, India, Thailand and Tianjin Zerust) accounted for 64.4% of the Company’s trade joint venture receivables at November 30, 2015 and accounted for 67.0% of the Company’s trade joint venture receivables at August 31, 2015.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 16; Value: 1 --> <!-- Field: /Page --> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On March 23, 2015, the Company and NTI Asean filed a lawsuit in Tianjin No 1 Intermediate People’s Court against two individuals, Meng Tao and Xu Hui, related to breaches of duties and contractual commitments owed to NTI Asean under certain agreements related to the Company’s former joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust Anti-Corrosion Technologies Ltd (Tianjin Zerust). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Mr. Meng Tao and Xu Hui have engaged in self-dealing, usurped business opportunities, and received economic benefits that were required to go to Tianjin Zerust.

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 can 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 be have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of November 30, 2015, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</div></div>

This guidance, which includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations related to contracts with customers, was originally to be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB confirmed a one year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard which also allows early adoption as of the original effective date. The updated guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements, but believes there will be no material impact, if any.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Inventory</div>”, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in-first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or operating results.</div></div>

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION</div></div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has two stock-based compensation plans under which stock options and other stock-based awards have been granted, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The 2007 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’s economic objectives. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan, up to a maximum of 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable under the 2007 Plan. Options granted under the 2007 Plan generally have a term of ten years and become exercisable over a three- or four-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’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options. As of November 30, 2015, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company available for issuance under the ESPP is 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the ESPP. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods beginning on September 1 and March 1 of each year. The purchase price of the shares is 90% of the lower of the fair market value of common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period. This discount may not exceed the maximum discount rate permitted for plans of this type under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The ESPP is compensatory for financial reporting purposes.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 53,447 and 45,067 shares of its common stock during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fair value of option grants is determined at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company recognized compensation expense of $121,854 and $143,897 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period. As of November 30, 2015, the total compensation cost for nonvested options not yet recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations was $544,984, net of estimated forfeitures.

Ltd. on January 1, 2015. Effective December 31, 2014, the Company’s investment in Tianjin Zerust is reported at carrying value based on the Company’s decreased level of influence over the entity, and the Company has reclassified previously unrecognized gains on foreign currency translation from accumulated other comprehensive income. Any declines in the fair value are reflected as adjustments to the carrying value. No such adjustments were recorded during three months ended November 30, 2015.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin Zerust, it is possible that receipt of future financial and other information from Tianjin Zerust may impact the realization of the Company’s investment in and realization of a receivable from Tianjin Zerust. The last time the Company received financial information from Tianjin Zerust was through November 2014. The Company, as of November 30, 2015, does not believe there are any triggering events that would require an impairment test. The Company’s current net investment is approximately $1,130,200, which is 60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of November 30, 2015. The Company will continue to evaluate the realization of this asset on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company incurred expenses of $862,183 during three months ended November 30, 2015, related to the termination of the joint venture agreement with Tianjin Zerust, the initiation of the liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and the formation and initial operation of NTIC China. Such expenses consisted primarily of legal expenses and personnel expenses associated with the establishment of the subsidiary and the hiring of new personnel. These expenses are recorded as operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and are partially offset by the gross margin contribution from sales of NTIC China.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin Zerust, it is possible that if and when financial and other information is received from Tianjin Zerust that the Company may need to recognize an impairment charge on its investment in Tianjin Zerust. The Company estimates that its maximum exposure in terms of an impairment charge would be approximately $1,130,200, which is 60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of November 30, 2015.</div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"> </div> <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">See Note 13 regarding pending litigation involving Tianjin Zerust.</div></div>
