These leases are under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with expiration dates between &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2019 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2024. &lt;/div&gt;The Company has the option to extend certain leases to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; or &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;ten&lt;/div&gt;-year term(s), and has the right of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; refusal on any 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;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, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; leases with terms less than &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12&lt;/div&gt;-months have been capitalized to the balance sheet consistent with ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842.&lt;/div&gt; Instead, these leases are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line expense throughout the lives of the leases. All leases of the Company do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; contain common area maintenance or security agreements.&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 has made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842,&lt;/div&gt; the most significant of which is that the Company elected the package of practical expedients available for transition which allow the Company to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; 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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842.&lt;/div&gt; Additionally, the Company did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; 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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; contingent rent agreements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Present Value of Long-term Leases&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-left: 1.55in; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt; &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;(in thousands):&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td colspan="3" style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;November 30, 2019&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt; &lt;td style="width: 87%; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;Right-of-use assets, net&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;$&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 10%; font-size: 10pt; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;598,784&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;Current portion of lease liability&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;295,856&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;Lease liability, less current portion&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font-size: 10pt; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;302,928&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt; &lt;td style="text-indent: 20pt; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;Total lease liability&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 2.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 2.5pt double; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;$&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 2.5pt double; font-size: 10pt; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;598,784&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 2.5pt double; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 17; Value: 1 --&gt;     &lt;div style=" margin: 0pt 0; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2019, &lt;/div&gt;the weighted-average remaining lease term was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2.3&lt;/div&gt; years. The Company&amp;#x2019;s lease agreements do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; provide a readily determinable implicit rate nor is it available to the Company from its lessors. Instead, as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 30, 2019, &lt;/div&gt;the Company estimates the weighted-average discount rate for its operating leases to be &lt;div style="display: inline;

margin: 0pt 0"&gt;On &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 31, 2019, &lt;/div&gt;the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&amp;#x2019;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 31, 2020. &lt;/div&gt;For fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2020&lt;/div&gt; as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&amp;#x2019;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&amp;#x2019;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&amp;#x2019;s annual base salary and the individual&amp;#x2019;s position and level of responsibility within the Company. 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;2020&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;2020,&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 bonuses &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, with the exact amount and percentages 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;2020.&lt;/div&gt; There was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$400,000&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, 2019 &lt;/div&gt;compared to &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;&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;51.4%&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, 2019 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; joint ventures (consisting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures in South Korea, Thailand, France, Germany and India) accounted for &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;69.6%&lt;/div&gt; of the Company&amp;#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 31, 2019.&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;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, 2019, &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>

&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company adopted the new leasing standards on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2019, &lt;/div&gt;using a modified retrospective transition approach to be applied to leases existing as of, or entered into after, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2019; &lt;/div&gt;and, consequently, financial information will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; be updated and the disclosures required under Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;

font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2019. &lt;/div&gt;The Company has reviewed its existing lease contracts and the impact of the new leasing standards on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and disclosures. Upon adoption of the new leasing standards, the Company recognized a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on our consolidated balance sheet of approximately &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$600,000&lt;/div&gt;.&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 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;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2018, &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;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Income Statement &amp;#x2013; Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;220&lt;/div&gt;) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income&lt;/div&gt;, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. 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;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02,&lt;/div&gt; however, does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. 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;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&lt;/div&gt; will become effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s fiscal year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2020,&lt;/div&gt; with the option for early adoption at any time prior to the effective date. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on its 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;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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial position or operating results.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DescriptionOfNewAccountingPronouncementsNotYetAdopted>

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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$318,818&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$357,980&lt;/div&gt; during 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, 2019 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018,&lt;/div&gt; respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period.

&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company adopted the new leasing standards on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2019, &lt;/div&gt;using a modified retrospective transition approach to be applied to leases existing as of, or entered into after, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2019; &lt;/div&gt;and, consequently, financial information will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; be updated and the disclosures required under Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;

font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 1, 2019. &lt;/div&gt;The Company has reviewed its existing lease contracts and the impact of the new leasing standards on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and disclosures. Upon adoption of the new leasing standards, the Company recognized a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on our consolidated balance sheet of approximately &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$600,000&lt;/div&gt;.&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 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;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2018, &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;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Income Statement &amp;#x2013; Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;220&lt;/div&gt;) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income&lt;/div&gt;, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. 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;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02,&lt;/div&gt; however, does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. 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;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&lt;/div&gt; will become effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s fiscal year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2020,&lt;/div&gt; with the option for early adoption at any time prior to the effective date. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new accounting guidance will have on its 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;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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial position or operating results.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>
