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 <em style="font: inherit;"> December 15, 2022, </em>including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the <em style="font: inherit;">first</em> reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this ASU.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The fair value of the intangible asset associated with customer relationships was estimated using a discounted cash flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to only the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The rate used to discount the estimated future net cash flows to their present values for the intangible assets was based upon a weighted average cost of capital calculation. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the assets acquired from Zerust India. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the fair value of the customer relationships was <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c82877389">15.3%.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The amortization period for the intangible assets is <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c82877390">15</span> years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based upon estimated cash flows generated from such asset. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the expansion opportunity of the Company’s ZERUST business in India.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquisition at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, since the Company acquired the remaining <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c82877391">50%</span> ownership interest of Zerust India effective <em style="font: inherit;"> September 1, 2021, </em>the Company recognized a gain of $3,951,550 during the <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022. </em>This gain is included in “Remeasurement gain on acquisition of equity method investee” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022.</em></p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The Company has included the financial results of Zerust India in the consolidated financial statements from <em style="font: inherit;"> September 1, 2021. </em>Net revenue and net income related to Zerust India since the date of acquisition totaled $4,680,103 and $496,748, respectively. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $65,000 and $115,000, respectively, and are recorded in general and administrative expense as incurred during the <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022.</em></p>
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">Unaudited consolidated pro forma information assuming the acquisition had occurred on <em style="font: inherit;"> September 1, 2020 </em>for the <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022 </em>would have an increase in net sales $2,257,542 and $4,271,892, respectively.

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The Company has <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> stock-based compensation plans under which stock options or other stock-based awards have been granted: the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Stock Incentive Plan, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Stock Incentive Plan (<em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan) and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan replaced the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan with respect to future grants; and, therefore, <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> further awards <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be made under the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> 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; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> 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. On <em style="font: inherit;"> January 15, 2021, </em>the Company’s stockholders approved certain amendments to the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan, including an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan by an additional 800,000 shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan, up to a maximum of 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable under the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan. Options granted generally have a term of <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c82877751">ten</span> years and become exercisable over a <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c82877752">one</span>- or <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c82877753">three</span>- year period beginning on the <em style="font: inherit;">one</em>-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 <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022, </em>options to purchase an aggregate of 895,484 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan and 704,516 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for grant under the <em style="font: inherit;">2019</em> Plan. As of <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022, </em>options to purchase an aggregate of 662,789 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the <em style="font: inherit;">2007</em> Plan.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 174,840 and 419,874 shares of its common stock during the <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;">2021,</em> 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 $133,334 and $266,668 during the <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022, </em>respectively, and compensation expense of $66,667 and $133,334 during the <em style="font: inherit;">three</em> and <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2021, </em>respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period. As of <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022, </em>the total compensation cost for non-vested options <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> yet recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations was $1,475,485. Stock-based compensation expense of $465,766 is expected through the remainder of fiscal year <em style="font: inherit;">2022</em> and $671,526 and $338,193 is expected to be recognized during fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2023</em> and fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2024,</em> respectively, based on outstanding options as of <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022. </em>Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized.

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p>
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">On <em style="font: inherit;"> August 26, 2021, </em>the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company’s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending <em style="font: inherit;"> August 31, 2022. </em>For fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022,</em> 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 (EBITOI), 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 EBITOI for fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022</em> compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal <em style="font: inherit;">2022,</em> 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 is discretionary, and bonuses <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, the exact amount and percentages of which are 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 <em style="font: inherit;">2022.</em> There was $666,668 recognized for management bonuses for the <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022, </em>compared to $1,033,334 recognized for management bonuses for the <em style="font: inherit;">six</em> months ended <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2021.</em></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 <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> probable or the amount is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of <em style="font: inherit;"> February 28, 2022, </em>the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</p>
