<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;">These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025. These consolidated financial statements also should be read in conjunction with the “<i>Management</i>’<i>s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations</i>” section appearing in this report.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company classifies a property as held for sale when all of the criteria set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360: Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360) have been met. The criteria are as follows: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. At the time the Company classifies a property as held for sale, the Company ceases recording depreciation and amortization. A property classified as held for sale is measured and reported at the lower of: (i) its carrying amount or (ii) its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Properties classified as held for sale are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.</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;">Other than the addition of the accounting policy for assets held for sale described above, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025.</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;">In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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;"> </p>
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, <i>Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses</i>, which requires disaggregation of certain costs in a separate note to the financial statements, such as the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, included in each relevant expense caption in annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.</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;">In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, <i>Financial Instruments</i>—<i>Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets</i>. The ASU provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of current accounts receivable and contract assets when estimating expected credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company is party to a Credit Agreement (as amended, the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPM), which provides the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit (the Credit Facility) of up to $12.0 million (as amended below), which includes a $5.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. Borrowings of $11,763,555 and $9,329,021 were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, respectively.</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;">On December 17, 2025, the Company and JPM renewed the Company’s Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from January 5, 2026 to February 5, 2027. On January 30, 2026, the Company and JPM entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the availability under the Credit Facility from $10.0 million to $12.0 million.</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;">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, unless the Credit Facility is extended or renewed or terminated earlier.</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;">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 "CB Floating Rate" means the greater of the Prime Rate in the United States or 2.50%. The term "Adjusted SOFR Rate" 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 2.35% applied per annum. There is no applicable margin with respect to borrowings using a CB Floating Rate. In March 2026, the Company elected to convert its outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility from the CB Floating Rate to the Adjusted SOFR Rate. The weighted average interest rate was 6.20% and 6.65% for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.</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;">To secure the Credit Agreement, the Company assigned JPM a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in collateral made up of the assets of the Company.</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;">The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other matters, limitations on the Company’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 “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” 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.</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;">The Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant under the Credit Agreement as of May 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00, and the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 0.68 to 1.00 as of May 31, 2026. On July 7, 2026, the Company obtained a waiver from JPM with respect to such noncompliance of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant for the period ended May 31, 2026. The Company was in compliance with all other covenants under the Credit Agreement as of May 31, 2026.</p>
<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left"> </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;"> </p>
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">On April 27, 2026 and May 28, 2026, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary in China, NTIC China, renewed its loan agreements with China Construction Bank Corporation. Each term loan provides NTIC China with RMB 10,000,000 (approximately USD $1.40 million), for an aggregate of RMB 20,000,000. The term loans mature on April 26, 2027 and May 27, 2027, respectively, and the Company expects to amend or extend each loan at maturity on substantially the same terms, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so. Each term loan bears interest at the one-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) minus 75 basis points, fixed at the LPR in effect on the business day prior to the loan's effective date and held constant for the 12-month term, resulting in an annual interest rate of 3.25% for each loan, with interest due monthly and principal due at maturity. Both term loans are secured by an office building owned by NTIC China and the loan agreements contain certain financial and other covenants. NTIC China was in compliance with all covenants under the loan agreements as of May 31, 2026. The outstanding balance as of May 31, 2026 for both term loans was a total of USD $2,955,083. The outstanding balance as of August 31, 2025 for both term loans was a total of USD $2,804,695.</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;">On August 30, 2025, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India, entered into a Foreign Currency Term Loan Agreement with IDFC FIRST Bank Limited (the Bank). The term loan provides Natur-Tec India with a facility of INR 500 lakhs (USD $600,000) to finance the purchase of land in Chennai, India. The loan was disbursed on August 30, 2025 for INR 461 lakhs (USD $522,545) and is repayable in 85 monthly installments to a US dollar account of USD $7,899 each beginning October 5, 2025 and continuing through September 5, 2032. Borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.45% per annum. The loan is secured by a lien over Natur-Tec India’s cash deposits with the Bank totaling INR 476 lakhs (USD $539,731), and the related land purchase, which was registered in November 2025. The outstanding balance as of May 31, 2026 was INR 425.7 lakhs (USD $448,239), of which INR 56.0 lakhs (USD $59,003) was classified as current and INR 369.6 lakhs (USD $389,236) as long-term. The term loan contains customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Natur-Tec India, including, among other matters, restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, creating liens, or changing the nature of its business. Natur-Tec India was in compliance with all covenants under the term loan agreement as of May 31, 2026.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net (loss) income per share assumes the exercise of stock options and the settlement of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The following is a reconciliation of the net (loss) income per share computation for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025:</p>

<p style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The dilutive impact summarized above relates to periods in which the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Net (loss) income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. When dilutive, stock options and restricted stock units are included as equivalents using the treasury stock method in computing diluted net (loss) income per common share. For the nine months ended May 31, 2026, potential common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share because the Company reported a net loss for the period and the effect of these shares would have been anti-dilutive. Excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026 were options outstanding to purchase 89,353 shares of common stock. Excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025 were options outstanding to purchase 1,445,960 shares of common stock.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">The Company utilizes product net sales, direct and indirect cost of goods sold, and gross profit for each product in reviewing the financial performance of a product type. Further allocation of Company expenses or assets, aside from amounts presented in the tables above, is not utilized in evaluating product performance, nor does such allocation occur for internal financial reporting. The CODM uses gross profit and considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses segment gross profit for evaluating pricing strategy to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another and in determining the compensation of certain employees. The CODM has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions and making resource allocation decisions for the Company and the segments. Asset information, including capital expenditures, are reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated entity level and not by segment. Refer to total assets on the consolidated balance sheets.</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 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 May 31, 2026, 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.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During the nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company received $1,139,756 in cash as a result of Employee Retention Credits (ERC), which are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes initially made available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The ERC was received in cash and was claimed under the suspension test criteria based on the Company’s determination that it met the eligibility requirements. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the ERC payments have been recognized as Other Income in the period in which the cash was received, as the Company determined that all relevant criteria for recognition had been met. The ERC represents a one-time benefit and does not constitute recurring operational revenue.</p>

The ERC payments of $1,139,756 are recorded as Other Income in the consolidated statements of operations, while the interest income of $181,529 is recorded separately under Interest Income in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company committed to a plan to sell its Beachwood, Ohio facility, which has historically been used by the Company's Zerust segment. The Company engaged a commercial real estate broker, listed the property for sale, and concluded that all criteria for classification as held for sale under ASC 360 were met during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company's accounting policy for assets held for sale is described in Note 2.</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;">As a result, the Company reclassified the carrying value of the property, $869,407, from property, plant and equipment, net, to assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2026. Depreciation ceased upon classification of such property and assets as assets held for sale. The Company measured the assets held for sale at the lower of: (i) carrying value or (ii) fair value, less estimated costs to sell and determined no impairment loss was required.</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;">On May 26, 2026, the Company received a non-binding letter of intent to purchase the property for $1,150,000 in cash, subject to a customary diligence period and execution of a definitive purchase and sale agreement. The Company expects the sale of the property to close during fiscal 2027, although it is working to complete the transaction before the end of fiscal 2026 if practicable. There can be no assurance that the sale will be completed on the terms described or at all.</p>
