Northern Technologies International has a market cap of $50.8 million; its shares were traded at around $11.52 with a P/E ratio of 12.5 and P/S ratio of 1.9.
NTIC s consolidated net sales increased 9.5% during the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011. This increase was primarily a result of increased sales of Natur-Tec® products and ZERUST® rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products and services. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, 90.6% of NTIC s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST® products and services, which increased 7.7% to $4,795,283 during the three months ended November 30, 2012, compared to the same respective prior fiscal year period due to increased demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers. NTIC has focused its sales efforts of ZERUST® products and services by strategically targeting customers with specific corrosion issues in new market areas, including the oil and gas industry and other industrial sectors that offer sizable growth opportunities. NTIC s consolidated net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2012 included $551,814 of sales made by Zerust Brazil, and of those sales, $40,385 in sales were made to the oil and gas industry sector in Brazil. Overall demand for ZERUST® products and services depends heavily on the overall health of the markets in which NTIC sells its products, including in particular the automotive market.
Net Sales. NTIC s consolidated net sales increased 9.5% to $5,291,747 during the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011. NTIC s consolidated net sales to unaffiliated customers excluding NTIC s joint ventures increased 11.5% to $4,770,387 during the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to the same respective prior fiscal year period. This increase was primarily a result of increased sales of Natur-Tec® products and ZERUST® rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products and services. Net sales to joint ventures decreased 6.0% to $521,360 during the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to the same respective prior fiscal year period. This decrease correlated with the 4.4% decrease in total net sales of NTIC s joint ventures for the three months ended November 30, 2012.
During the three months ended November 30, 2012, 90.6% of NTIC s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST® products and services, which increased 7.7% to $4,795,283 during the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to $4,452,646 during the same prior year period, due primarily from increased demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers.

Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures. NTIC recognized fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $1,846,277 during the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to $1,445,252 during the three months ended November 30, 2011 representing an increase of $401,025. This increase was primarily a result consolidation of the fees for services earned by NTI Asean which are included in the current fiscal quarter, but not in the prior comparative quarter. This is partially offset by a 4.4% decrease in total net sales of NTIC s joint ventures to $27,524,934 during the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to $28,795,232 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. Total net sales of NTIC s joint ventures were adversely affected in part by the European economic slowdown, which NTIC believes also adversely affected net sales of certain of NTIC s other non-European joint ventures, as well as the weakening of the EURO and other currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. Sales of NTIC s joint ventures are not included in NTIC s product sales and are not combined with NTIC s sales in NTIC s consolidated financial statements or in any description of NTIC s sales.
