<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Effective September&nbsp;1,
2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the FASB Interpretation 48, &#147;<i>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#150; an interpretation of FASB
Statement 109</i>&#148; (&#147;FIN 48&#148;).&#160;
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an entity&#146;s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;109
and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial
statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return.&#160; Under FIN 48, the impact of an
uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the
largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the
relevant taxing authority.&#160; An uncertain
income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood
of being sustained.&#160; Additionally, FIN 48
provides guidance on subsequent derecognition of tax positions, financial
statement classification, recognition of interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods and disclosure and transition rules.&#160; The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a
material impact on the Company&#146;s financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As of August&nbsp;31, 2007,
the Company had $75,000 of unrecognized tax benefits.&#160; If recognized, $75,000 would have an impact
on the Company&#146;s effective tax rate.&#160;
During the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008, the unrecognized tax
benefits have not increased or decreased materially.&#160; It is expected that the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, the
Company cannot reasonably estimate that change.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company recognizes
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
its income tax provision.&#160; This policy
did not change as a result of the adoption of FIN 48.&#160; As of September&nbsp;1, 2007, the Company
recorded a liability of $11,300 for interest and penalties.&#160; The liability for the payment of interest and
penalties did not materially change during the nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company operates in
multiple tax jurisdictions, both within the United States and outside the
United States.&#160; With certain exceptions,
the Company is no longer subject to examination for tax years prior to 2004.&#160; The Company&#146;s tax filings for the fiscal
years August&nbsp;31, 2004 and August&nbsp;31, 2005 were examined by the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service.&#160; The
examination has been concluded with the exception of the payroll tax issue
discussed within Note 9 to these consolidated financial statements entitled &#147;Commitments
and Contingencies.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In March&nbsp;2008, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No.&nbsp;161, <i>Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities</i>.&#160; SFAS 161 requires additional disclosures
related to the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for derivatives
and how derivatives impact financial statements.&#160; SFAS No.&nbsp;161 is effective for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2008. The Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During December&nbsp;2007, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No.&nbsp;141, (Revised 2007), &#147;Business Combinations&#148; (SFAS
141 (Revised 2007)&#148;).&nbsp; While this statement retains the fundamental
requirement of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS
141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations, SFAS 141
(Revised 2007) now establishes the principles and requirements for how an
acquirer in a business combination:&nbsp; recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed,
and any noncontrolling interests in the acquired; recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in the business combination or the gain from a bargain
purchase; and determines what information should be disclosed in the financial
statements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature
and financial effects of the business combination.&nbsp; SFAS 141 (Revised
2007) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December&nbsp;15,
2008.&nbsp; We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 141 will have a material
effect on our results of operations or financial position.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company accounts for
stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.&nbsp;123 (Revised 2004), &#147;<i>Share-Based Payment</i>.&#148; During the nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2008, options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of
the Company&#146;s common stock on the date of grant.&#160; The options vest equally over a three-year
period and have a five-year term. Compensation expense equal to the grant date
fair value is recognized for these awards over the vesting period. Total
compensation expense for options was $71,403 and $60,786 for the nine months
ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 and May&nbsp;31, 2007, respectively.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The fair value of each
share-based option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
valuation method that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The
expected life is a significant assumption as it determines the period for which
the risk-free interest rate, volatility and dividend yield must be applied. The
expected life is the average length of time over which the employee is expected
to exercise his or her options. Expected volatilities are based on the movement
of the Company&#146;s common stock over the most recent historical period equivalent
to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate for periods
within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate
over the expected life at the time of grant. Dividend yield is estimated over
the expected life based on the Company&#146;s dividend policy, historical dividends
paid, expected increase in future cash dividends and expected increase in the
Company&#146;s stock price. The following table illustrates the assumptions for
options granted in the following fiscal periods.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In April&nbsp;2007, REACT-NTI,
LLC (&#147;React LLC&#148;), a company that is 75% owned by the Company, was served with
a summons and complaint that was filed by Shamrock Technologies,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Shamrock&#148;)
in state court in New York.&#160; This case
has been removed to the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New
York.&#160; The lawsuit seeks payment from
React LLC of commissions in the approximate amount of $314,500 owed by React
LLC under a license agreement between React LLC and Shamrock.&#160; The complaint alleges breach of the license
agreement by React LLC and seeks damages in an unspecified amount for such
breach as well as damages of approximately $300,000 for the alleged failure of
React LLC to purchase from Shamrock certain inventory manufactured for sale to
a customer.&#160; React LLC acknowledges that
React LLC has not made payment for product in the approximate amount of
$300,000 to Shamrock as the invoice for this was only received after Shamrock
had already filed its complaint, but denies all of the claims of breach of the
license agreement by it and believes that damages caused by Shamrock&#146;s breach
of the license agreement and tortious conduct&nbsp;exceed any amounts owing to
Shamrock.&nbsp; React LLC formally responded to the complaint after removal by
moving to dismiss or stay because of Shamrock&#146;s failure to comply with
alternative dispute resolution procedures contained&nbsp;in the license
agreement.&nbsp; By court order, the matter is presently stayed so that the
parties can attempt mediation.&nbsp; The parties mediated for one day and were
unsuccessful in resolving the matter.&#160;
Negotiations following the mediation have also been unproductive, and it
appears that the stay will be lifted.&#160;
Accordingly, React LLC&nbsp;will both defend against Shamrock&#146;s
allegations and pursue&nbsp;counterclaims against Shamrock&nbsp;for breach of
the license agreement and for&nbsp;tortious interference.&#160; Because this matter is in the early stage,
the Company cannot estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any,
associated with its resolution.&#160; However,
th</font>ere can be no assurance
that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not result in a material adverse
effect on the Company&#146;s business, financial condition or results of operations.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company is involved in a legal action in Finland
whereby the Company sued a Finnish company for trademark infringement.&#160; Upon initiation of legal action, the courts
seized the inventory of the Finnish company as contraband. The Company won the
initial case, but subsequently lost on appeal.&#160;
The Company is currently appealing the latest court decision.&#160; The outcome of the appeal is unknown and any
potential loss cannot be estimated at this time; however, the potential
judgment or any settlement resulting from the case could have a material impact
on the financial position or results of operations of the Company due to claims
against the Company related to expiration of inventory seized from the Finnish
company.&#160; The Company has obtained a
$600,000 stand-by letter of credit to potentially fund the Company&#146;s
obligations related to the courts in Finland against the defendant&#146;s products
that were seized as contraband.&#160; Advances
made under the demand letter of credit will be made at the sole discretion of
National City Bank and will be due and payable on demand.&#160; Any outstanding unpaid principal balance
under the demand letter of credit bears interest at an annual rate based on
LIBOR plus 2.25%.&#160; Interest is payable in
arrears beginning on January&nbsp;15, 2007 and on the 15th day of each month
thereafter and on demand.&#160; Because the
Company believes that it has valid legal grounds for appeal, it has determined
that a loss is not probable at this time as defined by SFAS 5, &#147;<i>Accounting for Contingencies</i>.&#148;&#160; However,
there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of the matter
will not result in a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s business,
financial condition or results of operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On June&nbsp;11,
2008, the Company entered into an agreement to settle a lawsuit brought by
Evelyna Cantwell and Jack Cantwell, individually, and also doing business as
the principals of Byrd-Walsh International, LLC, against the Company and its
former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman
Emeritus, Philip M. Lynch.&#160; The lawsuit
sought unspecified injunctive relief as well as compensatory and punitive
damages in an unspecified amount which, based on the allegations of the
complaint, may have been claimed by plaintiffs to be in an amount in excess of
$45 million.&#160; Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their claims with
prejudice and to release the Company and Mr.&nbsp;Philip M. Lynch from any and
all claims, in exchange for a cash payment from the Company of $41,340.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Company is involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course
of business.&#160; Management is of the
opinion that any judgment or settlement resulting from these pending or
threatened actions would not have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s
business, financial condition or results of operations.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In June&nbsp;2007,
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service concluded its audit of the Company&#146;s U.S.
federal income tax returns for fiscal 2004 and 2005.&nbsp; As a result of such
audit,&nbsp;the Company paid the IRS approximately $25,000 in
additional&nbsp;payroll&nbsp;taxes.&nbsp; The Company also agreed
in&nbsp;principle with&nbsp;the IRS to adjustments that will&nbsp;result in the
additional payment of approximately $60,000 in income tax and interest.&nbsp;
As a result of the audit, the IRS has&nbsp;also taken the position that the
Company failed to withhold </font>and
has assessed against the Company approximately&nbsp;$505,000 of payroll taxes
and individual income taxes on&nbsp;travel and other expense reimbursements
made to Philip M. Lynch, the Company&#146;s former Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer and current Chairman Emeritus, and commissions payments made
to Inter Alia Holding Co. under that certain former Manufacturer&#146;s
Representative Agreement dated as of October&nbsp;1, 1976 and as subsequently
amended thereafter between the Company and Inter Alia, which agreement has
since been terminated.&nbsp; Inter Alia beneficially owns approximately 24.9% of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock
and Philip M. Lynch, the Company&#146;s former Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer and current Chairman Emeritus, and G. Patrick Lynch, the
Company&#146;s current President and Chief Executive Officer, are shareholders of
Inter Alia.&nbsp;&nbsp; G. Patrick Lynch is also the son of Philip M.
Lynch.&#160; The Company disagrees with the
IRS&#146; position on withholding and is in the process of appealing the
matter.&nbsp; Because the Company believes that it has valid legal grounds for
appeal, it has determined that a loss is not probable at this time as defined
by SFAS 5, &#147;<i>Accounting for Contingencies</i>.&#148; However,
there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of the matter will not

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On November&nbsp;16, 2007, the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the
material terms of an annual bonus plan for executive officers and certain
employees of the Company for fiscal year ending August&nbsp;31, 2008, the
purpose of which is to align the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries,
executive officers and stockholders by providing an incentive for the achievement
of key corporate and individual performance measures that are critical to the
success of the Company and linking a significant portion of each executive
officer&#146;s annual compensation to the achievement of such measures.&#160; The following is a brief summary of the
material terms approved by the Board:</font></p>

into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan, fall below 70% of target

bonuses under the plan will be made in both cash and shares of the Company&#146;s
common stock, the exact amount and percentages of which will be determined by
the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, within a
reasonable period of time after the completion of the Company&#146;s financial
statements for the fiscal year ending August&nbsp;31, 2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC focuses on developing,
marketing and selling proprietary environmentally responsible materials science
based products and technical services directly and via a network of independent
distributors, manufacturers&#146; representatives and joint ventures in over 50
countries.&#160; NTIC manufactures, markets
and sells primarily rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services for
automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical and military applications, sold
under the brand names Zerust&#174; and EXCOR&#174;.&#160;
NTIC also offers direct, worldwide on-site technical support on rust and
corrosion issues.&#160; In North America, NTIC
markets its technical services and Zerust&#174; products principally to industrial
users by a direct sales force and through a network of independent distributors
and sales representatives.&#160; NTIC&#146;s
technical service representatives work directly with the end users of NTIC&#146;s
products to analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their
technical requirements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to Zerust&#174; products
and services, NTIC&#146;s consolidated net sales in North America for the nine
months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 included $204,998 in sales of NTIC&#146;s Natur-Tec&#153;
products, which are part of NTIC&#146;s new biodegradable and compostable plastics
line. Beginning in fiscal 2008, NTIC began manufacturing, test marketing and
selling a broad range of bio-based and biodegradable (compostable) polymer
resin compounds and products under the Natur-Tec&#153; brand. In recent years, a
combination of market drivers, such as higher petroleum prices, a desire to
reduce dependence on foreign oil, increased environmental awareness at the
consumer level and favorable regulations banning the use of regular plastics,
have led to widespread interest in sustainable, renewable resource-based and
compostable alternatives to traditional plastics.&#160; Natur-Tec&#153; bio-based and biodegradable
plastics are manufactured using NTIC&#146;s patented and/or proprietary technologies
and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics. The
Natur-Tec&#153; bioplastics portfolio spans flexible film, foam, rigid injection
molded materials and engineered plastics. Natur-Tec&#153; biodegradable and
compostable finished products include shopping and grocery bags, lawn and leaf
bags, can liners, pet waste collection bags, cutlery, packaging foam and coated
paper products and are engineered to be fully biodegradable in a composting
environment. Unlike competing plastic products claiming to be &#147;degradable&#148; or &#147;oxo-degradable&#148;
that only break down into smaller plastic fragments, Natur-Tec&#153; products are
designed to completely biodegrade within 180 days in accordance with the ASTM
D6400 standard for compostable plastics and are certified 100 percent
biodegradable and compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC participates, either directly
or indirectly through holding companies, in 29 corporate joint venture
arrangements in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle
East.&#160; Each of these joint ventures
generally manufactures, markets and sells finished products in the geographic
territory that it is assigned.&#160; NTIC&#146;s
joint venture partners are knowledgeable in the applicable environmental,
labor, tax and other requisite regulations and laws of the respective foreign
countries in which they operate, as well as the local customs and business
practices.&#160; While most of NTIC&#146;s joint
ventures currently sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products and custom
packaging systems, NTIC also has joint ventures that manufacture, market and
sell or intend to manufacture, market or sell bio-based additives with both
industrial and personal care applications, machinery that converts waste
plastics into diesel, gasoline and mid-distillates, and electronic sensing
instruments. NTIC categorizes its joint ventures into two principal areas:
industrial chemical and non-industrial chemical.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In an effort to increase net sales, NTIC is in the
process of expanding its product line to include biodegradable and compostable
plastics and machinery that converts waste plastics into diesel, gasoline and
mid-distillates and the application of its corrosion inhibiting technology into
the oil and gas industry.&#160; During fiscal 2008, NTIC expects to invest an
aggregate of $2,800,000 to $3,100,000 in additional research and development
and marketing efforts and resources into these emerging businesses, product
lines and markets.&#160; &#160;During the first nine months of fiscal 2008,
NTIC invested $2,258,931 in additional research and development and marketing efforts
and resources into these emerging businesses, product lines and markets.&#160; These costs are included in expenses incurred
in support of joint ventures.&#160; Although NTIC recognized $204,998 in sales of
Natur-Tec&#153; for the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008, no assurance can be
provided that such new businesses will be successful or that NTIC will be
successful in obtaining additional revenue.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s consolidated net sales in North
America decreased 26.3% during the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared
to the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2007, primarily as a result of the
anticipated loss of its React-NTI, LLC subsidiary&#146;s most significant customer,
partially offset by an increase in demand for NTIC&#146;s Zerust&#174; products and sales
of its new Natur-Tec&#153; products.&#160; As
previously disclosed by NTIC, the sales of React-NTI included in NTIC&#146;s
consolidated net sales historically have consisted almost entirely of sales by
React Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of React-NTI, of proprietary ink additives
to one customer.&#160; During fourth quarter
of fiscal 2007, this single customer notified React Inc. of the customer&#146;s
intent to purchase React&#146;s remaining inventory of ink additives, but that after
such inventory was depleted, the customer would not place any future orders
with React Inc.&#160; React-NTI had
consolidated sales of $291,668 in the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008
compared to sales of $4,076,784 in the nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2007.&#160;&#160; The vast majority of such sales
by React-NTI were from React Inc., which had sales of $248,160 during the nine
months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to sales of $4,025,160 during the nine
months ended May&nbsp;31, 2007.&#160; NTIC
anticipates React Inc. will have no additional sales after the nine months
ended May&nbsp;31, 2008.&#160; Accordingly,
the loss of React&#146;s sole customer has had and is expected to continue to have a
material adverse impact on NTIC&#146;s consolidated net sales.&#160; However, since the profit on React&#146;s sales of
the ink additives to this customer was extremely small, the effect on NTIC&#146;s
net income during the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 was not material and
NTIC does not expect that the anticipated continued decrease in net sales by
React will have a material adverse effect on NTIC&#146;s future consolidated net
income.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Despite the decrease in NTIC&#146;s
consolidated net sales in North America, sales of NTIC&#146;s rust and corrosion
inhibiting products in North America increased slightly during the nine months
ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007.&#160; Net sales of NTIC&#146;s Zerust&#174; products
increased 2.2% or $188,213 to $9,021,496 during the nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2008 compared to $8,833,283 during the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2007.
Additionally, NTIC&#146;s consolidated net sales in North America during the nine
months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 included $204,998 from sales of NTIC&#146;s
Natur-Tec&#153; products.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s international business has
expanded significantly during the past several fiscal years.&#160; Total net sales of all of NTIC&#146;s joint
ventures increased 34.8% to $79,893,753 during the nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2008 compared to $59,265,028 during the nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2007.&#160; The profits of NTIC&#146;s corporate
joint ventures are shared, however, by the respective corporate joint venture
owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.&#160; In addition, NTIC&#146;s receipt of funds as a
result of sales by its joint ventures is dependent upon NTIC&#146;s receipt of
dividend distributions from the joint ventures and NTIC&#146;s receipt of fees for
technical and other support services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures
based on the revenues of the joint ventures.&#160;
NTIC typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and thus
does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether and how much
dividends should be paid in any given year. NTIC&#146;s income from its corporate
joint ventures and holding companies increased 87.1% to $3,880,352 for the nine
months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to $2,073,994 for the nine months ended
May&nbsp;31, 2007.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC sold its 50% ownership
interest in its industrial chemical joint venture in Austria during the nine
months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 for $364,000.&#160;
NTIC&#146;s industrial chemical joint venture in Germany purchased NTIC&#146;s 50%
Austrian joint venture interest and has consolidated the joint venture into its
existing business.&#160; NTIC&#146;s German joint
venture will service the territory and customers of the former Austrian venture
in addition to its own territory and customers.&#160;
NTIC recorded a gain on the sale of its Austrian joint venture ownership
interest of $172,767, as NTIC determined that its interest in the Austrian
joint venture entity was non-controlling.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cost of goods sold as a percentage
of net sales decreased to 60.6% for the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008
compared to 64.1% for the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2007 primarily as a
result of the significant decrease of React Inc. sales during the nine months
ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to the same period during fiscal</font> 2007, which sales were sold at lower margins than NTIC&#146;s Zerust&#174; and Natur-Tec&#153;
products.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net income increased 1.9% to
$2,106,034, or $0.56 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2008 compared to $2,066,227, or $0.56 per diluted common share, for the nine
months ended May&nbsp;31, 2007.&#160; Net
income for the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2007 included the impact of a
one-time gain on sale of assets of $724,495 and thus excluding the impact of
the one-time gain, the percentage increase in net income for the nine months
ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to the same period in during fiscal 2007 would
have been significantly higher.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s working capital was
$5,398,182 at May&nbsp;31, 2008, including $418,994 in cash and cash
equivalents.&#160; As of May&nbsp;31, 2008,
NTIC did not have any borrowings under its $2,300,000 demand line of credit.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC elected not to pay a cash
dividend to its stockholders in fiscal 2007 or thus far in fiscal 2008 in order
to preserve cash and make investments in future operations.&#160; NTIC expects to meet its future liquidity requirements
during at least the next 12 months by using its existing cash and cash
equivalents, forecasted cash flows from future operations, anticipated
distributions of earnings and technical assistance fees to NTIC from its joint
venture investments and funds available through existing or anticipated
financing arrangements.&#160; </font>In order to take advantage of new product and
market opportunities to expand its business and increase its revenues, NTIC may
decide to finance such opportunities by borrowing under its line of credit or
raising additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities.</p>

NTIC&#146;s net sales originating in the
United States decreased during the three and nine months ended May&nbsp;31,
2008 compared to the same respective periods in fiscal 2007 primarily as a
result of the loss of the principal customer of React Inc., partially offset by a slight increase in
demand for Zerust&#174; products sold to existing and new customers and sales of Natur-Tec&#153; products in the fiscal 2008 periods.</p>

as a percentage of net sales for the three and nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008, compared to the same
respective periods in fiscal 2007 primarily as
a result of the significant decrease in React Inc. sales which were sold at significantly lower margins than NTIC&#146;s

offset by a decrease in insurance expense of $40,000.&#160; The increase for the three-month

earned the payments received during that period.&#160; The next corporate joint venture conference
is scheduled to be held in the summer of 2009 or 2010.&#160; There was $264,000 of deferred income
recorded within other accrued liabilities at </font>May&nbsp;31, 2008</font> related to this future conference.&#160; The costs associated with these joint venture

corporate joint ventures and the holding companies of $1,412,582 and $3,837,266
for the three and nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to $1,161,702

regarding the establishment of new joint ventures, registration and promotion

incurred relating to NTIC&#146;s corporate joint ventures and holding companies for
the three months ended May&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to the same period in fiscal
2007 were attributable to an increase in (i)&nbsp;expenses related to employee
wages of $105,000, (ii)&nbsp;travel and related expenses of $28,000, (iv)&nbsp;consulting
expense of $32,000 and (v)&nbsp;miscellaneous expenses of $60,000. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in legal expense of $24,000.&#160; The increase for the nine months ended
May&nbsp;31, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007 was negligible. As a percentage of net sales, direct
expenses incurred relating to NTIC&#146;s corporate joint ventures and holding

Agreement with National City Bank pursuant to which NTIC&#146;s demand line of

was terminated.&#160; Advances made under the

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC believes that a combination of its existing
cash and cash equivalents, forecasted cash flows from future operations,
anticipated distributions of earnings and technical assistance fees to NTIC
from its joint venture investments and funds available through existing or
anticipated financing arrangements, will continue to be adequate to fund its
existing operations, capital expenditures, debt repayments and any stock
repurchases for at least the next 12 months.&#160;
In an effort to increase net sales, NTIC is in the process of expanding
its product line to include biodegradable and compostable plastics and
machinery that converts waste plastics into diesel, gasoline and
mid-distillates and the application of its corrosion inhibiting technology into
the oil and gas industry.&#160; During the
remainder of fiscal 2008, NTIC expects to invest additional research and
development and marketing efforts and resources into these emerging businesses,
product lines and markets.&#160; During the
first nine months of fiscal 2008, NTIC invested $2,258,931 in additional
research and development and marketing efforts and resources into these
emerging businesses, product lines and markets.&#160;
In order to take advantage of such new product and market opportunities
to expand its business and increase its revenues, NTIC may decide to finance
such opportunities by borrowing under its line of credit or raising additional
financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities.&#160; There is no assurance that any financing
transaction will be available on terms acceptable to NTIC or at all, or that
any financing transaction will not be dilutive to NTIC&#146;s current stockholders.</font></p>

unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often
referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have

acquired a one-third ownership of Omni-Northern Ltd., which owns and operates a
rental property located at 23205 Mercantile Road, Beachwood, Ohio.&#160; The property has an approximate value of
$2,205,000, based upon the cash-to-mortgage acquisition price of the property
paid in fiscal 2000.&nbsp; NTIC has guaranteed up to $329,082 of Omni-Northern

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate
risk arising from its investments in its foreign corporate joint ventures and
holding companies since NTIC&#146;s fees for technical support and other services
and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign
currencies.&nbsp; NTIC&#146;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the
Japanese yen, Korean won and the English pound against the U.S. dollar.&nbsp;
NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.&nbsp;
Since NTIC&#146;s investments in its corporate joint ventures and holding companies
are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency
exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment
and would not change the equity in income of joint ventures and holding
companies reflected in NTIC&#146;s consolidated statement of income.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s demand line of credit bears interest at a

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The preparation of NTIC&#146;s consolidated financial
statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Securities and Exchange
Commission has defined a company&#146;s most critical accounting policies as those
that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results
of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and
subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of
matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, NTIC has
identified the following critical accounting policies. Although NTIC believes
that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon
information available when they are made. Actual results may differ
significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s investments in corporate joint ventures are
accounted for using the equity method, except for React-NTI LLC which has been
fully consolidated, due to the adoption of FIN 46R.&#160; Periodically, NTIC evaluates the investments
for any impairment and assesses the future cash flow projections to determine
if there are any going concern issues.&#160;
If an investment were determined to be impaired, then a reserve would be
created to reflect the impairment on the financial results of NTIC.&#160; NTIC&#146;s evaluation of its investments in
corporate joint ventures requires NTIC to make assumptions about future cash
flows of its corporate joint ventures.&#160;
These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may
differ from assumed or estimated amounts.&#160;
NTIC&#146;s investments in corporate joint ventures were $16,193,141 and
$13,602,842 as of May&nbsp;31, 2008 and August&nbsp;31, 2007, respectively.</font></p>

allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, NTIC prepares an analysis of its
ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an
allowance estimate for doubtful accounts.&#160;
In doing so, NTIC evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection </font></p>

customers and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, NTIC establishes a
reserve for specific accounts and notes receivable that it believes are
uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables not
specifically known.&#160; Deterioration in the
financial condition of any key customer or a significant slowdown in the
economy could have a material negative impact on NTIC&#146;s ability to collect a
portion or all of the accounts and notes receivable. NTIC believes that an
analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection
problems provide NTIC with sufficient information to establish a reasonable
estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. However, since NTIC cannot
predict with certainty future changes in the financial stability of its
customers, NTIC&#146;s actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ
from its estimates. In the event NTIC determined that a smaller or larger
uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, NTIC would record a credit or
charge to selling expense in the period that it made such a determination. Accounts
receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of
$20,000 and $30,000 at May&nbsp;31, 2008 and August&nbsp;31, 2007,
respectively.</font></p>

FAS 123(R)&nbsp;requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based
payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized
in financial statements.&nbsp; That cost will be measured based on the fair
value of the equity or liability instruments issued.&nbsp; FAS 123(R)&nbsp;covers
a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options,
restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and
employee share purchase plans.&nbsp; FAS 123(R)&nbsp;is a replacement of FASB

entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize
the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the
award.&nbsp; FAS 123(R)&nbsp;permits entities to use any option-pricing model

only 50% or less of its joint venture entities, NTIC does not control the
decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and how much in

Thus, NTIC cannot guarantee that any of its joint ventures will pay

normal course of business since NTIC&#146;s fees for technical support and other

exchange rates.&#160; NTIC&#146;s principal
exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese yen, Korean won and the
English pound against the U.S. dollar.&nbsp; NTIC does not hedge against its
foreign currency exchange rate risk.&nbsp; Since NTIC&#146;s investments in its
corporate joint ventures and holding companies are accounted for using the

as of May&nbsp;31, 2005.&#160; As a result of
FIN 46R, NTIC consolidated React-NTI LLC, one of its corporate joint ventures

&nbsp;NTIC estimates that the costs for each of its corporate joint ventures to

that annual maintenance expenses would range from $50,000 to $100,000 per year

NTIC is currently involved in litigation against a competitor over this

successfully prosecuted infringement claims against other competitors and third
parties for their use of the color Yellow.&#160;
If NTIC were to lose this current or any future litigation over its
trademark for the color Yellow, NTIC could be in a more difficult position to

management, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes and other
regulated materials. These laws, rules&nbsp;and regulations may affect the way
NTIC conducts its operations, and the failure to comply with these regulations
could lead to fines and other penalties. Because NTIC owns and operates real
property, various environmental laws also may impose liability on NTIC for the
costs of cleaning up and responding to hazardous substances that may have been
released on NTIC&#146;s property, including releases unknown to NTIC. These
environmental laws and regulations also could require NTIC to pay for
environmental remediation and response costs at third-party locations where
NTIC disposed of or recycled hazardous substances. NTIC&#146;s future costs of
complying with the various environmental requirements, as they now exist or may

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC holds patents relating to various aspects of
its products and believes that proprietary technical know-how is critical to
many of its products.&nbsp; Proprietary rights relating to NTIC&#146;s products are
protected from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that they
are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are maintained in confidence as
trade secrets.&nbsp; NTIC cannot be certain that it will be issued any patents
from any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to NTIC or
that the claims allowed under any issued patents will be sufficiently broad to
protect its technology.&nbsp; In the absence of patent protection, NTIC may be
vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy NTIC&#146;s products or gain access to
its trade secrets and know-how.&nbsp; NTIC&#146;s competitors may initiate
litigation to challenge the validity of NTIC&#146;s patents, or they may use their
resources to design comparable products that do not infringe NTIC&#146;s
patents.&nbsp; NTIC may incur substantial costs if its competitors initiate
litigation to challenge the validity of its patents or if it initiates any
proceedings to protect its proprietary rights and if the outcome of any such
litigation is unfavorable to NTIC, its business and operating results could be
materially adversely affected.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, NTIC relies on trade secrets and
proprietary know-how that it seeks to protect, in part, by confidentiality
agreements with its employees, and consultants.&nbsp; These agreements may be
breached and NTIC may not have adequate remedies for any such breach.&nbsp;
Even if these confidentiality agreements are not breached, NTIC&#146;s trade secrets
may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">One of NTIC&#146;s strategies is to enhance its existing
products and develop and market new products that respond to customer
needs.&#160; NTIC may not be able to compete
effectively with its competitors unless NTIC can keep up with existing or new
products in the markets in which it competes.&#160;
Product development requires significant financial and other resources.
Although in the past NTIC has implemented lean manufacturing and other
productivity improvement initiatives to provide investment funding for new
products, NTIC cannot assure you that it will be able to continue to do so in
the future.&#160; Product improvements and new
product introductions also require significant planning, design, development
and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels and
NTIC may not be able to timely develop product improvements or new
products.&nbsp; NTIC&#146;s competitors&#146; new products may beat NTIC&#146;s products to
market, may be more effective or less expensive than NTIC&#146;s products or render
NTIC&#146;s products obsolete.&#160; Any new
products that NTIC may develop may not receive market acceptance or otherwise
generate any meaningful net sales or profits for NTIC relative to its
expectations, based on, among other things, existing and anticipated
investments in manufacturing capacity and commitments to fund advertising,
marketing, promotional programs, and research and development.</font></p>

NTIC often competes with numerous manufacturers, many of who have
substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than NTIC does.
As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater
resources to the promotion and sale of their products than NTIC can.&nbsp; In

reporting.&#160; NTIC will be performing the
system and process evaluation and testing (and any necessary remediation)
required to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation
requirements of Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.&#160; NTIC cannot be certain as to the timing of
completion of its evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact of
the same on its operations since there is presently no precedent available by

NTIC is not able to implement the requirements of Section&nbsp;404 in a timely
manner or with adequate compliance, NTIC may be subject to sanctions or
investigation by regulatory authorities, including the SEC or the NASDAQ Stock
Market.&#160; This type of action could
adversely affect NTIC&#146;s financial results or investors&#146; confidence in NTIC, and
could cause NTIC&#146;s stock price to decline.&#160;
In addition, the controls and procedures that NTIC may implement may not

amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules&nbsp;and

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.&#160; NTIC&#146;s management evaluated, with the
participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer,
the effectiveness of the design and operation of NTIC&#146;s disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered in this report.&#160; Based on that evaluation, NTIC&#146;s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that NTIC&#146;s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in NTIC&#146;s
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC&#146;s rules&nbsp;and forms, and that material
information relating to NTIC and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to
management, including NTIC&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, particularly during the period when NTIC&#146;s periodic reports are being

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s
management is aware, however, that there is a lack of segregation of duties due
to the small number of employees of NTIC dealing with general administrative
and financial matters. However, NTIC&#146;s management has decided that considering
the employees involved and the control procedures in place, risks associated
with such lack of segregation are minimal and the potential benefits of adding
employees to clearly segregate duties do not at this time justify the expenses
associated with such increases.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On June&nbsp;11,
2008, Northern Technologies International Corporation entered into an agreement
to settle a lawsuit brought by Evelyna Cantwell and Jack Cantwell,
individually, and also doing business as the principals of Byrd-Walsh
International, LLC, against NTIC and its former Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer and current Chairman Emeritus, Philip M. Lynch.&#160; The lawsuit sought unspecified injunctive
relief as well as compensatory and punitive damages in an unspecified amount
which, based on the allegations of the complaint, may have been claimed by
plaintiffs to be in an amount in excess of $45 million.&#160; Under the terms of the settlement agreement,
the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their claims with prejudice and to release
NTIC and Mr.&nbsp;Philip M. Lynch from any and all claims, in exchange for a
cash payment from NTIC of $41,340.</font></p>
