BUSINESS</b></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;">As previously disclosed,&nbsp;almost all historical sales&nbsp;by
React-NTI included in the Company&#146;s consolidated&nbsp;statement of operations were
derived from&nbsp;sales by React Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of React-NTI, of
proprietary ink additives to one customer. During fourth quarter of fiscal
2007, this&nbsp;customer&nbsp;notified React Inc.&nbsp;that no future orders
would be placed after current orders were received. As a result, the Company
anticipates no additional sales&nbsp;of&nbsp;proprietary ink additives.&nbsp;
Concurrent to the decline of its ink additive sales, React-NTI continued to
develop and pursue additional sales through&nbsp;a patented sintered metal mold
release agent sold under the brand name SERAVAT&#153; and&nbsp;renewable
resource-based personal care chemical additive&nbsp;under the brand
name&nbsp;Farona&#153;.&nbsp; In fiscal 2009, the Company implemented&nbsp;several
cost control and cash&nbsp;preservation measures.&nbsp; These measures included
elimination of further product and market&nbsp;development related to these
products.</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;">&nbsp;As a result of these changes, management determined that the fair
value of the React-NTI reporting unit was less than the carrying value. &#160;As a result, a loss on impairment of goodwill
and intangible assets of $554,000 was recorded for the three months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009&nbsp;to appropriately reflect the&nbsp;fair&nbsp;value of such
assets.&nbsp; In addition, during the three months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009, the Company derecognized previously recorded trade payables of $320,000
as a result of negotiations between the Company and its vendor.&#160; This amount is recorded in general and
administrative expenses in the Company&#146;s consolidated statement of
operations.&#160; At February&nbsp;28, 2009,
the remaining net book value of the&nbsp;assets and liabilities of React-NTI
and its subsidiaries approximates $0.</font></p>

have a term of five years and become exercisable over a three- or four-year
period beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the grant.&#160; Options are granted at per share exercise
prices equal to the market value of the Company&#146;s common stock on the date of
grant.&#160; To date, only stock options and
stock bonuses have been granted under the 2007 Plan.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Northern Technologies International
Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the &#147;ESPP&#148;) allows eligible employees
of the Company to acquire shares of the Company&#146;s common stock on favorable
terms through payroll deductions.&#160; The
maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company available for issuance
under the ESPP is 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the
ESPP.&#160; The ESPP provides for six-month
offering periods beginning on September&nbsp;1 and March&nbsp;1 of each
year.&#160; The purchase price of the shares
is 90% of the lower of the fair market value of common stock at the beginning
or end of the offering period.&#160; This
discount may not exceed the maximum discount rate permitted for plans of this
type under Section&nbsp;423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.&#160; The ESPP is compensatory for
financial reporting purposes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company granted options to purchase 30,000 and 37,140 shares of its
common stock during the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 and February&nbsp;29,
2008, respectively.&#160; The fair value of
option grants is determined at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the assumptions listed below.&nbsp; Based on these
valuations, the Company recognized compensation expense of $50,000 and $47,602
during the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 and February&nbsp;29, 2008,
respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period.&#160; The stock-based expense recorded reduced
after-tax net income per share by $0.01 for the six months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009 and February&nbsp;29, 2008.&#160; As of February&nbsp;28,
2009, the total compensation cost for non-vested options not yet recognized in
the Company&#146;s statements of operations was $188,592, net of estimated forfeitures.&#160; Additional stock-based compensation expense
of $50,248 is expected through the remainder of fiscal year 2009, and expense
of $90,424 and $47,837 is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2010 and
2011, respectively.&#160; Future option grants
will impact the compensation expense recognized.</font></p>

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. The following is a brief

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">In April&nbsp;2007,
REACT-NTI, LLC (&#147;React LLC&#148;), an entity 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, which was subsequently removed to the
Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York.&nbsp; The lawsuit
sought 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.&nbsp; The complaint alleged breach of the license agreement by React
LLC and sought 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.&nbsp; Shamrock further claimed lost profits with respect to sales
made by REACT LLC that were manufactured by parties other than Shamrock.&nbsp;
React LLC denied all of the claims of breach of the license agreement by it and
believed that damages caused by Shamrock&#146;s breach of the license agreement and
tortious conduct&nbsp;exceeded 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 was stayed so that the parties could attempt mediation.&nbsp; The
parties mediated for one day and were unsuccessful in resolving the
matter.&nbsp; The parties proceeded with discovery, exchanging answers to interrogatories
and documents, and the parties also obtained documents by subpoena from third
parties.&nbsp; With more complete information, the parties decided to dismiss
their respective claims without prejudice and return to mediation.&nbsp; A
mediation session was held on December&nbsp;4, 2008, and the parties continued
to negotiate through the mediator via telephone and email thereafter.&nbsp;</font>&nbsp;The
mediator ultimately determined that the parties were at an impasse, and the
parties have had no further communication.&nbsp; Because the mediation and negotiation process&nbsp;did not result in a final settlement, there
can be no permanent assurance at the present time that the matter will not
result in a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s business, financial
condition or results of operations at some point in the future.</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;">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="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; During the course of such audit,&nbsp;the IRS
took the position that the Company failed to withhold and assessed against the
Company approximately $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
commissions payments made to Inter Alia Holding Co. under that certain former
Manufacturer&#146;s Representative Agreement between the Company and Inter Alia,
which agreement has since been terminated.&nbsp; Inter Alia beneficially owns
approximately 22.7% of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock.&#160; G. Patrick Lynch, the Company&#146;s current
President and Chief Executive Officer, and three other members of the Lynch
family, are shareholders of Inter Alia.&nbsp; The Company disagreed with the
IRS&#146; position and appealed the matter.&nbsp; In February&nbsp;2009, the IRS
reversed its position and concluded its audit of the Company&#146;s U.S. federal
income tax returns for fiscal 2004 and 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Northern Technologies International
Corporation develops and markets proprietary environmentally beneficial
products and technical services either directly or via a network of joint
ventures and independent distributors in over 50 countries.&#160; NTIC&#146;s primary business is corrosion
prevention.&#160; However, NTIC has three
emerging businesses that have all generated revenue or are expected to generate
revenues in the near future (1)&nbsp;a product line of compounds and finished
products based on a portfolio of proprietary bio-plastic technologies marketed
under the Natur-Tec&#153; brand; (2)&nbsp;technology and equipment that convert
plastic waste into diesel, gasoline and heavy fractions, which is exclusively
licensed from Zbigniew Tokarz, the inventor of the technology and sold through
its joint venture Polymer Energy, LLC in North America and Asia; and (3)&nbsp;corrosion
prevention technology used in the oil and gas industry, which NTIC sells both
directly and through joint ventures.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&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;">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 and markets finished
products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned.&#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 NTIC&#146;s Natur-Tec&#153;
products, the Polymer Energy technology and equipment that converts plastic waste into diesel, gasoline,
and heavy fractions, and its corrosion
prevention technology used in the oil and gas industry.&#160; NTIC categorizes its joint
ventures into two principal areas: industrial chemical and non-industrial
chemical.&#160; </font>The profits of NTIC&#146;s
corporate joint ventures are shared by the respective corporate joint venture
owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.&#160; NTIC typically owns 50% of its joint venture
entities and thus does not control the decisions of these entities regarding
whether to pay dividends or how much to pay in dividends in any given year.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&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;">NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;and EXCOR<font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;rust and corrosion
inhibiting products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical,
mechanical, military and retail consumer markets for over 30 years.&#160; NTIC also offers worldwide on-site technical
consulting for rust and corrosion prevention issues.&#160; In North America, NTIC markets its technical
services and ZERUST<font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;products principally to industrial users by a
direct sales force and a network of independent distributors.&#160; NTIC&#146;s technical service consultants work
directly with the end users of NTIC&#146;s products to analyze their specific needs
and develop systems to meet their technical requirements.</p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to ZERUST</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;products and services, NTIC develops and in
the beginning of fiscal 2008 launched a portfolio of bio-based and/ or
biodegradable (compostable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under
the Natur-Tec&#153; brand.&#160; These products are
intended to reduce NTIC&#146;s customers&#146; carbon footprint and provide
environmentally sound disposal options.&#160;
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 regulations banning the use
of traditional, petroleum-based plastics, have led to interest in sustainable,
renewable resource-based and compostable alternatives to traditional
plastics.&#160; Natur-Tec&#153; bio-based and/ or
biodegradable plastics are manufactured using NTIC&#146;s patented and/or
proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional
petroleum-based plastics.&#160; The Natur-Tec&#153;
bioplastics portfolio includes flexible film, foam, rigid injection molded
materials and engineered plastics.&#160;

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s Polymer Energy LLC joint venture
licenses the technology from Zbigniew Tokarz, the inventor of the technology
and markets and sells a system that uses catalytic pyrolysis to efficiently
convert plastic waste (primarily polyolefins) into hydrocarbons (primarily a
mix of diesel, gasoline, and heavy fractions,). Each unit can process up to ten
tons of plastic waste per day, and the modular design allows for easily
scalable capacity. The Polymer Energy&#153; process can handle plastic that is
contaminated with other types of waste such as metals, glass, dirt and water
and the system can tolerate up to 25% of other waste in the input waste stream.
The output crude oil mix is high-grade and can be further processed in a
refinery or used as an input for co-generation of electricity. NTIC, through
Polymer Energy LLC, a joint venture in which NTIC has a 62.5% interest has an
exclusive license to market the technology in countries in Asia and North
America as per the current JV agreement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In January&nbsp;2009, NTIC announced the
signing of a multi-year contract between NTIC&#146;s Brazilian joint venture (Zerust
Prevencao de Corrosao S.A.) and Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) to install
and service proprietary corrosion protection technologies on the roofs of an
initial set of aboveground oil storage tanks at the Petrobras REDUC refinery in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.&#160; At the end of March&nbsp;2009,
NTIC announced that it has signed multiple research and development contracts
with Petrobras&#146; research and development group at the Leopoldo Am&#233;rico Miguez
de Mello Research&nbsp;&amp; Development Center (CENPES) pursuant to which the
parties will undertake a 20-month Petrobras funded effort to explore,
understand and resolve bottom plate corrosion issues in aboveground storage
tanks. A second 12-month Petrobras sponsored project also has started aimed at
field trials of certain pipeline protection technologies. These initiatives are
designed to help mitigate corrosion for critical oil and gas industry
infrastructure. The projects are directly between NTIC and Petrobras and will
primarily be supported by NTIC&#146;s R&amp;D facilities in Beachwood, Ohio. Any new
intellectual property generated will be jointly owned by NTIC and Petrobras
with NTIC having access to commercialization rights.&#160; In addition, NTIC is pursuing opportunities
to market NTIC&#146;s technology to other potential customers in the oil and gas
industry across several countries through its joint venture partners and other
strategic partners.&#160; NTIC believes the
sale of its new ZERUST&#174; products to customers in the oil and gas industry will
involve a long sales cycle, likely including a one- to two-year trial period
with each customer and a slow integration process thereafter.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Like many companies, NTIC&#146;s operating results
have been adversely affected by worldwide economic conditions, particularly
adverse conditions affecting the worldwide automobile industry.&#160; One of the primary markets for NTIC&#146;s rust
and corrosion inhibiting products has been the automotive industry.&#160; While the automotive industry until recently
had been growing worldwide, it has in the short term been contracting
significantly, and is not expected to improve in the short to medium term,
especially in light of the current worldwide economic conditions affecting that
industry.&#160; In particular, the U.S. auto
industry furloughs in the beginning of calendar 2009 adversely affected sales
of NTIC&#146;s ZERUST</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;products during NTIC&#146;s second fiscal quarter
2009.&#160; In response to such conditions,
NTIC implemented several cost reduction measures, which had some effect on NTIC&#146;s
operating results for its second fiscal quarter 2009, but are expected to have
a greater impact on NTIC&#146;s results of operations going forward, beginning in
its third fiscal quarter 2009.&#160; While
NTIC recognized a net loss during its three and six months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009, due in part to loss on impairment of $554,000 relating to the React-NTI,
LLC business, NTIC believes its operating results from its ZERUST<font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;business will improve during third fiscal
quarter 2009.</p>

decreased 19.9% during the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 compared to
the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008 primarily as a result of </font>decreased demand for NTIC&#146;s ZERUST</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;products and
the elimination of the React Inc. sales, partially offset by sales of NTIC&#146;s
new Natur-Tec&#153; products.&#160; During
the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009, 90.2% of NTIC&#146;s consolidated net

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">products decreased 23.0% to $4,512,380 during the six
months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 compared to $5,860,290 during the six
months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&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;">During the six months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009, 9.7% of NTIC&#146;s North American consolidated net sales were derived from
the sales of Natur-Tec&#153; products compared to 1.6% during the six months ended February&nbsp;29,
2008.&#160; </font>Net sales of Nature-Tec&#153; products increased 372.2% to $485,009 during the six months
ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 compared to $102,708 during the six months ended February&nbsp;29,
2008. NTIC believes that its Natur-Tec&#153; business during second fiscal
quarter 2009 was adversely affected by the U.S. economic recession which NTIC
believes adversely affected the ability of its principal Natur-Tec&#153; distributor
to purchase and distribute Natur-Tec&#153; products from NTIC during second fiscal quarter
2009.&#160; NTIC believes that NTIC&#146;s Natur-Tec&#153; sales
will not increase significantly until the end of the third or beginning of NTIC&#146;s
fourth fiscal quarter 2009 primarily as a result of this significant customer.</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;">As previously disclosed,&nbsp;almost all historical
sales&nbsp;by React-NTI included in NTIC&#146;s consolidated&nbsp;statement of
operations&nbsp;were derived from&nbsp;sales by React Inc., a 100% owned
subsidiary of React-NTI, of proprietary ink additives to one customer.&nbsp;
During fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, this&nbsp;customer&nbsp;notified React
Inc.&nbsp;that no future orders would be placed after current orders were
received.&nbsp; As a result, NTIC anticipates no additional
sales&nbsp;of&nbsp;proprietary ink additives.&nbsp; Concurrent with the decline
of its ink additive sales, React-NTI continued to develop and pursue additional
sales through&nbsp;a patented sintered metal mold release agent sold under the
brand name SERAVAT&#153; and&nbsp;renewable resource-based personal care chemical
additive&nbsp;under the brand name&nbsp;Farona&#153;.&nbsp; In fiscal 2009, NTIC
implemented&nbsp;several cost control and cash&nbsp;preservation
measures.&nbsp; These measures included elimination of further product and
market&nbsp;development related to these products.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&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;">&nbsp;As a result of these changes, management
determined that the fair value of the React-NTI reporting unit was less than
the carrying value.&nbsp; As a result, a loss on impairment of goodwill and
long-lived assets of $554,000 was recorded for the three months ended&nbsp;February&nbsp;28,
2009&nbsp;to appropriately reflect the&nbsp;fair&nbsp;value of such
assets.&nbsp; </font>In
addition, during the three months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009, NTIC
derecognized previously recorded trade payables of $320,000 as a result of
negotiations between NTIC and its vendor.&#160;
This amount is recorded in general and administrative expenses in NTIC&#146;s
consolidated statement of operations.&#160; At February&nbsp;28, 2009, the remaining net book
value of the&nbsp;assets and liabilities of React-NTI and its subsidiaries
approximates $0.</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
increased to 68.9% in the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 as compared
to 59.3% for the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008 primarily as a result
of the significant increase </font>of
Natur-Tec&#153; products sales as a percentage of total sales during the six months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009 compared to the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008, which sales are
sold at lower margins than NTIC&#146;s ZERUST&#174; products.</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 December&nbsp;2008 and January&nbsp;2009,
NTIC implemented a number of cost cutting measures to help counter the negative
impact of the current worldwide economic crisis, especially with respect to its
effect on the worldwide automotive industry.&nbsp; NTIC reduced the base
salaries of its executive and other officers by approximately 15% on average,
by 10% for all other employees and suspended NTIC&#146;s matching of 401(k)&nbsp;contributions.&nbsp;
NTIC also implemented a hiring freeze and laid off 16% of its work force.&nbsp;
Furthermore, significant cost concessions were requested and obtained from all
of NTIC&#146;s major vendors and service providers.&nbsp; NTIC enacted other expense
control measures across all of its departments with the objective to conserve
cash and reduce expenses while protecting the essential sales and marketing
efforts of each business.&nbsp; Beginning in March&nbsp;2009, NTIC expects to
realize an approximate 30% reduction in its overall expenses as a result of
these cost cutting measures.</font></p>

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

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">Total net sales of all of NTIC&#146;s joint ventures
decreased 33.9% to $32,476,685 during the six months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009 compared to $49,091,121 during the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008
primarily as a result of </font>decreased
demand for ZERUST</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;products due to the global economic slowdown
and, to a lesser extent, the
foreign currency exchange rate of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies
in which NTIC&#146;s joint ventures conduct business.&#160; As a result of the decrease in
total net sales of NTIC&#146;s joint ventures, NTIC recognized a 35.8% decrease in
fee income for technical and support services and its equity in income of
corporate joint ventures and holding companies decreased 64.8% to $657,732
during the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 compared to $1,867,856
during the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008.&#160; NTIC incurs direct expenses related to its
corporate joint ventures and holding companies.&#160;
Such expenses include product and business development, consulting,
travel, technical and marketing services to existing joint ventures, legal fees
incurred in the establishment of new joint ventures, registration and promotion

incurred in connection with the filing of patent applications.&#160; NTIC incurred $2,495,062 in direct joint
venture expenses during the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 compared to
$2,424,684 during the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008, an increase of
2.9%.&#160; NTIC&#146;s total income from its
corporate joint ventures and holding companies decreased 96.2% to $101,245 for
the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 compared to income of $2,636,366
for the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008 primarily as a result of the
adverse worldwide economic situation.</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;">NTIC spent $1,417,295 in the six months ended February&nbsp;28,
2009 and $1,201,361 in the six months ended February&nbsp;29, 2008 in
connection with its research and development activities.&#160; NTIC anticipates that it will spend between $2,800,000
and $3,000,000 in total during fiscal 2009 on research and development
activities related to its new technologies.&#160;
These expenses are accounted for in the &#147;Expenses incurred in support of
corporate joint ventures&#148; section of NTIC&#146;s consolidated statements of
operations.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC&#146;s net income amounted to a
loss of ($1,500,805), or a loss of ($0.40) per diluted common share, for the
six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 compared to income of $1,317,866, or
$0.35 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February&nbsp;29,
2008.&#160; This decrease was primarily the
result of the decreased demand of NTIC&#146;s </font>ZERUST</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">&#174;</font>&#160;products in
the United States and internationally due to the global economic recession, and
to a lesser extent, the $554,000 loss on impairment relating to React-NTI.</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 $5,905,213 at February&nbsp;28,
2009, including $244,245 in cash and cash equivalents.&#160; As of February&nbsp;28, 2009, NTIC had
$599,000 of borrowings under its $2,300,000 demand line of credit.&#160; As of February&nbsp;28, 2009, an additional
$600,000 was committed under the demand line of credit to cover a letter of
credit.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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, distributions
of earnings and technical assistance fees to NTIC from its joint venture
investments and funds available through existing or anticipated financing
arrangements.&#160; In order to take advantage
of new product 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.</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 </font>receives fees for technical and other support
services it provides to its corporate joint ventures based on the revenues of
the individual corporate joint ventures.&#160;
NTIC recognized fee income for such support of $617,850 and $1,938,569
in the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009, respectively,
compared to $1,626,632 and $3,020,427 during the same respective periods in
fiscal 2008, a decrease of 62.0% and 35.8%, respectively.&#160; The decrease in fees for technical and other
support to its corporate joint ventures was due to the decrease in revenues
from the corporate joint ventures as a whole, as well as the foreign currency
exchange rate of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies in which NTIC&#146;s
joint ventures conduct business.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC sponsors a worldwide corporate joint
venture conference approximately every three to four years in which all of its
corporate joint ventures are invited to participate.&#160; NTIC defers a portion of its technical and other
support fees received from its corporate joint ventures in each accounting
period leading up to the next conference, reflecting that NTIC has not fully
earned the payments received during that period.&#160; The next corporate joint venture conference
is scheduled to be held in the summer of 2010.&#160;
There was no deferred income recorded within other accrued liabilities
during the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 related to this
future conference; however, $288,000 has been accrued over the past three
fiscal years.&#160; The costs associated with
these joint venture conferences are offset against the deferral as incurred,
generally in the period in which the conference is held and immediately before.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NTIC incurred direct expenses related to its corporate joint ventures
and the holding companies and new technologies of $1,317,028 and $2,495,062
during the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009, respectively,
compared to $1,185,509 and $2,424,684 during the same respective periods in
fiscal 2008, an increase of 41.9% and 18.0%, respectively.&#160; These increases were primarily attributable
to the $400,000 of impairment expenses associated with React-NTI and React Inc.

six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009, respectively, compared to $813,174 and
$1,867,856 during the same respective periods in fiscal 2008. </font>These decreases were due primarily to the
decrease in sales from NTIC&#146;s corporate joint ventures as a whole due to the global economic recession, as well as the foreign currency exchange rate
of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies in which NTIC&#146;s joint ventures
conduct business.</p>

$189,000 and $267,000 in the same respective periods in fiscal 2008.&#160; Income tax (benefit) expense was calculated
based on management&#146;s estimate of NTIC&#146;s annual effective income tax rate.&#160; NTIC&#146;s annual effective income tax rate
during the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2009 and February&nbsp;29,
2008 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to NTIC&#146;s equity in income
of corporate joint ventures being recognized based on after-tax earnings of
these entities.&#160; To the extent joint
ventures&#146; undistributed earnings are distributed to NTIC, it is not expected to
result in any material additional income tax liability after the application of
foreign tax credits.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;10, 2008, NTIC entered into a
Promissory Note Modification Agreement with National City Bank pursuant to
which NTIC&#146;s demand line of credit was increased to $2,300,000 and its
$1,500,000 revolving credit facility was terminated.&#160; Advances made under the demand line of credit
will be made at the sole discretion of National City Bank and will be due and
payable on demand.&#160; Outstanding amounts
under the demand line of credit bear interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR
plus 2.25%.&#160; As of February&nbsp;28,
2009, the interest rate was 2.61%.&#160;
Interest is payable in arrears on the 15th day of each month and on
demand.&#160; As of February&nbsp;28, 2009,
NTIC had $599,000 in borrowings under its $2,300,000 demand line of

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;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 continues to spend resources in
furtherance of its emerging businesses &#150; its biodegradable and compostable
plastics products marketed under the </font>Natur-Tec&#153; brand, its technology and machinery that
converts plastic waste into diesel, gasoline and heavy fractions and the
application of its corrosion inhibiting technology into the oil and gas
industry.&#160; During fiscal 2009, NTIC
expects to invest additional research and development and marketing efforts and
resources into these emerging businesses, product lines and markets.&nbsp; 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.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To finance the purchase of the real estate
and building for NTIC&#146;s current corporate headquarters, in September&nbsp;2006,
NTIC obtained a secured term loan in the principal amount of $1,275,000.&#160; The term loan matures on May&nbsp;1, 2011,
bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.01% and is payable in 59 monthly
installments equal to approximately $10,776 (inclusive of principal and
interest) commencing June&nbsp;1, 2006.&#160;
All of the remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest is due and
payable on the May&nbsp;1, 2011 maturity date.&#160;
The loan is secured by a first lien on the real estate and building.</font></p>

financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#146;s
foreign operations and investments in its foreign corporate joint ventures and
holding companies is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign
currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of
business.&#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.&#160; NTIC&#146;s fees for
technical support and other services and dividend distributions from these
foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies and thus fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in NTIC&#146;s reported net

Procedures</font></b></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;">NTIC maintains disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules&nbsp;13a-15(e)&nbsp;and 15d-15(e)&nbsp;under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to
reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed by NTIC in the
reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules&nbsp;and
forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#146;s
management, including NTIC&#146;s principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.&#160;
In designing and evaluating NTIC&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures,
NTIC recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives and NTIC necessarily is required to apply its judgment 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 prepared.</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;">NTIC&#146;s management is aware, however, that
there is a lack of segregation of certain duties due to the small number of
employees of NTIC dealing with general administrative and financial
matters.&#160; 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 insignificant and the
potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate such duties do not
at this time justify the expenses associated with such increases.</font></p>
