THE FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2010</font></b></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;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (January&nbsp;12, 2010)</font></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> &#150; Northern
Technologies International Corporation (NASDAQ: NTIC) today reported the Company&#146;s
financial results for the three months ended November&nbsp;30, 2009.</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&#146;s consolidated net sales
increased 43.0% to $2,711,402 during the three months ended November&nbsp;30,
2009 compared to $1,896,560 during the three months ended August&nbsp;31, 2009</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">.&#160; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales,
however, decreased 17.1% during the three months ended November&nbsp;30, 2009
as compared to the three months ended November&nbsp;30, 2008 as sales have not
yet completely rebounded to the levels seen prior to the start of the current
economic recession.</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;">Net income increased 3281% to
$435,705, or $0.10 per diluted common share, for the three months ended November&nbsp;30,
2009 compared to $12,885, or $0.00 per diluted common share, for the three
months ended November&nbsp;30, 2008.&#160;
This increase was primarily the result of increased income </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">from NTIC international corporate joint ventures and holding companies</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> as well as the cost control initiatives that NTIC initiated during second
quarter of fiscal 2009 and that remained in place through first quarter of
fiscal 2010</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">.</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&#146;s total income from the
Company&#146;s corporate joint ventures and holding companies increased 24.9% to
$1,001,263 for the three months ended November&nbsp;30, 2009 compared to
$801,451 for the three months ended November&nbsp;30, 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&#146;s working capital was $5,922,549
at November&nbsp;30, 2009, including $2,341,999 in cash and cash equivalents.</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;">G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive
Officer of NTIC said, &#147;The Company and its affiliates saw a significant and
welcome rebound in Q1 for our core business of Zerust&#174; corrosion inhibiting
packaging. Since these products protect the metal components later assembled
into cars, agricultural equipment and industrial machinery, we trust that this
is an indicator of a broader recovery in the global manufacturing sector.&#148;</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;">Lynch continued, &#147;We have also crossed several
significant milestones in the past few months with respect to the Company&#146;s
corrosion protection technologies and services targeted at the Oil </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&amp; Gas sector. At a special ceremony in December&nbsp;2009,
several members of NTIC&#146;s R&amp;D team received awards for their technological
innovations from the CEO of Petr&#243;leo Brasileiro S.A. &#150; &#147;Petrobras&#148; (NYSE: PBR)
in Brazil. Then, after several months of technical validation, in January&nbsp;2010,
IROMAD VZ agreed to assist NTIC in developing the market for Zerust&#174; Oil&nbsp;&amp;
Gas solutions in Venezuela. Also, NTIC&#146;s field trials with Petr&#243;leos Mexicanos &#147;PEMEX&#148;
in Mexico are scheduled to be completed by the end of&#160; March&nbsp;2010.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Our Natur-Tec&#174; team has added more than 20 distributors
over the past six months, and acceptance of our certified fully compostable and
biodegradable products has been excellent in all major West-Coast markets. That
said, Natur-Tec sales are still below our previous expectations due, in part,
to the fact that there is still a false belief in the general market that
conventional petroleum based plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene
can &#145;magically&#146; become biodegradable by including various additives during the
manufacturing process. NTIC is, consequently, diligently educating the market
as we continue to expand our sales efforts.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Finally, our Polymer Energy&#174; team has completed the
installation and commissioning of its 3</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">rd</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160;waste plastic
to hydrocarbon fuel conversion facility. The installation is located in the
resort town of Hua Hin, Thailand &#150; approximately 3 hours outside of Bangkok.&#148;</font></p>
