<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC) develops and markets proprietary
environmentally beneficial products and services in over 60 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures,
independent distributors and agents. NTIC&rsquo;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&reg;
brand. NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&reg; products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical,
military and retail consumer markets for over 40 years, and in recent years, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry.
NTIC also markets and sells a portfolio of biobased and compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resins and finished products
under the Natur-Tec&reg; brand. These products are intended to reduce NTIC&rsquo;s customers&rsquo; carbon footprint and provide
environmentally sound waste disposal options.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST&reg; rust and corrosion inhibiting products include plastic and paper
packaging, liquids and coatings, rust removers and cleaners, diffusers and also engineered solutions designed specifically for
the oil and gas industry. NTIC also offers worldwide on-site technical consulting for rust and corrosion prevention issues. NTIC&rsquo;s
technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST&reg; rust and corrosion inhibiting products
to analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their technical requirements. In North America, NTIC sells its ZERUST&reg;
corrosion prevention solutions through a direct sales force as well as a network of independent distributors and agents. Internationally,
NTIC sells its ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
(NTIC China), its majority-owned joint venture holding company for NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture investments in the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, its majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&ccedil;&atilde;o de Corros&atilde;o
S.A. (Zerust Brazil) and joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and Asia.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">One of NTIC&rsquo;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets
for its ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions. Consequently, for the past several years, NTIC has focused sales and marketing
efforts on the oil and gas industry, as the infrastructure that supports that industry is typically constructed using metals that
are highly susceptible to corrosion. NTIC believes that its ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions will minimize maintenance
downtime on critical oil and gas industry infrastructure, extend the life of such infrastructure and reduce the risk of environmental
pollution due to corrosion leaks.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC markets and sells its ZERUST&reg; rust and corrosion prevention solutions to customers
in the oil and gas industry across several countries either directly, through its subsidiaries or through its joint venture partners
and other strategic partners. The sale of ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions to customers in the oil and gas industry typically
involves a long sales cycle, often including a one- to multi-year trial period with each customer and a slow integration process
thereafter.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Natur-Tec&reg; biobased and compostable plastics are manufactured using NTIC&rsquo;s
patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics. The Natur-Tec&reg;
biopolymer resin compound portfolio includes formulations that have been optimized for a variety of applications including blown-film
extrusion, extrusion coating, injection molding, and engineered plastics. These resins are fully biodegradable in a composting
environment and are currently being used to produce finished products including can liners, shopping and grocery bags, lawn and
leaf bags, pet waste collection bags, cutlery, packaging foam and coated paper products. In North America, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec&reg;
resins and finished products primarily through a network of regional and national distributors as well as independent agents. NTIC
continues to see significant opportunities for finished bioplastic products and, therefore, continues to strengthen and expand
its North American distribution network for finished Natur-Tec&reg; bioplastic products. Internationally, NTIC sells its Natur-Tec&reg;
resins and finished products both directly and through its majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited
(Natur-Tec India), and through certain joint ventures. In November 2014, NTIC entered into an agreement with NatureWorks LLC for
joint marketing and sales of Ingeo&reg; based packaging solutions to customers in India. With recent Indian government mandates
banning use of non-biodegradable plastics in certain types of food and consumer packaging, NTIC expects the market in India for
bioplastic packaging solutions to grow substantially.</P>

its ZERUST&reg; products and services in China through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), and has
terminated its joint venture agreements with Tianjin Zerust Anticorrosion Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Zerust).&nbsp; NTIC and NTI Asean
LLC have filed a lawsuit against Mr. Tao Meng, a Chinese national and the former joint venture entity&rsquo;s other shareholder,
and his spouse in the Chinese court of Tianjin, seeking, among other things, an orderly liquidation of Tianjin Zerust.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC indirectly has a 30% ownership interest in Tianjin Zerust through its 60% owned
holding company subsidiary, NTI Asean LLC.&nbsp; Commencing during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated
financial statements include the financial results of NTIC China.&nbsp; NTIC anticipates that it may take several quarters to transition
many of the previous customers of Tianjin Zerust to NTIC China and no assurance can be provided that NTIC China will be able to
achieve the net sales and income levels previously achieved by Tianjin Zerust.&nbsp;&nbsp; For fiscal 2014, Tianjin Zerust had
net sales of $15.9 million and net income of $1.3 million.&nbsp; (The operating income of the joint venture before paying royalties
in an aggregate amount of $4.2 million to all shareholders was over $5.5 million) NTIC&rsquo;s indirect ownership of Tianjin Zerust
is 30%.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2015, NTIC incurred approximately $1,640,000 in start-up expenses related
either directly or indirectly to the establishment of NTIC China, the termination of the joint venture agreements with Tianjin
Zerust, the pending litigation against Mr. Tao Meng and his spouse and Cortec Corporation, and the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin
Zerust. These expenses are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses and expenses incurred in support of joint ventures
on the consolidated statements of operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC expects its operating results may be volatile over the next few quarters as a result
of NTIC&rsquo;s Chinese operations.&nbsp; In particular, because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin
Zerust, it is possible that receipt of future financial and other information from Tianjin Zerust may impact the realization of
NTIC&rsquo;s investment in and realization of a receivable from Tianjin Zerust. The last time NTIC received financial information
from Tianjin Zerust was through November 2014.&nbsp; NTIC,&nbsp;as of August 31, 2015, does not believe there are any triggering
events that would require an impairment test.&nbsp; NTIC&rsquo;s current net investment is approximately $1.1 million, which is
60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of August 31, 2015.&nbsp; NTIC will continue to evaluate the realization
of this asset on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC participates in 19 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and
Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned.
While most of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also
sell NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec&reg; resin compounds. NTIC has historically funded its investments in joint ventures with cash generated
from operations.</P>

that NTIC provides to its joint ventures, based primarily on the net sales of the individual joint ventures, and NTIC&rsquo;s receipt
of dividend distributions from the joint ventures. The fees for services provided to joint ventures are determined based on either
a flat fee or a percentage of sales depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture in
Germany (EXCOR), NTIC recognizes an agreed upon quarterly fee for such services. NTIC recognizes equity income from its joint ventures
based on the overall profitability of its joint ventures. Such profitability is subject to variability from quarter to quarter
which, in turn, subjects NTIC&rsquo;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. The profits of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures
are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. NTIC typically directly
or indirectly owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture entities and thus does not control the decisions of these entities
regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in a given year. The payment of a dividend by an entity
is determined by a joint vote of the owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC.</P>

an increase of 9.2% over such sales in fiscal 2014. Corrosion not only damages the appearance of metal products and components

and the deterioration by oxidation of nonferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.).&nbsp; NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>

for the Oil and Gas Industry</I>.&nbsp; NTIC has developed proprietary engineered corrosion inhibiting solutions specifically for
the mitigation of corrosion of the types of capital assets used in the petroleum and chemical process industries and has targeted
the sale of these ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> corrosion solutions to potential customers in the oil and gas industry.&nbsp;&nbsp; NTIC&rsquo;s
consolidated net sales in fiscal 2015 included $1,886,814 in sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry, an increase of
10.9% over such sales in fiscal 2014. The infrastructure that supports the oil and gas industry is predominantly constructed using
metals that are highly susceptible to corrosion.&nbsp; The industrial environment at these facilities usually contains compounds,
including sulfides and chlorides, which cause aggressive corrosion.&nbsp; This problem affects pipelines, petroleum storage tanks,
spare parts in long-term storage, processing and other critical equipment.&nbsp;In addition to the costs associated with the replacement
of parts and structures, maintenance and repairs, and product loss, there are significant economic losses associated with critical
infrastructure down for repair and maintenance.&nbsp; Furthermore, there are also considerable health, safety and environmental
risks caused by corrosion that can greatly increase economic losses.&nbsp; NTIC believes that its ZERUST&reg; oil and gas corrosion
prevention solutions minimize maintenance downtime on critical oil and gas industry infrastructure, extend the life of such infrastructure
and reduce the risk of environmental pollution due to leaks caused by corrosion.&nbsp;</P>

tank roofs by delivering proprietary inhibitor formulations into the vapor space between the surface of the product and the tank
roof.&nbsp; Certain grades of oil contain sulphur and emit corrosive acid gas vapors that destroy the internal surfaces of aboveground
storage tank roofs and their support structures above the stored product.&nbsp; Aggressive pitting and crevice corrosion create
holes in tank roofs that cause unsafe operating conditions and environmental problems.&nbsp; Internal tank coatings decrease surface
corrosion but have proven to be ineffective in preventing dangerous pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in the interstitial
spaces between the roof and support structures.&nbsp; The ZERUST&reg; ReCAST-R solution is designed to extend the service life
of a single tank roof significantly by forming a protective inhibitor barrier which separates the corrosive environment from the
metallic surface of the tank roof support structures and is designed to prevent corrosion in highly aggressive environments.&nbsp;
Each system is tailored to a customer&rsquo;s requirements, depending upon specific environmental conditions, product stored, tank
diameter and type of metal and can be applied on both new and existing tank roofs.</P>

tanks through a variety of unique and highly effective delivery systems designed by the Zerust Oil &amp; Gas team to deliver proprietary
Zerion FVS corrosion inhibitor to tank bottom spaces that are susceptible to significant corrosion. Tank bottoms are typically
made of steel plates which are in direct contact with the foundation surface that could be concrete, sand/soil and asphalt/bitumen.
It is typically not possible to protect this underside surface with traditional coatings. Cathodic protection (CP) systems can
provide some protection, but these have significant limitations that cause failures well ahead of the expected service life of
a tank. The ZERUST&reg; solutions provide effective protection even to areas that cannot be addressed with CP. This is an engineered
solution where each system is tailored to a customer&rsquo;s requirements depending on the tank foundation design, specific environmental

NTIC manufactures and sells a range of biobased and compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resins and finished products under
the Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> brand. NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales in fiscal 2015 included $4,279,785 in sales of Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
resins and finished products, an increase of 43.6% over such sales in fiscal 2014.&nbsp; Market drivers such as volatile petroleum
prices, reduced dependence on foreign oil, reduced carbon footprints, and environmentally responsible end-of-life solutions increased
interest in using sustainable, biobased and renewable plant-biomass resources for the manufacture of plastics and industrial products.
Plastics that are fully biodegradable in composting or anaerobic digestor systems allow the safe and effective conversion of these
plastics to carbon dioxide, water and fertilizer at the end of their service life. Increased environmental and sustainability awareness
at the corporate and consumer level, improved technical properties and product functionality, as well as recent foreign, state
and local governmental regulations banning the use of traditional, petroleum-based plastics or mandating the use of certain biodegradable
or compostable products, have also fueled this interest in biobased and biodegradable-compostable plastics.&nbsp; The term &ldquo;bio-plastics&rdquo;
encompasses a broad category of plastics that are either bio-based, which means derived from renewable resources such as corn or
cellulosic/plant material or blends thereof, or are engineered to be fully compostable, or both.&nbsp;</P>

technologies and changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than
NTIC. With respect to its rust and corrosion inhibiting products, NTIC competes on the basis of product innovation, quality and
reliability, product support, customer service, reputation as well as price. Some of NTIC&rsquo;s competitors may have achieved
significant market acceptance of their competing products and brand recognition. NTIC, however, believes it has an advantage over
most of its competitors as a result of NTIC&rsquo;s technical innovation and its value added service. NTIC attempts to provide
its customers with the highest level of technical service and applications engineering in addition to ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> rust
and corrosion inhibiting products. Nonetheless, the commoditization of certain of NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> rust and
corrosion inhibiting products have led and may continue to lead to lower prices and lower margins on such products. In addition,
because certain barriers to entry are low, additional competitors, including plastic extrusion companies, may emerge, which likely
would lead to the further commoditization of NTIC&rsquo;s rust and corrosion inhibiting products.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">With respect to NTIC&rsquo;s corrosion prevention solutions for use in the oil and gas
industry, NTIC&rsquo;s primary barrier to entry is a combination of conservatism, complacency, confidence in old approaches as
well as the complexity of the buying organizations. Some of NTIC&rsquo;s competitors with respect to its traditional ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
rust and corrosion inhibiting products also compete in the oil and gas industry. NTIC also faces competition from new suppliers
who provide alternative approaches to corrosion prevention, some of which have a significant market presence and more years of
experience and credibility in the oil and gas industry. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) suppliers to the oil and gas industry
present a new market vertical for NTIC&rsquo;s traditional industrial ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products.</P>

</I></B>With respect to NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and finished products, NTIC competes with several
established companies that have been producing and selling similar products for a significantly longer time period, and have significantly
more sales, more extensive and effective distribution networks and better brand recognition than NTIC.&nbsp; Most of these companies
also have substantially more financial and other resources than NTIC.&nbsp; NTIC competes on the basis of performance, brand awareness,
distribution network, product availability, product offering, shelf life, place of manufacture and price.&nbsp; Because of price
competition, NTIC&rsquo;s margins on its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and finished products are lower than its margins
on its ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> corrosion prevention solutions.&nbsp; NTIC also could face supply constraints for the base resins
used to manufacture NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and finished products since there are a limited number
of suppliers of such base resins and limited capacity for their production.</P>

a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research contract worth $70,000 to develop non-plastic marine biodegradable waste bags for
the U.S. Navy.&nbsp; NTIC collaborated with the U.S. Army Natick labs and Michigan State University (MSU) on this project.&nbsp;
In November 2011, NTIC was awarded a Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research Phase II grant of $500,000 for the
ongoing development and commercialization of biobased and marine biodegradable non-plastic bags for the U.S. Navy.&nbsp; The Phase
II grant work continued during fiscal 2014 and was completed in April 2014 by supplying the NAVSUP office with marine biodegradable
coated paper bags for evaluation. The NAVSUP office was unable to evaluate the bags due to lack of funding and later closed out
the project due to cost and commercialization reasons. They identified this would currently be a niche product and would like to
reevaluate once the technology was mature and commercialized in more markets. MSU is currently continuing research on the vegetable
oil coating technology for usage in other applications.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The following are the most significant factors known to NTIC that could materially adversely
affect its business, operating results or financial condition.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>The termination of NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture agreements with and the anticipated
liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and the formation and establishment of NTIC China have had and could continue to have a material
adverse effect on NTIC&rsquo;s operating results.</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Effective as of December 31, 2014, NTIC terminated its joint venture agreements with
Tianjin Zerust, initiated the process to liquidate the joint venture entity and established a wholly-owned subsidiary to conduct
business in China. Commencing during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements include
the financial results of NTIC China. Tianjin Zerust was individually significant to NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated assets and income.
Accordingly, the termination of NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture agreements with and the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust adversely
affected NTIC&rsquo;s operating results, including in particular, its equity in income, fee income for services provided to joint
ventures and operating expenses, during fiscal 2015 since NTIC accounted for its investment in Tianjin Zerust in NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated
financial statements utilizing the equity method of accounting. Of the total equity in income from joint ventures of $5,936,565
during fiscal 2015 and $5,920,603 during fiscal 2014, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $132,824 and $626,763 attributable
to Tianjin Zerust, respectively. Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $5,715,491 during fiscal 2015
and $8,142,863 during fiscal 2014, $494,080 and $2,118,018 were attributable to Tianjin Zerust.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC anticipates that it may take some time to transition the previous customers of Tianjin
Zerust to NTIC China and no assurance can be provided that NTIC China will be able to achieve the net sales and income levels previously
achieved by Tianjin Zerust. NTIC has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant operating expenses associated with
NTIC China and the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and expects that NTIC&rsquo;s operating results may be volatile over
the next several quarters. This is true especially since NTIC has commenced litigation against Mr. Tao Meng, Tianjin Zerust&rsquo;s
other shareholder, and his spouse in order to force the liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and has commenced litigation against Cortec
Corporation alleging, among other things, that Cortec Corporation aided and abetted breaches of duties and contractual commitments
owed to NTIC and NTI Asean related to Tianjin Zerust. During fiscal 2015, NTIC incurred approximately $1,642,258 in start-up expenses
related either directly or indirectly to the establishment of NTIC China, the termination of the joint venture agreements with
Tianjin Zerust, the pending litigation against Mr. Tao Meng and his spouse and Cortec Corporation, and the anticipated liquidation
of Tianjin Zerust. The start-up expenses are inclusive of the losses incurred by the subsidiary of $1,042,258 during the same period.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC expects its operating results may be volatile over the next few quarters as a result
of NTIC&rsquo;s Chinese operations.&nbsp; In particular, because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin
Zerust, it is possible that receipt of future financial and other information from Tianjin Zerust may impact the realization of
NTIC&rsquo;s investment in and realization of a receivable from Tianjin Zerust. The last time NTIC received financial information
from Tianjin Zerust was through November 2014.&nbsp; NTIC,&nbsp;as of August 31, 2015, does not believe there are any triggering
events that would require an impairment test.&nbsp; NTIC&rsquo;s current net investment is approximately $1.1 million, which is
60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of August 31, 2015.&nbsp; NTIC will continue to evaluate the realization
of this asset on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>NTIC&rsquo;s pending litigation is expensive and may have an adverse effect on
NTIC&rsquo;s business and operating results.</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2015, NTIC commenced litigation against Mr. Tao Meng, Tianjin Zerust&rsquo;s
other shareholder, and his spouse in order to force the liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and against Cortec Corporation alleging,
among other things, that Cortec Corporation aided and abetted breaches of duties and contractual commitments owed to NTIC and NTI
Asean related to Tianjin Zerust. Litigation is expensive and often uncertain. There is no assurance that NTIC will be successful
in this litigation. In the meantime, it is likely that NTIC will incur significant expenses in pursuing the litigation. In addition,
the pending litigation may have an adverse effect on NTIC&rsquo;s business and operating results.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Any weakness in the global economy, and in particular in the United States, Europe
and China, may negatively impact NTIC&rsquo;s business, operating results and financial condition. </I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s operating results are dependent upon the economic health of the global economy,
including in particular the United States, Europe and China. Of NTIC&rsquo;s net sales in fiscal 2015, approximately $19.3 million
were to customers in the United States and $1.1 million were to customers in China. In addition, approximately 63.5% of the $99
million in net sales of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures during fiscal 2015 were to customers based in Europe. Accordingly, any weakness
in the global economy, and in particular in the United States, Europe and China, may negatively impact NTIC&rsquo;s business, operating
results and financial condition.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The possibility that Greece and other EU member states may default on their debt obligations,
the uncertainty regarding international and the European Union&rsquo;s financial support programs, the possibility that EU member
states may experience similar financial troubles and the austerity measures that have been implemented by Greece and certain other
EU member states could negatively impact NTIC&rsquo;s business, operating results and financial condition. During fiscal 2014,
total net sales of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures were adversely affected in part by the European economic slowdown, which NTIC believes
adversely affected the net sales of NTIC&rsquo;s European joint ventures, as well as certain of NTIC&rsquo;s other non-European
joint ventures. Although NTIC believes its fiscal 2015 financial results were not similarly affected, there is no assurance that
its fiscal 2016 or future financial results will not be adversely affected. In addition, if the European sovereign debt crisis
worsens, the value of the Euro and other European currencies could deteriorate, which could negatively impact the business, operating
results and financial condition of NTIC and its joint ventures in light of the substantial operations of its joint ventures and
the revenues its joint ventures derive from customers in the European Union. Apart from the European sovereign debt crisis, other
global economies have experienced adverse economic conditions either as a result of the European sovereign debt crisis or otherwise
that have affected all sectors of the economy.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2009, NTIC&rsquo;s operating results were significantly adversely affected
by worldwide economic conditions, particularly adverse conditions affecting the worldwide automobile industry at that time. Since
a significant portion of NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services are sold to customers
in the automotive industry, adverse economic conditions affecting the automotive industry again in particular may result in another
adverse effect on NTIC&rsquo;s net sales and its other operating results.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Any tightening of the credit and financial markets as a result of the European sovereign
debt crisis or otherwise could negatively impact the ability of companies to borrow money from their existing lenders, obtain credit
from other sources or raise financing to fund their operations. This could negatively impact the ability of NTIC&rsquo;s customers
and the customers of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures to purchase NTIC&rsquo;s products, suppliers&rsquo; ability to provide NTIC and
its joint ventures with materials and components and the ability of NTIC and its joint ventures, distributors and sales representatives
to finance operations, if needed, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any or all of these events could negatively impact
NTIC&rsquo;s business, operating results and financial condition. Although NTIC maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers, distributors and joint ventures to make required payments and such
losses historically have been within NTIC&rsquo;s expectations and the provisions established, NTIC cannot guarantee that it will
continue to experience the same loss rates that it has in the past, especially if there are weaknesses in the worldwide economy.
A significant change in the liquidity or financial condition of NTIC&rsquo;s customers, distributors or joint ventures could cause
unfavorable trends in NTIC&rsquo;s receivable collections and additional allowances may be required, which could adversely affect
NTIC&rsquo;s operating results. In addition, weaknesses in the worldwide economy may adversely impact the ability of suppliers
to provide NTIC with materials and components, which could adversely affect NTIC&rsquo;s business and operating results. NTIC is
unable to predict the prospects for a global economic recovery, but the longer the duration of such adverse and uncertain economic
conditions, the greater the risks NTIC faces in operating its business.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC conducts business, either directly or indirectly through several joint venture arrangements
that operate in North America, Europe and Asia. Each of these joint ventures manufactures, markets and sells finished products
in the geographic territory that it is assigned. NTIC&rsquo;s receipt of funds as a result of sales by its joint ventures is dependent
upon NTIC&rsquo;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales of the
individual joint ventures and NTIC&rsquo;s receipt of dividend distributions from its joint ventures based on the profitability
of its joint ventures. NTIC&rsquo;s liquidity and financial position rely on NTIC&rsquo;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC
provides to its joint ventures and dividend distributions from its joint ventures. During fiscal 2015, NTIC recognized $5,715,491
in fees and $2,983,338 in dividend distributions from its joint ventures. Because NTIC owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture
entities, NTIC does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they
should be in any given year. Thus, NTIC cannot guarantee that any of its joint ventures will pay dividends in any given year. The
failure of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures to declare dividends or the failure of NTIC to receive fees for services provided to joint
ventures in amounts typically expected by NTIC could adversely affect NTIC&rsquo;s liquidity and financial position.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">A significant portion of NTIC&rsquo;s earnings results from NTIC&rsquo;s equity income
from its joint ventures. NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint ventures consists of NTIC&rsquo;s share of equity in income from
its joint ventures based on the overall profitability of the joint ventures. Such profitability varies from quarter to quarter.
Since NTIC&rsquo;s management typically receives quarterly joint venture financial information after the completion of each fiscal
quarter, it is impossible for NTIC&rsquo;s management to cut costs and expenses to make up for any unanticipated shortfall in NTIC&rsquo;s
equity income from joint ventures. Accordingly, the variability in NTIC&rsquo;s equity income from joint ventures, in turn, subjects
NTIC&rsquo;s earnings to quarterly fluctuations.</P>

to EXCOR. Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $5,715,491 during fiscal 2015, fees of $873,400 were

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC is subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA,
which generally prohibits covered entities and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other prohibited payments
to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or other benefits. In addition, the FCPA imposes accounting
standards and requirements on U.S. publicly traded corporations and their foreign affiliates, which are intended to prevent the
diversion of corporate funds to the payment of bribes and other improper payments, and to prevent the establishment of &ldquo;off
books&rdquo; slush funds from which such improper payments can be made. NTIC also is subject to similar anticorruption legislation
implemented in Europe under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development&rsquo;s Convention on Combating Bribery
of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. NTIC and its joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives
and agents operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential violations of the FCPA and other anticorruption
laws, based on measurements such as Transparency International&rsquo;s Corruption Perception Index, and NTIC utilizes a number
of joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives and agents for whose actions NTIC could be held liable under the FCPA.
NTIC informs its personnel, joint ventures, distributors, independent representatives and agents of the requirements of the FCPA
and other anticorruption laws, including, but not limited to their reporting requirements. NTIC also has developed and will continue
to develop and implement systems for formalizing contracting processes, performing due diligence on agents and improving its recordkeeping
and auditing practices regarding these regulations. However, there is no guarantee that NTIC&rsquo;s employees, joint ventures,
distributors, independent representatives or other agents have not or will not engage in conduct undetected by NTIC&rsquo;s processes
and for which NTIC might be held responsible under the FCPA or other anticorruption laws.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">If NTIC&rsquo;s employees, joint ventures, distributors, third-party sales representatives
or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, NTIC could suffer severe penalties, including criminal and civil penalties,
disgorgement and other remedial measures, including further changes or enhancements to its procedures, policies and controls, as
well as potential personnel changes and disciplinary actions. The Securities and Exchange Commission has increased its enforcement
of the FCPA during the past several years. Although NTIC does not believe it is currently a target in any such enforcement action,
any investigation of any potential violations of the FCPA or other anticorruption laws by U.S. or foreign authorities also could
have an adverse impact on NTIC&rsquo;s business, financial condition and results of operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Certain private and foreign companies, including some of NTIC&rsquo;s competitors, are
not subject to prohibitions as strict as those under the FCPA or, even if subjected to strict prohibitions, such prohibitions may
be laxly enforced in practice. If NTIC&rsquo;s competitors engage in corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft or other fraudulent
practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies or from government officials, giving NTIC&rsquo;s

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because the functional currency of NTIC&rsquo;s foreign operations is the applicable
local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business.
NTIC&rsquo;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese yen, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, Korean won and
the English pound against the U.S. dollar. NTIC&rsquo;s fees for services provided to its joint ventures 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&rsquo;s earnings. Any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation
adjustment and would not change NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint ventures reflected in its consolidated statements of operations.

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC conducts business, or is contemplating expansion, in developing markets with economies
that tend to be more volatile than those in the United States and Western Europe. The risk of doing business in developing markets

operations and earnings. Such risks include the financial instability among customers in these regions, political instability,
fraud or corruption and other non-economic factors such as irregular trade flows that need to be managed successfully with the
help of the local governments. In addition, commercial laws in some developing countries can be vague, inconsistently administered
and retroactively applied. If NTIC is deemed not to be in compliance with applicable laws in developing countries where NTIC conducts
business, its prospects and business in those countries could be harmed, which could then have a material adverse impact on NTIC&rsquo;s
operating results and financial position. NTIC&rsquo;s failure to successfully manage economic, political and other risks relating

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s products are sold in intense competitive markets throughout the world. This
intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins and lower market share. The principal competitive
factors in NTIC&rsquo;s corrosion prevention solutions markets are pricing, product innovation, quality and reliability, product
support, customer service and reputation. Additional competitive factors present in NTIC&rsquo;s bioplastics business are brand
awareness, distribution network, product availability, product offering, shelf life and place of manufacture. NTIC often competes
with numerous manufacturers, many of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than NTIC. As a
result, they may be able to adapt more quickly than NTIC to new or emerging technologies, industry trends, and changes in customer
requirements, or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than NTIC. In addition, competition could
increase if new companies enter the markets in which NTIC competes, especially when the barriers to entry are low, which may be
true with respect to NTIC&rsquo;s rust and corrosion prevention business, or if existing competitors expand their product lines
or intensify efforts within existing product lines. NTIC&rsquo;s current products, products under development and its ability to
develop new and improved products may be insufficient to enable NTIC to compete effectively with its competitors. No assurance
can be provided that NTIC will be able to compete effectively, which would harm its business and operating results. In particular,
NTIC has experienced more intense competition with respect to many of its traditional ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> rust and corrosion
inhibiting products and services, which have led to decreased pricing and smaller margins for NTIC. NTIC anticipates that such
intense competition likely will continue and that new competitors may emerge, including plastic extrusion companies, which would

financial statements, NTIC&rsquo;s receipt of fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures and NTIC&rsquo;s receipt
of dividend distributions from its joint ventures is based primarily on the revenues and profitability of the joint ventures. Accordingly,

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">One of NTIC&rsquo;s strategies is to enhance its existing products and develop and market
new products that respond to customer needs. NTIC may not be able to compete effectively with its competitors unless NTIC can keep
up with existing or new products or alternative technologies in the markets in which it competes. Product development requires
significant research and development, 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, no assurance can be provided that
NTIC will be able to continue to do so in the future. 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. NTIC&rsquo;s competitors&rsquo; new products may beat NTIC&rsquo;s products
to market, may be more effective or less expensive than NTIC&rsquo;s products or render NTIC&rsquo;s products obsolete. Any new
products that NTIC may develop may not receive market acceptance or otherwise generate any meaningful net sales or profits for

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In an effort to increase net sales, NTIC has expanded the marketing of its corrosion
prevention solutions into the oil and gas industry and its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and finished products. The

activities related to these two strategic initiatives. NTIC expects to continue to invest additional research and development and
marketing efforts and resources into these strategic initiatives. No assurance can be provided, however, that such strategic initiatives
will be successful or that NTIC will be successful in obtaining additional revenue as a result of them. The introduction of new
products into new markets takes significant resources and there can be no assurance that NTIC is dedicating a sufficient amount
of resources to ensure the success of these strategic initiatives. The sale of NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> rust and corrosion
inhibiting products and services into the oil and gas industry, in particular, typically involves a long sales cycle, often including
a one- to multi-year trial period with each customer and a slow integration process thereafter. This long sales cycle may cause

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC utilizes contract manufacturers for a significant portion of its production requirements.
The majority of NTIC&rsquo;s manufacturing is conducted in the United States by contract manufacturers that also perform services
for numerous other companies. NTIC does not have a guaranteed level of production capacity with any of its contract manufacturers.
Qualifying new contract manufacturers is time consuming and might result in unforeseen manufacturing and operations problems. The
loss of NTIC&rsquo;s relationships with its contract manufacturers or their inability to conduct their manufacturing and assembly
services for NTIC as anticipated in terms of capacity, cost, quality and timeliness could adversely affect NTIC&rsquo;s ability
to fill customer orders in accordance with required delivery, quality, and performance requirements, and thus adversely affect
NTIC&rsquo;s net sales and other operating results.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC relies on suppliers for certain raw materials and components used in its products.
For reasons of quality assurance, cost effectiveness or availability, NTIC procures certain raw materials and components from sole
or limited source suppliers. NTIC generally acquires such raw materials and components through purchase orders placed in the ordinary
course of business, and as a result, NTIC does not have a significant inventory of these materials and components and does not
have any guaranteed or contractual supply arrangements with many of these suppliers for these materials and components. NTIC&rsquo;s
dependence on third-party suppliers involves several risks, including limited control over pricing, availability, quality and delivery
schedules, as well as manufacturing yields and costs. Suppliers of such raw materials and components may decide, or be required,
for reasons beyond NTIC&rsquo;s control to cease supplying such raw materials and components to NTIC or to raise their prices.
Shortages of raw materials, quality control problems, production capacity constraints or delays by suppliers could negatively affect
NTIC&rsquo;s ability to meet its production obligations and result in increased prices for affected parts. Any such shortage, constraint
or delay may result in delays in shipments of products or components, which could adversely affect NTIC&rsquo;s net sales and other
operating results, and its reputation. From time to time, materials and components used in NTIC&rsquo;s products are subject to
allocation because of shortages of these materials and components. With respect to NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin
compounds and finished products, there are a limited number of suppliers of the base resins used to manufacture NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
resin compounds and finished products, and in the past, NTIC has experienced some delay in obtaining such base resins. In addition,
a number of raw materials and purchased parts used in NTIC&rsquo;s rust and corrosion inhibiting products and Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
finished products are sourced from suppliers who currently serve as NTIC&rsquo;s sole source of supply for these components. Future
shortages of materials and components could cause delayed shipments and customer dissatisfaction and adversely affect net sales.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Although there is a developed market for petroleum-based plastics, the market for &ldquo;bio-plastics&rdquo;
which are plastics produced with biobased resins, which are derived from renewable resources such as corn or cellulosic/plant material
or blends thereof, or plastics that are engineered to be fully biodegradable or both, is still developing. The commercial success
of NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and finished products depends on the widespread market acceptance of
products manufactured with biobased and biodegradable resins. It is currently difficult to assess or predict with any assurance
the potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities for NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and
finished products. The traditional plastics market sector is well-established with entrenched competitors with whom NTIC competes.
Pricing for traditional plastics has been highly volatile in recent years, which drive, to some extent, the commercial and other
support for bioplastics. While NTIC expects to be able to command a premium price for its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds
and finished products, a widening gap in the pricing for bioplastics versus petroleum-based plastics may reduce the size of the
addressable market for NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and finished products. In addition, the growth of
the market will create some pressure on price for applications today considered commodities, including in particular NTIC&rsquo;s
current Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> finished products.</P>

worker health and safety and the use, management, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes and other regulated materials.
These laws, rules 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s future
costs of complying with the various environmental requirements, as they now exist or may be altered in the future, could adversely
affect NTIC&rsquo;s financial condition and operating results. NTIC is also subject to other international, federal and state laws,
rules and regulations, the future non-compliance with which may harm NTIC&rsquo;s business or may adversely affect the demand for

for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest and penalties. Future events could change management&rsquo;s assessment. NTIC
operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex
issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. NTIC also has made assumptions about the realization of deferred
tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits
or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by NTIC&rsquo;s income tax provisions and accruals.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2015, NTIC experienced seasonality with respect to the sale of its ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
rust and corrosion inhibiting products into the oil and gas industry, with sales during parts of the second and third fiscal quarters
being adversely affected by winter in the United States. In addition, although not anticipated, the sale of NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
rust and corrosion inhibiting products into the oil and gas industry were hampered by low global crude oil prices, which NTIC believes
constrained capital improvement budgets of its existing and prospective customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s success is dependent upon the efforts of a small management team and group
of employees. NTIC&rsquo;s future success will depend in large part on its ability to retain its key employees and identify, attract
and retain other highly qualified managerial, technical, research and development, sales and marketing and customer service personnel
when needed. Competition for these individuals may be intense, especially in the markets in which NTIC operates. NTIC may not succeed
in identifying, attracting and retaining these personnel. NTIC&rsquo;s current management, other than its President and Chief Executive
Officer, does not have any material stock ownership in NTIC. In addition, none of NTIC&rsquo;s employees has any contractual obligation
to maintain his or her employment with NTIC. The loss or interruption of services of any of NTIC&rsquo;s key personnel, including
in particular its technical personnel, the inability to identify, attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, delays in
hiring qualified personnel, or any employee slowdowns, strikes or similar actions could make it difficult for NTIC to manage its
business and meet key objectives, which could harm NTIC&rsquo;s business, financial condition and operating results.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s strategy to grow its business, including in particular its ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
rust and corrosion inhibiting products for the oil and gas industry and its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> bio-plastic resin compounds
and finished products, requires significant management time and operational and financial resources. There is no assurance that
NTIC has the necessary operational and financial resources to manage its growth. This is especially true as it expands facilities
and manufactures its products on a larger commercial scale. In addition, rapid growth in NTIC&rsquo;s headcount and operations
may place a significant strain on its management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Failure to adequately
manage its growth could have a material and adverse effect on NTIC&rsquo;s business, financial condition and operating results.
For example, NTIC&rsquo;s soil side bottom solutions for tanks require implementation teams comprised of both internal NTIC personnel
and outside consulting firms. NTIC&rsquo;s failure to expand these implementation teams to service additional customers may limit
NTIC&rsquo;s ability to grow this business. In addition, NTIC may not be successful in its strategy to grow its business.</P>

systems. NTIC relies on its management information systems to effectively manage accounting and financial functions; manage order
entry, order fulfillment and inventory replenishment processes; and to maintain its research and development data. The failure
of management information systems to perform as anticipated could disrupt NTIC&rsquo;s business and product development and could

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC holds patents relating to various aspects of its products and believes that proprietary
technical know-how is critical to many of its products. Proprietary rights relating to NTIC&rsquo;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. 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.
In the absence of patent protection, NTIC may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy NTIC&rsquo;s products or gain access
to its trade secrets and know-how. NTIC&rsquo;s competitors may initiate litigation to challenge the validity of NTIC&rsquo;s patents,
or they may use their resources to design comparable products that do not infringe NTIC&rsquo;s patents. 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

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On a quarterly basis, NTIC typically provides projected annual financial information,

expectations and typically do not contain any margin of error or cushion for any specific uncertainties, or for the uncertainties
inherent in all financial forecasting. The failure to achieve such financial projections could have an adverse effect on NTIC&rsquo;s

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC also sets goals and objectives for, and makes public statements regarding, the timing

field trials with prospective customers in the oil and gas industry, its ability to increase sales of its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
resin compounds and finished products, and other developments and milestones. The actual timing of these events can vary dramatically
due to a number of factors including without limitation the timing of the receipt of purchase orders, delays or failures in current
field trials, the amount of time, effort and resources committed to the sales and marketing of NTIC&rsquo;s products and services
by NTIC and its current and potential future distributors and agents and the uncertainties inherent in introducing new products

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s quarterly operating results vary from quarter to quarter for a variety of
reasons. For example, NTIC&rsquo;s quarterly sales to joint ventures can be affected by individual orders to joint ventures. Because
of the typical size of individual orders to joint ventures and overall size of NTIC&rsquo;s net sales to joint ventures, the timing
of one or more orders can affect materially NTIC&rsquo;s quarterly sales to joint ventures and the comparisons to prior year quarters.
In addition, because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size of NTIC&rsquo;s net sales derived from sales of
Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products, the timing of one or more orders can affect materially NTIC&rsquo;s quarterly sales of Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
products and the comparisons to prior year quarters. Furthermore, since ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products for the oil and gas industry
typically carry higher margins than other traditional ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products, the amount of sales of ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
products for the oil and gas industry typically affects NTIC&rsquo;s overall margins. Such variability in operating results makes
the prediction of NTIC&rsquo;s net sales, earnings and other operating results for each quarter difficult and increases the risk
of unanticipated variations in quarterly operating results. NTIC&rsquo;s quarterly results have been and in the future may be below
the expectations of public market analysts and investors.</P>

NTIC. NTIC&rsquo;s efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue

activities to compliance activities. In particular, NTIC&rsquo;s efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and the related regulations regarding NTIC&rsquo;s assessment of its internal control over financial reporting have required
and will continue to require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, especially in light of NTIC&rsquo;s

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">As of November 10, 2015, Inter Alia Holding Company, or Inter Alia, beneficially owned
approximately 13.3% of NTIC&rsquo;s outstanding common stock. Inter Alia is an entity partially owned by G. Patrick Lynch, NTIC&rsquo;s
President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, as well as three other members of the Lynch family. Mr. Lynch shares voting
and dispositive power of shares of NTIC&rsquo;s common stock held by Inter Alia with the other owners. As a result of his share
ownership through Inter Alia and his position as President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of NTIC, Mr. Lynch may be
able to influence the affairs and actions of NTIC, including matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors
and approval of significant corporate transactions. The interests of Mr. Lynch and Inter Alia may differ from the interests of
NTIC&rsquo;s other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change
in control of NTIC, could deprive NTIC&rsquo;s stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part
of a sale or merger of NTIC and may negatively affect the market price of NTIC&rsquo;s common stock. Transactions that could be
affected by this concentration of ownership include proxy contests, tender offers, mergers or other purchases of common stock that
could give stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for shares of NTIC&rsquo;s common
stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Future equity issuances by NTIC may have dilutive and other effects on NTIC&rsquo;s
existing stockholders. </I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">As of November 10, 2015, there were 4,538,317 shares of NTIC&rsquo;s common stock outstanding,
and in addition, security holders held options, which, if vested and exercised, would obligate NTIC to issue up to 295,181 additional
shares of common stock. It is expected that such shares, when NTIC issues them upon exercise, will be available for immediate resale
in the public market. The market price of NTIC&rsquo;s common stock could fall as a result of sales of these shares of common stock
due to the increased number of shares available for sale in the market. Any issuances by NTIC of equity securities may be at or
below the prevailing market price of NTIC&rsquo;s common stock and may have a dilutive impact on NTIC&rsquo;s existing stockholders.
These issuances or other dilutive issuances also would cause NTIC&rsquo;s net income per share, if any, to decrease in future periods.
As a result, the market price of NTIC&rsquo;s common stock could decrease.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0pt 0">Business Overview</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC develops and markets proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services
in over 60 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors and agents. NTIC&rsquo;s
primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&reg; brand. NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&reg;
products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military and retail consumer markets for over 40
years, and in recent years, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry. NTIC also markets and sells a portfolio of
biobased and compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resins and finished products under the Natur-Tec&reg; brand. These products
are intended to reduce NTIC&rsquo;s customers&rsquo; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound waste disposal options.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST&reg; rust and corrosion inhibiting products include plastic and paper
packaging, liquids and coatings, rust removers and cleaners, diffusers and engineered solutions designed specifically for the oil
and gas industry. NTIC also offers worldwide on-site technical consulting for rust and corrosion prevention issues. NTIC&rsquo;s
technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&rsquo;s ZERUST&reg; rust and corrosion inhibiting products
to analyze their specific needs and develop systems to meet their technical requirements. In North America, NTIC sells its ZERUST&reg;
corrosion prevention solutions through a direct sales force as well as a network of independent distributors and agents. Internationally,
NTIC sells its ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
(NTIC China), its majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&ccedil;&atilde;o de Corros&atilde;o S.A. (Zerust Brazil),
its majority-owned joint venture holding company for NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture investments in the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) region, and joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and Asia.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">One of NTIC&rsquo;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets
for its ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions. Consequently, for the past several years, NTIC has focused its sales and marketing
efforts on the oil and gas industry, as the infrastructure that supports that industry is typically constructed using metals that
are highly susceptible to corrosion. NTIC believes that its ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions will minimize maintenance
downtime on critical oil and gas industry infrastructure, extend the life of such infrastructure and reduce the risk of environmental
pollution due to corrosion leaks.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC markets and sells its ZERUST&reg; rust and corrosion prevention solutions to customers
in the oil and gas industry across several countries either directly or through NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture partners and other strategic
partners. The sale of ZERUST&reg; corrosion prevention solutions to customers in the oil and gas industry typically involves a
long sales cycle, often including a one- to multi-year trial period with each customer and a slow integration process thereafter.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Natur-Tec&reg; biobased and compostable plastics are manufactured using NTIC&rsquo;s
patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics. The Natur-Tec&reg;
biopolymer resin compound portfolio includes formulations that have been optimized for a variety of applications including blown-film
extrusion, extrusion coating, injection molding, and engineered plastics. These resins are fully biodegradable in a composting
environment and are currently being used to produce finished products including shopping and grocery bags, lawn and leaf bags,
can liners, pet waste collection bags, cutlery, packaging foam and coated paper products. In North America, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec&reg;
resins and finished products primarily through a network of regional and national distributors as well as independent agents. NTIC
continues to see significant opportunities for finished bioplastic products and, therefore, continues to strengthen and expand
its North American distribution network for finished Natur-Tec&reg; bioplastic products. Internationally, NTIC sells its Natur-Tec&reg;
resins and finished products both directly and through its majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited
(Natur-Tec India), and through certain joint ventures. In November 2014, NTIC entered into an agreement with NatureWorks LLC for
joint marketing and sales of Ingeo&reg; based packaging solutions to customers in India. With recent Indian government mandates
banning use of non-biodegradable plastics in certain types of food and consumer packaging, NTIC expects the market in India for
bioplastic packaging solutions to grow substantially.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Termination of Chinese Joint Venture</B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On January 2, 2015, NTIC announced that, effective as of December 31, 2014, it is selling
its ZERUST&reg; products and services in China through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), and has
terminated its joint venture agreements with Tianjin-Zerust Anticorrosion Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Zerust).&nbsp; NTIC and NTI Asean
have filed a lawsuit against Mr. Tao Meng, a Chinese national and the former joint venture entity&rsquo;s other shareholder, and
his spouse in the Chinese court of Tianjin, seeking, among other things, an orderly liquidation of Tianjin Zerust.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC indirectly has a 30% ownership interest in Tianjin Zerust through its 60% owned
holding company subsidiary, NTI Asean LLC.&nbsp; Commencing during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated
financial statements include the financial results of NTIC China.&nbsp; NTIC anticipates that NTIC&rsquo;s net sales, costs of
goods sold and operating expenses will increase and its equity in income from joint ventures and fee income for services provided
to its joint ventures will decrease in future periods compared to the comparable prior fiscal year periods as NTIC started recognizing
Tianjin Zerust based on its carrying value instead of the equity method and will continue to do so until Tianjin Zerust is fully
liquidated.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC anticipates that it may take several quarters to transition many of the previous
customers of Tianjin Zerust to NTIC China and no assurance can be provided that NTIC China will be able to achieve the net sales
and income levels previously achieved by Tianjin Zerust.&nbsp;&nbsp; For fiscal 2014, Tianjin Zerust had net sales of $15.9 million
and net income of $1.3 million.&nbsp; The operating income of the joint venture before paying royalties in an aggregate amount
of $4.2 million to all shareholders was over $5.5 million; NTIC&rsquo;s indirect ownership of Tianjin Zerust is 30%.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2015, NTIC incurred approximately $1,640,000 in start-up expenses related
either directly or indirectly to the establishment of NTIC China, the termination of the joint venture agreements with Tianjin
Zerust and its pending litigation against Mr. Tao Meng and his spouse, and the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and against
Cortec Corporation. These expenses are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses and expenses incurred in support
of joint ventures on the consolidated statements of operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC expects that its operating results may be volatile over the next few quarters as
a result of NTIC&rsquo;s Chinese operations.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B>NTIC&rsquo;s Joint Venture Network</B></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">NTIC participates in 19 active joint venture arrangements
in North America, Europe and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory
to which it is assigned. While most of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some
of the joint ventures also sell NTIC&rsquo;s Natur-Tec&reg; resin compounds. NTIC has historically funded its investments in joint
ventures with cash generated from operations. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-weight: normal">NTIC&rsquo;s receipt of funds from its joint ventures
is dependent upon fees for services that NTIC provides to its joint ventures, based primarily on the net sales of the individual
joint ventures, and NTIC&rsquo;s receipt of dividend distributions from the joint ventures. The fees for services provided to joint
ventures are determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of sales depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect
to NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture in Germany (EXCOR), NTIC recognizes an agreed upon quarterly fee for such services. NTIC recognizes
equity income from its joint ventures based on the overall profitability of its joint ventures. Such profitability is subject to
variability from quarter to quarter which, in turn, subjects NTIC&rsquo;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. The
profits of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership
percentages. NTIC typically directly or indirectly owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture entities and thus does not control
the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in a given year. The payment
of a dividend by an entity is determined by a joint vote of the owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s management, including its chief executive officer who is NTIC&rsquo;s chief
operating decision maker, reports and manages NTIC&rsquo;s operations in two reportable business segments based on products sold,
customer base and distribution center: ZERUST&reg; products and services and Natur-Tec&reg; products.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales increased 13.0% during fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal
2014. This increase was primarily a result of increased demand for ZERUST&reg; rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products
and services and Natur-Tec&reg; products and, to some extent, sales at NTIC China, which subsidiary did not exist during fiscal
2014. During fiscal 2015, 85.9% of NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&reg; products and services,
which increased 9.2% to $26,042,909 during fiscal 2015 compared to $23,845,288 during fiscal 2014. This increase was due to increased
demand from both new and existing customers for new and existing products. NTIC has focused its sales efforts of ZERUST&reg; products
and services by strategically targeting customers with specific corrosion issues in new market areas, including the oil and gas
industry and other industrial sectors that offer sizable growth opportunities. NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales for fiscal 2015
included $1,886,814 of sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry compared to $1,702,130 for fiscal 2014. Overall demand
for ZERUST&reg; products and services depends heavily on the overall health of the markets in which NTIC sells its products, including
the automotive market in particular.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2015, 14.1% of NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales
of Natur-Tec&reg; products compared to 11.1% during fiscal 2014. Net sales of Natur-Tec&reg; products increased 43.6% to $4,279,785
during fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 primarily due to finished product sales in North America and finished product sales
at NTIC&rsquo;s majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India).</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 67.8% during fiscal 2015
compared to 66.4% during fiscal 2014 primarily as a result of increased sales during fiscal 2015 of Natur-Tec&reg; products, which
carry lower margins than ZERUST&reg; products.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint ventures increased 0.3% to $5,936,565 during
fiscal 2015 compared to $5,920,603 during fiscal 2014. This increase was primarily due to increases in profitability at the joint
ventures, partially offset by decreases associated with the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and adverse effects of foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations, including in particular the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar. NTIC recognized a 29.8% decrease
in fees for services provided to joint ventures during fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 primarily due to the anticipated liquidation
of Tianjin Zerust. Fees for services provided to Tianjin Zerust decreased $1,623,938 to $494,080 during fiscal 2015 compared to
$2,118,018 during fiscal 2014. Additionally, there was a decrease in sales at the joint ventures, which were $99,026,251 during
fiscal 2015, compared to $118,848,890 during fiscal 2014. This decrease resulted in a corresponding decrease in fees for services
provided to joint ventures as such fees are a function of net sales of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures. Net sales of NTIC&rsquo;s joint
ventures decreased also as a result of a significant weakening of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar and, to a lesser extent,
the sale in November 2013 of NTIC&rsquo;s ownership interest in M&uuml;tec GmbH.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s total operating expenses increased 11.4% to $18,267,173 during fiscal 2015
compared to $16,392,035 in fiscal 2014. This increase was primarily due to $1,642,258 in expenses related to the formation and
establishment of NTIC China and the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust. Such expenses consisted primarily of legal and personnel
expenses associated with the establishment of the subsidiary, the hiring of new personnel and initial operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. NTIC
incurred $4,047,279 of research and development expense during fiscal 2015 compared to $4,368,752 during fiscal 2014. These represent
net amounts after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts. Such reimbursements totaled
$0 and $45,788 for fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. NTIC anticipates that it will spend between $4,000,000 and $4,400,000 in
total during fiscal 2016 on research and development activities related to its new technologies. This estimate is a net range after
being reduced by anticipated reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 56.4%, to $1,789,571, or $0.39 per diluted
common share, for fiscal 2015 compared to $4,106,372, or $0.90 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2014. This decrease was primarily
the result of the decrease in income from NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture operations as a result of the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin
Zerust and the establishment of NTIC China.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC anticipates that its quarterly net income or loss will continue to remain subject
to significant volatility primarily due to the financial performance of its subsidiaries and joint ventures and sales of its ZERUST&reg;
products and services into the oil and gas industry and Natur-Tec&reg; bioplastics products, which sales fluctuate more on a quarterly
basis than the traditional ZERUST&reg; business. NTIC also anticipates that its operating results during the next few quarters
will remain volatile as a result of the changes in its Chinese operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s working capital was $15,603,771 at August 31, 2015, including $2,623,981
in cash and cash equivalents and $2,027,441 in available for sale securities, compared to $17,853,311 at August 31, 2014, including
$2,477,017 in cash and cash equivalents and $5,519,766 in available for sale securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0pt 0">Sales and Expense Components</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The following is a description of the primary components of net sales and expenses:</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Net Sales, Excluding Joint Ventures</I></B>. NTIC derives net sales from the sale
of its ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products and services and its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products. NTIC sells its ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
products and services and its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products either directly, through its subsidiaries or via a network of
joint ventures, independent distributors and agents. Net sales, excluding joint ventures represents net sales by NTIC either directly
to end users or to distributors worldwide, but not sales to NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures and not sales by NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures.
NTIC recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered,
the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, all of which criteria are generally
met upon shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer or distributor. NTIC records all amounts billed to customers
and distributors in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as sales and records costs related to shipping and handling
in cost of goods sold.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Net Sales, To Joint Ventures</I></B>. Net sales, to joint ventures represents net
sales by NTIC to NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures, but not sales by NTIC either directly to end users or to distributors or sales by
NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures. NTIC&rsquo;s revenue recognition policy for sales to its joint ventures is the same as NTIC&rsquo;s
policy for sales to unaffiliated customers. NTIC recognizes revenue from the sale of its products to joint ventures when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured, all of which criteria are generally met upon shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the
joint venture.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Cost of Goods Sold</I></B>. Most of NTIC&rsquo;s products are manufactured by third
parties and its cost of goods sold for those products consists primarily of the price invoiced by its third-party vendors. For
the portion of products that NTIC manufactures, NTIC&rsquo;s cost of goods sold for those products consists primarily of direct
labor, allocated manufacturing overhead, raw materials and components. NTIC&rsquo;s margins on its Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin
compounds and finished products are generally smaller than its margins on its ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products and services, and
NTIC&rsquo;s margins on its ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products and services sold into the oil and gas industry are generally greater
than its margins on its traditional ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products and services.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures</I></B>. NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from
joint ventures consists of NTIC&rsquo;s share of equity in income from its joint ventures based on the overall profitability of
the joint ventures. Such profitability is subject to variability from quarter to quarter which, in turn, subjects NTIC&rsquo;s
earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. Traditionally, a portion of the equity income recorded in a given fiscal year
is paid to the owners of the joint venture entity during the following fiscal year through a dividend. The payment of a dividend
by a joint venture entity is determined by a vote of the joint venture owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC. NTIC typically
owns only 50% or less of its joint venture entities and thus does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether
to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in a given year.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Fees for Services Provided To Joint Ventures</I></B>. NTIC provides certain services
to its joint ventures including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical and marketing services. NTIC receives fees for
these services it provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales by NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures, the latter of
which are not included in NTIC&rsquo;s net sales reflected on NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated statements of operations. The fees for
services received by NTIC from its joint ventures are generally determined based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales
by NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to EXCOR, NTIC receives an agreed upon
fixed quarterly fee for such services. NTIC records revenue related to fees for services provided to joint ventures when earned,
amounts are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Under NTIC&rsquo;s agreements with its joint ventures in which
the fees for services is described, fees are earned when the joint venture recognizes the revenue.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC sponsors a worldwide joint venture conference periodically in which all of NTIC&rsquo;s
joint ventures are invited to participate. It is anticipated that the next joint venture conference will be held next year or the
year thereafter. NTIC defers a portion of its fees for services provided to 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. The amount deferred
is based on the historical experience of NTIC, current conditions and the intentions of NTIC&rsquo;s management. 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.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Selling Expenses</I></B>. Selling expenses consist primarily of sales commissions
and support costs for NTIC&rsquo;s direct sale and distribution system, and marketing costs.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>General and Administrative Expenses</I></B>. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of salaries and benefits, and other costs for NTIC&rsquo;s executives, accounting, stock-based compensation,
finance, legal, information technology and human resources functions.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Expenses Incurred in Support of Joint Ventures</I></B>. NTIC incurs direct expenses
related to its joint ventures and in connection with NTIC&rsquo;s provision of support and services to its joint ventures. Such
expenses include items such as employee compensation and benefits, travel, consulting, legal and laboratory supplies and testing
expenses.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Research and Development Expenses</I></B>. Research and development expenses include
costs associated with the design, development, market analysis, lab testing and field trials and enhancements of NTIC&rsquo;s products
and services. NTIC expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses
reflect the net amount after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts. With respect
to such research and development contracts, NTIC accrues proceeds received under the contracts and offsets research and development
expenses incurred in equal installments over the timelines associated with completion of the contracts&rsquo; specific objectives
and milestones.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Interest Income</I></B>. Interest income consists of interest earned on investments,
which typically consist of investment-grade, interest-bearing securities and money market accounts.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Interest Expense</I></B>. Interest expense results primarily from interest associated
with NTIC&rsquo;s former term loan with PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank) and any borrowings under NTIC&rsquo;s line of
credit with PNC Bank.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Other Income.</I></B> Other income consists of income from activities other than
normal business operations, such as foreign exchange gains, rent income, and profit from the sale of non-inventory assets.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><B><I>Income Tax Expense</I></B>. Income tax expense includes federal income taxes, income
tax of consolidated entities in foreign jurisdictions, state income tax and changes to NTIC&rsquo;s deferred tax valuation allowance.
NTIC utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting
and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted
tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances
are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. NTIC records a tax valuation
allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. NTIC makes
this determination based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results. Income tax expense
is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&reg; products and services into the oil and
gas industry will continue to remain subject to significant volatility from quarter to quarter as sales are recognized.</P>

    <!-- Field: /Page -->

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2015, 14.1% of NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales
of Natur-Tec&reg; products, compared to 11.1% during fiscal 2014. Sales of Natur-Tec&reg; products increased 43.6% to $4,279,784
during fiscal 2015 compared to $2,980,820 during fiscal 2014. This increase was due primarily to finished product sales in North
America and finished product sales through Natur-Tec India. Demand for Natur-Tec&reg; products around the world depends primarily
on market acceptance and the reach of NTIC&rsquo;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall
size of NTIC&rsquo;s net sales derived from sales of Natur-Tec&reg; products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect
NTIC&rsquo;s quarterly sales of Natur-Tec&reg; products and the comparisons to prior fiscal year quarters.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Cost of Goods Sold</I>. Cost of goods sold increased 15.5% in fiscal 2015 compared
to fiscal 2014 primarily as a result of the increase in net sales as described above. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net
sales increased to 67.8% during fiscal 2015 compared to 66.4% during fiscal 2014 primarily as a result of increased sales during
fiscal 2015 of Natur-Tec&reg; products, which carry lower margins than other traditional ZERUST&reg; products. NTIC anticipates
that due to the change in its China operations, NTIC&rsquo;s costs of goods sold will increase in future periods compared to the
prior fiscal year periods.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint
ventures increased 0.3% to $5,936,565 compared to equity in income from joint ventures of $5,920,603 during fiscal 2014. This increase
was primarily a result of increases in profitability at the joint ventures, partially offset by a decrease in profitability associated
with the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and adverse effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, including in particular
the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar. Of the total equity in income from joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures
of $4,091,608 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2015 compared to $3,950,915 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2014. Of the
total equity in income of joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income of joint ventures of $132,824 attributable to Tianjin Zerust
during fiscal 2015 compared to $626,763 attributable to Tianjin Zerust during fiscal 2014. NTIC had equity in income of all other
joint ventures of $1,712,133 during fiscal 2015 compared to $1,342,925 during fiscal 2014. NTIC expects its equity in income of
joint ventures to be lower in future periods compared to prior fiscal year periods as a result of the anticipated liquidation of
Tianjin Zerust.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures</I>. NTIC recognized fee income for services
provided to joint ventures of $5,715,491 during fiscal 2015 compared to $8,142,863 during fiscal 2014, representing a decrease
of 29.8%. This decrease was primarily a result of the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust as fees for services provided to
joint ventures from Tianjin Zerust decreased $1,623,938 to $494,080 during fiscal 2015 compared to $2,118,018 during fiscal 2014.
Additionally, the decrease in fees for services provided to joint ventures was a result of a decrease in total sales at all joint
ventures, which were $99,026,251 during fiscal 2015 compared to $118,848,890 during fiscal 2014, a decrease of 16.7%. Net sales
of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures decreased due to the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust, a significant weakening of the Euro
compared to the U.S. dollar and, to a lesser extent, the sale of NTIC&rsquo;s ownership interest in M&uuml;tec GmbH. Sales of NTIC&rsquo;s
joint ventures are not included in NTIC&rsquo;s product sales and are not combined with NTIC&rsquo;s sales in NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated
financial statements or in any description of NTIC&rsquo;s sales.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Of the total fee income for services provided to its joint ventures, fees of $873,400
were attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2015 compared to $1,032,234 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2014. The decrease in
fee income for services provided to joint ventures attributable to EXCOR was primarily the result of foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations. Of the total fee income for services provided to its joint ventures, fees of $494,080 were attributable to Tianjin
Zerust during fiscal 2015 compared to $2,118,018 during fiscal 2014. NTIC received fee income for services provided to all of its
other joint ventures of $4,348,010 during fiscal 2015 compared to $4,992,611 during fiscal 2014. NTIC anticipates that due to the
consolidation of NTIC China, NTIC&rsquo;s fee income for services provided to its joint ventures will decrease in future periods
compared to the prior fiscal year periods.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Selling Expenses</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s selling expenses increased 11.5% in fiscal 2015
compared to fiscal 2014 due to increases in compensation and employee benefits, lab testing related expenses, commission expenses,
travel and related expenses, and consulting expenses. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 19.2% in fiscal
2015 compared to 19.5% in fiscal 2014 primarily due to the increase in net sales as well as certain personnel expenses, partially
offset by the increase in selling expenses, as previously described.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>General and Administrative Expenses</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s general and administrative expenses
increased by 21.1% in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 due primarily to expenses incurred to establish and operate NTIC China.
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 21.5% for fiscal 2015 from 20.1% in fiscal 2014
due primarily to the increase in general and administrative expenses, as previously described, partially offset by the increase
in net sales.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Expenses Incurred in Support of Joint Ventures</I>. Expenses incurred in support of
NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures were $1,867,570 during fiscal 2015 compared to $1,408,014 during fiscal 2014, representing an increase
of 32.6%. This increase was due primarily to expenses related to the change in NTIC&rsquo;s Chinese operations during fiscal 2015.
NTIC incurred direct expenses during fiscal 2015 related to the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and the formation and
operation of NTIC China. Such expenses consisted primarily of legal expenses and personnel expenses associated with the establishment
of the subsidiary, the hiring of new personnel and initial operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Research and Development Expenses</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s research and development expenses
decreased 7.4% in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. This decrease was due primarily to decreases in personnel and consulting
expenses.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Interest Income</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s interest income increased to $34,835 in fiscal 2015
compared to $11,617 in fiscal 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Interest Expense</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s interest expense decreased to $20,960 in fiscal
2015 compared to $47,322 in fiscal 2014. This decrease was primarily due to higher average outstanding debt levels during fiscal
2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Income Before Income Tax Expense</I>. Income before income tax expense decreased to
$3,166,034 for fiscal 2015 compared to $6,663,074 for fiscal 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Income Tax Expense</I>. Income tax expense was $648,674 for fiscal 2015 compared to
$1,124,662 during fiscal 2014 for an effective rate of 14.4% and 16.9%, respectively. NTIC&rsquo;s annual effective income tax
rate during fiscal 2015 and 2014 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income of joint ventures
being recognized based on after-tax earnings of these entities. To the extent undistributed earnings of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures
are distributed to NTIC, any material additional income tax liability after the application of foreign tax credits is not expected.
NTIC records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will
not be realized to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. NTIC determined based on all available evidence,
including historical data and projections of future results, that it is more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets,
except for its foreign tax credit carryforwards and Minnesota state research and development credit carryforwards, will be fully
realized. In addition, NTIC determined based upon all available evidence, including new IRS guidance, historical results, projected
future taxable income and foreign tax credit utilization, that it was not more likely than not that the federal research and development
credits would not be utilized during the carryforward period and as a result, a valuation allowance was recorded against all of
NTIC&rsquo;s federal research and development credits. In addition, NTIC continues to believe that its deferred tax asset related
to foreign tax credit carryforwards will not be realized due to insufficient federal taxable income within the carryforward period
and the fact that for ordering purposes the foreign tax credit carryforwards are not allowed to be used until after any current
year foreign tax credits are utilized.</P>

outside the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet NTIC&rsquo;s
future domestic cash needs. As a result, U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the cumulative undistributed
earnings of $18,483,377 and $20,540,523 at August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, respectively. To the extent undistributed earnings
of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures are distributed in the future, they are not expected to result in any material additional income
tax liability after the application of foreign tax credits.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2014, 11.1% of NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales
of Natur-Tec&reg; products, compared to 9.1% during fiscal 2013. Sales of Natur-Tec&reg; products increased 45.8% to $2,980,820
during fiscal 2014 compared to $2,044,666 during fiscal 2013. This increase was due primarily to finished product sales both in
North America and abroad through Natur-Tec India.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Cost of Goods Sold</I>. Cost of goods sold increased 15.1% in fiscal 2014 compared
to fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of the increase in net sales. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to
66.4% during fiscal 2014 compared to 68.8% during fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of increased sales during fiscal 2014 of ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
products for the oil and gas industry which carry higher margins than other traditional ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products and increased
expenses during fiscal 2013 associated with the production and shipping of ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products to a new customer.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Equity in Income from Joint Ventures</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint
ventures increased 13.0% to $5,920,603 compared to equity in income from joint ventures of $5,237,711 during fiscal 2013. Of the
total equity in income from joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $3,950,915 attributable to EXCOR during
fiscal 2014 compared to $3,507,057 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2013. Of the total equity in income from joint ventures,
NTIC had equity in income from joint ventures of $626,763 attributable to NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture in China during fiscal 2014
compared to $579,376 attributable to NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture in China during fiscal 2013. NTIC had equity in income from all
other joint ventures of $1,342,924 during fiscal 2014 compared to $1,151,278 during fiscal 2013. These increases were primarily
as a result of increases in sales at the joint ventures, which improved during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily as
a result of improved economic conditions in Europe.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures</I>. NTIC recognized fee income for services
provided to joint ventures of $8,142,863 during fiscal 2014 compared to $7,352,980 during fiscal 2013, representing an increase
of 10.7%. Fee income for services provided to joint ventures are a function of the sales made by NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures, which
were $118,848,890 during fiscal 2014 compared to $113,189,068 during fiscal 2013, an increase of 5.0%. Sales made by NTIC&rsquo;s
joint ventures during fiscal 2014 improved compared to fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of improved economic conditions in Europe.
Total net sales of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures for fiscal 2013 were adversely affected in part by the European economic slowdown,
which NTIC believes also adversely affected net sales of certain of NTIC&rsquo;s other non-European joint ventures, as well as
the weakening of the Euro and other currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. Sales of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures are not included
in NTIC&rsquo;s product sales and are not combined with NTIC&rsquo;s sales in NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements or
in any description of NTIC&rsquo;s sales.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Of the total fee income for services provided to its joint ventures, fees of $1,032,234
were attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2014 compared to $1,004,958 attributable to EXCOR during fiscal 2013. Fees of $2,118,018
were attributable to NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture in China during fiscal 2014 compared to $2,063,369 during fiscal 2013. NTIC received

compared to fiscal 2013 due to increases in compensation and employee benefits, lab testing related expenses, commission expenses,
travel and related expenses, and consulting expenses. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 19.5% in fiscal
2014 compared to 21.5% in fiscal 2013 primarily due to the increase in net sales as well as certain fixed costs, partially offset
by the increase in selling expenses, as previously described.</P>

increased by 17.1% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 due to an increase in consulting expenses to support new business development.
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 20.1% for fiscal 2014 from 20.5% in fiscal 2013
due primarily to the increase in net sales as well as certain fixed costs, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Expenses Incurred in Support of Joint Ventures</I>. Expenses incurred in support of
NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures were $1,408,014 during fiscal 2014 compared to $1,387,197 during fiscal 2013, representing an increase
of 1.5%. This increase was due primarily to increased headcount to support anticipated expanding operations and anticipated sales
growth.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Research and Development Expenses</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s research and development expenses
increased 14.5% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase was primarily as a result of increased spending on headcount
and field development associated with the new businesses.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Interest Income</I>. NTIC&rsquo;s interest income decreased to $11,617 in fiscal 2014

to $670,126 in fiscal 2013 primarily due to the receipt of life insurance proceeds during the prior fiscal year period.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Income Before Income Tax Expense</I>. Income before income tax expense increased to
$6,663,074 for fiscal 2014 compared to $5,617,501 for fiscal 2013.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Income Tax Expense</I>. Income tax expense was $1,124,662 for fiscal 2014 compared
to $864,000 during fiscal 2013 for an effective rate of 16.9% and 15.4%, respectively. Income tax expense was calculated based
on management&rsquo;s estimate of NTIC&rsquo;s annual effective income tax rate. NTIC&rsquo;s annual effective income tax rate
during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income of joint ventures
being recognized based on after-tax earnings of these entities. To the extent undistributed earnings of NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures
are distributed to NTIC, any material additional income tax liability after the application of foreign tax credits is not expected.
NTIC records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will
not be realized to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. NTIC determined based on all available evidence,
including historical data and projections of future results, that it is more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets,
except for its foreign tax credit carryforwards and Minnesota state research and development credit carryforwards, will be fully
realized. In addition, NTIC determined based upon all available evidence, including new IRS guidance, historical results, projected
future taxable income and foreign tax credit utilization, that it was not more likely than not that the federal research and development
credits would be utilized during the carryforward period and as a result, a valuation allowance was recorded against all of NTIC&rsquo;s
federal research and development credits. In addition, NTIC continues to believe that its deferred tax asset related to foreign
tax credit carryforwards will not be realized due to insufficient federal taxable income within the carryforward period and the
fact that for ordering purposes the foreign tax credit carryforwards are not allowed to be used until after any current year foreign
tax credits are utilized.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">As of August 31, 2015, NTIC had a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank of $3,000,000,
with no amounts outstanding. The line of credit is evidenced by an amended and restated committed line of credit note in the principal
amount of up to $3,000,000. The line of credit has a $1,200,000 standby letter of credit sub-facility, with any standby letters

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The line of credit is subject to standard covenants, including affirmative financial
covenants, such as the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and negative covenants, which, among other things,
limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, loans and equity investments, disposition of assets, mergers and consolidations
and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Under the loan agreement, NTIC is subject to a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00. As of August 31, 2015, NTIC was in compliance with all debt covenants.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

7, 2015 to January 7, 2016 under substantially similar terms, and waived a technical covenant default by NTIC to deliver quarterly
compliance certificates. It is anticipated that, as historically has been the practice, the line of credit will be renewed each

cash flows from future operations, anticipated distributions of earnings, anticipated fees to NTIC for services provided to its
joint ventures, and funds available through existing or anticipated financing arrangements, will be adequate to fund its existing
operations, investments in new or existing joint ventures or subsidiaries, capital expenditures, debt repayments and any stock
repurchases for at least the next 12 months. During fiscal 2016, NTIC expects to continue to invest in NTIC China, research and
development and in marketing efforts and resources into the application of its corrosion prevention technology into the oil and
gas industry and its Natur-Tec&reg; bio-plastics business, the amount of these various investments is not known at this time. 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 revolving line of credit or raising additional financing through the
issuance of debt or equity securities. 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&rsquo;s current stockholders.</P>

earnings and fees for services provided to its joint ventures to fund NTIC&rsquo;s new technology investments and capital contributions
to new and existing subsidiaries and joint ventures. NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures traditionally have operated with little or no
debt and have been self-financed with minimal initial capital investment and minimal additional capital investment from their respective
owners. Therefore, NTIC believes there is limited exposure by NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures that could materially impact their respective
operations and/or liquidity.</P>

2015 was $755,544, which resulted principally from NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint ventures and increases in receivables,
inventories and prepaid expenses and a decrease in accrued liabilities and income taxes payable, partially offset by NTIC&rsquo;s
net income, dividends received from joint ventures, expensing of fair value of stock options vested, depreciation and amortization.
Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2014 was $7,422,912, which resulted principally from NTIC&rsquo;s net income,
dividends received from joint ventures, expensing of fair value of stock options vested, depreciation and amortization, partially
offset by NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint ventures and increases in receivables, inventories and prepaid expenses and
a decrease in accrued liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2013 was $1,910,702, which resulted
principally from NTIC&rsquo;s net income, dividends received from joint ventures, depreciation and amortization, partially offset
by NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income from joint ventures and increases in receivables and inventories and a decrease in accounts payables,
accrued liabilities and income taxes payable.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s cash flows from operations are impacted by significant changes in certain
components of NTIC&rsquo;s working capital, including inventory turnover and changes in receivables. NTIC considers internal and
external factors when assessing the use of its available working capital, specifically when determining inventory levels and credit
terms of customers. Key internal factors include existing inventory levels, stock reorder points, customer forecasts and customer
requested payment terms, and key external factors include the availability of primary raw materials and sub-contractor production
lead times. NTIC&rsquo;s typical contractual terms for trade receivables excluding joint ventures are traditionally 30 days and
for trade receivables from its joint ventures are 90 days. Before extending unsecured credit to customers, excluding NTIC&rsquo;s
joint ventures, NTIC reviews customers&rsquo; credit histories and will establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts based
upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Accounts receivable over 30 days are considered
past due for most customers. NTIC does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. If accounts receivables in excess of
the provided allowance are determined uncollectible, they are charged to selling expense in the period that determination is made.
Accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible based on NTIC exhausting reasonable efforts to collect. NTIC&rsquo;s typical contractual
terms for receivables for services provided to its joint ventures are 90 days. NTIC records receivables for services provided to
its joint ventures on an accrual basis, unless circumstances exist that make the collection of the balance uncertain in which case
the fee income will be recorded on a cash basis until there is consistency in payments. This determination is handled on a case
by case basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC experienced an increase in receivables and an increase in inventory as of August
31, 2015 compared to August 31, 2014 due to the increase in sales and a desire to stock more products to shorten lead times and
anticipate customer demand. Trade receivables excluding joint ventures as of August 31, 2015 increased $699,088 compared to August
31, 2014, primarily related to miscellaneous differences in the timing of collections and the increase in sales.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Outstanding trade receivables excluding joint ventures balances as of August 31, 2015
decreased two days to an average of 50 days from balances outstanding from these customers as of August 31, 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Outstanding trade receivables from joint ventures as of August 31, 2015 decreased $305,909
compared to August 31, 2014 primarily due to the decrease in sales to joint ventures due to the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin
Zerust. There was an increase of outstanding balances from trade receivables from joint ventures as of August 31, 2015 of two days
from an average of 91 days from balances outstanding from these customers compared to August 31, 2014. The significant average
days outstanding of trade receivables from joint ventures as of August 31, 2015 were primarily due to the receivable balance at
NTIC&rsquo;s joint venture in South Korea and Tianjin Zerust. Because of the lack of financial and other information received from
Tianjin Zerust, it is possible that if and when financial and other information is received from Tianjin Zerust that NTIC may need
to recognize an impairment charge on its receivable from Tianjin Zerust. NTIC estimates that its maximum exposure in terms of an
impairment charge on this receivable would be approximately $114,000.</P>

rates, commodity prices and interest rates.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because the functional currency of NTIC&rsquo;s foreign operations and investments in
its foreign joint ventures is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from
transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&rsquo;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese yen,
Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, Korean won and the English pound against the U.S. dollar. NTIC&rsquo;s fees for services provided
to joint ventures 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&rsquo;s reported net income. Since NTIC&rsquo;s investments in
its joint ventures 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 NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income of joint ventures reflected in
its consolidated statements of income. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</P>

of credit with PNC Bank bear interest at either (a) an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.15% for the applicable LIBOR interest
period selected by NTIC or (b) at the rate publicly announced by PNC Bank from time to time as its prime rate, and thus may subject
NTIC to some market risk on interest rates. As of August 31, 2015, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Since NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures are considered related parties, NTIC records sales
to its joint ventures as a separate line item on the face of NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated statements of operations and records fees
for services provided to its joint ventures and expenses incurred in support of its joint ventures as separate line items on the
face of NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated statements of operations. NTIC also records as separate line items trade receivables from joint
ventures, receivables for fees for services provided to joint ventures and NTIC&rsquo;s investments in joint ventures on its consolidated
balance sheets.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC established its joint venture network approximately 25 years ago as a method to
increase its worldwide distribution network for ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services. NTIC
participates, either directly or indirectly, in 19 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and Asia. Each of
these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets finished products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned.
NTIC&rsquo;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. NTIC&rsquo;s
revenue recognition policy for sales to its joint ventures is the same as its policy for sales to unaffiliated customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The fees for services received by NTIC from its joint ventures are generally determined
based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations.
With respect to NTIC&rsquo;s German joint venture, NTIC receives an agreed upon quarterly fee for such services. NTIC records revenue
related to fees for services provided to joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured. Under NTIC&rsquo;s agreements with its joint ventures, fee amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture
facilities. NTIC reviews the financial situation of each joint venture to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned.
From time to time, NTIC elects to account for such fees on a cash basis for certain joint ventures when uncertainty exists surrounding
the collections of such fees, there are no fees being accounted for in this manner at present. The expenses incurred in support
of its joint ventures are direct expenses that NTIC incurs related to its joint ventures and include such items as employee compensation
and benefit expenses, travel expense, insurance, consulting expense, legal expense and lab supplies and testing expense.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The preparation of NTIC&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative
basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact
an entity&rsquo;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant
to the entity. All such relationships are evaluated on an ongoing basis. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, its
wholly-owned subsidiary, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and NTIC&rsquo;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&ccedil;&atilde;o
de Corros&atilde;o S.A., NTIC&rsquo;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC, and NTIC&rsquo;s majority-owned subsidiary
in India, Northern Technologies India Private Limited. NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts
of any of its joint ventures.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
NTIC assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end
analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, NTIC reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly
basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual for fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the
operating results of a joint venture do not meet NTIC&rsquo;s financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed
on the joint venture. In addition to the annual assessments for impairment, non-periodic assessments for impairment may occur if
cash remittances are less than accrued balances, a joint venture&rsquo;s management requests capital or other events occur suggesting
an other than temporary decline in value. If an investment were determined to be impaired, then a reserve would be created to reflect
the impairment on the financial results of NTIC. NTIC&rsquo;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires NTIC to
make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results
may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. NTIC&rsquo;s investments in joint ventures were $20,544,238 as of August 31, 2015
and $22,961,989 as of August 31, 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable
is reasonably assured. These criteria are met at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title pass to the customer, distributor
or joint venture entity.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">With respect to recording revenue related to fees earned for services provided to NTIC&rsquo;s
joint ventures, NTIC recognizes revenue related to support of joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable and collectability
is reasonably assured. The support and services NTIC provides its joint ventures include consulting, travel, insurance, technical
and marketing services to existing joint ventures, legal fees incurred in the establishment of new joint ventures, registration
and promotion and legal defense of worldwide trademarks, and legal fees incurred in connection with the filing of patent applications.
NTIC receives fees for these services it provides to its joint ventures based primarily on the net sales by NTIC&rsquo;s joint
ventures. The fees for support services received by NTIC from its joint ventures are generally determined based on either a flat
fee or a percentage of net sales by NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. Under NTIC&rsquo;s
agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. NTIC reviews the
financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. NTIC elects to
account for these fees on a cash basis for certain joint ventures when uncertainty exists surrounding the collections of such fees.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Trade receivables arise from sales of NTIC&rsquo;s products and services to NTIC&rsquo;s
joint ventures and to unaffiliated customers. Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales NTIC makes to its joint ventures
of products and the essential additives required to make ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> industrial corrosion inhibiting products functional.
Receivables for services to NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures are contractually based primarily on a percentage of the sales of the joint
ventures and are intended to compensate NTIC for services NTIC provides to its joint ventures, including consulting, legal, travel,
insurance, technical and marketing services.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Payment terms for NTIC&rsquo;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit
risk and vary by customer. NTIC typically offers standard payments terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days. Payment terms
for NTIC&rsquo;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration also is given to the
individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors.
NTIC typically offers payment terms to joint ventures of net 90 days. NTIC does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable.
NTIC reviews the credit histories of its customers, including its joint ventures, before extending unsecured credit. NTIC values
accounts and notes receivable, net of an 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. In doing so, NTIC evaluates
the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, 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. Deterioration in the financial condition
of any key customer or joint venture or a significant slowdown in the economy could have a material negative impact on NTIC&rsquo;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 or joint ventures, NTIC&rsquo;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 $40,000 as of August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of
the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If
the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows were less than the carrying value, NTIC would determine whether an impairment
loss should be recognized. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the
fair value of the asset.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The functional currency of each international joint venture is the applicable local currency.
The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates
in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains
or losses are reported as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, NTI Asean and its joint ventures)
conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since NTIC&rsquo;s investments in its joint ventures 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 from joint ventures reflected in NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated statements of operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including
grants of employee stock options and transactions under NTIC&rsquo;s employee stock purchase plan in its consolidated financial
statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. NTIC measures the cost
of employee services received in exchange for stock options or other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the
award, and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.</P>

NTIC purchases production materials and finished goods based on forecasted demand and records inventory at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Management regularly assesses inventory valuation based on
current and forecasted usage, demand and pricing, shelf life, customer inventory-related contractual obligations and other considerations.
If actual results differ from management estimates with respect to the actual or projected selling of inventories at amounts less
than their carrying amounts, NTIC would adjust its inventory balances accordingly.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC is exposed to some market risk stemming from changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, commodity prices and interest rates.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because the functional currency of NTIC&rsquo;s foreign operations and investments in
its foreign joint ventures is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from
transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&rsquo;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese yen,
Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, Korean won and the English pound against the U.S. dollar. NTIC&rsquo;s fees for services provided
to joint ventures 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&rsquo;s reported net income. Since NTIC&rsquo;s investments in
its joint ventures 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 NTIC&rsquo;s equity in income of joint ventures reflected in
its consolidated statements of income. NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

of credit with PNC Bank bear interest at either (a) an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.15% for the applicable LIBOR interest
period selected by NTIC or (b) at the rate publicly announced by PNC Bank from time to time as its prime rate, and thus may subject
NTIC to some market risk on interest rates. As of August 31, 2015, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</P>

on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the

to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial

over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&rsquo;s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Nature of Business </I>&ndash; Northern Technologies International Corporation and
Subsidiaries (the Company) develops and markets proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services in over 60 countries
either directly or via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors and agents. The Company&rsquo;s primary business is
corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> brand. The Company has been selling its proprietary ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military and retail
consumer markets for over 35 years, and more recently, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry. The Company also
sells a portfolio of biobased and compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resins and finished products under the Natur-Tec&reg;
brand. These products are intended to reduce the Company&rsquo;s customers&rsquo; carbon footprint and provide environmentally
sound disposal options. The Company&rsquo;s two operating segments are ZERUST and Nature-Tec.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company participates, either directly or indirectly, in 19 active joint venture arrangements
in North America, Europe and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory
to which it is assigned. While most of the Company&rsquo;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products,
some of the joint ventures also sell the Company&rsquo;s Natur-Tec<SUP>&reg;</SUP> resin compounds and finished products. The profits
of joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.
The Company typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and does not control the decisions of these entities, including
dividend declaration or amount in any given year.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial
statements for events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Principles of Consolidation</I> - NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests
in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct
the activities that most significantly impact an entity&rsquo;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC
(Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), Northern Technologies India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India), NTIC&rsquo;s majority-owned subsidiary
in Brazil, Zerust Preven&ccedil;&atilde;o de Corros&atilde;o S.A.(Zerust Brazil) and NTIC&rsquo;s majority-owned holding company,
NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean). NTIC&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any of its joint ventures.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Non-Controlling Interests</I> &ndash; The Company owns 85% of Zerust Brazil, 60% of
NTI Asean, and 90% of Natur-Tec India.&nbsp; The remaining ownership is accounted for as non-controlling interests and reported
as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company allocates gains and losses to the non-controlling interest
even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest, changes
in ownership interests are treated as equity transactions if the Company maintains control.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Reclassification - </I>Certain amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
for the previous reporting periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Beginning in the second
quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company reclassified dividends received from equity method from investing cash flows to operating cash
flows on the consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. The classification reflects the continued profitability
and returns of those profits to its owners, including the Company. The reclassification did not impact net income or equity.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Net Sales </I>&ndash;The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net
sales to unaffiliated customers as separate line items on its consolidated statements of operations. There are no sales originating
from the Company&rsquo;s joint ventures included in the amount, as the Company&rsquo;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted
for using the equity method.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Revenue Recognition</I> &ndash; The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its
products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed and determinable
and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are met when risk of loss and title pass to the
customer, distributor or joint venture entity. Sales and use taxes charged to customers are reported on a net basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Trade Receivable</I> &ndash; Payment terms for the Company&rsquo;s unaffiliated customers
are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer. The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers
of net 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories
of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable, net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides
a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection
history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation,
the Company 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. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its
current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate
for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve
is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts
receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $40,000 at August 31, 2015 and 2014. Accounts are considered
past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are written-off only after all collection
attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.</P>

arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&rsquo;s joint ventures also
are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration also is given to the individual joint venture due to the
transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from
the Company&rsquo;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due
balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability, and based on past experience
and continuous review of the balances due, determined an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its joint venture receivables

to its joint ventures including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical and marketing services. The Company receives fees
for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally
based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&rsquo;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations.
The Company recognizes revenues related to fees for services provided to its joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable
and collectability is reasonably assured. Under the Company&rsquo;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when
product is shipped from joint venture facilities. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to
assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. The Company accounts for these fees on a cash basis if uncertainty exists
surrounding the collection of such fees.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Investments in Joint Ventures</I> - Investments in the Company&rsquo;s joint ventures
are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted
for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and additional investments.
In the event the Company&rsquo;s share of joint venture&rsquo;s cumulative losses exceed the Company&rsquo;s investment balance,
the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for
impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review
for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical
operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture
do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&rsquo;s
evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures.
These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments
in joint ventures have positive equity as of August 31, 2015 and 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets</I> - The Company reviews its long-lived assets
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines
potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating
activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the
carrying value, the Company evaluates if an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the
amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Income Taxes</I> - The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income
taxes which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax
rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these
assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and
negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning
strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred
income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax
asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby
the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits
of the position and those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest
amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.</P>

The functional currency of NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India and each unconsolidated international joint venture is the
applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet
accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly
exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, NTI Asean and its
joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since investments in joint ventures are accounted for
using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment
and does not change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in the Company&rsquo;s consolidated statements of operations.</P>

equivalents, available for sale securities, short-term accounts and notes receivable, notes payable, trade accounts payables, and
other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the Company&rsquo;s
former long-term debt approximated the carrying values based upon current market rates of interest.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued <I>Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, Topic 606</I> (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09), which provides a framework for the recognition of
revenue, with the objective that recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for
goods and services. This guidance, which includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations
related to contracts with customers, was originally to be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. In July 2015,
the FASB confirmed a one year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard which also allows early adoption as of
the original effective date. The updated guidance will be effective for the Company&rsquo;s first quarter of 2019. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements, but believes there will be
no material impact, if any.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, &ldquo;<I>Inventory</I>&rdquo;, which
modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in-first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard,
such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for the
Company&rsquo;s fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions of ASU
2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by
the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Prior to September 1, 2012, the Company owned 50% of the equity and voting rights of

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On January 2, 2015, the Company announced that, effective as of December 31, 2014, the
Company terminated its joint venture agreements with its previous joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust, and began the process
of liquidating the joint venture entity. Since December 31, 2014, the Company has conducted business in China through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, NTIC (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. As of December 31, 2014, the Company started recognizing Tianjin Zerust based on its carrying
value instead of the equity method since the Company no longer expects to significantly affect the joint venture&rsquo;s operations
or decision making. See Note 8.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin Zerust,
it is possible that receipt of future financial and other information from Tianjin Zerust may impact the realization of NTIC&rsquo;s
investment in and realization of a receivable from Tianjin Zerust. The last time the Company received financial information from
Tianjin Zerust was through November 2014.&nbsp; NTIC&nbsp;as of August 31, 2015, does not believe there are any triggering events
that would require an impairment test.&nbsp; NTIC&rsquo;s current net investment is approximately $1.1 million, which is 60% of
its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of August 31, 2015.&nbsp; The Company will continue to evaluate the realization
of this asset on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company records expenses that are directly attributable to the joint ventures on
its consolidated statements of operations in the line item &ldquo;Expenses incurred in support of joint ventures.&rdquo; The expenses
include items such as employee compensation and benefit expenses, travel expense and consulting expense.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company did not make any joint venture investments during fiscal 2015. On May 31,
2014, NTI Asean purchased the other 50% ownership interest in its joint venture in Singapore for $110,988. The Company did not
make any other joint venture investments during fiscal 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On November 30, 2013, the Company agreed to sell its indirect ownership interest in M&uuml;tec
GmbH (M&uuml;tec), the Company&rsquo;s former joint venture in Germany which manufactures proprietary electronic sensing instruments.
In connection with the transaction, the owner of M&uuml;tec borrowed $168,000 from the Company to be repaid over four years with
no interest. As of August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, $125,891 and $156,854 was due to the Company related to this transaction.</P>

stock-based awards have been granted, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive
Plan (the 2007 Plan) and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). The Compensation

options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards and stock bonuses to eligible recipients
to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation
in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&rsquo;s economic objectives. Subject
to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan, up to a maximum of 800,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock are issuable
under the 2007 Plan. Options granted under the 2007 Plan generally have a term of ten years and become exercisable over a three-
or four-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted at per share exercise prices
equal to the market value of the Company&rsquo;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise
of options. As of August 31, 2015, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.</P>

the ESPP is 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the ESPP. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods beginning

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">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; The volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model
is based on historical stock price fluctuations and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. treasury rates appropriate for
the expected term. Dividend yield and expected volatility are estimated using historical amounts that are anticipated to be consistent
with current values. Expected life of the option is based on the life of the option agreements. Based on these valuations, the
Company recognized compensation expense of $495,683, $454,015 and $306,451 during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related
to the options that vested during such time period. As of August&nbsp;31, 2015, the total compensation cost for non-vested options
not yet recognized in the Company&rsquo;s consolidated statements of operations was $259,585. Stock-based compensation expense
of $179,785 and $79,800 is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2016 and 2017, based on outstanding options as of August 31,
2015. Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general
and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company records a tax valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.&nbsp;
The Company determined based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results, that it is
more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets, except for its foreign tax credit carryforward, federal and Minnesota
research and development credit carryforwards, and capital loss carryforwards will be fully realized.&nbsp; The Company determined
that its deferred tax asset related to foreign tax credit carryforwards will not be realized due to insufficient federal taxable
income within the carryforward period and the fact that for ordering purposes the foreign tax credit carryforwards are not allowed
to be used until after any current year foreign tax credits are utilized.&nbsp; In addition, based on historical data and future
projections, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax asset related to federal and Minnesota
research and development credit carryforwards will not be realized due to insufficient federal and Minnesota taxable income within
the carryforward period after considering the foreign tax credit usage.</P>

approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&rsquo;s executive officers as well as certain officers and
employees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2016. For fiscal 2016 as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus
plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&rsquo;s earnings before interest, taxes
and other income, as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted
EBITOI). Each plan participant&rsquo;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the
individual&rsquo;s annual base salary and the individual&rsquo;s position and level of responsibility within the company. In the
case of each of the Company&rsquo;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be
determined based upon the Company&rsquo;s actual EBITOI for fiscal 2016 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal
2016 and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&rsquo;s achievement of certain pre-established
individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan are discretionary and may be paid to executive officer
participants in both cash and shares of NTIC common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined by the Company&rsquo;s
Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&rsquo;s consolidated
financial statements for fiscal 2016.</P>

amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable
estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company
discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable
possibility that material loss may be have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of August 31, 2015, the amount of liability,

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company follows the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures
with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. Under this
guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes
a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable
inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would
use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable
inputs are inputs that reflect the Company&rsquo;s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset
or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and
financial liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels defined as follows:</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Financial assets that are classified as Level 1 securities include cash equivalents and

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes
in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value
hierarchy. The Company&rsquo;s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end
of the fiscal quarter in which the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. There were no transfers
between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 or August 31, 2014. When a determination is
made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs
to the overall fair value measurement.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: center; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The material terms of the Northern Technologies International Corporation annual bonus
plan for executive officers and certain other employees are set forth in resolutions approved by the Compensation Committee and
are not otherwise set forth in any written formal plan or individual agreements between NTIC and plan participants.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">For each fiscal year, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants,
including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&rsquo;s earnings before interest, taxes and other income, as adjusted
to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant&rsquo;s
percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&rsquo;s annual base salary and
the individual&rsquo;s position and level of responsibility within the company. In the case of each of the Company&rsquo;s executive
officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout is determined based upon the Company&rsquo;s actual EBITOI
for the fiscal year compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for the fiscal year and 25% of the payout is determined based upon
such executive officer&rsquo;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses
under the plan is discretionary and bonuses may be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of NTIC common
stock, the exact amount and percentages of which are determined by the Company&rsquo;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation
of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year.</P>

<P STYLE="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $15,000 for services rendered
as a director of NTIC. The annual retainer is paid quarterly. NTIC&rsquo;s Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual
retainer of $15,000, the Chair of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $5,000 and other members of the

shares of NTIC common stock calculated by dividing the number of months remaining in the fiscal year at the time of election or
appointment divided by 12, which options are automatically granted at the time of the new director&rsquo;s election or appointment.

Payment terms for the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration also is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability, and based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its joint venture receivables is not necessary at August 31, 2015 or 2014.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures &amp;#x2013; &lt;/div&gt;The Company provides services to its joint ventures including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical and marketing services. The Company receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. The Company recognizes revenues related to fees for services provided to its joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Under the Company&amp;#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. The Company accounts for these fees on a cash basis if uncertainty exists surrounding the collection of such fees.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</ntic:ReceivablesFromJointVenturesPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

On September 1, 2012, the Company obtained an additional 10% ownership interest in NTI Asean in exchange for a license agreement, and thereafter holds 60% of the equity and voting rights of NTI Asean.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company accounted for the transaction resulting in the additional ownership as a business combination. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company consolidated the results of NTI Asean. Immediately prior to the transaction, the Company re-measured the fair value of NTI Asean and determined that there was no difference between the fair value and the book value of the entity. As a result, there was no accounting impact related to the business combination in the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company determined the fair value of NTI Asean using the capitalized income method, including a capitalization rate of 25%.

For fiscal 2016 as in past years, the total amount available under the bonus plan for all plan participants, including executive officers, is dependent upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s earnings before interest, taxes and other income, as adjusted to take into account amounts to be paid under the bonus plan and certain other adjustments (Adjusted EBITOI). Each plan participant&amp;#x2019;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&amp;#x2019;s annual base salary and the individual&amp;#x2019;s position and level of responsibility within the company. In the case of each of the Company&amp;#x2019;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be determined based upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s actual EBITOI for fiscal 2016 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal 2016 and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&amp;#x2019;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives.

Each plan participant&amp;#x2019;s percentage of the overall bonus pool was based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&amp;#x2019;s annual base salary and the individual&amp;#x2019;s position and level of responsibility within the company. In the case of each of the Company&amp;#x2019;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout was determined based upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s actual EBITOI for fiscal 2015 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal 2015 and 25% of the payout was determined based upon such executive officer&amp;#x2019;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Accrued bonuses as of August 31, 2015 and 2014 were $620,000 and $1,460,000, respectively.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Four joint ventures (consisting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint venture in Korea, India, Thailand and Tianjin Zerust) accounted for 67.0% of the Company&amp;#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at August 31, 2015. Three joint ventures (consisting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures in Korea, Thailand and Tianjin Zerust) accounted for 62.9% of the Company&amp;#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at August 31, 2014.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;On March 23, 2015, the Company and NTI Asean filed a lawsuit in Tianjin No 1 Intermediate People&amp;#x2019;s Court against two individuals, Meng Tao and Xu Hui, related to breaches of duties and contractual commitments owed to NTI Asean under certain agreements related to the Company&amp;#x2019;s former joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust Anti-Corrosion Technologies Ltd (Tianjin Zerust). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Mr. Meng Tao and Xu Hui have engaged in self-dealing, usurped business opportunities, and received economic benefits that were required to go to Tianjin Zerust. As of August 31, 2015, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of any recovery to NTI Asean, if any. On April 21, 2015, the Company and NTI Asean initiated a lawsuit in the District Court for the Second Judicial District, County of Ramsey, State of Minnesota against Cortec Corporation alleging, among other things, that Cortec Corporation aided and abetted breaches of duties and contractual commitments owed to the Company and NTI Asean related to the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable and an amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss may be have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of August 31, 2015, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

This guidance, which includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations related to contracts with customers, was originally to be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB confirmed a one year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard which also allows early adoption as of the original effective date. The updated guidance will be effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements, but believes there will be no material impact, if any.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, &amp;#x201c;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Inventory&lt;/div&gt;&amp;#x201d;, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in-first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial position or operating results.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DescriptionOfNewAccountingPronouncementsNotYetAdopted>

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&amp;#x2019;s economic objectives. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan, up to a maximum of 800,000 shares of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock are issuable under the 2007 Plan. Options granted under the 2007 Plan generally have a term of ten years and become exercisable over a three- or four-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted at per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options.

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. This discount may not exceed the maximum discount rate permitted for plans of this type under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The ESPP is compensatory for financial reporting purposes.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The fair value of option grants is determined at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below.&amp;nbsp; The volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on historical stock price fluctuations and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. treasury rates appropriate for the expected term. Dividend yield and expected volatility are estimated using historical amounts that are anticipated to be consistent with current values. Expected life of the option is based on the life of the option agreements. Based on these valuations, the Company recognized compensation expense of $495,683, $454,015 and $306,451 during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period. As of August&amp;nbsp;31, 2015, the total compensation cost for non-vested options not yet recognized in the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was $259,585. Stock-based compensation expense of $179,785 and $79,800 is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2016 and 2017, based on outstanding options as of August 31, 2015. Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company currently estimates a ten percent forfeiture rate for stock options, and will continue to review this estimate in future periods.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions and results for the grants:&lt;/div&gt;

 &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;On January 2, 2015, the Company announced that, effective as of December 31, 2014, the Company terminated its joint venture agreements with its previous joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust, and began the process of liquidating the joint venture entity. Since December 31, 2014, the Company has conducted business in China through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NTIC (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. As of December 31, 2014, the Company started recognizing Tianjin Zerust based on its carrying value instead of the equity method since the Company no longer expects to significantly affect the joint venture&amp;#x2019;s operations or decision making. See Note 8.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin Zerust, it is possible that receipt of future financial and other information from Tianjin Zerust may impact the realization of NTIC&amp;#x2019;s investment in and realization of a receivable from Tianjin Zerust. The last time the Company received financial information from Tianjin Zerust was through November 2014.&amp;nbsp; NTIC&amp;nbsp;as of August 31, 2015, does not believe there are any triggering events that would require an impairment test.&amp;nbsp; NTIC&amp;#x2019;s current net investment is approximately $1.1 million, which is 60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of August 31, 2015.&amp;nbsp; The Company will continue to evaluate the realization of this asset on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company records expenses that are directly attributable to the joint ventures on its consolidated statements of operations in the line item &amp;#x201c;Expenses incurred in support of joint ventures.&amp;#x201d; The expenses include items such as employee compensation and benefit expenses, travel expense and consulting expense.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company did not make any joint venture investments during fiscal 2015. On May 31, 2014, NTI Asean purchased the other 50% ownership interest in its joint venture in Singapore for $110,988. The Company did not make any other joint venture investments during fiscal 2014.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;On November 30, 2013, the Company agreed to sell its indirect ownership interest in M&amp;uuml;tec GmbH (M&amp;uuml;tec), the Company&amp;#x2019;s former joint venture in Germany which manufactures proprietary electronic sensing instruments. In connection with the transaction, the owner of M&amp;uuml;tec borrowed $168,000 from the Company to be repaid over four years with no interest. As of August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, $125,891 and $156,854 was due to the Company related to this transaction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:EquityMethodInvestmentsDisclosureTextBlock>

Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and additional investments. In the event the Company&amp;#x2019;s share of joint venture&amp;#x2019;s cumulative losses exceed the Company&amp;#x2019;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&amp;#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures have positive equity as of August 31, 2015 and 2014.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:EquityMethodInvestmentsPolicy>

Such expenses consisted primarily of legal expenses and personnel expenses associated with the establishment of the subsidiary and the hiring of new personnel. These expenses are recorded as operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and are partially off-set by the gross margin contribution from sales of NTIC China.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin Zerust, it is possible that if and when financial and other information is received from Tianjin Zerust that the Company may need to recognize an impairment charge on its investment in Tianjin Zerust. The Company estimates that its maximum exposure in terms of an impairment charge would be approximately $1,130,200 on its investment in Tianjin Zerust, or 60% of the entire investment at carrying value, which was $1,883,668 as of August 31, 2015.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:FairValueDisclosuresTextBlock>

Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company&amp;#x2019;s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and financial liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels defined as follows:&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; width: 700px;"&gt;       &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"&gt;     &lt;td style="width: 55pt; text-align: center"&gt;Level 1 -&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;td style="width: 5pt"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.&lt;/td&gt;    &lt;/tr&gt;     &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; width: 700px;"&gt;       &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"&gt;     &lt;td style="width: 55pt; text-align: center"&gt;Level 2 -&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;td style="width: 5pt"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.&lt;/td&gt;    &lt;/tr&gt;     &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -45pt; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 63pt"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; width: 700px;"&gt;       &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify"&gt;     &lt;td style="width: 55pt; text-align: center"&gt;Level 3 -&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;td style="width: 5pt"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.&lt;/td&gt;    &lt;/tr&gt;     &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;See the section below titled Valuation Techniques for further discussion of how the Company determines fair value for investments.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Assets and Liabilities That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily relate to marketable equity securities.

Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company&amp;#x2019;s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 or August 31, 2014. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:FairValueMeasurementInputsDisclosureTextBlock>

In addition, the Company had federal and state tax credit carryforwards of $2,235,200 at August 31, 2015 which begin to expire in fiscal 2019.&amp;nbsp; These federal and state tax credit carryforwards consist primarily of federal and Minnesota research and development credit carryforwards.

 &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company records a tax valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.&amp;nbsp; The Company determined based on all available evidence, including historical data and projections of future results, that it is more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets, except for its foreign tax credit carryforward, federal and Minnesota research and development credit carryforwards, and capital loss carryforwards will be fully realized.&amp;nbsp; The Company determined that its deferred tax asset related to foreign tax credit carryforwards will not be realized due to insufficient federal taxable income within the carryforward period and the fact that for ordering purposes the foreign tax credit carryforwards are not allowed to be used until after any current year foreign tax credits are utilized.&amp;nbsp; In addition, based on historical data and future projections, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax asset related to federal and Minnesota research and development credit carryforwards will not be realized due to insufficient federal and Minnesota taxable income within the carryforward period after considering the foreign tax credit usage.&lt;/div&gt;

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxPolicyTextBlock>

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Nature of Business &lt;/div&gt;&amp;#x2013; Northern Technologies International Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) develops and markets proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services in over 60 countries either directly or via a network of joint ventures, independent distributors and agents. The Company&amp;#x2019;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&lt;div style="display: inline; bottom:.33em; font-size: 82%; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/div&gt; brand. The Company has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&lt;div style="display: inline; bottom:.33em; font-size: 82%; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/div&gt; rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military and retail consumer markets for over 35 years, and more recently, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry. The Company also sells a portfolio of biobased and compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resins and finished products under the Natur-Tec&amp;reg; brand. These products are intended to reduce the Company&amp;#x2019;s customers&amp;#x2019; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound disposal options. The Company&amp;#x2019;s two operating segments are ZERUST and Nature-Tec.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company participates, either directly or indirectly, in 19 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. While most of the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also sell the Company&amp;#x2019;s Natur-Tec&lt;div style="display: inline; bottom:.33em; font-size: 82%; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/div&gt; resin compounds and finished products. The profits of joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The Company typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and does not control the decisions of these entities, including dividend declaration or amount in any given year.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements for events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Principles of Consolidation&lt;/div&gt; - NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&amp;#x2019;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), Northern Technologies India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India), NTIC&amp;#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o de Corros&amp;atilde;o S.A.(Zerust Brazil) and NTIC&amp;#x2019;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean). NTIC&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any of its joint ventures.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Non-Controlling Interests&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; The Company owns 85% of Zerust Brazil, 60% of NTI Asean, and 90% of Natur-Tec India.&amp;nbsp; The remaining ownership is accounted for as non-controlling interests and reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company allocates gains and losses to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest, changes in ownership interests are treated as equity transactions if the Company maintains control.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Reclassification - &lt;/div&gt;Certain amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for the previous reporting periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company reclassified dividends received from equity method from investing cash flows to operating cash flows on the consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. The classification reflects the continued profitability and returns of those profits to its owners, including the Company. The reclassification did not impact net income or equity.&lt;/div&gt;      &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 71 --&gt;    &lt;div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt"&gt;   &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Net Sales &lt;/div&gt;&amp;#x2013;The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers as separate line items on its consolidated statements of operations. There are no sales originating from the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures included in the amount, as the Company&amp;#x2019;s investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are met when risk of loss and title pass to the customer, distributor or joint venture entity. Sales and use taxes charged to customers are reported on a net basis.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Trade Receivable&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; Payment terms for the Company&amp;#x2019;s unaffiliated customers are determined based on credit risk and vary by customer. The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company 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. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $40,000 at August 31, 2015 and 2014. Accounts are considered past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are written-off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt;

Trade receivables from joint ventures arise from sales of products the Company makes to its joint ventures. Payment terms for the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration also is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability, and based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its joint venture receivables is not necessary at August 31, 2015 or 2014.&lt;/div&gt;      &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 72 --&gt;    &lt;div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt"&gt;   &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures &amp;#x2013; &lt;/div&gt;The Company provides services to its joint ventures including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical and marketing services. The Company receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. The Company recognizes revenues related to fees for services provided to its joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Under the Company&amp;#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. The Company accounts for these fees on a cash basis if uncertainty exists surrounding the collection of such fees.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Cash and Cash Equivalents&lt;/div&gt; - The Company includes as cash and cash equivalents highly liquid, short-term investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Available for Sale Securities&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value.

Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and additional investments. In the event the Company&amp;#x2019;s share of joint venture&amp;#x2019;s cumulative losses exceed the Company&amp;#x2019;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&amp;#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures have positive equity as of August 31, 2015 and 2014.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets&lt;/div&gt; - The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates if an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.&lt;/div&gt;      &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 73 --&gt;    &lt;div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt"&gt;   &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/div&gt; - The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Foreign Currency Translation (Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss))&lt;/div&gt; - The functional currency of NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India and each unconsolidated international joint venture is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, NTI Asean and its joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and does not change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Fair Value of Financial Instruments&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, available for sale securities, short-term accounts and notes receivable, notes payable, trade accounts payables, and other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s former long-term debt approximated the carrying values based upon current market rates of interest.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Shipping and Handling&lt;/div&gt; - The Company records all amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as sales. The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of goods sold.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Research and Development&lt;/div&gt; - The Company expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. &amp;nbsp; The costs related to product research and development are the net amount after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts. The Company accrues proceeds received under such contracts and offsets research and development expenses incurred in equal installments over the timelines associated with completion of the contracts&amp;#x2019; specific objectives and milestones.&lt;/div&gt;      &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 74 --&gt;    &lt;div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt"&gt;   &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Common Stock&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Stock-Based Compensation&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and transactions under the Company&amp;#x2019;s employee stock purchase plan, in its consolidated financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award (generally the vesting term).&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Use of Estimates&lt;/div&gt; - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:OrganizationConsolidationAndPresentationOfFinancialStatementsDisclosureTextBlock>

The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company 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. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $40,000 at August 31, 2015 and 2014. Accounts are considered past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are written-off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt;

In the case of each of the Company&#x2019;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be determined based upon the Company&#x2019;s actual EBITOI for fiscal 2016 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI for fiscal 2016 and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&#x2019;s achievement of certain pre-established individual performance objectives. The payment of bonuses under the plan are discretionary and may be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of NTIC common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined by the Company&#x2019;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2016.</div>      <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 89 -->    <div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">   &nbsp;  </div>  <!-- Field: /Page -->  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On August 19, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#x2019;s executive officers as well as certain officers and employees for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2015.

The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable and an amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that material loss may be have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of August 31, 2015, the amount of liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company&#x2019;s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</div></div><span></span>

This guidance, which includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations related to contracts with customers, was originally to be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB confirmed a one year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard which also allows early adoption as of the original effective date. The updated guidance will be effective for the Company&#x2019;s first quarter of 2019.

Under the new standard, such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for the Company&#x2019;s fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial position or operating results.</div></div><span></span>

The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company 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. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $40,000 at August 31, 2015 and 2014. Accounts are considered past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer.

In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures have positive equity as of August 31, 2015 and 2014.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><span></span>

This disclosure may also include a detailed description of the policy for determining the amount of equity method losses recognized after an investment has been reduced to zero as a result of previous losses, reasons for not using the equity method when the investor company owns 20 percent or more of the voting stock of the investee's company (including identification of the significant investee), reasons for using the equity method when the ownership percentage is less than 20 percent, and discussion of recognition of equity method losses when an investor's total investment in an investee includes, in addition to an investment in common stock, other investments such as preferred stock and loans to the investee.

The Company&#x2019;s primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST<div style="display: inline; bottom:.33em; font-size: 82%; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">&reg;</div> brand. The Company has been selling its proprietary ZERUST<div style="display: inline; bottom:.33em; font-size: 82%; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">&reg;</div> rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military and retail consumer markets for over 35 years, and more recently, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry. The Company also sells a portfolio of biobased and compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resins and finished products under the Natur-Tec&reg; brand. These products are intended to reduce the Company&#x2019;s customers&#x2019; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound disposal options. The Company&#x2019;s two operating segments are ZERUST and Nature-Tec.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company participates, either directly or indirectly, in 19 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned. While most of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also sell the Company&#x2019;s Natur-Tec<div style="display: inline; bottom:.33em; font-size: 82%; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">&reg;</div> resin compounds and finished products. The profits of joint ventures are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. The Company typically owns 50% or less of its joint venture entities and does not control the decisions of these entities, including dividend declaration or amount in any given year.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements for events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Principles of Consolidation</div> - NTIC evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. NTIC consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity&#x2019;s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Northern Technologies International Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Northern Technologies Holding Company, LLC, NTIC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (NTIC China), Northern Technologies India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India), NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&ccedil;&atilde;o de Corros&atilde;o S.A.(Zerust Brazil) and NTIC&#x2019;s majority-owned holding company, NTI Asean LLC (NTI Asean).

The Company allocates gains and losses to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest, changes in ownership interests are treated as equity transactions if the Company maintains control.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Reclassification - </div>Certain amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for the previous reporting periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company reclassified dividends received from equity method from investing cash flows to operating cash flows on the consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. The classification reflects the continued profitability and returns of those profits to its owners, including the Company. The reclassification did not impact net income or equity.</div>      <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 71 -->    <div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">   &nbsp;  </div>  <!-- Field: /Page -->  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Net Sales </div>&#x2013;The Company includes net sales to its joint ventures and net sales to unaffiliated customers as separate line items on its consolidated statements of operations.

The Company typically offers standard payment terms to unaffiliated customers of net 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. The Company reviews the credit histories of its customers before extending unsecured credit. The Company presents accounts and notes receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, the Company prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts. In doing so, the Company evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers and its joint ventures, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, the Company 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. The Company believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide the Company with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event the Company determines that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, the Company records a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $40,000 at August 31, 2015 and 2014. Accounts are considered past due based on terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Accounts receivable are written-off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt;

Payment terms for the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures also are determined based on credit risk; however, additional consideration also is given to the individual joint venture due to the transportation time associated with ocean delivery of most products and certain other factors. Generally, accounts receivable from the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures unpaid after 90 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due balances. The Company periodically reviews amounts due from its joint ventures for collectability, and based on past experience and continuous review of the balances due, determined an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its joint venture receivables is not necessary at August 31, 2015 or 2014.</div>      <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 72 -->    <div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">   &nbsp;  </div>  <!-- Field: /Page -->  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Fees for Services Provided to Joint Ventures &#x2013; </div>The Company provides services to its joint ventures including consulting, legal, travel, insurance, technical and marketing services. The Company receives fees for the services it provides to its joint ventures. The fees for services received by the Company from its joint ventures are generally based on either a flat fee or a percentage of net sales by the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures depending on local laws and tax regulations. The Company recognizes revenues related to fees for services provided to its joint ventures when earned, amounts are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Under the Company&#x2019;s agreements with its joint ventures, amounts are earned when product is shipped from joint venture facilities. The Company reviews the financial situation of each of its joint ventures to assist in the likelihood of collections on amounts earned. The Company accounts for these fees on a cash basis if uncertainty exists surrounding the collection of such fees.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Cash and Cash Equivalents</div> - The Company includes as cash and cash equivalents highly liquid, short-term investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The Company maintains its cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Available for Sale Securities</div> &#x2013; Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value.

Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for dividends, distributed and undistributed earnings and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and additional investments. In the event the Company&#x2019;s share of joint venture&#x2019;s cumulative losses exceed the Company&#x2019;s investment balance, the balance is reported at zero value until proportionate income exceeds the losses. The Company assesses its joint ventures for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31 of each year as part of its fiscal year end analysis. In addition to the annual review for impairment, the Company reviews the operating results of each joint venture on a quarterly basis in comparison to its historical operating results and its accrual of fees for services provided to joint ventures. If the operating results of a joint venture do not meet financial performance expectations, an additional evaluation is performed on the joint venture. The Company&#x2019;s evaluation of its investments in joint ventures requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows of its joint ventures. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. All investments in joint ventures have positive equity as of August 31, 2015 and 2014.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets</div> - The Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be provided by operating activities of the business or related products. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, the Company evaluates if an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.</div>      <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 73 -->    <div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">   &nbsp;  </div>  <!-- Field: /Page -->  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Income Taxes</div> - The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Foreign Currency Translation (Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss))</div> - The functional currency of NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India and each unconsolidated international joint venture is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate. Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss).</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company (excluding NTIC China, Zerust Brazil, Natur-Tec India, NTI Asean and its joint ventures) conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar. Since investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and does not change the equity in income from joint ventures reflected in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Fair Value of Financial Instruments</div> &#x2013; The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, available for sale securities, short-term accounts and notes receivable, notes payable, trade accounts payables, and other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the Company&#x2019;s former long-term debt approximated the carrying values based upon current market rates of interest.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Shipping and Handling</div> - The Company records all amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as sales. The Company records costs related to shipping and handling in cost of goods sold.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Research and Development</div> - The Company expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. &nbsp; The costs related to product research and development are the net amount after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts. The Company accrues proceeds received under such contracts and offsets research and development expenses incurred in equal installments over the timelines associated with completion of the contracts&#x2019; specific objectives and milestones.</div>      <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 74 -->    <div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">   &nbsp;  </div>  <!-- Field: /Page -->  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Common Stock</div> &#x2013; The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Stock-Based Compensation</div> &#x2013; The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and transactions under the Company&#x2019;s employee stock purchase plan, in its consolidated financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and other stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award (generally the vesting term).</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Use of Estimates</div> - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</div></div><span></span>

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION</div></div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has two stock-based compensation plans under which stock options and other stock-based awards have been granted, the Northern Technologies International Corporation Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan) and the Northern Technologies International Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors administer these plans.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Company&#x2019;s economic objectives. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan, up to a maximum of 800,000 shares of the Company&#x2019;s common stock are issuable under the 2007 Plan. Options granted under the 2007 Plan generally have a term of ten years and become exercisable over a three- or four-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted at per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company&#x2019;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options. As of August 31, 2015, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.</div>      <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 82 -->    <div style="page-break-before: always; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">   &nbsp;  </div>  <!-- Field: /Page -->  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">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. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods beginning on September 1 and March 1 of each year. 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. This discount may not exceed the maximum discount rate permitted for plans of this type under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The ESPP is compensatory for financial reporting purposes.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">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; The volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on historical stock price fluctuations and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. treasury rates appropriate for the expected term. Dividend yield and expected volatility are estimated using historical amounts that are anticipated to be consistent with current values. Expected life of the option is based on the life of the option agreements. Based on these valuations, the Company recognized compensation expense of $495,683, $454,015 and $306,451 during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period. As of August&nbsp;31, 2015, the total compensation cost for non-vested options not yet recognized in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was $259,585. Stock-based compensation expense of $179,785 and $79,800 is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2016 and 2017, based on outstanding options as of August 31, 2015. Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt;

Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company&#x2019;s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and financial liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels defined as follows:</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; width: 700px;">       <tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify">     <td style="width: 55pt; text-align: center">Level 1 -</td>     <td style="width: 5pt"></td>     <td style="text-align: justify">Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.</td>    </tr>     </table>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in"></div>  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; width: 700px;">       <tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify">     <td style="width: 55pt; text-align: center">Level 2 -</td>     <td style="width: 5pt"></td>     <td style="text-align: justify">Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.</td>    </tr>     </table>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -45pt; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 63pt"></div>  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; width: 700px;">       <tr style="vertical-align: top; text-align: justify">     <td style="width: 55pt; text-align: center">Level 3 -</td>     <td style="width: 5pt"></td>     <td style="text-align: justify">Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.</td>    </tr>     </table>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">See the section below titled Valuation Techniques for further discussion of how the Company determines fair value for investments.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;">Assets and Liabilities That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis</div></div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily relate to marketable equity securities.

Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company&#x2019;s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 or August 31, 2014. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.</div></div><span></span>
