<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, and present fairly the consolidated financial position
of Northern Technologies International Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of November 30, 2015 and August 31, 2015
and the results of their operations for the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014 and their cash flows for the three months
ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP).</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes contained in the Company&#8217;s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August
31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements also should be read in conjunction with the &#8220;Management&#8217;s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#8221; section appearing in this report.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2016.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Certain amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for the previous reporting
period 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 (loss) or equity.</p></div><p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</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&#8217;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, &#8220;<i>Inventory</i>&#8221;, 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&#8217;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">&nbsp;</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
has had or will have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial position or operating results.</p></div><p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

Company terminated its joint venture arrangement 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. (NTIC China). 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&#8217;s operations or decision
making. See note 7.</p>

its previous joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust, began the process of liquidating the joint venture entity, and commenced operations
in China through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NTIC (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. on January 1, 2015. Effective December 31, 2014, the Company&#8217;s
investment in Tianjin Zerust is reported at carrying value based on the Company&#8217;s decreased level of influence over the entity,
and the Company has reclassified previously unrecognized gains on foreign currency translation from accumulated other comprehensive
income. Any declines in the fair value are reflected as adjustments to the carrying value. No such adjustments were recorded during
three months ended November 30, 2015.</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 the Company&#8217;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; The Company,&nbsp;as of November 30, 2015, does not believe there are any triggering
events that would require an impairment test.&nbsp; The Company&#8217;s current net investment is approximately $1,130,200, which
is 60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of November 30, 2015.&nbsp; The Company will continue to evaluate
the realization of this asset on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary.</p>

related to the termination of the joint venture agreement with Tianjin Zerust, the initiation of the liquidation of Tianjin Zerust
and the formation and initial operation of NTIC China. 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 offset by the gross margin contribution from sales of NTIC China.</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 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, which is 60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of November
30, 2015.</p>

<p 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 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.</p>

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

<p 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&#8217;s economic objectives. Subject
to adjustment as provided in the 2007 Plan, up to a maximum of 800,000 shares of the Company&#8217;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&#8217;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise
of options. As of November 30, 2015, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.</p>

<p 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.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 53,447 and 45,067 shares of its
common stock during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fair value of option grants is determined
at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company recognized compensation
expense of $121,854 and $143,897 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the options
that vested during such time period. As of November 30, 2015, the total compensation cost for nonvested options not yet recognized
in the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations was $544,984, net of estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation
expense of $305,584 is expected through the remainder of fiscal year 2016, and $159,600 and $79,800 is expected to be recognized
during fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, respectively, based on outstanding options as of November 30, 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>

approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for the Company&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the
individual&#8217;s annual base salary and the individual&#8217;s position and level of responsibility within the company. In the
case of each of the Company&#8217;s executive officer participants, 75% of the amount of their individual bonus payout will be
determined based upon the Company&#8217;s actual Adjusted EBITOI for fiscal 2016 compared to a pre-established target Adjusted
EBITOI for fiscal 2016 and 25% of the payout will be determined based upon such executive officer&#8217;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 the Company&#8217;s common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined
by the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&#8217;s
consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2016. There was no accrual for management bonuses for the three months ended November
30, 2015 compared to an accrual of $240,000 for management bonuses for the three months ended November 30, 2014.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Business Overview</b></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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&#8217;s
primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#174; brand. NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#174;
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&#174; brand. These products
are intended to reduce NTIC&#8217;s customers&#8217; 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&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; 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&#8217;s
technical service consultants work directly with the end users of NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; 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&#174;
corrosion prevention solutions through a direct sales force as well as a network of independent distributors and agents. Internationally,
NTIC sells its ZERUST&#174; 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&#8217;s joint venture investments in the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, its majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Zerust Preven&#231;&#227;o de Corros&#227;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&#8217;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets
for its ZERUST&#174; 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&#174; 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&#174; 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&#174; 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&#174; biobased and compostable plastics are manufactured using NTIC&#8217;s
patented and/or proprietary technologies and are intended to replace conventional petroleum-based plastics. The Natur-Tec&#174;
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&#174;
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&#174; bioplastic products. Internationally, NTIC sells its Natur-Tec&#174;
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&#174; 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&#174; 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). NTIC and NTI Asean LLC have
filed a lawsuit against Mr. Tao Meng, a Chinese national and the former joint venture entity&#8217;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. Commencing during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial
statements include the financial results 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 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. For fiscal 2014, Tianjin Zerust had net sales of $15.9 million and net
income of $1.3 million. 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&#8217;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 and during the first quarter
of fiscal 2016, NTIC incurred approximately $862,000 in expenses related either directly or indirectly to the establishment and
initial business operations 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 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 that its operating results may be volatile over the next few quarters as
a result of NTIC&#8217;s Chinese operations.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><b>NTIC&#8217;s Joint Venture Network</b></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</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&#8217;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also
sell NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds. NTIC has historically funded its investments in joint ventures with cash generated
from operations.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. The profits of NTIC&#8217;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>

NTIC China, are fully consolidated in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements. NTIC holds 85% of the equity and 85% of the
voting rights of Zerust Brazil. NTIC holds 60% of the equity and 60% of the voting rights of NTI Asean. NTI Asean holds investments
in eight entities that operate in the following eight territories located in the ASEAN region: China (although liquidation was
initiated December 31, 2014), Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. NTIC holds 90% of
the equity and 90% of the voting rights of Natur-Tec India. NTIC China is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTIC.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Financial Overview</b></p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s management, including its chief executive officer who is NTIC&#8217;s chief
operating decision maker, reports and manages NTIC&#8217;s operations in two reportable business segments based on products sold,
customer base and distribution center: ZERUST&#174; products and services and Natur-Tec&#174; products.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales decreased 2.6% during the three months ended November
30, 2015 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in sales of ZERUST&#174;
rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products and sales to joint ventures, partially offset by an increase in sales of Natur-Tec&#174;
products.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>
<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2015, 85.1% of NTIC&rsquo;s
consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&reg; products and services, which decreased 4.2% to $5,977,682 compared
to $6,238,071 for the three months ended November 30, 2014. This decrease was due to lower sales from existing customers for new
and existing products. NTIC has expanded 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 the three months ended November 30, 2015 included $340,239
of sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry compared to $502,192 for the three months ended November 30, 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, oil and gas, agriculture, and mining markets in particular. In addition, we believe demand for ZERUST&reg;
products and services in the oil and gas industry may be dependent upon oil prices, with low oil prices causing existing or potential
customers to delay purchases and installations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2015, 14.9% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net
sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 13.5% during the three months ended November 30, 2014. Net
sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 7.2% during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended
November 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in finished product sales in North America and finished product sales at NTIC&#8217;s
majority-owned subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India).</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 69.4% during the three months
ended November 30, 2015 compared to 66.6% during the three months ended November 30, 2014 primarily as a result of increased sales
of Natur-Tec&#174; products which carry lower margins than NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; products and services.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s equity in income of joint ventures decreased 38.8% to $983,753 during the
three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to $1,606,683 during the three months ended November 30, 2014. This decrease was
primarily due to decreases in profitability at the joint ventures, 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 30.4% decrease in fees for services provided to joint ventures during the three months ended November
30, 2015 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2014 primarily due to the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust. Fees
for services provided to Tianjin Zerust decreased $516,139 to $0 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to $516,139
during the three months ended November 30, 2014. Additionally, total net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures decreased 24.9% to
$21,871,209 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to $29,120,852 for the three months ended November 30, 2014
due primarily to the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust, which had sales of $3,735,457 during the three months ended November
30, 2014, and the adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, including in particular, the Euro compared to
the U.S. dollar.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s total operating expenses increased 4.3% to $4,703,787 during the three months
ended November 30, 2015 compared to $4,510,179 for the three months ended November 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to
$504,385 in expenses related to the formation and establishment of NTIC China and the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust.
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">NTIC expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. NTIC
incurred $1,004,097 and $1,049,913 of expense during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in connection
with its research and development activities. 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.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Net (loss) income attributable to NTIC decreased 123.2% to a net loss of $(234,351),
or $(0.05), per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to net income of $1,008,265, or $0.22
per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of the decreases
in income from NTIC&#8217;s joint venture operations and the decrease in gross profit.</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&#174;
products and services into the oil and gas industry and Natur-Tec&#174; bioplastics products, which sales fluctuate more on a quarterly
basis than the traditional ZERUST&#174; business. NTIC also anticipates that its operating results during the next few quarters
will be particularly volatile as a result of the changes in its Chinese operations.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s working capital was $14,756,128 at November 30, 2015, including $3,072,015
in cash and cash equivalents and $528,867 in available for sale securities, compared to $15,603,771 at August 31, 2015, including

the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily a result
of a decrease in net sales to joint ventures. NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales to unaffiliated customers excluding NTIC&#8217;s
joint ventures increased 0.3% to $6,501,410 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal
2015. This increase was primarily a result of increased demand from the addition of new customers at NTI China and an increase
in sale of our Natur-Tec&#174; products. Net sales to joint ventures decreased 28.7% to $523,027 during the three months ended November
30, 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal 2015. This decrease was primarily a result of lower demand for ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup>
products and services and adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rates.</p>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2015, 85.1% of NTIC&rsquo;s
consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products and services, which decreased 4.2% to $5,977,682
during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to $6,238,071 during the same period in fiscal 2015. NTIC has strategically
focused its sales efforts for ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products and services on customers with sizeable corrosion problems in industry
sectors that offer sizable growth opportunities, including the oil and gas sector. Overall demand for ZERUST<SUP>&reg;</SUP> products
and services depends heavily on the overall health of the market segments to which NTIC sells its products, including the automotive,
oil and gas, agriculture, and mining markets in particular. In addition, we believe demand for ZERUST&reg; products and services
in the oil and gas industry may be dependent upon oil prices, with low oil prices causing existing or potential customers to delay
purchases and installations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&rsquo;s net sales to the oil and gas industry sector decreased
during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to the prior fiscal year period primarily as a result of decreased sales
in Brazil. We also believe our sales of ZERUST&reg; products and services into the oil and gas industry during the three months
ended November 30, 2015 may have been adversely affected by low oil prices. 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>


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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2015, 14.9% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net
sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, which increased 7.2% to $1,046,755 during the three months ended November
30, 2015 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2014. Demand for Natur-Tec&#174; products around the world depends primarily
on market acceptance and the reach of NTIC&#8217;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall
size of NTIC&#8217;s net sales derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect
NTIC&#8217;s quarterly sales of Natur-Tec&#174; 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 1.4% for the three months ended
November 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2014. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased
to 69.4% for the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to 66.6% for the three months ended November 30, 2014 primarily
as a result of increased sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products which carry lower margins than NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; products and
services.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Equity in Income of Joint Ventures.</i> NTIC&#8217;s equity in income of joint ventures
decreased 38.8% to $983,753 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared $1,606,683 during the three months ended November
30, 2014. This decrease was primarily a result of decreases in profitability at the joint ventures, partially offset by decreases
in profitability 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. Of the total equity in income of joint ventures,
NTIC had equity in income of joint ventures of $768,123 attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared
to $978,096 during the three months ended November 30, 2014.</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 $1,485,429 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to $2,133,670 during the three
months ended November 30, 2014, representing a decrease of $648,241, or 30.4%. Fee income for services provided to joint ventures
is a function of the sales made by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures. Total net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures decreased 24.9%
to $21,871,209 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to $29,120,852 for the three months ended November 30,
2014 due primarily to the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rates. Net
sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are not included in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements. Of the total fee income
for services provided to its joint ventures, fees of $229,785 were attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November
30, 2015 compared to $238,321 attributable to EXCOR during the three months ended November 30, 2014.</p>

ended November 30, 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal 2015 due to expenses related to the formation and establishment of
NTIC China&#8217;s operations. Such expenses consisted primarily of personnel expenses associated with the establishment of the
subsidiary, the hiring of new personnel and initial operations. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 21.7%
for the three months ended November 30, 2015, from 19.3% during the three months ended November 30, 2014 due primarily to the decrease
in net sales and increase in selling expenses, as previously described.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">As of November 30, 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
of credit issued thereunder being at the sole discretion of PNC Bank.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On January 6, 2016, PNC Bank extended the maturity date of the line of credit from January
7, 2016 to January 7, 2017. All other terms of the line of credit and the loan agreement and other documents evidencing the line
of credit remain the same. It is anticipated that, as historically has been the practice, the line of credit will be renewed each

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC believes that a combination of its existing cash and cash equivalents, forecasted
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 the remainder of 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&#174; bio-plastics business. 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&#8217;s current stockholders.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC traditionally has used the cash generated from its operations, distributions of
earnings and fees for services provided to its joint ventures to fund NTIC&#8217;s new technology investments and capital contributions
to new and existing joint ventures. NTIC&#8217;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 it is not likely that there exists any exposure to debt by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures that could materially impact
their respective operations and/or liquidity.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Uses of Cash and Cash Flows</i>. Net cash used in operating activities during the
three months ended November&nbsp;30, 2015 was $750,248, which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint
ventures and a decrease in accrued liabilities and increases in receivables and prepaid expenses, partially offset by dividends
received by joint ventures, depreciation and amortization. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended
November 30, 2014 was $384,121, which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures and a decrease
in accrued liabilities and increases in receivables and prepaid expenses, partially offset by NTIC&#8217;s net income, depreciation
and amortization.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s cash flows from operations are impacted by significant changes in certain
components of NTIC&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s
joint ventures, NTIC reviews customers&#8217; 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&#8217;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">Outstanding trade receivables from joint ventures as of November 30, 2015 decreased $45,761

increased an average of 11 days from an average of 93 days from balances outstanding from these customers compared to August 31,
2015. The significant average days outstanding of trade receivables from joint ventures as of November 30, 2015 were primarily
due to the receivables balances at NTIC&#8217;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>

contractual obligations as provided in &#8220;Part II. Item 7, Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations&#8212;Contractual Obligations,&#8221; included in NTIC&#8217;s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC does not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships,
such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the
purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet financial arrangements. As such, NTIC is not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity,
market or credit risk that could arise if NTIC had engaged in such arrangements.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Inflation in the United States and abroad historically has had little effect on NTIC.
NTIC&#8217;s business has not historically been seasonal.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Market Risk</b></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#8217;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&#8217;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">Some raw materials used in NTIC&#8217;s products are exposed to commodity price changes.
The primary commodity price exposures are with a variety of plastic resins.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">At the option of NTIC, outstanding advances under NTIC&#8217;s $3,000,000 revolving line
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 November 30, 2015, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</p>

forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the

others on NTIC&#8217;s behalf may make forward-looking statements from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone
conferences and/or web casts open to the public, in press releases or reports, on NTIC&#8217;s Internet web site or otherwise.
All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report or expressed by NTIC orally from time to time
that address activities, events or developments that NTIC expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are
forward-looking statements including, in particular, the statements about NTIC&#8217;s plans, objectives, strategies and prospects
regarding, among other things, NTIC&#8217;s financial condition, results of operations and business, the outcome of contingencies
such as legal proceedings and the effect of the liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and the establishment of NTIC China. NTIC has identified
some of these forward-looking statements in this report with words like &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221;

<p style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; text-indent: -0.8in; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.8in">&nbsp;</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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s reported net income. Since NTIC&#8217;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&#8217;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>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Some raw materials used in NTIC&#8217;s products are exposed to commodity price changes.
The primary commodity price exposures are with a variety of plastic resins.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">At the option of NTIC, outstanding advances under NTIC&#8217;s $3,000,000 revolving line
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 November 30, 2015, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</p>

15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by NTIC in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s rules and
forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTIC&#8217;s management, including NTIC&#8217;s principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. NTIC&#8217;s management evaluated, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial
Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of NTIC&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered in this report. Based on that evaluation, NTIC&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that NTIC&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed in the reports that NTIC files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC&#8217;s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to NTIC&#8217;s management, including NTIC&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate,

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On March 23, 2015, NTIC and NTI Asean LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary of NTIC, filed
a lawsuit in Tianjin No 1 Intermediate People&#8217;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 NTIC&#8217;s former joint venture in China,
Tianjin Zerust Anti-Corrosion Technologies Ltd. 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. At
this point it is too early in the lawsuit to reasonably estimate the amount of any recovery to NTI Asean.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On April 21, 2015, NTIC 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 NTIC&#8217;s
joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust. On November 4, 2015, NTIC and NTI Asean were permitted to file an amended complaint adding
new counts, including, but not limited to, one for breach of contract, arising out of Cortec&#8217;s breach of a 2005 Settlement
Agreement and Consent Order. The case was subsequently assigned to the complex civil jury trial calendar, extending deadlines for
discovery and trial. The current discovery deadline is September 23, 2016 and the trial will be scheduled during the March 27-April
14, 2017 jury trial block in Ramsey County. The parties attended a court ordered mediation on September 24, 2015 which did not
result in a settlement. A second mediation deadline of August 12, 2016 was set by the court in the amended scheduling order.</p>

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 Adjusted EBITOI for fiscal 2016 compared to a pre-established target Adjusted 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. The payment of bonuses under the plan are discretionary and may be paid to executive officer participants in both cash and shares of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock, the exact amount and percentages will be determined by the Company&amp;#x2019;s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, after the completion of the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2016.

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 November 30, 2015, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of any recovery to NTI Asean, 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;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 other 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 November 30, 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. As of November 30, 2015, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.&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 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.&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 granted options to purchase an aggregate of 53,447 and 45,067 shares of its common stock during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fair value of option grants is determined at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company recognized compensation expense of $121,854 and $143,897 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period. As of November 30, 2015, the total compensation cost for nonvested options not yet recognized in the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was $544,984, net of estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense of $305,584 is expected through the remainder of fiscal year 2016, and $159,600 and $79,800 is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, respectively, based on outstanding options as of November 30, 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;

Ltd. on January 1, 2015. Effective December 31, 2014, the Company&amp;#x2019;s investment in Tianjin Zerust is reported at carrying value based on the Company&amp;#x2019;s decreased level of influence over the entity, and the Company has reclassified previously unrecognized gains on foreign currency translation from accumulated other comprehensive income. Any declines in the fair value are reflected as adjustments to the carrying value. No such adjustments were recorded during three months ended November 30, 2015.&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 the Company&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; The Company,&amp;nbsp;as of November 30, 2015, does not believe there are any triggering events that would require an impairment test.&amp;nbsp; The Company&amp;#x2019;s current net investment is approximately $1,130,200, which is 60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of November 30, 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 incurred expenses of $862,183 during three months ended November 30, 2015, related to the termination of the joint venture agreement with Tianjin Zerust, the initiation of the liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and the formation and initial operation of NTIC China. 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 offset 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, which is 60% of its investment in Tianjin Zerust, which was $1,883,668 as of November 30, 2015.&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;See Note 13 regarding pending litigation involving Tianjin Zerust.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:FairValueDisclosuresTextBlock>

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. 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.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, &#x201c;<div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;">Inventory</div>&#x201d;, which modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in-first-out or average cost method.

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 November 30, 2015, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <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 Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 53,447 and 45,067 shares of its common stock during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fair value of option grants is determined at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below. The Company recognized compensation expense of $121,854 and $143,897 during the three months ended November 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period. As of November 30, 2015, the total compensation cost for nonvested options not yet recognized in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was $544,984, net of estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense of $305,584 is expected through the remainder of fiscal year 2016, and $159,600 and $79,800 is expected to be recognized during fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, respectively, based on outstanding options as of November 30, 2015.

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&#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&#x2019;s percentage of the overall bonus pool is based upon the number of plan participants, the individual&#x2019;s annual base salary and the individual&#x2019;s position and level of responsibility within the company. 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 Adjusted EBITOI for fiscal 2016 compared to a pre-established target Adjusted 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 the Company&#x2019;s 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. There was no accrual for management bonuses for the three months ended November 30, 2015 compared to an accrual of $240,000 for management bonuses for the three months ended November 30, 2014.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Four joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures in Korea, India, Thailand and Tianjin Zerust) accounted for 64.4% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at November 30, 2015 and accounted for 67.0% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at August 31, 2015.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 16; Value: 1 -->      <!-- Field: /Page -->      <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On March 23, 2015, the Company and NTI Asean filed a lawsuit in Tianjin No 1 Intermediate People&#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&#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 November 30, 2015, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of any recovery to NTI Asean, if any.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">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&#x2019;s joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust.</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">From time to time, the Company is subject to various other 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 November 30, 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>
