<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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 February 29, 2016
and August 31, 2015 and the results of their operations for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">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 quarter
ended February 28, 2015, the Company reclassified dividends received from equity method investments 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In November&nbsp;2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-17,&nbsp;<i>Income
Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes</i>&nbsp;which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities
be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The amendment takes effect for public entities for fiscal years beginning
after December&nbsp;15, 2017, with early adoption available. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2015-17 will
have on its consolidated financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, &#8220;<i>Leases</i>.&#8221; ASU No. 2016-02 was issued to increase
transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on
the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined). ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. Upon adoption,
the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment
in the year of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU No. 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, &#8220;<i>Investments
&#8211; Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting</i>.&#8221;
Among other things, the amendments in ASU 2016-07 eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity
method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment,
results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during
all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of
acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor&#8217;s previously held interest and adopt
the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying
for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments require that an entity
that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings
the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for
use of the equity method. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases
in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-07 will have on its consolidated financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, <i>Stock Compensation</i>,
which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance will be
effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. The Company is in
the process of evaluating the impacts of the adoption of this ASU.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

of December 31, 2014, the Company terminated its joint venture arrangement in China, Tianjin-Zerust Anticorrosion Co., Ltd. (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>

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 the six months ended February 29, 2016.</p>

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 February 29, 2016, 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 February 29, 2016.&nbsp; The Company will

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>

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 February 29, 2016, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the

available for issuance under the ESPP is 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the ESPP. The ESPP provides for six-month

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

net of estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense of $203,723 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

of Directors of the Company 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 six
months ended February 29, 2016 compared to an accrual of $100,000 for management bonuses for the six months ended February 28,
2015.</p>

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

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

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

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

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During fiscal 2015, NTIC incurred approximately $1,640,000 and
during the first two quarters of fiscal 2016, NTIC incurred approximately $1,418,000 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, 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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.<b> </b></p>

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales increased 14.5% and 5.6%
during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended February 28,
2015. These increases were primarily a result of increased demand for ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products
and services and Natur-Tec&#174; products. During the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, 82.9% and 83.9% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which increased 10.4% and 2.8%
to $6,385,337 and $12,363,019 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively, compared to $5,783,985 and
$12,022,056 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2015, respectively, due to increased demand from both new and existing
customers for new and existing products.</p>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC has focused its sales efforts of ZERUST&#174; 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&#8217;s consolidated net sales for the six months ended
February 29, 2016 included $717,570 of sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry compared to $878,582 for the six months
ended February 28, 2015. Overall demand for ZERUST&#174; 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&#174; 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;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, 17.1%
and 16.1%, of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 14.0% and 13.8%
during the three and six months ended February 28, 2015, respectively. Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 39.7% and
23.2% during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015,
respectively. These increases were primarily due to increases 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>

and increased slightly to 68.9% during the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to 67.9% during the prior fiscal year period.
These small variances were primarily as a result of small variances in raw material prices during the various periods.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s equity in income of joint ventures decreased 35.4%
and 37.2% to $952,667 and $1,936,420, respectively, during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $1,474,649
and $3,081,332 during the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015. These decreases were primarily a result of 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. Equity in income
provided by Tianjin Zerust was $0 for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $132,824 for the six months ended February
28, 2015. NTIC recognized a 2.4% and 21.5% decrease in fees for services provided to joint ventures during the three and six months
ended February 29, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015, respectively. These decreases were primarily
a result of the anticipated liquidation of Tianjin Zerust and decreases in sales at the joint ventures. Fees for services provided
to Tianjin Zerust were $0 for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $516,139 for the six months ended February 28,
2015. Additionally, there was a decrease in sales at the joint ventures, which were $20,129,215 and $42,000,424 during the three

February&nbsp;28, 2015, respectively. These decreases in the net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures were primarily the result
of adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and resulted in corresponding decreases in fees for services
provided to joint ventures as such fees are a function of net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures.</p>

to $9,099,302 during the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015. This increase
was primarily the result of the 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, 82.9%
and 83.9% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and
services, which increased 10.4% and 2.8% to $6,385,337 and $12,363,019 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016,
respectively, compared to $5,783,985 and $12,022,056 during the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015, respectively.
These increases were due to increased demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers. NTIC has strategically
focused its sales efforts for ZERUST<sup>&#174;</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>&#174;</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&#174; 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&#8217;s net sales to the oil and gas industry sector were
flat for the three-month comparison and decreased for the six-month comparison. NTIC believes its sales of ZERUST&#174; products
and services into the oil and gas industry during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 may have been adversely affected
by low oil prices. NTIC anticipates that its sales of ZERUST&#174; 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, 17.1%
and 16.1% of NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, which increased
39.7% and 23.2% to $1,319,597 and $2,366,352 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively, compared to
the three and six months ended February 28, 2015. These increases were due to increased demand from Natur-Tec customers in North
America and India. 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i>. Cost of goods sold increased 13.1%
and 7.2% for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended February
28, 2015 primarily as a result of increased net sales as described above. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased
to 68.4% during the three months ended February 29, 2016 compared to 69.2% the three months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015 and increased
to 68.9% during the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to 67.9% during the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015. These
increases in cost of goods sold were primarily the result of variances in raw material costs.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Equity in Income of Joint Ventures.</i> NTIC&#8217;s equity
in income of joint ventures decreased 35.4% and 37.2% to $952,667 and $1,936,420 during the three and six months ended February
29, 2016, respectively, compared to equity in income of joint ventures of $1,474,649 and $3,081,332 during the three and six months
ended February&nbsp;28, 2015, respectively, primarily a result of decreases in the profitability at the joint ventures, a decrease
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. Equity in income provided by Tianjin Zerust was
$0 for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $132,824 for the six months ended February 28, 2015. Of the total equity
in income of joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income of joint ventures of $1,480,975 attributable to EXCOR during the six months
ended February 29, 2016 compared to $1,962,047 attributable to EXCOR during the six months ended February 28, 2015. NTIC had equity
in income of all other joint ventures of $455,445 during the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $1,119,284 during the
six months ended February 28, 2015.</p>

fee income for services provided to joint ventures of $971,042 and $2,456,471 during the three and six months ended February 29,
2016, respectively, compared to $994,860 and $3,128,530 during the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015, respectively,
representing a decrease of 2.4% and 21.5%, respectively. These decreases were primarily a result of the anticipated liquidation
Tianjin Zerust as fees for services provided to joint ventures from Tianjin Zerust were $0 for the six months ended February 29,
2016 compared to $516,139 for the six months ended February 28, 2015. Additionally, in total, there was a decrease in total sales
at all joint ventures as fees for services provided to joint ventures are a function of the net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures,
which were $20,129,215 and $42,000,424 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively, compared to $23,057,386
and $52,178,238 for the three and six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015, respectively. Net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures
decreased due primarily to the adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Net sales of NTIC&#8217;s European
joint ventures were adversely affected by a downturn in European manufacturing. Sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures are not included
in NTIC&#8217;s product sales and are not combined with NTIC&#8217;s sales in NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements or
in any description of NTIC&#8217;s sales. Of the total fee income for services provided to joint ventures, fees of $422,654 were
attributable to EXCOR during the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $440,954 attributable to EXCOR during the six months
ended February 28, 2015.</p>

10.2% and 9.7% for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in fiscal

and 19.6% and during the three and six months ended February 28, 2015, respectively. The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage
of net sales for the three-month comparison was due primarily to the increase in net sales partially offset by the increase in

during the three and six months ended February 28, 2015, respectively. Income tax expense was calculated based on management&#8217;s
estimate of NTIC&#8217;s annual effective income tax rate. NTIC&#8217;s annual effective income tax rate during the three and six
months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to NTIC&#8217;s equity in
income of joint ventures being recognized based on after-tax earnings of these entities. To the extent undistributed earnings of
NTIC&#8217;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&#8217;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>

will be sufficient to meet its future domestic cash needs. As a result, U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been
recognized on the cumulative undistributed earnings of $15,892,135 and $18,483,377 at February 29, 2016 and August 31, 2015, respectively.

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. 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 February 29, 2016, NTIC was in compliance with all
debt covenants. 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

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
its Chinese operations, 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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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 subsidiaries and 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>

offset by NTIC&#8217;s net loss and equity income from NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures, and a decrease in accrued liabilities. Net
cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2015 was $392,041, which resulted principally

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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>

$112,369 compared to August 31, 2015, primarily related to the increase in NTIC&#8217;s net sales. Outstanding trade receivables
excluding joint ventures balances as of February 29, 2016 increased four days to an average of 54 days from balances outstanding
from these customers as of August 31, 2015. Outstanding trade receivables from joint ventures as of February 29, 2016 increased
$118,640 compared to August 31, 2015 primarily due to the timing of payments. There was an increase of outstanding balances from
trade receivables from joint ventures as of February 29, 2016 of an average of 10 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 February 29, 2016 were primarily due to the receivable balance at NTIC&#8217;s joint venture in in South Korea
and Tianjin Zerust. Because of the lack of financial and other information received from Tianjin Zerust, it is possible that if

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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

$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 February 29, 2016, NTIC had no borrowings under the
line of credit.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains not only historical
information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. In
addition, NTIC or 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;
&#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;might,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;possible,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221;

the negative of these words or other words and terms of similar meaning. The use of future dates is also an indication of a forward-looking
statement. Forward-looking statements may be contained in the notes to NTIC&#8217;s consolidated financial statements and elsewhere
in this report, including under the heading &#8220;Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results

<p style="font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.8in; text-indent: -0.8in">&nbsp;</p>

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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 February 29, 2016, NTIC had no borrowings under the
line of credit.</p>

in Rules 13a-15(e) and 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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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>

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.</font></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. There was no accrual for management bonuses for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to an accrual of $100,000 for management bonuses for the six months ended February 28, 2015.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 17; Value: 1 --&gt;      &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt;    &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Four joint ventures (consisting of the Company&amp;#x2019;s joint ventures in Korea, India, Thailand and Tianjin Zerust) accounted for 81.7% of the Company&amp;#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at February 29, 2016 and accounted for 67.0% of the Company&amp;#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at August 31, 2015.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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. 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 February 29, 2016, 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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 February 29, 2016, 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In November&amp;nbsp;2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-17,&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The amendment takes effect for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December&amp;nbsp;15, 2017, with early adoption available. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2015-17 will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 8; Value: 1 --&gt;      &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt;    &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;During February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, &amp;#x201c;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/div&gt;.&amp;#x201d; ASU No. 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined). ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU No. 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, &amp;#x201c;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Investments &amp;#x2013; Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting&lt;/div&gt;.&amp;#x201d; Among other things, the amendments in ASU 2016-07 eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor&amp;#x2019;s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-07 will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Stock Compensation&lt;/div&gt;, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impacts of the adoption of this ASU.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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>

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 February 29, 2016, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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.

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.

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.

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 amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor&#x2019;s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION</div></div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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.</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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 February 29, 2016, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the 2007 Plan.</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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. The Company issued 2,439 and 1,948 shares on September 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively, under the ESPP.</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 53,447 and 45,067 shares of its common stock during the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, 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.&nbsp; The Company recognized compensation expense of $223,715 and $261,159 during the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period. As of February 29, 2016, the total compensation cost for nonvested options not yet recognized in the Company&#x2019;s consolidated statements of operations was $443,123, net of estimated forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense of $203,723 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 February 29, 2016. Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized.

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 six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to an accrual of $100,000 for management bonuses for the six months ended February 28, 2015.</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 17; Value: 1 -->      <!-- Field: /Page -->    <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Four joint ventures (consisting of the Company&#x2019;s joint ventures in Korea, India, Thailand and Tianjin Zerust) accounted for 81.7% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at February 29, 2016 and accounted for 67.0% of the Company&#x2019;s trade joint venture receivables at August 31, 2015.</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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. 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 February 29, 2016, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of any recovery to NTI Asean, if any.</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</div>  <div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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 February 29, 2016, 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>

Because the fair value of cost-method investments is not readily determinable, the evaluation of whether an investment is impaired generally consists of whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred during the reporting period that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment (an "impairment indicator").  Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to: (1) significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee; (2) significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee; (3) significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographic area or the industry in which the investee operates; (4) a bona fide offer to purchase (whether solicited or unsolicited), an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar security for an amount less than the cost of the investment; or (5) factors that raise significant concerns about the investee's ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants.</p></div>
