<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.</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 adopted ASU 2015-17 as of August 31, 2016, however, there
was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During February 2016, the FASB issued 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 on its consolidated financial statements.</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>

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 was 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. Since it began the process of liquidating the joint venture entity on
December 31, 2014, the Company has not received any proceeds from the assets of Tianjin Zerust. In addition, the Company has not
received financial information or cooperation from its joint venture partner in determining the investment value. During the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company obtained additional information regarding the financial position of the investment through
the legal proceedings that have been ongoing (See Note 13). These circumstances resulted in the Company concluding an indication
of impairment existed and that the fair value of the investment was $0 as of August 31, 2016 based on accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. See Note 13 regarding ongoing litigation involving Tianjin Zerust.</p></div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

the last day of each month during the term thereof and (b) for the portion of advances bearing interest under the LIBOR option
on the last day of the respective LIBOR interest period selected for such advance. Any unpaid interest is payable on the maturity

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, 2016, only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the
2007 Plan.</p>

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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 56,677
and 53,447 shares of its common stock during the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 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. The
Company recognized compensation expense of $97,916 and $121,854 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively,
related to the options that vested during such time period. As of November 30, 2016, the total compensation cost for nonvested
options not yet recognized in the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations was $533,148, net of estimated forfeitures.
Stock-based compensation expense of $293,748 is expected through the remainder of fiscal year 2017, and $159,600 and $79,800 is
expected to be recognized during fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, respectively, based on outstanding options as of November 30, 2016.
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>

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, 2017. For fiscal 2017 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 EBITOI for fiscal 2017 compared to a pre-established target EBITOI
for fiscal 2017 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 NTIC 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

<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 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<sup>&#174;</sup> brand. NTIC
has been selling its proprietary ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> 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 certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and
finished products under the Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> 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: 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 ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> 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<sup>&#174;</sup>
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<sup>&#174;</sup> corrosion prevention solutions through a network of independent distributors
and agents supported by a direct sales force. Internationally, NTIC sells its ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> 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 its wholly-owned subsidiary in
Mexico, ZERUST-EXCOR MEXICO, S. de R.L. de C.V (Zerust Mexico), and joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and Asia.
NTIC also sells products directly to is joint venture partners through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany, NTIC Europe GmbH

<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<sup>&#174;</sup> corrosion prevention solutions. Consequently, for the past several years,
NTIC has focused significant 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<sup>&#174;</sup>
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<sup>&#174;</sup> 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<sup>&#174;</sup> 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>

plastics. The Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> 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
resin compounds are certified to be 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 and coated paper
products. In North America, NTIC markets its Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> resin compounds 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<sup>&#174;</sup> bioplastic products. Internationally, NTIC sells its Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> resin compounds
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.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, NTIC

ongoing litigation against Mr. Tao Meng and his spouse, NTIC&#8217;s ongoing litigation against Cortec Corporation, the creation
of a reserve against the accounts receivable balance from Tianjin Zerust, the write-off of certain inventory and the asset impairment

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">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>

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: 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 38.1% during the
three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase was primarily a result
of an increase in sales of ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products, sales to joint ventures and sales of Natur-Tec&#174;
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">During the three months ended November 30, 2016, 83.3% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which increased 35.2% to $8,084,678 compared
to $5,977,682 for the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase was due to higher sales from existing customers for new
and existing products as a result of increased demand. NTIC has expanded 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 three months ended
November 30, 2016 included $746,331 of sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry compared to $340,239 for the three months
ended November 30, 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">During the three months ended November 30, 2016, 16.7% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 14.9% during the three months ended November
30, 2015. Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 54.5% during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the
three months ended November 30, 2015 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>

68.2% during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to 69.4% during the three months ended November 30, 2015 primarily
as a result of increased sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services in the oil and gas industry which carry higher margins than
NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST&#174; industrial products and services.</p>

to $1,274,004 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to $983,753 during the three months ended November 30, 2015.
This increase was primarily due to increases in profitability at the joint ventures. Total net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures
increased 10.7% to $24,200,447 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to $21,871,209 for the three months ended

during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to $4,703,787 for the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase
was primarily due to an increase in legal expenses in North America related to the litigation of $198,000 and an increase in operating
expenses at NTIC China of $118,000. Such expenses consisted primarily of selling and personnel expense associated with the increase
in sales in China.</p>

November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in connection with its research and development activities. NTIC anticipates that it
will spend a total of between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 in fiscal 2017 on research and development activities. This anticipated
significant decrease from fiscal 2016 is due to the transition of efforts from research and development to selling, general and
administrative areas, specifically as they relate to Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> and the ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> oil and gas business
since most of the expenses related to these business units are no longer in the research and development phase of product development.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Net income (loss) attributable to NTIC increased $531,990 to
$297,639, or $0.07, per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to net loss of $(234,351),
or $(0.05) per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of the
increase in gross profit, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses.</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 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Net Sales</i>. NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales increased
38.1% to $9,702,023 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2015. This
increase was primarily a result of an increase in sales of ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products, sales
to joint ventures and sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products. NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales to unaffiliated customers excluding
NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures increased 38.4% to $9,000,224 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the same
period in fiscal 2016. 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 increased 34.2% to $701,799 during the three
months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. This increase was primarily a result of higher demand
for ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and services.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">During the three months ended November 30, 2016, 83.3% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and services, which increased 35.2% to $8,084,678
during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to $5,977,682 during the same period in fiscal 2016. 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 increased
during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the prior fiscal year period primarily as a result of increased sales
to India. 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, specifically due to the volatility of oil prices.</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 months ended November 30, 2016, 16.7% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, which increased 54.5% to $1,617,345 during the three
months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2015. 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 35.6%
for the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2015. Cost of goods sold as a percentage
of net sales decreased slightly to 68.2% for the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to 69.4% for the three months ended
November 30, 2015 primarily as a result of increased sales of oil and gas products which carry higher margins than NTIC&#8217;s

during the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase was primarily a result of improved profitability at the joint ventures.
Of the total equity in income of joint ventures, NTIC had equity in income of joint ventures of $928,169 attributable to EXCOR

during the three months ended November 30, 2015, representing a decrease of $169,838, or 11.4%. Fee income for services provided
to joint ventures is traditionally a function of the sales made by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures. Total net sales of NTIC&#8217;s
joint ventures increased 10.7% to $24,200,447 during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to $21,871,209 for the three
months ended November 30, 2015. The decrease in fee income for services provided to joint ventures despite the increase in total
net sale of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures was primarily the result of the joint venture incurring the sales increases when compared
to royalty rates and expected payments.</p>

of product development. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 21.0% for the three months ended November

ended November&nbsp;30, 2016 compared to $316,994 during the three months ended November&nbsp;30, 2015. NTIC&#8217;s general and
administrative expenses also increased due to an increase in legal expenses in North America related to the litigation against
Cortec Corporation of $198,000. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 25.5% for the three
months ended November&nbsp;30, 2016 from 31.0% for the three months ended November 30, 2015 due primarily to the increase in net

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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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 2017, 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<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 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: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; 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, 2016 was $924,426, which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s equity
in income from joint ventures, a decrease in inventory and increases in trade receivables, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities,
and income tax payable, partially offset by NTIC&#8217;s net income, depreciation and amortization. Net cash used in operating
activities during the three months ended November 30, 2015 was $750,248, which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s equity in
income from joint ventures, a decrease in accrued liabilities and increases in receivables and prepaid expenses, partially offset

<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 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: 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, South 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">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 operations of NTIC China. NTIC has identified
some of these forward-looking statements in this report with words like &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;can,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221;
&#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;might,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;possible,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221;

or 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

the Japanese yen, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, South 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">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, Tao Meng 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.
Tao Meng 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>

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. NTIC and NTI Asean intend to bring a further motion to amend in order to add a claim
for punitive damages and to move the court for summary judgment.&nbsp; The case has been set for a mandatory settlement conference

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On January 11, 2017, NTIC, Bioplastic Polymers LLC and Dr. Narayan
entered into a consulting agreement which supersedes and replaces the oral agreements described above. Under the terms of the consulting
agreement, Dr. Narayan must personally provide certain consulting services to NTIC relating to NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; business
and bioplastics program. The consulting agreement sets out terms for clear separation between Dr. Narayan&#8217;s work at Michigan
State University (&#8220;University&#8221;) and any related University inventions and his work with NTIC and any related NTIC inventions.
In exchange for the consulting services, NTIC has agreed to pay Dr. Narayan $12,000 per month. The term of the consulting agreement
is five (5) years, and unless earlier terminated by the parties, will terminate on January 11, 2022. Either party may terminate
the consulting agreement earlier upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. The consulting agreement will terminate automatically
upon the death of Dr. Narayan or in the event of his disability that prevents him from performing the consulting services under
the agreement. The foregoing represents only a summary of the material terms of the consulting agreement, does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the consulting agreement, which is filed as Exhibit
10.2 to this report, and is incorporated by reference herein.</p>

a Party with the right, power, or authority to create or impose any duty or obligation on the other Party, it being intended that

the Consultant will furnish to NTIC a completed and fully executed IRS Form 4669 on or before April 15 of the year such request
is made by NTIC. The submission of such Form 4669 will not be deemed to create an employer-employee relationship. The Consultant

contractor and will cooperate in any inquiry and dispute regarding the Consultant&rsquo;s status as an independent contractor that
may arise from an IRS audit of NTIC.</P>

The new standard is effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s fiscal year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018,&lt;/div&gt; with prospective application.

The amendment takes effect for public entities for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December &lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; with early adoption available.

ASU No. &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&lt;/div&gt; is effective for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018,&lt;/div&gt; 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. &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&lt;/div&gt; 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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016,&lt;/div&gt; the FASB issued ASU No. &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07,&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x201c;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Investments &amp;#x2013; Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;323):&lt;/div&gt; Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting&lt;/div&gt;.&amp;#x201d; Among other things, the amendments in ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07&lt;/div&gt; 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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016.&lt;/div&gt; 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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07&lt;/div&gt; 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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016,&lt;/div&gt; the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09,&lt;/div&gt; &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 &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016,&lt;/div&gt; including interim periods within that year.

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.
