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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued <i>Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, Topic 606</i> (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09), which provides a framework for the recognition of
revenue, with the objective that recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for
goods and services. This guidance, which includes additional disclosure requirements regarding revenue, cash flows and obligations
related to contracts with customers, was originally to be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. In July 2015,
the FASB confirmed a one year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard which also allows early adoption as of
the original effective date. The updated guidance will be effective for the Company&#8217;s first quarter of 2019. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements, but believes there will be
no material impact.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, &#8220;<i>Inventory</i>,&#8221; which
modifies the subsequent measurement of inventories recorded under a first-in-first-out or average cost method. Under the new standard,
such inventories are required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new standard is effective for the
Company&#8217;s fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions of ASU
2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">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; and there was no material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.</p>

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

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; 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 currently assessing the
impact that ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by
the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements
has had or will have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial position or operating results.</p></div><p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Effective December 31, 2014, the Company terminated its joint venture agreements with
its previous joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust, began the process of liquidating the joint venture entity, and commenced operations
in China through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NTIC (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. on January 1, 2015. Effective December 31, 2014, the Company&#8217;s
investment in Tianjin Zerust 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has a revolving line of credit with PNC Bank of $3,000,000. No amounts were
outstanding under the line of credit as of both February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016. At the option of the Company, outstanding
advances under the line of credit bear interest at either (a) an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.15% for the applicable LIBOR
interest period selected by the Company or (b) at the rate publicly announced by PNC Bank from time to time as its prime rate.
Interest is payable in arrears (a) for the portion of advances bearing interest under the prime rate on 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 date. The revolving line of credit
is secured by cash, receivables and inventory.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">The revolving credit facility allows the Company to request that PNC Bank issue letters
of credit up to $1,200,000. The Company did not have any letters of credit reserved against the available letters of credit balance
as of February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016 with PNC Bank. The availability of advances under the line of credit will be reduced
by the face amount of any letter of credit issued and outstanding (whether or not drawn) under the revolving credit facility.&nbsp;</p>

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

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 $195,832 and $223,715 during the six months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively,

options not yet recognized in the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of operations was $435,232, net of estimated forfeitures.
Stock-based compensation expense of $195,832 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 February 28, 2017.

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 consider 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 financial statements for fiscal 2017. There
was $185,000 accrued for management bonuses for the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared to no accrual for management bonuses

that Cortec Corporation aided and abetted breaches of duties and contractual commitments owed to the Company and NTI Asean related
to the Company&#8217;s joint venture in China, Tianjin Zerust. On November 23, 2017, NTIC and NTI Asean moved for partial summary
judgment on their breach of contract claim. Cortec cross-moved for summary judgment on all NTIC&#8217;s and NTI Asean&#8217;s claims
and moved to dismiss the amended supplemental complaint for failure to join an indispensable party. On February 16, 2017, the Court
denied the parties&#8217; cross-motions for dispositive relief and <i>sua sponte</i> dismissed the Company&#8217;s and NTI Asean&#8217;s
claims based on a non-exclusive forum-selection clause contained in a settlement agreement between the parties. On March 9, 2017,
the Court denied the Company&#8217;s and NTI Asean&#8217;s request to move for reconsideration of the Court&#8217;s February 16,
2017 Order. The Company and NTI Asean are currently evaluating their options related to this litigation.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">From time to time, the Company is subject to various other claims and legal actions in
the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for costs related
to claims, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, where the Company has assessed that a loss is probable and
an amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable
estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. The Company
discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable
possibility that material loss may be have been incurred. In the opinion of management, as of February 28, 2017, the amount of
liability, if any, with respect to these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the Company&#8217;s
consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.</p></div><p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"></p>

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

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC develops and markets proprietary environmentally beneficial products and services
in over 60 countries either directly or via a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures, independent distributors and agents. NTIC&#8217;s
primary business is corrosion prevention marketed mainly under the ZERUST&#174; brand. NTIC has been selling its proprietary ZERUST&#174;
products and services to the automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical, military and retail consumer markets for over 40
years, and in recent years, has targeted and expanded into the oil and gas industry. NTIC also markets and sells a portfolio of
biobased and certified compostable (fully biodegradable) polymer resin compounds and finished products under the Natur-Tec&#174;
brand. These products are intended to reduce NTIC&#8217;s customers&#8217; carbon footprint and provide environmentally sound waste
disposal options.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s ZERUST<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 its joint venture partners through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany, NTIC Europe GmbH (NTI Europe).</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">One of NTIC&#8217;s strategic initiatives is to expand into and penetrate other markets
for its ZERUST<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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

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

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Natur-Tec<sup>&#174;</sup> 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<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>

terminated its joint venture agreements with Tianjin-Zerust Anticorrosion Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Zerust). NTIC and NTI Asean LLC have

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC participates in 20 active joint venture arrangements in North America, Europe and
Asia. Each of these joint ventures generally manufactures and markets products in the geographic territory to which it is assigned.
While most of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures exclusively sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products, some of the joint ventures also
sell NTIC&#8217;s Natur-Tec&#174; resin compounds. NTIC has historically funded its investments in joint ventures with cash generated
from operations.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s receipt of funds from its joint ventures is dependent upon fees for services
that NTIC provides to its joint ventures, based primarily on the net sales of the individual joint ventures, and NTIC&#8217;s receipt
of dividend distributions from the joint ventures. The fees for services provided to joint ventures are determined based on either
a flat fee or a percentage of sales depending on local laws and tax regulations. With respect to NTIC&#8217;s joint venture in
Germany (EXCOR), NTIC recognizes an agreed upon quarterly fee for such services. NTIC recognizes equity income from its joint ventures
based on the overall profitability of its joint ventures. Such profitability is subject to variability from quarter to quarter
which, in turn, subjects NTIC&#8217;s earnings to variability from quarter to quarter. The profits of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures
are shared by the respective joint venture owners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages. NTIC typically directly
or indirectly owns 50% or less of each of its joint venture entities and thus does not control the decisions of these entities
regarding whether to pay dividends and, if paid, how much they should be in a given year. The payment of a dividend by an entity
is determined by a joint vote of the owners and is not at the sole discretion of NTIC.</p>

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

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales increased 13.5% and 25.2% during the three and six
months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended February 29, 2016. These increases were
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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, 82.7% and 83.0% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which increased 13.2% and 23.9%
to $7,228,027 and $15,312,705 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to $6,385,337 and
$12,363,019 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively. These increases were 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 six months ended February 28, 2017 included $952,240 of sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry compared to $717,570
for the six months ended February 29, 2016. 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 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, 17.3% and 17.0%, of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 17.1% and 16.1% during the three and six
months ended February 29, 2016, respectively. Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 14.8% and 32.4% during the three and
six months ended February 28, 2017 compared to the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively. These increases
were primarily due to an increase in finished product sales in North America and finished product sales at NTIC&#8217;s majority-owned
subsidiary in India, Natur-Tec India Private Limited (Natur-Tec India).</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 67.1% during the three months
ended February 28, 2017 compared to 68.4% during the three months ended February 29, 2016 and decreased to 67.7% during the six
months ended February 28, 2017 compared to 68.9% during the prior fiscal year period. These decreases were primarily due to 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>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s equity in income of joint ventures increased 45.2% and 37.2% to $1,383,139

the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively. These increases were primarily due to increases in profitability
at the joint ventures. Total net sales of NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures increased 14.1% and 12.3% to $22,962,599 and $47,163,046
during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to $20,129,215 and $42,000,424 for the three and
six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively. These increases were due primarily to higher sales from existing customers for
new and existing products as a result of increased demand.</p>

the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared to the six months ended February 29, 2016. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in legal expenses in North America related to the litigation against Cortec Corporation of $250,000 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. Additionally, there was a management bonus accrual of $185,000 made during the six months ended
February 28, 2017 compared to no bonus accrual for the six months ended February 29, 2016.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC spent $1,384,559 and $2,117,622 of expense during the six months ended February
28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively, in connection with its research and development activities. NTIC anticipates that
it will spend between $2,200,000 and $2,800,000 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Net income attributable to NTIC increased $494,755 to $386,966, or $0.09, per diluted
common share, for the three months ended February 28, 2017 compared to net loss of $(107,789), or $(0.02) per diluted common share,
for the three months ended February 29, 2016. Net income attributable to NTIC increased 300.1%, to $684,605, or $0.15 per diluted
common share, for the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared to net loss attributable to NTIC of $(342,140), or $(0.08) per
diluted common share, for the six months ended February 29, 2016. These increases were primarily the result of the increase in
gross profit, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC anticipates that its quarterly net income or loss will continue to remain subject
to significant volatility primarily due to the financial performance of its subsidiaries and joint ventures and sales of its ZERUST&#174;
products and services into the oil and gas industry and Natur-Tec&#174; bioplastics products, which sales fluctuate more on a quarterly
basis than the traditional ZERUST&#174; business. NTIC also anticipates that its operating results during the next few quarters
will be particularly volatile as a result of the changes in its Chinese operations.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s working capital was $15,364,837 at February 28, 2017, including $3,048,948
in cash and cash equivalents and $748,254 in available for sale securities, compared to $16,948,069 at August 31, 2016, including

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Net Sales</i>. NTIC&#8217;s consolidated net sales increased 13.5% and 25.2% to $8,742,903
and $18,444,926, during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended
February 29, 2016. These increases were 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 16.6% and 27.1% to $8,309,586 and $17,191,551 during the three and six
months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to the same respective prior fiscal year periods. These increases were primarily
a result of increased demand from the addition of new customers at NTI China and an increase in sale of our Natur-Tec&#174; products.
Net sales to joint ventures decreased 36.0% and increased 4.4% to $433,317 and $1,253,375 during the three and six months ended
February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to the same respective prior fiscal year periods. These changes were primarily the result
of the timing of shipments during the quarter and at quarter end.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, 82.7% and 83.0% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and services, which increased
13.2% and 23.9% to $7,228,027 and $15,312,705 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to
$6,385,337 and $12,363,019 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, 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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s net sales to the oil and gas industry sector decreased during the three
months ended February 28, 2017 compared to the prior fiscal year period primarily as a result of volatility in that sector and
the timing of projects. NTIC&#8217;s net sales to the oil and gas industry sector increased during the six months ended February
28, 2017 compared to the prior fiscal year period primarily as a result of increased sales to India as a result of increased demand.
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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">During the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, 17.3% and 17.0% of NTIC&#8217;s
consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, which increased 14.8% and 32.4% to $1,514,876
and $3,132,221 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended
February 29, 2016. Such increases were due to the addition of new customers in North America and India as well as increased sales
by existing distributors. Demand for Natur-Tec&#174; products around the world depends primarily on market acceptance and the reach
of NTIC&#8217;s distribution network. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size of NTIC&#8217;s net sales
derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, the timing of one or more orders can materially affect NTIC&#8217;s quarterly sales
of Natur-Tec&#174; products and the comparisons to prior fiscal year quarters.</p>

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Cost of Goods Sold</i>. Cost of goods sold increased 11.4% and 23.1% for the three
and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended February 29, 2016. These increases
were primarily as a result of the corresponding increased sales levels. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased
to 67.1% during the three months ended February 28, 2017 compared to 68.4% the three months ended February 29, 2016 and decreased
to 67.7% during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared to 68.9% during the six months ended February 29, 2016. These decreases
were primarily as a result of increased net sales and cost reductions realized on the raw materials associated with NTIC&#8217;s
ZERUST&#174; industrial products.</p>

the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in fiscal 2016 due to the
transition of focus from research and development to selling, 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. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 25.7% and 23.2% for the
three and six months ended February 28, 2017, respectively, from 19.1% and 20.4% during the three and six months ended February

now relate to general and administrative focus, 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. 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. NTIC incurred expense of $477,000 during the six months
ended February 28, 2017, compared to $221,000 during the six months ended February 29, 2016. As a percentage of net sales, general

months ended February 28, 2017, from 27.0%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for
the three and six-month comparison was due primarily to the increase in net sales, partially offset by the increase in general

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. To take advantage of such new product and market opportunities
to expand its business and increase its revenues, NTIC may decide to finance such opportunities by borrowing under its revolving
line of credit or raising additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities. There is no assurance that any
financing transaction will be available on terms acceptable to NTIC or at all, or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive
to NTIC&#8217;s current stockholders.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC traditionally has used the cash generated from its operations, distributions of
earnings and fees for services provided to its joint ventures to fund NTIC&#8217;s new technology investments and capital contributions
to new and existing joint ventures. NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures traditionally have operated with little or no debt and have been
self-financed with minimal initial capital investment and minimal additional capital investment from their respective owners. Therefore,
NTIC believes it is not likely that there exists any exposure to debt by NTIC&#8217;s joint ventures that could materially impact
their respective operations and/or liquidity.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"><i>Uses of Cash and Cash Flows</i>. Net cash used in operating activities during the
six months ended February 28, 2017 was $823,425, which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from joint ventures,
dividends received from joint ventures, increases in trade receivables, inventory, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities, and income
tax payable, partially offset by NTIC&#8217;s net income, depreciation and amortization. Net cash provided by operating activities
during the six months ended February 29, 2016 was $1,248,810, which resulted principally from NTIC&#8217;s equity in income from
joint ventures, dividends from joint ventures, a decrease in accrued liabilities and increases in receivables and prepaid expenses,
partially offset by depreciation and amortization.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC&#8217;s cash flows from operations are impacted by significant changes in certain
components of NTIC&#8217;s working capital, including inventory turnover and changes in receivables. NTIC considers internal and
external factors when assessing the use of its available working capital, specifically when determining inventory levels and credit
terms of customers. Key internal factors include existing inventory levels, stock reorder points, customer forecasts and customer
requested payment terms, and key external factors include the availability of primary raw materials and sub-contractor production
lead times. NTIC&#8217;s typical contractual terms for trade receivables excluding joint ventures are traditionally 30 days and
for trade receivables from its joint ventures are 90 days. Before extending unsecured credit to customers, excluding NTIC&#8217;s
joint ventures, NTIC reviews customers&#8217; credit histories and will establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts based
upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Accounts receivable over 30 days are considered
past due for most customers. NTIC does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. If accounts receivables in excess of
the provided allowance are determined uncollectible, they are charged to selling expense in the period that determination is made.
Accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible based on NTIC exhausting reasonable efforts to collect. NTIC&#8217;s typical contractual
terms for receivables for services provided to its joint ventures are 90 days. NTIC records receivables for services provided to
its joint ventures on an accrual basis, unless circumstances exist that make the collection of the balance uncertain in which case
the fee income will be recorded on a cash basis until there is consistency in payments. This determination is handled on a case
by case basis.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">NTIC experienced an increase in trade receivables and inventory as of February 28, 2017
compared to August 31, 2016. Trade receivables excluding joint ventures as of February 28, 2017 increased $1,161,166 compared to
August 31, 2016, primarily related to the timing of collections and the increase in sales. Outstanding trade receivables excluding
joint ventures balances as of February 28, 2017 increased 15 days to an average of 65 days from balances outstanding from these
customers as of August 31, 2016. Outstanding trade receivables from joint ventures as of February 28, 2017 decreased $329,321 compared
to August 31, 2016 primarily due to the timing of payments. Outstanding balances from trade receivables from joint ventures decreased
as of February 28, 2017 by an average of 20 days from an average of 96 days from balances outstanding from these customers compared
to August 31, 2016. The significant average days outstanding of trade receivables from joint ventures as of February 28, 2017 were
primarily due to the receivables balances at NTIC&#8217;s joint venture in South Korea.</p>

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

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#8217;s foreign operations and investments in
its foreign joint ventures is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from
transactions in the normal course of business. NTIC&#8217;s principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese yen,
Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, 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>

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 28, 2017, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</p>

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

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">Because the functional currency of NTIC&#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>

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 28, 2017, NTIC had no borrowings under the line of credit.</p>

required to be disclosed by NTIC in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On March 23, 2015, NTIC and NTI Asean LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary of NTIC, filed
a lawsuit in Tianjin No 1 Intermediate People&#8217;s Court against two individuals, 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>

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

<p style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0">On April 21, 2015, NTIC and NTI Asean initiated a lawsuit in the District Court for the
Second Judicial District, County of Ramsey, State of Minnesota against Cortec Corporation alleging, among other things, that Cortec
Corporation aided and abetted breaches of duties and contractual commitments owed to NTIC 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 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, which also did not result
in a settlement. Fact discovery closed on September 23, 2016. On October 10, 2016, NTIC and NTI Asean moved the court for permission
to amend their amended supplemental complaint to assert a claim for punitive damages. On November 23, 2017, NTIC and NTI Asean
moved for partial summary judgment on their breach of contract claim. Cortec cross-moved for summary judgment on all of NTIC&#8217;s
and NTI Asean&#8217;s claims and moved to dismiss the amended supplemental complaint for failure to join an indispensable party.
On February 16, 2017, the Court denied the parties&#8217; cross-motions for dispositive relief and <i>sua sponte</i> dismissed
NTIC&#8217;s and NTI Asean&#8217;s claims based on a non-exclusive forum-selection clause contained in a settlement agreement between
the parties. On March 9, 2017, the Court denied NTIC&#8217;s and NTI Asean&#8217;s request to move for reconsideration of the Court&#8217;s
February 16, 2017 Order. NTIC and NTI Asean are currently evaluating their options related to this litigation.&nbsp;</p>

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-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; 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 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 <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> December</div> <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">15,</div> <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2016.</div> 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.
