NORTHERN TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES -  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.          INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, and present fairly the consolidated financial position of Northern Technologies International Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of November 30, 2006 and the results of their operations for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and November 30, 2005 and their cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and November 30, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Companys annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 and with the Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation section appearing in this quarterly report.  Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2007.

2.          RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects on Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify errors using both the income statement method (i.e. iron curtain method) and the rollover method and requires adjustment if either method indicates a material error. If a correction in the current year relating to prior year errors is material to the current year, then the prior year financial information needs to be corrected. A correction to the prior year results that are not material to those years, would not require a restatement process where prior financials would be amended. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that SAB 108 will have a material effect on its
consolidated financial statements.

3.          STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, FASB published FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment.  FAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.  FAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.  FAS 123(R) is a replacement of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretive guidance.  The effect of the Statement is to require entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on
the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.   Compensation cost under SFAS 123(R) is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the expected vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period.  In addition, pursuant to SFAS 123(R), we are required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating the compensation costs, instead of accounting for forfeitures as incurred, which was our previous method.    All of our options previously awarded were classified as equity instruments and continue to maintain their equity classification under SFAS 123(R). FAS 123(R) permits entities to use any option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the Statement.  The Company implemented FAS 123(R) on September 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method.

During the three months ended November 30, 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 14,000 shares of its common stock. 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 volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on historical stock price fluctuations and risk free interest rate are based on U.S. treasury rates appropriate for expected term. Based on these valuations, the Company recognized compensation expense of $44,793 with an effect on earnings per share of $0.01 for the three months ended November 30, 2006, related to the options that vested during that quarter.  The Company estimates that there will be no additional compensation expense relating to these option grants for the remainder of fiscal year 2007.  As of November 30, 2006, the total compensation cost for nonvested options not yet recognized in the
Companys statements of operations was $45,813, net of estimated forfeitures.  $38,874 and $6,939 are expected to be recognized during the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized.

The fair value of the options granted during the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

14.NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income per share assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method, if dilutive.

No options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents as of November 30, 2006.

Options to purchase 3,000 and 334 shares of common stock with per share exercise prices of $6.15 and $5.96, respectively, were outstanding as of November 30, 2005, but were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents, because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of a share of common stock during the quarter.

15.         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company currently has one stock-based compensation plan under which it grants stock options and other stock-based awards, the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan).  The Companys Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Plan and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the Plan.  Under the Plan, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock bonuses and other stock-based awards could be granted to directors, officers, non-officer employees, and independent consultants of the Company.  Options granted under the Plan generally have a term of five years and become exercisable over a three- or four-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary date of the grant.  Options are granted at per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.

In November 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved a new 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and a new Employee Stock Purchase Plan, both of which will be submitted to the Companys stockholders for their consideration and approval at the Companys 2007 annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on January 23, 2007.  The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of up to a total of 400,000 incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock unit awards, performance awards and stock bonuses to eligible recipients to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation in the Company, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of the Companys economic objectives.  The Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides for purchase of up to 100,000 common shares for employees of the
Company to purchase on a periodic basis through payroll deductions at a 10% discount to the fair market value of the Companys common stock. If the Companys stockholders approve the new 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, it will replace the Companys 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, which will be terminated with respect to future grants upon the effectiveness of the new 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at November 30, 2006:

The Company is involved in a legal action in Finland whereby the Company sued a Finnish company for trademark infringement.  The Company won the initial case, but has subsequently lost on appeal.  The Company is currently appealing the latest court decision.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This Managements Discussion and Analysis provides material historical and prospective disclosures intended to enable investors and other users to assess NTICs financial condition and results of operations.  Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties discussed under the captions Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors appearing elsewhere in this report.  The following discussion of the results of the operations and financial condition of NTIC should be read in conjunction with NTICs consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included under Part I, Item 1 entitled Financial Statements of this report.

Overview

NTIC focuses on developing, marketing and selling proprietary environmentally responsible materials science based products and technical services directly and via a network of independent distributors, manufacturer sales representatives and joint ventures in over 50 countries.  NTIC manufactures, markets and sells primarily rust and corrosion inhibiting products and services for automotive, electronics, electrical, mechanical and military applications, sold under the brand names Zerust® and EXCOR®.  NTIC also offers direct, worldwide on-site technical support on rust and corrosion issues.  In North America, NTIC markets its technical service and Zerust® products principally to industrial users by a direct sales force and through a network of independent distributors and sales representatives.  NTICs technical service representatives work directly with the end users of NTICs products to analyze their specific needs and
develop systems to meet their technical requirements.

NTIC participates, either directly or indirectly through holding companies, in approximately 30 corporate joint venture arrangements in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.  Each of these joint ventures manufactures, markets and sells finished products generally in the countries to which it is assigned.  NTICs joint venture partners are knowledgeable in the applicable environmental, labor, tax and other requisite regulations and laws of the respective foreign countries in which they operate, as well as the local customs and business practices. While most of NTICs joint ventures currently sell rust and corrosion inhibiting products and custom packaging systems, NTIC also has joint ventures that manufacture, market and sell bio-based additives with both industrial and personal care applications, plastic recycling technology and electronic sensing instruments.

React-NTI LLC is an industrial chemical corporate joint venture of NTIC that focuses on the development, manufacture and marketing of proprietary lines of bio-based additives with both industrial and personal care applications.  Based on cotton, soy, corn and other renewable resources, React-NTI products outperform many synthetically derived competing alternatives.  React-NTIs target market includes NTICs existing industrial customer base, as well as the personal care and cosmetics industry.  As of February 28, 2005, NTIC began fully consolidating this 75% owned subsidiary, which was previously accounted for using the equity method.

NTIC conducts all foreign transactions based on the U.S. dollar, except for its investments in various foreign corporate joint ventures.  The exchange rate differential relating to investments in foreign corporate joint ventures is accounted for under the requirements of SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation.

NTICs net sales increased 4.9% during the three months ended November 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of the increase in net sales of traditional Zerust® products and of React-NTI products to new and existing customers in North America.    Net sales of traditional Zerust® products increased $33,205 to $3,023,384 during the three months ended November 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.  Net sales of React-NTI products increased $180,540 to $1,593,990 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.

15



Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 63.8% during the three months ended November 30, 2006 as compared to 62.0% during same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of an increase in raw material prices, including in particular, plastic resins and a varying sale product mix.

Total net sales of all of NTICs joint ventures increased 14.2% to $18,879,432 during the three months ended November 30, 2006 as compared to $16,535,347 the same period in fiscal 2006.  NTIC receives fees for technical and other support services it provides to its joint ventures based on the revenues of the individual joint ventures.  NTIC recognized an increase in fee income for such technical and support services during the three months ended November 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 due to the increase in total net sales of the joint ventures.  NTIC incurs direct expenses related to its corporate joint ventures and holding companies.  Such expenses include consulting, travel, technical and marketing services to existing joint ventures, legal fees incurred in the establishment of new joint ventures, registration and promotion and legal defense of worldwide trademarks, and legal fees incurred in connection with the
filing of patent applications. NTIC incurred increased direct expenses related to its corporate joint ventures and the holding companies during the three months ended November 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 due primarily to the increased number of employees and an increase in legal expenses.

NTICs net income for the three months ended November 30, 2006 increased to $990,224 as compared to $633,985 for the three months ended November 30, 2005 and net income per common share, basic and diluted, increased to $0.27 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to $0.18 for the three months ended November 30, 2005 primarily as a result of the gain on the sale of assets partially offset by the decrease in equity in income of industrial chemical corporate joint ventures.

NTICs working capital was $2,454,282 at November 30, 2006, including $507,017 in cash and cash equivalents.  In August 2006, NTIC increased its existing $1,000,000 revolving credit facility with National City Bank to $1,500,000.  As of November 30, 2006, NTIC had borrowed $1,253,000 under the revolving credit facility.      The revolving credit facility expires on January 31, 2007.  NTIC intends to renew or replace this facility on or prior to the January 31, 2007 maturity date.

NTIC elected not to pay a cash dividend in fiscal 2006, based on fiscal 2005 results, or thus far in fiscal 2007, based on fiscal 2006 results, in order to preserve cash and make investments in future operations.  NTIC expects to meet its future liquidity requirements during at least the next twelve months by using its existing cash and cash equivalents, forecasted cash flows from future operations, distributions of earnings and technical assistance fees to NTIC from its joint venture investments and funds available through existing or anticipated financing arrangements.

Net Sales and Cost of Sales.  NTICs net sales originating in the United States increased during the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of an increase in the demand for Zerust® products sold to existing customers and an increase in the demand for React-NTI products sold to an existing customer in North America.  Cost of sales increased as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of an increase in petroleum based raw material prices.

16



Selling Expenses.  NTICs selling expenses increased for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared the same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of increases in (i) communication expense of $13,000, (ii) trade show expense of $10,000, (iii) salaries, commissions and related employee benefits of $24,000, (iv) travel expense of $23,000 and (v) expense related to the sale of React products of $26,000.  These increases were partially offset by decreases in (i) consulting expenses of $10,000.  Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased slightly for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of the changes in spending as described above.

General and Administrative Expenses.  NTICs general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of increases in (i) information technology expenses of $74,000, (ii) insurance expense of $13,000, (iii) legal expenses of $22,000, (iv) travel expense of $17,000, (v) consulting expenses of $11,000, and (vi) depreciation expense of 23,000.  These increases were partially offset by decreases in (i) salaries and benefits of $10,000 and (ii) directors fees and expenses of $11,000.  As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased slightly for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of the changes in spending as described above.  The Company anticipates these expenses to continue into the future.

Lab and Technical Support Expenses.  NTICs lab and technical support expenses increased slightly for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 primarily due to (i) travel expense of $5,000 and (ii) lab supplies of $6,000.  As a percentage of net sales, lab and technical support expenses increased slightly for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to same period in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of the changes in spending as described above.

International Corporate Joint Ventures and Holding Companies.  NTIC continues its business program of establishing corporate joint venture arrangements in international markets directly or indirectly through holding companies. NTIC and/or an existing corporate joint venture manufactures and supplies proprietary ingredients, which make the finished products functional and enable manufacturing of the finished products to take place in the foreign countries.  NTICs corporate joint ventures then market the finished products in their territories, and NTICs corporate joint ventures profits are shared by the corporate joint venture shareholders in accordance with their ownership percentages of the joint venture entity.

NTIC had equity in income of industrial chemical and non-chemical corporate joint ventures and holding companies of $635,219 and $729,518 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  This decrease in equity in income for the three month period was due specifically to expenses that resulted in poor quarterly results at two joint ventures compared to the previous fiscal year.

NTIC receives fees for technical and other support to NTICs corporate joint ventures based on the revenues of the individual corporate joint ventures.  NTIC recognized fee income for such support in the amounts of $1,132,841 and $1,114,060 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NTIC sponsors a worldwide corporate joint venture conference approximately every three to four years in which all of its corporate joint ventures are invited to participate.  NTIC defers a portion of its technical and other support fees received from its corporate joint ventures in each accounting period leading up to the next conference, reflecting that NTIC has not fully earned the payments received during that period.  The next corporate joint venture conference is scheduled to be held in 2008.  There was $120,000 of deferred income recorded within other accrued liabilities at November 30, 2006, related to this future conference.  The costs associated with these joint venture conferences are offset against the deferral as incurred, generally in the period in which the conference is held and immediately before.

NTIC incurred direct expenses related to its corporate joint ventures and the holding companies of $1,316,249 and $1,165,584 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  These expenses include: product and business development, consulting, travel, technical and marketing services to existing joint ventures, legal fees regarding the establishment of new joint ventures, registration and promotion and legal defense of worldwide trademarks and legal fees incurred in the filing of patent applications for new technologies to which NTIC acquired certain rights.  The increase in direct expenses incurred relating to NTICs corporate joint ventures and holding companies for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was attributable to increases in (i) legal fees of $130,000, (ii) travel expenses of $10,000 and (iii) lab testing and supplies expense of $37,000.  These increases were
partially offset by decreases in (i) consulting expense of $19,000. As a percentage of net sales, direct expenses incurred relating to NTICs corporate joint ventures and holding companies increased for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to the same respective period in fiscal 2006, primarily as a result of the changes in spending as described above.

Interest Income.  NTICs interest income decreased to $935 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to $26,801 for the same period in fiscal 2006 due to a lower average invested cash balances during the most recent period.

Interest Expense.  NTICs interest expense increased to $42,881 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to $3,649 for the same period in fiscal 2006 due to a higher average outstanding debt and an increase in interest rates during the most recent period.

Gain on sale of assets.  NTIC recognized a gain on the sale of land, building and equipment that previously served as NTICs corporate headquarters of $724,495 during the three months ended November 30, 2006.  This was a one-time sale and no additional gain is anticipated to be recognized relating to the building in the future.

Income Before Income Tax Expense.  Income before income taxes increased $216,239 to $1,122,224 for the three months ended November 30, 2006 compared to $905,984 for the same period in fiscal 2006.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005 was calculated based on managements estimate of NTICs annual effective income tax rate.  NTICs annual effective income tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to NTICs equity in income of corporate joint ventures being recognized based on after-tax earnings of these entities.  To the extent joint ventures undistributed earnings are distributed to NTIC, it is not expected to result in any material additional income tax liability after the application of foreign tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Cash and Working Capital.  As of November 30, 2006, NTICs working capital was $2,454,282 with $507,017 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of $2,221,334, including $299,117 in cash and cash equivalents, as of August 31, 2006.

NTIC has a revolving credit facility that expires on January 31, 2007.  Outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facility bear interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.25%.  As of November 30, 2006, the interest rate was 7.49%.  Amounts borrowed under the facility are collateralized by a lien on substantially all of NTICs assets, excluding its corporate joint venture interests and intellectual property rights.  The credit documents contain other terms and provisions (including representations, covenants and conditions) customary for transactions of this type. Significant financial covenants include minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.  Other covenants include a prohibition on any merger or consolidation without prior consent of the lender and restrictions on future credit extensions and non-equity investments and the incurrence of additional indebtedness without the lenders prior consent. NTIC is in
compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.  The facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal or other amounts when due; breach of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross-default and/or cross-acceleration to other indebtedness; non-compliance with laws; certain voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy events;

18



judgments entered against NTIC; and a sale of material assets. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lender may, among other things, terminate its obligations thereunder and require NTIC to repay all amounts thereunder.  Outstanding balances under the revolving credit facility were $1,253,000 and $610,000 as of November 30, 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively.  The increase in the utilization of the line of credit is  a result of the cash needed to finance the renovations to the new corporate headquarters.  The line of credit is subject to a borrowing base calculation and at November 30, 2006, NTIC had $247,000 in available credit under the line.

NTIC believes that a combination of its existing cash and cash equivalents, funds available through existing or anticipated financing arrangements and forecasted cash flows, will continue to be adequate to fund its operations, capital expenditures, debt repayments and stock repurchases for at least the next twelve months.

Uses of Cash and Cash Flows.  Cash flows used in operations for the three months ended November 30, 2006 was $265,279, which resulted principally from net income, depreciation and amortization expense, inventories and accounts payable being offset by equity income of corporate joint ventures, trade excluding corporate joint ventures, prepaid expenses, gain on sale of assets and accrued liabilities.  Cash flows used in operations for the three months ended November 30, 2005 was $94,505, which resulted principally from equity income of corporate joint ventures, trade excluding corporate joint ventures, prepaid expenses and inventories, being offset by net income, depreciation and amortization expense, accounts payable, technical receivables from corporate joint ventures, income taxes and accrued liabilities.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2006 was $135,698, which resulted from additions to property and equipment and industrial patents, offset by proceeds from the sale of assets and dividends received from corporate joint ventures.  Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2005 was $604,560, which resulted from dividends received from corporate joint ventures and cash received from loans, offset by loans made, additions to property and equipment and industrial patents.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2006 was $337,481, which resulted primarily from the borrowings on the line of credit, offset by bank overdrafts.  Net cash used in financing activities the three months ended November 30, 2005 was $786,249, which resulted primarily from borrowing on the line of credit, partially offset by repayment of a note payable.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments.  NTIC has no material lease commitments as of November 30, 2006, except a lease agreement entered into by NTI Facilities, Inc., a subsidiary of NTIC, for approximately 16,994 square feet of office, manufacturing, laboratory and warehouse space in Beachwood, Ohio, requiring monthly payments of $17,500, which are adjusted annually according to the annual consumer price index, through November 2014.  NTIC has no postretirement benefit plan and does not anticipate establishing any postretirement benefit program.

NTIC recently moved its corporate headquarters.  NTIC purchased the real estate and 40,000 square feet building in which its new corporate headquarters is located pursuant to a like-kind exchange transaction within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for a purchase price of $1,475,000. To finance the transaction, NTIC obtained a secured term loan in the principal amount of $1,275,000.  The term loan matures on May 1, 2011, bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.01% and is payable in 59 monthly installments equal to approximately $10,776 (inclusive of principal and interest) commencing June 1, 2006.  All of the remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest is due and payable on the maturity date.  The loan is secured by a first lien on the real estate and building.

NTIC sold the real property and building in which NTICs former Lino Lakes corporate headquarters was located for a purchase price of $870,000 on September 8, 2006.  The net book value of the building held for sale was $89,636 and the closing costs and fees associated with the sale of the property was $46,571.  The gain on sale of the property was $724,495 and are reflected in NTICs first quarter fiscal 2007 financial results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

NTIC does not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet financial arrangements. As such, NTIC is not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if NTIC had engaged in such arrangements.

In fiscal 1999, a subsidiary of NTIC, NTI Facilities, Inc., acquired a one-third ownership of Omni-Northern Ltd., which owns and operates a rental property located at 23205 Mercantile Road, Beachwood, Ohio.  The property has an approximate value of $2,205,000, based upon the cash-to-mortgage acquisition price of the property paid in fiscal 2000.  NTIC has guaranteed up to $329,082 of Omni-Northern Ltd.s $1,903,571 mortgage obligation with National City Bank, Cleveland, Ohio.  The building is fully leased at present.

Inflation and Seasonality

Inflation in the U.S. and abroad has historically had little effect on NTIC.  NTICs business has not historically been seasonal.

Market Risk

NTIC is exposed to some market risk stemming from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.

NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from its investments in its foreign corporate joint ventures and holding companies since NTICs fees for technical support and other services and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies.  NTICs principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese yen, Korean won and the English pound against the U.S. dollar.  NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.  Since NTICs investments in its corporate joint ventures and holding companies are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change the equity in income of joint ventures and holding companies reflected in the consolidated statement of income.

Some raw materials used in NTICs products are exposed to commodity price changes.  The primary commodity price exposures are with a variety of plastic resins.

NTICs revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate based on LIBOR and thus may subject NTIC to some market risk on interest rates, $1,253,000 was outstanding under this facility as of November 30, 2006.

Related Party Transactions

See note 18 to NTICs consolidated financial statements for disclosure regarding related party transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of NTICs consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined a companys most critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, NTIC has

20



identified the following critical accounting policies. Although NTIC believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available when they are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Investments in Corporate Joint Ventures

NTICs investments in corporate joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, except for React-NTI LLC which has been fully consolidated, due to the adoption of FIN 46R. Periodically, NTIC evaluates the investments for any impairment and assesses the future cash flow projections to determine if there are any going concern issues.  If an investment were determined to be impaired, then a reserve would be created to reflect the impairment on the financial results of NTIC.  NTICs evaluation of its investments in corporate joint ventures requires NTIC to make assumptions about future cash flows of its corporate joint ventures.  These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts.  NTICs investments in corporate joint ventures were $11,840,314 and $10,772,102 as of November 30, 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

NTIC values accounts and notes receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, NTIC prepares an analysis of its ability to collect outstanding receivables that provides a basis for an allowance estimate for doubtful accounts.  In doing so, NTIC evaluates the age of its receivables, past collection history, current financial conditions of key customers, and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, NTIC establishes a reserve for specific accounts and notes receivable that it believes are uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables not specifically known.  A deterioration in the financial condition of any key customer or a significant slow down in the economy could have a material negative impact on NTICs ability to collect a portion or all of the accounts and notes receivable. NTIC believes that an analysis of historical trends and its current knowledge of potential collection problems provide NTIC
with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for an allowance for doubtful accounts. However, since NTIC cannot predict with certainty future changes in the financial stability of its customers, NTICs actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from its estimates. In the event NTIC determined that a smaller or larger uncollectible accounts reserve is appropriate, NTIC would record a credit or charge to selling expense in the period that it made such a determination. Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $10,311 and $10,000 at November 30, 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

In recognizing revenue, NTIC applies the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition.  NTIC recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  These criteria are met at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title pass to the customer or distributor.

Foreign Currency Translation (Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income)

The functional currency of each international corporate joint venture is the applicable local currency.  The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average monthly exchange rate.  Translation gains or losses are reported as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, FASB published FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment.  FAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.  FAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.  FAS 123(R) is a replacement of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretive guidance.  The effect of the Statement is to require entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on
the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.  FAS 123(R) permits entities to use any option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the Statement.  NTIC implemented FAS 123(R) on September 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In addition, NTIC or others on NTICs behalf may make forward-looking statements from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone conferences, in press releases or reports, on NTICs Internet web site or otherwise.  Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and reflect expectations and assumptions.  NTIC tries to identify forward-looking statements in this report and elsewhere by using words such as may, will, should, expects, anticipates, contemplates, estimates, believes, plans, projected, predicts, potential or
continue or the negative of these or similar terms.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.  These uncertainties include factors that affect all businesses as well as matters specific to NTIC.  NTIC cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement that speaks only as of the date made and to recognize that forward-looking statements are predictions of future results, which may not occur as anticipated.  Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to the risks and uncertainties described below under the heading Risk Factors, as well as others that NTIC may consider immaterial or does not anticipate at this time.  The risks and uncertainties described below under the heading Risk Factors are not exclusive and further information concerning NTIC and its business, including factors that potentially could materially affect its financial
results or condition, may emerge from time to time.  NTIC assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.  NTIC advises you, however, to consult any further disclosures it may make on related subjects in its future quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and current reports on Form 8-K it files with or furnishes to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Risk Factors

The following are the most significant factors known to NTIC that could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition or operating results.

Over 19 percent of NTICs consolidated net sales, not including sales made at the various corporate joint venture, are generated outside of the U.S. and NTIC intends to continue to expand its international operations.  NTICs international operations require management attention and financial resources and expose NTIC to difficulties presented by international economic, political, legal, accounting and business factors.

NTIC offers direct on-site technical support on rust and corrosion issues in over 50 countries, and operates a marketing, distribution, and technical network through joint ventures in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.  NTICs consolidated net sales, not including the corporate joint venture sales, outside the United States were 19.8% of its total consolidated net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 20.3% of its total consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006.  One of NTICs strategic objectives is to expand its international operations.

22



NTIC has recently entered into joint ventures in Australia, the Ukraine, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.  The expansion of NTICs existing international operations and entry into additional international markets requires management attention and financial resources. Many of the countries in which NTIC sells its products directly or indirectly through its corporate joint ventures, are, to some degree, subject to political, economic and/or social instability.  NTICs international operations expose NTIC and its joint venture partners, representatives, agents and distributors to risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions.  These risks include:

| |  | difficulties in managing   and staffing international operations and the required infrastructure costs   including legal, tax, accounting, information technology;

NTIC cannot assure you that one or more of the factors listed above will not harm its business.  Any material decrease in NTICs international sales could adversely influence NTICs operating results.

NTICs liquidity and financial position rely on dividend distributions from its corporate joint ventures, which if such dividends cease or are reduced could adversely affect NTICs liquidity and financial position.

NTICs liquidity and financial position rely on dividend distributions from its corporate joint ventures.  Because NTIC typically owns only 50% of its joint venture entities, NTIC does not control the decisions of these entities regarding whether to pay dividends and how much in dividends should be paid in any given year.  Thus, NTIC cannot guarantee that any of its joint ventures will pay dividends in any given year.  The failure of NTICs joint ventures to declare dividends in amounts typically expected by NTIC could adversely affect NTICs liquidity and financial position.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in our reported consolidated net sales and net earnings.

Because the functional currency of NTICs foreign operations and investments in its foreign corporate joint ventures and holding companies is the applicable local currency, NTIC is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business since NTICs fees for technical support and other services and dividend distributions from these foreign entities are paid in foreign currencies.

NTICs reported consolidated net sales and net income are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  NTICs principal exchange rate exposure is with the Euro, the Japanese yen, Korean won and the English pound against the U.S. dollar.  NTIC does not hedge against its foreign currency exchange rate risk.  Since NTICs investments in its corporate joint ventures and holding companies are accounted for using the equity method, any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment and would not change the equity in income of joint ventures and holding companies reflected in NTICs consolidated statements of income.

Approximately 33.5% of NTICs consolidated net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 26.6% of NTICs consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 were dependent upon a single customer, the loss of which would adversely affect NTICs financial condition and consolidated operating results.

One of NTICs North American customers accounted for, in the aggregate, approximately 33.5% of NTICs consolidated net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2006 and 26.6% of NTICs consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.  If NTIC were to lose this customer or if this customer were to substantially decrease its purchases of NTICs products, NTICs financial condition and consolidated operating results would be adversely affected.

NTICs compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and any changes in such principles might adversely affect NTICs operating results and financial condition.  Any requirement to consolidate NTICs corporate joint ventures or subject them to compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could adversely affect NTICs operating results and financial condition.

NTIC adopted accounting policy FASB Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, a revision of FIN 46 effective as of February 28, 2005.  As a result of FIN 46R, NTIC consolidated React-NTI LLC, one of its corporate joint ventures that is 75% owned by NTIC.  If the interpretation of FIN 46R were to change and NTIC were required to fully consolidate all of its corporate joint ventures or if NTICs corporate joint ventures otherwise would be required to be Sarbanes-Oxley compliant, NTIC would incur significant additional costs.  NTIC estimates that the costs for each of its corporate joint ventures to become Sarbanes-Oxley compliant would range between $150,000 to $500,000 and that annual maintenance expenses would range from $50,000 to $100,000 per year per corporate joint venture thereafter.  In addition, other accounting pronouncements issued in the future could have a material
cost associated with NTICs implementation of such new accounting pronouncements.

One of NTICs principal stockholders beneficially owns 25.2% of NTICs outstanding common stock and is affiliated with NTICs President and Chief Executive Officer and thus may be able influence matters requiring stockholder approval and could discourage or otherwise impede a transaction in which a third party wishes to purchase NTICs outstanding shares at a premium.

As of November 30, 2006, Inter Alia Holding Company beneficially owned approximately 25.2% of NTICs outstanding common stock.  Inter Alia is an entity owned by, among others, G. Patrick Lynch, NTICs President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Philip M. Lynch, NTICs former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman Emeritus.  Messrs. G.P. Lynch and P.M. Lynch share voting and dispositive power of shares of NTICs common stock held by Inter Alia Holding Company.  As a result of his share ownership through Inter Alia and his position as President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of NTIC, Mr. G.P. Lynch may be able to influence the affairs and actions of NTIC, including matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.  The interests of Messrs. G.P. Lynch and Inter Alia may differ from the interests
of NTICs other stockholders.  This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of NTIC, could deprive NTICs stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale or merger of NTIC and may negatively affect the market price of NTICs common stock.  Transactions that could be affected by this concentration of ownership include proxy contests, tender offers, mergers or other purchases of common stock that could give stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for shares of NTICs common stock.

NTIC is currently involved in litigation over its trademark on the use of the color Yellow in corrosion inhibiting packaging, the loss of which could adversely affect NTICs business.

One of NTICs important trademarks for its business is the trademark for the color Yellow.  NTIC is currently involved in litigation against a competitor over this trademark.  NTIC has also in the past successfully prosecuted infringement claims against other competitors and third parties for their use of the color Yellow.  If NTIC were to lose any future litigation over this trademark, NTIC could be in a more difficult position to enforce its rights to this trademark in other countries and against other third parties.  NTIC believes that the loss of its trademark for the color Yellow could have an adverse affect on NTICs business.

NTICs business, properties, and products are subject to governmental regulation with which compliance may require NTIC to incur expenses or modify its products or operations and may expose NTIC to penalties for non-compliance. Governmental regulation may also adversely affect the demand for some of NTICs products and its operating results.

NTICs business, properties, and products are subject to a wide variety of international, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, natural resources, and worker health and safety and the use, management, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes, and other regulated materials. These laws, rules, and regulations may affect the way NTIC conducts its operations, and the failure to comply with these regulations could lead to fines and other penalties. Because NTIC owns and operates real property, various environmental laws also may impose liability on NTIC for the costs of cleaning up and responding to hazardous substances that may have been released on NTICs property, including releases unknown to NTIC. These environmental laws and regulations also could require NTIC to pay for environmental remediation and response costs at third-party locations where NTIC disposed of or recycled
hazardous substances. NTICs future costs of complying with the various environmental requirements, as they now exist or may be altered in the future, could adversely affect its financial condition and operating results. NTIC is also subject to other international, federal and state laws, rules and regulations, the future non-compliance of which may harm NTICs business or may adversely affect the demand for some of its products.  Changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards and taxation changes, including tax rate changes, new tax laws, revised tax law interpretations, also may adversely affect NTICs operating results.

NTIC intends to grow its business through additional joint ventures, alliances and acquisitions, which could be risky and could harm its business.

One of NTICs growth strategies is to expand its business by entering into additional joint ventures and alliances and acquiring businesses, technologies and products that complement or augment NTICs existing products.  The benefits of a joint venture, alliance or acquisition may take more time than expected to develop, and NTIC cannot guarantee that any future joint ventures, alliances or acquisitions will in fact produce the intended benefits. In addition, joint ventures, alliances and acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:

| |  | diversion of managements   attention;

| |  | difficulties in   assimilating the operations and products of an acquired business or in   realizing projected efficiencies, cost savings and revenue synergies;
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                 
| |  | potential loss of key   employees or customers of the acquired businesses or adverse effects on   existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; 

25



| |  | adverse impact on overall   profitability if acquired businesses do not achieve the financial results   projected in NTICs valuation models;

| |  | reallocation of amounts of   capital from other operating initiatives and/or an increase in NTICs   leverage and debt service requirements to pay the acquisition purchase   prices, which could in turn restrict our ability to access additional capital   when needed or to pursue other important elements of NTICs business   strategy;
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
| |  | inaccurate assessment of   undisclosed, contingent or other liabilities or problems and unanticipated   costs associated with the acquisition; and                                                                                                                                                                                            
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
| |  | incorrect estimates made   in the accounting for acquisitions, incurrence of non-recurring charges and   write-off of significant amounts of goodwill that could adversely affect   NTICs operating results.                                                                                                                                 

NTICs ability to grow through joint ventures, alliances and acquisitions will depend, in part, on the availability of suitable opportunities at an acceptable cost, NTICs ability to compete effectively for these opportunities and the availability of capital to complete such transactions.

NTIC relies on its independent distributors, manufacturers sales representatives and corporate joint ventures to market and sell its products.

In addition to its direct sales force, NTIC relies on its independent distributors, manufacturers sales representatives and corporate joint ventures to market and sell its products in the United States and internationally.  NTICs independent distributors, manufacturers sales representatives and joint venture partners might terminate their relationship with NTIC, or devote insufficient sales efforts to NTICs products.  NTIC does not control its independent distributors, manufacturers sales representatives and joint ventures and they may not be successful in implementing NTICs marketing plans. NTICs failure to maintain its existing relationships with its independent distributors, manufacturers sales representatives and joint ventures, or its failure to recruit and retain additional skilled independent distributors, manufacturers sales representatives and joint venture partners could have an adverse
effect on NTICs operations.

NTIC has very limited staffing and will continue to be dependent upon key employees.

NTICs success is dependent upon the efforts of a small management team and staff.  NTICs future success will also depend in large part on its ability to identify, attract and retain other highly qualified managerial, technical, sales and marketing and customer service personnel. Competition for these individuals is intense, especially in the markets in which NTIC operates.  NTIC may not succeed in identifying, attracting and retaining these personnel.  The current management, other than the President and Chief Executive Officer, do not have any material stock ownership in NTIC or any contractual obligation to maintain employment.  The loss or interruption of services of any of NTICs key personnel, the inability to identify, attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, delays in hiring qualified personnel, or any employee slowdowns, strikes or similar actions could make it difficult for NTIC to manage its business and
meet key objectives, which could harm NTICs business, financial condition and operating results.

NTIC relies on its management information systems for inventory management, distribution and other functions.  If these information systems fail to adequately perform these functions or if NTIC experiences an interruption in their operation, NTICs business and operating results could be adversely affected.

The efficient operation of NTICs business is dependent on its management information systems.  NTIC relies on its management information systems to effectively manage accounting and financial functions; manage order entry, order fulfillment and inventory replenishment processes; and to maintain its research and development data.  The failure of management information systems to perform as anticipated could disrupt NTICs business and product development and could result in decreased sales, causing NTICs business and operating results to suffer.

26



In addition, NTICs management information systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural or man-made disasters, terrorist attacks and attacks by computer viruses or hackers, or power loss or computer systems, Internet, telecommunications or data network failure.  Any such interruption could adversely affect NTICs business and operating results.

NTICs reliance upon patents, trademark laws, trade secrets and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary rights may not be sufficient to protect its intellectual property from others who may sell similar products.

NTIC holds patents relating to various aspects of its products and believes that proprietary technical know-how is critical to many of its products.  Proprietary rights relating to NTICs products are protected from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that they are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are maintained in confidence as trade secrets.  NTIC cannot be certain that it will be issued any patents from any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to NTIC or that the claims allowed under any issued patents will be sufficiently broad to protect its technology.  In the absence of patent protection, NTIC may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy NTICs products or gain access to its trade secrets and know-how.  NTICs competitors may initiate litigation to challenge the validity of NTICs patents, or they may use their resources to design comparable products that do
not infringe NTICs patents.  NTIC may incur substantial costs if its competitors initiate litigation to challenge the validity of is patents or if it initiates any proceedings to protect its proprietary rights and if the outcome of any such litigation is unfavorable to NTIC, its business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, NTIC relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that it seeks to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with its employees, and consultants.  These agreements may be breached and NTIC may not have adequate remedies for any such breach.  Even if these confidentiality agreements are not breached, NTICs trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.

If NTIC is unable to continue to enhance existing products and develop and market new products that respond to customer needs and achieve market acceptance, NTIC may experience a decrease in demand for its products, and its business could suffer.

One of NTICs strategies is to enhance its existing products and develop and market new products that respond to customer needs.  NTIC may not be able to compete effectively with its competitors unless NTIC can keep up with existing or new products in the markets in which it competes.  Product development requires significant financial and other resources. Although in the past NTIC has implemented lean manufacturing and other productivity improvement initiatives to provide investment funding for new products, NTIC cannot assure you that it will be able to continue to do so in the future.  Products improvements and new product introductions also require significant planning, design, development and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels and NTIC may not be able to timely develop product improvements or new products.  NTICs competitors new products may beat NTICs products to market, may be
more effective or less expensive than NTICs products or render NTICs products obsolete.  Any new products that NTIC may develop may not receive market acceptance or otherwise generate any meaningful net sales or profits for NTIC relative to its expectations, based on, among other things, existing and anticipated investments in manufacturing capacity and commitments to fund advertising, marketing, promotional programs, and research and development.

NTIC faces intense competition in all of its product lines, including from competitors that have substantially greater resources than NTIC does.  NTIC cannot assure you it will be able to compete effectively, which would harm its business and operating results.

NTICs products are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world.  The principal competitive factors in NTICs markets are pricing, product innovation, quality and reliability, product support and customer service and reputation.  NTIC competes in all of its products with numerous manufacturers, many of who have substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than NTIC does. As a result, they may be able to

27



adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than NTIC can.  In addition, competition could increase if new companies enter the market or if existing competitors expand their product lines or intensify efforts within existing product lines.  NTICs current products, products under development and its ability to develop new and improved products may be insufficient to enable NTIC to compete effectively with its competitors. NTIC cannot assure you that it will be able to compete effectively, which would harm its business and operating results.

Recently enacted and future changes in securities laws and regulations have increased and are likely to continue to increase our costs.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and American Stock Exchange rules, create challenges and compliance requirements for publicly held companies, including NTIC.  NTICs efforts to comply with evolving laws, rules, regulations and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.  In particular, NTICs efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related regulations regarding its assessment of its internal control over financial reporting and its independent registered public accounting firms report on that assessment will require the commitment of significant financial and
managerial resources.

NTIC is exposed to risks relating to evaluations of internal control over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulations implemented by the SEC and the American Stock Exchange, are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming.  NTIC will be evaluating its internal controls systems to allow management to report on, and its independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, NTICs internal control over financial reporting.  NTIC will be performing the system and process evaluation and testing (and any necessary remediation) required to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  NTIC cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of its evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact of the same on its operations since
there is presently no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy.  If NTIC is not able to implement the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, NTIC may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, including the SEC or the American Stock Exchange.  This type of action could adversely affect NTICs financial results or investors confidence in NTIC, and could cause NTICs stock price to decline.  In addition, the controls and procedures that NTIC may implement may not comply with all of the relevant rules and regulations of the SEC and the American Stock Exchange.  If NTIC fails to develop and maintain effective controls and procedures, it may be unable to provide the required financial information in a timely and reliable manner.

ITEM 3  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

NTIC maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed by NTIC in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to NTICs management, including NTICs principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating

28



NTICs disclosure controls and procedures, NTIC recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and NTIC necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  NTICs management evaluated, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of NTICs disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered in this report.  Based on that evaluation, NTICs Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that NTICs disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in NTICs Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that material information relating to NTIC and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including NTICs Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period when NTICs periodic reports are being prepared.

NTICs management is aware, however, that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees of NTIC dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, NTICs management has decided that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, risks associated with such lack of segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not at this time justify the expenses associated with such increases.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in NTICs internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect NTICs internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

A description of NTICs legal proceedings in the first paragraph under Note 20 of NTICs consolidated financial statements included within this report is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.     UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDSAND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities

Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

During the three months ended November 30, 2006, NTIC did not purchase any shares of its common stock or other equity securities of NTIC.

On November 13, 2003, the Board of Directors of NTIC authorized Matthew Wolsfeld, Chief Financial Officer of NTIC, to repurchase on behalf of NTIC, up to 100,000 shares of NTICs common stock from time to time in accordance with applicable rules governing issuer stock repurchases.  Since being authorized, NTIC has repurchased and retired an aggregate of 44,200 shares of its common stock.

ITEM 5.     OTHER INFORMATION

On December 10, 2006, NTIC obtained a demand line of credit of up to the principal amount of $600,000 from National City Bank to fund NTICs obligations related to a required deposit of $445,469 with the courts in Finland in connection with NTICs legal action in Finland.  We refer you to Note 20 of NTICs consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for more information regarding the legal action.  Advances made under the demand line of credit will be made at the sole discretion of National City Bank and will be due and payable on demand.  Any outstanding unpaid principal balance under the demand line of credit bears interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR plus 2.25%.  Interest is payable in arrears on January 15, 2007 and on the 15th day of each month thereafter and on demand.

On November 16, 2006, the independent directors of NTIC approved the material terms of an annual bonus plan for executive officers and certain employees of NTIC for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2007, the purpose of which is to align the interests of NTIC and its subsidiaries, executive officers and stockholders by providing an incentive for the achievement of key corporate and individual performance measures that are critical to the success of NTIC and linking a significant portion of each executive officers annual compensation to the achievement of such measures.  The following is a brief summary of the material terms approved by the Board:

| |  | The total amount available   under the bonus plan will be up to 25% of NTICs earnings before interest,   taxes and other income (EBITOI);                                                                    
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                               
| |  | The total amount available   under the bonus plan will be $0 if EBITOI, as adjusted to take into account   amounts to be paid under the bonus plan, fall below 70% of target EBITOI; and                      
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                               
| |  | The payment of bonuses   under the plan will be made in both cash and stock, the exact amount and   percentages of which will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the   Board of Directors of NTIC.
