CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) presented herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB amended previously released guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. The amendment requires disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also requires more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The required disclosures regarding transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements were effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures. The amendment’s requirements related to Level 3 disclosures were effective for the Company as of January 1, 2011. This guidance affects disclosures only and have no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, the Company permitted the exercise of stock options with exercise proceeds paid with the Company’s stock (“cashless” exercises) totaling $93,879 and $343,750, respectively.
(4) Investment in Affiliated Partnership
The Company has a 26.32% ownership interest in a realty limited partnership, United Development Company Limited (“UDT”). The Company has consolidated the financial statements of UDT for all periods presented because it has determined that UDT is a VIE, and the Company is the primary beneficiary. UDT owns a building, which is leased to the Company. The lease payments from the Company account for 100% of UDT’s revenue. Therefore, the Company believes it has the power to direct the activities of UDT that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses of UDT or the right to receive benefits from UDT that could potentially be significant to UDT. In addition to the lease arrangement, the Company’s management provides management services to UDT in certain situations. The creditors of UDT have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.
Included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are the following amounts related to UDT:

(5) Fair Value Accounting
Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized below based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities are as follows:
Level 1 — Valued based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Valued based on either directly or indirectly observable prices for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 — Valued based on management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit, both considered cash equivalents, which are categorized by the levels discussed above and in the table below:

As of March 31, 2011, the Company does not have any significant non-recurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company may have additional disclosure requirements in the event an impairment of the Company’s nonfinancial assets occurs in a future period.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The Company has other financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued taxes and other expenses, which are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.
(6) Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
The Company issues share-based payments through several plans, which are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans is as follows:

(8) Preferred Stock
On March 18, 2009, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, on March 20, 2009, to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Share”) of the Company, at a price of $25 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share subject to adjustment and the terms of the Rights Agreement. The Rights expire on March 19, 2019.
(9) Income Per Share
Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period.
The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share consisted of the following:

|

|
The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is
lower than the exercise price of the related options during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was 0 and 41,769, respectively.
(10) Segment Reporting
The Company is organized based on the nature of the products and services it offers. Under this structure, the Company produces products within two distinct segments: Engineered Packaging and Component Products. Within the Engineered Packaging segment, the Company primarily uses polyethylene and polyurethane foams, sheet plastics, and pulp fiber to provide customers with cushion packaging for their products. Within the Component Products segment, the Company primarily uses cross-linked polyethylene and technical urethane foams to provide customers in the automotive, athletic, leisure, and health and beauty industries with custom-designed products for numerous purposes.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating income.
Inter-segment transactions are uncommon and not material. Therefore, they have not been reflected separately in the financial table below. Revenues from customers outside of the United States are not material. One customer in the Component Products segment comprised over 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011. All of the Company’s assets are located in the United States.
The Company has expanded the disclosure of various financial statement accounts in its segment reporting and, in doing so, has revised its allocation of corporate assets to the two segments to present cash and cash equivalents as unallocated assets. Prior year numbers have been adjusted to conform to the same allocation method.

Overview
UFP Technologies is an innovative designer and custom converter of foams, plastics, and fiber products. The Company serves a myriad of markets, but specifically targets opportunities in the medical and scientific, automotive, computers and electronics, aerospace and defense, consumer, and industrial markets.
In the first three months of 2011 the Company experienced organic sales growth of just under 10%, reflecting increased demand for products from the automotive and defense and aerospace markets. The ability of the Company to leverage this sales growth as well as one-time gains and moving allowances associated with the sale of real estate in Alabama by UDT allowed the Company to generate a 60% increase in operating income and record first quarter net income. The Company expects to incur up to approximately $300,000 in move-related expenses in 2011 associated with relocating the Alabama operations. The Company is currently evaluating its options regarding the operations performed at this facility.
A substantial portion of a large automotive door program is expected to end mid-year. The Company expects that the end of this program will result in reduced revenues of approximately $625,000 per month in its Georgia facility.
The Company’s current strategy includes organic growth and growth through strategic acquisitions.
Sales
Sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, increased 9.8% to $31.5 million from sales of $28.7 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to increased sales of interior trim parts to the automotive industry of approximately $1.6 million (Component Products segment) and an increase in sales to the defense and aerospace industry of approximately $700,000 (both business segments).
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margin) increased to 27.9% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, from 26.0% for the same period in 2010. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to an increase in quality of the book of business, combined with the fixed components of cost of sales (overhead) measured against higher sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately $700,000 to $5.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, from just over $5.0 million for the same period in 2010. The $700,000 increase in SG&A is primarily the result of an increase in professional fees of approximately $300,000 associated with the development of enhanced internal operating and information systems and a re-branding and marketing project, as well as approximately $200,000 in additional administrative salaries and wages. While the Company anticipates incurring continued additional professional fees related to these items in 2011, it does not expect them to be significant.
As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased to 18.2% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, from 17.5% for the same three-month period of 2010. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the increase in professional fees, as indicated above.
Gain on Sales of Assets
The gain on sale of assets of approximately $830,000 was derived primarily from the sale of real estate in Alabama by UDT. Of this $830,000 gain, approximately $428,000 relates to non-controlling interests that have been deducted to determine net income attributable to UFP Technologies, Inc.
Other Expenses
The Company had net interest income of approximately $2,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to net interest expense of approximately $35,000 for the same period in 2010. This change is primarily due to lower average borrowings and interest earned on an increased cash position.
The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 37% of income before income tax expense, excluding net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, this resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately 33% since the noncontrolling interest in UDT is not subject to corporate income tax.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds its operating expenses, capital requirements, and growth plan through internally generated cash and bank credit facilities.
At March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company’s working capital was approximately $41.5 million and $38.3 million, respectively. The $3.2 million increase in working capital for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, is primarily due to an increase in receivables, net of approximately $1.2 million (strong March sales), an increase in inventories of approximately $1.1 million (higher production activity), and increased cash of approximately $800,000.
Net cash provided by operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, was approximately $415,000 and $2.4 million, respectively. The decrease in cash generated from operations is primarily due to (i) an increase in receivables, net during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, of approximately $1.2 million due to strong March 2011 sales compared to a decrease in receivables, net during the comparable period of 2010, (ii) an increase in inventories, net of approximately $1.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, due to increased manufacturing activity, compared to a decrease in inventories, net of approximately $150,000 during the comparable period of 2010, partially offset by (iii) increased net income of approximately $1.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to the comparable period of 2010.
Cash provided by investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, was approximately $965,000 and was primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of real estate in Alabama of approximately $1.2 million, partially offset by normal additions of manufacturing machinery and equipment of approximately $252,000.
Cash used in financing activities was approximately $569,000 and $96,000 in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively, The increase in cash used in financing activities is due primarily to an increase in payments of statutory withholdings for stock options exercised and restricted stock units of approximately $335,000, due to more options being exercised as well as a higher average stock price.
On January 29, 2009, the Company amended and extended its credit facility with Bank of America, NA. The facility comprises: (i) a revolving credit facility of $17 million; (ii) a term loan of $2.1 million with a seven-year straight-line amortization; (iii) a term loan of $1.8 million with a 20-year straight-line amortization; and (iv) a term loan of $4.0 million with a 20-year straight-line amortization. Extensions of credit under the revolving credit facility are based in part upon accounts receivable and inventory levels. Therefore, the entire $17 million may not be available to the Company. At March 31, 2011, the Company had availability of approximately $16.9 million, based upon collateral levels as of that date.
The credit facility calls for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or, at the option of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from 0.25% to zero. In both cases the applicable margin is dependent upon Company performance. The loans are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets, including its real estate located in Georgetown, Massachusetts, and in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Under the credit facility, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenant with which it was in compliance at March 31, 2011. The Company’s $17 million revolving credit facility matures November 30, 2013; the term loans are all due on January 29, 2016. The interest rate on these facilities was approximately 1.29% at March 31, 2011.
UDT has a mortgage note dated May 22, 2007, collateralized by the Florida facility, which is included within long-term debt in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The note had an original principal balance of $786,000 and calls for 180 monthly payments of $7,147. The interest rate is fixed at approximately 7.2%.
The Company has no significant capital commitments in 2011, but plans on adding capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants. The Company may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies, or products in 2011 that are complementary to its business. The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash generated from operations and funds expected to be available to it through any necessary equipment financing and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements, including capital asset acquisitions, through at least the end of 2011.
Commitments, Contractual Obligations, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service the obligations listed above. The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its revolving credit facility. Although the Company generated cash from operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, it cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion of the Company’s market risk includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices. At March 31, 2011, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of bank accounts in U.S. dollars, and their valuation would not be affected by market risk. The Company has several debt instruments where interest is based upon either the prime rate or LIBOR and, therefore, future operations could be affected by interest rate changes. However, the Company believes that the market risk of the debt is minimal.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, they concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I — Item 2 of this Form 10-Q in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Forward-Looking Statements” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, in Part I — Item 1A under “Risk Factors.” There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
