Market Overview

Packaging Products

The interior cushion packaging market is characterized by three primary sectors: (1) custom fabricated or molded products for low volume, high fragility products; (2) molded or die-cut products for high volume, industrial and consumer goods; and (3) loose fill and commodity packaging materials for products whichthat do not require custom-designed packaging. Packaging productssolutions are used to contain, display, and/or protect their contents during shipment, handling, storage, marketing, and use. The Company serves both the low volume, high fragility market and the high volume industrial and consumer market with a range of product offerings,materials and manufacturing capabilities, but does not materially serve the commodity packaging market.

The low volume, high fragility market is generally characterized by annual production volumes of less than 50,000 pieces. Typical goods in this market include precision instruments, medical devices, sensitive electronic components, and other high value industrial products that are very sensitive to shock, vibration, and other damage that may occur during shipment and distribution. The principal materials used to package these goods include polyethylene and polyurethane foams, foam-in-place polyurethane, and molded expanded polystyrene. Polyurethane foams and polyethylene foams have high shock absorbency, high resiliency, and vibration damping characteristics.

The higher volume consumer packaging market is generally characterized by annual production volumes in excess of 50,000 pieces. Typical goods in this market include toys, light electronics, computers and computer peripherals, stereo equipment, and small appliances. These goods generally do not require as high a level of shock and vibration protection as goods in the low volume, high fragility market. The principal materials used to package these goods include various molded, rigid and foamed plastics, such as expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), vacuum-formed polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and corrugated die-cut inserts whichthat generally are less protective and less expensive than resilient foams and molded fiber.

Component Products

Component Products applications of foam and other types of plastics are numerous and diverse. Examples include automotive interior components, medical devices, toys, gaskets, health and beauty products, and carrying cases. Cross-linked polyethylene foams have many of the same properties as traditional polyethylene foams, including light weight, durability, resiliency, and flexibility. Cross-linked foams have many advantages over traditional foams, including the ability to be thermoformed (molded), availability in vibrant colors, a fine cell structure providing improved esthetics and lower abrasiveness, and enhanced resistance to chemicals and ultraviolet light. Certain grades of cross-linked foams can be radiation sterilizedradiation-sterilized and have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for open wound skin contact.

Cross-linked foam can be combined with other materials to increase product applications and market applications. For example, cross-linked foams can be laminated to fabrics to produce light weight, flexible and durable insoles for athletic and walking shoes, weight lifting and industrial safety belts, gun holsters, backpacks, and other products for the leisure, athletic and retail markets. The Company believes that, as a result of their many advantages, cross-linked foam and cross-linked foam laminated products are being used in a wide range of markets as substitutes for traditional rubber, leather, and other product material alternatives.

Reticulated polyurethane foam is a versatile material typically used to make component products that involve filtration, liquid absorption, noise control, wiping, and padding. These foams feature high tensile, elongation, and tear characteristics; they are used extensively in the medical industry as they are easy to clean, impervious to microbial organisms, and can be made with fungicidal and bactericidal additives for added safety.

Regulatory Climate

The packaging industry has been subject to user, industry, and legislative pressure to develop environmentally responsible packaging alternatives that reduce, reuse, and recycle packaging materials. Government authorities have enacted legislation relating to source reduction, specific product bans, recycled content, recyclability requirements, and “green marketing” restrictions.

In order to provide packaging that complies with all regulations regardless of a product’s destination, manufacturers seek packaging materials that meet both environmentally related demands and performance specifications. Some packaging manufacturers have responded by:by reducing product volume and ultimate waste product disposal through reengineering traditional packaging products;solutions; adopting new manufacturing processes; participating in recovery and reuse systems for resilient materials that are inherently reusable; creating programs to recycle packaging following its useful life; and developing materials that use a high percentage of recycled content in their manufacture.  Wherever feasible, the Company employs one or more of these techniques to create environmentally responsible packaging solutions.

Products

The Company’s products include foam, plastic, and fiber packaging products,solutions, and component products.

Packaging ProductsSolutions

The Company designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of packaging productssolutions primarily using polyethylene, polyurethane, and cross-linked polyethylene foams, and rigid plastics. These productssolutions are custom designedcustom-designed and fabricated or molded to provide protection for less durable, higher value items, and are primarily sold to original equipment and component manufacturers. Examples of the Company’s packaging productssolutions include end-cap packs for computers, corner blocks for telecommunications consoles, anti-static foam packs for printed circuit boards, die-cut


or routed inserts for attaché cases, molded foam enclosures for orthopedic products, and plastic trays for medical devices and components. Markets for these products are typically characterized by lower to moderate volumes where performance, such as shock absorbency and vibration damping, is valued.

The Company’s engineering personnel collaborate directly with customers to study and evaluate specific customer requirements. Based on the results of this evaluation, packaging productssolutions are engineered to customer specifications using various types and densities of materials with the goal of providing the desired protection for the lowest cost and with the lowest physical package volume. The Company believes that its engineering expertise, and breadth of productmaterial offerings, and manufacturing capabilities have enabled it to provide unique solutions to achieve these goals.

The markets for the Company’s molded fiber packaging and vacuum-formed trays are characterized by high volume production runs and require rapid manufacturing turnaround times. Raw materials used in the manufacture of molded fiber are primarily recycled newspaper, a variety of other grades of recycled paper and water.  Raw materials used in vacuum-formed plastics include polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).  These products compete with expanded polystyrene (EPS) and manually assembled corrugated die-cut inserts.

The Company’s molded fiber products provide customers with packaging solutions that are more responsive to stringent environmental packaging regulations worldwide and meet the demands of environmentally-aware consumers while simultaneously meeting customer cost and performance objectives.

Component Products

The Company specializes in engineered products that use the Company’s close tolerance manufacturing capabilities, and its expertise in various foam materials and lamination techniques, and the Company’s ability to manufacture in clean room environments. The Company’s component products are sold primarily to customers in the automotive, sporting goods, medical, beauty, leisure, and footwear industries. These products include automotive interior trim, partsathletic and industrial safety belts, components for automobilesmedical equipment and medical diagnostic equipment,devices, cosmetic applicators, air conditioner filters, abrasive nail files and other beauty aids, anti-fatigue mats, and shock absorbing inserts used in athletic and leisure footwear.

The Company believes that it is one of the largest purchasers of cross-linked foam in the United States and as a result it has been able to establish important relationships with the relatively small number of suppliers of this product. Through its strong relationships with cross-linked foam suppliers, the Company believes that it is able to offer customers a wide range of cross-linked foam products.

5



The Company benefits from its ability to custom design its own proprietary manufacturing equipment in conjunction with its machinery suppliers. For example, the Company has custom designedcustom-designed its own lamination machines, allowing the Company to achieve adhesive bonds between cross-linked foam and fabric and other materials that do not easily combine. These specialty laminates typically command higher prices than traditional foam products.

The Company has developed a variety of standard products that are branded and, in some cases, trademarked and patented.  These products include Wine Packs (wine shipping solutions made from molded fiber); T-Tubes (tube and pipe insulation for clean room environments); BioShell (pharmaceutical bag protection system); and Pro-Sticks (sanitary solution for nail care services).

Marketing and Sales

The Company goes to market through three major brands: United Foam, Simco Automotive, and Molded Fiber.  Each brand represents specific materials, capabilities, and services the Company offers.  The Company markets its brands through websites, online advertising and directories, press releases, and trade shows and expositions.

The Company markets and sells its packaging and specialtycomponent products in the United States principally through direct regional sales forces comprised of skilled engineers. The Company


also uses independent manufacturer representatives to sell its products. The Company’s sales engineers collaborate with customers and the Company’s design and manufacturing experts to develop custom engineered solutions on a cost-effective basis. The Company also markets its products through attendance by in-house market specialists at trade shows and expositions.  The Company markets a line of products to the health and beauty industry, primarily through distributors.  The Company believes that its sales are somewhat seasonal, with increased sales in the second and fourth quarters.

The top two customerscustomer in the Company’s Component Products segment, Recticel Interiors North America, and Inalfa Roof Systems, comprise 30% and 11%, respectively,comprised 13.0% of that segment’s total sales and 18% and 7%, respectively,8.0% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2006.2009.  The top customer in the Packaging segment, Stephen Gould Corporation, comprised 10.6% of that segment’s total sales and 4.1% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The loss of either Recticel or InalfaStephen Gould Corp. as a customer wouldcould have a material adverse effect on the Company.  No one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Packaging segment sales for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Manufacturing

The Company’s manufacturing operations consist primarily of cutting, molding, vacuum forming, laminating, and assembly.assembling. For custom molded foam products, the Company’s skilled engineering personnel analyze specific customer requirements to design and build prototype products to determine product functionality. Upon customer approval, prototypes are converted to final designs for commercial production runs.

Molded cross-linked foam products are produced in a thermoforming process using heat, pressure, and precision metal tooling.

Cushion foam packaging products that do not utilize cross-linked foam are fabricated by cutting shapes from blocks of foam using specialized cutting tools, routers, waterjets and hot wire equipment, and assembling these shapes into the final product using a variety of foam welding or gluing techniques. Products can be used on a stand-alone basis or bonded to another foam product or other material such as a corrugated medium.

6



Laminated products are produced through a process whereby the foam medium is heated to the melting point. The heated foam is then typically bonded to a non-foam material through the application of mechanical pressure.

Molded fiber products are manufactured by vacuum forming a pulp of recycled or virgin paper materials onto custom engineered molds. With the application of vacuum and air, the molded parts are pressed and transferred to an in-line conveyorized dryer from which they exit ready for packing or subsequent value addedvalue-added operations.

The Company does not manufacture any of the raw materials used in its products. With the exception of certain grades of cross-linked foam and technical polyurethane foams, these raw materials are available from multiple supply sources. Although the Company relies upon a limited number of suppliers for cross-linked foam, the Company’s relationships with such suppliers are good, and the Company expects that these suppliers will be able to meet the Company’s requirements for cross-linked foam. Any delay or interruption in the supply of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.


Research and Development

The Company’s engineering personnel continuallycontinuously explore design and manufacturing techniques as well as new innovative materials to meet the unique demands and specifications of its customers. In addition, the Company regularly undertakes customer-initiated engineering feasibility studies for which the Company is generally compensated regardless of whether such projects result in commercial production contracts. Because the Company’s products tend to have relatively short life cycles, research and development is an integral part of the Company’s ongoing cost structure.

Competition

The packaging products industry is highly competitive. While there are several national companies that sell interior packaging, the Company’s primary competition to date for its packaging products has been from smaller independent regional manufacturing companies. These companies generally market their products in specific geographic areas from neighboring facilities. In addition, the Company’s foam and fiber packaging products compete against products made from alternative materials, including expanded polystyrene foams, die-cut corrugated, plastic peanuts, plastic bubbles, and foam-in-place urethane.

The component products industry is also highly competitive. The Company’s component products face competition primarily from smaller companies that typically concentrate on production of component products for specific industries. The Company expects that additional companies will enter the market as it expands. The Company believes that its access to a wide variety of materials, its engineering expertise, its ability to combine foams with other materials such as plastics and laminates, and its ability to manufacture products in a clean room environment will enable it to continue to compete effectively in the engineered component products market. The Company’s component products also compete with products made from a wide range of other materials, including rubber, leather and other foams.

The Company believes that its customers typically select vendors based on price, product performance, product reliability, and customer service. The Company believes that it is able to compete effectively with respect to these factors in each of its targeted markets.

7



Patents and Other Proprietary Rights

The Company relies upon trade secret,secrets, patents, and trademarks to protect its technology and proprietary rights. The Company believes that the improvement of existing products, reliance upon trade secrets and unpatented proprietary know-how, and the development of new products are generally as important as patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage. Nevertheless, the Company has obtained patents and may continue to make efforts to obtain patents, when available, although there can be no assurance that any patent obtained will provide substantial protection or be of commercial benefit to the Company, or that its validity will be upheld if challenged.

The Company has four U.S. patents relating to its molded fiber technology (including certain proprietary machine designs), and has patents with respect to such technology in certain foreign countries. The Company also has a total of twelvefourteen U.S. patents relating to technologies including foam and packaging, rubber mat, patterned nail file, and superforming process technologies.


There can be no assurance that any patent or patent application of the Company will provide significant protection for the Company’s products and technology, or will not be challenged or circumvented by others.  The expiration dates for the Company’s US patents range from 20082010 through 2024.2023.

Environmental Considerations

In addition to offering molded fiber packaging products made from recycled paper derived primarily from post-consumer newspaper waste, the Company actively promotes its philosophy of reducing product volume and resulting post-user product waste. The Company designs products to provide optimum performance with minimum material. In addition, the Company actively participates in a recovery and reuse program for certain of its plastic packaging products. The Company is aware of public support for environmentally responsible packaging and other products.  Future government action may impose restrictions affecting the industry in which the Company operates. There can be no assurance that any such action will not adversely impact the Company’s products and business.

Backlog

The Company’s backlog, as of February 16, 200715, 2010, and February 17, 2006,16, 2009, totaled approximately $7.1$10.1 million and $6.4$8.5 million, respectively, for the Packaging segment, and $25.3$15.5 million and $23.6$14.5 million, respectively, for the Component Products segment. The backlog consists of purchase orders for which a delivery schedule within the next twelve months has been specified by customers. Orders included in the backlog may be canceled or rescheduled by customers without significant penalty.  The backlog as of any particular date should not be relied upon as indicative of the Company’s revenues for any period.

Employees

As of February 8, 2007,January 31, 2010, the Company had a total of 531603 full-time employees (as compared to 533586 full-time employees as of February 8, 2006)January 31, 2009), with 274359 full-time employees in the Component Products segment (13(30 in engineering, 219268 in manufacturing operations, 1628 in marketing, sales and support services, and 2633 in general and administration) and 257244 full-time employees in the Packaging segment (12(32 in engineering, 206176 in manu­fac­tur­ing, 21manufacturing, 17 in marketing, sales and support services, and 1819 in general and administration).  The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

ITEM 1A.              RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this report before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. These are the risks and uncertainties we believe are most important for you to consider. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition and operating results would likely suffer. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.


We depend on a small number of customers for a large percentage of our revenues.  The loss of any single customer, or a reduction in sales to any such customer, or the decline in the financial condition of any such customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A limited number of customers typically represent a significant percentage of our revenues in any given year.  Our top ten customers based on revenues represented, in the aggregate,represent approximately 44%32.1% and 46% in 2006 and 2005, respectively,40.0% of our total revenues.  For example, during the fourth quarter of 2004, we launched our new $95 millionrevenues in 2009 and 2008, respectively.  A single automotive program.  This program accounted for approximately 30%13.0% and 26%31.0%, respectively, of our Component Products segment’ssegment sales and approximately 18%8.0% and 15%, respectively,18.0% of our total sales in 20062009 and 2005.  Based on our current2008, respectively.  The program is scheduled to phase out beginning in 2011.  It is uncertain at this time whether the phase-out will occur according to this schedule.  It is also uncertain whether the next generation of automobiles in this program will require the same design of parts and, if so, whether we will be selected as the supplier.  We expect sales forecasts, we expectfrom this program to account for significant portions of our overall salesdecline over the next 5 to 6two years.  However, we cannot guarantee that we will realize the full potential value of this program.  The program relies upon a contract that is terminable by the customer for any reason, subject to a cancellation charge.  If the customer’s needs decrease over the course of the contract, our estimated revenues from this contract may also decrease.  Even if we generate revenue from the project, we cannot guarantee that the project will be profitable, particularly if revenues from the contract are less than expected.  Moreover, automotive suppliers like this customer often take advantage of lower volume in the summer to shut down production to service machinery and tools, typically during a portion of the month of July.  We expect this practice to continue.  This could cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.  Our revenues are directly dependent on the ability of our customers to develop, market, and sell their products in a timely, cost-effective manner.  The loss of a significant portion of our expected future sales to any of our large customers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and financial results.  Likewise, a material adverse change in the financial condition of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and financial results.

Fluctuations in the supply of components and raw materials we use in manufacturing our products could cause production delays or reductions in the number of products we manufacture, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to the risk of periodic shortages of raw materials.  We purchase raw materials pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business.  Failure or delay by such suppliers in supplying us necessary raw materials could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and deliver products on a timely and competitive basis.

While we believe that we may, in certain circumstances, secure alternative sources of these materials, we may incur substantial delays and significant expense in doing so, the quality and reliability of alternative sources may not be the same and our operating results may be materially adversely affected. Alternative suppliers might charge significantly higher prices for materials than we currently pay. Under such circumstances, the disruption to our business could have a material adverse impact on our customer relationships, business, financial condition and results of operations.


Reductions in the availability of energy supplies or an increase in energy costs may increase our operating costs.

We use electricity and natural gas at our manufacturing facilities and to operate our equipment. Over the past three years, prices for electricity and natural gas have fluctuated significantly. An outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power and, in particular, a prolonged armed conflict in the Middle East, or a natural disaster such as the recent hurricanes and related flooding in the oil producing region of the Gulf Coast of the United States, could result in a real or perceived shortage of petroleum and/or natural gas, which could result in an increase in the cost of electricity or energy generally as well as an increase in cost of our raw materials, of which many are petroleum based.  In addition, increased energy costs negatively impact our freight costs due to higher fuel prices.  Future limitations on the availability or consumption of petroleum products and/or an increase in energy costs, particularly electricity for plant operations, could have a material adverse effect upon our business and results of operations.

Our Packaging segment may lose business if our customers shift their manufacturing offshore.

Historically, geography has played a large factor in the packaging business.  Manufacturing and other companies shipping products typically buy packagingcollect accounts receivable from companies that are relatively close to their manufacturing facilities to increase shipping efficiency and decrease costs.  As many U.S. companies move their manufacturing operations overseas, particularly to the Far East, the associated packaging business often follows.  We have in the past and may in the future lose customers as a result of customers moving their manufacturing facilities offshore and then hiring our competitors that operate packaging-production facilities that are perceived to be more territorially advantageous.  As a result, our sales may suffer, which could have a materially adverse effect upon our business and results of operations.

Failure to retain key personnel could impair our ability to execute our business strategy.

The continuing service of our executive officers and essential engineering, technical and management personnel, together with our ability to attract and retain such personnel, is an important factor in our continuing ability to execute our strategy. There is substantial competition to attract such employees and the loss of any such key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. The same could be true if we were to experience a high turnover rate among engineering and technical personnel and we were unable to replace them.customer.

Members of our board of directors and management who also are our stockholders exert significant influence over us.

Based on information made available to us, we believe that our executive officers, directors and their affiliates collectively beneficially own approximately 32% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2006.  As a result, those stockholders may, if acting together, control or exert substantial influence over actions requiring stockholders’ approval, including elections of our directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation, mergers, sales of assets or other business acquisitions or dispositions.


If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, we may be unable to service our debt obligations.

We have established a credit facility with a commercial lender, under which approximately $5.3 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2006.  If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, we may be unable to pay principal or interest on our borrowings when due and may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or to obtain additional financing.  We cannot guarantee that we could obtain any additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.

We may pursue acquisitions or joint ventures that involve inherent risks, any of which may cause us to not to realize anticipated benefits.

Our business strategy includes the potential acquisition of businesses and entering into joint ventures and other business combinations that we expect will complement and expand our business.  For example, during 2009 we acquired selected assets of Foamade Industries, Inc., E.N. Murray Co., and Advanced Materials, Inc., and during 2008 we acquired Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc., as discussed in Note 19 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”  We may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition or joint venture opportunities or complete any particular acquisition, combination, joint venture or other transaction on acceptable terms. Our identification of suitable acquisition candidates and joint venture opportunities involves risks inherent in assessing the values, strengths, weaknesses, risks and profitability of these opportunities including their effects on our business, diversion of our management’s attention and risks associated with unanticipated problems or unforeseen liabilities. If we are successful in pursuing future acquisitions or joint ventures, we may be required to expend significant funds, incur additional debt, or issue additional securities, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and be dilutive to our stockholders. If we spend significant funds or incur additional debt, our ability to obtain financing

9



for working capital or other purposes could decline and we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to finance additional acquisitions or that we will realize any anticipated benefits from acquisitions or joint ventures that we complete. Should we successfully acquire another business, the process of integrating acquired operations into our existing operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and may require significant financial resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development or expansion of our existing business. Our failure to identify suitable acquisition or joint venture opportunities may restrict our ability to grow our business.

Fluctuations in the supply of components and raw materials we use in manufacturing our products could cause production delays or reductions in the number of products we manufacture, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to the risk of periodic shortages of raw materials.  We purchase raw materials pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business.  Failure or delay by such suppliers in supplying us necessary raw materials could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and deliver products on a timely and competitive basis.

While we believe that we may, in certain circumstances, secure alternative sources of these materials, we may incur substantial delays and significant expense in doing so, the quality and reliability of alternative sources may not be the same and our operating results may be materially adversely affected. Alternative suppliers might charge significantly higher prices for materials than we currently pay. Under such circumstances, the disruption to our business could have a material adverse impact on our customer relationships, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The recent worldwide financial unrest and associated economic uncertainty may continue to harm our business and prospects.

The recent worldwide financial unrest and associated economic uncertainty has and may continue to adversely affect sales of our products.  The resulting tightening of credit markets may make it difficult for our customers and potential customers to obtain financing on reasonable terms, if at all.  Additionally, even if our customers (particularly those in the automotive industry) are able to obtain financing, there is no assurance that they will pay their obligations within agreed-upon terms, if at all.  In addition, a slow-down or contraction of the United States’ economy may reduce needs for our products and, therefore, adversely affect sales of our products.  These factors have and could continue to result in increased pressure on the pricing of our products.

Reductions in the availability of energy supplies or an increase in energy costs may increase our operating costs.

We use electricity and natural gas at our manufacturing facilities to operate our equipment. Over the past several years, prices for electricity and natural gas have fluctuated significantly. An outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power and, in particular, a prolonged armed conflict in the Middle East, or a natural disaster such as the recent hurricanes and related flooding in the oil producing region of the Gulf Coast of the United States, could result in a real or perceived shortage of petroleum and/or natural gas, which could result in an increase in the cost of electricity or energy generally as well as an increase in the cost of our raw materials, of

10



which many are petroleum-based.  In addition, increased energy costs negatively impact our freight costs due to higher fuel prices.  Future limitations on the availability or consumption of petroleum products and/or an increase in energy costs, particularly electricity for plant operations, could have a material adverse effect upon our business and results of operations.

Our Packaging segment may lose business if our customers shift their manufacturing offshore.

Historically, geography has played a large factor in the packaging business.  Manufacturing and other companies shipping products typically buy packaging from companies that are relatively close to their manufacturing facilities to increase shipping efficiency and decrease costs.  As many U.S. companies move their manufacturing operations overseas, particularly to the Far East, the associated packaging business often follows.  We have lost customers in the past and may lose customers again in the future as a result of customers moving their manufacturing facilities offshore, then hiring our competitors that operate packaging-production facilities perceived to be more territorially advantageous.  As a result, our sales may suffer, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business and results of operations.

Failure to retain key personnel could impair our ability to execute our business strategy.

The continuing service of our executive officers and essential engineering, technical and management personnel, together with our ability to attract and retain such personnel, is an important factor in our continuing ability to execute our strategy. There is substantial competition to attract such employees, and the loss of any such key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. The same could be true if we were to experience a high turnover rate among engineering and technical personnel and we were unable to replace them.

Members of our board of directors and management who also are our stockholders exert significant influence over us.

Based on information made available to us, we believe that our executive officers, directors and their affiliates collectively owned approximately 19% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 10, 2010.  As a result, those stockholders may, if acting together, control or exert substantial influence over actions requiring stockholders’ approval, including elections of our directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation, mergers, sales of assets or other business acquisitions or dispositions.

As a public company, we need to comply with the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  If we fail to comply with the reporting obligations of the Exchange Act and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we fail to achieve and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting, our business, results of operations and financial condition, and investors’ confidence in us, could be materially and adversely affected.

As a public company, we are required to comply with the periodic reporting obligations of the Exchange Act, including preparing annual reports, quarterly reports and current reports. Our failure to prepare and disclose this information in a timely manner could subject us to penalties under federal securities laws, expose us to lawsuits, and restrict our ability to access financing. In addition, we will be required under applicable law and regulations to integrate our systems of internal controls over financial reporting. We plan to evaluate our existing internal controls with respect to the standards adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. During the course of our evaluation, we may identify areas requiring improvement with respect to our internal control over financial reporting, and we may be required


to design enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through this review.identified. This

11



could result in significant delays and cost to us and require us to divert substantial resources, including management time, from other activities.  If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controlscontrol over financial reporting in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud.

Provisions of our corporate charter documents, Delaware law, and our stockholder rights plan may dissuade potential acquirers, prevent the replacement or removal of our current management and may thereby affect the price of our common stock.

The board of directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders.  The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.  The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock.  We have no present plans to issue shares of preferred stock.  Further, certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, and bylaws, and of Delaware law could delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us.

We also have a stockholder rights plan which is designed to protect and maximizeenhance the value of our outstanding equity interests in the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire us in a manner or on terms not approved by the board of directors and that would prevent stockholders from realizing the full value of their shares of our common stock. Its purposes are to deter those takeover attempts that the board believes are undesirable, to give the board more time to evaluate takeover proposals and consider alternatives, and to increase the board’s negotiating position to maximizeenhance value in the event of a takeover. The rights issued pursuant to the plan are not intended to prevent all takeovers of us.our Company.  However, the rights may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging our acquisition. The rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms or in a manner not approved by the board of directors, except pursuant to an offer conditioned upon the negation, purchase, or redemption of the rights with respect to which the condition is satisfied.

Additional provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-lawsbylaws could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting common stock. These include provisions that classify our board of directors, limit the ability of stockholders to take action by written consent, call special meetings, remove a director for cause, amend the by-lawsbylaws, or approve a merger with another company.  In addition, our bylaws set forth advance notice procedures for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an

12



“interested stockholder” is a person who, either alone or together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within the past three years did own) 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

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 automotive, computers and electronics, medical, aerospace and defense, industrial, and consumer markets.

During 2005

On March 9, 2009, the Company absorbed costs associated withacquired selected assets of the launchHillsdale, Michigan, operations of several new programs in its automotive operations in Michigan as well as in its large, estimated $95 million programFoamade Industries, Inc. (“Foamade”), a business specializing in the Southeast that caused significant losses infabrication of technical urethane foams for a myriad of industries.  The Company transitioned the acquired assets to its automotive business unit.  These costs wereGrand Rapids, Michigan, plant.

On July 7, 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of E.N. Murray Co. (“ENM”), a Denver, Colorado-based foam fabricator.  ENM specialized in the formfabrication of higher than anticipated scrap rates and additional direct labor requirements that, combined, caused significant losses in this business unit.  In 2006,technical urethane foams, primarily for the medical industry.  This acquisition brings to the Company enjoyed materially better resultsfurther access and expertise in its automotive business unit.  However,fabricating technical urethane foams and a seasoned management team.

On August 24, 2009, the automotive market remains very challenging with orders often belowCompany acquired selected assets of Advanced Materials, Inc. (“AMI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advanced Materials Group, Inc.  Located in Rancho Dominguez, California, AMI specialized in the fabrication of technical urethane foams, primarily for the medical industry.

On October 29, 2009, the Company’s largest customer, forecastsRecticel Interiors North America, filed for bankruptcy protection pursuant to Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code.  Sales to Recticel for the fiscal

During 2005,2007 were $8.0 million, $13.8 million, and $16.5 million, respectively.  On October 29, 2009, the Company was faced with significant raw material price increasesowed $897,445 from Recticel, all of which was within contractual payment terms.  The Company had not recorded a specific reserve against this receivable in its December 31, 2009, financial statements, as on December 31, 2009, the Company believed that full collection was probable.  The entire $897,445 was paid on March 8, 2010.  The Company also expects that the bankruptcy filing will have no impact on future orders from Recticel, and in some cases, shortages due to high oil and natural gas prices, Asianthat program volumes will fluctuate based upon consumer demand for the same raw materialsprogram vehicles.

The Company experienced significantly lower sales in the first half of fiscal 2009, largely due to the weak economy and materially reduced demand for cars in North America.  However, sales improved in the third and fourth quarters as many of the Company’s customers increased forecasts (both business segments).  Although sales for the fiscal year were down, the Company reported record earnings largely due to gains recorded from acquisitions, and the impact on gross margins and selling, general, and administrative expenses of Hurricanes Katrinacost-control efforts.

The Company’s current strategy includes organic growth and Rita on petrochemical plants along the Gulf coast.  The majority of raw materials used by the Company—polyurethane and polyethylene foams—utilize petroleum based resins in their production.  In 2006, prices have stabilized and, in some cases, were lower.growth through strategic acquisitions.

During 2006 demand remained strong from customers

2009 Compared to 2008

Net sales decreased 9.8% to $99.2 million in the aerospaceyear ended December 31, 2009, from $110.0 million in the same period of 2008.  Without sales from its newly acquired Foamade, E.N. Murray Co., and defense and medical industries.  Military effortsAMI operations (all within the Component Products segment), sales would have declined 19.5% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Sales in Iraq and elsewhere have created demand for molded uniform and gear componentsthe Component Products segment (including those from the Company’s Component Products division.  The aging population needing more medical care has kept demand high for medical packaging products, medical device components, dental products and orthopedic components.  The strong demandnewly acquired operations) increased slightly to $61.0 million in 2009, from customers$60.8 million in these markets, coupled with increased2008.  Without sales from the large automotive contract, generated recordnewly acquired operations, Component Product sales for the Company in 2006.

The Company’s net sales increased 11.7 % to $93.7$50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $84 million in 2005.  Component Product sales increased 15.8% to $55.8 million in 2006 from $48.2 million in 2005.  The increase2009.  This decrease in sales is primarily due to increaseda decrease in sales from recently launchedto the automotive programs as well as strong demand from customersindustry of approximately $9.6 million.  Sales in the medical and military markets.  Packaging sales increased 6.4%segment decreased 22.2% to $38.0$38.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $49.2 million in 2006 from $35.7 million in 2005.the same period of 2008.  The increasedecrease in sales is primarilylargely due to strongera decrease in sales of $3.9 million to a key electronics customer and overall reduced demand for electronics packaging because of the impact of the poor economy on demand for our customers’ products, andpartially offset by an increase in demand for environmentally friendly molded fiber packaging.packaging of approximately $700,000.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“Gross Margin”) increased to 20.5%26.9% in 20062009 from 17.4%26.0% in 2005.2008.  The improvement in gross margin is primarily attributable to Companywide manufacturing efficiency and cost-cutting initiatives, as well as a favorable shift in product mix (lower auto sales); material cost as a percentage of sales is down 1.2%, partially offset by higher overhead as a percentage of sales due to the fixed portionfixed-cost components of labor and overhead measured against higher sales in both the Component Product and Packaging segments and the reduction in labor from 2005 when the Company incurred excess labor associated with the launch of several automotive programs.  The material portion of cost-of-sales was slightly higher as a percent of sales in 2006 due primarily to the new automotive programs comprising a higher portion oflower sales.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) increased 14.1%decreased 1.5% to $14.2$18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 20062009, from $12.4$18.8 million in 2005.2008.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 15.1%18.7% and 14.8%17.1% in the years ended December 31, 20062009, and 2005,2008, respectively.  The increasedecline in SG&A spending is primarily attributable to equity based compensation resulting from the implementation of SFAS 123 (R) (Component Product and Packaging segments), increased corporate governance and compliance costs (Component Product and Packaging segments) and incremental SG&A within the automotive business unit (Component Product segment).

Interest expense decreased to $964,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006,2009, is primarily due to reduced administrative variable compensation of approximately $900,000 (both business segments) and reduced SG&A associated with the consolidation of the Company’s two Michigan facilities of approximately $550,000 (Component Products segment), partially offset by SG&A associated with newly acquired companies of approximately $1.3 million (Component Products segment).  The increase in SG&A as

a percentage of sales is primarily a result of the fixed-cost components of SG&A being measured against lower sales.

The Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2008, associated with the consolidation of its Macomb Township, Michigan, automotive operations into its newly acquired plant in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The $1.3 million charge was for the costs associated with vacating the Macomb Township premises, severance, relocation, and stay-bonuses for its employees, equipment moving and hook-up costs, and training and other start-up costs.  As of December 31, 2008, the move was completed and all significant costs had been incurred.  The Company believes that cost savings exceeded $1.4 million as a result of the consolidation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company recorded acquisition-related gains of approximately $840,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The acquisitions of Foamade, ENM, and AMI all resulted in bargain purchase gains as the consideration paid was less than the fair market value of the net assets acquired.  The Company believes the net assets were acquired at a bargain purchase due to the overall weak economy.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $233,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, from approximately $1,041,000$334,000 in 2005.2008.  The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to lower average borrowings partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates.

The Company recorded income tax expense as a percentage of 37%pre-tax income of 32.0% and 24%36.9% for the years ended December 31, 20062009, and 2005,2008, respectively.  The low effectiveprimary reason for the decrease in income tax rate for 2005 reflects research and development tax credits takenexpense as a percentage of pre-tax income is due to the non-taxable gains recorded on the Company’s tax returns.acquisitions of Foamade, ENM, and AMI.  The Company has deferred tax assets on its books associated with net operating losses generated in previous years.  The Company has considered both positive and negative available evidence in its determination that the deferred tax assets will be realized, and has not recorded a tax valuation allowance at December 31, 2006.  The Company expects to utilize a significant amount of its federal NOLs when it prepares its 2006 tax returns.2009.  The Company will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets created by recording tax benefits on operating losses and, wherewhen appropriate, will record a valuation allowance against these assets.  The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term, if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

Net sales increased 22.4%17.6% to $84.0$110.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, from $93.6 million in the same period of 2007.  Without its newly acquired plant in Grand Rapids, Michigan (Component Products segment), sales increased 4% for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Sales in the Component Products segment increased 13.1% to $60.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005,2008, from $68.6$53.8 million in 2004.  Component Productthe same period of 2007.  The increase is primarily due to sales of $12.7 million from the newly acquired plant in Grand Rapids, partially offset by a decrease in sales to the automotive industry of approximately $5.9 million.  The Company believes that sales to the automotive industry will continue to weaken in 2009.  Sales in the Engineered Packaging segment increased 33.4%23.5% to $48.2$49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $39.8 million in 2005 from $36.1 million in 2004.the same period of 2007.  The increase in sales is primarilylargely due to an increase in sales from recently launched automotive programsof $3.9 million to a key electronics customer, as well as strong demand from customers in the medical and


military markets.  Packaging sales increased 10% to $35.7 million in 2005 from $32.5 million in 2004.  The increase in sales is primarily due to growth in sales at the Company’s plant in El Paso, Texas, and stronger demand for case insert product.  The Company continued to invest in the area of marketing and sales in 2005 and attributes a portion of the Company’s sales growth in 2005 to these investments.environmentally friendly molded fiber packaging.

Murray Co., and Advanced Materials Group of approximately $2.4 million (net of cash acquired) and the acquisition of new manufacturing equipment.  In 2006,equipment of approximately $1.9 million.

On January 29, 2009, the Company spent approximately $300,000 for the acquisition of significantly all of the assets of Stephen Packaging.

On February 28, 2003, the Company obtained aamended and extended its credit facility which has been amended effective March 24, 2004, June 28, 2004, and November 21, 2005, to reflect, among other things, changes to certain financial covenants.with Bank of America, NA.  The amended facility is comprised of: (i) a revolving credit facility of $17 million that is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory;million; (ii) a term loan of $3.7$2.1 million with a 7-yearseven-year straight-line amortization that is collateralized by the Company’s property, plant and equipment (excluding UDT’s property, plant and equipment); andamortization; (iii) a term loan of $2.3$1.8 million with a 15-year20-year straight-line amortization that  is collateralized byamortization; and (iv) a mortgage on the Company’s real estate located in Georgetown, Massachusetts.term loan of $4.0 million with a 20-year straight-line amortization.  Extensions of credit under the revolving credit facility are subject to available collateral based in part upon accounts receivable and inventory levels.  Therefore, the entire $17 million may not be available to the Company.  For example, asAs of December 31, 2006, based upon no revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding and collateral levels,2009, the Company had availability of $12.3approximately $14.4 million based upon collateral levels in place as of credit under this facility.that date.  The amount of availability can fluctuate significantly.  The amended credit facility calls for interest of Prime or LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5%, depending or, at the discretion 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.  All borrowings at December 31, 2006 had interest computed at Prime or LIBOR plus 1.0%.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 amended credit facility, the Company is subject to certaina minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenants including maximum capital expenditures and minimum fixed charge coverage.  As of December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.covenant.  The Company’s $17 million revolving credit facility as amended, ismatures November 30, 2013; the term loans are all due February 28, 2009; the $3.7 million term loan and the $2.3 million mortgage are due November 21, 2011.on January 29, 2016.  At December 31, 2006,2009, the interest rate on these facilities ranged from 6.4% to 8.25%was 1.26%.

As a result of the consolidation of United Development Company Limited,

UDT has a mortgage note collateralized by the Alabama and Florida facilities,facility, dated September 4, 2002, originally for $470,313, is included within long-term debt in the consolidated financial statements.  The note calls for fifty principal payments of $3,406 and one payment of $388,967 due on March 4,May 22, 2007.  The note bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, adjusted monthly.  At December 31, 2006, the outstandinghad an original principal balance was $395,779.  At December 31, 2006, theof $786,000 and calls for 180 monthly payments of $7,147.  The interest rate wasis fixed at approximately 8.1%7.2%.  Payments on this note are funded through rent payments that the Company makes on its Alabama and Florida facilities.  The Company is not subject to any financial covenants under this mortgage note.

In addition to the above credit facilities, the Company has capital lease debt of $3,006,063 as of December 31, 2006.  These loans are secured by specific manufacturing equipment used by the Company and have remaining lives ranging from one to six years and bear interest at rates ranging from 6.4% to 10%.


The Company has no significant capital commitments in 2007, but plans on adding capacity to enhance operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants.  The Company may consider the acquisition of companies, technologies or products in 2007, which 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 through at least the end of 2007.  However, there can be no assurances that such financing will be available at favorable terms, if at all.

Payments on the United Development Company Limited note are funded through rent payments made by the Company on the Company’s Alabama and Florida facilities.

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 in the year ended December 31, 2006,2009, it cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods.

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its results of operations in the last three years.

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements in 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring andcharges, contingencies, and litigation.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including current and anticipated worldwide economic conditions, both in general and specifically in relation to the packaging industry, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

21




 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.  The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its morenecessitated that significant judgments and estimates be used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed these policies with its Audit Committee.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, performance of its obligation is complete, its price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and the Company is reasonably assured of collecting.collection.  If a loss is anticipated on any contract, a provision for the entire loss is made immediately.  Determination of these criteria, in some cases, requires manage­ment’smanagement’s judgments. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine that these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue for any reporting period could be adversely affected.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

The Company reviews long-lived

Intangible assets include patents and allother intangible assets.  Intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized.  Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis, with estimated useful lives ranging from eight to 14 years.  Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Intangible

22



assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their value may be reduced.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.  Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level.  Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, but can be combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics.  The Company’s reporting units include its Component Products segment, Packaging segment (excluding its Molded Fiber operation), and its Molded Fiber operation.  An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of suchthe reporting unit’s net assets may not be recoverable.  Goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment.  Beginning in 2005,exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.  The Company changedcompleted its annual goodwill impairment testing date fromtest as of December 31, 2009.  Fair values of the second quarterreporting units were determined using a combination of several valuation methodologies, including income and market approaches, which include the use of Level 1 and Level 3 inputs (see Note 19 to the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.  The Company believes this new accounting method is preferable, since more complete and accurate information to assess goodwill for impairment is available in the fourth quarter, including actual financial performance to date and information relative to the carrying value of assets.  There is no financial impact as of the year ended December 31, 2006, or on any prior periods, as a result of this change in accounting method.  Recoverability of long-lived assets and definite lived intangible assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate, to the carrying amount.  If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then long-lived assets are written down to fair value.  Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets.  Recoverability of goodwill is determined under a two-step process as described in SFAS 142.Consolidated Financial Statements).  The fair valuevalues of reporting units that have goodwill balances were estimated to be more than 100% greater than their respective carrying values and, therefore, it was determined under step one is also based on a discounted cash flow model.  At December 31, 2006,that no impairment has been identified.  Forecasted cash flows are based upon numerous assumptions used by management, such as revenue growth, margins and asset management.  For purposes of this analysis, the Company reviews its internal forecasts and external data.  The external data consist of data available from customer and competitor commentary, and industry forecasts of future revenue growth.goodwill was impaired.

The estimates of expected cash flows require the Company to make significant judgments regarding future periods that are subject to some factors outside of the Company’s control.  Changes in these estimates can result in significant revisions to the carrying value of these assets and may result in material charges to the results of operations.


 

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.  These allowances for doubtful accounts are determined by reviewing specific accounts that the Company has deemed are at risk of being uncollectible and other credit risks associated with groups of customers.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate or economic conditions were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required with a resulting charge to results of operations.

InventoryInventories

The Company provides reserves for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.  The Company fully reserves for inventories deemed obsolete.  The Company performs periodic reviews of all inventory items to identify excess inventories on-handon hand by comparing on-hand balances to anticipated usage using recent historical activity, as well as anticipated or forecasted demand, based upon sales and marketing inputs through its planning systems.  If estimates of demand diminish or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required with a resulting charge to operations.

Deferred Income Taxes

The Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.  Should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net

23



deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE & 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 December 31, 2006,2009, 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 four debt instruments where interest is based upon either the primePrime rate (and/or LIBOR)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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

UFP Technologies, Inc.

Georgetown, MA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UFP Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended.in the three year period ended December 31, 2009.  Our auditaudits also included the financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2006 and 20052009 as listed in the index at Item 15(a)(2).  These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the auditaudits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our auditaudits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UFP Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20062009 and 2005,2008, and the consolidated results of itstheir operations and itstheir cash flows for each of the years thenin the three year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

UFP TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 20062009 and 20052008

(1)           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

UFP Technologies, Inc. (“the Company”) is an innovative designer and custom converter of foams, plastics, and natural fiber products principally serving the automotive, computer and electronics, medical, aerospace and defense, consumer, and industrial markets.  The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1993.

(a)Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of UFP Technologies, Inc., its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries, Moulded Fibre Technology, Inc. (MFT), Simco Automotive Trim, Inc., Simco Technologies, Inc., and Simco Automotive Technology.Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patterson Properties Corporation.  The Company also consolidates United Development Company Limited, of which the Company owns 26.32% (see Note 7)8).  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)Codification

Effective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company’s accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.  However, references to specific accounting standards in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been changed to refer to the appropriate section of ASC.

(c)Accounts Receivable

The Company periodically reviews the collectibilitycollectability of its accounts receivable.  Provisions are establishedrecorded for accounts that are potentially uncollectible.  Determining adequate reserves for accounts receivable requires management’s judgment.  Conditions impacting the realizability of the Company’s receivables could cause actual asset write-offs to be materially different than the reserved balances as of December 31, 2006.2009.

(c)(d)Inventories

Inventories whichthat include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

The Company periodically reviews the realizability of its inventory.  Provisions are establishedinventory for potential obsolescence.  Determining adequate reserves for inventory obsolescence requires management’s judgment.  Conditions impacting the realizability of the Company’s inventory could cause actual asset write-offs to be materially different than the reserve balances as of December 31, 2006.2009.

(d)(e)Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated andor amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets foror the related lease term, if shorter (for financial statement purposespurposes) and accelerated methods for(for income tax purposes.purposes).  Certain manufacturing machines that are dedicated to a specific program—where total units to be produced over the life of the program are estimable—are depreciated using the modified units of production method for financial statement purposes.


Estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:

Leasehold improvements

 

EstimatedShorter of estimated useful life
or remaining lease
term whichever is shorter

Buildings and improvements

 

31.5 years

Equipment

 

8-10 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

5 - 75-7 years

Property, plant, and equipment amounts are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.  Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

(e)(f)Income Taxes

The Company’s income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of accounting.method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards.carryforwards.  Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.  Should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

F-9



(f)(g)Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, performance of its obligation is complete, its price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and the Company is reasonably assured of collecting.collection.  If a loss is anticipated on any contract, a provision for the entire loss is made immediately.  Determination of these criteria, in some cases, require manage­ment’srequires management’s judgments.  Should changes in conditions cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue for any reporting period could be adversely affected.

(g)(h)Investments in Realty Partnership

The Company has invested in Lakeshore Estates Associates, a realty limited partnership.  The Lakeshore Estates investment is stated at cost, plus or minus the Company’s proportionate share of the limited partnerships’partnership’s income or losses, less any distributions received from the limited partnership.  The Company has recognized its share of Lakeshore Estates Associates’ losses only to the extent of its original investment in, and advances to, this partnership.  The Company’s book value incarrying amount for this investment is zero at December 31, 20062009, and 2005,2008, respectively.

(h)(i)                     Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsGoodwill

The Company reviews long-lived assets and all intangible assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  Goodwill is reviewed at least annually, for impairment.  Recoverability of long-lived assets and definite lived intangible assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate, to the carrying amount.  If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then long-lived assets are written


down to fair value.  Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets.  Recoverability of goodwill is determined under a two-step process as described in SFAS 142.  The fair value of reporting units determined under step one is also based on a discounted cash flow model.  At December 31, 2006, no impairment has been identified.  Forecasted cash flows are based upon numerous assumptions used by management, such as revenue growth, margins and asset management.  For purposes of this analysis, the Company reviews its internal forecasts and external data.  The external data consist of data available from customer and competitor commentary, and industry forecasts of future revenue growth.

The estimates of expected cash flows require the Company to make significant judgments regarding future periods that are subject to some factors outside of the Company’s control.  Changes in these estimates can result in significant revisions to the carrying value of these assets and may result in material charges to the results of operations.

(i)                        Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment on at least an annual basis.  Beginning in 2005, the Company changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from the second quarter to the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.  The Company believes this new accounting method is preferable, since more complete and accurate information to assess goodwill for impairment is available in the fourth quarter, including actual financial performance to date and information relative to the carrying value of assets.  There is no financial impact as of the year ended December 31, 2006, or on any prior periods, as a result of this change in accounting method.  Goodwill of a reporting unit will also be tested for impairment between annual tests if a triggeringan event occurs as defined by SFAS No. 142,or circumstances change that could potentially reducewould indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.  Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level.  Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, but can be combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics.  The Company’s reporting units include its Component Products segment, Packaging segment (excluding its Molded Fiber operation), and its Molded Fiber operation.  An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit belowunit.  The Company completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2009.  Fair values of the reporting units were determined using several valuation methodologies, including a combination of income and market approaches, which include the use of Level 1 and Level 3 inputs (Note 19).  The fair values of both reporting units that had goodwill balances were estimated to be more than 100% greater than their respective carrying value.values and, therefore, it was determined that there was no goodwill impairment in 2009.  There also was no goodwill impairment in 2008 or 2007.

Definite-lived

(j)Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include patents and other intangible assets.  Intangible assets such as patents,with an indefinite life are not amortized.  Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over theiron a straight-line basis, with estimated useful lives generally periods ranging from eight to fourteen14 years.  The Company continually evaluatesIndefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets.carrying amount may be impaired.  Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their value may be reduced.

F-10



(j)(k)Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At December 31, 2009, and 2008, cash equivalents primarily consisted of money market accounts and certificates of deposit that are readily converted into cash.  The Company utilizes zero balance disburse­mentzero-balance disbursement accounts to manage its funds.  These accounts reflect negative cash balances asAs such, outstanding checks clear the banking system.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the negative cash book balances at the end of a periodyear are reclassified to accounts payable.  At December 31, 20062009, and 2005,2008, the amountsamount reclassified werewas approximately $1.7 million$1.6 million.

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, money market funds, and $2.5 million, respectively,certificates of deposit that at times exceed federally insured limits.  The Company periodically reviews the financial stability of institutions holding its accounts, and does not believe it is exposed to any significant risk on cash.

(k)(l)Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(l)(m)Segments and Related Information

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,ASC 280, Segment Reporting, which established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information and operating segments in annual financial statements, and requires reporting of selected information in interim financial reports (see Note 18)21).

(m)                  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which is an interpretation of FASB Statement 109, ”Accounting for Income Taxes.”  FIN 48 requires managements to perform a two-step evaluation of all tax positions, ensuring that these tax return positions meet the “more-likely than not” recognition threshold and can be measured with sufficient precision to determine the benefit recognized in the financial statements. These evaluations provide management with a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements certain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on income tax returns. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.  FIN 48 is effective for the Company’s interim period beginning January 1, 2007.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings.  The Company adopted SAB 108 during the fourth quarter of 2006. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 but does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have any material impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to


choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

(n)Share-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, (“SFAS 123R”) “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes

When accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R,services, 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). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The Company also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS 123R and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for the periods prior to January 1, 2006 presented in this Form 10-K have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.  Under this application, the Company is required to record compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after the date of adoption based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and for the unvested portion of all share-based payments previously granted that remain outstanding which were based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123.  The Company expenses its share-based compensation on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for each award.

The provisions of SFAS 123R apply to share-based payments made through several plans, which are described below.  The

Share-based compensation cost that has been charged against income for thosestock compensation plans is as follows:

(o)Deferred Rent

The Company accounts for escalating rental payments on the straight linea straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(p)Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs incurred related to shipping and handling are included in cost of sales.  Amounts charged to customers pertaining to these costs are included as revenue.

(q)Research and Development

On a routine basis, the Company incurs costs related to research and development activity.  These costs are expensed as incurred.  Approximately $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $1.3 million were expensed in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

(r)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued taxes and other expenses 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.

F-12



(s)Fair Value Measurement

The Company has adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements for all assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.  The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurement or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.

The Company has not elected fair value accounting for any financial instruments for which fair value accounting is optional.

(2)New Accounting Pronouncements

Non-Controlling Interests

The Company adopted updated guidance included in ASC 810, Consolidation, effective January 1, 2009.  The updated guidance in ASC 810 requires (i) that non-controlling (minority) interests be reported as a component of stockholders’ equity; (ii) that net income attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest be separately identified in the consolidated statements of operations; (iii) that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains the controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions; (iv) that any retained non-controlling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value; and (v) that sufficient disclosures be provided that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.  As a result of the adoption, the Company has reported its non-controlling interest in United Development Company Limited (“UDT”) as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets, and the net income attributable to its non-controlling interest in UDT has been separately identified in the consolidated statements of operations.  The prior periods presented have also been reclassified to conform to the current classification required by ASC 810.

Business Combinations

The Company adopted updated guidance included in ASC 805, Business Combinations, effective January 1, 2009.  ASC 805 now requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, and establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this updated guidance will, among other things, impact the determination of acquisition date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets, and tax benefits.  Implementation of this updated guidance resulted in the Company recognizing gains of approximately $81,000 related to its

F-13



acquisition of selected assets of Foamade Industries, Inc. (“Foamade”) in the first quarter of 2009, as well as gains of approximately $558,000 and $201,000 related to its acquisition of selected assets of E.N. Murray Co. (“ENM”) and Advanced Materials, Inc. (“AMI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advanced Materials Group, Inc., respectively, in the third quarter of 2009 (Note 19).  Cumulative acquisition-related costs of $90,000, that would otherwise have been included as part of the acquisition cost prior to the adoption of this updated guidance, were charged to expense as incurred.

Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to change financial reporting of enterprises with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) to require an enterprise to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the enterprise (1) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Also, the guidance requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary and amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE.  Enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE.  This guidance shall be effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

The amount recorded as net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 20062009, and 20052008 represents the amount of tax benefits of existing deductible temporary differences or carry-


forwardscarryforwards that are more likely than not to be realized through the generation of sufficient future taxable income within the carry-forwardcarryforward period.  The Company believes that the net deferred tax asset of $2,420,000$634,000 at December 31, 20062009, is more likely than not to be realized in the carry-forwardcarryforward period.  This balance includes the tax benefit associated with the acquisition of the common stock of Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc., as discussed in Note 19.  Management reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets during each reporting period.

The actual tax provision for the years presented differs from the “expected” tax provision for those years, computed by applying the U.S. federal corporate rate of 34% to income before income tax expense as follows:

Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding during each year.  Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each year.  The weighted average number of shares used to compute both basic and diluted 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 earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.  For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was 190,484, 41,769, and 29,877, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase PlansOption Plan

The Company maintains a stock option plan to provideCompany’s 1993 Employee Stock Option Plan (“Employee Stock Option Plan”), which is stockholder approved, provides long-term rewards and incentives in the form of stock options to the Company’s key employees, officers, employee directors, consultants, and advisors.  The


plan provides for either nonqualifiednon-qualified stock options or incentive stock options for the issuance of up to 1,550,000 shares of common stock.  The exercise price of the incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price for nonqualifiednon-qualified stock options shall be determined by the Stock OptionCompensation Committee.  These options expire over five- to ten-year periods.

Options granted under the plan generally become exercisable with respect to 25% of the total number of shares subject to such options at the end of each 12-month period following the grant of the option.options, except for options granted to officers, which may vest on a different schedule.  At December 31, 2006,2009, there were 731,875605,000 options outstanding under the plan.  These options are not transferable except by will or domestic relations order.

Through July 15, 1998, the Company maintained a stock option plan covering non-employee directors (the “1993 Director Plan”).  Effective July 15, 1998, with the formation of the 1998 DirectorEmployee Stock Option Plan.

Incentive Plan (“1998 Director Plan”), the 1993 Director Plan was frozen.  The 1993 Director Plan provided for options for the issuance of up to 110,000 shares of common stock.  On July 1 of each year, each individual who at the time was serving as a non-employee director of the Company received an automatic grant of options to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock.  These options became exercisable in full six months after the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.  The exercise price was the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  At December 31, 2006, there were 20,000 options outstanding under the 1993 Director Plan.

Effective July 15, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Director Stock Option Incentive Plan (“1998 Director Plan”) for the benefit of non-employee directors of the Company.  The 1998 Director Plan provided for options for the issuance of up to 425,000 shares of common stock.  On June 2, 2004, the Company amended the plan to increase the allowable amount to 725,000 shares.  These options become exercisable in full at the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.  In connection with the adoption of the 1998 Director Plan, the 1993 Director Plan was discontinued; however, the options outstanding under the 1993 Director Plan were not affected by the adoption of the new plan.  At December 31, 2006, there were 404,184 options outstanding under the 1998 Director Plan.

On April 18, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan which provides that all employees of the Company who work more than twenty hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year and who are employees on or before the applicable offering period are eligible to participate.  The 1998 Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Under the Stock Purchase Plan, participants may have withheld up to 10% of their base salaries during the six month offering periods ending June 30 and  December 31 for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at 95% of the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period.  The 1998 Stock Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock.  To date 298,328 shares have been issued.

In June 2003, the Company formally adopted the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan iswas originally intended to benefit the Company by offering equity-based incentives to certain of the Company’s executives and employees, thereby giving them a permanent stake in the growth and long-term success of the Company and encouraging the continuance of their involvement with the Company’s businesses.  The Plan was amended effective June 4, 2008, to permit certain performance-based cash awards to be made under the Plan.  The amendment also added appropriate language so as to enable grants of stock-based awards under the Plan to continue to be eligible for exclusion from the $1,000,000 limitation on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

It has been the Company’s practice to allow executive officers to take a portion of their earned bonuses in the form of the Company’s common stock.  The value of the stock received by executive officers, measured at the closing price of the stock on the date of grant, was $183,500, $343,880, and $256,076 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

Beginning in 2006, RSUs have been granted under the 2003 Incentive Plan to the executive officers of the Company.  The stock unit awards are subject to various time-based vesting requirements, and certain portions of these awards are subject to performance criteria of the Company.  Compensation expense on these awards is recorded based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant, which is equal to the Company’s closing stock price, and is charged to expense ratably during the service period.  Upon vesting, RSUs are, in some instances, net-share settled to cover the required withholding tax, and the remaining amount is converted into an equivalent number of common shares.  No compensation expense is taken on awards that do not become vested, and the amount of compensation expense recorded is adjusted based on management’s determination of the probability that these awards will become vested.  The following table summarizes information about stock unit award activity during the year ended December 31, 2009:

(17)         (18)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

StatementFinancial instruments recorded at fair value in the balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized below based upon the level of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.  Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820, Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and directly related to the amount of Financial Instruments,subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1 defines

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 December 31, 2009, the Company does not have any significant non-recurring measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.  The Company may have additional disclosure requirements in the event an impairment of the Company’s non-financial assets occurs in a future period.

(19)Acquisitions

On March 9, 2009, the Company acquired selected assets of the Hillsdale, Michigan, operations of Foamade.  The Hillsdale operations of Foamade specialized in the fabrication of technical urethane foams for a myriad of industries and bring to the Company further penetration into applications using this family of foams, as well as incremental sales to fold into its operations.  The Company has transitioned the acquired assets to its Grand Rapids, Michigan, plant.

F-26



On July 7, 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ENM, a Denver, Colorado-based foam fabricator, for $2,750,000.  ENM specialized in the fabrication of technical urethane foams primarily for the medical industry.  This acquisition brings to the Company further access and expertise in fabricating technical urethane foams and a seasoned management team.  The Company has leased the former ENM Denver facilities for a period of two years.

On August 24, 2009, the Company acquired selected assets of AMI for $620,000.  Located in Rancho Dominguez, California, AMI specialized in the fabrication of technical urethane foams primarily for the medical industry and brings to the Company further penetration into this market.  The Company has assumed the lease of the 56,000-square-foot Rancho Dominguez location that is due to expire in November 2010.

The Company recorded gains of approximately $81,000, $558,000, and $201,000 on the acquisitions of selected assets of Foamade, ENM, and AMI, respectively, as it acquired the assets in bargain purchases.  The Company believes that the bargain purchase gains resulted from opportunities created by the overall weak economy.
