                      UFP TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)    Basis of Presentation

           The interim consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies,
       Inc. (the Company) presented herein, without audit, have been prepared
       pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
       quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and
       note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
       These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
       financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
       1996, included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K as
       provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

           The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997,
       the consolidated income statement for the three and nine months ended
       September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated statements of cash
       flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, are
       unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
       (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for fair
       presentation of results for these interim periods.

           The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
       1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
       the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.

(2)    Inventory

           Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or 
       market and consist of the following:

(3)    Common Stock

           At December 31, 1996, 695,250 options were outstanding under the
       Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan ("1993 Plan"). The purpose of these
       options is to provide long-term rewards and incentives to the Company's
       key employees, officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors.
       There were 44,000 options issued and 17,500 options exercised in the
       first nine months of 1997 under the 1993 Plan, and 32,750 options
       expired. At September 30, 1997, 689,000 options were outstanding under
       the plan.

           At December 31, 1996, 37,500 options were outstanding under the
       Company's Non-Employee Director Plan. There were 12,500 options issued,
       and 5,000 options exercised in the first nine months of 1997 under the
       plan, and 2,500 options expired. At September 30, 1997, 42,500 options
       were outstanding.

                                       4

 
(4)    Earnings per share disclosure in 10-Qs

           In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings per Share
       (FASB No. 128). FASB No. 128 supersedes APB No. 15 and specifies the
       computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per
       share. FASB No. 128 is effective for financial statements for both
       interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997 and early
       application is not permitted. Accordingly, the Company will apply FASB
       No. 128 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 1997 and restate
       prior period information as required under the statement. The Company
       believes that if the FASB No. 128 had been applied for the three-month
       period ending September 30, 1997, and the nine-month period ending
       September 30, 1997, the impact on earnings per share as currently stated
       would have been immaterial.

(5)    Pro forma results of acquisition of Foam Cutting Engineers, Inc. (FCE)

           The following table outlines the pro forma financial results of UFP
       Technologies, Inc. for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as
       if FCE was purchased on January 1, 1996. Such pro forma financial
       information reflects adjustments for amortization of goodwill and
       interest.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
           Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
- ----------------------------------------------

      The Company's net sales increased 13% to $11,440,309 in the 1997 period
from $10,095,026 in the 1996 period. The increase was primarily attributable to
an increase in sales volume of the Company's moulded fibre products and the
addition of the Foam Cutting Engineers ("FCE") division which was acquired
effective January 1, 1997.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of sales declined to 72.3% in the 1997
period from 73.9% in the 1996 period. The improvement in the cost of sales
margin was primarily attributable to continued volume and manufacturing
efficiency improvements associated with the Company's moulded fibre products.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,353,399
(20.6% of sales) in the 1997 period from $1,997,396 (19.8% of sales) in the 1996
period. The increase was primarily associated with additional selling expenses
related to increased sales and general and administrative expenses associated
with the addition of the FCE division.

      Interest expense increased 26% in the 1997 period to $171,064 from
$135,984 in the 1996 period. The increase was primarily attributable to the
additional borrowings associated with the acquisition of FCE and increases in
capital lease obligations associated with the Company's purchase of additional
moulded fibre equipment.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
- ---------------------------------------------

      The Company's net sales increased 16.4% to $33,600,624 in the 1997 period
from $28,872,206 in the 1996 period. The increase was primarily attributable to
an increase in sales volume of the Company's moulded fibre products and the
addition of the FCE division which was acquired effective January 1, 1997.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of sales improved to 73.4% in the 1997
period from 75.2% in the 1996 period. The improvements in the cost of sales
margin was primarily attributable to continued volume and manufacturing
efficiency improvements with the Company's moulded fibre products.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6,973,435
(20.8% of sales) in the 1997 period, from $5,701,464 (19.7% of sales) in the
1996 period. The increase was primarily associated with additional selling
expenses related to increased sales and general and administrative expenses
associated with the addition of the FCE division.

      Interest expenses increased 35% in the 1997 period to $481,752 from
$356,519 in the 1996 period. The increase was primarily attributable to the
additional borrowings associated with the acquisition of FCE and the increase in
capital lease obligations associated with the Company's purchase of additional
moulded fibre equipment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At September 30, 1997, the Company's working capital was approximately
$2,223,000 including $432,000 of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the
Company had a $5,000,000 bank revolving loan facility, of which $3,300,000 was
outstanding at September 30, 1997.

      On September 30, 1997, the company renewed its borrowing arrangement with
BankBoston. Under the terms of the renewal, the revolving working capital
facility limit was increased from $4.5 million to $5.0 million, and provides for
a new $1.0 million four-year term loan. In addition, the bank agreed to extend
the company an additional $2.0 million equipment line of credit.

      During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, operating activities of
the Company provided approximately $1,664,000 in cash, primarily due to net
income and depreciation and amortization which was offset by increases in
accounts receivable and inventory and a decrease in accounts payable. The
increases in accounts receivable and inventory were primarily due to the
increase in sales volume and product demand.

      Cash used in investing of approximately $2,666,000 was attributable to the
acquisition of FCE and to additions of property, plant and equipment.

      Net cash generated from financing activities totaled approximately
$1,291,000 due to a $1,900,000 increase in short-term borrowings primarily
associated with the purchase of FCE, which was partially offset by principal
payments of capital lease obligations and long-term debt.

      At September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $897,000 outstanding
under two mortgage notes and approximately $122,000 outstanding under two
equipment notes. At September 30, 1997, the current portions of these
obligations, together with the Company's line of credit totaled $3,658,000.

       The Company believes it will continue to have capital expenditure needs
related to the growth of its Moulded Fiber division, including increased
inventory requirements, additional and enhanced manufacturing equipment and,
possibly, establishing a new production site. Although the Company believes that
it will be able to obtain the necessary financing for this expansion, there can
be no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable terms, if at
all.
