Market Overview

Packaging

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 that do not require custom-designed packaging. Packaging products 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, 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 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 that 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-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.

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 reducing product volume and ultimate waste product disposal through reengineering traditional packaging products; 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 products.

Products

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

Packaging Products

The Company designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of packaging products primarily using polyethylene, polyurethane and cross-linked polyethylene foams, and rigid plastics. These products are custom-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 products include end-cap packs for computers, corner blocks for

4

telecommunications consoles, anti-static foam packs for printed circuit boards, die-cut or routed inserts for cases 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 products 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 product 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, athletic and industrial safety belts, components for medical equipment and devices, 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.

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-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.

5

Marketing and Sales

The Company markets and sells its packaging and component 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 customer in the Company’s Component Products segment, Recticel Interiors North America, comprised 23% of that segment’s total sales and 13% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The top customer in the Packaging segment, Stephen Gould Corporation, comprised 11% of that segment’s total sales and 5% of the Company’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The loss of either Recticel or Stephen Gould Corp. as a customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Manufacturing

The Company’s manufacturing operations consist primarily of cutting, molding, vacuum forming, laminating, and assembly. 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.

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-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

6

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 continuously explore design and manufacturing techniques as well as new innovative materials to meet the unique demands and specifications of its customers. 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 industry is highly competitive. While there are several national companies that sell interior packaging, the Company’s primary competition 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 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.

Patents and Other Proprietary Rights

The Company relies upon trade 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 thirteen 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

7

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 2009 through 2022.

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 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, 2009, and February 17, 2008, totaled approximately $8.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, for the Packaging segment, and $14.5 million and $26.2 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 January 31, 2009,  the Company had a total of 586 full-time employees (as compared to 614 full-time employees as of February 8, 2008), with 297 full-time employees in the Component Products segment (26 in engineering, 215 in manufacturing operations, 25 in marketing, sales and support services, and 31 in general and administration) and 289 full-time employees in the Packaging segment (28 in engineering, 221 in manufacturing, 19 in marketing, sales and support services, and 21 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.

8

The recent worldwide financial turmoil and associated economic downturn has and is likely to continue to harm our business and prospects.

The recent worldwide financial turmoil and associated economic downturn has adversely affected, and is likely to continue to adversely affect, sales of our products, thereby harming our business and prospects.  A slow-down or reduction in industrial output or a contraction of the United States economy may reduce the requirements for certain of our products or for certain end-user products into which our products are incorporated.  These factors would likely result in decreased demand and increased pricing pressures on the sales of our products.

We depend on a small number of customers for a large percentage of our revenues.  The loss of any single customer, 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 represent approximately 40% of our total revenues in both 2008 and 2007.  A single automotive program accounted for approximately 31% and 30%, respectively, of our Component Products segment sales and approximately 18% of our total sales in 2008 and 2007.  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, or whether it will happen on a more aggressive timeframe.  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 from this program to decline over the next three years.  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, for example, due to a loss of liquidity by such a customer due to the current financial downturn, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to collect accounts receivable from any such customer.

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.  For example, a key supplier of technical urethane foams has recently filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code.  As of this point of time, there has been no interruption in the supply of such foams, but there can be no guarantee that such interruption will not occur in the near future.

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

9

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 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 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 12.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2008.  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.

10

We may pursue acquisitions or joint ventures that involve inherent risks, any of which may cause us to not 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, on January 18, 2008, we acquired Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc., as discussed in Note 18 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 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.

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 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. 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. This 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 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 control 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.

11

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, bylaws, and Delaware law could delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us.

We also have a stockholder rights plan designed to protect and enhance 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 enhance value in the event of a takeover. The rights issued pursuant to the plan are not intended to prevent all takeovers of 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 bylaws 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 bylaws, 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 “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.

ITEM 5.                                         MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Price

From July 8, 1996, until April 18, 2001, the Company’s Common Stock was listed on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “UFPT.”  Since April 19, 2001, the Company’s Common Stock has been listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  The following table sets forth the range of high and low quotations for the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ for the quarterly periods from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2008:

Number of Stockholders

As of February 16, 2009, there were 90 holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock.

Due to the fact that many of the shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, the Company is unable to estimate the total number of individual stockholders represented by these holders of record.

Dividends

The Company did not pay any dividends in 2008, although prior to becoming a public company in December 1993, the Company had from time to time paid cash dividends on its capital stock. The Company presently intends to retain all of its earnings to provide funds for the operation of its business, although it would consider paying cash dividends in the future.  The Company’s ability to pay dividends is subject to approval by its principal lending institution.

14

Stock Plans

The Company maintains two active stock option plans to provide long-term rewards and incentives to the Company’s key employees, officers, employee directors, non-employee directors and advisors.  The 1993 Employee Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,550,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The 1993 Director Plan provided for the issuance of 110,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to non-employee directors; this plan was frozen with the inception of the 1998 Director Plan, which provides for the issuance of up to 975,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to non-employee directors.  Additional details of these plans are discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

Through June 2008, the Company also maintained an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The Company also maintains the 2003 Incentive Plan, which provides the Company with the ability to offer equity-based incentives to present and future executives and other employees who are in a position to contribute to the long-term success and growth of the Company.

Each of these plans and their amendments has been approved by the Company’s stockholders.

Summary plan information as of December 31, 2008, is as follows:

(1)  Will be issued upon exercise of outstanding options or vesting of stock unit awards.

ITEM 6.                                         SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7.                                         MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The words “believe,”  “expect,”  “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” and other expressions, which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters, identify forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

16

Examples of these risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation, the following: (i) economic conditions that affect sales of the products of the Company’s customers; (ii) actions by the Company’s competitors and the ability of the Company to respond to such actions; (iii) the ability of the Company to obtain new customers; and (iv) the ability of the Company to execute and integrate favorable acquisitions.  In addition to the foregoing, the Company’s actual future results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth elsewhere in this report and changes in general economic conditions, interest rates and the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Investment in and Advances to Affiliated Partnership

The Company has a 26.32% ownership interest in a realty limited partnership, United Development Company Limited (“UDT”).  In compliance with the provisions of FIN 46R, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of UDT for all periods presented, because — when including related party ownership — the Company effectively owns greater than 50% of UDT.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, the percentage of revenues represented by the items as shown in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations:

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.

On January 18, 2008, the Company acquired Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc. (“S&L”), a Grand Rapids, Michigan-based foam fabricator.  Operating out of a 255,000-square-foot manufacturing plant, S&L specializes in the fabrication of technical urethane foams.  In addition to significantly adding to the Company’s real estate, S&L brings access to this family of foams, modern manufacturing capabilities, and a seasoned management team to the Company.  The acquisition is an example of the

17

Company’s dual strategy of growing its top line organically through a focused marketing plan as well as through strategic acquisitions.

The Company reported record earnings for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, largely due to increased sales and stronger gross margins.  However, it experienced a softening of sales in the fourth quarter of 2008.  Sales to the automotive industry have weakened significantly as holiday shutdowns started earlier than normal and extended well into January 2009, largely attributable to very soft automotive sales in North America.  Given the current condition of the automobile industry as well as the overall weak economy, the Company expects continued soft sales at least through the first quarter of 2009.

2008 Compared to 2007

Net sales increased 17.6% to $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, 2008, from $53.8 million in the 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 23.5% to $49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $39.8 million in the same period of 2007.  The increase in sales is largely due to an increase in sales of $3.9 million to a key electronics customer, as well as increased demand for environmentally friendly molded fiber packaging.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“Gross Margin”) increased to 26.0% in 2008 from 24.4% in 2007.  The improvement in gross margin is primarily attributable to Company-wide continued strategic pricing and manufacturing efficiency initiatives (material and labor as a percentage of sales are down 1.2% and 0.8%, respectively) partially offset by lower gross margins in the Company’s automotive plants (Component Products segment).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) increased 20.9% to $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $15.6 million in 2007.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 17.1% and 16.7% in the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  The increase in SG&A spending is primarily attributable to increased SG&A from the newly acquired plant in Grand Rapids of approximately $2.2 million (Component Products segment) as well as increased equity-based compensation of approximately $600,000 (Component Products and Packaging segments).

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 is 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.

18

Interest expense decreased to approximately $334,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $479,000 in 2007.  The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to lower average borrowings.

The Company recorded income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income of 36.9% and 38.3% for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  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, 2008.  The Company will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets created by recording tax benefits on operating losses and, where appropriate, 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.

2007 Compared to 2006

The Company’s net sales decreased slightly to $93.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, from $93.7 million in 2006.  While 2007 sales were virtually the same as sales in 2006, there was a shift in product mix.  Sales in the Component Products segment decreased approximately 4.2%, largely due to shrinking sales to the automotive market.  The Company attributes the reduction in automotive sales to the end of certain programs in its Michigan plant, as well as the maturing of its large southeast automotive program.  Sales to the automotive industry declined by approximately $1.9 million.  The decline was largely offset by an approximately 4.8% increase in Engineered Packaging segment sales.  The Company attributes this increase primarily to approximately $1.3 million in increased sales of case insert products to key accounts.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“Gross Margin”) increased to 24.4% in 2007 from 20.5% in 2006.  The improvement in gross margin is primarily attributable to manufacturing efficiency initiatives, particularly in the Company’s automotive operations (Component Products segment).  The Company estimates that these initiatives in the automotive operations improved gross margins by approximately 2.0%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) increased 9.7% to $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, from $14.2 million in 2006.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 16.7% and 15.1% in the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  The increase in SG&A spending is primarily attributable to increased sales resources of approximately $700,000 (across both business segments) as well as equity-based compensation resulting from the implementation of SFAS No. 123R (Component Products and Packaging segments) of approximately $250,000.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $479,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, from $964,000 in 2006.  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 pre-tax income of 38.3% and 37.3% for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  The higher effective tax rate for 2007 reflects a reduction in the amount of eligible research and development tax credits expected to be taken on the Company’s 2007 tax returns.  The Company has deferred tax assets on its books associated with net operating losses generated in previous years. The Company has considered both

19

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, 2007.  The Company expects to utilize a significant amount of its federal net operating losses when it prepares its 2007 tax returns.  The Company will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets created by recording tax benefits on operating losses and, where appropriate, 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds its operating expenses, capital requirements, and growth plan through internally generated cash, bank credit facilities, and long-term capital leases.

As of December 31, 2008, and 2007, working capital was approximately $18,688,000 and $14,952,000, respectively.  The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in receivables and inventory of approximately $959,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, due largely to the acquisition of Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc. in January 2008 and a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $2.4 million due to the timing of year-end check runs, partially offset by a decrease in cash of approximately $2.3 million due to the Company’s acquisition of Stephenson & Lawyer. Cash provided from operations was approximately $7.3 million and $10.1 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The primary reason for the decrease in cash generated from operations in 2008 is a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $2.1 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, compared to an increase in accounts payable of approximately $500,000 during fiscal 2007.  This change was caused by the difference in the timing of check runs at the end of each respective year.  Net cash used in investing activities in 2008 was approximately $7.8 million and was used primarily for the acquisition of Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc. of approximately $5.2 million and the acquisition of new manufacturing equipment of approximately $2.8 million.

On February 28, 2003, the Company obtained a credit facility, which was amended effective March 24, 2004, June 28, 2004, and November 21, 2005, to reflect, among other things, changes to certain financial covenants.  The amended facility was comprised of:  (i) a revolving credit facility of $17 million; (ii) a term loan of $3.7 million with a seven-year straight-line amortization; and (iii) a term loan of $2.3 million with a 15-year straight-line amortization.  The amended credit facility called for interest of Prime or LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5%, depending upon Company performance.  The loans were collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets, including its real estate located in Georgetown, Massachusetts.  All borrowings at December 31, 2008, had interest computed at Prime or LIBOR plus 1.0%.  Under the amended credit facility, the Company was subject to certain financial covenants, including maximum capital expenditures and minimum fixed-charge coverage.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.  At December 31, 2008, the interest rate on these facilities ranged from 1.5% to 3.25%.

On January 29, 2009, the Company amended and extended its credit facility with Bank of America, NA.  The facility is comprised of: (i) a revolving credit facility of $17 million; (ii) a term loan of $2.1 million with a seven-year straight-line amortization; (iii) a term loan of $1.8 million with a 20-year straight-line amortization; and (iv) a term loan of $4.0 million with a 20-year straight-line amortization.  Extensions of credit under the revolving credit facility are based in part upon accounts receivable and inventory levels.  Therefore, the entire $17 million may not be available to the

20

Company.  The credit facility calls for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% 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.  The loans are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets, including its real estate located in Georgetown, Massachusetts, and in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Under the credit facility, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenant.  The Company’s $17 million revolving credit facility is due November 30, 2013; the term loans are all due on January 29, 2016.

As a result of the consolidation of UDT, a mortgage note collateralized by the Alabama and Florida facilities, dated September 4, 2002, originally for $470,313, was included within long-term debt in the December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements.  On May 22, 2007, this note was refinanced.  The remaining principal balance of $388,356 on the old note was paid in full.  The new note is secured by the Florida facility and has a principal balance of $786,000.  The note calls for 180 monthly payments of $7,147.  The interest rate is fixed at approximately 7.2%.  The additional funds of approximately $400,000 were used to fund building improvements in the Florida facility.    The outstanding balance on this note at December 31, 2008, is $737,289.

In addition to the above credit facilities, the Company had capital lease debt of $1,612,665 as of December 31, 2008.  These leases 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 7% to 8%.  Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company paid off these obligations in full.

The Company has no significant capital commitments in 2009, 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 2009 that are complementary to its business.  The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving credit facility, together with cash generated from operations and funds expected to be available to it through any necessary equipment financing and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements through at least the end of 2009.  However, there can be no assurances that such financing will be available at favorable terms, if at all.

Commitments, Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations at December 31, 2008, as adjusted for January 2009 refinancing activity, as well as the January 2009 payoff of the capital lease obligations, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its cash flow in future periods:

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

21

revolving credit facility.  Although the Company generated cash from operations in the year ended December 31, 2008, 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.

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 charges, 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.

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 more significant judgments and estimates 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 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’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

Intangible assets include patents and other 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 assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their value may be reduced.

22

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.  At December 31, 2008 the Company redefined its reporting units to include its Component Products segment, Packaging segment (excluding its Molded Fiber operation), and its Molded Fiber operation as separate reporting units for goodwill impairment testing.  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. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2008, and determined that no goodwill was impaired.

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.

Inventory

The Company provides reserves for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of 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 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 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.

23

ITEM 7A.                               QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion of the Company’s market risk includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices.  At December 31, 2008, 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 Prime rate or LIBOR and, therefore, future operations could be affected by interest rate changes; however, the Company believes that the market risk of the debt is minimal.

ITEM 9A.                               CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)          The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)         The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in  Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  Based on the assessment, the management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

24

(c)          There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
