Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Three Months Ended April 1, 2006
1)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 1, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's 2005 annual report.
Revenue is recognized on the accrual basis, which is at the time of shipment of goods, except for the advance payment received from VistaPrint, which was originally estimated to be amortized, on a straight line basis, over 36 months from September 2004 through August 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2005, it was determined the company would likely no longer have sales to VistaPrint, and as a result the remaining $14.1 million unamortized portion of the contract buy-out fee was recognized as revenue.
2)
Stock-Based Compensation
MOD-PAC CORP. established a Stock Option Plan that authorizes the issuance of 800,000 shares of Common Stock for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers and key employees, and to align managements interests with those of the shareholders of MOD-PAC CORP. The options must be exercised no more than ten years from the grant date and vest over up to a five-year period. The exercise price for the options is equal to the fair market value as of the date immediately preceding the date of grant.
MOD-PAC CORP. established the Directors Stock Option Plan that authorizes the issuance of 200,000 shares of Common Stock for the purpose of attracting and retaining the services of experienced and knowledgeable outside directors, and better aligning their interest with those of its shareholders. The options must be exercised no more than ten years from the grant date and vest after six months. The exercise price for the options is equal to the fair market value at the date of grant.
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R),Share-Based Payment, applying the modified prospective method. This statement requires all equity-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of earnings based on the grant date fair value of the award. Under the modified prospective method, the Company is required to record equity-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding as of the date of adoption. The Company uses a straight-line method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense, subject to minimum levels of expense, based on vesting. Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of shared-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.
6
The fair value of stock options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average fair value of the options was $5.75 for options granted during the three months ended April 1, 2006 and was $6.24 for options granted during the three months ended April 2, 2005. The following table provides the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted during the three months ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005.

Expected volatility Risk-free rate Expected dividends Expected term (in years) | 41% 4.8% 0% 6.5 | 36% 5.0% 0% 7 | ||||||||
To determine expected volatility, the Company uses historical volatility based on weekly closing prices of its Common Stock since the Companys spin-off from Astronics Corporation in March 2003. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the appropriate term of the options granted. Expected dividends are based on the Companys history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected term of stock options is based on vesting schedules, expected exercise patterns and contractual terms.
The table below reflects net (loss) earnings and net (loss) earnings per share for the three months ended April 1, 2006 compared with the pro forma information for the three months ended April 2, 2005.

VistaPrint Limited.
The Company performed printing and order fulfillment services for VistaPrint Limited, resulting in revenue of $5,516,000 for the first three months of 2005. The Company performed no services for VistaPrint for the first three months of 2006. For the first three months in 2005, the Company recognized $1,833,000 of revenue attributable to the amortization of the $22 million contract buy-out fee received on September 1, 2004 in connection with the new supply agreement. Robert S. Keane is a shareholder in and chief executive officer of VistaPrint Limited and is the son of Kevin T. Keane, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MOD-PAC.
MOD-PAC had a supply agreement with VistaPrint Limited pursuant to which they were VistaPrint Limiteds exclusive North American supplier of printed products through August 30, 2005. This agreement, which was effective July 2004, set prices on a price per unit basis and provided a framework for pricing products covered by any renewals or extensions through August 2007. The unit prices were arrived at by reference to MOD-PACs fully burdened costs for products subject to the agreement, plus a 25% mark-up. The $22 million buyout fee that VistaPrint paid MOD-PAC on September 1, 2004 was negotiated between the two companies. The buyout fee was primarily associated with providing MOD-PAC cost recovery and profit on the production resources developed or
8
acquired which were dedicated to the fulfillment of VistaPrints business in North America through 2011. This agreement replaced a previous supply agreement that extended to 2011, and whereby MOD-PAC charged VistaPrint on a cost plus one-third mark-up basis.

The effect of dilutive stock options has not been included for the three months ended April 1, 2006, since this would be antidilutive as a result of the Companys net loss.
6)
Income Taxes.
The Companys effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2006 is 33.7%, which approximates the Companys expected tax rate for 2006. The effective tax rate of 37% in the first quarter of 2005 was the result of state income taxes.
7)
Capital structure.
The company's Class B stock is fully convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis at no cost, and during the first three months of 2006, 7,362 shares of Class B stock were converted to common stock.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
REVENUES
For the first quarter of 2006 revenues were $11.5 million compared with $16.2 million in 2005, a decrease of 28.8%. This decrease of $4.7 million was primarily due to a $5.3 million decrease in net sales for the commercial print product line related to VistaPrint, our former customer, who in the third quarter of 2005 decided to fulfill their print needs in-house. In addition, in the first quarter of 2005, $1.8 million of revenue was recognized related to the amortization of the $22.0 million contract buy-out fee from VistaPrint. During the fourth quarter of 2005, given the conclusion that the Company does not anticipate any future sales to VistaPrint, the remaining $14.1 million of the unamortized portion of the contract buy-out fee was recognized as income. As a result, the Company did not realize any revenue related to the contract buy-out fee in the first quarter of 2006. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in custom folding carton revenue, a $0.4 million increase in personalized print revenue, and a $0.2 million increase in stock box revenue in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.
EXPENSES AND MARGINS
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2006 decreased to 7.5% from 30.3% during the same period last year. Excluding the amortization of the buy-out fee, gross margin for the first quarter of 2005 was 21.4%. This decrease in gross margin in 2006 is due to underutilization of the factory due to the loss of the volume from VistaPrint, product mix, and increased cost for paperboard purchases.
Selling, general, and administrative costs remained flat at $2.6 million in both the first quarter in 2006 and the first quarter in 2005. Primarily lower advertising costs were offset by stock option expense.
Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2006 was $13,000 as compared to interest income of $18,000 in the first quarter of 2006. This fluctuation is attributable to the reduced temporary investments in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005.
TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 33.7% in the first three months of 2006 compared to 37.0% for the first three months of 2005. The higher tax rate in the first quarter of 2005 was due to state income taxes.
NET (LOSS) INCOME AND (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
The net loss for the first quarter of 2006 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $2.6 million from the net income of $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2005. This decrease was due to the fluctuations discussed above. Diluted (loss) earnings per share was $(0.33) in the first quarter of 2006 and $0.39 in the first quarter of 2005.
LIQUIDITY
Cash used in operating activities during the first three months of 2006 amounted to $2.6 million compared to cash used by operating activities during the first three months of 2005 of $6.0 million. The $2.6 million of cash used in the first quarter of 2006 was primarily due to changes in working capital components. The $6.0 million of cash used in the first quarter of 2005 was primarily due to tax payments associated with the $22.0 million contract buy-out fee.
The Company's capital expenditures of $105 thousand for the first three months of 2006 were down by $978 thousand from the 2005 level. The Company expects capital expenditures up to approximately $1 million in 2006.
The Company has an outstanding authorization from its Board to repurchase up to 100,885 shares at April 1, 2006. The closing price of the Company's common stock as of April 1, 2006 was $11.60. At this price, the repurchase of 100,885 shares would require $1,170,266.
10
We have a $6 million dollar line of credit facility available to us. At April 1, 2006 there were no borrowings on this line of credit, but there are two letters of credit outstanding that total $297,000. Interest on the line of credit is either 1.0% over LIBOR or the prime rate, at the Company's option.
We believe that cash on hand of $0.6 million at April 1, 2006, temporary investments of $0.5 million, cash flow from operations, and the $6 million available on the line of credit are sufficient to meet our cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures, common stock redemptions and debt service for the balance of 2006.
COMMITMENTS
The Company has commitments for items that it purchases in the normal on-going affairs of the business. The Company is not aware of any obligations in excess of normal market conditions, or of any long-term commitments that would have a material adverse affect on its financial condition.
MARKET RISK
There has been no significant change in market risks since December 31, 2005.
As a result of short cycle times, the Company does not have any long-term commitments to purchase production raw materials or sell products that would present significant risks due to price fluctuations. Raw paper stock is available to us from multiple domestic sources; as a result, we believe the risk of supply interruptions due to such things as strikes at the source of supply or to logistics systems are limited.
Risks due to fluctuation in interest rates are not material to the company at April 1, 2006 because of no exposure to floating rate debt and limited market risk on its $0.5 million of temporary investments, because interest is reset to market rates up to every 35 days.
Since May of 2003, over 90% of the Company's power needs are met through natural gas. The Company has investigated supply contracts of various length and currently it has supply arrangements for fixed prices on approximately one half of its estimated usage from October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2009. Historically, the price of natural gas has fluctuated widely. Although the Company is concerned about cost, its main concern is availability. The Company monitors the availability of natural gas, considering such factors as amount in storage, gas production data and transportation data, so that it can take appropriate action if concerns about availability occur. The Company has investigated and tested a back-up power source in the form of a rented transportable diesel powered generator. Although such generators are generally available, the Company cannot be assured that a generator adequate to meet the Company's needs will be available if and when such need should arise.
We have no foreign operations, nor do we transact any business in foreign currencies. Accordingly, we have no foreign currency market risks.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In developing such estimates, management evaluates the facts known to it at the time and applies such facts within the framework of certain critical accounting policies that govern valuation allowances of the Company's assets. These policies include determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to doubtful accounts receivable, lower of cost or market reserves related to the Company's inventories, depreciation allowances and impairment reserves with respect to the Company's long-lived assets and valuation allowances with respect to the realizability of deferred tax assets. Often, management must make certain assumptions about the future when applying these policies. Management uses experience in developing such assumptions about the future.
11
Actual experience will be different than the assumptions made and differences could result in material adjustments to management's estimates.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
