Overview
MOD-PAC is a high value-added, on demand print services firm operating a unique low-cost business model. MOD-PAC’s strategy is to gain market share through strategic niche applications for its custom folding carton business and to capture a share of the $26 billion commercial print market currently served by approximately 17,000 printers with fewer than 100 employees (source: PIA/GATF Print Market Atlas 2006). We believe that we can capture this market share by leveraging our capabilities to innovate and aggressively integrate technology into the Company’s marketing, order in-take and production operations, and to provide economically-priced, short run, on demand full-color print products and services. We also provide value-added services that include design assistance, finishing services, fulfillment, and asset management. MOD-PAC should realize economic advantage through the scale available in its facilities as it captures growing numbers of small to medium-sized print orders.
Our key differentiator is our success at being a just-in-time producer of short-run, quality on demand print products which enables us to handle large numbers of small orders on a daily basis. Through our lean manufacturing processes coupled with state-of-the-art printing technologies, we are able to address short run, highly variable content needs of our customers with a quicker turn around time relative to industry standards.
We provide products in two primary categories, folding cartons and print services.

Table of Contents

Folding Cartons:
Custom Folding Cartons: Through MOD-PAC’s fully-integrated, automated die design and custom folding carton print production, we can meet the highly variable needs of our custom packaging customers while providing competitive prices for on-demand products in the required quantities. Full service design, employing advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing systems, computer-to-plate speed and accuracy, and rapid turnover print processes give our customers the products they need when they need them. Our customers are generally in the healthcare, pharmaceuticals, confectionary, food and beverage, and automotive industries, including private label manufacturers. We sell directly to these customers, who have requirements that are characterized by high product variability, short production cycles, and variable print run quantities.
Stock Boxes: Our stock box line sells a variety of products including a full line of folding cartons as well as resale products such as trays, bags and other complimentary items. Most of these items are available for customization in quantities of as few as 50. We serve over 4,000 customers in the U.S. and Canada on a direct basis and through distributor networks. Our core target market is the independent confectionery industry; however, we also provide stock packaging during the holiday season to gift retailers and for general consumer use.
Print Services:
Commercial: MOD-PAC produces a variety of commercial print products, including business cards, direct mail post cards, letterhead and corporate stationery, presentation folders, booklets and product flyers. On May 2, 2007, MOD-PAC acquired certain assets of DDM-Digital Imaging, Data Processing and Mailing Services, LC (DDM) for $850,000 in cash plus transaction costs. This transaction has resulted in additional print service capabilities for MOD-PAC including variable print, mailing and fulfillment. Our channels to market include North American businesses through a dealer network, strategic partnerships with access to certain niche direct customers, and targeted regional and national direct customers that will benefit from our print service capabilities, including those customers that we obtained as a result of the DDM asset purchase. We have the capabilities to meet the on-demand needs of our commercial customers by providing economically-priced, short run, high quality products with short turn around times. Our customers are in a wide range of industries including financial services, marketing, medical, political and legal.
Personalized: MOD-PAC produces a variety of event-oriented products for both the corporate and consumer markets including invitations, announcements and napkins for all social occasions such as corporate events, weddings, graduations and anniversaries. We are able to leverage our operational capabilities to deliver highly variable, smaller quantities of personalized print products with short turn around times to meet the customized needs of our customers. Our channels to market include primarily retailers, such as bridal and gift shops, and branded internet web resellers.
General Development of Business
An important event in the Company’s history was when we were spun-off from Astronics Corporation, our former parent company, on March 14, 2003. The spin-off was accomplished by means of a distribution (the Distribution) of all of the outstanding shares of MOD-PAC’s common stock and Class B stock. The shares of MOD-PAC were distributed on a pro-rata basis to the shareowners of Astronics in a tax-free distribution. The Astronics’ Board of Directors set a one-for-two distribution ratio, in which (i) each Astronics common stock owner received one share of MOD-PAC common stock for every two shares of Astronics common stock owned on the record date for the Distribution and (ii) each Astronics Class B stock owner received one share of MOD-PAC Class B stock for every two shares of Astronics Class B stock owned on the record date for the Distribution. At the time of the Distribution, MOD-PAC became a separately traded, publicly held company.
MOD-PAC’s business has evolved considerably over the last five years because of the development of our commercial print product line for VistaPrint, a former customer of the Company, as well as the success of our custom folding carton product line which has gained new customers and captured more business from existing customers. In 2002, we began servicing VistaPrint, which was a front-end web store for commercial print to the small office/home office market. MOD-PAC produced and distributed the orders VistaPrint received. In order to respond to the growth in sales of the commercial print product line for VistaPrint and high custom folding carton growth, MOD-PAC rapidly increased its capacity with capital expenditure investment and increased employment. In July 2004, the Company announced a new agreement to terminate the supply agreement with VistaPrint, which was scheduled to expire in April 2011. At that time, VistaPrint had decided to bring a majority of its printing needs in house. In connection with

3


Table of Contents

this, MOD-PAC received $22 million as a contract buy-out fee from VistaPrint on September 1, 2004 and established a new supply agreement. This new agreement expired on August 30, 2005.
On April 15, 2005, the Company agreed to amend the new supply agreement with VistaPrint, which modified the exclusivity provision regarding the North American market through August 2005. As a result of the amendment, VistaPrint was allowed to produce and ship product to its North American customers from its Windsor, Ontario plant in advance of the expiration of the contract, provided MOD-PAC received payments that approximated the fixed costs and mark-up on any products VistaPrint shipped to its customers. Simultaneously, the Company executed a supply agreement with VistaPrint for the 12-month period ending August 30, 2006. VistaPrint was not obligated to purchase printed products from MOD-PAC under this agreement. Since the fourth quarter of 2005, VistaPrint has been able to fulfill all of their print needs in-house, and therefore, no further orders have been received by MOD-PAC.
Overall, MODPAC continues to grow the folding carton and print services business as it continues to recover from the ending of the business relationship with such a large customer.
Practices as to Maintaining Working Capital
Part of the Company’s strategy is to minimize working capital requirements by reducing production cycle times, generally enabling the Company to generate substantially all its working capital requirements from operations. The Company has access to a committed and secured line of credit with a commercial bank of $5.0 million. At December 31, 2007, the Company had $0.4 million drawn on the line. The Company believes cash equivalents, which totaled $0.1 million at December 31, 2007, in combination with the line of credit and cash generated from its 2008 operations, can meet its obligations, other working capital requirements and capital expenditure needs in 2008.
Competitive Conditions
The print industry is a highly competitive industry, and MOD-PAC faces a number of competitors within each of the markets it serves. In the U.S. folding carton industry, which rapidly consolidated during the 1990’s, our competitors include approximately 300 companies, many of which are independent and privately-held. The largest competitors in this market are primarily focused on the long-run print order market. They include large integrated paper companies, such as Altivity Packaging, Rock-Tenn Company, Caraustar Industries, Inc., Graphic Packaging Corporation and Mead Westvaco. MOD-PAC’s focus is on niche market needs requiring short print runs, which capitalize on our efficient processes and operations to meet customers’ highly variable needs.
For commercial print products, the market we are targeting is served by approximately 17,000 small U.S. printers that typically have less than 100 employees. These small operations do not have the technological capabilities equivalent to MOD-PAC, lack the variety of print and finishing capabilities, variable print and mailing service capabilities and are often geographically constrained to local customers. There are several larger competitors in this sector, such as Modern Postcard, Champion Industries, Consolidated Graphics, Inc., Taylor Corporation and BCT International.
Our success is dependent upon our competitive pricing, innovative and responsive customer support, creative graphics support, print service capabilities and short lead-time delivery performance. We believe our investments in state-of-the-art technology and production processes will enable us to continue introducing new, enticing product designs and value added services. We focus on consistently providing flexible and responsive service for our customers, with just in time delivery.
Employees
The Company employed 454 employees as of December 31, 2007. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.
Raw Materials and Components
Our principal raw materials are paperboard, paper and ink which are available from multiple sources. We purchase most of these raw materials from a limited number of strategic and preferred suppliers. The paper industry is cyclical and prices can fluctuate, and we have been somewhat impacted in recent years by increases in paper prices.

International Quality Standards
Our principal printing and packaging plant is ISO 9001:2000 registered for folding carton production. ISO 9001:2000 standards are an international consensus on effective management practices with the goal of ensuring that a company can consistently deliver its products and related services in a manner that meets or exceeds customer quality requirements. ISO 9001:2000 standards set forth the requirements that a company’s business and production systems must meet to achieve a high standard of quality. As an ISO 9001:2000-registered manufacturer, we can represent to our customers that we maintain high quality industry standards in the education of our employees and the design and manufacture of our products.
Environmental and Other Governmental Regulations
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment. We continually assess our obligations and compliance with respect to these requirements. We believe we are in material compliance with all existing applicable environmental laws and permits and our current expenditures will enable us to remain in material compliance. Because of the complexity and changing nature of environmental regulatory standards, it is possible situations will arise from time to time that require us to incur expenditures in order to ensure environmental regulatory compliance. However, we are not aware of any environmental condition or any operation at any of our facilities, either individually or in the aggregate, which would cause expenditures having a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition and, accordingly, have not budgeted any material capital expenditures for environmental compliance for fiscal 2008.
Our operations are also governed by many other laws and regulations, including those relating to workplace safety and worker health. We believe we are in material compliance with these laws and regulations and do not believe future compliance with such laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial condition.
Information Regarding Industry Segments
The Company operates as one reporting segment. The Company’s customer base is comprised of companies and individuals throughout the United States and North America and is diverse in both geographic and demographic terms. The format of the information used by the Company’s CEO is consistent with the reporting format used in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K and other external information.
Available Information
The Company files its financial information and other materials required by the SEC electronically with the SEC. These materials can be accessed electronically via the Internet at www.sec.gov.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
  §   Significant increases in the cost of energy or raw materials could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s margins and income from operations. Increases in paper costs, which represent a significant portion of our raw material costs, and any decrease in availability of paper could adversely affect our business.
 
  §   We have been dependent on certain customers, the loss of which could have material adverse effects on product sales and, depending on the significance of the loss, our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow. The Company’s ability to generate cash flows is dependent, in significant part, on its ability to reestablish growth in sales volume and maintain or increase selling prices that it realizes for its products.
 
  §   The Company’s ability to successfully implement its business strategies, its efforts to expand its markets for print services and to realize anticipated savings is subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.
 
  §   The Company faces intense competition, and if it is unable to compete successfully against other manufacturers of paperboard, cartons, commercial print, or provider of print services, it could lose customers and its revenue may decline.
 
  §   The Company’s net sales and profitability could be affected by intense pricing pressures. If the Company’s facilities are not as cost efficient as those of its competitors, or if its competitors otherwise choose to lower prices, the Company may lose customers to its competitors, which could negatively impact its revenue, cash flows and financial condition.
 
  §   Delays in our plans to improve manufacturing productivity and control costs of operations could negatively impact our margins.
 
  §   Any prolonged disruption in production due to labor difficulties, equipment failures, destruction of or material damage to any of the Company’s facilities could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net sales, margins and cash flows.
 
  §   If we cannot protect our reputation due to product quality and liability issues, our business could be harmed.
 
  §   We are dependent on key management personnel. We cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or attract additional qualified management in the future.
 
  §   Work stoppages and other labor relations matters may make it substantially more difficult or expensive for the Company to manufacture and distribute its products, which could result in decreased sales or increased costs, either of which would negatively impact its financial condition and results of operations.
 
  §   The Company is subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and costs to comply with such laws and regulations, or any liability or obligation imposed under such laws or regulations, could negatively impact its financial condition and results of operations.
 
  §   The Company may unknowingly, or inadvertently violate the intellectual property rights of others as it innovates new ways to capture, aggregate, process and print orders from the internet which could result in the payment of damages or injunctions which could interfere with the Company’s business.
 
  §   The Company may not be able to adequately protect and defend its intellectual property and proprietary rights, which could harm its future success and competitive position.
 
  §   The Company has incurred operating losses over the past two years, and may not be profitable in 2008. These losses have resulted principally from a reduction in sales due to the loss of a significant customer, VistaPrint Limited. In the event the Company is not unable to increase sales and/or reduce costs to offset the loss of this customer, its operating losses are likely to continue.
 
  §   Unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions, which can be caused by: outbreaks of hostilities or other geopolitical instability; declines in economic growth, business activity or investor or business confidence; limitations on the availability or increases in the cost of credit and capital; increases in inflation, interest rates, exchange rate volatility, default rates or the price of basic commodities; corporate, political or other scandals that reduce investor confidence in capital markets; natural disasters or pandemics; or a combination of these or other factors, may adversely affect, our business and profitability.

The Company entered into a forty-nine year lease for the 230,000 square feet of office and warehouse buildings in November 2003. These buildings are adjacent to our corporate headquarters, printing and manufacturing property and were acquired for potential expansion of such facilities. In 2004, we undertook a survey of these buildings, developed a rehabilitation program, and spent $0.9 million in connection with this program. In 2005, we spent $1.7 million in connection with this rehabilitation program. We spent $0.2 million in 2006 and $0.1 million in 2007. Currently, portions of this space are being rented to third parties. Future rehabilitation expenditures will be based on our anticipated facility requirements.

On March 14, 2003, the Company was spun-off from Astronics Corporation in a tax-free distribution to the shareholders of Astronics Corporation and became listed on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol MPAC. Except for a special $7,000,000 dividend paid to Astronics Corporation on December 31, 2002, in connection with its spin-off from Astronics, the Company has not paid any cash dividends in the five-year period ended December 31, 2007. The Company has no plans to pay dividends as it plans to retain all cash from operations as a source of capital to finance growth in the business. As of February 15, 2008, there were approximately 544 registered shareholders for the Company’s Common Stock and 492 registered shareholders for the Class B stock.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Selected Financial Data, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of many factors including those under the caption “Forward-Looking Information” in Item 1.
Overview
MOD-PAC’s plan for returning to higher growth and profitability is by continuing to gain market share in custom folding cartons, implementing reductions to our cost structure and pursuing aggressive growth in the commercial print services market. We continue to pursue growth from existing custom folding carton customer relationships and development of business through new customers in markets that have requirements characterized by high product variability, short production cycle times and variable print run quantities. We are also working on cost reductions in various areas throughout the Company including tightening management of labor costs, enhancing productivity in operations, reducing paperboard waste and heightening controls on equipment and facility maintenance programs. In addition, we continue to work to grow back the business subsequent to the decision of a very large former commercial print customer to buyout their contract with MOD-PAC and end the business relationship in 2005. During 2007, we purchased the assets of DDM, which resulted in additional capabilities for the Company including variable print, mailing and fulfillment. We plan to grow our commercial print and print services sales through our dealer network, strategic partnerships with access to certain direct niche customers, and targeted direct customers that will benefit from our newly acquired print service capabilities.
Revenue
2007 compared with 2006
For fiscal 2007, revenue was $48.2 million compared with $46.6 million in 2006, an increase of $1.6 million or 3.5%.
The custom folding cartons product line had sales of $29 million in 2007, relatively unchanged from 2006. The Company’s ability to provide short run, highly variable print at competitive prices continues to attract new customers as well as increased sales from existing customers. During 2007, however, we experienced significant declines in two large accounts due to various market driven factors and production slowdowns at their operations. These declines were offset by new customer accounts and increased orders from other existing customers.
The stock box product line had net sales of $10.9 million in 2007, up $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from $10.8 million in 2006. Stock boxes are primarily sold to confectioners.
The commercial print product line had sales of $3.1 million in 2007, up $1.7 million, or 115.3%, from $1.4 million in 2006. $1.4 million of this growth was driven by new capabilities resulting from the DDM asset purchase in May 2007.
The personalized print product line had sales of $4.7 million in 2007, down $0.1 million, or 2.5%, from $4.8 million in 2006. Internet-based sales for 2007 grew to $1.8 million, an 8.9% increase compared with $1.6 million in 2006.
2006 compared with 2005
For fiscal 2006, revenue was $46.6 million compared with $71.2 million in 2005, a decrease of $24.6 million or 34.6%. Included in 2005 revenue was $19.6 million associated with the contract buy-out fee received from our former customer Vista Print. Excluding the revenue related to the contract buy-out fee, 2006 revenue decreased $5.0 million, or 9.7%, from 2005.
The custom folding cartons product line had sales of $29.0 million in 2006, up $5.3 million, or 22.6%, from $23.6 million in 2005. The Company’s ability to provide short run, highly variable print at competitive prices continues to attract new customers as well as increased sales from existing customers. Approximately 57% of this increase came from new customers, while 43% came from higher volumes with existing customers.
The stock box product line had net sales of $10.8 million in 2006, up $1.0 million, or 10.4% from $9.8 million in 2005. Stock boxes are primarily sold to confectioners, which drove most of this growth in 2006.

Table of Contents

The commercial print-on-demand product line had sales of $1.4 million in 2006, down $13.0 million, or 90% from $14.4 million in 2005. Until the fourth quarter of 2005, commercial print product sales were, for the most part, to VistaPrint. Sales within this product line are primarily the result of the relationships formed in 2006 with nationwide print distributors.
The personalized print line had sales of $4.8 million in 2006, up $1.4 million, or 41.4% from $3.4 million in 2005. Sales growth in the personalized print line was mainly the result of web-based sales from partnerships and other internet stores.
Cost of Products Sold
As a percentage of revenue, the cost of products sold were 90.7%, 90.7%, and 60.3% for the years 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Excluding the amortization of the contract buy-out fee, the cost of products sold was 83.2% for 2005.
Cost of products sold remained relatively flat from 2006 to 2007 as the factory remains under-utilized. Improvements in yield and lower depreciation expense were offset by higher labor, repair, paperboard and utility cost. During 2007, we purchased the assets of DDM along with additional mailing services related equipment. We began using the assets purchased from DDM late in the first half of 2007, and most of the additional mailing services equipment was purchased in late 2007 for anticipated use during 2008.
The increase in cost of products sold in 2006 to 90.7% of revenue from 83.2% of revenue, excluding the amortization of the contract buy-out fee in 2005 was primarily the result of under-utilization of the factory caused by the decrease in revenue in the commercial print product line due to the loss of the VistaPrint business.
During 2005, we added additional capacity for finishing including a stitchmaster, folder, and cutter that allowed us to enlarge our portfolio of commercial print products. During the latter half of 2005 and throughout 2006, print capacity was underutilized and pressure was placed on our cost of products sold. Changing sales mix also contributed to the increase in costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Costs
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs were $9.9 million in 2007 compared with $9.5 million in 2006, and $10.5 million in 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A costs were 20.4%, 20.4%, and 14.7%, for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively. Excluding the amortization of the contract buy-out fee, selling, general, and administrative costs were 20.3% for 2005.
The majority of SG&A costs were related to salaries and benefits for sales and administrative personnel. Included in 2007 SG&A was $0.4 million in costs associated with workforce reduction and $0.2 million of accelerated depreciation related to the reduction in useful lives of certain software assets. 2007 SG&A without the workforce reduction costs and accelerated depreciation cost was lower than 2006 due to lower advertising expense, stock option expense and bad debt reserve, partially offset by higher wages due the increased number of employees subsequent to the DDM asset purchase in May 2007.
Reductions in advertising for website promotion were the primary reason for the decline from 2005 to 2006, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million due to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $248 thousand, $205 thousand, and $216 thousand, respectively, in 2007, 2006, and 2005.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 31.2% in 2007, 33.8% in 2006, and 38.0% in 2005. We recorded income tax benefits in 2007 and 2006 due to our losses. The 2007 tax benefit was recorded at a rate lower than customary due to the Company’s goodwill impairment charge which is a permanent non-deductible expense for income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

The 2005 tax rate was higher than would be customary due to an increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to New York State Tax Credits. New York State enacted tax legislation resulting in a change to the New York State apportionment methodology. The enacted legislation will lower the apportionment of the Company’s taxable income to New York State and should result in lower New York State income taxes in future years. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to use or realize New York State tax credits was reduced. As a result, the Company increased its valuation allowance reflecting an increase to income tax expense of approximately $696,000 in 2005.
Net Loss/Income
Net loss in 2007 was $4.1 million, an increase in loss of $0.7 million, or 19.5%, from 2006’s net loss of $3.4 million. Included in non-operating expense was $0.4 million in asset impairment charges for goodwill relating to an acquisition made by the Company in the 1980’s and a plant and equipment impairment.
The net loss in 2006 was a decrease of $14.5 million, or 130.9%, from 2005’s net income of $11.0 million. This decrease was mainly a result of the loss of the VistaPrint business in 2005 and $19.6 million of revenue recognized in 2005 related to the contract buy-out fee.
Earnings Per Share
There was no effect for stock options that were dilutive at December 31, 2007, since the Company had a net loss. The Company bought back no shares in 2007.
The dilutive earnings per share calculation for 2005 excludes 119,077 stock options that were anti-dilutive at December 31, 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company repurchased 2,555 shares of common stock. The purchase of this stock did not affect the results of the basic and diluted EPS calculations. In the third quarter of 2005, the Company repurchased 290,232 shares of its common stock, which was approximately 8% of the shares outstanding at the beginning of the third quarter. These repurchases had an $0.08 per share favorable affect on the 2005 basic EPS and a $0.07 per share favorable affect on the diluted EPS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In 2007, cash used in operations was $1.0 million, compared with $0.8 million provided by operations in 2006. This decrease was primarily the result of higher working capital requirements during 2007. In 2006, cash provided by operating activities was $3.6 million more than the $2.8 million in cash used in 2005. This increase was mainly the result of $7.5 million of income taxes paid in 2005, exclusive of the impact of the contract-buy-out, and by higher 2005 cash flows from other working capital accounts and higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Capital expenditures for 2007 were $2.7 million compared with $1.0 million in 2006 and $4.7 million in 2005. Expenditures in 2007 were primarily for mailing services equipment, including the DDM asset purchase, along with additional investment in systems and building improvements. Expenditures in 2006 were primarily related to building improvements; certain productivity improvement equipment; and software, used for on-line proofing, order fulfillment and warehouse management. Expenditures in 2005 of $4.7 million primarily related to additional production equipment and, to a lesser extent, additional production facilities. The Company anticipates up to approximately $1.5 million in capital spending for 2008.
Temporary investments, along with cash and equivalents, declined in 2007 to fund operations, capital expenditures and the DDM asset purchase. Temporary investments declined $1.7 million in 2006 and primarily resulted in an increase to cash and cash equivalents. The Company used temporary investments in 2005 of $7.5 million to pay income taxes above our regular requirements as all of the income taxes associated with the advanced buy-out fee were paid in 2005.
Throughout most of 2007, the Company had access to an $8.0 million committed line of credit with a commercial bank. As the fourth quarter of 2007 ended, it was determined that the Company would violate its financial covenants at year end. The Company’s commercial bank has granted a waiver for the covenant violations. In addition, the Company has executed an amendment to the credit agreement which lowers the amount available on the committed line of credit to $5.0 million, in order to reduce costs, and also to change the financial covenants for 2008 and 2009 to

more favorable levels. The line is secured by certain assets of MOD-PAC and the agreement expires in March 2010. The interest rate charged for borrowings under the terms of the facility provide for prime rate plus 50 basis points or LIBOR plus 150 basis points.
In addition to the $0.4 million drawn on the Company’s committed line of credit at year end, an additional $0.25 million was in use through standby letters of credit. Also, the Company separately financed the purchase of certain equipment in the fourth quarter of 2007 in the amount of $0.2 million, and has a commitment to finance the purchase of certain equipment delivered at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008, in the amount of $0.3 million.
A $6 million discretionary lien of credit was available to MOD-PAC during 2006 and 2005 from a commercial bank. The line of credit was used once in 2006; however, no amount was outstanding on the line at December 31, 2006. The Company did not use the line of credit in 2005.
During 2005, the Company expended $3.5 million for the repurchase of a total of 292,787 shares, or approximately 8.5% of the total shares outstanding. In August of 2005, the Company received authorization from its Board to purchase an additional 200,000 shares for its share repurchase program. There were no shares repurchased in 2006 and 2007. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s outstanding authorization for repurchase of shares is 100,885. The closing price of the Company’s stock as of December 31, 2007 was $7.49. At this price, the repurchase of 100,885 shares would require $755,629.
The Company believes that cash, cash equivelents, projected cash flow from operations, and the committed line of credit are sufficient to meet its cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures and common stock redemptions, if any, for 2008. The Company expects to maintain compliance with the covenants on its committed line of credit throughout 2008.

Relationship with VistaPrint Limited
The Company performed no printing and order fulfillment services for VistaPrint Limited in 2007 and 2006. Services provided in 2005 generated revenue of $12.0 million. There were no outstanding receivables from VistaPrint as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. In 2005, the Company also recognized $19.6 million 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 Limited’s 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-PAC’s 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 August 31, 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 acquired which were dedicated to the fulfillment of VistaPrint’s 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.
On April 15, 2005, the Company agreed to an amendment of the supply agreement with VistaPrint, which modified the exclusivity provision regarding the North American market. As a result, VistaPrint was allowed to produce and ship product to its customers in North America from its Windsor, Ontario plant prior to August 31, 2005, the expiration of the supply agreement, in exchange for payments to MOD-PAC that approximated MOD-PAC’s fixed costs and mark-up on such costs for the actual products VistaPrint ships. These payments totaled $2,154,000 in 2005. Simultaneously, the Company executed a supply agreement with VistaPrint for the 12 month period ending August 30, 2006. This agreement established unit pricing for volumes above $750,000 per month, and for volumes below that threshold, a low volume surcharge was put into place. However, VistaPrint was not obligated to purchase printed products from MOD-PAC under this agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2005, given the final conclusion that the Company no longer expected to have sales to VistaPrint, the remaining $14.1 unamortized portion of the contract buy-out fee was recognized as revenue.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June of 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement. The scope of this consensus includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to sales, use, value added and some excise taxes. Additionally, this consensus seeks to address how a company should address the disclosure of such items in interim and annual financial statements, either gross or net pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting Policies. EITF Issue 06-3 is effective for all financial reports for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company presents sales net of sales taxes in its consolidated statement of operations. No change in presentation resulted from the adoption of EITF 06-3.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 requires a new evaluation process for all tax positions taken. If the probability for sustaining said tax position is greater than 50%, then the tax position is warranted and recognition should be at the highest amount which would be expected to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Interpretation 48 requires expanded disclosure at each annual reporting period unless a significant change occurs in an interim period. Differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of Interpretation 48 and the amounts reported after adoption are to be accounted for as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is

15


Table of Contents

effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.  
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedging accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB Statement 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) was issued. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also requires transactions costs related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations; the effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 141R related to future acquisitions, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, which are discussed in Note 2 of Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report. The critical accounting policies have been reviewed with the audit committee of our board of directors.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on the accrual basis, which is at the time of shipment of goods or acceptance at the United States Postal Service.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
A trade receivable is recorded at the value of the sale. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Generally, amounts not collected from customers within 120 days of the due date of the invoice are credited to an allowance for doubtful accounts. After collection efforts have been exhausted, uncollected balances are charged off to the allowance.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined in accordance with the first-in, first-out method. Costs included in inventory are the cost to purchase the raw material, the direct labor incurred on work in progress and finished goods, and an overhead factor based on other indirect manufacturing costs incurred.
Deferred Tax Asset and Liability Valuation Allowances
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of tax benefits not expected to be realized. Investment tax credits are recognized on the flow through method. Specifically and with respect to deferred tax assets, the Company had gross deferred assets at December 31, 2007 of $4.3 million related to New York State tax credits. These credits are subject to certain statutory provisions, such as length of available carry-forward period and minimum tax, which reduces the probability of realization of the full value of such credits. Management estimates the amount of credits the Company is likely to realize in the future based on actual historical realization rates and the statutory carry-forward period. As a result of the analysis performed as of December 31, 2007, management adjusted the valuation allowance for these credits to $4.3 million.
Stock-Based Compensation
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” applying the modified prospective method. Under this method, the Company is required to record equity-based compensation expense for all awards granted after date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding as of the date of adoption. Stock compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company previously accounted for stock options under the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. The exercise price equals the market price of the underlying common shares on the date of grant and, therefore, no compensation expense was recognized.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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 and, 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 December 31, 2007 because of minimal exposure to floating rate debt. The Company had no balance in temporary investments at December 31, 2007.
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 lengths and currently it has supply arrangements for fixed prices on approximately 95% of its estimated usage through April, 2008 and approximately 50% of its estimated usage from May 2008 through September 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 would 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.
The market risk that the Company was exposed to at December 31, 2006 was generally the same as described above.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MOD-PAC CORP. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MOD-PAC CORP. at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2006 the Company changed its method of accounting for stock based compensation.

MOD-PAC CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
On March 14, 2003, MOD-PAC CORP. (the Company) was spun-off from Astronics Corporation by means of a tax-free distribution (the Distribution) of all of the outstanding shares of MOD-PAC CORP.’s common stock and Class B stock to Astronics shareholders. The Astronics Board of Directors set a one-for-two distribution ratio, in which (i) each Astronics common stock owner received one share of MOD-PAC CORP. common stock for every two shares of Astronics common stock owned on the record date for the Distribution and (ii) each Astronics Class B stock owner received one share of MOD-PAC CORP. Class B for every two shares of Astronics Class B stock owned on the record date for the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, MOD-PAC CORP. became a separately traded, publicly-held company.
Prior to the Distribution, the Company was recapitalized. Astronics exchanged its existing shares of our common stock for approximately 2,868,316 shares of our common stock and approximately 1,007,341 shares of our Class B stock.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue and Expense Recognition
The Company is a manufacturer and printer of folding cartons used primarily in the confectionary and consumer product markets. The Company also markets its print and print service capabilities to the commercial and personalized print markets. Commercial printing includes business cards, direct mail postcards, letterhead and corporate stationery, presentation folders, booklets and product flyers. Print services include variable print, mailing and fulfillment. Personalized printing includes items used for social occasions such as invitations, announcements and napkins. The vast majority of the Company’s sales are to customers in North America, although the Company also ships orders to destinations outside of North America on behalf of its North American customers.
Revenue is recognized on the accrual basis, which is at the time of shipment of goods or acceptance at the United States Postal Service, 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, given the final conclusion that the Company would likely no longer have sales to VistaPrint, the remaining $14.1 million unamortized portion of the contract buy-out fee was recognized as revenue. There are no significant contracts allowing for right of return. A trade receivable is recorded at the value of the sale. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Generally, amounts not collected from customers within 120 days of the due date of the invoice are credited to an allowance for doubtful accounts. After collection efforts have been exhausted, uncollected balances are charged off to the allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no revenue from VistaPrint Limited. In 2005 VistaPrint Limited accounted for 47.4% of the Company’s revenue. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in costs of products sold.
All repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense.
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and were $210,000 in 2007, $380,000 in 2006 and $1,056,000 in 2005.
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” applying the modified prospective method. Under this method, the Company is required to record equity-based compensation expense for all awards granted after date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding as of the date of adoption. Stock compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company previously accounted for stock options under the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. The exercise price equals the market price of the underlying common shares on the date of grant and, therefore, no compensation expense was recognized.

(3)   Net earnings and earnings per share prior to 2006 represents pro forma information based on SFAS No. 123.
(Loss) earnings Per Share
(Loss) earnings per share computations are based upon the following table:
                         
    Years Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except per share data)   2007   2006   2005
 
Net (loss) income
  $ (4,101 )   $ (3,431 )   $ 11,028  
 
Basic (loss) earnings per share weighted average shares
    3,450       3,442       3,593

  $ (1.19 )   $ (1.00 )   $ 2.97  
 
The diluted earnings per share calculations exclude 119,077 stock options that were anti-dilutive at December 31, 2005. There was no effect for stock options that were dilutive at December 31, 2007 and 2006 since the Company had a net loss in both years.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and on accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: buildings, 10-40 years; computer software, 3 years; and machinery and equipment, 3-10 years.
The costs of properties sold, or otherwise disposed of, and the accumulated depreciation thereon is eliminated from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Renewals and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are expensed.
Machinery and equipment includes $119,000 and $645,000 of unamortized computer software costs at December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The expense related to the amortization of capitalized computer software costs for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $629,000, $363,000 and $192,000, respectively.
In December, 2007 the estimated lives of certain software assets were changed. The effect was $0.2 million in additional amortization costs recognized in 2007.

MOD-PAC CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of tax benefits not expected to be realized. Investment tax credits are recognized on the flow through method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents.
Temporary Investments
Temporary investments represent municipal or state agency debt securities that are classified as available for sale and are carried at market value, which approximates cost, because these securities bear interest that is generally reset to market rates up to every 35 days. As a result of the periodic reset of the interest rates, no realized or unrealized gains or losses exist to be recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company had no temporary investments at December 31, 2007.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined in accordance with the first-in, first-out method. Costs included in inventory are the cost to purchase the raw material, the direct labor incurred on work in progress and finished goods, and an overhead factor based on other indirect manufacturing costs incurred. Inventories at December 31 were as follows:
                 
(in thousands)   2007   2006
 
Finished goods
  $ 2,214     $ 1,556  
Work in progress
    118       136  
Raw material
    1,209       1,543  
     
Total inventory
  $ 3,541     $ 3,235  
     
Capital Stock
Class B Stock is identical to common stock, except Class B Stock has ten votes per share, and is automatically converted to common stock on a one-for-one basis when sold or transferred, and cannot receive dividends unless an equal or greater amount is declared on common stock. As of December 31, 2007, 1,073,645 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Class B stock and for options granted under the employee and director stock option plans.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are initially recorded at cost. The carrying value of these assets is evaluated for recoverability whenever adverse effects or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairments are recognized if future undiscounted cash flows and earnings from operations are not expected to be sufficient to recover the long-lived assets. The carrying amounts are then reduced by the estimated shortfall of the discounted cash flows. In December 2007, $97,000 of impaired plant assets were written-off to expense as a component of other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Information Regarding Industry Segments
The Company operates as one reporting segment. The Company’s customer base is comprised of companies and individuals throughout the United States and North America and is diverse in both geographic and demographic terms. The format of the information used by the Company’s CEO is consistent with the reporting format used in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K and other external information.
Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill is the result of the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired from an acquisition. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $319,000 of goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter, and whenever events occur or circumstances change that indicates there may be impairment. The process of evaluating the Company’s goodwill for impairment is subjective and requires significant estimates. These estimates include judgments about future cash flows that are dependent on internal forecasts, long-term growth rates and estimates of the weighted average cost of capital used to discount projected cash flows. In December 2007, management concluded that the $319,000 of goodwill was impaired based on the discounted projected cash flows. As a result, this asset was written-off to expense as a component of other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

In June of 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement. The scope of this consensus includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to sales, use, value added and some excise taxes. Additionally, this consensus seeks to address how a company should address the disclosure of such items in interim and annual financial statements, either gross or net pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting Policies. EITF Issue 06-3 is effective for all financial reports for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company presents sales net of sales taxes in its consolidated statement of operations. No change in presentation resulted from the adoption of EITF 06-3.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 requires a new evaluation process for all tax positions taken. If the probability for sustaining said tax position is greater than 50%, then the tax position is warranted and recognition should be at the highest amount which would be expected to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Interpretation 48 requires expanded disclosure at each annual reporting period unless a significant change occurs in an interim period. Differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of Interpretation 48 and the amounts reported after adoption are to be accounted for as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.  
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedging accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB Statement 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) was issued. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets

acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also requires transactions costs related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations; the effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 141R related to future acquisitions, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. Long-Term Debt
In November of 2003, the Company entered into a lease transaction, which gave it control of the real estate complex adjoining its main production facility. This complex consists of approximately 13 acres and buildings totaling approximately 270,000 square feet. It is a capital lease for accounting and financial reporting purposes, meaning that the land and buildings are capitalized and the building is amortized, while the lease obligation is treated as the equivalent of a mortgage note. The lease is for a term of forty-nine years with the option to buy the underlying real estate and terminate the lease in the 20th year. Lease payments are $155,000 annually for the first seven years, and $180,000 annually for the remainder of the lease. The purchase option in the twentieth year is $1.8 million, which represents the principal balance of the obligation. The carrying value of the underlying real estate, including improvements, was $4,309,000 at December 31, 2007. Amortization of such assets is included with depreciation and amortization in the accompanying statement of cash flows. Lease payments, recorded as interest expense, in each of the next two years are $155,000, and starting in November 2010, the lease payment will increase to $180,000 annually. The aggregate of the lease payments from inception over the lease term is $8,645,000. The Company has non-cancelable sub-leases for space in the complex that have scheduled rents as follows over the next four years: $395,000 in 2008, $119,000 in 2009, $30,000 in 2010, and $5,000 in 2011.
The Company has access to a committed line of credit with a commercial bank. The balance owed on the line is $400,000 at December 31, 2007. Repayment is due in March, 2010. On March 8, 2007, the Company replaced the discretionary line of credit with an $8 million committed line of credit under a three year term with a different bank. The line is secured by certain assets of MOD-PAC and is subject to certain covenants. As the fourth quarter ended, it was determined that the Company would violate its financial covenants at year-end. The Company’s commercial bank granted a waiver for the covenant violations. In addition, the Company has executed an amendment to the credit agreement which lowered the committed line of credit to $5 million, in order to reduce costs, and also to change future financial covenants to more favorable levels. At December 31, 2007 $0.4 million was borrowed and an additional $0.25 million was in use through standby letters of credit. Interest on the line of credit is either LIBOR plus 150 basis points or the prime rate plus 50 basis points, at the Company’s option.
Long-term debt consists of the following:
                 
(in thousands)   2007   2006
 
Capitalized lease obligation due in 2023; bears interest at 10%; payable monthly
  $ 1,800     $ 1,800

4. Operating Leases
The Company leases several pieces of equipment and two automobiles under separate operating leases. Rental expense under these leases was $561,000 in 2007, $492,000 in 2006, and $492,000 in 2005. Minimum future rental payments under non-cancelable lease obligations as of December 31, 2007 are: 2008, $540,000; 2009, $445,000; 2010, $301,000; 2011, $10,000 and none thereafter.

5. Transactions with VistaPrint Limited
The Company performed no printing and order fulfillment services for VistaPrint Limited in 2007 and 2006. Services provided in 2005 generated revenue of $12.0 million. There were no outstanding receivables from VistaPrint as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. In 2005, the Company also recognized $19.6 million 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 Limited’s 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-PAC’s 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 acquired which were dedicated to the fulfillment of VistaPrint’s 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.
On April 15, 2005, the Company agreed to an amendment of the supply agreement with VistaPrint, which modified the exclusivity provision regarding the North American market. As a result, VistaPrint was allowed to produce and ship product to its customers in North America from its Windsor, Ontario plant prior to August 31, 2005, the expiration of the supply agreement, in exchange for payments to MOD-PAC that approximated MOD-PAC’s fixed costs and mark-up on such costs for the actual products VistaPrint ships. These payments totaled $2,154,000 in 2005. Simultaneously, the Company executed a supply agreement with VistaPrint for the 12 month period ending August 30, 2006. This agreement established unit pricing for volumes above $750,000 per month, and for volumes below that threshold, a low volume surcharge was put into place. However, VistaPrint was not obligated to purchase printed products from MOD-PAC under this agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2005, given the final conclusion that the Company no longer expected to have sales to VistaPrint, the remaining $14.1 million unamortized portion of the contract buy-out fee was recognized as revenue.
6. Stock Option and Purchase Plans
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 management’s 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 of the common stock at the date of grant.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 to align 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 of the common stock 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.
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average fair value at the grant date of options granted during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $3.12, $4.76 and $6.08 respectively. The following table provides the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted during 2007, 2006 and 2005.
                         
    Years Ended December 31,
    2007   2006   2005
Expected volatility
    38 %   38% — 41%   36% — 42%
Risk-free rate
    3.4 %   4.6% — 4.8%   4.0% — 5.0%
Expected dividends
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Expected term (in years)
  5.5 — 6.5   5.5 — 6.5     7.0  
To determine expected volatility, the Company uses historical volatility based on weekly closing prices of its Common Stock since the Company’s 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 Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected term of stock options is based on vesting schedules, expected exercise patterns and contractual terms.

MOD-PAC CORP. established the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to encourage its employees to invest in the Company. The plan provides employees that have been with the Company for at least a year the option to invest up to 20% of their cash compensation (up to an annual maximum of $20,000) in the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, determined each October 1. Employees are allowed to enroll annually. Employees indicate the number of shares they wish to obtain through the program and their intention to pay for the shares through payroll deductions over the annual cycle of October 1 through September 30. Employees can withdraw anytime during the annual cycle and all money withheld from the employee’s pay is returned with interest. If an employee remains enrolled in the program, enough money will have been withheld from the employees’ pay during the year to pay for all the shares that the employee opted for under the program. At December 31, 2007, employees have enrolled to purchase 20,629 shares at $7.31 per share on September 30, 2008.

On December 31, 2007, the Company had various state tax credit carry forwards of $6,429,000 ($6,145,000 in 2006) including approximately $2,091,000 of state investment tax credits expiring through 2022 and $4,338,000 of other business credits. In 2005, New York State enacted tax legislation resulting in a change to the New York State apportionment methodology. The enacted legislation will lower the apportionment of the Company’s taxable income to New York State and should result in lower New York State income taxes. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to use or realize New York State tax credits will be reduced. As a result, the Company increased its valuation allowance reflecting an increase to income tax expense of approximately $696,000 in 2005.
The Company’s continuing practice is not to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no amounts accrued related to uncertain tax positions.
8. Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan
The Company has a Qualified Profit Sharing / 401(k) Plan for the benefit of its eligible full-time employees, the MOD-PAC CORP. Qualified Profit Sharing /401(k) Plan, for annual contributions based on percentages of pre-tax income. In addition, employees may contribute a portion of their salary to the 401(k) Plan, which is partially matched by the Company. The Plan may be amended or terminated at any time. Total charges to income for the Company plan were $98,000, 346,000, and $586,000 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

10. Concentrations Related to Production Assets, Employees and Power
Nearly all of the Company’s production assets and its employees are located in Western New York State. The Company believes that the supply of labor and the infrastructure to support the supply of materials and the shipment of product from its facilities is generally adequate. 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 lengths and currently it has supply arrangements for fixed prices on approximately 95% of its estimated usage through April, 2008 and approximately 50% of its estimated usage from May 2008 through September 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.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Company 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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is made known to them on a timely basis, and that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
Management’s report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based upon the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2007.
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s 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.
