MOD-PAC CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Three Months Ended March 29, 2008
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 March 29, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted U.S. accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2007 annual report on Form 10-K.
Revenue is recognized on the accrual basis, which is at the time of shipment of goods or acceptance at the United States Postal Service.
2)   Stock-Based Compensation
MOD-PAC CORP. established a Stock Option Plan that authorized 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.
MOD-PAC CORP. established the Director’s Stock Option Plan that authorized 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 at the date of grant.
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 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 $2.27 for options granted during the three months ended March 29, 2008. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The following table provides the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted during the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007.
                 
    Three Months Ended
    March 29,   March 31,
    2008   2007
     
 
               
Expected volatility
    39 %     N/A  
Risk-free rate
    2.9 %     N/A  
Expected dividends
    0 %     N/A  
Expected term (in years)
    5.5       N/A  
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.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the three months ended March 29, 2008 is as follows:
(aggregate intrinsic value in thousands)
                         
            Weighted        
            Average Exercise     Aggregate  
    Options     Price     Intrinsic Value

    406,867     $ 9.15     $ 149  
Options granted
    16,000       5.62

Exercisable at March 29, 2008
    280,839     $ 9.35     $  
 
                 
The aggregate intrinsic value in the proceeding table represents the total pretax option holder’s intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of Common Stock of $5.25 as of March 29, 2008, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders with an exercise price less than the market price been exercised as of that date. The intrinsic value of the options exercised is based on the Company’s closing stock price of common stock as of the date the option is exercised. There were no options exercised in the first quarter of 2008. The Company’s current policy is to issue additional new shares upon exercise of stock options.
The fair value of options vested since December 31, 2007 is $0.1 million. At March 29, 2008, total compensation costs related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $0.4 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.51 years.
The following is a summary of weighted average exercise prices and contractual lives for outstanding and exercisable stock options as of March 29, 2008:

    (in thousands, except for per share data)  
    Three months ended

  $ (.15 )   $ (.22 )
 
           
 
               
Diluted loss per share
  $ (.15 )   $ (.22 )
 
           
The effect of dilutive stock options has not been included for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, since this would be anti-dilutive as a result of the Company’s net loss.
6) Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 33.3%, which approximates the Company’s expected tax rate for 2008 exclusive of the recording of any valuation allowances which may be necessary to offset any deferred tax assets which may be recorded in future quarters of 2008. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 32.4%.
The Company’s continuing practice is not to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 29, 2008, the Company had no amounts accrued related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2006 and 2007 remain open to examination by the major state taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
7) Capital Structure
The Company’s Class B stock is fully convertible into Common stock on a one-for-one basis at no cost. During the first three months of 2008, 6,995 shares of Class B stock were converted to Common stock.

8) 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.
9) Line of Credit
The Company has access to a $5.0 million committed line of credit with a commercial bank, which expires in March, 2010. At March 29, 2008, $1.1 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.
10) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), changes 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; however, the FASB provided a one year deferral for implementation of the standard for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on the Company’s 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 adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s 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 SFAS 141R will have, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51.” The objective of SFAS No. 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing additional accounting and reporting standards. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of this statement is prohibited. The Company does not believe that SFAS 160 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161), which is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS 161 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
REVENUE
For the first quarter of 2008 total revenue was $11.6 million compared with $11.3 million in 2007, an increase of 2.8%. The custom folding carton product line sales were $7.0 million compared with $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. The increase of 3.2% was mainly due to growth with one customer. Sales of the Company’s stock box product line were $2.5 million compared with $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2007, down 9.4% primarily due to the earlier Easter season. First quarter 2008 commercial print sales grew 115.7% to $1.0 million compared with sales of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. The commercial print increase was primarily due to additional sales of $0.5 million driven by capability from the DDM — Digital Imaging, Data Processing and Mailing Services LC asset purchase which was effective May 1, 2007. Personalized print sales for the first quarter of 2008 were $1.0 million compared with $1.1 million in 2007, a decrease of 13.5% due to one customer changing from buying product from the Company to making product internally, along with general soft market conditions.

Gross margin was 11.6% for the first quarter of 2008, a decrease from 12.9% in the first quarter of 2007. Higher paperboard, labor and utilities costs along with weaker sales mix in the current year were partially offset by higher sales and lower repairs and depreciation expense, resulting in a lower margin in the current year.
Selling, general, and administrative costs decreased 19.6% to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $2.6 million during the same period in the prior year. This decrease was driven primarily by lower wage related costs, depreciation expense and other cost reduction measures.
TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 33.3%, which approximates the Company’s expectations. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2007 was 32.4%.
NET LOSS AND LOSS PER SHARE
The net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was $0.5 million, an improvement of $0.2 million from the first quarter of 2007. This decrease in loss was due to the fluctuations discussed above. Diluted loss per share was $0.15 in the first quarter of 2008 and $0.22 in the first quarter of 2007.
LIQUIDITY
Cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments were $0.1 million at March 29, 2008, relatively unchanged from December 31, 2007.
The Company has access to a $5.0 million committed line of credit with a commercial bank, which expires in March 2010. At March 29, 2008, $1.1 million was borrowed and an additional $0.25 million was in use through standby letters of credit. The borrowed amount is an increase of $0.7 million from the balance at December 31, 2007. 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.
The increase in the amount outstanding under the line of credit in the first quarter was primarily the result of net losses, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and a share re-purchase in the first quarter, partially offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization expense.
Accrued expenses declined $0.3 million during the first three months of 2008 primarily due to payment of various incentive and severance compensation relating to 2007.
Other liabilities increased $0.2 million during the first three months of 2008 relating to equipment received for which the Company had a commitment to finance and which was subsequently financed in the second quarter of 2008.
Capital expenditures driven primarily by productivity improvement investments, for the first three months of 2008 were $0.7 million compared with $0.1 million for the first three months of 2007. Depreciation and amortization for the first three months of 2008 was $1.0 million compared with $1.2 million in the same period last year.

The Company believes that cash, cash equivalents and the line of credit, are sufficient to meet cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures and debt service for the balance of 2008.
There were 25,000 shares repurchased by the Company during the first three months of 2008. The Company has authorization to repurchase 75,885 shares at March 29, 2008. The closing price of the Company’s stock at March 29, 2008 was $5.25. At this price, the repurchase of 75,885 shares would require $398,396.
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, 2007.
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 March 29, 2008 because of our limited exposure to floating rate debt. The Company had no balance in temporary investments at March 29, 2008.
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, 2007 was generally the same as described above.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
