                             UFP TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)    Basis of Presentation

           The interim consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies,
       Inc. (the Company) presented herein, without audit, have been prepared
       pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
       quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and
       note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
       These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
       financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
       1998, included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K as
       provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

           The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1999, the
       consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended
       June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
       the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, are unaudited but, in the
       opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal,
       recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of results for
       these interim periods.

           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
       and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
       during the reporting period.

           The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999, are
       not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
       fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.

           Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or

(3)    Common Stock
           At December 31, 1998, 775,000 options were outstanding under the
       Company's 1993 Employee Stock Option Plan ("1993 Plan"). The purpose of
       these options is to provide long-term rewards and incentives to the
       Company's key employees and officers. In the first six months of 1999,
       54,444 options were issued, 135,250 options were exercised, and 148,000
       options expired under the 1993 Plan. At June 30, 1999, 546,194 options
       were outstanding under the plan.

           Through July 15, 1998, the Company maintained a stock option plan
       covering non-employee directors (the "1993 Director Plan"). Effective
       July 15, 1998, with the formation of the 1998 Director Stock Option
       Incentive Plan ("1998 Director Plan"), the 1993 Director Plan was frozen.
       The 1993 Director Plan provided for options for the issuance of up to
       110,000 shares of common stock. On July 1 of each year, each individual
       who at the time was serving as a non-employee director of the Company
       received an automatic grant of options to purchase 2,500 shares of common
       stock. These options became exercisable in full six months after the date
       of grant and will expire ten years from the date of grant. The exercise
       price was the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
       At June 30, 1999, 55,000 options were outstanding under the 1993 Director
       Plan.

           Effective July 15, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Director Stock
       Option Incentive Plan ("1998 Director Plan") for the benefit of
       non-employee directors of the Company. The 1998 Director Plan provides
       for options for the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of common stock.
       These options become exercisable in full six months after the date of
       grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. In connection with the
       adoption of the 1998 Director Plan, the 1993 Director Plan was
       discontinued; however, the options outstanding under the 1993 Director
       Plan were not affected by the adoption of the new plan. In the first six
       months of 1999, 23,400 options were issued. At June 30, 1999, 33,200
       options were outstanding under the 1998 Director Plan.

           On April 18, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan
       which provides that all employees of the Company who work more than
       twenty hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year and
       who are employees on or before the applicable offering period are
       eligible to participate. The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify
       as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal
       Revenue Code of 1986. Under the Stock Purchase Plan participants may have
       withheld up to 10% of their base salaries during the six month offering
       periods ending June 30 and December 31 for the purchase of the Company's
       common stock at 85% of the lower of the market value of the common stock
       on the first or last day of the offering period. The Stock Purchase Plan
       provides for the issuance of up to 150,000 shares of common stock.

(4)    Earnings per share

           The Company has adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings
       per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of
       common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the
       weighted average of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalent
       shares outstanding during each period. The weighted average number of
       shares used to compute diluted income per share consisted of the
       following:

5)     Segment Reporting

           The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
       No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
       Information.

           The Company is organized based on the nature of the products and
       services that it offers. Under this structure, the Company produces
       products within two distinct segments: Protective Packaging and Specialty
       Applications. Within the Protective Packaging segment, the Company
       primarily uses polyethylene and polyurethane foams, sheet plastics and
       pulp fiber to provide customers with cushion packaging for their
       products. Within the Specialty Applications segment, the Company
       primarily uses cross-linked polyethylene foam to provide customers in the
       automotive, athletic, leisure and health and beauty industries with
       engineered product for numerous purposes.

           The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
       described in Note 1 of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
       year ended December 31, 1998, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
       Commission. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating
       segment based on net income.

           Inter-segment transactions are uncommon and not material. Therefore,
       they have not been separately reflected in the financial table below. The
       totals of the reportable segments' revenues, net profits and assets agree
       with the Company's comparable amount contained in the audited financial
       statements. Revenues from customers outside of the United States are not
       material. No one customer accounts for more than 10% of the Company's
       consolidated revenues.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

      Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999, were $14.9
million or 32% above sales of $11.3 million in the same period last year. Sales
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, were $28.4 million or 29% higher
than sales of $22.1 million in 1998. The sales increases primarily reflect the
contribution of Pacific Foam as well as internal growth fueled by targeted
markets within the Specialty Products group. The Company acquired Pacific Foam,
a manufacturer of specialty foam products for the health and beauty industry, in
November 1998.

GROSS PROFIT

      Gross Profit as a percentage of sales declined in both the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1999, from 27.8% and 27.2% to 24.8% and 25.1%,
respectively. The declines were caused by the cost of integrating Pacific Foam
as well as continued investments in long-term programs within the automotive
industry.

SELLING GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1999, were $2,771,000 or 15.8% higher than SG&A of
$2,393,000 in the same period a year ago. SG&A for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1999, was $5,580,000 or 18.4% higher than SG&A of $4,711,000 last year.
Both increases are primarily attributable to the incremental SG&A of Pacific
Foam. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales declined to 18.6% and 19.7% from
21.1% and 21.4% in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and June
30, 1998, respectively. The improvements are primarily attributable to the
economies of scale achieved as the result of the Company's sales growth.

OTHER

      Interest expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
were $190,000 and $135,000, respectively. Interest for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, were $313,000 and $279,000, respectively. The
increase in both periods is primarily attributable to higher average borrowings
associated with the financing of the Pacific Foam acquisition.

      The Company's effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, was 39.8% and 41.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, was 40.3% and 41.4%,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

      At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company's working capital was
approximately $2,416,000 and $2,099,090, respectively. The increase in working
capital was primarily attributable to an increase in receivables of
approximately $1,283,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 1999,
operating activities of the Company used approximately $574,000 in cash. During
the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, operating activities of the Company
provided approximately $1,757,000 in cash. The decrease was primarily
attributable to an increase in receivables as well as a larger pay-down of
accrued expenses and tax liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities
during the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, was approximately
$1,111,000 and $594,000, respectively. The primary use of funds for investing
activities in the current six-month period was to purchase machinery and
equipment used in the manufacturing process. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 was approximately
$1,682,000 compared to cash used by financing activities of approximately
$516,000 in 1998. The change reflects differences in net borrowing activity
between the two periods primarily as a result of working capital requirements in
the period ended June 30, 1999.

      While the Company does not have any significant capital commitments, it
intends to continue to invest in capital equipment to support its operations.
The Company is also engaged in discussions with certain parties regarding
potential strategic acquisitions, but presently does not have any agreements to
enter into any such acquisitions. The Company intends to fund any such
acquisitions with working capital and bank financing. There can be no assurances
that such financing would be available on favorable terms, if at all.

      The Company has a $7,500,000 revolving bank loan facility, of which
$6,300,000 was outstanding at June 30, 1999. This facility expires on August 31,
1999. Borrowings through this credit facility are unsecured, and bear interest
at LIBOR plus 1.75% or prime. The Company is in the process of obtaining a new
credit facility for a three-year term. In addition, at June 30, 1999, the
Company had capitalized equipment lease debt and other notes payable of
approximately $2,565,000. At June 30, 1999 the current portion of all debt
obligations was $7,297,000.

      The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving
loan facility, together with cash generated from operations and funds expected
to be available to it through any necessary equipment financing and additional
bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements through
at least the end of 1999. However, there can be no assurances that such
financing will be available at favorable terms, if at all.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The Year 2000 issue is the potential for system and processing failure of
date-related data and the result of computer-controlled systems using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. For example, computer programs
that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage
in similar normal business activities.

     The Company has established a Year 2000 Compliance Committee (the
"Committee") which is comprised of members of senior management, finance, MIS
operations and engineering. The Committee's mandate is to design and implement a
Compliance Plan that minimizes the risk of material adverse impact to the
Company resulting from events triggered by the turn of the century. A Year 2000
Project Coordinator has been appointed and a comprehensive corporate-wide Year
2000 Project plan has been developed.

     The Committee has defined three categories of internal elements that are
subject to risk; computer hardware and software, manufacturing equipment and
facility equipment. Computer hardware and software includes networking,
operating and application software currently being used by the Company as well
as those that are planned to be installed prior to the year 2000 and the
hardware platforms upon which they operate. Manufacturing equipment includes
machinery and equipment, owned or leased, that is used by the Company in the
process of manufacturing inventory for resale. Facility equipment includes all
other devices that potentially have microprocessor chips that were not included
in computer hardware and software and manufacturing equipment, including, but
not limited to, fax machines, security systems, heating/air conditioning,
telephone and other communication systems, copiers, sprinklers and elevators.

     The approach for minimizing risk of noncompliance within each of these
elements includes six phases; Inventory, Risk Assessment, Correction,
Validation, Implementation and Monitoring. In the Inventory phase the Company
identifies the items within each of the three previously defined elements. The
Company has completed a thorough inventory of computer hardware and software,
manufacturing equipment and facility systems and equipment at all plant
locations.

     The Risk Assessment phase includes identifying which of the items in the
inventory are noncompliant and estimating the effects of noncompliant system,
program and equipment failure. The Company has completed a comprehensive risk
assessment for all plant locations, which identifies noncompliant and
potentially noncompliant computer hardware and software, manufacturing equipment
and facility systems and equipment. All noncompliant items have been categorized
as either business critical or non-business critical. Business critical systems
and equipment are being addressed first and non-business critical systems and
equipment will be addressed as resources are available.

     In the Correction phase, the Company repairs or replaces those items that
are noncompliant. The Company is in the process of implementing new financial
and manufacturing software ("New Software") throughout all of its plants that is
Year 2000 compliant and should result in substantial compliance within the
computer hardware and software element. At this time, the Company expects




- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

the correction of business critical computer hardware and software to be
completed by October 31, 1999. The correction of business critical manufacturing
equipment and facility systems and equipment is expected to be completed by
September 30, 1999.

     In the Validation phase, the Company confirms that corrections have
resulted in bringing specific systems, programs or equipment into Year 2000
compliance. The validation of specific components will occur as each component
is corrected.

     In the Implementation phase, the Company integrates validated systems,
programs and equipment into the business environment. The implementation of
specific components will be conducted as each component is validated. The
Company expects that validation and implementation of business critical
manufacturing equipment and facility systems will be completed by October 31,
1999 and that validation and implementation of business critical computer
hardware and software will be completed by November 30, 1999.

     In the Monitoring phase, the Company closely observes the performance of
corrected, validated and implemented systems, programs and equipment. The
monitoring phase begins at implementation and will continue beyond the New Year
and as long as is necessary to satisfy the Company that corrections have
effectively dealt with Year 2000 concerns.

     Independent of its own internal elements, the Company is dependent upon the
customers who order its products and upon numerous third parties who supply
various items including materials, supplies, services, utilities and other items
the Company uses in the ordinary course of business. Included within these third
parties is a group of several key foam raw material suppliers that collectively
supply a significant portion of the Company's foam used in production. The
Company is in the process of surveying the compliance status of its key
customers and third party suppliers. However, the Company may not ever be able
to estimate the nature or extent of any potential adverse impact resulting from
the failure of third parties, such as its suppliers, service providers and
customers. As a result, although the Company does not currently anticipate that
it will experience any significant shipment delays from its major suppliers or
any major sales delays from its major customers due to Year 2000 issues, the
Company cannot provide any assurance that these third parties will not
experience Year 2000 problems or that any may have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

     The Company included the cost of the New Software in its financial plan for
1999. The software and hardware costs have been and will continue to be
capitalized and depreciated in compliance with the Company's capitalization
policy. Although the decision to implement the New Software potentially resolves
the Year 2000 problem for the majority of the Company's computer applications,
it was made for operating reasons and is considered normal capital expenditures.
As a result, the Company does not expect to incur material costs above and
beyond the cost of implementing the New Software.

     The Company expects to be substantially compliant by Year 2000, but can
give no assurance as to its readiness or the readiness of its key material and
service providers. As a result, the Company expects to complete a Contingency
Plan (the "Plan") by August 31, 1999, that will address the operating issues in
the event that any of its material or service providers fail to perform as a
result of



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

the Year 2000 problem. In addition, the Plan will address operating
considerations in the event that any of the Company's internal elements fail to
perform as expected. The Company can give no assurance that the Plan will be
effective.

     To the extent that the Company does not identify or properly address any
material noncompliant systems or equipment operated by the Company or by third
parties, such as the Company's suppliers, service providers and customers, the
most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario is a systemic failure
beyond the control of the Company, such as a prolonged telecommunications or
electrical failure, or general disruption in the United States or global
activities that could result in a significant economic downturn. The Company
believes that the primary business risks, in the event of such failure or other
disruption, would include but not be limited to, loss of customers or orders,
increased operating costs, inability to obtain inventory on a timely basis,
disruptions in product shipments, or other business interruptions or a material
nature, as well as claims of mismanagement, misrepresentation, or breach of
contract, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition.


ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The following discussion of the Company's market risk includes
"forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results
could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument
caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity
prices. At June 30, 1999, the Company's cash and cash equivalents consisted of
bank accounts in U.S. dollars, and their valuation would not be affected by
market risk. The Company has debt instruments where interest is based upon the
prime rate and, therefore, future operations could be affected by interest rate
changes; however, the Company believes that the market risk of the debt is
minimal.
