                                      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,
     1999, included in the company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K as provided
     to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000, the
     consolidated income statements for the three and six months ended June 30,
     2000 and 1999, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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, 2000, are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
     fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

(2)  New Accounting Pronouncements

          The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
     AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES--DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SFAS NO. 133, in
     June 1999. SFAS No. 133 is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all
     fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000; earlier adoption is allowed.
     The statement requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet
     as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting
     from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for
     depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge
     accounting. The company currently expects that, due to its relatively
     limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will
     not have a material effect on the company's results of operations or
     financial position.

          The Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting
     Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, on
     December 3, 1999. This SAB provides additional guidance on the accounting
     for revenue recognition, including both broad conceptual discussion as well
     as certain industry-specific guidance. The guidance is effective for the
     fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and is required to be adopted effective
     January 3, 2000 by recording the effect of any prior year revenue
     transactions affected as a "cumulative effect of a change in accounting
     principle" as of January 3, 2000. Historical financial statements would be
     restated to


                                     Page 6
<PAGE>

     conform to the new guidance as necessary. The company does not expect this
     new guidance to have a material effect on its results of operations or
     financial position.

          The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 44,
     ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING STOCK COMPENSATION, in March
     2000. The interpretation clarifies how companies should apply APB Opinion
     No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES. The interpretation will
     be applied prospectively to new awards, modifications to outstanding awards
     and changes in employee status on or after July 1, 2000, except as follows:
     the definition of an employee applies to awards granted after December 15,
     1998; the interpretation applies to modifications that reduce the exercise
     price of an award after December 15, 1998, and the interpretation applies
     to modifications that add a reload feature to an award made after January
     12, 2000. Currently, there are no awards granted by the company that would
     result in an adjustment at July 1, 2000 as a result of the interpretation.

(3)  Inventory

          Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
     market and consist of the following:

</TABLE>

          Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of materials,
     labor and manufacturing overhead.

(4)  Common Stock

          The company maintains a stock option plan to provide long-term rewards
     and incentives to the company's key employees, officers, employee
     directors, consultants and advisors. The plan provides for either
     non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options for the issuance of
     up to 1,550,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of the incentive
     stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the common
     stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price for non-qualified stock
     options shall be determined by the Stock Option Committee. Options granted
     under the plan generally become exercisable with respect to 25% of the
     total number of shares subject to such options at the end of each 12-month
     period following the grant of the options.

          At December 31, 1999, 549,194 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. 42,500 options were issued, no
     options were exercised, and 24,750 options expired in the first six months
     of 2000 under the 1993 Plan. At June 30, 2000, 566,944 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 Di-


                                     Page 7
<PAGE>

     rector 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, 2000, 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 150,000 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. At June 30, 2000, 73,614 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 up to 10%
     of their base salaries withheld 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.

(5)  Earnings Per Share

          The company has adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. SFAS No. 128
     replaces the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share
     with a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings
     per share computations are 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. All earnings per share amounts for
     all periods have been restated to conform to SFAS No. 128 requirements.

     per share consisted of the following:

(6)  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, 1999, 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 and net income 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.

(7)  Acquisition

          On January 14, 2000, the company acquired all of the outstanding
     common stock of Simco Industries, Inc., located in Roseville, Michigan, for
     approximately $6.2 million, including expenses. The transaction was
     financed primarily by utilizing the company's "acquisition" line of credit.
     Simco is a full service supplier of automotive trim components. In
     addition, they operate an automotive pattern making and tooling facility.
     Simco's 1999 sales were approximately $13 million.

          Simco's operations are included in the consolidated results of the
     company from the date of acquisition. The transaction was accounted for as
     a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
     16, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. In accordance with APB No. 16, the company
     allocated the purchase price of Simco based on the fair value of the net
     assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase
     price has not been finalized; however, the company does not expect any
     material changes. Goodwill of approximately $4.2 million resulting from the
     acquisition of Simco is being amortized over 20 years.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The company's net sales increased 30.4% to $19.4 million in the three-month
period ended June 30, 2000, from $14.9 million in the same period last year.
Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 increased 32.9% to $37.7
million from $28.4 million last year. The increases in sales are attributable to
sale growth within the company's specialty segment primarily due to the
acquisition of Simco Industries, Inc. in January, 2000, partially offset by a
slight decline in Packaging segment sales caused by the product life cycle of a
multi-year program coming to an end.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margin) decreased to 23.7% in
the three-month period ended June 30, 2000, from 24.8% in the same period a year
ago. Gross margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 decreased to
23.6% from 25.1% a year ago. The decreases are primarily due to a shift in sales
mix.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased 34.1% to
$3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, from $2.8 million a year ago.
SG&A for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was $7.3 million, or 31.3%
higher than SG&A of $5.6 million in the same period last year. As a percentage
of sales, SG&A increased slightly to 19.1% in the second quarter of 2000, from
18.6% last year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, SG&A as a
percentage of sales decreased slightly to 19.4% from 19.7% a year ago. The
increase in SG&A dollars is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Simco.

     Interest expense increased to $297,000 in the second quarter of 2000, from
$190,000 a year ago. Interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30,
2000 increased to $593,000 from $313,000 a year ago. The increases reflect
higher average debt caused by the financing of the Simco acquisition as well as
rising interest rates.

     The company's effective tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 was 45.0% compared to 39.8% and 40.3% in the three and six-moth
periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively. The increase in the estimated rate is
primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill associated with the
acquisition of Simco.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

     As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, working capital was $3,070,000
and $3,549,000, respectively. The decrease in working capital is primarily
attributable to the impact of the acquisition of Simco. Cash used in operations
was $548,000 and $574,000 in the first six-months of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, was $6,921,000 and was used primarily for the acquisition of
Simco.

     Including amounts due under the revolving credit facility and capital lease
obligations, the company had total debt outstanding of $16,721,000 and
$8,718,000 at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The increase
was primarily attributable to the financing of the acquisition of Simco. The


                                    Page 11
<PAGE>

company has an $8,000,000 revolving bank line of credit, of which $7,112,000 was
outstanding at June 30, 2000. Borrowings through the credit facility are
unsecured and bear interest at prime or LIBOR Plus 1.50%. In addition, the
company has a $10,000,000 acquisition line of credit, of which $7,723,000 was
outstanding as of June 30, 2000. Borrowings under the acquisition line of credit
bear interest at prime or LIBOR Plus 1.50%, and will be repaid over a four-year
period beginning in 2001. Under the terms of these arrangements, the company is
required to comply with various covenants, including the maintenance of
specified financial ratios, as defined. At June 30, 2000, the company was in
compliance with these covenants. At June 30, 2000, the company had capital lease
obligations and other notes payable of approximately $1,344,000 and $543,000,
respectively. At June 30, 2000, the current portion of all debt, including the
revolving bank loan, was approximately $8,910,000.

     The company has no additional significant capital commitments in 2000, but
plans on adding additional machinery to increase capacity or to enhance
operating efficiencies in its manufacturing plants. Additionally, the company
may consider the acquisition of companies, technologies or products in 2000,
which are complementary to its business. The company believes that its existing
resources, including its revolving loan facility, together with anticipated 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 2000. However,
there can be no assurances that such financing will be available at favorable
terms, if at all.

OTHER

     A significant portion of the company's Packaging sales of molded fiber
products are to manufacturers of computer peripherals and other consumer
products. As a result, the company believes that its sales are somewhat
seasonal, with increased sales in the second half of the year. The company does
not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its results of
operations in the last three years.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     To date, the company has not experienced, nor is the company aware of, any
material problems with the company's internal systems or products related to the
year 2000 issue. However, because a year 2000 problem could materially disrupt
the operations of the company's customers and harm the company's operations and
financial condition, the company will continue to monitor the potential problem
and test its products and internal systems as it deems necessary.

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, 2000, 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 two debt instruments where interest is
based upon the prime rate (and/or LIBOR) and, therefore, future operations could
be affected by interest rate changes; however, the company believes that the
market risk of the debt is minimal.

          available for issuance under the 1993 Plan from 1,050,000 to
          1,550,000, by a vote of 2,368,146 for, and 95,365 against. There
