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,
2000, included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K as
provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001, the
consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2001
and 2000, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, 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 three months ended March 31, 2001,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2001.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138),
effective January 1, 2001. 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. Adoption of the statement
did 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 provided additional guidance on the accounting
for revenue recognition, including both broad conceptual discussion as
well as certain industry-specific guidance. The Company adopted the
guidance effective January 1, 2000. Adoption of the new guidance did not
have a material effect on its results of operations or financial
position, and no restatement of its historical financial statements was
required.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation
No. 44, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING STOCK
COMPENSATION, in March 2000. The interpretation clarified how companies
should apply APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
EMPLOYEES. Currently, there are no awards granted by the Company that
would result in an adjustment 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, 2000, 731,944 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. Zero options were issued, no
options were exercised, and 4,000 options expired in the first three
months of 2001 under the 1993 Plan. At March 31, 2001, 727,944 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 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 March 31, 2001, 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. At March 31,
2001, 88,614 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.

On February 23, 2001, the Company purchased 300,000 shares of the
Company's stock from Cramer, Berkowitz and Co. at $1.75 per share, for a
total amount of $525,000. The purchase was funded by the Company's
revolving line of credit.

(5) 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.

The weighted average number of shares used to compute diluted income
per share consisted of the following:

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months

prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock.
The Company incurred a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

(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, 2000, 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.

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

SALES

Net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, were $17.0
million or 7.1% below sales of $18.3 million in the same period last year. The
overall decline in sales is primarily related to a decline in sales within the
Company's specialty products group, which was negatively impacted by the loss of
a large customer that developed an alternative in-house solution to the
Company's products, as well as an automotive industry slowdown.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margin) decreased in the
three-month period ended March 31, 2001, over the respective period last year.
Gross margins for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, were
20.0% and 23.5%, respectively. The decline in gross margin is primarily
attributable to costs incurred during the quarter in consolidating and moving
the Company's plants in Detroit and California, as well as the impact of
declining sales in the Company's Detroit location.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $3.8 million,
or 22.4% of sales, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, compared to
$3.6 million, or 19.8% of sales, in the same period a year ago. The increase in
SG&A as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to the decline in sales.
The increase in SG&A dollars is primarily attributable to additions made to the
Company's management team.

OTHER

Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001,
decreased to $275,000 from $294,000 in the comparable period last year. The
decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
2001, was approximately 46% compared to approximately 45% in the respective
period last year.

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 March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company's working capital
was approximately $3.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The decrease in
working capital is primarily a result of the first quarter stock repurchase of
$525,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2001, was approximately $2.3 million compared to approximately
$8.0 million in the same period last year. The primary reason for the decrease
is the financing of the acquisition of Simco in the first quarter of 2000.

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.

The Company has an $8.0 million revolving bank loan facility, of which
$7.6 million was outstanding on March 31, 2001. Borrowings through this credit
facility are unsecured, and bear interest at LIBOR plus a variable spread that
ranges from 1.25% to 2.0%, or prime. In addition the Company has a $10 million
acquisition line of credit of which $7.8 million was outstanding at March 31,
2001. At March 31, 2001, the Company had capital lease obligations and other
notes payable of approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. At
March 31, 2001, the current portion of all debt, including the revolving bank
loan, was approximately $9.3 million.

The Company believes that its existing resources, including its revolving
loan facility and acquisition line of credit, 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 next twelve months. However,
there can be no assurances that such financing will be available at favorable
terms, if at all.

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 March 31, 2001, 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.
