MOD-PAC CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Three Months Ended April 4, 2009
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 April 4, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 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 2008 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 $1.08 and $2.27 for options granted during the three months ended April 4, 2009 and March 29, 2008, respectively. The following table provides the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted during the three months ended April 4, 2009 and March 29, 2008.
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    April 4,     March 29,  
    2009     2008  
 
               
Expected volatility
    75 %     39 %
Risk-free rate
    2.0 %     2.9 %
Expected dividends
    0 %     0 %
Expected term (in years)
    5.5       5.5  
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 April 4, 2009 is as follows:

Exercisable at April 4, 2009
    331,589     $ 9.23     $  
 
                 
The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax option holder’s intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of Common Stock of $1.49 as of April 4, 2009, 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 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 2009. 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, 2008 is $26 thousand. At April 4, 2009, total compensation costs related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $312 thousand which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.29 years.
The following is a summary of weighted average exercise prices and contractual lives for outstanding and exercisable stock options as of April 4, 2009:

There was no effect for stock options that were dilutive for the three months ended April 4, 2009 and March 29, 2008, since the Company had a net loss in both periods.
6) Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 was 18.3%. This benefit was less than the statutory income tax rate, primarily as a result of the Company recording a valuation allowance related to its net operating loss carry-forward. The valuation allowance was recorded due to the uncertainty with respect to utilizing this deferred tax asset in the future associated with the net operating loss carry-forward based on the trend of operating losses. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 33.3%.
The Company’s continuing practice is not to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of April 4, 2009, the Company had no amounts accrued related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2006, 2007, and 2008 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 2009, 1,020 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 President and CEO is consistent with the reporting format used in the Company’s 2008 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 April 4, 2009, $2.1 million was borrowed and an additional $0.2 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 Pronouncement
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 is January 1, 2009. The impact of SFAS 141R on future business combinations cannot currently be determined.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
REVENUE
For the first quarter of 2009 total revenue was $12.3 million compared with $11.6 million in 2008, an increase of 6.5%. The custom folding carton product line sales were $8.5 million compared with $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase was mainly due to substantial growth with one large existing customer and sales to one large new customer. Sales of the Company’s stock packaging product line were $2.2 million compared with $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2008, down 14.5% primarily due to weakness in general business conditions. First quarter 2009 specialty print and direct mail sales decreased 21.9% to $0.8 million compared with sales of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease was primarily due to one-time sales in 2008 to a custom folding carton customer and general soft market conditions. Personalized print sales for the first quarter of 2009 were $0.8 million compared with $1.0 million in 2008, a decrease of 21.4%, mainly due to weakness in general business conditions.

Gross margin was 11.5% for the first quarter of 2009, relatively unchanged from 11.6% in the first quarter of 2008. The first quarter 2009 gross margin was positively affected by increased operational leverage due to increased sales, but was offset by weaker sales mix and lower waste sales due to a drop in the recycled paper board market.
Selling, general, and administrative costs decreased 2.8% to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $2.1 million during the same period in the prior year. This slight decrease was driven primarily by lower professional service and advertising costs, offset partially by higher depreciation expense.
TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 was 18.3%. This benefit was less than the statutory income tax rate, primarily as a result of the Company recording a valuation allowance related to its net operating loss carry-forward. The valuation allowance was recorded due to the uncertainty with respect to utilizing this deferred tax asset in the future associated with the net operating loss carry-forward based on the trend of operating losses. This impacted net loss unfavorably by $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding this adjustment, the effective tax rate would have been 32.3%, which is consistent with our expectations. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 33.3%.
NET LOSS AND LOSS PER SHARE
The net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.5 million, relatively unchanged from the first quarter of 2008. This loss was due to the fluctuations discussed above. Diluted loss per share was $0.16 in the first quarter of 2009 and $0.15 in the first quarter of 2008.
LIQUIDITY
Cash and cash equivalents were $0.1 million at April 4, 2009, a slight decrease from the $0.2 million balance at December 31, 2008.
The Company has access to a $5.0 million committed line of credit with a commercial bank, which expires in March 2010. At April 4, 2009, $2.1 million was borrowed and an additional $0.2 million was in use through standby letters of credit. The borrowed amount is an increase of $1.1 million from the balance at December 31, 2008. 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 capital expenditures and working capital requirements to meet customer demands.
Accounts payable declined $0.7 million during the first three months of 2009 primarily due to timing of payments.
Capital expenditures driven primarily by productivity improvement investments, for the first three months of 2009 were $0.3 million compared with $0.7 million for the first three months of 2008. Depreciation and amortization for the first three months of 2009 was $0.9 million compared with $1.0 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 2009. The Company’s management is beginning the process of negotiation to renew or replace the existing line of credit that is due to expire in the first quarter of 2010.

There were no shares repurchased by the Company during the first three months of 2009. The Company has authorization to repurchase 75,885 shares at April 4, 2009. The closing price of the Company’s stock at April 4, 2009 was $1.49. At this price, the repurchase of 75,885 shares would require $113,069.
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, 2008.
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 failures in logistics systems are limited.
Risks due to fluctuation in interest rates are not material to the Company at April 4, 2009 because of our limited exposure to floating rate debt.
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 100% of its estimated usage through September 2009 and approximately 60% of its estimated usage from October 2009 through October 2010. 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, 2008 was generally the same as described above.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our 2008 Form 10-K.
