MOD-PAC CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012

(unaudited)

1) Basis of Presentation

The Registrant, MOD-PAC CORP., is referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “MOD-PAC” or "the Company" or in the nominative “we” or the possessive “our.”

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 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 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 2011 annual report on Form 10-K.

Revenue is recognized when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product and is based on the applicable shipping terms.

2) Product Line Net Sales

Product line net sales are as follows:

(in thousands)
	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012		April 2, 2011
Folding cartons:
Custom folding cartons	$	10,380	$	10,489
Stock packaging		2,698		2,615
Folding cartons sub-total		13,078		13,104

Personalized print		611		697

Total	$	13,689	$	13,801

3) (Loss) Income Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of (loss) income per share:

(in thousands, except per share data)
	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011
Net (loss) income	$	(123	)	$	357

Basic weighted average shares outstanding		3,208			3,349
Net effect of diluted stock options		-			105
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		3,208			3,454

Basic (loss) income per share	$	(0.04	)	$	0.11

Diluted (loss) income per share	$	(0.04	)	$	0.10

There was no effect for stock options that were dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2012 since the Company had a net loss.

For the three months ended April 2, 2011, approximately 325 thousand of common shares potentially issuable from the exercise of stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common stock for the respective period.

4) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined in accordance with the first-in, first-out method.

Inventories are as follows:

(in thousands)
	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Finished goods	$	3,885	$	3,706
Work in progress		348		248
Raw material		3,552		3,069
Total inventory	$	7,785	$	7,023

5) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was 29.7%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was recorded at a rate lower than customary mainly due to state income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 26.2%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was recorded at a rate lower than customary mainly due to alternative minimum tax credits.

The Company's continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in SG&A expense. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had no amounts accrued related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

6) 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 $3.20 for options granted during the three months ended April 2, 2011. The following table provides the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted during the three months ended April 2, 2011. There were no options granted during the three months end March 31, 2012.

	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2011
Expected volatility		77	%
Risk-free rate		2.2	%
Expected dividends		0	%
Expected term (in years)		5.5

To determine expected volatility, the Company uses recent historical volatility based on weekly closing prices of its Common Stock over a period of time equal to the expected life of the options. 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 31, 2012 is as follows:

(aggregate intrinsic value in thousands)
	Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2012		769,469		$	6.35	$	1,240
Options expired		(13,874	)		10.34
Options exercised		(1,200	)		1.85
Outstanding at March 31, 2012		754,395		$	6.29	$	1,393

Exercisable at March 31, 2012		629,995		$	6.56	$	1,222

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 $7.00 as of March 31, 2012, 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 Company’s current policy is to issue additional new shares upon exercise of stock options.

There were no options that vested since December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, total compensation costs related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $273 thousand which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

The following is a summary of weighted average exercise prices and contractual lives for outstanding and exercisable stock options as of March 31, 2012:

	Outstanding						Exercisable
Exercise Price Range	Shares		Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Shares		Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years		Weighted Average Exercise Price
$1.68 to $4.86		335,450		7.7	$	3.35		270,850		7.6	$	3.23
$5.39 to $6.03		127,545		6.3	$	5.73		75,045		3.8	$	5.61
$7.36 to $10.34		187,600		4.1	$	8.57		180,300		4.0	$	8.62
$11.68 to $15.54		103,800		3.4	$	12.33		103,800		3.4	$	12.33
		754,395		5.9	$	6.29		629,995		5.4	$	6.56

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 2012, 8,965 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 2011 Form 10-K and other external information.

9) Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The recorded amounts for long-term debt approximate fair value based on current market rates of similar instruments.

10) Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt includes the following:

(in thousands)
	March 31, 2012			December 31, 2011

		4,672			4,643
Less accumulated depreciation		(1,368	)		(1,314	)

Net assets under capital leases	$	3,304		$	3,329

12) Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. That assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset or asset group at the date tested. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its fair value which is based upon estimated future discounted cash flows.

Based on this testing, no asset impairment charges were recognized in the first three months of 2012 or 2011.

13) Line of Credit

The Company has access to a $3.0 million secured line of credit with a commercial bank which expires June 9, 2013. Interest on the line of credit is based on LIBOR plus 2.75%, with an interest floor of 3.35%. At March 31, 2012, $0.2 million was in use through a standby letter of credit and there was no balance drawn on the line. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at March 31, 2012. The amount of the line of credit that was unused and available to the Company at March 31, 2012 was $2.8 million.

14) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company’s management has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date of the issuance of the financial statements. In management’s opinion, none of these new pronouncements apply or will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

In the second quarter of 2009, we made a strategic decision to rationalize our product lines and exit the Specialty Print and Direct Mail market, choosing to focus our resources on our growing Custom Folding Carton line. As a result of the rationalization, we have begun to, and expect to continue to realize improvement in operating performance over the long-term. In addition, we believe we are more effective in sales and marketing in the custom folding carton market with a more focused approach and better utilization of our resources. Our Custom Folding Carton customers are generally in the healthcare, confectionary, food and food service, and automotive industries, including private label manufacturers. Our expertise in this market is our on-demand processing capability. We manufacture and print the specific quantities of custom folding cartons required by our customers as needed by them as opposed to printing long runs and creating inventory and obsolescence challenges either for our customers or ourselves. As a result, we do not require minimum print orders and are more flexible than most printers in addressing our customers’ needs. This capability has served our private label customers who may have several of the same carton requirements, but with varying print requirements for their customers, extremely well.

We also continue to develop our Stock Packaging and Personalized Print product lines. Our Stock Packaging line serves primarily private confectionaries and, therefore is seasonal in nature and driven by the economy. We believe that we are a leader in the private confectionery industry with over 4,000 customers that we serve in North America. Our Personalized Print product line is focused on its store, catalog and web sales. Because we provide products such as personalized dinner and cocktail napkins, small boxes for sundries at events, and other celebration type items for both the retail and corporate markets, this product line is also heavily impacted by economic downturns. We can compete with much larger companies in the personalized print industry and we have developed a strong brand in Krepe-Kraft among event planners and wedding coordinators. Our websites, www.partybasics.com and myweddingbasics.com, make our products available directly to the retail market. We also provide our products to third-party web-stores.

REVENUE

For the first quarter of 2012, total revenue was $13.8 million compared with $13.9 million in 2011, a slight decrease of 0.8%. The custom folding carton product line sales were $10.4 million compared with $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. The 1.0% decrease was mainly due to decreased business from several large existing customers and decreased graphic arts charges, offset partially by business from one new large customer and increased business with several large existing customers. Sales of the Company’s stock packaging product line were $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, up 3.2% from the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to improved market conditions. Personalized print sales for the first quarter of 2012 were $0.6 million compared with $0.7 million in 2011, a decrease of 12.3%, mainly due to continued weakness in this market.

EXPENSES AND MARGINS

Gross margin was 12.9% for the first quarter of 2012, compared with 16.2% in the first quarter of 2011. Gross margin in 2012 was negatively affected by sales mix, increased paperboard costs, employee benefits and depreciation expense, offset, partially, by decreased repairs expense and utilities expense.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) costs were $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $1.8 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase was driven primarily by increased professional services costs.

TAXES

NET LOSS/INCOME AND LOSS/INCOME PER SHARE

The net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.1 million, compared with net income of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. The net loss/income was due to the fluctuations discussed above. Diluted loss per share was $0.04 in the first quarter of 2012 and income of $0.10 per share in the first quarter of 2011.

LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012 was $0.9 million, which was down from the $3.9 million balance at December 31, 2011 for the reasons set forth below.

Inventory increased by $0.8 million mainly due to planned forward purchasing of raw material.

Capital expenditures, driven primarily by productivity improvement and capacity investments, for the first three months of 2012 and 2011 were $2.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company expects total capital expenditures to be approximately $4.8 to $5.2 million for the 2012 year compared to $2.3 million for the 2011 year. Depreciation and amortization for the first three months of 2012 and 2011 was $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

There were no shares repurchased by the Company during the first three months of 2012. The Company has authorization to repurchase 200,000 shares at March 31, 2012. The closing price of the Company’s stock at March 31, 2012 was $7.00. At this price, the repurchase of 200,000 shares would require $1.4 million.

The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $0.9 million at March 31, 2012, in combination with its secured line of credit and cash expected to be generated from operations, will be adequate for the Company to meet its obligations, other working capital requirements and capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future.

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 effect on its financial condition.

MARKET RISK

There has been no significant change in market risks since December 31, 2011.

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 March 31, 2012 because of our limited exposure to floating rate debt.

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 October 2012. Historically, the price of natural gas has fluctuated widely. 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.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company began a project to convert the majority of its power needs from natural gas to electricity. This project is expected to be completed and operational in the fourth quarter of 2012.

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, 2011 was generally the same as described above.
