(3)(4)       Fair Value Accounting

 

In September 2006, theThe Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework in generally accepted accounting principles for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard only applies when other standards require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. It does not increase the use of fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 iswas effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except as it relatesrelated to nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities for which the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008.

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,condensed consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized below based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by SFAS No.157 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

Level 1  —  Valued based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  The assets valued and carried by the Company using Level 1 inputs are our money market accounts and certificates of deposit.  There are no liabilities valued and carried using Level 1 inputs.

 

Level 2  —  Valued based on either directly or indirectly observable prices for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.  No assets or liabilities are currently valued based on Level 2 inputs.

 

Level 3  —  Valued based on management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.  Generally, the only significant assets and liabilities carried at fair value and included in this category are those acquired through business combinations. These assets and liabilities are excluded from the initial adoption of SFAS No. 157.

 

Financial instruments that currently require disclosure under SFAS No. 157 consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit, both considered cash equivalents.  Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized by the levels discussed above and in the tables below:

Effective this quarter, the Company implemented SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are re-measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  The adoption of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, it could have an impact in future periods.  In addition, the Company may have additional disclosure requirements in the event an acquisition is completed or an impairment of the Company’s assets is incurred in future periods.

 

(4)(5)       New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which changes how business acquisitions are accounted. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets and tax benefits. SFAS No. 141R is effective for the Company for business combinations and adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balances occurring after December 31, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 amends the consolidation procedures of certain aspects of ARB No. 51 for consistency with the requirements of SFAS No. 141(R).141R. This statement requires changes in the parent’s ownership interest of consolidated subsidiaries to be accounted for as equity transactions. This statement also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. The Company is currently evaluating the future impacts and disclosuresadoption of this standard.statement resulted in the presentation of the noncontrolling interest in UDT as equity, rather than a liability. In addition, we now present net income of the consolidated group in the statement of operations, with a reconciliation to net income attributable to UFP Technologies, Inc.

 

In March 2008,December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,141R, “Business Combinations,” which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.how business acquisitions are accounted for. SFAS No. 161141R requires enhanced disclosures about (a) howthe acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instrumentsliabilities assumed in the transaction and related hedged items are accountedestablishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for underall assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets and tax benefits. The Company implemented SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This  statement’s disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating141R in the future impacts and disclosuresfirst quarter of 2009.  Implementation of this standard.standard resulted in the Company recognizing a gain of approximately $81,000 related to its acquisition of selected assets of Foamade Industries, Inc. (Note 5), and $25,000 of acquisition-related costs were charged to expense, that would otherwise have been included as part of the acquisition cost prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 141R.

 

(5)In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption.  In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption.  The Company does not

(6)(7)       Share-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

 

The Company issues share-based payments through several plans, which are described below.  The compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans is as follows:

Employee Stock Option Plan

 

The Company’s 1993 Employee Stock Option Plan (“Employee Stock Option Plan”), which is stockholder-approved, provides long-term rewards and incentives in the form of stock options 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 Compensation Committee.  These options

10



Table of Contents

expire over five- to ten-year periods.  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, except for options granted to officers, which may vest on a different schedule.  At September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, there were 654,375634,375 options outstanding under the Employee Stock Option Plan.  Should stock options be issued under the Employee Stock Option Plan in the future, the Company will record compensation expense based upon the intrinsic fair market value of the stock options, using a lattice-based option valuation model.

 

2003 Incentive Plan

 

In June 2003, the Company formally adopted the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan was originally intended to benefit the Company by offering equity-based incentives to certain of the Company’s executives and employees, thereby giving them a permanent stake in the growth and long-term success of the Company and encouraging the continuance of their involvement with the Company’s businesses.  The Plan was amended effective June 4, 2008, to permit certain performance-based cash awards to be made under the Plan.  The amendment also added appropriate language so as to enable grants of stock-based awards under the Plan to continue to be eligible for exclusion from the $1,000,000 limitation on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).  On February 21, 2008, the Board of Directors also changed the name of the Plan from the “2003 Equity Incentive Plan” to the “2003 Incentive Plan,” in part to reflect the amendment described above.

 

Two types of equity awards may be granted to participants under the Plan: restricted shares or other stock awards.  Restricted shares are shares of common stock awarded subject to restrictions and to possible forfeiture upon the occurrence of specified events.  Other stock

10



Table of Contents

awards are awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of common stock.  Such awards may include Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSUs”), unrestricted or restricted stock, nonqualified options, performance shares, or stock appreciation rights.  The Company determines the form, terms, and conditions, if any, of any awards made under the Plan.  The maximum number of shares of common stock, in the aggregate, that may be delivered in payment or in respect of stock issued under the Plan is 1,250,000 shares.  Through September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, there were 411,679554,958 shares of common stock issued under the Plan, none of which have been restricted; an additional 377,000419,686 shares are being reserved for outstanding grants of RSUs and other share-based compensation that are subject to various performance and time-vesting contingencies.

 

Stock Purchase Plan

 

On April 18, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan (the “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 Code.  Under the Stock Purchase Plan participants may have up to 10% of their base salaries withheld for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at 95% of the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period.  The offering periods are from January 1 through June 30 and from July 1 through December 31 of each calendar year.  The 1998 Stock Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock.  Through September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, there were 305,866

shares issued under this plan.  The Company currently plans on dissolving the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan during 2008.2009.

 

Director Plans

 

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 (the “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 on the date of the grant and would 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 September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, there were no options outstanding under the 1993 Director Plan.

 

Effective July 15, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Director Plan (“1998 Director Plan”) for the benefit of non-employee directors of the Company.  The 1998 Director Plan provided for options for the issuance of up to 425,000 shares of common stock.  On June 2, 2004, the Company amended the 1998 Director Plan to increase the allowable amount to 725,000 shares, and, on June 4, 2008, the Company further amended the 1998 Director Plan to increase the allowable amount to 975,000 shares.  These options become exercisable in full at 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 frozen; however, the options outstanding under the 1993 Director Plan were not affected by the adoption of the new plan.

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

Forward-looking Statements:Statements

This report contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The words “believe,”  “expect,”  “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” and other expressions, which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters, identify forward-looking statements. The Company’s plans, described below, to execute a program that launched in the fourth quarter of 2004 for an automotive supplier that could be as large as $95 million is an example of a forward-looking statement.  Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

The $95 million revenue value of the automotive contract is an estimate, based on the automotive supplier’s projected needs.  The Company cannot guarantee that it will fully benefit from this contract, which is terminable by the automotive supplier for any reason, subject to a cancellation charge that includes, among others, a provision whereby the customer will reimburse the Company for its total capital investment less any depreciation taken.  The Company’s revenues from this contract are directly dependent on the ability of the automotive supplier to develop, market and sell its products in a timely, cost-effective manner.  If the automotive supplier’s needs decrease over the course of the contract, the Company’s estimated revenues from this contract may also decrease.  Even if the Company generates revenue from the project, the Company cannot guarantee that the project will be profitable, particularly if revenues from the contract are less than expected.

Manufacturing companies often take advantage of lower volume months to shut down production to service machinery and tools.  This is even more common in the automotive industry where

16



Table of Contents

many companies historically have shut down their operations for a portion of the months of July and December.  The Company expects this practice to continue.  To the extent ourits customers choose to shut down their operations, for these or other reasons, the Company’s quarterly operating results could fluctuate and be materially, adversely affected.

 

Other examples of these risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, without limitation, the following: economic conditions that affect sales of the products of the Company’s customers, actions by the Company’s competitors, and the ability of the Company to respond to such actions, the ability of the Company to obtain new customers, risks associated with the identification of suitable acquisition candidates and the successful, efficient execution and integration of such acquisitions, the ability of the Company to achieve positive results due to competition, decisions by customers to cancel or defer orders for its products that previously had been accepted, recent increases and possible further increases in the cost of the Company’s raw materials and energy that the Company may not be able to pass through to its customers, other economic conditions that affect sales of the products of the Company’s packaging customers,  the ability of the Company to obtain new customers, evolving customer requirements, difficulties associated with the roll-out of new products, decisions by customers to cancel or defer orders for the Company’s products that previously had been accepted, the costs of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley related requirements and general economic and industry conditions and other factors.  In addition to the foregoing, the Company’s actual future results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth elsewhere in this report and changes in general economic conditions, interest rates and the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements.  All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors and other disclaimers described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Company reported record earnings for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, largely due to increased sales and stronger gross margins.  However, it experienced a softening of sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 that has continued through the first quarter of 2009, negatively impacting gross

margins.  Sales of interior trim parts to the automotive industry have weakened significantly due to very soft automobile sales in North America.  The Company expects this trend to continue at least through the second quarter of 2009.

On January 18, 2008, the Company acquired Stephenson & Lawyer, Inc., or S&L, a Grand Rapids, Michigan-based foam fabricator.  S&L was consolidated into the Company’s financial statements effective as of January 1, 2008.  Operating out of a 255,000-square-foot250,000-square-foot manufacturing plant, S&L specializes in the fabrication of technical urethane foams.  In addition to significantly adding to the Company’s real estate, S&L brings to the Company access to this family of foams, modern manufacturing capabilities, and a seasoned management team.  The acquisition is an example of the Company’s dual strategy of growing its top line organically through a focused marketing plan as well as through strategic acquisitions.

 

Sales

On August 5, 2008,Sales for the Company committedthree-month period ended March 31, 2009, were $21.6 million or 22.9% below sales of $28.0 million for the same period in 2008.  The decline in sales is due largely to move forward with a plandecline in sales of interior trim parts to close its Macomb Township,the automotive industry (Component Parts segment) of $3.6 million as well as a general softening in demand for parts (across both business segments).

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margin) declined to 22.9% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, from 24.6% in the same period of 2008.  The decline in gross margin is primarily due to the fixed cost portion of cost of sales measured against lower sales (both business segments), partially offset by efficiencies gained from the consolidation of the Company’s Michigan automotive plantfacilities.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased 12.4% to incur restructuring charges of approximately $1.4$4.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, from $4.9 million in one-time, pre-tax expenses andthe same period of 2008.  As a percentage of sales SG&A increased to invest approximately $450,00019.9% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, from 17.6% in building improvements over a six-month transitional period.  the same period of last year.

The Company expects annual cost savings of approximately $1.2 milliondecline in SG&A for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, reflects efforts to reduce fixed SG&A as a result of the plant consolidation.softened economy of approximately $200,000 (both business segments), a reduction of variable compensation due to the reduction in sales of approximately $165,000 (both business segments) and a gain recorded pursuant to SFAS 141R Business Combinations associated with the acquisition of selected assets of Foamade Industries of approximately $81,000 (Component Products segment).

Other Expenses

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was approximately $16,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009, and 2008.

 

17Net interest expense decreased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, to approximately $82,000 from $98,000 in the same 2008 period.  This decline is primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher average borrowings.  Interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, was approximately $4,000 compared to $25,000 for the same period in 2008.

Sales:

Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, were $27.5 million or 19.9% above sales of $22.9 million for the same period in 2007.  Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, were $84.0 million or 23.2% above sales of $68.1 million for the same period in 2007.

Sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, include sales of S&L.  Excluding sales of S&L, sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, increased 6.8% and 8.8%, respectively.  The increase in sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, is primarily due to increased sales to a key customer in the electronics industry (Packaging segment) of approximately $600,000 and increased sales of molded fiber packaging products (Packaging segment) of approximately $700,000.  The increase in UFP sales for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008, is primarily due to increased sales to a key customer in the electronics industry (Packaging segment) of approximately $2.4 million and increased sales of molded fiber packaging products (Packaging segment) of approximately $2.4 million.  The increases in sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, were partially offset by a decline in sales to the automotive industry of approximately $1.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  The Company believes that increased sales of molded fiber packaging product are attributable to increased demand for environmentally friendly packaging materials.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margin) improved to 26.9% and 26.1%, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, from 23.1% and 23.0%, respectively, from the three- and nine-month periods of 2007.  The improvement in gross margin for both periods is primarily due to continued manufacturing efficiency initiatives and improvements to the quality of the Company’s book of business (approximately 4.2 % and 2.2% improvement in gross margin across both business segments for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased 31.5% to $4.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, from $3.8 million in the same period of 2007.  SG&A increased 29.9% to $14.8 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, from $11.4 million in the same period of 2007.

The increase in SG&A for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, reflects additional SG&A associated with S&L (Component Products segment) of approximately $550,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, additional compensation related expenses of approximately $410,000 and $1.4 million, respectively (both business segments), as well as normal inflationary activity.

The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $406,000 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, associated with the previously announced consolidation of its Macomb Township, Michigan, plant into its newly acquired Stephenson & Lawyer facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The costs are associated with the expected write-off of the leasehold improvements upon the surrendering of the building at the end of 2008, estimated costs of restoring the building to its original condition, and miscellaneous moving and training costs.

Other Expenses:

Minority interest earnings were approximately $17,000 and $49,000, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to approximately $25,000 and $68,000 in the same respective periods last year.

Net interest expense decreased for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, to approximately $72,000 and $270,000, respectively, from $100,000 and $402,000 in the same respective periods last year.  This decline is primarily due to lower average borrowings and interest income from invested cash.  Interest income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, was approximately $22,000 and $57,000, respectively, and $53,000 and $73,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2007.

The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately 36% and 38% of income before income tax expense for allthe three-month periods presented.ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively.  The current quarter effective tax rate represents management’s best estimate as to the expected fiscal year 2009 effective tax rate.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources: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 September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2007,2008, the Company’s working capital was approximately $17.1$22.5 million and $15.0$18.7 million, respectively.

The increase in working capital for the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, is primarily due to increased cash of approximately $2.7 million, decreased accrued expenses of approximately $2.3 million (payout of year-end variable compensation and income tax obligations), and reduced short-term debt of approximately $800,000 (early payoff of capital lease debt), partially offset by reduced receivables of approximately $1.7 million and inventory of approximately $2.5$1.2 million, and $3.4, respectively partially offset by a decrease(consistent with downturn in cash of approximately $3.6 million.  The decline in cash for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, is primarily due to the use of $5.2 million of cash to acquire Stephenson & Lawyer in January 2008.  The increases in receivables and inventory were largely attributable to the acquisition of S&L. As a component of consolidating UDT’s

The Company requires cash to pay its operating expenses, purchase capital equipment, and to service the obligations listed above.  The Company’s principal sources of funds are its operations and its revolving credit facility.  Although the Company generated cash from operations in the yearperiod ended DecemberMarch 31, 2007,2009, it cannot guarantee that its operations will generate cash in future periods.

 

ITEM 3:QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES 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 September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, 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 several debt instruments where interest is based upon either the prime rate 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.

ITEM 4:CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15).  Based upon that evaluation, they concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II:OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A:RISK FACTORS

Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I — Item 2 of this Form 10-Q in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Forward-Looking Statements” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007,2008, in Part I — Item 1A under “Risk Factors” and in Part II — Item 7 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.2008.

 

The recent worldwide financial turmoil and associated economic downturn may harm our business and prospects.

 

The recent worldwide financial turmoil and associated economic downturn could adversely affect sales of our products.  The resulting tightening of credit markets may make it difficult for our customers and potential customers to obtain financing on reasonable terms, if at all.  Additionally, even if our customers (particularly those in the automotive industry) are able to obtain financing, there is no assurance that they will pay their obligations within agreed-upon terms, if at all.  In addition, a slow-down or contraction of the United States’ economy may reduce needs for our products and, therefore, adversely affect sales of our products.  These factors could also result in increased pricing pressure on the sales of our products.
