Basis of Presentation
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of UFP Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) presented herein, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2016,
included in the Company's
2016
Annual Report on Form 
10
-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2017,
the condensed consolidated statements of income for the
three
- and
nine
-month periods ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016,
and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the
nine
-month periods ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2016
has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but does
not
include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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
- and
nine
-months periods ended
September 30, 2017,
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
December 31, 2017.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
May 2014,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
No.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition methods. The Company expects to adopt the standard in the
first
quarter of
2018
using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has identified its primary revenue streams, completed a preliminary review of a representative sample of contracts with its customers and is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its revenue streams and accounting policies. Based on the procedures completed to date, the Company expects that for a significant portion of its business, the recognition of revenue under the updated standard will occur at a point in time, which is consistent with current practice. The Company has identified certain revenue streams for which the recognition of revenue
may
occur over time, which is a change from current practice. These revenue streams include certain customer stocking commitments. Additionally, the Company has identified certain revenue streams for which the recognition of revenue
may
be deferred, which is also a change from current practice. These revenue streams include certain tooling sales. The Company does
not
expect that the impact of these changes in the timing of revenue recognition for these items to be significant to the financial statements. The Company is also in the process of updating its internal controls and drafting the expanded disclosures as required by this ASU.
The Company does
not
expect significant changes to its systems or internal controls. As the Company continues thr
ough the adoption process, it is possible that these preliminary conclusions
may
change.

February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU

Leases.
The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic
840,
Leases
. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The amendments in ASU
No.

are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 
15,
2018,
including interim periods within that reporting period with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In
March 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
No.

Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting
. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU on
January 1, 2017.
As the Company has
not
had a significant amount of forfeitures historically, under the provisions of this ASU the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The impact of adopting this update to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements will depend on market factors and the timing and intrinsic value of future share-based compensation award vests and exercises. Subsequent to adoption, the Company notes the potential for volatility in its effective tax rate as any windfall or shortfall tax benefits related to its share-based compensation plans will be recorded directly to income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
 
Revisions
 
Certain revisions have been made to the
2016
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to the current year presentation relating to a reserve for uncertain tax positions and to cash paid for capital expenditures. The reclassification of a reserve for uncertain tax positions resulted in an increase to the change in refundable income taxes of
$315,000
and a decrease to the change in accrued expenses of
$315,000.
A change in presentation of cash paid for capital expenditures resulted in a decrease of
$311,000
in both the change in accounts payable and in additions to property, plant and equipment, net. These revisions had
no
impact on previously reported net income and are deemed immaterial to the previously issued financial statements.
