ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
ALPHA PRO TECH, LTD. (referred to herein as the "Company") was incorporated on
February 17, 1983 pursuant to the British Columbia COMPANY ACT R.S.B.C. 1979,
Chapter 59 (the "COMPANY ACT (BRITISH COLUMBIA)" under the name Princeton
Resources Corp. The Company subsequently changed its name to Canadian Graphite
Ltd. on July 27, 1988 and further changed its name to BFD Industries Inc. on
July 4, 1989. Effective July 1, 1994, the Company changed its corporate domicile
from Canada to the State of Delaware in the United States and changed its name
to Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. At that time, all of the Company's operating assets were
transferred to its wholly owned subsidiary, Alpha Pro Tech, Inc. The Company's
executive offices are located at 60 Centurian Drive, Suite 112, Markham Ontario,
Canada L3R 9R2, and its telephone number is (905) 479-0654.
BUSINESS
The Company develops, manufactures and markets disposable protective apparel and
consumer products for the cleanroom, food services, industrial, medical, dental
and consumer markets. The Company operates through three divisions: apparel;
mask and shield; and extended care. The Company's products are primarily sold
under the "Alpha Pro Tech" brand name, but are also sold for use under private
label.
The Company's products are classified into five groups: Disposable protective
apparel consisting of a complete line of shoecovers, headcovers, gowns,
coveralls and labcoats; food industry apparel consisting of a line of automated
shoecovers, sleeve protectors, aprons, and face shields; infection control
products consisting of a line of face masks and face shields; extended care
products consisting of a line of mattress overlays, wheelchair covers, geriatric
chair surfaces, operating room table surfaces and pediatric surfaces; and
consumer products consisting of a line of pet bedding and pet toys. The
Company's products as classified above are grouped into three segments. The
Apparel segment consisting of disposable protective apparel and food industry
apparel; the Mask/Shield segment consisting of infection control products; and
the Extended Care Unreal Lambskin(R) segment consisting of extended care
products and consumer products.
2
The Company's current strategy is to not only grow its cleanroom business
through its exclusive agreement with VWR Scientific Products, but to focus on
its other core businesses which include medical, dental and pet markets and to
grow its industrial safety and food service businesses . As part of its current
strategy emphasis is being placed on developing innovative products and
processes and sourcing raw materials and finished goods globally which are
expected to increase capacity and gross margins.
The Company will continue to pursue the food service industry with its
proprietary shoecover, which helps prevent employees from slipping and falling
on slippery surfaces, found in restaurants, supermarkets and food processing
facilities.
The Company's products are used primarily in hospitals, clean rooms,
laboratories, industrial and dental offices and are distributed principally in
the United States through a network presently consisting of 2 purchasing groups,
9 major distributors, approximately 800 additional distributors, approximately
24 independent sales representatives and a Company sales and marketing force of
14 people.

DISPOSABLE PROTECTIVE APPAREL
The Apparel division was established April 1, 1994, in connection with the
acquisition of the assets of Disposable Medical Products Inc. ("DMPI"). The
products manufactured include many different styles of shoecovers, headcovers,
gowns, coveralls, lab coats, and other miscellaneous products. These are
manufactured in Mexico and China.
FOOD INDUSTRY
The Company has developed a line of safety products specifically for the food
industry, including a shoecover produced on our patented automated shoecover
machine in combination with our patented laminated material. These products
enabled the Company to secure a Vendor Supply Agreement with a lender in the
food service industry.
MASKS AND FACE SHIELDS
The facemasks come in a wide variety of filtration efficiencies and styles. The
Company's patented Positive Facial Lock(R) feature provides a custom fit to the
face to prevent blow-by for better protection. Combine this feature with the
Magic Arch (R), that holds the mask away from the nose and mouth and creates a
breathing chamber, and you have a quality disposable facemask.
The term "blow-by" is used to describe the potential for infectious material
entering or escaping a facemask without going through the filter as a result of
gaps or openings in the face mask.
All of the face shields are made from an optical-grade polyester film, and have
a permanent anti-fog feature. This provides the wearer with extremely
lightweight, distortion-free protection that can be worn for hours and will not
fog up from humidity and/or perspiration. An important feature of all eye and
face shields is that they are disposable. This eliminates a chance of cross
infection between patients and saves hospitals the expense of sterilization
after every use.
EXTENDED CARE
The Extended Care Division began with the Company's Unreal Lambskin(R) pressure
sore and bed patient monitoring system product lines. The Unreal Lambskin (R) is
used to prevent decubitus ulcers or bedsores on long term care patients. The bed
patient monitoring system offers nurses an alarm system that can tell when
patients try to get out of bed. This helps nursing and other extended and long
term care facilities to comply with the Omnibus Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of
1987 mandate to work towards using no restraints to control residents or
patients in these facilities.
CONSUMER PRODUCTS
The Consumer Product Division uses the Company's existing medical products and
technologies for general consumer purposes. The Unreal Lambskin (R) is being
packaged for the retail pet bed market and pet toys.
MARKETS
The Company's products are sold to the following markets: Infection Control
Products, (Masks and Shields) and disposable protective apparel are sold to the
Medical and Dental market and the Industrial and Cleanroom markets; Unreal
Lambskin and Medi-Pads are sold to the Extended Care market; Pet Bedding and Pet
Toys are sold to the Consumer market; and automated shoecovers are sold to the
Food Industry, Medical, Industrial and Cleanroom market. The Company has
expanded its marketing efforts for the Food Industry to include apparel, such as
sleeve protectors and aprons as well as shields.
4
DISTRIBUTION
The Company relies primarily on a network of independent distributors for the
sale of its products including the following:
* VWR Scientific Products
* Allegiance Healthcare
* McKesson HBOC
* Medline Industries
* Blain Supply
* Owens and Minor
* Durr/Bergin Brunswig Medical
* Merck
* Henry Schein
All of the above distributors to the best of the Company's knowledge sell
competing products.
In 1996, the Company entered into an exclusive five year agreement to supply VWR
Scientific Products with eye and face shields, masks and disposable apparel for
sale to the Industrial/Cleanroom market place. The distribution agreement calls
for VWR to purchase a minimum of $5 million in each of the years of the contract
to retain exclusive distribution rights. This minimum figure has been attained
for 1996 through 1999. In early 2000, the Company extended its exclusive
agreement through 2002 with a minimum annual requirement of $10 million for VWR
to retain exclusive distribution rights. On January 1 ,2001 this agreement was
extended to December 31, 2003 and the minimum was increased to $12,500,000.
Sales to VWR Scientific Products represented 62.5% of total sales for 2000,
57.8% for 1999 and 51.1% for 1998. The loss of this customer would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business.
The Company does not generally have backlog orders, as orders are usually placed
for shipment and shipped within 30 days, however, with an exceptional high
influx of orders in the last quarter of 2000 and the first two months of 2001,
shipments are now running at approximately 45 days. The Company is presently
expanding its capacity through strategic relationships with global suppliers and
the increasing of capacity in its US and Mexican plants. The Company anticipates
to be back to under 30 day delivery by the second quarter of 2001.
5
MANUFACTURING
The Company's mask production facility is located in a 27,000 square foot
building at 903 West Center Street, Bldg. E, North Salt Lake, Utah.
A 25,000 square foot facility located at 615 North Parker Drive, Janesville,
Wisconsin is used to manufacture the Company's Unreal Lambskin products.
The Company produces its disposable protective apparel in three facilities: a
40,000 square foot facility located at 1287 Fairway Drive in Nogales, Arizona
which is used for cutting, warehousing and shipping, a 19,500 square foot
facility at Kennedy Drive #6 in Sonora, Mexico which is used for assembly of
shields and sewing, and a 30,000 square foot facility located at Ave. Abolardo
L. Rodriguez y Novena, Benjamin Hill, Sonora Mexico, which is used for sewing.
The Company has a material coating and automated shoecover facility of 36,000
square feet located at 2224 Cypress Street, Valdosta, Georgia.
The Company has multiple suppliers of the materials used to produce its
products. In that regard, the Company currently has no problems, and does not
anticipate any problems, with respect to the sources and availability of the
materials needed to produce its products. The business of the Company is not
subject to seasonal considerations. It is necessary for the Company to have
adequate finished inventory in stock, and the Company generally maintains a
two-to-three month supply of product.
COMPETITION
The Company faces substantial competition from numerous other companies,
including some companies with greater marketing and financial resources. The
Company's major competitor in the medical and dental markets is Kimberly Clark
of Fort Worth, Texas. Other large competitors would include Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing Corporation (3M), Johnson & Johnson, White Knight/Precept,
American Threshold, Medline Industries Inc. and Maxxium Medical. The Company's
major competitors in the industrial and cleanroom market are Kimberly Clark, 3M,
Kappler USA, Dupont and Allegiance Health Care. In the extended care market,
Texten Corp., Glenoit Mills and Hudson Industries are the principal competitors,
and in the consumer products market, principal competitors include Flexmat
Corporation, Lazy Pet Company and Dogloo, Inc. The Company has entered the food
service market with a new type of product, and expects competition from
companies who provide floor treatment and manufacturers of safety boots such as
Shoes For Crews and Traction Plus. However, the Company believes that the
quality of its products, along with the price and service provided, will allow
it to remain competitive in the disposable apparel market.
6
The Company is not required to obtain regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA") with respect to the sale of its products. The
Company's products are, however, subject to prescribed "good manufacturing
practices" as defined by the FDA and its manufacturing facilities are inspected
by the FDA every two years to assure compliance with such "good manufacturing
practices." The Company is marketing a Particulate Respirator that meets the new
O.S.H.A. respirator guidelines and which has been approved by the National
Institute for Safety and Health (NIOSH). This product is designed to help
prevent the breathing in of the tuberculosis virus.
The Company does not anticipate that any federal, state and local provisions
which have been or may be enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment, will have any material effect upon the capital expenditures,
earnings and competitive position of its business.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
PATENTS
The Company's policy is to protect its intellectual property rights, products,
designs and processes through the filing of patents in the United States and
where appropriate in Canada and other foreign countries. At present, the Company
has 14 United States patents relating to its MEDS, Add-A-Mask, Coverall, 1/2
Coverall, Combo Cone, Combo, Positive Facial Lock and Shieldmate products, a
U.S. patent on the automated shoecover and the shoecover process and a fluid
impervious and non-slip fabric for the Company's Aqua Trak shoecover . In
addition the Company has a U.S. patent on a method to fold and put on sterile
garments. The Company believes that its patents may offer a competitive
advantage, but there can be no assurance that any patents, issued or in process,
will not be circumvented or invalidated. The Company also intends to continue to
rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how to maintain and develop its
commercial position.
The various United States patents issued have remaining durations of
approximately 6 to 16 years before expiration.
TRADEMARKS
Many of the Company products are sold under various trademarks and trade names
including Alpha Pro Tech. The Company believes that many of its trademarks and
trade names have significant recognition in its principal markets and takes
customary steps to register or otherwise protect its rights in its trademarks
and trade names.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. ("Alpha" or the "Company") reported record net income for
the year ended December 31, 2000 of $1,460,000 as compared to net income of
$1,129,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, representing an improvement of
$331,000 or 29.3%. The net income increase of $331,000 is attributable primarily
to an increase in gross profit of $907,000, due to higher sales and gross profit
margin and decrease in net interest expense of $130,000, partially offset by an
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $482,000, an
increase in depreciation and amortization of $43,000 and an increase in income
taxes of $181,000. Management expects a sixth consecutive record in sales and
net income in 2001.
SALES Consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased to a
record $21,130,000 from $20,235,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999,
representing an increase of $895,000 or 4.4%.
Sales for the Apparel Division for the year ended December 31, 2000 were
$13,507,000 as compared to $12,883,000 for the same period of 1999. The Apparel
Division sales increase of $624,000 or 4.8% was due to increased sales to the
Company's largest distributor. This distributor has reported record annual sales
for the fifth consecutive year to its customers of the Company's products.
Management's expectation is that growth should continue, and as a result the
Company's sales to this distributor should also remain strong.
Mask and eye shield sales increased by $288,000 or 5.7% to $5,361,000 in 2000
from $5,073,000 in 1999. This increase is primarily the result of growth in
dental mask sales of 10.2%, growth in medical mask sales of 8.6%, partially
offset by a decline in industrial mask sales of 3.4%. The industrial mask sales
decrease is the result of a soft second quarter. Industrial mask sales improved
in the last two quarters of 2000 and are expected to remain strong into 2001.
Sales from the Company's Extended Care Unreal Lambskin(R) (and other related
products, which includes a line of pet beds), decreased by $17,000 or 0.7% to
$2,262,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $2,279,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1999. The slight decrease in sales of $17,000 is primarily
the result of a decrease in medical fleece product sales partially offset by an
increase in pet bed sales. In 2000, the Company implemented a pet products
telemarketing campaign and believes that sales should continue to strengthen
into 2001.
The Medical market, which includes a line of face masks and fleece bed pads, is
down by $462,000 or 12.7% year to date. Fleece bed pads sales are down and
medical face masks sales are up. With the addition of independent sales
representatives and an improved line of face masks, sales to new medical
distributors are expected to improve over the next 12 months.
11
Dental market sales increased by approximately $143,000 or 10.2% for the year
ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The Company
is working with national dental distributors to increase the Company's share
of the Dental market.
Sales in the Pet supply market, in which the Company markets a line of pet
beds, increased by $130,000 or 13.3% for the year ended December 31, 2000 as
compared to the same period in 1999. Since late 1999, the Company has
dedicated a sales representative to this market and sales should continue to
strengthen.
In the Food Service market, sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 were
$175,000 compared to $56,000 in the same period of 1999, an increase of $119,000
or 212.5%. The Company expects Food Service sales to gain momentum and grow
significantly in 2001. The Company has signed a Vendor Supply Agreement in 2000
with a leader in the food service industry who has more than 25,000 restaurants
in 119 countries worldwide, to market its line of proprietary Food Service
Safety Products to their restaurants. Alpha has initiated a widespread
telemarketing and sampling campaign. The Company has participated and will
continue to participate in local and regional meetings throughout the US
along with Security, Human Resources, and Field Service directors from this
industry leader. The Company is also working with insurance companies which
specialize in insuring the Food Service industry, as well as other national
Food Service chains.
Management believes that over the next twelve months, revenue will grow in all
of its current markets, which include Industrial Cleanroom/Safety, Medical,
Dental, Pet Supply and Food Service.
COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold decreased to $12,238,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2000 from $12,250,000 for the same period in 1999. As a
percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 57.9% in 2000 from
60.5% in 1999. Gross profit margin increased to 42.1% for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from 39.5% for the same period in 1999. Management expects
gross profit margin for fiscal 2001 to continue to be strong, due to a more
global emphasis on purchasing and a continued emphasis on improving
manufacturing processes and efficiency.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by $482,000 or 7.6%, to $6,834,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from $6,352,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
to 32.3% in the year ended December 31, 2000 from 31.4% in the same period of
1999. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily
consists of increased payroll related costs of $392,000; increased public
company expenses of $50,000, including investor relations, stock exchange
listing fees, options/warrants issued for services, annual report and annual
meeting costs, stock transfer costs, and costs associated with SEC reporting
requirements; and increased marketing, commissions and travel expenses of
$256,000. This is partially offset by decreased office, telephone, factory,
insurance and general expenses of $154,000, decreased professional fees of
$40,000 and decreased rent of $22,000. Management expects selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales to decrease as sales
increase.
DEPRECIATION & AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization expense increased by
$43,000 to $405,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $362,000 for the
same period in 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to increased
depreciation on the automated shoecover machines and the introduction of new
mask machines.
12
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS Income from operations increased by $382,000 or 30.1%, to
$1,653,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to income from
operations of $1,271,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in
income from operations is due to an increase in gross profit of $907,000,
partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
of $482,000 and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $43,000.
NET INTEREST Net interest expense decreased by $130,000 or 104.8% to net
interest income of $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from net interest
expense of $124,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in net
interest expense is due to lower borrowings, lower interest rate, decreased
interest on capital leases and increased interest income. Interest income
increased by $22,000, to $61,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from
$39,000 in the same period of 1999.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX Provision for income tax increased by $181,000 or
1005.6% to $199,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $18,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in income tax is due to net operating
losses (NOL's) from prior years being utilized during all of 1999 and only
through the third quarter in 2000.
NET INCOME Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was a record
$1,460,000 compared to net income of $1,129,000 for the year ended December 31,
1999, an improvement of $331,000 or 29.3%. The net income increase of $331,000
is comprised of an increase in income from operations of $382,000, a decrease in
interest expense of $130,000, partially offset by an increase in income taxes of
$181,000.
The Company in 1999 initiated a 401 (k) Retirement Savings Plan. Employees who
have attained age 21 and completed at least one year of service with the Company
are eligible to make contributions to the 401 (k) Plan of up to 12% of the
employees compensation. The employee's fully vested benefit under the plan may
be distributed to the employee upon retirement, death, disability or termination
of employment or upon reaching age 59 1/2. Under the 401 (k) Plan the Company is
contributing 1/2 of 1% for employees contributing 1% of their compensation and
1% for employees contributing 2% or more of their compensation. For the year
ended December 31, 2000 the Company has accrued $14,200 compared to $15,300 for
the year ended December 31, 1999.
The chief executive officer and president are entitled to a combined bonus equal
to 10% of the pre-tax profits of the company. A bonus of $183,000 has been
accrued in 2000 as compared to $125,000 in 1999.
13
FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998
The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 1999 of
$1,129,000 as compared to net income of $316,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998, representing an improvement of $813,000 or 257.3%. The net income increase
of $813,000 is attributable primarily to an increase in gross profit of
$733,000, due to a 12.5% increase in sales, a Decrease in depreciation and
amortization of $40,000, a decrease in net interest expense of $69,000,
partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
of $11,000 and an increase in provision for incomes taxes of $18,000.
SALES Consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased to
$20,235,000 from $17,985,000 in 1998, representing an increase of $2,250,000 or
12.5%.
Net sales for the Apparel Division for the year ended December 31, 1999 were
$12,883,000 as compared to $11,685,000 for the same period of 1998. The Apparel
Division sales increase of $1,198,000 or 10.3% was primarily due to increased
sales to the Company's largest distributor. This distributor has reported sales
increases of the Company's products for six consecutive quarters. Net sales to
this distributor were 57.8% and 51.1% of total consolidated net sales for 1999
and 1998, respectively.
Mask and eye shield sales increased by $915,000 or 22.0% to $5,073,000 in 1999
from $4,158,000 in 1998. This increase is primarily the result of growth in
industrial mask sales, and to a lesser extent medical mask sales, partially
offset by a decline of sales in the dental distributor market. The industrial
mask sales increase is primarily the result of sales to the Company's largest
distributor. As a result of the introduction of the Medical Division in 1999,
medical mask sales improved 8.1% in 1999.
Sales from the Company's Extended Care Unreal Lambskin(R) and other related
products, which includes a line of pet beds, increased by $137,000 or 6.4% to
$2,279,000 in 1999 compared to $2,142,000 in the same period in 1998. The
increase in sales of $137,000 is primarily the result of increased pet product
sales and to a lesser extent to medical fleece sales. In 1999, the Company
implemented a pet products telemarketing campaign.
In 1999, sales for all three divisions of the Company improved over the previous
year, as compared to 1998 in which only one division, the Apparel Division,
improved over the prior year.
COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold increased to $12,250,000 for the year
ended December 31,1999 from $10,733,000 for the same period in 1998. As a
percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased to 60.5% in 1999 from
59.7% in 1998. Gross profit margin Decreased to 39.5% for the year ended
December 31, 1999 from 40.3% for the same period in 1998.
The decline in gross profit margin to 39.5% from 40.3% is a result of mask
manufacturing inefficiencies due to the growth of the mask sales.
14
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by a modest $11,000 to $6,352,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999 from $6,341,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses Decreased to 31.4% in
1999 from 35.3% in 1998. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses primarily consists of increased payroll related costs of $342,000;
increased professional fees of $28,000; increased rent expense of $19,000;
increased factory expenses of $42,000 and increased general office and insurance
expenses of $62,000. This is partially offset by Decreased marketing,
commissions, and travel expenses of $359,000; Decreased public company expenses
of $102,000, including investor relations, options/warrants issued for services,
annual report and annual meeting costs, stock transfer costs, and costs
associated with SEC reporting requirements; and Decreased telecommunication
expenses of $21,000.
DEPRECIATION & AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization expense Decreased by
$40,000 to $362,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $402,000 for the
same period in 1998. This Decrease is primarily attributable to assets in the
mask division being fully depreciated.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS Income from operations increased by $762,000 or 149.7%,
to $1,271,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to income from
operations of $509,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in
income from operations is due to an increase in gross profit of $733,000, a
Decrease in depreciation and amortization of $40,000, partially offset by a
modest increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $11,000.
NET INTEREST Net interest expense Decreased by $69,000 or 35.8% to $124,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1999 from $193,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998. The Decrease in net interest expense is due to lower borrowings, Decreased
interest on capital leases and increased interest income. Interest income
increased by $3,000, to $39,000 for 1999 from $36,000 in 1998. The Company has
extended until December 31, 2001, its $2,900,000 credit facility with an
asset-based lender, consisting of a line of credit of up to $2,500,000 and a
term note of $400,000, with interest at prime plus 1.75% on the credit line and
at prime plus 2.25% on the term note.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX Provision for income tax consists of the Company's
alternative minimum taxable (AMT) income. Net operating losses (NOLs) from prior
years were utilized during 1999 to offset all other income tax expense.
NET INCOME Net income for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1,129,000
compared to net income of $316,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, an
improvement of $813,000 or 257.3%. The net income increase of $813,000 is
comprised of an increase in income from operations of $762,000 and a Decrease in
interest expense of $69,000, partially offset by an increase in provision for
income taxes of $18,000.
The Company in 1999 initiated a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Employees who
have attained age 21 and completed at least one year of service with the
Company are eligible to make contributions to the 401(k) Plan of up to 12% of
the employees compensation. The employee's fully vested benefit under the
plan may be distributed to the employee upon retirement, death, disability or
termination of employment or upon reaching age 59 1/2. Under the 401(k) Plan
the Company is contributing 1/2 of 1% for employees contributing 1% of their
compensation and 1% for employees contributing 2% or more of their
compensation. For the year ended December 31, 1999 the company has accrued
$15,300.
The chief executive officer and president are entitled to a combined bonus
equal to 10% of the pre-tax profits of the company. A bonus of $125,000 was
earned in 1999 as compared to $32,000 in 1998.
15
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2000, the Company had cash of $1,131,000 and working capital
of $5,475,000. During the year ended December 31, 2000, cash increased by
$346,000 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $405,000. The
increase in the Company's cash is primarily due to income from operations and a
decrease in inventory, partially offset by capital expenditures of $872,000 and
a reduction in borrowings of $427,000. In 2000, the Company re-negotiated its
credit facility to a traditionally based line of credit from an asset-based
loan. The Company has a $4,041,000 credit facility with the bank, of which
$494,000 is outstanding at December 31, 2000, consisting of a line of credit of
up to $3,500,000, a term note of $225,000 and a equipment loan of $316,000, with
interest at prime plus 1.0% on the credit line, prime plus 1.0% on the term loan
and a 10.25% fixed rate on the equipment loan. The line of credit expires in May
2002, the term note expires in April 2003 and the equipment loan expires in
November 2005. At December 31, 2000, the Company had not borrowed on its line of
credit.
Net cash provided by operations was $2,091,000 for the year ended December 31,
2000 compared to $1,677,000 for the same period of 1999. The Company's
generation of cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 is
due primarily to the increase in net income, a decrease in inventory, and a
decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by an
increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities.
The Company's investing activities have consisted primarily of expenditures for
fixed assets of $872,000 and increases in intangible assets of $24,000 for a
total of $896,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $479,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1999.
The Company anticipates that its mask manufacturing capabilities are to be
further improved in 2001 at an estimated cost of $400,000. The Company also
anticipates that its automated shoecover manufacturing capabilities are to be
further improved in 2001 at an estimated cost of $150,000. The Company intends
to lease equipment whenever possible.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company's cash used in financing
resulted primarily from net decreases in the Company's loan payable of $427,000,
decreases in capital leases of $130,000 and the buy-back of 374,100 of the
Company's common share at a cost of $506,000 and the exercise of options to
purchase 236,667 shares of the Company's common shares in which the Company
received $214,000. The Company announced in December 1999 that it was
authorized to buy-back up to $500,000 of its own shares. In January 2001, the
Company announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the
repurchase of an additional $500,000 worth of shares of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock. As of February 28, 2001, the Company has bought
back 436,600 common shares at a cost of $571,800.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations, its current cash
balance, and the funds available under its asset-based borrowings, will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's projected working capital and planned
capital expenditures for at least 12 months.

YEAR 2000
We met our Year 2000 project objectives and completed the project prior to
year-end. We have not experienced any disruption in our operations as a result
of non-compliance of vendors, financial institutions, or other third parties or
external systems. At this time, the possibility of a third-party risk arising,
which could have a material risk on the company, is not reasonably likely to
occur. In 1998 we developed a Year 2000 program to identify, evaluate, test,
upgrade, or replace each of our computer based systems in connection with Year
2000 readiness. We completed the process of modifying, upgrading, remediating
and replacing major computer related systems that were identified as potentially
non-compliant in June 1999. In 1999 we requested letters of compliance from
critical external suppliers to determine the status of their efforts to become
Year 2000 compliant. Total costs associated with our Year 2000 project were
funded with operating cash flow and approximated $50,000, of which approximately
$20,000 was incurred in 1998 and approximately $30,000 was incurred in 1999.

1. THE COMPANY
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (the Company) manufactures and distributes a variety of
disposable mask, shield, shoecover and apparel products and woundcare
(fleece) products. Most of the Company's disposable apparel, mask and shield
products and woundcare products are distributed to medical, dental,
industrial and clean room markets, predominantly in the United States of
America.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alpha Pro Tech, Inc. (APT), as
well as APT's wholly-owned subsidiary, DPI De Mexico (DPI). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method. Provision is made for slow-moving,
obsolete or unusable inventory.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization and is depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method
over the shorter of the respective useful lives of the assets or the related
lease terms as follows:
Factory equipment 9-20 years
Office furniture and equipment 7 years
Leasehold improvements 4-6 years
Vehicles 5 years
Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized whereas costs of
maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill and is being
amortized using the straight-line method over 8 years. Patent rights and
trademarks are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives of 8-17 years.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Impairment of long-lived assets is determined in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible
assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable.
STOCK OPTIONS ISSUED FOR SERVICES
Options to purchase common stock and warrants to purchase common stock that
are granted to nonemployees in exchange for services are valued at their
estimated fair value at the measurement date and are expensed over the
period the services are rendered. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company's
policy is to no longer grant stock options and warrants to nonemployees.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognized when goods are shipped to customers. Sales are reduced
for anticipated sales returns and allowances.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
As allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS
123), "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," which recommends, but does
not require, a method based on the fair value of equity instruments awarded
to employees to account for stock-based compensation, the Company applies
the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" to account for its stock-based compensation. The
company also provides pro forma disclosure in the notes to the financial
statements of the differences between the fair value method and the
intrinsic value method as required by SFAS 123 (Note 8).
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes." This statement requires an asset and liability approach for
accounting for income taxes. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the
carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not
such assets will be realized (Note 9).
NET INCOME PER SHARE
The following table provides a reconciliation of both the net income and the
number of shares used in the computations of "basic" earnings per share
("EPS"), which utilizes the weighted average number of shares outstanding
without regard to potential shares, and "diluted" EPS, which includes all
such shares.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The Company has adopted the United States dollar as its functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies during the reporting periods are
translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at
the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies
at each period end are translated at the exchange rate in effect at that
date and are immaterial in amount. Transaction gains or losses on foreign
exchange are reflected in net income for the periods presented and are not
significant in amount.

Had compensation expense for the Company's employee/director options been
determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant date, the
Company's pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share would have
been as follows:
FOR THE YEAR ENDED
2000 1999
Pro forma net income $1,221,740 $1,021,000
---------- ----------
Pro forma basic income per share $0.05 $0.04
---------- ----------
Pro forma diluted income per share $0.05 $0.04

For the purpose of the above pro forma disclosures, the fair value of each
employee/director stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:
2000 1999 1998
Risk-free interest rate 6.63% 6.00% 5.00%
Expected life 5 years 5 years 5 years
Expected volatility 93% 70% 70%

The provision for income taxes for 2000 consists of the Company's current
tax liability and the changes in deferred taxes, including the benefit of
the elimination of the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance
offsetting the deferred tax asset in 1999 has been released pursuant to SFAS
109 as the Company has fully utilized the federal net operating losses
(NOLs) for United States tax purposes as of December 31, 2000. Some state
NOLs remain to be utilized in the future. All unutilized Canadian NOLs
expired as of December 31, 2000.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount that would be
obtained by applying the United States statutory rate to the income before
income taxes as a result of the following:
