DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (Alpha or the Company) reported record quarterly net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 of $668,000 as compared to $265,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, representing an increase of $403,000 or 152.1%. The increase is attributable to an increase in income before provision for income taxes of $586,000, partially offset by an increase in income taxes of $183,000.
Sales Consolidated sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 decreased to $5,805,000 from $6,003,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, representing a decrease of $198,000 or 3.3%. The Company attributes the lower sales primarily to the continued slowdown in the Semiconductor clean room market. Management expects increased sales each quarter vs. prior period quarters for the remainder of 2002 as we continue to regain the momentum lost during the second half of 2001.
Apparel sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $4,180,000 as compared to $4,367,000 for the same period of 2001. The Apparel sales decrease of $187,000 or 4.3% was due primarily to decreased sales to the Companys largest Industrial Safety/Clean Room distributor, partially offset by improved sales to other Industrial Safety distributors. Sales are down due to the continued weakness in the Semiconductor clean room and Industrial Safety markets. The Company expects a slow recovery throughout the year in both of those market segments. The Company has begun to service the Pharmaceutical industry, and as a result, management expects growth in this market segment.
Mask and eye shield sales increased by $54,000 or 4.5% to $1,260,000 in 2002 from $1,206,000 in 2001. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in medical and dental masks, partially offset by a small decline in industrial mask and shield sales.
Sales from the Companys Extended Care Unreal Lambskinâ and other related products, which includes a line of pet beds, decreased by $65,000 or 15.1% to $365,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $430,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in sales of $65,000 is primarily the result of a decrease in medical fleece product and pet bed sales.
Consolidated sales were $11,008,000 and $11,438,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively, representing a decrease of $430,000 or 3.8%.
Apparel sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $7,566,000 as compared to $7,843,000 for the same period of 2001, a decrease of $277,000 or 3.5%. The Companys largest distributor has reported lower year to date sales of the Companys products to their end-users, due to the slowdown in the Semiconductor clean room market.
8
Mask and eye shield sales decreased by $84,000 or 3.3% to $2,481,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $2,565,000 in the same period of 2001. The decrease is primarily due to lower industrial mask sales, partially offset by increased medical and dental mask sales and shield sales.
Sales from the Companys Extended Care Unreal Lambskinâ and other related products decreased by $69,000 or 6.7% to $961,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1,030,000 in the same period in 2001. The decrease in sales is the result of a decrease in medical bed pad sales, partially offset by a slight increase in sales of pet bed products.
The Medical market, which includes a line of facemasks, eye shield and fleece bed pads, decreased by 10.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. A decrease in Medical fleece bed pads sales was partially offset by an increase in Medical facemask and shield sales. The Medical market, which comprises approximately 15% of the Companys revenue, is not considered a high growth area for the Company.
Dental market sales increased by 15.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The dental market decreased by 2.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Management believes that revenue in this market, which comprises approximately 7% of the Companys revenue, will continue to strengthen due to the hiring of a dedicated dental sales rep.
In the Food Service market, sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $170,000 compared to $86,000 in the same period of 2001, representing an increase of $84,000 or 97.7%. In January 2002, the Company announced a new distribution agreement with a food service distributor to sell and distribute Alpha Pro Techs line of personal safety products starting in February 2002. The Company expects modest growth in this market in 2002 and significant growth over the long term.
Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased to $2,734,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $3,473,000 for the same period in 2001 Gross profit margin increased to 52.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from 42.1% for the same period in 2001, due to an increase in the amount of products being manufactured in China. Management expects this to continue during fiscal 2002 and therefore gross profit margin should continue to be strong for the balance of the year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 2001, cost of goods sold decreased to $5,512,000 from $6,527,000. Gross profit margin increased to 49.9% from 42.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by $40,000 or 2.0% to $1,951,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
from $1,991,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased slightly to 33.6% in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from
33.2% for the same period in 2001. The
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consists of
decreased travel, marketing and commission expenses of $80,000; and decreased
general office expenses of $42,000, partially offset by increased rent and
utilities of $22,000 and increased professional fees and public company
expenses of $70,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $191,000 or 5.0%, to $3,609,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $3,800,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 32.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 33.2% in the same period of 2001. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consists of decreased payroll related costs of $110,000; decreased travel, marketing and commission expenses of $110,000 and decreased general office expenses of $86,000; partially offset by increased rent and utilities of $52,000 and increased professional fees and public company expenses of $56,000.
Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $10,000 to $110,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $120,000 for the same period in 2001 and decreased by $19,000 to $218,000 from $237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminated the need to amortize goodwill effective January 1, 2002.
Income from Operations Income from operations increased by $591,000 or 141.1%, to $1,010,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to income from operations of $419,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase in income from operations is due to an increase in gross profit of $541,000, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $40,000, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $10,000.
Income from operations increased by $795,000 or 91.0% to $1,669,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to income from operations of $874,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in income from operations is due to an increase in gross profit of $585,000, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $191,000, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $19,000.
Net Interest Net interest expense increased by $5,000 to $9,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from net interest expense of $4,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Net interest expense increased by $19,000 to $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in net interest expense is due to decreased interest income. Interest income decreased by $15,000 to $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $23,000 in the same period of 2001 due to an overall decrease in interest rates.
10
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes Income before provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was a record $1,001,000 as compared to $415,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, representing an increase of $586,000 or 141.2%. This increase is attributable primarily to an increase in gross profit of $541,000, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $40,000 and a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $10,000, partially offset by an increase in net interest expense of $5,000.
Income before provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1,650,000 as compared to $874,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, representing an increase of $776,000 or 88.8%. This increase is attributable primarily to an increase in gross profit of $585,000, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $191,000 and a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $19,000, partially offset by an increase in net interest expense of $19,000.
Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 was $333,000 and $561,000, as compared to $150,000 and $309,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The estimated tax rate is approximately 34%.
Net Income Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was a record $668,000 compared to net income of $265,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $403,000 or 152.1%. The net income increase of $403,000 is comprised of an increase in income from operations of $591,000, partially offset by an increase in net interest expense of $5,000 and an increase in income taxes of $183,000.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1,089,000 compared to net income of $565,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $524,000 or 92.8%. The net income increase of $524,000 is comprised of an increase in income from operations of $795,000, partially offset by an increase in net interest expense of $19,000 and an increase in income taxes of $252,000.
11
As of June 30, 2002, the Company had cash of $1,236,000 and working capital of $7,127,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, cash decreased by $136,000 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $567,000. The decrease in the Companys cash is due primarily to net payments on notes payable and payments for the repurchase of the Companys common shares, partially offset by income from operations.
The Company has a $4,301,000 credit facility with a bank, consisting of a line of credit of up to $3,500,000, a term note of $225,000 and equipment loans of $576,000, with interest at prime plus 0.5% on the credit line, prime plus 1.0% on the term loan and an 8.5% fixed rate on the equipment loans. At June 30, 2002, the prime interest rate was 4.75%. The line of credit expires in May 2004, the term note expires in April 2003 and the equipment loans expire between December 2005 and September 2006. At June 30, 2002, the Companys unused portion of the line of credit is $2,282,000.
Net cash provided from operations was $510,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $394,000 for the same period of 2001. The increase in Companys generation of cash from operations of $510,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is primarily due to an increase in net income, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in inventory, accounts receivable and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.
The Companys investing activities have consisted primarily of expenditures for property and equipment and intangible assets, for a total of $108,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $945,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The Company expects to purchase approximately an additional $100,000 of equipment in 2002.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Companys cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from payments on the Companys notes payable of $317,000 and payments of $215,0000 for the repurchase of common stock.
In April 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the buy-back of up to an additional $500,000 of the Companys outstanding common stock. Previously the Company has bought back 877,900 common shares at a cost of $1,036,000. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has bought back a total of 1,112,900 common shares at a cost of $1,251,000, which includes 235,000 common shares at a cost of $215,000 on the most recently approved buy back.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations, its current cash balance, and the funds available under its credit facility, will be sufficient to satisfy the Companys projected working capital and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
