1.	The Company

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (“Alpha Pro Tech,” the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) is in the business of protecting people, products and environments. The Company accomplishes this by developing, manufacturing and marketing a line of building supply products for the new home and re-roofing markets and a line of disposable protective apparel for the cleanroom, industrial, pharmaceutical, medical and dental markets.

The Building Supply segment consists of construction weatherization products, such as housewrap and synthetic roof underlayment, as well as other woven material.

The Disposable Protective Apparel segment consists of a complete line of disposable protective clothing (shoecovers, bouffant caps, coveralls, gowns, frocks and lab coats), face masks and face shields. All of our disposable protective apparel products, including face masks and face shields, are sold through similar distribution channels, are single-use and disposable, have the purpose of protecting people, products and environments, and have to be produced in Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved facilities, regardless of the market served.

The Company’s products are sold under the "Alpha Pro Tech" brand name as well as under private label, and are predominantly sold in the United States of America (“US”).

The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected global economies, financial markets and the overall environment in which we do business. Overall, the increase in sales of our Disposable Protective Apparel segment products resulting from the pandemic has had a positive impact on our year-to-date results, but the positive impact in 2021 is less than in 2020, as the effects of COVID-19 are normalizing. The extent of the pandemic’s effect on our future operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments, which cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and the resumption of widespread economic activity in certain sectors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any certainty the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

2.	Basis of Presentation and Revenue Recognition Policy

The interim financial information included in this report is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reflected herein. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, omit certain information and note disclosures that would be necessary to present the statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s current year SEC filings, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on March 10, 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was prepared using information from the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the 2020 Form 10-K; however, it does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Net sales includes revenue from products and shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for product returns and any related sales incentives. Our customer contracts have a single performance obligation: transfer control of products to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring control of products. All revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligations under the applicable contract. We recognize revenue in connection with transferring control of the promised products to the customer, with revenue being recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the products, which is generally when title passes to the customer upon delivery to a third party carrier for FOB shipping point arrangements and to the customer for FOB destination arrangements, at which time a receivable is created for the invoice sent to the customer. Shipping and handling activities are performed prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods, and are accounted for as fulfillment activities and are not a promised good or service. Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs, associated with the distribution of the Company’s product to the customers, are recorded in cost of goods sold and are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which is generally when title passes to the customer upon delivery to a third party carrier for FOB shipping point arrangements and to the customer for FOB destination arrangements. We estimate product returns based on historical return rates and estimate rebates based on contractual agreements. Using probability assessments, we estimate sales incentives expected to be paid over the term of the contract. Sales taxes and value added taxes in foreign and domestic jurisdictions that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net sales. The Company manufactures certain private label goods for customers and has determined that control does not pass to the customer at the time of manufacture, based upon the nature of the private labelling. The Company has determined as of June 30, 2021 that it had no material contract assets, and concluded that its contract liabilities (primarily rebates) had the right of offset against customer receivables. As of June 30, 2021, we had contract liabilities of $103,000 as a result of customer advance payments of orders in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 10 and Note 11 of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for information on revenue disaggregated by type and by geographic region.

3.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company previously granted stock options to employees and non-employee directors under a stock option plan (the “2004 Option Plan”). Stock options have been granted with exercise prices at or above the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date.

At the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 9, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”). The 2020 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance share awards, cash awards and other equity-based awards to employees (including officers), consultants and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates. A total of 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan, plus the number of shares underlying any award granted under the 2004 Option Plan that expires, terminates or is cancelled or forfeited under the terms of the 2004 Option Plan. As a result of the approval of the 2020 Incentive Plan, no future equity awards will be made pursuant to the 2004 Option Plan. Although no new awards may be granted under the 2004 Option Plan, all previously granted awards under the 2004 Option Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2004 Option Plan. As of June 30, 2021, 8,912 restricted stock equity awards had been granted under the 2020 Incentive Plan.

The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of stock-based awards determined as of the grant date, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards over the determined requisite service period, which is generally ratably over the vesting term.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no stock options were granted under the Company’s 2004 Option Plan. The Company recognized $169,000 and $183,000 in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to outstanding options. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 no restricted stock awards were granted under the 2020 Incentive Plan. The Company recognized $54,000 and $0 in compensation expense associated with outstanding restricted stock awards for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of an award is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The estimated volatility is based on historical volatility and management’s expectations of future volatility. The Company uses an estimated dividend payout of zero, as the Company has not paid dividends in the past and, at this time, does not expect to do so in the future. The Company accounts for option forfeitures as they occur. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

				Weighted Average
				Exercise Price
	Options			Per Option

Options outstanding, December 31, 2020		568,740		$	3.42
Granted to employees and non-employee directors		-			-
Exercised		(124,494	)		3.15
Canceled/expired/forfeited		-			-
Options outstanding, June 30, 2021		444,246			3.51
Options exercisable, June 30, 2021		285,583			3.47

As of June 30, 2021, $111,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.82 years.

4.	Investments

As of June 30, 2021, we had no investments. No marketable securities were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Certain marketable securities were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The total loss on marketable securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $18,000. The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to an unrealized loss of $35,000 and a realized gain of $17,000.

5.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for the annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. This guidance was applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes merit further discussion at this time.

7.	Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

In 2005, Alpha ProTech Engineered Products, Inc. (a subsidiary of Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.) entered into a joint venture with a manufacturer in India, Maple Industries and associates, for the production of building products. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, a private company, Harmony Plastics Private Limited (“Harmony”), was created with ownership interests of 41.66% owned by Alpha ProTech Engineered Products, Inc. and 58.34% owned by Maple Industries and associates.

This joint venture positions Alpha ProTech Engineered Products, Inc. to respond to current and expected increased product demand for housewrap and synthetic roof underlayment and provides future capacity for sales of specialty roofing component products and custom products for industrial applications requiring high quality extrusion coated fabrics. In addition, the joint venture now supplies products for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment.

The capital from the initial funding and a bank loan, which loan is guaranteed exclusively by the individual shareholders of Maple Industries and associates and collateralized by the assets of Harmony, were utilized to purchase the original manufacturing facility in India. Harmony currently has four facilities in India (three owned and one rented), consisting of: (1) a 113,000 square foot building for manufacturing building products; (2) a 73,000 square foot building for manufacturing coated material and sewing proprietary disposable protective apparel; (3) a 16,000 square foot facility for sewing proprietary disposable protective apparel; and (4) a 93,000 square foot facility (rented) for manufacturing Building Supply segment products. All additions have been financed by Harmony with no guarantees from the Company.

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company assesses whether or not related entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For those related entities that qualify as VIEs, ASC 810 requires the Company to determine whether or not the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and, if so, to consolidate the VIE. The Company has determined that Harmony is not a VIE and is, therefore, considered to be an unconsolidated affiliate.

The Company records its investment in Harmony as “equity investment in unconsolidated affiliate” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company records its equity interest in Harmony’s results of operations as “equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company periodically reviews its investment in Harmony for impairment. Management has determined that no impairment was required as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, Alpha Pro Tech purchased $7,435,000 and $3,774,000 of inventories, respectively, from Harmony. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, Alpha Pro Tech purchased $13,789,000 and $8,480,000 of inventories, respectively, from Harmony. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company sold $451,000 and $471,000 of inventories, respectively, to Harmony. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company sold $821,000 and $653,000 of inventories, respectively, to Harmony.

The Company’s primary operating lease commitments at June 30, 2021 related to the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Valdosta, Georgia; Nogales, Arizona; and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as the Company’s corporate headquarters in Markham, Ontario, Canada.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had operating lease right-of-use assets of $3,094,000 and operating lease liabilities of $3,148,000. As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any finance leases recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease expense was approximately $221,000 and $425,000, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

The aggregate future minimum lease payments and reconciliation to lease liabilities as of June 30, 2021 were as follows:

14.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. The Company’s policy is to record any interest and penalties assessed by the Internal Revenue Service as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company provides allowances for uncertain income tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination by the tax authority.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions.

An employer generally does not claim a corporate income tax deduction (which would be in an amount equal to the amount of income recognized by the employee) upon the exercise of its employee's incentive stock options (“ISOs”) unless the employee does not meet the holding period requirements and sells early, making a disqualifying disposition, or if the options otherwise do not qualify as ISOs under applicable tax laws. With non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), on the other hand, the employer is typically eligible to claim a deduction upon its employee's exercise of the NQSOs.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into U.S. federal law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which is aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act currently has minimal impact on the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which appear elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2021 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions, including, without limitation, our expected orders, production levels and sales in 2021 and 2022, and other information that is not historical information. When used in this report, the words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We may make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral and whether made by us or on our behalf, are expressly qualified by this special note.

The following are some of the risks that could affect our financial performance or that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:

●

Global economic conditions could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results.

●

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including effects on the business and operations of those within our supply chain and on global economic conditions generally, have had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial results and results of operations.

●

The loss of any large customer or a reduction in orders from any large customer could reduce our net sales and harm our operating results.

●

We rely on suppliers and contractors, and our business could be seriously harmed if these suppliers and contractors are not able to meet our requirements.

●

Risks associated with international manufacturing could have a significant effect on our business.

●

Our joint venture may present risks that are only present when third parties are involved.

●

Our success depends in part on protection of our intellectual property, and our failure to protect our intellectual property could adversely affect our competitive advantage, our brand recognition and our business.

●

Our industry is highly competitive, which may negatively affect our ability to grow our customer base and generate sales.

●

The Company’s results are affected by competitive conditions and customer preferences.

●

The Company’s growth objectives are largely dependent on the timing and market acceptance of our new product offerings, including our ability to continually renew our pipeline of new products and to bring those products to market.

●

Security breaches and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology infrastructure could interfere with the Company’s operations, compromise information belonging to the Company and our customers and suppliers and expose the Company to liability, which could adversely impact the Company’s business and reputation.

●

The Company’s future results may be affected by various legal and regulatory proceedings and legal compliance risks.

●

Our common stock price is volatile, which could result in substantial losses for individual shareholders.

The foregoing list of risks is not exclusive. For a more detailed discussion of the risk factors associated with our business, see the risks described in Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors,” in the 2020 Form 10-K. These and many other factors could affect the Company’s future operating results and financial condition and could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this document or elsewhere by the Company or on its behalf.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

Special Note Regarding Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are filing this report as a “smaller reporting company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result of being a smaller reporting company, we are allowed and have elected to omit certain information from this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; however, we have provided all information for the periods presented that we believe to be appropriate.

Where to find more information about us. We make available, free of charge, on our website (http://www.alphaprotech.com) our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, any Current Reports on Form 8-K furnished or filed since our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any amendments to such reports, as soon as reasonably practicable following the electronic filing of such reports with the SEC. In addition, in accordance with SEC rules, we provide paper copies of our filings free of charge upon request.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the periods reported. We base estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates are subject to uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The application of these accounting policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide timely and reliable financial information. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are more fully described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the 2020 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and do not bear interest. The general terms for receivables is net 30 days. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable; however, changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. The Company determines the allowance based upon historical write-off experience and known conditions about customers’ current ability to pay. Account balances are charged against the allowance when the potential for recovery is considered remote. For new customers with no order history with the Company we may require advance payments to reduce our credit risk.

Inventories: Inventories include freight-in, materials, labor and overhead costs and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Allowances are recorded for slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory. We assess our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory and write down the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future sales and supply on-hand, if necessary. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Leases: We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Our leases do not provide an implicit rate, and, therefore, we estimate our collateralized borrowing rate under similar terms based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future minimum lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. We do not record leases on our consolidated balance sheet with a term of one year or less. We elected a package of transition practical expedients, which included not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassessing the lease classification of expired or existing leases, and not reassessing initial direct costs for existing leases. We also elected a practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining our lease terms or assessing impairment of our ROU assets.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

Revenue Recognition: Net sales includes revenue from products and shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for product returns and any related sales incentives. Our customer contracts have a single performance obligation: transfer control of products to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring control of products. All revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligations under the applicable contract. We recognize revenue in connection with transferring control of the promised products to the customer, with revenue being recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the products, which is generally when title passes to the customer upon delivery to a third party carrier for FOB shipping point arrangements and to the customer for FOB destination arrangements, at which time a receivable is created for the invoice sent to the customer. Shipping and handling activities are performed prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods, and are accounted for as fulfillment activities and are not a promised good or service. Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs, associated with the distribution of the Company’s product to the customers, are recorded in cost of goods sold and are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which is at the time products are delivered to the third party carrier for FOB shipping point arrangements and to the customer for FOB destination arrangements. We estimate product returns based on historical return rates and estimate rebates based on contractual agreements. Using probability assessments, we estimate sales incentives expected to be paid over the term of the contract. Sales taxes and value added taxes in foreign and domestic jurisdictions that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net sales. The Company manufactures certain private label goods for customers and has determined that control does not pass to the customer at the time of manufacture, based upon the nature of the private labelling. The Company has determined that, as of June 30, 2021, it had no material contract assets, and concluded that its contract liabilities (primarily rebates) had the right of offset against customer receivables. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had contract liabilities of $103,000 as a result of customer advance payments of orders connected to the COVID-19 pandemic (see “Impact of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)” below).

Sales Returns, Rebates and Allowances: Sales are reduced for any anticipated sales returns, rebates and allowances based on historical experience. Since our return policy is only 90 days and our products are not generally susceptible to external factors such as technological obsolescence or significant changes in demand, we are able to make a reasonable estimate for returns. We offer end-user product specific and sales volume rebates to select distributors. Our rebates are based on actual sales and are accrued monthly.

Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock-based awards using Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to record compensation expense for the value of all outstanding and unvested share-based payments, including employee stock options and similar awards.

The fair values of stock option grants are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and are based on the following assumptions: expected stock price volatility based on historical data and management’s expectations of future volatility, risk-free interest rates from published sources, expected term based on historical data, and no dividend yield, as the Board of Directors currently has no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company accounts for option forfeitures as they occur. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are fully transferable. In addition, the option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility. Our stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value of such options.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

OVERVIEW

Alpha Pro Tech is in the business of protecting people, products and environments. We accomplish this by developing, manufacturing and marketing a line of high-value, disposable protective apparel products for the cleanroom, industrial, pharmaceutical, medical and dental markets. We also manufacture a line of building supply construction weatherization products. Our products are sold under the "Alpha Pro Tech" brand name, as well as under private label.

Our products are grouped into two business segments: the Building Supply segment, consisting of construction weatherization products, such as housewrap and synthetic roof underlayment as well as other woven material; and the Disposable Protective Apparel segment, consisting of disposable protective garments (including shoecovers, bouffant caps, coveralls, gowns, frocks and lab coats), face masks and face shields. All financial information presented in this report reflects the current segmentation.

Our target markets include pharmaceutical manufacturing, bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, lab animal research, high technology electronics manufacturing (which includes the semi-conductor market), medical and dental distributors, and construction, building supply and roofing distributors.

Our products are used primarily in cleanrooms, industrial safety manufacturing environments, health care facilities, such as hospitals, laboratories and dental offices, and building and re-roofing sites. Our products are distributed principally in the United States through a network consisting of purchasing groups, national distributors, local distributors, independent sales representatives and our own sales and marketing force.

Impact of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a significant surge in customer demand for our proprietary N-95 Particulate Respirator face mask product and other personal protective equipment (“PPE”) products as a result of COVID-19. We experienced a dramatic increase in revenue from sales of PPE products during the year of 2020, especially with respect to face masks, face shields and disposable protective garments, including shoecovers, coveralls, gowns, lab coats and bouffant caps.

In an effort to meet the unprecedented demand, and to aid communities around the world in responding to the ongoing healthcare crisis, the Company ramped up production during the first quarter of 2020 of our PPE products, in particular our N-95 face mask, which is manufactured by the Company in the United States. We addressed the growing customer demand for PPE products by increasing and improving the human, mechanical, and supply chain components behind production.

During 2020, we encountered a number of constraints within our supply chain due to government-mandated shutdowns, raw materials shortages and shipping delays. Although we worked to alleviate these supply chain issues by securing additional supply sources, in the event of subsequent shutdowns, shortages or delays, our production and sales could be further impacted. Further, prices of raw materials have increased and we expect they may continue to rise more rapidly in the current environment than our sales prices, which could decrease our profits.

We are continuing to serve our customers while taking every precaution to provide a safe work environment for our employees. We have enacted enhanced operating protocols to assure the safety and well-being of our employees, placed restrictions on non-essential travel, and otherwise adjusted work schedules to maximize our capacity while adhering to recommended precautions such as social distancing. We believe that we may have to take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of our employees or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. Although we will continue to adhere to restrictions imposed by local governments in the jurisdictions in which we operate, government regulations have impacted workforce availability and expense in certain of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, and we expect this to continue for some time.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

As detailed below under “Results of Operations,” we witnessed a softening in the demand for our N-95 particulate respirator face mask during the six months of 2021 and expect sales will decline to be more in-line with pre-pandemic levels in future periods. We expect growth in pre-pandemic demand for our disposable protective garments and continued growth in Building Supply segment products, although this demand could be negatively impacted if we experience a decrease in housing starts and increased uncertainty in the housing market and the economy in general.

The extent of the pandemic’s effect on our future operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic and new variants, including the Delta variant the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and the efficacy of mass vaccinations, and the resumption of widespread economic activity in certain sectors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any certainty the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

Management will continue to carefully monitor the current dynamic market conditions and work to respond to them swiftly and effectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to three months ended June 30, 2020

Sales. Consolidated sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased to $17,806,000, from $25,500,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, representing a decrease of $7,694,000, or 30.2%. This decrease consisted of decreased sales in the Disposable Protective Apparel segment of $10,040,000, partially offset by increased sales in the Building Supply segment of $2,346,000.

Disposable Protective Apparel Segment

Sales for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $10,040,000, or 55.6%, to $8,008,000, compared to $18,048,000 for the same period of 2020. This segment decrease was due to a 89.4% decrease in sales of face masks and a 93.2% decrease in face shields, partially offset by a 36.3% increase in sales of disposable protective garments. The decreases for face masks and face shields were primarily due to increased demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020. Management expects future sales of face mask and face shields to be more in-line with pre-pandemic levels in future periods.

Sales for the disposable protective garments in the second quarter of 2021 were a record and up a very strong 36.3%. This represents two consecutive quarters of record sales for disposable protective garments as the first quarter of 2021 was the previous record. This was due to strong open orders, generated largely in 2020 primarily from our major international channel partner. Open orders for the disposable protective garments are now more in line with pre-pandemic levels and sales in the coming quarters could be negatively affected as current inventory levels in the supply chain, primarily with our major international channel partner, are higher than historical. We are working closely with all our channel partners to uncover new end-customer sales opportunities.

The sales mix of the Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately 85% for disposable protective garments, 11% for face masks and 4% for face shields. This sales mix is compared to approximately 28% for disposable protective garments, 47% for face masks and 25% for face shields for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Building Supply Segment

Building Supply segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $2,346,000, or 31.5%, to $9,798,000, compared to $7,452,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Building Supply segment increase was primarily due to a 35.6% increase in sales of synthetic roof underlayment, a 29.1% increase in sales of housewrap and a 19.6% increase in sales of other woven material compared to the same period of 2020.

The sales mix of the Building Supply segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately 48% for synthetic roof underlayment, 43% for housewrap and 9% for other woven material. This compared to approximately 46% for synthetic roof underlayment, 44% for housewrap and 10% for other woven material for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our synthetic roof underlayment product line includes REX SynFelt®, REX TECHNOply® and TECHNO SB®, and our housewrap product line consists of REX Wrap®, REX Wrap® Plus and REX Wrap Fortis®.

Building Supply segment sales remained strong in the second quarter of 2021 bolstered by a stronger than expected demand for new home construction. The synthetic roof underlayment sales increase of 35.6% was attributed to both an increase in the growth of the brand coupled with demand from product shortages in the market. Our Housewrap family of products remained strong with a 29.1% increase, driven by the new home construction market.

Management is optimistic about continued growth in this segment as open orders for our synthetic roof underlay and housewrap remain very strong. As a result of our continued optimism, we have committed to increasing production capacity of this segment by investing approximately $4.0 million in new equipment, part of which is expected to be operational in the third and fourth quarters of 2021. As a result of a delay in the relevant supply chain, the final piece of equipment is now anticipated to arrive in the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2021 and is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2022.

Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to six months ended June 30, 2020

This decrease consisted of decreased sales in the Disposable Protective Apparel Segment of $5,817,000 and increased sales in the Building Supply segment of $3,130,000.

This segment decrease was due to a 50.0% decrease in sales of face masks, a 52.3% decrease in sales of face shields and a 38.4% increase in sales of disposable protective garments, all primarily due to customer demand associated with the pandemic.

The sales mix of the Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 59% for disposable protective garments, 29% for masks and 12% for shields.

Building Supply Segment

Building Supply segment sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $3,130,000, or 20.9%, to $18,138,000, compared to $15,008,000 for the same period of 2020. The Building Supply segment increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of synthetic roof underlayment of 33.6%, an increase in sales of housewrap of 16.5%, and a decrease in sales of other woven material of 3.8% compared to the same period of 2020. Synthetic roof underlayment sales increased as a result of increased sales of the Company’s TECHNO family of products. Synthetic roof underlayment and housewrap sales were positively affected during the six months ended June 30, 2021 by improved U.S. housing starts.

The sales mix of the Building Supply segment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 50% for synthetic roof underlayment, 42% for housewrap and 8% for other woven material.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $6,381,000, or 50.6%, to $6,232,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $12,613,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The gross profit margin was 35.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 49.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Gross profit decreased by $5,756,000, or 27.2%, to $15,411,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $21,167,000 for the same period of 2020. The gross profit margin was 37.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 48.5% for the same period of 2020.

Management believes that gross profit margin will be negatively affected in 2021 as a result of changes in product mix as the need for face masks and face shields, which have a higher gross profit margin than our other products, declines from the surge in customer demand in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, our portfolio of products, as well as a spectrum of industries worldwide, have been affected by increases in raw material costs, as well as significant increases in ocean freight and other transportation costs. In the current environment, cost increases may rise more rapidly than our sales prices, which could decrease gross profit.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $354,000, or 7.8%, to $4,199,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $4,553,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.6% three months ended June 30, 2021, up from 17.9% for the same period of 2020, primarily as a result of lower net sales.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and that we are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
