5 Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Basic and Diluted Net Income per share The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 is effective for fiscal periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires restatement of all prior-period earnings per share (EPS) data presented.

Provision for Income Tax The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This statement requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. At June 30, 1998 the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $8,600,000. NOL's can be carried forward up to 15 years and are available to offset future taxable income. The Company's NOL's expire in the years 2005 through 2015. 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. ("Alpha" or the "Company") reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 of $91,000 as compared to net income of $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 representing an improvement of $77,000 or 550.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 net income rose to $174,000 from $81,000 for the same period in 1997, representing an increase of 114.8%. Sales Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $4,701,000 from $4,491,000 in 1997, representing an increase of $210,000 or 4.7%. Net sales for the Apparel Division for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $3,192,000 as compared to $2,584,000 for the same period of 1997. The Apparel Division sales increase of $608,000 or 23.5% was primarily due to increased sales to the Company's largest distributor. Mask and eye shield sales decreased by $194,000 or 15.4%, to $1,066,000 for the second quarter of 1998 from $1,260,000 in the second quarter of 1997. Sales of these products should strengthen in the second half of 1998 with the introduction of a new line of masks and shields. Sales from the Company's Extended Care Unreal Lambskin(R) and other related products which includes a line of pet beds decreased by $204,000 or 31.5%, to $443,000 in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $647,000 in the same period in 1997. The decrease in sales is primarily a result of the discontinuation of a low margin rolled goods line. Consolidated sales were $9,443,000 and $8,476,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively, representing an increase of $967,000 or 11.4%. The increase is attributable to an increase in apparel sales of 30.6% offset by a decrease in mask and shield products of 12.0% and a decrease in Unreal Lambskin of 19.2%. Alpha has recently restructured its business around a new strategy of innovation that will enable it to develop custom products to meet its customers needs in a very timely manner. This new approach is to satisfy customer requirements in a way that the Company's larger competitors are unable to match. The Company has a profit sharing agreement with its largest distributor. Goods shipped at cost to this distributor are to fill orders already received from the distributor's end users. Revenue for goods shipped to this distributor which includes goods shipped at cost as well as the Company's share of the profits, are recognized at the time the goods are shipped. 7 Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold increased to $2,884,000 for the three months ended June 30,1998 from $2,772,000 for the same period in 1997. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 61.3% in 1998 from 61.7% in 1997. Gross profit margin increased to 38.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from 38.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 1997, cost of goods sold increased to $5,730,000 from $5,217,000. As a percentage of net sales for the six months, cost of goods sold decreased to 60.7% from 61.6%. Gross profit margin increased to 39.3% from 38.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The improvement in gross profit is a result of the Company's new strategic emphasis of developing innovative high gross profit products, especially for its largest customer, and also on improved manufacturing efficiency as a result of recent capital expenditures. Management expects gross profit margin to continue to remain strong through its strategic emphasis of developing innovative products and processes but there can be no assurance that these margin improvements will be sustained. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by a modest $14,000 to $1,575,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $1,561,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 33.5% in the three months ended June 30,1998 from 34.8% in the same period of 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consists of increased payroll related costs of $36,000; increased marketing, commissions and travel expenses of $14,000; decreased public company expenses of $68,000 including investor relations, options/warrants issued for services; stock transfer costs, and costs associated with SEC reporting requirements; and increased general office, telecommunication and factory expenses of $23,000. Management expects selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales to continue to decrease as sales increase. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $353,000 to $3,236,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $2,883,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to 34.3% in the six months ended June 30,1998 from 34.0% in the same period of 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is due to increased payroll related costs of $149,000; increased marketing, commissions and travel expenses of $118,000; decreased public company expenses of $26,000 including investor relations, options/warrants issued for services; stock transfer costs, and costs associated with SEC reporting requirements; and increased general office, telecommunication and factory expenses of $66,000. 8 The $149,000 increase in payroll related costs, is primarily comprised of a $24,000 decrease in administrative salaries and a $179,000 increase in factory indirect expenses of which $159,000 is attributable to the Apparel Division which had an increase in sales of 30.6%. As a percentage of Apparel Division sales, payroll costs for the Apparel Division increased to 12.5% for the first six months of 1998 as compared to 12.8% for the first six months of 1997. Marketing, commissions and travel expenses, which increased $118,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997, increased as a percentage of net sales to 6.5% from 5.8%. These expenses are as a result of additional focus being placed on customers other than the Company's largest customer. Depreciation & Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $22,000 to $100,000 for the three months June 30, 1998 from $78,000 for the same period in 1997 and increased by $50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the purchase of equipment. Net Interest Interest expense decreased by $15,000 or 22.7%, to $51,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $66,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Interest expense decreased by $42,000, or 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 1997. The decrease in net interest expense is due to a decrease in the cost of capital partially offset by increases in interest on additional capital leases acquired. In December 1997, the Company entered into a new three-year $2,900,000 credit facility with an asset-based lender at prime plus 2%. Alpha's previous credit facility was at prime plus 5%. Income from Operations Income from operations increased by $62,000 to $142,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $80,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in income from operations is primarily due to an increase of gross profit of $98,000 offset by a small increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $14,000 and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $22,000. Income from operations increased by $51,000 to $279,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $228,000 for the same period in 1997. The increased income from operations for the six months is due to an increase in gross profit of $454,000 offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $353,000 and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $50,000. 9 Net Income Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $91,000 compared to a net income of $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an improvement of $77,000 or 550.0%. The net income increase of $77,000 is comprised of an increase in income from operations of $62,000 and a decrease in interest expense of $15,000. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $174,000 compared to a net income of $81,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an improvement of $93,000 or 114.8%. The net income increase for the six months of $93,000 is comprised of an increase in income from operations of $51,000 and a decrease in interest expense of $42,000. The Company does not have any pension, profit sharing or similar plans established for its employees, however, the chief executive officer and president are entitled to a combined bonus equal to 10% of the pre-tax profits of the Company. No bonus was earned in 1997. 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash of $111,000 and working capital of $3,682,000. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, cash decreased by $379,000 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $753,000. The Company currently has a secured asset based lender's line of credit of $2,900,000, based upon the level of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and equipment which expires in December 2000. At June 30, 1998, the maximum line of credit was $2,336,000 for accounts receivable, inventory and equipment of which $1,105,000 remained available. Net cash provided for operations was $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to net cash used for operations of $1,466,000 for the same period of 1997. The Company's generation of cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is due primarily to net income before depreciation and amortization and a decrease in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid and other assets offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company's investing activities have consisted primarily of expenditures for fixed assets and intangible assets of $252,000 offset by $4,000 for the sale of marketable securities for a total of $248,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company anticipates that its mask manufacturing capabilities are to be improved based on customer demands at an estimated cost of $225,000. Depending on the success of the automated shoe cover approximately $350,000 of additional equipment could be required. The Company intends to lease equipment whenever possible. During the six months ended June 30,1998, the Company's financing activities consisted primarily of decreases in the asset based loan of $140,000 and capital leases of $13,000 resulting in the net cash used by financing activities of $153,000. Management believes that it has available cash and borrowings to finance all known financial commitments for at least 12 months. 11 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual and quarterly financial statements. SFAS No. 131 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 131 on its financial statements. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal use", which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and established standards for the way that public business enterprises account for the costs of internal use computer software. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SOP 98-1 on its financial statements. CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("Act) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking information made on behalf of the Company. All statements, other than statements of historical facts which address the Company's expectations of sources of capital or which express the Company's expectation for the future with respect to financial performance or operating strategies can be identified as forward-looking statements. Such statements made by the Company are based on knowledge of the environment in which it operates, but because of the factors previously listed, as well as other factors beyond the control of the Company, actual results may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. 12 Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.
