Nogales, Arizona — February 15, 2007, Alpha Pro Tech (AMEX: APT) a leading manufacturer of products designed to protect people, products and environments, including disposable protective apparel and building products, today announced preliminary, unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full-year period. The Company expects to announce its audited results in March.

For the fourth quarter, the Company expects to report an increase in revenue of approximately 50% to $10.5 million compared to the $7.0 million reported for the fourth quarter last year.  Growth was driven by the Disposable Protective Apparel segment, Engineered Products segment and the Infection Control segment.  The Company expects to report approximately $0.04 fully diluted earnings per share compared to the $0.01 reported for the fourth quarter last year.

For the full-year period, management expects to report an increase in revenue of approximately 20% to $37.3 million compared to the $31.1 million for 2005 and expects fully diluted earnings per share to increase to $0.15 compared to the $0.10 reported last year.

Al Millar, President of Alpha Pro Tech, commented, “We had a strong year reporting growth in our Engineered products and infection control segments, while introducing two new lines of disposable protective apparel to set the stage for future expansion. In addition, last fall we renegotiated and extended our contract with our largest Apparel distributor without an exclusive agreement, allowing us to gain additional market share with other distributors which will help accelerate the apparel segment growth in future quarters. In our Engineered products segment we received in January 2007 the highly coveted International Code Council (ICC-ES) approval for our synthetic roof underlayment.  This segment of our business, in just its second year, has emerged as the leading growth driver and we believe we are well-positioned to build on this positive trend in 2007.”

Mr. Millar continued, “We recently introduced at the International Builders show a new and enhanced version of our synthetic roof underlayment under the name of REX SynFelt.  We believe this branded

product will be well received by the industry, and its success will enhance the reputation and market positioning of Alpha Pro Tech.  In addition, we have mutually agreed with our building products distributor to move forward on a non-exclusive basis to broaden our market opportunities for our REX SynFelt roof underlayment and our house wrap products.  We believe that this will allow us more opportunities to significantly increase our market share of building products.”

Management is disclosing this preliminary earnings outlook and 2007 corporate initiatives to provide the opportunity to discuss the Company’s financial results and future plans at the upcoming Roth Capital conference and is not setting a precedent for preannouncements in future quarters.
