2. Basis of Presentation

The interim financial information included herein 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. 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 necessary to present the statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s current year SEC filings on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, as well as the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2015 Form 10-K”), which was filed on March 3, 2016. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reported in this 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, 2015 was prepared using information from the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the 2015 Form 10-K, and does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains a stock option plan under which the Company may grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors. 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.

The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of stock-based awards determined as of the grant date, including employee stock options.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, 810,000 stock options were granted under the Company’s option plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, no stock options were granted under the Company’s option plan. The Company recognized $34,000 and $11,000 in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the vesting of previously issued options.

Stock options to purchase 1,035,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2016, and stock options to purchase 225,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2015.

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 life of the options. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the 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 following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

			Weighted
			Average
			Exercise Price
	Shares		Per Option
Options outstanding, December 31, 2015		225,000	$	1.52
Granted to employees and non-employee directors		810,000		2.12
Exercised		-		-
Canceled/expired/forfeited		-		-
Options outstanding, June 30, 2016		1,035,000		1.99
Options exercisable, June 30, 2016		65,000		1.43

As of June 30, 2016, $883,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.89 years.

4. Investments

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, investments totaled $574,000 and $656,000 respectively, which consisted of marketable securities.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, a company should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation, instead of at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption being permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718),which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including immediate recognition of all excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement, changing the threshold to qualify for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax rates, allowing an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and clarifying the classification on the statement of cash flows for the excess tax benefit and employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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

	$	12,656,000	$	16,398,000

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 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% by Alpha ProTech Engineered Products, Inc. and 58.34% 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 five facilities in India (three owned and two rented), consisting of: (1) a 102,000 square foot building for manufacturing building products; (2) a 71,500 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; (4) a 12,000 square foot rented facility for coating material; and (5) a 93,000 square foot rented facility for the manufacturing of building products. All additions have been financed by Harmony with no guarantees from the Company.

The Company assesses whether or not related entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For those related entities that qualify as VIEs, the Company determines whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and, if so, the Company will 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 income. The Company periodically reviews its investment in Harmony for impairment. Management has determined that no impairment was required as of June 30, 2016.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Alpha Pro Tech purchased $3,107,000 and $5,420,000 of inventories, respectively, from Harmony. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Alpha Pro Tech purchased $5,930,000 and $8,477,000 of inventories, respectively, from Harmony.

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.

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 relating to potential acquisitions 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. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral and whether made by us or on our behalf, are expressly qualified by this special note.

Any expectations based on these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. 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.

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 Internet 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, in accordance with SEC rules, we provide electronic or paper copies of our filings free of charge upon request.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US 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 reported periods. We base estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The application of these accounting policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide timely and reliable financial information. Our critical accounting policies include the following:

Marketable Securities: The Company periodically invests a portion of its cash in excess of short-term operating needs in marketable equity securities. These investments are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with US GAAP. The Company does not have any investments classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities. Available-for-sale investments are carried at their fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses, and declines in value deemed to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale investments, are recognized in earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Investments that the Company intends to hold for more than one year are classified as long-term investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Inventories: Inventories include freight-in, materials, labor and overhead costs and are stated at the lower of cost or market 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 market value based upon assumptions about future sales and quantities on hand, if necessary. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and do not bear interest. 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 management determines that the potential for recovery is remote.

Revenue Recognition: For sales transactions, we comply with the provisions of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when all of the following revenue recognition criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) title transfers and the customer assumes the risk of loss; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are satisfied upon shipment of product, and sales are recognized accordingly.

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:We record compensation expense for the fair value of stock-based awards determined on the date of grant, including employee stock options.

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 life based on historical data and no dividend yield, as the Board of Directors has no current plans to pay dividends in the near future. 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. 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.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2015

Sales. Consolidated sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased to $12,708,000 from $12,095,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, representing an increase of $613,000, or 5.1%. This increase consisted of increased sales in the Building Supply segment of $851,000, partially offset by decreased sales in the Disposable Protective Apparel segment of $213,000 and decreased sales in the Infection Control segment of $25,000.

Building Supply segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $851,000, or 12.0%, to a second quarter record of $7,924,000, compared to $7,073,000 for the same period in 2015. This segment increase was primarily due to a 9.6% increase in sales of synthetic roof underlayment (including REX™, TECHNOply™ and our new TECHNO SB), a 6.1% increase in sales of housewrap and a 29.3% increase in sales of other woven material. The sales mix of the Building Supply segment for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 63% for synthetic roof underlayment, 32% for housewrap and 5% for other woven material. This compared to 63% for synthetic roof underlayment, 33% for housewrap and 4% for other woven material for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Management expects that the Building Supply segment should continue to experience low double digit growth for all of 2016.

Sales for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $213,000, or 5.6%, to $3,624,000, compared to $3,837,000 for the same period of 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales to distributors who supply disposable shoecovers to companies that require entry into residential homes, as a result of a warmer and dryer than normal spring. Overall, sales to our major international supply chain partner and other national and regional distributors were basically flat for the quarter.

Infection Control segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $25,000, or 2.1%, to $1,160,000, compared to $1,185,000 for the same period of 2015. Mask sales were down by 7.9%, or $66,000, to $769,000 and shield sales were up by 11.7%, or $41,000, to $391,000.

Consolidated sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased to a first half of the year record of $24,555,000 from $22,749,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing an increase of $1,806,000, or 7.9%. This increase was due to increased sales in the Building Supply segment of $1,795,000 and increased sales in the Infection Control segment of $48,000, partially offset by slightly decreased sales in the Disposable Protective Apparel segment of $37,000.

Building Supply segment sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $1,795,000, or 13.9%, to a first half of the year record of $14,679,000, compared to $12,884,000 for the same period of 2015. This segment increase was primarily due to a 10.5% increase in sales of housewrap, a 13.2% increase in sales of synthetic roof underlayment (including REX™, TECHNOply™ and our new TECHNO SB) and a 15.1% increase in sales of other woven material. The sales mix of the Building Supply segment for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 63% for synthetic roof underlayment, 32% for housewrap and 5% for other woven material.

Sales for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $37,000, or 0.5%, to $7,448,000, compared to $7,485,000 for the same period of 2015. The slight decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales to one non-strategic national distributor, partially offset by an increase in sales to our major international supply chain partner and other national and regional distributors.

Infection Control segment sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $48,000, or 2.0%, to $2,428,000, compared to $2,380,000 for the same period of 2015. Shield sales were up by 18.1%, or $114,000, to $744,000, and mask sales were down by 3.8%, or $66,000, to $1,684,000.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $624,000, or 15.9%, to $4,540,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $3,916,000 for the same period of 2015. The gross profit margin was 35.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 32.4% for the same period of 2015.

Gross profit increased by $1,044,000, or 13.5%, to $8,785,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, from $7,741,000 for the same period of 2015. The gross profit margin was 35.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 34.0% for the same period of 2015.

Management expects gross profit margin to be in a similar range for the balance of 2016 and is continuing to work on reducing product costs.

The decrease for the six months was primarily attributable to decreased depreciation for machinery and equipment in the Infection Control segment, partially offset by an increase in depreciation of Building Supply segment machinery and equipment.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by $843,000, or 342.7%, to $1,089,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $246,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $386,000, compared to $89,000 for the same period of 2015. The estimated effective tax rate was 32.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 23.6% for the same period of 2015.

As of June 30, 2016, we had cash of $10,588,000 and working capital of $30,307,000, representing a decrease in working capital of 2.0%, or $619,000, from December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, our current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) was 16:1, compared to a 15:1 current ratio as of December 31, 2015. Cash increased by 9.4%, or $907,000, to $10,588,000 as of June 30, 2016, compared to $9,681,000 as of December 31, 2015. The increase in cash was due to cash provided by operating activities of $2,862,000, offset by cash used in investing activities of $204,000 and cash used in financing activities of $1,751,000.

We have a $3,500,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, consisting of a line of credit with interest at prime plus 0.5%. As of June 30, 2016, the prime interest rate was 3.5%. This credit line was renewed in May 2016 and expires in May 2018. The available line of credit is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. Our borrowing capacity on the line of credit was $3,500,000 as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we did not have any borrowings under this credit facility and do not anticipate using it in the near future.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $2,862,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was due to net income of $1,304,000, adjusted primarily by the following: stock-based compensation expense of $34,000, depreciation and amortization of $271,000, equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate of $191,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $2,345,000, a decrease in inventory of $3,742,000, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $150,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $103,000.

Accounts receivable increased by $2,345,000, or 84.7%, to $5,115,000 as of June 30, 2016 from $2,770,000 as of December 31, 2015. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily related to increased revenue in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The number of days that sales remained outstanding as of June 30, 2016, calculated by using an average of accounts receivable outstanding, was 29 days, compared to 39 days as of December 31, 2015.

Inventory decreased by $3,742,000, or 22.8%, to $12,656,000 as of June 30, 2016, from $16,398,000 as of December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in inventory for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment of $1,005,000, or 17.4%, to $4,764,000, a decrease in inventory for the Building Supply segment of $2,450,000, or 31.3%, to $5,374,000, and a decrease in inventory for the Infection Control segment of $287,000, or 10.2%, to $2,518,000.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $150,000, or 4.9%, to $2,942,000 as of June 30, 2016 from $3,092,000 as of December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in deposits for the purchase of inventory.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2016 decreased by $103,000, or 4.8%, to $2,052,000, from $2,155,000 as of December 31, 2015. The change was due to a decrease in accrued liabilities of $41,000, and a decrease in trade payables of $62,000. The decrease in trade payables was primarily due to a decrease in inventory purchases.

Net cash used in investing activities was $204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $121,000 for the same period of 2015. Our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of the purchase of property and equipment of $163,000 and the purchase of marketable securities of $41,000. Our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of the purchase of property and equipment of $106,000 and the purchase of marketable securities of $15,000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,751,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $250,000 for the same period of 2015. The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was due to the payment of $1,751,000 for the repurchase of shares of our common stock. The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the payment of $968,000 for the repurchase of shares of our common stock, partially offset by the proceeds of $718,000 from the exercise of stock options.

As of June 30, 2016, we had $1,527,000 available for additional stock purchases under our stock repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 890,100 shares of common stock at a cost of $1,751,000. As of June 30, 2016, we had repurchased a total of 13,407,731 shares of common stock at a cost of $19,994,000 through our repurchase program. We retire all stock upon its repurchase. Future repurchases are expected to be funded from cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities.

We believe that our current cash balance and the funds available under our credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our projected working capital and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, a company should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation, instead of at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption being permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718),which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including immediate recognition of all excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement, changing the threshold to qualify for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax rates, allowing an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and clarifying the classification on the statement of cash flows for the excess tax benefit and employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information otherwise required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officers) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2016, pursuant to the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that we have designed to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information that we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act.

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 as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter to which this report relates, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains a stock option plan under which the Company may grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors. 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.

The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of stock-based awards determined as of the grant date, including employee stock options.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, 810,000 stock options were granted under the Company’s option plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, no stock options were granted under the Company’s option plan. The Company recognized $34,000 and $11,000 in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the vesting of previously issued options.

Stock options to purchase 1,035,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2016, and stock options to purchase 225,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2015.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate the life of the options. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the 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 following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

			Weighted
			Average
			Exercise Price
	Shares		Per Option
Options outstanding, December 31, 2015		225,000	$	1.52
Granted to employees and non-employee directors		810,000		2.12
Exercised		-		-

Options outstanding, June 30, 2016		1,035,000		1.99

As of June 30, 2016, $883,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.89 years.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

(Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330):

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory

(“ASU 2015-11”), applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, a company should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation, instead of at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,

Income Taxes

(Topic 740

): Balance Sheet Classification

of Deferred Taxes

, which requires deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption being permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,

Leases

(Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,

Compensation – Stock Compensation

(Topic 718),which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including immediate recognition of all excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement, changing the threshold to qualify for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax rates, allowing an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and clarifying the classification on the statement of cash flows for the excess tax benefit and employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block]

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 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% by Alpha ProTech Engineered Products, Inc. and 58.34% 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 five facilities in India (three owned and two rented), consisting of: (1) a 102,000 square foot building for manufacturing building products; (2) a 71,500 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; (4) a 12,000 square foot rented facility for coating material; and (5) a 93,000 square foot rented facility for the manufacturing of building products. All additions have been financed by Harmony with no guarantees from the Company.

The Company assesses whether or not related entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For those related entities that qualify as VIEs, the Company determines whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and, if so, the Company will 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 income. The Company periodically reviews its investment in Harmony for impairment. Management has determined that no impairment was required as of June 30, 2016.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Alpha Pro Tech purchased $3,107,000 and $5,420,000 of inventories, respectively, from Harmony. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Alpha Pro Tech purchased $5,930,000 and $8,477,000 of inventories, respectively, from Harmony.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate of $93,000 and $117,000, respectively, related to Harmony. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate of $191,000 and $215,000, respectively, related to Harmony.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s investment in Harmony was $3,231,000, which consisted of its original $1,450,000 investment and cumulative equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate of $2,800,000, less $942,000 in repayments of the advance and $77,000 in dividends.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The interim financial information included herein 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. 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 necessary to present the statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s current year SEC filings on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, as well as the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2015 Form 10-K”), which was filed on March 3, 2016. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reported in this 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, 2015 was prepared using information from the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the 2015 Form 10-K, and does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

(Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330):

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory

(“ASU 2015-11”), applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, a company should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation, instead of at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Management is evaluating the provisions of this update and has not determined the impact that its adoption will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,

Income Taxes

(Topic 740

): Balance Sheet Classification

of Deferred Taxes

, which requires deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption being permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,

Leases

(Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,

Compensation – Stock Compensation

(Topic 718),which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including immediate recognition of all excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement, changing the threshold to qualify for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax rates, allowing an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and clarifying the classification on the statement of cash flows for the excess tax benefit and employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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