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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. ("Alpha" or the "Company") reported quarterly net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 of $362,000 as compared to $101,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, representing an increase of $261,000 or 258.4%. The increase is attributable to an increase in income before provision for income taxes of $397,000, partially offset by an increase in income taxes of $136,000.

Sales Consolidated sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 decreased slightly to $5,013,000 from $5,069,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, representing a decrease of $56,000 or 1.1%. The Company attributes the lower sales primarily to the continued slowdown in the Semiconductor clean room market.

Apparel sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $3,425,000 as compared to $3,498,000 for the same period of 2001. The Apparel sales decrease of $73,000 or 2.1% was due primarily to decreased sales to the Company's largest Industrial Safety/Clean Room distributor, partially offset by increased sales to the Pharmaceutical market. Sales are down primarily due to the continued weakness in the Semiconductor clean room market. The Company continues to expect a slow recovery over the next several months in the Semiconductor clean room market. The Pharmaceutical market has been expanding, and as a result, management expects continued growth in this market segment.

Mask and eye shield sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were flat at $1,160,000 as compared to the same period in 2001. This is primarily the result of an increase in shield sales and an increase in medical and dental masks, partially offset by a decline in industrial mask sales.

Sales from the Company's Extended Care Unreal Lambskin® and other related products, which includes a line of pet beds, increased by $17,000 or 4.1% to $428,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $411,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase in sales is primarily the result of an increase in pet bed sales, partially offset by a decrease in medical fleece products.

Consolidated sales were $16,021,000 and $16,508,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively, representing a decrease of $487,000 or 3.0%.

Apparel sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $10,990,000 as compared to $11,267,000 for the same period of 2001, a decrease of $277,000 or 2.5%. The Company's largest distributor has reported lower year to date sales of the Company's products to their end-users, due to the slowdown in the Semiconductor clean room market.

Mask and eye shield sales decreased by $159,000 or 4.2% to $3,641,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $3,800,000 in the same period of 2001. The decrease is primarily due to lower industrial mask sales, partially offset by increased medical and dental mask sales and shield sales.

Sales from the Company's Extended Care Unreal Lambskin® and other related products decreased by $51,000 or 3.5% to $1,390,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $1,441,000 in the same period in 2001. The decrease in sales is the result of a decrease in medical bed pad sales, partially offset by an increase in sales of pet bed products.

The Medical market, which includes a line of facemasks, eye shield and fleece bed pads, decreased by 8.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Sales from the medical market decrease by 9.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The Medical market, which comprises approximately 15% of the Company's revenue, is not considered a high growth area for the Company.

Dental market sales increased by 9.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The dental market increased by 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Management believes that revenue in this market, which comprises approximately 8% of the Company's revenue, will continue to strengthen due to the hiring of a dedicated dental sales representative.

In the Food Service market, sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $43,000 compared to $93,000 in the same period of 2001, representing a decrease of $50,000 or 53.8%. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $213,000 compared to $179,000 in the same period of 2001, representing an increase of $34,000 or 19.0%. In January 2002, the Company announced a new distribution agreement with a food service distributor to sell and distribute Alpha Pro Tech's line of personal safety products starting in February 2002. The Company expects modest growth in this market in 2002 and stronger growth over the long term.

Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased to $2,480,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $2,924,000 for the same period in 2001 Gross profit margin increased to 50.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from 42.3% for the same period in 2001, due to an increase in the amount of products being manufactured in China. Management expects that its gross profit margin should continue to be strong for the remainder of 2002.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 2001, cost of goods sold decreased to $7,992,000 from $9,451,000. Gross profit margin increased to 50.1% from 42.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, due to an increase in the amount of products being manufactured in China.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly by $4,000 or 0.2% to $1,869,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $1,865,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to 37.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from 36.8% for the same period in 2001. The slight increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consists of increased professional fees and public company expenses of $79,000; partially offset by decreased travel, marketing and commission expenses of $32,000; decreased general office, telecommunication and factory indirect expenses of $30,000, and decreased rent and utilities of $15,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $187,000 or 3.3%, to $5,478,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $5,665,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to 34.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 34.3% in the same period of 2001. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consists of decreased payroll related costs of $117,000; decreased travel, marketing and commission expenses of $142,000 and decreased general office expenses of $97,000; partially offset by increased rent and utilities of $37,000 and increased professional fees and public company expenses of $135,000.

Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $9,000 to $112,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $121,000 for the same period in 2001 and decreased by $28,000 to $330,000 from $358,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which eliminated the need to amortize goodwill effective January 1, 2002.

Income from Operations Income from operations increased by $393,000 or 247.2%, to $552,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to income from operations of $159,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase in income from operations is due to an increase in gross profit of $388,000 and a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $9,000; partially offset by a slight increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $4,000,

Income from operations increased by $1,187,000 or 114.8% to $2,221,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to income from operations of $1,034,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Net Interest Net interest expense decreased by $4,000 to $10,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from net interest expense of $14,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 primarily due to lower interest rates and lower borrowings. Net interest expense increased by $15,000 to $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $14,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net interest expense is primarily due to decreased interest income. Interest income decreased by $15,000 to $12,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $27,000 in the same period of 2001 due to an overall decrease in interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had cash of $2,243,000 and working capital of $7,184,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, cash increased by $871,000 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $711,000. The increase in the Company's cash is due primarily to a decrease in accounts receivable, increased net income, partially offset by an increase in inventories, the purchase of property and equipment, net payments on notes payable and the repurchase of common stock.

The Company has a $4,301,000 credit facility with a bank, consisting of a line of credit of up to $3,500,000, a term note of $225,000 and equipment loans of $576,000, with interest at prime plus 0.5% on the credit line, prime plus 1.0% on the term loan and an 8.5% fixed rate on the equipment loans. At September 30, 2002, the prime interest rate was 4.75%. The line of credit expires in May 2004, the term note expires in April 2003 and the equipment loans expire between December 2005 and September 2006. At September 30, 2002, the Company's unused portion of the line of credit is $2,380,000.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,961,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $403,000 for the same period of 2001. The increase in Company's generation of cash by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 is primarily due to an increase in net income, a decrease in accounts receivable, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a smaller increase in inventories, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.

The Company's investing activities consisted primarily of expenditures for property and equipment and intangible assets, for a total of $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $1,086,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

The Company expects to purchase approximately an additional $50,000 of equipment in 2002.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from payments on the Company's notes payable of $737,000, offset by proceeds from notes payable of $241,000 and from payments of $443,000 for the repurchase of common stock.

In April 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the buy-back of up to an additional $500,000 of the Company's outstanding common stock. Previously the Company had repurchased 877,900 common shares at a cost of $1,036,000. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has bought back a total of 1,383,400 common shares at a cost of $1,479,000, which includes 505,500 common shares at a cost of $443,000 on the most recently approved buy back.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations, its current cash balance, and the funds available under its credit facility, will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's projected working capital and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
