4.  BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share ("EPS") has been computed pursuant to the provisions of
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings
    Per Share".

    The following table provides a reconciliation of both the net income and the
    number of shares used in the computations of "basic" EPS, which utilizes the
    weighted average number of shares outstanding without regard to potential
    shares, and "diluted" EPS, which includes all such shares.

5.  PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX

    The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income
    Taxes". This statement requires an asset and liability approach for
    accounting for income taxes. At December 31, 1999 the Company had net
    operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $3,402,000. No provision
    (benefit) for income taxes has been recorded in the consolidated statements
    of operations as a result of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.
    Taxable income for the period ended June 30, 2000 was offset by the
    utilization of such NOL's. The Company will continue to assess the valuation
    allowance on a quarterly basis.

ITEM 7.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. ("Alpha" or the "Company") reported net income for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 of $342,000 as compared to net income of
$280,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, representing an improvement
of $62,000 or 22.1%. The net income increase of $62,000 is attributable
primarily to an increase in gross profit of $14,000, due to higher gross profit
margin, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $22,000, a
decrease in depreciation and amortization of $7,000, and a decrease in net
interest expense of $19,000. The year to date net income increase of $203,000 is
attributable primarily to an increase in gross profit of $171,000, a decrease in
depreciation and amortization of $13,000, and a decrease in net interest expense
of $72,000, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses of $53,000. Management expects record sales and net
income in 2000.


SALES Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
to $5,131,000 from $5,222,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
representing a decrease of $91,000 or 1.7%.

Net sales for the Apparel Division for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were
$3,352,000 as compared to $3,497,000 for the same period of 1999. The Apparel
Division sales decrease of $145,000 or 4.1% was due to decreased sales to the
Company's largest distributor. Sales to this distributor were weak in April
2000, however, the quarter finished with its strongest month ever. This
distributor has reported record second quarter 2000 sales to its customers of
the Company's products and has also reported sales increases of the Company's
products for eight consecutive quarters. Management's expectation is that growth
should continue, and as a result the Company's sales to this distributor should
also remain strong.

Mask and eye shield sales increased by $62,000 or 4.9% to $1,329,000 for the
second quarter of 2000 from $1,267,000 in the second quarter of 1999. This
increase is primarily the result of growth in dental mask sales, and to a lesser
extent medical mask sales, partially offset by a decline in industrial mask
sales. Medical mask sales for the month of June were the strongest in the past
twelve months.

Sales from the Company's Extended Care Unreal Lambskin(R) and other related
products, which includes a line of pet beds, decreased slightly by $8,000 or
1.7% to $450,000 in the second quarter of 2000 compared to $458,000 in the same
period in 1999. The slight decrease in sales of $8,000 is primarily the result
of decreased medical fleece sales partially offset by increased pet bed sales.
In 2000, the Company implemented a pet products telemarketing campaign and feels
that sales should strengthen in 2000 as a result.



                                       8
<PAGE>

Consolidated sales were $10,071,000 and $9,712,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 respectively, representing an increase of $359,000 or 3.7%.
Consolidated sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were adversely
affected by two factors. Firstly, in 2000, the Company's largest distributor
implemented a corporate wide inventory reduction that has led to a reduction of
inventory of the Company's products. This inventory reduction program appears to
have leveled off, as inventory levels have stayed fairly constant for the past
two months. Secondly, strong orders in the latter part of the second quarter
have led to an increase in open orders as compared to Dec 31,1999. Without these
two factors, consolidated sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 would
have been up by 13.0% as opposed to 3.7%.

Net sales for the Apparel Division for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
$6,206,000 as compared to $6,200,000 for the same period of 1999, a small
increase of $6,000. Even though the Company's sales for the Apparel Division are
flat to the prior year, the Company's largest distributor has had sales
increases to their end-users for eight consecutive quarters as well as a record
June and a record year to date. Allowing for the two factors as stated above,
net sales for the Apparel Division for the six months ended June 30, 2000 would
have been up significantly as opposed to the small increase of $6,000.

 Mask and eye shield sales increased by $384,000 or 16.0% to $2,779,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from $2,395,000 in the same period of 1999. The
increase is primarily the result of an improvement in industrial mask sales and
dental mask sales.

Sales from the Company's Extended Care Unreal Lambskin(R) and other related
products decreased by $31,000 or 2.9% to $1,086,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $1,117,000 in the same period in 1999. The decrease in
sales is the result of decreases in medical bed pad sales, partially offset by
increases in pet bed sales.




Management believes that the Company is well positioned to continue to grow
revenue in its current markets of Industrial Cleanroom, Medical, Dental and Pet
Supply, as well as the new Food Service market.

The Company's largest distributor, which supplies the industrial cleanroom
market, accounts for a significant percent of Company's revenues, has had sales
increases of the Company's products to their end-users for eight consecutive
quarters as well as a record June and record year to date. The expectation is
that growth should continue, and as a result the Company's sales to this
distributor should also remain strong.

The Medical market is down by $257,000 or 14.0% year to date but, with the
recent addition of independent sales representatives and the anticipated release
of a new product portfolio in third quarter, which should result in increased
sales over the next 12 months. Medical mask sales for the month of June were the
strongest month in the past year.

The Dental market is up by approximately $135,000 or 20% year to date. The
Company is in the process of initiating a telemarketing campaign to dentists and
is working with dental distributors to increase the Company's share of the
dental market.

The Pet supply market in which the Company markets a line of pet beds is up
$128,000 or 33.3% year to date. Since late last year, the Company has dedicated
a sales representative to this market and sales should continue to be strong.

In the Food Service market, the Company has signed a Vendor Supply Agreement
with McDonald's Corporation to market its line of proprietary Food Service
Safety Products to the McDonald's system, which includes more than 25,000
restaurants in 119 countries worldwide. Recently, McDonald's has rewarded both
the Company's marketing efforts and in-store performance by issuing an internal
mail correspondence, highlighting the Alpha Pro Tech Safety Program to over
3,000 owner groups and corporate centers, representing over 15,000 stores.
Additionally, Alpha has initiated a widespread telemarketing and sampling
campaign. In addition, the Company has undertaken a strategy to participate in
local and regional meetings throughout the US along with McDonald's Security,
Human Resources, and Field Service directors. The Company expects Food Service
sales to gain momentum and grow significantly over the next twelve months.

months ended June 30,2000 from $3,164,000 for the same period in 1999. As a
percentage of net sales for the second quarter, cost of goods sold decreased to
59.6% in 2000 from 60.6% in 1999. Gross profit margin increased to 40.4% for the

stronger than fiscal 1999, due to a continuing focus on improving manufacturing
processes and efficiency.

expenses decreased by $22,000 to $1,609,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from $1,631,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to
31.4% for second quarter 2000 from 31.2% for same quarter in 1999. The decrease
in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consists of decreased

$120,000; increased marketing and commissions of $24,000; increased travel
expenses of $19,000; and increased public company expenses of $34,000, including
investor relations, stock exchange listing fees, options/warrants issued for

$7,000 to $101,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $108,000 for
the same period in 1999 and decreased by $13,000 to $203,000 from $216,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 1999. The decrease is primarily
attributable to assets in the mask division being fully depreciated and
decreased depreciation on a shield die-cut machine partially offset by increased
depreciation on automated shoecover machines.

$362,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to income from

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


As of June 30, 2000, the Company had cash of $1,055,000 and working capital of
$5,306,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash increased by
$270,000 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $113,000. The
increase in the Company's cash is primarily due to net income, the exercise of
options and an increase in borrowings from its commercial lender, partially
offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory. The Company currently
has a commercial loan line of credit of up to $3,500,000 and a term note of
$212,000 that expires in April 2003. At June 30, 2000, the unused line of credit
from its commercial lender was $1,251,000.


Net cash provided from operations was $328,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to net cash provided from operations of $479,000 for the same
period of 1999. The Company's cash provided from operations of $328,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 is due primarily to the increase in net income
and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by an
increase in accounts receivable, inventory, and a decrease accounts payable and
accrued liabilities.


The Company's investing activities have consisted primarily of expenditures for
fixed assets of $224,000 and increases in intangible assets of $14,000 for a
total of $238,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.


The Company anticipates that its mask manufacturing capabilities are to be
further improved in 2000 at an estimated cost of $200,000. Based on strong
continuing demand for shoecovers and laminated material, the Company is in the
process of spending approximately $300,000 to build an extrusion coating
machine. Within the next twelve months, the Company also expects to spend
approximately $200,000 on additional automated shoecover equipment. The Company
leases equipment whenever possible.


During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's cash provided by
financing resulted primarily from net increases in the commercial loan of
$203,000 and proceeds of $212,000 from the exercise of options to purchase
236,667 shares of the Company's common shares, partially offset by a buy-back of
76,000 of the Company's common shares at a cost of $177,000 and a decrease in
capital leases of $59,000. The Company announced in December 2000 that it was
authorized to buy-back up to $500,000 of its own shares. As of June 30, 2000,
the Company has bought back 108,500 common shares at a cost of $201,000.


The Company believes that cash generated from operations, its current cash
balance, and the funds available under its commercial loan borrowings, will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's projected working capital and planned
capital expenditures for at least 12 months.
