quarter 2010 consolidated revenue decreased 22.9%, to $11.2 million, from $14.5

increased by $4.8 million, or 36.4%, to $17.9 million as of June 30, 2010,

from $13.1 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase

in inventory for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment to strengthen our

position in the marketplace, an increase in inventory in the Infection Control

sales for the second quarter of 2010 decreased by $3.3 million, or 22.9%, to

$11.2 million, from $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. Sales for the Disposable Protective Apparel

segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $1.2

million, or 20.3%, to $4.8 million, compared to $6.1 million for the same

period of 2009. Building Supply segment

sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased by $1.1 million,

or 29.4%, to $4.9 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period of

2009. Building Supply segment sales were the second

highest on record exceeded only by sales in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in Building Supply segment sales

was primarily due to a 24.0% increase in sales of REX SynFelt synthetic roof

underlayment and a 45.9% increase in sales of REX Wrap housewrap, as compared

to the second quarter of 2009. The sales

mix of the Building Supply segment for the three months ended June 30,

2010 was 68% for synthetic roof underlayment and 32% for housewrap. This compared to 71% for synthetic roof

underlayment and 29% for housewrap for the second quarter of 2009. Infection Control segment sales for the three

million, and shield sales were down by 72.6%, to $0.3 million.

Millar, President of Alpha Pro Tech, commented, The decrease in sales in the

Disposable Protective Apparel segment was partially due to a decline in sales

of disposable shoecovers to our former largest distributor. We have and continue to expect to sell our

apparel line to this distributor, excluding shoe and bootcovers. This decrease was partially offset by

increased sales to a broad base of our distribution network and, in particular,

to a major national distributor. Sales

to this national distributor increased over two and a half times in the second

quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009.

continued, During the second quarter, we increased our Building Supply segment

sales team in anticipation of significant growth in the coming periods. Discussions with potential and existing

distributors have been very encouraging.

In addition to growth opportunities with existing products, we are also

excited about the launch of a breathable housewrap in the third quarter of 2010

that should increase our potential market share. We are very optimistic about the future of

concluded, The decrease in mask sales was primarily attributable to a decrease

in demand for our N-95 respirator mask sales relating to the global H1N1

Influenza A pandemic in 2009. Shield

sales were down in the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to the final

shipments of a $1.7 million non-recurring shield order received in the fourth

quarter of 2008. That order was shipped

out over a period of three quarters and commenced shipping in the fourth

quarter of 2008. General shield sales

also decreased in the second quarter of 2010, partially related to the H1N1

Influenza A pandemic of 2009.

sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $1.0 million, or

4.3%, to $22.9 million, from $23.9 million for the six months ended June 30,

2009. This decrease resulted from decreased sales of Infection Control and

Disposable Protective Apparel products, offset by increased sales of Building

Supply products. Sales for the

Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the six months ended June 30,

2010 decreased by $1.0 million, or 9.0%, to $9.9 million, compared to $10.9

million for the same period of 2009. The decrease was primarily due to

decreased sales of disposable shoecovers to the Company s former largest

distributor, partially offset by increased sales of our Disposable Protective

Apparel products to a broader based distribution network and, in particular, to

the major national distributor mentioned above.

Building Supply segment sales for the six months ended June 30,

2010 increased by $3.6 million, or 59.4%, to $9.6 million, compared to $6.0

million for the same period of 2009. The

segment increase was primarily due to a 62.8% increase in sales of REX SynFelt

synthetic roof underlayment and a 58.1% increase in sales of REX Wrap

housewrap, compared to the same period of 2009.

The sales mix of the Building Supply segment for the six months ended June 30,

2010 was 69% for synthetic roof underlayment and 31% for housewrap. This compared to 68% for synthetic roof

underlayment and 32% for housewrap for the six months ended June 30,

2009. Infection Control segment sales

for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $3.6 million, or

52.0%, to $3.3 million, compared to $6.9 million for the same period of

2009. Mask sales were down by $2.3

million, or 48.7%, to $2.4 million, primarily due to the surge in N-95

respirator mask sales in 2009 in relation to the H1N1 Influenza A

pandemic. Shield sales were down by $1.4

million, or 67.0%, to $0.7 million, due to the $1.7 million non-recurring order

profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by 38.6%, to

$4.2 million, for the second quarter of 2010, or a 37.6% gross profit margin,
