Alpha Pro Tech (NYSE AMEX:APT)

Al Millar, President of Alpha Pro Tech, commented, "Our fourth quarter revenues and profitability continued the positive momentum that we experienced in our earlier quarters in 2009, which allowed us to deliver record results. We continued to see substantial sales growth in our REX Synfelt synthetic roof underlayment and, to a lesser extent, our house wrap products. We are currently working on opportunities with existing and new distributors, and we are optimistic about the Building Supply segment throughout 2010 and further into the future. In the Disposable Protective Apparel segment, we expect increased sales from a broad base of our distributors in 2010, but sales to our largest distributor, which were up in 2009, are expected to soften in 2010. Our N-95 Particulate Respirator face mask sales started to slow down in the latter part of the fourth quarter and are expected to return to pre-H1N1 levels in 2010, unless concerns relating to the global H1N1 Influenza A pandemic resume."
