Net sales includes revenue from products and shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for product returns and any related sales incentives. Our customer contracts have a single performance obligation: transfer control of products to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring control of products. All revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligations under the applicable contract. We recognize revenue in connection with transferring control of the promised products to the customer, with revenue being recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the products, which is generally when title passes to the customer upon delivery to a third party carrier for FOB shipping point arrangements and to the customer for FOB destination arrangements, at which time a receivable is created for the invoice sent to the customer. Shipping and handling activities are performed prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods, and are accounted for as fulfillment activities and are not a promised good or service. Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs, associated with the distribution of the Company’s product to the customers, are recorded in cost of goods sold and are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which is generally when title passes to the customer upon delivery to a third party carrier for FOB shipping point arrangements and to the customer for FOB destination arrangements. We estimate product returns based on historical return rates and estimate rebates based on contractual agreements. Using probability assessments, we estimate sales incentives expected to be paid over the term of the contract. Sales taxes and value added taxes in foreign and domestic jurisdictions that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net sales. The Company manufactures certain private label goods for customers and has determined that control does not pass to the customer at the time of manufacture, based upon the nature of the private labelling. The Company has determined as of June 30, 2022 that it had no material contract assets, and concluded that its contract liabilities (primarily rebates) had the right of offset against customer receivables. See Note 9 and Note 10 of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for information on revenue disaggregated by type and by geographic region.

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.

The new guidance revises the accounting requirements related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also changes certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. These changes will require an entity to measure, at fair value, investments in equity securities and other ownership interests in an entity and recognize the changes in fair value within net income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has not yet adopted this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of adoption on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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.

The Company is presently involved in protracted litigation against a competitor in an action styled Alpha Pro Tech, Inc. v. VWR International, LLC, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, CV 12-1615, wherein the Company originally sought damages for unfair trade practices and false advertising against the competitor, and the competitor has counterclaimed asserting similar claims against the Company. In August of 2017, the court ruled against the Company on its claims against the competitor, and the competitor is presently seeking attorneys’ fees and costs as the prevailing party with respect to those claims. The Company is in the process of evaluating, with current litigation counsel, the remaining counterclaims against the Company and the claim for attorneys’ fees and costs and intends to vigorously defend against these claims. Although the Company believes that it will prevail in its defense of these claims, any material loss amount that might be incurred cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.consolidated net sales.

13. | Income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. The Company’s policy is to record any interest and penalties assessed by the Internal Revenue Service as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company provides allowances for uncertain income tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination by the tax authority.
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions.
An employer generally does not claim a corporate income tax deduction (which would be in an amount equal to the amount of income recognized by the employee) upon the exercise of its employee's incentive stock options (“ISOs”) unless the employee does not meet the holding period requirements and sells early, making a disqualifying disposition, or if the options otherwise do not qualify as ISOs under applicable tax laws. With non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), on the other hand, the employer is typically eligible to claim a deduction upon its employee's exercise of the NQSOs.
14. | Contingencies |
On June 7, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) in Utah naming as defendants the vendors from which the Company ordered equipment for its facility in Utah (collectively the “Defendants”). The Lawsuit relates to certain equipment ordered from Defendants and paid for by the Company, which Defendants never delivered. In the Lawsuit the Company is seeking the following relief: compensatory damages in the amount $490,000, representing the money the Company paid for the machines it never received, lost profits in the form of mask sales it could have made if Defendants had delivered the machines on the promised date, and other monetary and equitable relief. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has written off the $490,000 balance of the deposit paid for the equipment, pending any recovery in the Lawsuit. As of the date hereof, no counterclaims have been asserted against the Company. The Company believes there would not be any meritorious claims against the Company in the Lawsuit. The Lawsuit is in its early stages and the final outcome, including the potential amount of any recovery for the Company’s claims, is uncertain. Any potential recovery represents a gain contingency in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, that has not been recorded as the matter was not resolved as of June 30, 2022. Any recovery will be recorded when received.
The Company is subject to other pendingcertain claims and threatened litigationlegal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.

In addition, in accordance with SEC rules, we provide electronic or paper copies of our filings free of charge upon request.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with USU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“USU.S. 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.periods reported. We base estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates are subject to uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The application of these accounting policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide timely and reliable financial information. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are more fully described in Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8. of the 2021 Form 10-K. Since December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to 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 classifiedpolicies and estimates 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 investmentsdescribed in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.
Inventories: Inventories include freight-in, materials, labor and overhead costs and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable 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 net realizable 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.2021 Form 10-K.

Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.
Impact of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, we experienced a significant surge in customer demand for our proprietary N-95 Particulate Respirator face mask product and other personal protective equipment (“PPE”) products as a result of COVID-19. We experienced a dramatic increase in revenue from sales of PPE products during 2020 and to a lesser extent during 2021, especially with respect to face masks and disposable protective garments, including shoecovers, coveralls, gowns, lab coats and bouffant caps.
In an effort to meet the unprecedented demand, and to aid communities around the world in responding to the ongoing healthcare crisis, the Company ramped up production during the first quarter of 2020 of our PPE products, in particular our N-95 face mask, which is manufactured by the Company in the United States. We addressed the growing customer demand for PPE products by increasing and improving the human, mechanical, and supply chain components behind production, but even with these increases and improvements, customer demand for PPE products exceeded industry supply from time to time.
Since 2020, we have encountered a number of constraints within our supply chain due to government-mandated shutdowns, raw materials shortages and shipping delays. Although we continue to work to alleviate these supply chain issues by securing additional supply sources, in the event of subsequent shutdowns, shortages or delays, our production and sales could be further impacted. Further, we have experienced increases in the costs of raw materials, and if the prices of raw materials continue to rise more rapidly than our sales prices, our profits may be impacted negatively.
Global shortages in important components and logistics challenges have resulted in, and will continue to cause, inflationary cost pressure in the Company’s supply chain. To date, the inflationary cost pressure has been more pronounced in the Company’s logistics costs, but these supply chain challenges have had an impact on the Company’s results of operations and ability to deliver products and services to its customers. However, if shortages in important supply chain materials or logistics challenges continue, the Company could fail to meet product demand. Additionally, if inflationary pressures in logistics or component costs persist, we may not be able to quickly or easily adjust pricing, reduce costs, or implement countermeasures, all of which would adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are continuing to serve our customers while taking every precaution to provide a safe work environment for our employees, and we have enacted enhanced operating protocols to assure their safety and well-being. We believe that we may have to take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of our employees or as required by federal, state, or local authorities.
COVID-19 has resulted in a downturn in the global financial markets and a slowdown in the global economy. This economic environment may impact some of our customers’ ability to pay or lead them to request extended payment terms, and we have experienced cost increases from some of our suppliers. Additionally, we expect that demand for our Building Supply segment products could be negatively impacted as the overall market for housing starts has decreased and increased uncertainty in the housing market and the economy in general, although to date we have not experienced any material negative impact in our Building Supply segment.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. Overall, the increase in sales of our PPE products resulting from the pandemic had a positive impact on our 2021 and, to a lesser extent, 2022 financial results. The extent of the pandemic’s effect on our future operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic and new variants, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and the efficacy of mass vaccinations, and the resumption of widespread economic activity in certain sectors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any certainty the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

Thisthree months ended June 30, 2021. The Building Supply segment increase during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to a 20.3%7.7% increase in sales of housewrap and a 37.2%116.4% increase in sales of other woven material, partially offset by a 14.9% decrease in sales of synthetic roof underlayment (including REX™, TECHNOply™ and TECHNO SB). of 7.7% compared to the same period of 2021.
The sales mix of the Building Supply segment for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 was 48%approximately 40% for synthetic roof underlayment, 42% for housewrap and 10%18% for other woven material.

Although2021. Our synthetic roof underlayment segment sales were down, housewrap sales remained strong, with increased sales in the third quarter of 20.3%product line primarily includes REX SynFelt®, REX TECHNOply® and 10.0% year to date. At the end of the third quarter, we announced a new, innovativeTECHNO SB®, and exciting product line to our housewrap family, REX™product line primarily consists of REX Wrap®, REX Wrap® Plus and REX Wrap Fortis with JX ALTA 360° Drainage Technology™Fortis®. With its one-of-a-kind construction, this product uniquely enables the drainage of water in EVERY direction to protect buildings from the elements exponentially better than a traditional housewrap, while decreasing job site material waste, simplifying installation to reduce labor and allowing fewer products to be carried. This new product offering will compete in a segment of the housewrap market that is currently untapped for us, and we anticipate that it will provide us with significant growth opportunities. Synthetic roof underlayment sales were down in the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower sales to private label customers and competitive pricing pressure. In particular, sales to one of our largest private label distributors were down significantly in the third quarter as well as year to date, as they are struggling with a general decline in their overall building sales. In addition, sales to another smaller private label distributor were down due to a change in strategy during 2016. Although sales were down, the number of rolls of label synthetic roof underlayment sold, excluding sales to the two distributors mentioned above, were actually up 5.9% for the quarter. We believe that our line of synthetic roof underlayment will be a growth driver in the coming year. Management expects the
Building Supply segment sales for the second quarter of 2022 resulted in the all-time highest quarter on record. In addition, we have experienced record quarters in each of the past seven quarters, as compared to experience growth in 2018.each respective prior year comparative quarter.

Sales forIn the Disposable Protective Apparelsecond quarter of 2022, the Building Supply segment forexperienced growth over the three months ended September 30, 2017same period last year, which was led by a quarterly record in sales of housewrap. Premium housewrap was up, as we enjoyed entry into more multi-family and light commercial markets. We also experienced additional growth with our entry level line of housewrap with additional market penetration on the retail side, as well as increased by $147,000, or 4.0%,sales of our accessory items, which includes window and door flashing and seam tapes. One of our growth strategies is to $3,845,000,pursue additional market share of the multi-family building market, through the education of architects and introducing new products, which are currently in development, to meet the needs of ever changing building code requirements and customers’ needs.
Our synthetic roof underlayment sales in the second quarter of 2022 were negatively affected due a decline of sales in our premium REX SynFelt® brand, which reflects an industry trend, and flat sales of our economy TECHNO SB® brand as there has been an overall increase in inventory levels at the retail level on economy underlayment products. The higher inventories as well as a general retraction in the building market are expected to continue into the third quarter but we do expect growth in the near future.
Other woven material sales increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $3,698,000 for the same period of 2016, primarily2021 by a significant 116.4% due to increased sales to our major internationalcustomer and sales to a new other woven material customer.

The synthetic roofing market was strong in 2021 and into early 2022, although the Company has recently seen some retraction in new home starts and re-roofing expenditures, as well as excess inventory in the market. By adding dealers, distribution channels and products in the roofing sector, we remain optimistic with respect to $1,128,000, comparedachieving sales growth in the future. Assuming new home construction remains high, we expect our housewrap sales will continue to $1,059,000grow despite the aforementioned retraction, as our distribution channels continue to expand and we introduce new products for this market.

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.

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 was 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 adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The Company netted $410,000 in deferred tax assets netted against deferred tax liabilities as of the end of the first quarter of 2017.

The new guidance revises the accounting requirements related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also changes certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. These changes will require an entity to measure, at fair value, investments in equity securities and other ownership interests in an entity and recognize the changes in fair value within net income.

The provisions of this guidance were effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and the Company recorded a one-time $866,000 cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce additional paid-in capital and increase retained earnings for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises that had previously been recorded to additional paid-in capital. The adoption of this guidance also increased the number of dilutive shares because excess tax benefits are no longer included in the assumed proceeds when calculating the number of dilutive shares. In addition, the effective tax rate will be reduced in future periods when there are excess tax benefits from stock options exercised.
Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes merit further discussion.discussion at this time.
