Summary

Alpha Pro Tech is a very small company with a market cap of only 35.9 Million Dollars.  They manufacture disposable protective apparel for the medical field.  The stock has dropped almost 70% since the end of the swine flu break out over the last year.  They are in good financial shape with a very high current ratio and very low debt.  The company’s growth mainly came from the fear of the H1N1 Virus, but I think the company was oversold and will rebound over the next year.
