PART I

Lakeland Industries, Inc. (the “Company” or “Lakeland,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1986. Our executive office is located at 701 Koehler Avenue, Suite 7, Ronkonkoma, New York 11779, and our telephone number is (631) 981-9700. Our website is located at www.lakeland.com. Information contained on our website is not part of this report.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

We manufacture and sell a comprehensive line of safety garments and accessories for the industrial protective clothing market. Our products are sold by our in-house customer service group, our regional sales managers and independent sales representatives to a network of over 1,200 North American safety and mill supply distributors. These distributors in turn supply end user industrial customers, such as integrated oil, chemical/petrochemical, utilities, automobile, steel, glass, construction, smelting, munition plants, janitorial, pharmaceutical, mortuaries and high technology electronics manufacturers, as well as scientific and medical laboratories. In addition, we supply federal, state and local governmental agencies and departments, such as fire and law enforcement, airport crash rescue units, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control. However, internationally sales are to a mixture of end users directly and industrial distributors depending on the particular country market. Sales are made to more than 40 foreign countries, but are primarily in Brazil, China, European Community, Canada, Southeast Asia, Australia, Chile and Argentina. In FY13, we had net sales from continuing operations of $95.1 million and $96.3 million in FY12. For purposes of this Form 10-K, FY refers to a fiscal year ended January 31; for example, FY13 refers to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.

FY13 was a challenging year for management. The Company lost an officer contract dispute where we had substantial documentary evidence that the officer in question had breached his employment contract with Lakeland. Nonetheless, a Brazilian Arbitration Panel awarded this officer a $12.5 million judgment against Lakeland. According to our local counsel, arbitration decisions in Brazil are very difficult to successfully appeal. Subsequently, Lakeland successfully negotiated the judgment down to $8.5 million of which $6.0 million was payable over six years with no interest. As of April 1, 2013, the remaining liability associated with this arbitration judgment is $5.75 million and is payable at $250,000 a quarter over the next 5 ¾ years, with no interest. In addition, the Brazilian government devalued its currency by 10% in 2012 which greatly reduced our margins in Brazil on imported fabrics.

Declining sales in FY13 led to quarterly losses in Brazil, which led to the necessity of writing off all goodwill, certain intangibles, and deferred tax assets of Brazil. These factors led to a default on the TD Bank loan, which in turn created substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Thus, we engaged with new lenders and considered other options, such as the sale of the company, the sale of assets which has occurred, and a refinance of the TD Bank loan. In May 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to certain terms and conditions and is currently working towards closing this financing. However, no assurance can be given that this transaction or any other transaction will be consummated. We will continue pursuing all options to maximize stockholder value.

As a result of the default under the TD Bank loan, and the risk that such loan could be called as immediately due and payable, we were unable to conclude that we would have the capital to continue our operations through January 31, 2014. Successful completion of the proposed new financing, in management’s opinion, would relieve this condition.

We have operated manufacturing facilities in Mexico since 1995, in China since 1996, in India since 2007 (being sold) and in Brazil since 2008 (being restructured). Beginning in 1995, we moved the labor intensive sewing operation for our limited use/disposable protective clothing lines to these facilities. Our facilities and capabilities in China and Mexico allow access to a less expensive labor pool than is available in the United States and permit us to purchase certain raw materials at a lower cost than are available domestically. As we have increasingly moved production of our products to our facilities in Mexico and China, we have experienced improvements in the profit margins for these products. We completed the moving of production of our reusable woven garments and gloves to these facilities in fiscal 2010. As a result, we have experienced cost improvements for these particular product lines.

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our purchases and sales in other countries. To manage the volatility relating to foreign currency exchange rates, we seek to limit, to the extent possible, our non-US dollar denominated purchases and sales.

In connection with our operations in China, we purchase a significant amount of products from outside of the United States. However, our purchases in China are primarily made in Chinese Yuan, the value of which had been largely pegged to the US dollar for the last decade. However, the Chinese Yuan has been decoupled from the US Dollar and allowed to float by the Chinese government and, therefore, we have been exposed to additional foreign exchange rate risk on our Chinese raw material and component purchases.

Our primary risk from foreign currency exchange rate changes is presently related to non-US dollar denominated sales in Brazil, Canada and Europe and, to a smaller extent, in other South American countries and dollar-denominated payables in Brazil. Our sales to customers in Brazil are denominated in Brazilian Reals, in Canada in Canadian dollars and in Europe in Euros and British pounds. If the value of the US dollar increases relative to the Canadian dollar, the Real, the Pound or the Euro, then our net sales could decrease as our products would be more expensive to these international customers because of changes in rate of exchange. The largest supplier of raw materials to Brazil is an American company, and these payables are denominated in US dollars. If the Brazilian Real weakened against the US dollar, it would make our costs higher and trigger a loss on foreign exchange on the payables. Our sales from China are denominated in the Chinese Yuan, US dollar and Euros;. We did experience some losses between the Chinese Yuan, the Euro and US dollars in FY12, but we have since stepped up our hedging program to include this risk. We manage the foreign currency risk through the use of rolling 90-day forward contracts against the Canadian dollar and Euros and through longer term cash flow hedges in China against the USD and Euro. We also do limited short-term hedging of the Brazilian Real. We do not hedge other currencies at this time. As non-US dollar denominated international purchases and sales grow, exposure to volatility in exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on our financial results. The only significant unhedged foreign exchange exposure we have is the Brazilian Real. Other unhedged currency exposure is not significant. If the Brazilian exchange rates varied either way by +/- 10% it could cause a gain/loss to P&L of $212,000.

Our major product categories and their applications are described below:

Limited Use/Disposable Protective Clothing. We manufacture a complete line of limited use/disposable protective garments offered in coveralls, lab coats, shirts, pants, hoods, aprons, sleeves and smocks. These garments are made from several nonwoven fabrics, such as Micromax®, Micromax NS, HBF®, SafeGard® SMS®, Pyrolon XT®, Plus 2®, RyTex®, Zonegard® and ChemMax® 1 and 2. These garments provide protection from low-risk contaminants or irritants, such as chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, paint, grease and dust, and from limited exposure to hazardous waste and toxic chemicals, including acids, asbestos, lead and hydro-carbons (or PCBs) that pose health risks after exposure for long periods of time. Additional applications include protection from viruses and bacteria, such as AIDS, streptococcus, SARS and hepatitis, at international hospitals, clinics and emergency rescue sites and use in clean room environments to prevent human contamination in the manufacturing processes.

3

High-End Chemical Protective Suits. We manufacture heavy duty chemical suits made from our Pyrolon® CRFR and ChemMax® 3, 4 and Interceptor product lines. These suits are worn by individuals on hazardous material teams to provide protection from powerful, highly concentrated and hazardous or potentially lethal chemical and biological toxins, such as toxic wastes at Super Fund sites, toxic chemical spills or biological discharges, chemical or biological warfare weapons (such as sarin gas, anthrax or ricin), and hazardous chemicals and petro-chemicals present during the cleaning of refineries and nuclear facilities. These suits can be used in conjunction with a fire protective shell that we manufacture to protect the user from both chemical and flash fire hazards. Homeland Security measures and government funding of personal protective equipment for first responders to terrorist threats or attack we believe will result in increased demand for our high-end chemical suits, and we believe a reasonable demand for these suits will continue in the future as annual state and local Bioterrorism grants are spent.

Fire Fighting and Heat Protective Apparel. We manufacture both domestically and internationally an extensive line of firefighting and heat protective apparel for use by fire fighters and other individuals that work in extreme heat environments. Our firefighting apparel is sold to local municipalities and industrial firefighting teams. Our heat protective aluminized fire suits are manufactured from Nomex®, a fire and heat resistant material, and Kevlar®, a cut and heat resistant, high-strength, lightweight, flexible and durable fiber produced by DuPont and woven by Tencate, Springs and other fabric manufacturers. This apparel is also used for maintenance of extreme high temperature equipment, such as coke ovens, kilns, glass furnaces, refinery installations and smelting plants, as well as for military and airport crash and rescue teams.

Reusable Woven Garments. We manufacture a line of reusable and washable woven garments that complement our firefighting and heat protective apparel offerings and provide alternatives to our limited use/disposable protective clothing lines. Product lines include electrostatic dissipative apparel used in the pharmaceutical and automotive industries for control of static electricity in the manufacturing process, clean room apparel to prevent human contamination in the manufacturing processes, flame resistant Nomex® and fire resistant (FR) cotton coveralls used in chemical and petroleum plants and for wildland firefighting, and extrication suits for police and ambulance workers.

High Visibility Clothing. We manufacture a line of high visibility clothing. This line includes flame retardant and reflective garments for the Fire Industry, Nomex clothing for utilities and high visibility reflective outer wear for industrial uniforms and State Departments of Transportation.

Glove and Sleeves. We manufacture gloves and arm guards from Kevlar® and Spectra® cut resistant fibers made by DuPont, Honeywell and similar yarns made by other manufacturers, respectively, as well as engineered composite yarns and our Microgard antimicrobial yarns for food service markets. These gloves are used primarily in the automotive, glass, metal fabrication and food service industries to protect the wearer’s hands and arms from lacerations and heat without sacrificing manual dexterity or comfort.

We maintain manufacturing facilities in Alabama, Mexico, Brazil, China and Pennsylvania, where our products are designed, manufactured and sold. We also have relationships with sewing subcontractors in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and China, which we can utilize for unexpected production requirement. Our international facilities allow us to take advantage of favorable labor and component costs, thereby increasing our profit margins on products manufactured in these facilities. These facilities also allow us to sell in those domestic markets, thereby avoiding high import tariffs in countries like Argentina, Brazil and China. The Company decided to discontinue operations in its India glove manufacturing facility and put the assets and business up for sale during FY12. The Company decided to sell this division primarily because it has incurred significant operating losses since inception, and the Company has been unsuccessful in developing sufficient sales to reach at least break even.

Industry Overview

The industrial work clothing market includes our limited use/disposable protective or safety clothing, our high-end chemical protective suits, our firefighting and heat protective apparel, gloves and our reusable woven garments.

The industrial protective safety clothing market in the United States has evolved over the past 40 years as a result of governmental regulations and requirements and commercial product development. In 1970, Congress enacted the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA, which requires employers to supply protective clothing in certain work environments. Almost two million workers in the US are subject to OSHA standards today. Certain states have also enacted worker safety laws that further supplement OSHA standards and requirements.

4

The advent of OSHA coincided with the development of light disposable fabrics, such as SMS (a three layered non-woven) and Polypropylene which, for the first time, allowed for the economical production of lightweight, disposable protective clothing. The attraction of disposable garments grew in the late 1970s as a result of increases in labor and material costs of producing cloth garments and the promulgation of federal, state and local safety regulations. Also, in order to comply with World Trade Organization (WTO) entry requirements, foreign countries are beginning to adopt and imitate OSHA regulations, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Committee European de Normalization (CE) standards. Thus, these developing international markets are growing much more rapidly than the US markets where these regulations and standards have been in effect for over 40 years.

Additionally, in response to the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, in the US, the federal government has provided for additional protective equipment funding through programs that are part of the Homeland Security initiative.

Since 2001, federal and state purchasing of industrial protective clothing and federal grants to fire departments have increased demand for industrial protective clothing to protect first responders against actual or threatened terrorist incidents. Specific events, such as British Petroleum oil spill in 2010, the tornado storms of 2011 and Super Storm Sandy in 2012, have also resulted in increased peak demand for our products.

International and Domestic Standards

Standards development, within both the US and global markets, continues to challenge manufacturers as the pace of change and adoption of new standards increase. Complex and changing international standards play to Lakeland’s strengths when compared to smaller manufacturers.

Globally, standards for lower levels of protection are also changing rapidly. In 1996, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) adopted a group of standards that collectively comprised the only standards available for chemical protective clothing for general industry. Because these standards established performance requirements for a wide range of chemical protective clothing, these standards have been adopted by many countries and multinational corporations outside of the European Union (EU) as minimum requirements. This is especially true in the Asian and Pacific markets where compliance with occupational health and safety standards is being driven by WTO membership. In addition to CEN, ASTM International and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are increasing the numbers of “Memorandums of Understanding” (MOUs) they have in place with foreign countries as they vie for relevance on the international stage. Developing nations that want WTO membership must establish worker safety laws as the USA did in 1970 with its OSHA laws. This trend is driving demand for our products internationally, particularly in fast GDP growth countries, such as China, Brazil, India and Russia.

A number of developing nations are now becoming active in their own standards development based on existing international standards. However, the primary goal of their standards writing activity is not focused on worker protection (that is provided for by the use of international standards), rather they are attempting to establish their own certification criteria that will protect their domestic markets or favor specific regional suppliers. This presents a new challenge in that now not only are we faced with multiple test methods and standards, but we have the potential for multiple certification processes. While this adds to product development and sales expenses, the additional cost is only incremental. The real challenge is in navigating the certification process itself. Lakeland, by virtue of its international manufacturing and sales operations, is in a unique position to capitalize on this new dynamic.

With the 2010 publication of ANSI/ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) 103, there are now three standards that apply to chemical protective clothing for industrial applications globally. There are a number of reasons why we believe that none of the three will ever achieve global dominance even among countries that aggressively seek to comply with WTO agreements on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT). This situation favors protective clothing suppliers that manufacture their own garments as they are in the best position to optimize the long certification times and expenses for manufacturing. With manufacturing in multiple countries around the world and a uniquely consolidated international sales force, Lakeland is well positioned to take advantage of this development in international standards.

Business Strategy

Key elements of our strategy include:

| · | Increase International Sales Opportunities. In the past, we aggressively increased our penetration of the international markets for our product lines. Starting in FY07 and through FY08, we opened sales offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Weifang, China; Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina and in FY11, we opened sales offices in Russia, India and Kazakhstan. Additionally, sales in our older United Kingdom operation increased 49.3% in FY13 and 27.6% in FY12. We expect our newer operations in South America, Russia and Kazakhstan to ramp up sales on a similar basis to our UK operations. We acquired Qualytextil, a Brazilian manufacturer, in FY08 and in 2013 experienced challenges related to the arbitration settlement and goodwill write down in FY13. While the challenges in Brazil have required much of our focus this year, we continue to believe in this strategy of aggressively penetrating international markets, driven by the fact that many countries have adopted legislation similar to the 1970 US OSHA in order to facilitate their entry into the WTO which has, as a requisite for entry, worker safety laws (like OSHA), social security, environmental and tax laws similar to that of the USA and Europe. These new worker safety laws have driven the demand for our products in these rapidly growing economies.

5

| · | Improve Marketing in Existing Markets. We believe significant growth opportunities are available to us through the better positioning, marketing and enhanced cross-selling of our reusable woven protective clothing, glove and arm guards and high-end chemical suit product lines, along with our limited use/disposable lines as a bundled offering. This allows our customers one stop shopping using combined freight shipments.

| · | Continued Emphasized Customer Service. We continue to offer a high level of customer service to distinguish our products and to create customer loyalty. We offer well-trained and experienced sales and support personnel, on-time delivery and accommodation of custom and rush orders. We also seek to advertise our Lakeland branded trade names and trademarks.

| · | Introduce New Products. We continue our history of product development and innovation by introducing new proprietary products across all our product lines. Our innovations have included Micromax® disposable protective clothing line, our ChemMax® line of chemical protective clothing, our Despro® patented glove design, Microgard antimicrobial products for food service, our engineered composite glove products for high cut and abrasion protection, our Thermbar™ glove and sleeve products for heat protection, Grapolator™ sleeve lines for hand and arm cut protection and our Thermbar™ Mock Twist glove for hand and arm heat protection. We own 18 patents on fabrics and production machinery and have two foreign applications in process.

| · | In keeping with our US operation’s strategic focus on the Energy sector- where we see the greatest growth potential for our products- most new products introduced in FY13 were developed in response to needs in the various key areas of the sector.

| · | The big story in the US (and Canada) is the rejuvenation of domestic oil and gas production due to the recent technological breakthroughs of “Fracking” and directional drilling that make possible extraction from shale formations deep underground.

| · | The resulting spike in exploration and production has already greatly increased demand for the Fire Resistant (FR) clothing that must be worn by workers, and the demand is expected to grow for at least the next decade. The Bakken Shale formation in North Dakota, for example, has seen approximately 8000 wells drilled since the new technologies were perfected, and the number is projected to reach as many as 50,000 over the next 20 years. Accordingly, the development of new and improved FR clothing items, along with higher performance fabrics, is a top priority, and will be for the foreseeable future.

| · | During FY13, we introduced insulated versions of FR work clothing, including coveralls, jackets and overalls expressly designed for regions with frigid winter conditions. We also introduced lighter weight FR fabrics for the formations in Texas and other hot climates. We also expanded our line of Chemical suits with new jackets, coveralls and overalls made from a heavier weight of Pyrolon, our proprietary fabric that protects against both chemical and fire hazards, for better protection in oil fields and refineries. We anticipate that in FY14 will see the introduction of many more new items targeted to this critical industry.

| · | To serve other parts of the energy sector, our Disposables division introduced a heavier weight SMS fabric for the nuclear services industry, and our Glove division a new Kevlar glove coated with latex for use in manufacturing wind turbine blades.

6

| · | The other significant driver of energy-related demand growth is in the utility industry, both electric and gas, for our Reflective clothing division. Already a steadily growing area for Lakeland due to enhanced visibility regulations for utility workers, a new emphasis on fabrics that protect against arc flash and ignition of gases due to static charges, provides a further avenue for growth.

| · | Accordingly, we introduced new reflective coveralls, overalls, vests, shirts and rainwear that are both FR and arc flash-rated. We also introduced new reflective vests and jackets that are not FR, but designed for use by road and transportation workers, such as utility, railroad and road construction crews, as well as emergency workers.

| · | At the end of FY13 our Fire division introduced our all-new line of turnout gear designed to meet the new NFPA 2012/13 standards. We believe that the many design innovations of these new suits will garner notice and positive results for the division.

| · | Decrease Manufacturing Expenses by Moving Production to International Facilities. We have additional opportunities to take advantage of our low cost production capabilities in China, Mexico and Brazil. Beginning in 1995, we successfully moved the labor intensive sewing operation for our limited use/disposable protective clothing lines to facilities in Mexico and China. Beginning January 1, 2005, pursuant to the United States World Trade Organization Treaty with China and the 1995 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the reduction in quota requirements and tariffs imposed by the US and Canada on textiles goods, such as our reusable woven garments, have made it more cost effective to move production for some of these product lines to our assembly facilities in China and Mexico. Additionally,

| · | We continue to press our raw material and component suppliers for price reductions and better payment terms.

| · | We are sourcing more raw materials and components from our China based operations as opposed to sourcing from Europe and North America.

| · | We are re-engineering many products to reduce the amount of raw materials used and reduce the direct labor required.

| · | In FY13 we relocated the operations in our facility in Missouri and moved the production into our Alabama facility and to our newly expanded facility in Mexico. This move is expected to result in a significant net overhead reduction commencing in FY14.

| · | Subsequent to year end FY13, the Company's plant in Qingdao China was closed and is in process of being sold. All production was relocated from this plant to other Lakeland facilities.

Our Competitive Strengths

Our competitive strengths include:

| · | Industry Reputation. We devote significant resources to creating customer loyalty by accommodating custom and rush orders and focusing on on-time delivery. Additionally, our ISO 9001 and 9002 certified facilities manufacture high-quality products. As a result of these factors, we believe that we have an excellent reputation in the industry.

| · | International Manufacturing Capabilities. We have operated our own manufacturing facilities in Mexico since 1995 and in China since 1996. Our facilities in China in FY13 totaled 437,916 sq. ft. of manufacturing, warehousing and administrative space and our facility in Mexico totaled 74,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing, warehousing and administrative space. Our facilities and capabilities in China and Mexico allow access to a less expensive labor pool than is available in the US and permits us to purchase certain raw materials at a lower cost than are available domestically.

| · | International Sales Offices. We have sales offices around the world to service various major markets, a greatly expanded Toronto, Canada facility that went on line in January 2008 for the Canadian market, an expanded Newport, United Kingdom office for the European Community that went on line in late 2011 and opened sales offices in Beijing, Weifang, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Shanghai, China covering China, Australia and Southeast Asia; Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Jerez, Mexico for the South American market. In FY11 we also opened sales offices in Moscow, Russia and Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan. In FY10, we opened a sales office in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Subsequent to year end the company's plant in Qingdao China was closed and is in process of being sold. All production was relocated from this plant to other Lakeland facilities

7

| · | Comprehensive Inventory. We have a large product offering with numerous specifications, such as size, styles and pockets, and maintain a large inventory of each in order to satisfy customer orders in a timely manner. Many of our customers traditionally make purchases of industrial protective gear with expectations of immediate delivery. We believe our ability to provide timely service for these customers enhances our reputation in the industry and positions us strongly for repeat business, particularly in our limited use/disposable protective clothing lines.

| · | Manufacturing Flexibility. By locating labor-intensive manufacturing processes, such as sewing, in Brazil, Mexico and China, and by utilizing sewing subcontractors, we have the ability to increase production without substantial additional capital expenditures. Our manufacturing systems allow us flexibility for unexpected production surges and alternative capacity in the event any of our independent contractors become unavailable.

Limited Use/Disposable Protective Clothing

We manufacture a complete line of limited use/disposable protective garments, including coveralls, laboratory coats, shirts, pants, hoods, aprons, sleeves, arm guards, caps and smocks. Limited use garments can also be coated or laminated to increase splash protection against harmful inorganic acids, bases and other hazardous liquid and dry chemicals. Limited use garments are made from several nonwoven fabrics, including our premium lines, our own trademarked fabrics, such as Pyrolon® Plus 2, XT, Micromax®, Micromax NS, Safegard® “76”, Zonegard®, RyTex® ChemMax® 1 and 2, and TomTex®, which are made of spunlaced polyester, polypropylene, laminates, micropourous films and derivatives. We incorporate many seaming, heat sealing and taping techniques depending on the level of protection needed in the end use application.

Typical users of these garments include integrated oil/petrochemical refineries, chemical plants and related installations, automotive manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, construction companies, coal, gas and oil power generation utilities and telephone utility companies, laboratories, mortuaries and governmental entities. Numerous smaller industries use these garments for specific safety applications unique to their businesses. Additional applications include protection from viruses and bacteria, such as AIDS, streptococcus, SARS and hepatitis, at international hospitals, clinics and emergency rescue sites and use in clean room environments to prevent human contamination in the manufacturing processes.

Our limited use/disposable protective clothing products range in unit price from $0.19 for shoe covers to approximately $15.00 for a ChemMax® 1 laminated hood and booted coverall. Our largest selling item, a standard white Micromax NS ANSI standard or CE standard coverall, sells for approximately $2.00 to $3.75 per garment. By comparison, similar reusable cloth coveralls range in price from $35.00 to $90.00, exclusive of laundering, maintenance and shrinkage expenses.

9

We warehouse and sell our limited use/disposable garments primarily at our Alabama and China manufacturing facilities and secondarily from warehouses in Hull, United Kingdom; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Toronto, Canada; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Santiago, Chile; Moscow, Russia; Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan; Las Vegas, Nevada and Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. The fabric is cut and sewn into required patterns at our four Chinese and one Mexican plant and shipped to all our sales points around the world. Our assembly facilities in China and Mexico cut, sew and package the finished garments and return them primarily to our Alabama plant, normally within 1 to 10 weeks, for immediate shipment to our North American customers.

In FY13, there was no independent sewing contractor that accounts for more than 5% of our production of the limited use disposable garments. We believe that we can obtain adequate alternative production capacity should any of our independent contractors become unavailable.

High-End Chemical Protective Suits

We manufacture and sell heavy duty protective chemical suits and protective apparel from our proprietary CRFR, ChemMax® 3, 4, Interceptor and other fabrics. These suits are worn by individuals on hazardous material teams and within general industry to provide protection from powerful, highly concentrated and hazardous or potentially lethal chemical and biological toxins, such as toxic wastes at Superfund sites, toxic chemical spills or biological discharges, chemical or biological warfare weapons (such as sarin, anthrax or ricin and mustard gas) and chemicals and petro-chemicals present during the cleaning of refineries and nuclear facilities. Our line of chemical suits range in cost from about $113-$1,300 per coverall. The chemical suits can be used in conjunction with a fire protective shell that we manufacture to protect the user from both chemical and flash fire hazards. We have also introduced two garments approved by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) for varying levels of protection:

| · | Interceptor®, two multilayer films laminated on either side of durable nonwoven substrate. This garment provides a broad spectrum chemical barrier to gases, vapors and liquids. This garment is of an encapsulating design and is available in NFPA 1991 with flash fire for escape option and CE Type 1 certified configurations.

| · | ChemMax® 4 is a multilayer barrier film laminated to a durable nonwoven substrate. This garment is a broad spectrum chemical barrier, but its greatest advantage is that the material is strong enough to hold an airtight zipper and to withstand reuse. As a result, it provides a low cost option for encapsulating garments and is durable enough for multiple reuse provided the garment is not exposed to chemical hazards. It is available in CE type 4 and 3 certified garments.

The addition of Interceptor and ChemMax® 4 to our product line provides Lakeland with, we believe, the most complete and cost-effective line of chemical protective garments available on the market today. Garments are certified to NFPA standards where applicable and versions of all of these garments are CE certified.

We manufacture chemical protective clothing at our facilities in Alabama, Mexico and China. Using fabrics, such as ChemMax® 1, ChemMax® 2, ChemMax® 3, ChemMax® 4 and Interceptor, we design, cut, glue and/or sew the materials to meet customer purchase orders.

Fire Fighting and Heat Protective Apparel

We manufacture an extensive line of products to protect individuals who work in high heat environments. Our heat protective aluminized fire suit product lines include the following:

| · | Kiln entry suit to protect kiln maintenance workers from extreme heat.

| · | Proximity suits to give protection in high heat areas where exposure to hot liquids, steam or hot vapors is possible.

| · | Approach suits to protect personnel engaged in maintenance, repair and operational tasks where temperatures do not exceed 200°F ambient, with a radiant heat exposure up to 2,000°F.

We manufacture fire fighter protective apparel for domestic and foreign fire departments. We developed the popular 32-inch coat high back bib style (Battalion) bunker gear. Crash rescue continues to be a major market for us, as we were one of the first manufacturers to supply military and civilian markets with airport firefighting protection.

We manufacture fire suits at our facilities in China, Mexico, Alabama and Brazil. Our fire suits range in price from about $800 for standard fire department turnout gear to $2,000 for certain fire proximity suits and heat protective apparel. Our Fyrepel® brand of firefighting apparel continues to benefit from ongoing research and development investment, as we seek to address the ergonomic needs of stressful occupations. Additionally, we have introduced a new NFPA certified line of our OSX turnout gear manufactured in China. Orders continue to increase as it complements our US product offering.

10

In order to enhance our sales, complement our existing woven products line and broaden our product offering, we have initiated a completely new product line that will be branded Fyrban. The Fyrban product offering will enable us to sell more to the fire service, as well as open the doors regarding woven clothing in the electrical and industrial markets. The products that we are introducing for the fire service are as follows:

| · | Fire service station wear in multiple protective fabrics

| · | Fire service extrication suits in FR cotton

| · | Additional wildland firefighting apparel in multiple fabrics

The products that we are introducing for the electrical and industrial markets are as follows:

| · | Flame resistant arc/flash protective suits in FR cotton

| · | Flame resistant shirts and pants in multiple protective fabrics

| · | Flame resistant jackets in FR cotton

These products range in price from approximately $35.00 for a standard certified pant to $400.00 for a certified arc protective suit. The Alabama facility will also be utilized as a finishing location for garments that need to be altered.

Reusable Woven Garments

We manufacture and market a line of reusable and washable woven garments that complement our firefighting and heat protective apparel offerings and provide alternatives to our limited use/disposable protective clothing lines and give us access to the much larger woven industrial and health care-related markets. Cloth reusable garments are favored by customers for certain uses or applications because of familiarity with and acceptance of these fabrics and woven cloth’s heavier weight, durability, longevity and comfort. These products allow us to supply and satisfy a wider range of safety and customer needs.

Additionally, we are currently working on a new line of FR and non-FR garments that will be utilized in the Police/SWAT and Emergency Medical Technician areas.

Our product lines include the following:

| · | Electrostatic dissipative apparel used primarily in the pharmaceutical and automotive industries.

| · | Clean room apparel used in semiconductor manufacturing and pharmaceutical manufacturing to protect against human contamination.

| · | Flame resistant Nomex®/FR Cotton coveralls/pants/jackets used in chemical and petroleum plants and for wildland firefighting.

| · | Cotton and Polycotton coveralls, lab coats, pants and shirts.

Our reusable woven garments range in price from $30 to $200 per garment. We manufacture woven cloth garments at our facilities in China, Mexico and Alabama. We are continuing to relocate highly repetitive sewing processes for our high volume, standard product lines, such as woven protective coveralls and fire retardant coveralls to our facilities in China and Mexico where lower fabric and labor costs allow increased profit margins.

High Visibility Clothing

Lakeland Reflective manufactures and markets a comprehensive line of reflective apparel meeting the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements as designated under standards 107-2004 and 207-2006. The line includes vests, T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, coats, raingear, jumpsuits, hats and gloves.

Fabrics available, including solid and mesh fluorescent, polyester, both standard and FR treated, Modacrylic materials which meet ASTM 1560 Test method for standard 70 Electric Arc Protection, are part of our offering. We recently introduced a breathable Modacrylic fabric. We believe this fabric should have strong appeal in states where very hot weather affects utility workers working outside during spring and summer (heat prostration).

In FY10, we released a new series of High Contrast Bomber Jackets, with a polyester shell that is waterproof, breathable and has a FR treated fabric. This product is intended to provide visibility to the Public Safety sector. Public Safety as a market consists of Firemen, Police and Emergency Medical Services. Such personnel also contend with hazards, such as hot objects and sparks. Hence, the addition of the FR treatment makes this garment desirable in such working environments.

With the onset of Federal Legislation, 23CFR634, effective November 2008, all contractors and other groups, working on any highway which benefits from Federal Funds, have been required to wear class 2 or class 3 vests. This legislation has greatly expanded the market for economically priced vests, which we manufacture in China.

11

Our domestic vest production occurs at Pennsylvania. Much of the manufacturing at this facility is focused on custom vest requirements. Many corporations and agencies, such as State Departments of Transportation, develop custom specifications which they feel are more efficient in meeting their specific needs versus an off-the-shelf product. We also can import a significant amount of product from China to meet the demand for items in high volume commodity markets.

In addition to ANSI Reflective items, Lakeland Hi-Visibility manufactures Nomex and FR cotton garments which have reflective trim as a part of their design criteria. These garments typically are used in rescue operations, such as those encountered with a vehicular crash. Garments in this group are not as price sensitive as those in the reflective categories. Consequently they are made in our Pennsylvania facility where we can react to customized needs and offer quicker customer response. Garments in this group can range in price from $200-$350.

Gloves and Sleeves

We manufacture and sell specially designed glove and sleeve protective products made from Kevlar®, a cut and heat resistant fiber produced by DuPont, Spectra®, a cut resistant fiber made by Honeywell and our proprietary patented engineered yarns. We are one of only nine companies licensed in North America to sell 100% Kevlar® gloves, which are high strength, lightweight, flexible and durable. Kevlar® gloves offer a better overall level of protection and lower worker injury rates, and are more cost effective than traditional leather, canvas or coated work gloves. Kevlar® gloves, which can withstand temperatures of up to 400°F and are cut resistant enough to allow workers to safely handle sharp or jagged unfinished sheet metal, are used primarily in the automotive, glass and metal fabrication industries. Our higher end string knit gloves range in price from about $40 to $170 for a dozen pair.

Since 2008, we manufacture these string knit gloves primarily at our Mexican facility allowing for lower production and labor costs. Foreign production will allow lower fabric and labor costs.

We have received patents for our Despro® and Despro® Plus products on manufacturing processes that provide greater cut and abrasion hand protection to the areas of a glove where it wears out prematurely in various applications. For example, the areas of the thumb crotch and index fingers are made heavier than the balance of the glove, providing increased wear protection and longer glove life, reducing overall glove costs. This proprietary manufacturing process allows us, we believe, to produce our gloves more economically and provide a greater value to our end user.

Quality

All of our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 or 9002 certified. ISO standards are internationally recognized quality manufacturing standards established by the International Organization for Standardization based in Geneva, Switzerland. To obtain our ISO registration, our factories were independently audited to test our compliance with the applicable standards. In order to maintain registration, our factories receive regular announced inspections by an independent certification organization. While ISO certification is advantageous in retaining CE certification of products, we believe that the ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 certifications make us more competitive in the marketplace, as customers increasingly recognize the standard as an indication of product quality.

As we are increasingly sourcing fabrics internationally, we have installed a quality control laboratory at our China facility. This laboratory is critical for insuring that our incoming raw materials meet our quality requirements, and we continue to add new capabilities to this facility to further guarantee product quality and to aid in new product development.

Marketing and Sales

Domestically, we employ an employee field sales force in order to better support customers and our enhanced marketing. We further leverage our in-house sales team with 42 independent sales representatives. These employees and representatives call on over 1,200 industrial safety and fire service distributors nationwide to promote and sell our products. Distributors buy our products for resale and typically maintain inventory at the local level in order to assure quick response times and the ability to serve their customers properly. Our sales employees and independent representatives have consistent communication with end users and decision makers at the distribution level, thereby allowing us valuable feedback on market perception of our products, as well as information about new developments in our industry.

As a key competitive and marketing advantage, we manufacture nearly all the garments we sell in our own factories for better control of costs, quality and delivery. Our competitors rely largely on contractors, which is a major selling point in our favor- customers are more comfortable dealing with the actual manufacturer.

12

We seek to maximize the efficiency of our established distribution network through direct promotion of our products at the end user level. We advertise primarily through trade publications, and our promotional activities include sales brochures, emails and our website. We exhibit at both regional and national trade shows, such as the National Safety Congress, the American Society of Safety Engineers, China Import and Export Fair, COS+H and the A + A show in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Internationally, aggregate sales growth continues to meet expectations even when currency exchange rates are factored in. Product line expansion to higher value products is progressing in all global markets and is contributing to increased brand recognition, sales growth and profitability. We believe that future international growth is still sustainable in the coming year, based on our current estimates of market penetration, the introduction of higher value products and the opportunity to open new markets in which we do not yet have a presence.

We derive a percentage of our sales from the Department for Homeland Security. The federal government, through the Fire Act of 2002, began appropriating money as grants in 2003 to fire departments in the United States and its territories to fund the purchase of, among other things, personal protective equipment, including our firefighting and heat protective apparel and high-end chemical protective suits. In 2011, funds in the amount of $190 million were appropriated, $610 million were appropriated in 2012 and $365 million is expected in appropriations for 2013. The Bio Terrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 originally included appropriations of approximately $3.6 billion for Bioterrorism Preparedness. In this program approximately $254 million of that amount is budgeted for Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness and approximately $641 million in state, local preparedness and response in 2013.

Lakeland has salespeople in 17 countries outside of the US, and product sales in more than 40 countries. Internationally, our sustainable market advantages continue to be our knowledge of global standards, the diversity of our product offering and the fact that we manufacture our own products. This provides our customers with product selection, quality, delivery and customer service that we believe is unmatched in the market place. In FY13, one customer accounted for 7% of sales.

Research and Development

We continue to evaluate and engineer new or innovative products. In the past five years, we have acquired or introduced 121 new products, the more prominent of which are the Micromax® line of disposable protective clothing; multiple new configured lines of fire retardant work coveralls and fire turnout gear in Brazil, China and the USA; approximately 40 new lines of Hi-Visibility products; a SARS protective medical gown for Chinese hospital personnel; the Despro®, Grapolator™ and Microgard® antimicrobial cut protective glove and sleeve lines for food service; our patented Thermbar™ Mock Twist that provides heat protection for temperatures up to 600°F; 20 new lines of gloves and our new ChemMax® 1, 2, 3, 4, Interceptor and other fabrics for protection against intermediate chemical threats. We own 18 patents on various fabrics, patterns and production machinery.

We plan to continue investing in research and development to improve protective apparel fabrics and the manufacturing equipment used to make apparel. Specifically, we plan to continue to develop new specially knit and coated gloves, woven gowns for industrial and laboratory uses, fire retardant cotton fabrics and protective nonwoven fabrics. During FY13 and FY12, we spent approximately $240,000 and $430,000, respectively, on research and development.

To insure that our development activities are properly directed, we are active participants in standards writing. We are represented on a number of relevant ASTM International and the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) committees and participate in NFPA standards writing meetings. Internationally, we participate in the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO through the ASTM and monitor CEN activities through our European offices.

Suppliers and Materials

Our largest supplier in FY13 was Southern Mills, from whom we purchased 11.7% of our total purchases. In FY12, our largest supplier was DuPont, from whom we purchased 13.9% of our total purchases.

We do not have long-term, formal trademark use agreements with any other suppliers of nonwoven fabric raw materials used by us in the production of our limited use/disposable protective clothing product lines. Materials, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, spun laced polyester, melt blown polypropylene and their derivatives and laminates, are available from 30 or more major mills. FR fabrics are also available from a number of both domestic and international mills. The accessories used in the production of our disposable garments, such as thread, boxes, snaps and elastics, are obtained from unaffiliated suppliers. We have not experienced difficulty in obtaining our requirements for these commodity component items.

13

We have not experienced difficulty in obtaining materials, including cotton, polyester and nylon, used in the production of reusable nonwovens and commodity gloves. We obtain Honeywell Spectra® yarn, used in our super cut-resistant Dextra Guard gloves and Kevlar®, used in the production of our specialty safety gloves, from independent mills that purchase the fibers from DuPont.

Materials used in our fire and heat protective suits include glass fabric, aluminized glass, Nomex®, aluminized Nomex®, Kevlar®, aluminized Kevlar®, polybenzimidazole, as well as combinations utilizing neoprene coatings. Traditional chemical protective suits are made of Viton®, butyl rubber and polyvinyl chloride, all of which are available from multiple sources. Advanced chemical protective suits are made from our proprietary ChemMax® 1, 2, 3, 4 and Interceptor®. We have not experienced difficulty obtaining any of these materials.

Internal Audit

We have an internal audit group located in Alabama and China consisting of a manager and an auditor who have direct access to the audit committee of our board of directors. The team’s primary function is to insure our internal control system is functioning properly. Additionally, the team is used from time to time to perform operational audits to determine areas of business improvements. Working in close cooperation with the audit committee, senior management and the external auditors, the internal audit function supports management to ensure that we are in compliance with all aspects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Competition

Our business is highly competitive due to large competitors who have monopolistic positions in the fabrics that are standards in the industry in disposable and high end chemical suits. We believe that the barriers to entry in the reusable garments and gloves are relatively low. We face competition in some of our other product markets from large established companies that have greater financial, research and development, sales and technical resources. Where larger competitors, such as DuPont, Kimberly Clark, Ansell Edmont and Honeywell, offer products that are directly competitive with our products, particularly as part of an established line of products, there can be no assurance that we can successfully compete for sales and customers. Larger competitors outside of our Disposable and Chemical Suit Lines also may be able to benefit from economies of scale and technological innovation and may introduce new products that compete with our products.

Seasonality

Our operations have historically been moderately seasonal, with higher sales generally occurring in March, April and May when scheduled maintenance on nuclear, coal, oil and gas fired utilities, chemical, petrochemical and smelting facilities, and other heavy industrial manufacturing plants occurs, primarily due to moderate spring temperatures and low energy demands. Sales decline during the warmer summer vacation months and gradually increase from Labor Day through February with slight declines during holidays, such as Christmas. As a result of this seasonality in our sales, we have historically experienced a corresponding seasonality in our working capital, specifically inventories, with peak inventories occurring between December and May, coinciding with lead times required to accommodate the spring maintenance schedules. We believe that by sustaining higher levels of inventory, we gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Certain of our large customers seek sole sourcing to avoid sourcing their requirements from multiple vendors whose prices, delivery times and quality standards differ.

In recent years, due to increased demand by first responders for our chemical suits and fire gear, our historical seasonal pattern has shifted. Governmental disbursements are dependent upon budgetary processes and grant administration processes that do not follow our traditional seasonal sales patterns. Due to the size and timing of these governmental orders, our net sales, results of operations, working capital requirements and cash flows can vary between different reporting periods. As a result, we expect to experience increased variability in net sales, net income, working capital requirements and cash flows on a quarterly basis.

Patents and Trademarks

We own 18 patents and have one patent in the application and approval process with the US Patent and Trademark Office. We own 29 Trademarks and have six Trademarks in the application and approval process. Intellectual property rights that apply to our various products include patents, trade secrets, trademarks and to a lesser extent copyrights. We maintain an active program to protect our technology by ensuring respect for our intellectual property rights.

Employees

As of January 31, 2013, we had 1,652 full-time employees, 1,513, or 92%, of whom were employed in our international facilities, and 139, or 8%, of whom were employed in our domestic facilities. An aggregate of 1,300 of our employees are members of unions. We are not currently a party to any collective bargaining agreements or any other contracts with these unions. We believe our employee relations to be excellent.

14

Environmental Matters

We are subject to various foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection, chemical control, and health and safety laws and regulations, and we incur costs to comply with those laws. We own and lease real property, and certain environmental laws hold current or previous owners or operators of businesses and real property responsible for contamination on or originating from property, even if they did not know of or were not responsible for the contamination. The presence of hazardous substances on any of our properties or the failure to meet environmental regulatory requirements could affect our ability to use or to sell the property or to use the property as collateral for borrowing, and could result in substantial remediation or compliance costs. If hazardous substances are released from or located on any of our properties, we could incur substantial costs and damages.

Although we have not in the past had any material costs or damages associated with environmental claims or compliance, and we do not currently anticipate any such costs or damages, we cannot guarantee that we will not incur material costs or damages in the future as a result of the discovery of new facts or conditions, acquisition of new properties, the release of hazardous substances, a change in interpretation of existing environmental laws or the adoption of new environmental laws.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risks before investing in our common stock. These are not the only risks that we may face. If any of the events referred to below actually occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should also refer to the other information in this Form 10-K and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 contains a going concern explanatory paragraph in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have sustained substantial operating losses since in FY13 and we are in default with our lender, TD Bank. During the year ended January 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $(26.3) million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Brazil incurred operating losses of $1.4 million for the fourth quarter and $1.6 million for the full FY13.

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses from our Brazilian operations for at least the first half of FY14. Unless we are able to establish a new credit facility, we believe that our current cash position of $6.7 million, our cash flow from operations and, borrowing in Brazil and the United Kingdom, may not be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operating, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. Management engaged Raymond James to explore strategic options. In May 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to certain terms and conditions and is currently working towards closing this financing. However, no assurance can be given that this transaction or any other transaction will be consummated.

There is a risk if we are not successful in the current refinancing transaction.

If the Company cannot consummate the financing deal with the bank presently underway, there are several options available to the Company. There are several other lending proposals with acceptable terms received by the Company. Alternatively the Company could be sold. A further risk is that TD Bank would not accept either alternative. TD Bank has the right to call the entire outstanding balance on the TD credit facility.

Covenants in our credit facilities may restrict our financial and operating flexibility and we are currently in default on this facility.

We currently have one credit facility: $23.5 million revolving credit facility which commenced January 2010, of which we had $15.1 million of borrowings outstanding as of January 31, 2013, expiring June 2013. Our current credit facility requires, and any future credit facilities may also require, that we comply with specified financial covenants relating to interest coverage, debt coverage, minimum consolidated net worth and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our ability to satisfy these financial covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot guarantee that we will meet the requirements of these covenants. These restrictive covenants could affect our financial and operational flexibility or impede our ability to operate or expand our business. Default under our credit facilities would allow the lenders to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. Our lenders have a security interest in substantially all of our assets to secure the debt under our current credit facilities, and it is likely that our future lenders will have security interests in our assets. If our lenders declare amounts outstanding under any credit facility to be due, the lenders could proceed against our assets. Any event of default, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We are currently in default of our current loan facility. While Lakeland has signed a commitment letter with another bank as discussed in Note 6 to the Financial Statements, there is no assurance that Lakeland can successfully refinance.

We may need additional funds, and if we are unable to obtain these funds, we may not be able to expand or operate our business as planned.

Our operations require significant amounts of cash, and we may be required to seek additional capital, whether from sales of equity or by borrowing money, to fund acquisitions for the future growth and development of our business or to fund our operations and inventory, particularly in the event of a market downturn. In May 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to certain terms and conditions and is currently working towards closing this financing. However, no assurance can be given that this transaction or any other transaction will be consummated.

We incurred a significant loss in the fourth quarter and for the full fiscal year in FY13 and there can be no assurance that such losses will not continue.

For the fourth quarter of FY13 and for the full fiscal year, we incurred net losses of approximately $18.0 million and $26.3million, respectively. Such losses primarily arose from (a) the write-down in Brazil of goodwill and intangible assets, (b) the arbitration settlement in Brazil and (c) the termination of our supply agreement with DuPont de Nemours. More specifically, in the fourth quarter of FY14, we recorded an impairment charge of $10.0 million. FY13 also reflected a charge of $7.9 million in respect of the adverse arbitration judgment in Brazil suffered during the year and a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $4.5 million. In addition, for FY13, we had an operating loss from continuing operations of $1.0 million, as compared to an operating profit from continuing operations of $1.7 million in FY12. There can be no assurance that we will revert back to profitability.

We are required to make, in the near future, substantial cash payments in respect of the settlement agreement.

Cash payments are required relating to the settlement agreement resulting from the arbitration award in Brazil significant and further described in Note 4 to the Financial Statements. As of April 1, 2013, the remaining liability associated with the settlement agreement is $5.75 million and is payable $250,000 a quarter over the next 5 ¾ years, with no interest. Default on this obligation will have serious negative consequences.

We are subject to risk as a result of our international manufacturing operations.

Because most of our products are manufactured at our facilities located in China, Brazil and Mexico, our operations are subject to risk inherent in doing business internationally. Such risks include the adverse effects on operations from corruption, war, international terrorism, civil disturbances, political instability, governmental activities, deprivation of contract and property rights and currency valuation changes.

Brazil, in particular, operates in an extremely difficult climate and has had several significant issues resulting in the arbitration loss and impairment charges discussed in Note 4 and Note 5 to the Financial Statement, respectively.

Since 1978, the Chinese government has been reforming its economic and political systems, and we expect this to continue. Although we believe that these reforms have had a positive effect on the economic development of China and have improved our ability to successfully operate our facilities in China, we cannot assure you that these reforms will continue or that the Chinese government will not take actions that impair our operations or assets in China. In addition, periods of international unrest may impede our ability to manufacture goods in other countries, such as Mexico presently, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The termination of our supply agreement with DuPont adversely affected our recent results of operations and will continue to do so for at least the immediate future.

By notice given to us in July 2011, E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”) terminated, effective September 10, 2011, the agreement by virtue of which DuPont supplied to us garments made from their proprietary Tyvek and Tychem fabrics. Products containing these fabrics constituted 50% and 59% of our North American revenues in FY12 and FY11, respectively. As a consequence, our results of operations in FY13 were adversely affected. Since 2005, we have been introducing alternative fabrics to Tyvek and Tychem. These fabrics are available to us from other textile mills and we believe that they do everything and, in some instances, more than Tyvek and Tychem materials do in the way of protection and comfort. Our strategy is to switch customers out of Tyvek and Tychem fabrics into our existing alternative products, which offer better margins than the DuPont-related product lines. The impact of our strategy will be determined by how many customers switch over to our proprietary product lines from the DuPont-related product lines and when the switching will occur. There can be no assurance that the adverse effect will not extend to a significantly longer period of time or that it will not be permanent.

17

If such financing does not close, there is no assurance that we will be able to replace or renew the current credit facility, which is currently in default, on terms that are favorable to us or at all. In addition, a number of factors could affect our ability to access debt or equity financing, including:

| · | Our financial condition, strength and credit rating;

| · | The financial markets’ confidence in our management team and financial reporting;

| · | General economic conditions and the conditions in the homeland security sector; and

| · | Capital markets conditions.

Even if available, additional financing will be more costly than our current facility and may have adverse consequences. If additional funds are raised through the incurrence of debt, we will incur increased debt servicing costs and may become subject to additional restrictive financial and other covenants. We can give no assurance as to the terms or availability of additional capital. If we are not successful in obtaining sufficient capital, it could reduce our net sales and materially adversely impact our earning capability and financial position.

Our results of operations could be negatively affected by potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Most of our assembly arrangements with our foreign-based subsidiaries or third-party suppliers require payment to be made in US dollars. Any decrease in the value of the US dollar in relation to foreign currencies could increase the cost of the services provided to us upon contract expirations or supply renegotiations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase product prices to offset any such cost increases, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks as a result of our sales in foreign countries. Our net sales to customers in South America, Canada, Asia and EEC were $44 million USD, in FY13. Our sales in these countries are usually denominated in the local currency. If the value of the US dollar increases relative to these local currencies, and we are unable to raise our prices proportionally, then our profit margins could decrease because of the exchange rate change. Although our labor, some fabric and component costs in China are denominated in the Chinese Yuan, this currency has historically been largely pegged to the US dollar, which has minimized our foreign currency exchange rate risk in China. Recently, however, the Chinese Yuan has been allowed to float against the US dollar and, therefore, we may be exposed to additional foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not fully hedge the Brazilian Real as it costs approximately 9% a year to do so and management has deemed this not to be cost effective. This risk will also increase in the event that as we continue to increase our sales in other foreign countries. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk-Foreign Currency Risk.”

Our results of operations may vary widely from quarter to quarter.

Our quarterly results of operations have varied and are expected to continue to vary in the future. These fluctuations may be caused by many factors, including:

| · | The size and timing of individual sales in Brazil;

| · | Currency volatility;

| · | Our expansion of international operations;

| · | Competitive pricing pressures;

| · | Seasonal buying patterns resulting from the cyclical nature of the business of some of our customers;

| · | Changes in the mix of products and services sold;

| · | The timing of introductions and enhancements of products by us or our competitors;

| · | Market acceptance of new products;

| · | Technological changes in fabrics or production equipment used to make our products;

18

| · | Changes in the mix of domestic and international sales;

| · | Personnel changes; and

| · | General industry and economic conditions.

These variations could negatively impact our stock price.

Rapid technological change could negatively affect sales of our products and our performance.

The rapid development of fabric technology continually affects our apparel applications and may directly impact the performance of our products. We cannot assure you that we will successfully maintain or improve the effectiveness of our existing products, nor can we assure you that we will successfully identify new opportunities or continue to have the needed financial resources to develop new fabric or apparel manufacturing techniques in a timely or cost-effective manner. In addition, products manufactured by others may render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. If any of these events occur, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely affected.

Because we do not have long-term commitments from many of our customers, we must estimate customer demand, and errors in our estimates could negatively impact our inventory levels and net sales.

Our sales are generally made on the basis of individual purchase orders, which may later be modified or canceled by the customer, rather than long-term commitments. We have historically been required to place firm orders for fabrics and components with our suppliers prior to receiving an order for our products, based on our forecasts of customer demands. Our sales process requires us to make multiple demand forecast assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates, causing excess inventory to accrue or a lack of manufacturing capacity when needed. If we overestimate customer demand, we may allocate resources to manufacturing products that we may not be able to sell when we expect or at all. As a result, we would have excess inventory, which would negatively impact our financial results. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand or if insufficient manufacturing capacity is available, we would lose sales opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer relationships. On occasion, we have been unable to adequately respond to delivery dates required by our customers because of the lead time needed for us to obtain required materials or to send fabrics to our assembly facilities in China, Brazil and Mexico. We must recruit and retain skilled employees, including our senior management, to succeed in our business.

Our operations are substantially dependent upon key personnel.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued services and performance of our senior management and certain other key personnel, including Christopher J. Ryan, our Chief Executive Officer, president and secretary, Gary Pokrassa, our Chief Financial Officer, and Stephen Bachelder, our Chief Operating Officer. The loss of services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any future expansion of our business will depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled managerial, marketing, customer service and manufacturing personnel, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

19

We rely on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for specific fabrics and we may not be able to obtain substitute suppliers and manufacturers on terms that are as favorable, or at all, if our supplies are interrupted.

Our business is dependent to a significant degree upon close relationships with vendors and our ability to purchase raw materials at competitive prices. The loss of key vendor support could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We do not have multiyear supply contracts with any of our other finished goods or fabric suppliers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire raw materials and components at competitive prices or on competitive terms in the future.

Other than our previous purchases of Tyvek® and TyChem® from DuPont, and current purchases of Kevlar® and Nomex® fabrics, all of which we have bought either directly or indirectly from DuPont since 1986, we generally use standard fabrics and components in our products. We rely on nonaffiliated suppliers and manufacturers for the supply of these fabrics and components that are incorporated in our products. If such suppliers or manufacturers experience financial, operational, manufacturing capacity or quality assurance difficulties, or if there is a disruption in our relationships, we will be required to locate alternative sources of supply. We cannot assure you that we will be able to locate such alternative sources. In addition, we do not have any long-term contracts with any of our suppliers for any of these components. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of these components, if and as required in the future, may result in:

| · | Interruptions and delays in manufacturing and resulting cancellations of orders for our products;

| · | Increases in fabrics or component prices that we may not be able to pass on to our customers; and

| · | Our holding more inventory than normal because we cannot finish assembling our products until we have all of the components.

We deal in countries where corruption is an obstacle.

We must comply with American laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and Sarbanes-Oxley, and also with recently passed anti-corruption legislation in the U K. Some of our competitors and customers in foreign jurisdictions may not adhere to such legislation. As a result, we believe that we lose sales orders due to our strict adherence to such regulations.

We face competition from other companies, a number of which have substantially greater resources than we do.

Three of our competitors, DuPont, Honeywell and Kimberly Clark, have substantially greater financial, marketing and sales resources than we do. In addition, we believe that the barriers to entry in the disposable and reusable garments and gloves markets are relatively low. We cannot assure you that our present competitors or competitors that choose to enter the marketplace in the future will not exert significant competitive pressures. Such competition could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and results of operations. For further discussion of the competition we face in our business, see “Business-Competition.”

Some of our sales are to foreign buyers, which exposes us to additional risks.

We derived approximately 57.2% of our net sales from customers located in foreign countries in FY13. We intend to increase the amount of foreign sales we make in the future. The additional risks of foreign sales include:

| · | Potential adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

| · | Higher credit risks;

| · | Restrictive trade policies of foreign governments;

| · | Currency hyperinflation and weak banking institutions;

| · | Changing economic conditions in local markets;

| · | Political and economic instability in foreign markets; and

| · | Changes in leadership of foreign governments.

Some or all of these risks may negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

A significant reduction in government funding for preparations for terrorist incidents could adversely affect our net sales.

As a general matter, a significant portion of our sales growth to our distributors is dependent upon resale by those distributors to customers that are funded in large part by federal, state and local government funding. Specifically, depending on the year, approximately 20% of our high-end chemical suit sales are dependent on government funding. Congress passed the 2001 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program and the Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002. Both of these Acts provide for funding to fire and police departments and medical and emergency personnel to respond to terrorist incidents. Appropriations for these Acts by the federal government could be reduced or eliminated altogether. Any such reduction or elimination of federal funding, or any reductions in state or local funding, could cause sales of our products purchased by fire and police departments and medical and emergency personnel to decline.

20

We may be subject to product liability claims, and insurance coverage could be inadequate or unavailable to cover these claims.

We manufacture products used for protection from hazardous or potentially lethal substances, such as chemical and biological toxins, fire, viruses and bacteria. The products that we manufacture are typically used in applications and situations that involve high levels of risk of personal injury. Failure to use our products for their intended purposes, failure to use our products properly or the malfunction of our products could result in serious bodily injury to or death of the user. In such cases, we may be subject to product liability claims arising from the design, manufacture or sale of our products. If these claims are decided against us, and we are found to be liable, we may be required to pay substantial damages, and our insurance costs may increase significantly as a result. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claim. In addition, we cannot assure you that this or any other insurance coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that we will be able to obtain it at a reasonable cost. Any material uninsured loss could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Environmental laws and regulations may subject us to significant liabilities.

Our US operations, including our manufacturing facilities, are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations relating to the discharge, storage, treatment, handling, disposal and remediation of certain materials, substances and wastes. Any violation of any of those laws and regulations could cause us to incur substantial liability to the Environmental Protection Agency, the state environmental agencies in any affected state or to any individuals affected by any such violation. Any such liability could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely.

The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results, announcements of new products or services by us or our competitors and other events or factors. For example, a shortfall in net sales or net income, or an increase in losses, from levels expected by securities analysts, could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the market price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many micro and small capitalization companies and that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, may adversely affect the market price for our common stock.

Our directors and executive officers have the ability to exert significant influence on our Company and on matters subject to a vote of our stockholders.

As of January 31, 2013, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned or could vote approximately 10.25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of their ownership of common stock and their positions in our Company, our directors and executive officers are able to exert significant influence on our Company and on matters submitted to a vote by our stockholders. In particular, as of January 31, 2013, Christopher J. Ryan, our chief executive officer, president and secretary and a director, beneficially owned or votes approximately 8.76% of our common stock. The ownership interests of our directors and executive officers, including Mr. Ryan, could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our Company that may be favored by our stockholders generally.

Provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Delaware law could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult.

Our restated certificate of incorporation contains classified board provisions, authorized preferred stock that could be utilized to implement various “poison pill” defenses and a stockholder authorized, but as yet unused, Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), all of which may have the effect of discouraging a takeover of Lakeland, which is not approved by our board of directors. Further, we are subject to the antitakeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibit us from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the prescribed manner.

21

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls or are unable to remediate a material weakness in our internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, and investors’ views of us could be harmed.

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis involves substantial effort that needs to be reevaluated frequently. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We have documented and tested our internal controls and procedures for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Based upon an evaluation performed as of January 31, 2013 and throughout FY13, we have identified a material weakness surrounding our internal control over international financial reporting and review. In response to the material weakness management is restructuring its international financial review process and believes these changes will remediate the issue. Further, this weakness did not result in any significant adjustment to the financial statements.

Acquisitions could be unsuccessful.

In the future, subject to capital constraints, we may seek to acquire selected safety products lines or safety-related businesses which will complement our existing products. Our ability to acquire these businesses is dependent upon many factors, including our management’s relationship with the owners of these businesses, many of which are small and closely held by individual stockholders. In addition, we will be competing for acquisition and expansion opportunities with other companies, many of which have greater name recognition, marketing support and financial resources than us, which may result in fewer acquisition opportunities for us, as well as higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, pursue or acquire any targeted business and, if acquired, there can be no assurance that we will be able to profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate acquired business into our company without substantial costs, delays and other operational or financial problems.

If we proceed with additional acquisitions for cash, we may use a substantial portion of our available line of credit (if available) in order to consummate any such acquisition. We may also seek to finance any such acquisition through debt or equity financings, and there can be no assurance that such financings will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If consideration for an acquisition consists of equity securities, our stockholders could be diluted. If we borrow funds in order to finance an acquisition, we may not be able to obtain such funds on terms that are favorable to us. In addition, such indebtedness may limit our ability to operate our business as we currently intend because of restrictions placed on us under the terms of the indebtedness and because we may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on the debt instead of to our operations, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage.

Acquisitions involve a number of special risks in addition to those mentioned above, including the diversion of management’s attention to the assimilation of the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies, potential exposure to unknown liabilities, adverse effects on our reported operating results and the amortization or write down of acquired intangible assets. We cannot assure you that any acquisition by us will or will not occur, that if an acquisition does occur that it will not materially and adversely affect our results of operations or that any such acquisition will be successful in enhancing our business. To the extent that we are unable to manage growth efficiently and effectively or are unable to attract and retain additional qualified management personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.

Global cybersecurity threats can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our information technology (IT) systems to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats. While we employ comprehensive measures to prevent, detect, address and mitigate these threats (including access controls, data encryption, vulnerability assessments, continuous monitoring of our IT networks and systems and maintenance of backup and protective systems), cybersecurity incidents, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties) and the disruption of business operations. The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident include reputational damage, litigation with third parties, diminution in the value of our investment in research, development and engineering, and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness and results of operations.

* FY09 only reflected three quarters of Brazilian operations. Brazil ran a much higher gross margin with higher operating costs. Further, we do not hedge against foreign exchange (FX) movements in the Brazilian currency. In FY11 we had an FX gain and in FY12 and FY13 a FX loss in Brazil.

Repurchase of Securities

We repurchased our Common Stock during FY09, FY10, FY11 and FY12. The Company initiated a stock repurchase program on February 21, 2008, and has repurchased 125,322 shares as of April 14, 2010. The Company initiated a second stock repurchase program on December 7, 2010, and has repurchased 231,119 shares through February 9, 2011. There were no further stock repurchases.

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed business information and consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Form 10-K and in the documents that we incorporate by reference into this Form 10-K. This document may contain certain “forward-looking” information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Overview

FY13 was a challenging year for management. The Company lost an officer contract dispute where we had substantial documentary evidence that the officer in question had breached his employment contract with Lakeland. Nonetheless, a Brazilian Arbitration Panel awarded this officer a $12.5 million judgment against Lakeland. According to our local counsel, arbitration decisions in Brazil are very difficult to successfully appeal. Subsequently, Lakeland successfully negotiated the judgment down to $8.5 million of which $6.0 million was payable over six years with no interest. As of April 1, 2013, the remaining liability associated with this arbitration judgment is $5.75 million and is payable at $250,000 a quarter over the next 5 ¾ years, with no interest. In addition, the Brazilian government devalued its currency by 10% in 2012 which greatly reduced our margins in Brazil on imported fabrics.

Declining sales in FY13 led to quarterly losses in Brazil, which led to the necessity of writing off all goodwill, certain intangibles, and deferred tax assets of Brazil. These factors led to a default on the TD Bank loan, which in turn created substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Thus, we engaged with new lenders and considered other options, such as the sale of the Company, the sale of assets which has occurred, and a refinance of the TD Bank loan. In May 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to certain terms and conditions and is currently working towards closing this financing. However, no assurance can be given that this transaction or any other transaction will be consummated. We will continue pursuing all options to maximize stockholder value.

As a result of the default under the TD Bank loan, and the risk that such loan could be called as immediately due and payable, we were unable to conclude that we would have the capital to continue our operations through January 31, 2014. Successful completion of the proposed new financing, in management’s opinion, would relieve this condition.

We manufacture and sell a comprehensive line of safety garments and accessories for the global industrial protective clothing markets. Our products are sold by our in-house sales force and independent sales representatives to a network of over 1,200 North American safety and mill supply distributors and end users and distributors internationally. These distributors in turn supply end user industrial customers, such as integrated oil, utilities, chemical/petrochemical, automobile, steel, glass, construction, smelting, janitorial, pharmaceutical and high technology electronics manufacturers. In addition, we supply federal, state and local governmental agencies and departments domestically and internationally, such as municipal fire and police departments, airport crash rescue units, the military, the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control and state and privately owned utilities and integrated oil companies.

We have operated -facilities in Mexico since 1995, in China since 1996, in India since 2007 (now discontinued) and in Brazil since May 2008. Beginning in 1995, we moved the labor intensive sewing operation for our limited use/disposable protective clothing lines to these facilities. Our facilities and capabilities in China and Mexico allow access to a less expensive labor pool than is available in the United States and permit us to purchase certain raw materials at a lower cost than they are available domestically. As we have increasingly moved production of our products to our facilities in Mexico and China, we have seen improvements in the profit margins for these products. We have completed the process of moving of production of our reusable woven garments and gloves to these facilities by the second quarter of FY10. Our net sales from continuing operations attributable to customers outside the United States were $54.4 million and $45.8 million in FY13 and FY12, respectively.

28

We anticipate R&D expenses remaining flat at $240,000 in FY14 compared to FY13. This is due largely to expenses for a development project that we incurred in FY13 coupled with the anticipated elimination of several projects as a part of our product rationalization process, which is ongoing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base estimates on our past experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we periodically evaluate these estimates.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Going Concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with GAAP and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have sustained substantial operating losses since in FY13 and we are in default with our lender, TD Bank. During the year ended January 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $(26.3) million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses from our Brazilian operations for at least the first half of FY14. Unless we are able to have in place a new credit facility, we believe that our current cash position of $6.7 million, our cash flow from operations and, borrowing in Brazil and the United Kingdom, may not be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operating, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. To this end, in May 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to certain terms and conditions and is currently working towards closing this financing. However, no assurance can be given that this transaction or any other transaction will be consummated.

If management is unable to successfully implement its cost reduction strategies or to complete any other financing, that would impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

Revenue Recognition. The Company derives its sales primarily from its limited use/disposable protective clothing and secondarily from its sales of high-end chemical protective suits, firefighting and heat protective apparel, gloves and arm guards and reusable woven garments. Sales are recognized when goods are shipped, at which time title and the risk of loss pass to the customer. Some sales in Brazil may be sold on terms with F.O.B. destination, which are recognized when received by the customer. Sales are reduced for sales returns and allowances. Payment terms are generally net 30 days for United States sales and net 90 days for international sales.

Inventories. Inventories include freight-in, materials, labor and overhead costs and are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Inventory is written down for slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory.

In the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company changed its estimate used in calculating slow moving inventory in the US. Previously, the Company reserved for any item in excess of 5 years stock on hand based on annualized sales levels. The Company has determined that based on its needs to service customers, up to a two year supply may be needed. Therefore, the Company now writes down anything in excess of a two year supply. The change in estimate resulted in an additional write down of $288,000 at January 31, 2013. Most foreign operations consider inventory obsolete or slow-moving when more than one year supply exists.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts:

29

Customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other less creditworthy accounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

Income Taxes and Valuation Allowances. We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate as part of preparing our consolidated financial statements. This involves estimating the actual current tax in addition to assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences, together with net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits, are recorded as deferred tax assets or liabilities on our balance sheet. A judgment must then be made of the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. A valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event we determine that we may not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax asset in the future, or that new estimates indicate that a previously recorded valuation allowance is no longer required, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is charged or credited to net income in the period of such determination.

Uncertain Tax Positions. In the event the Company determines that it may not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, or that new estimates indicate that a previously recorded valuation allowance is no longer required, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is charged or credited to income in the period of such determination. The Company recognizes tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” minimum recognition threshold.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and indefinite lived, intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually; however, these tests may be performed more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill impairment is evaluated utilizing a two-step process as required by US GAAP. Factors that the Company considers important that could identify a potential impairment include: significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the overall business strategy; and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company measures any potential impairment on a projected discounted cash flow method. Estimating future cash flows requires the Company’s management to make projections that can differ materially from actual results.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset are separately identifiable and are less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset.

Foreign Currency Risks. The functional currency for the Brazil operation is the Brazil Real; the United Kingdom, the Euro; the trading company in China, the RenminBi; the Canada Real Estate, the Canadian dollar; and the Russia operation, the Russian Ruble and Kazakhstan Tenge. All other operations have the US dollar as its functional currency.

Self-Insured Liabilities. We have a self-insurance program for certain employee health benefits. The cost of such benefits is recognized as expense based on claims filed in each reporting period and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported during such period. Our estimate of claims incurred but not reported is based upon historical trends. If more claims are made than were estimated or if the costs of actual claims increase beyond what was anticipated, reserves recorded may not be sufficient, and additional accruals may be required in future periods. We maintain separate insurance to cover the excess liability over set single claim amounts and aggregate annual claim amounts.

Significant Balance Sheet Fluctuation January 31, 2013, as Compared to January 31, 2012

Balance Sheet Accounts. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million is primarily the result of normal fluctuations in cash management. Inventories decreased $6.4 million primarily due to sell off of remaining Tyvek inventory by January 31, 2013, overall inventory reduction program and the sale of inventory in Brazil built up for the Navy contract. The decrease in intangibles and goodwill of $9.3 million is due to the write down of these assets in Brazil. The decrease of $4.5 million in the current deferred tax assets is due to the creation of a valuation allowance for such accounts. The borrowing in Brazil was used for working capital. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million is primarily the result of careful cash management to enable Brazilian arbitration settlement payments through cash generated by current assets and liabilities, inventory and payables management. Trade payables increased in FY13 due to increased purchases of materials in China, Argentina and Chile with longer payment terms and cash management in the US.

Net Sales*. Net sales from continuing operations decreased $1.2 million, or 1.3%, to $95.1 million for the year ended January 31, 2013, compared to $96.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2012. The net decrease was mainly due to a $9.8 million decrease in domestic sales, partially offset by a $8.6 million increase in foreign sales. The net decrease in the US was comprised mainly of a decrease in US disposables sales, resulting from the loss of the Tyvek license from DuPont. This decrease in US sales was offset by significant increases in foreign sales, including a $1.2 million increase in sales by Qualytextil, SA in Brazil, a $3.2 million increase in European sales and a $1.8 million growth in combined Chile and Argentina sales. External sales from China were flat for the fourth quarter FY13 but were up for the full year 15.7%. Sales in Brazil have decreased in Q4FY13and we expect next fiscal year’s sales to be lower in Brazil.

Net sales from continuing operations in Q4 FY13 increased by $3.2 million, or 16.0%, to $23.4 million from Q4 of FY12. This increase was due to an increase in foreign sales, from $10.6 million in Q4 FY12 to $11.3 million in Q4 FY13 Of these amounts, sales in Brazil were $2.7 million and $2.7 million for Q4 of FY12 and FY13, respectively.

*For purposes of the Management’s Discussion, the reference to “Q” shall mean “Quarter.” Thus “Q2” means the second quarter of the applicable fiscal year.

32

Gross Profit. Gross profit from continuing operations decreased $1.5 million, or 5.1%, to $27.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2013, from $28.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 28.7% for the year ended January 31, 2013, from 29.9% for the year ended January 31, 2012. The major factors driving the changes in gross margins were:

| · | Disposables gross margin increased by 4.0 percentage points in FY13 compared with FY12. This increase was mainly due to changes in the sales mix to primarily Lakeland branded products this year, while last year had more than 50% of North American disposable sales were sales of DuPont products at a lower margin. This year’s margin was lower than it otherwise would be as a result of lower volume and an increase in inventory reserves against Tyvek items remaining.

| · | Brazil gross margin was 31.1% for this year compared with 42.8% last year, primarily due to issues with a contract with the Brazilian Navy. The Brazilian currency weakened significantly earlier in the year, thereby greatly increasing the cost of material purchased from a USA supplier. Further, due to the length of time elapsed since the bid was submitted in respect of the Navy contract, there were increases in the material cost, along with a need to change certain components at a higher cost. There were also similar issues with several utility contracts.

| · | Glove margins increased 5.0 percentage points primarily from improved product mix.

| · | Chemical margins were decreased by 8.5 percentage points due to different sales mix.

| · | Canada gross margin decreased by 1.9 percentage point primarily due to discounting remaining Tyvek inventory.

| · | UK margins decreased by 1.5 percentage points primarily from higher volume from larger sales at lower margins.

| · | Argentina margins decreased by 9.2 percentage points due to lack of capital.

| · | Chile margins increased by 8.1 percentage points as a result of stronger sales mix.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses from continuing operations increased $1.3 million, or 4.9%, to $28.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2013, from $27.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2012. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased to 29.8% for the year ended January 31, 2013, from 28.1% for the year ended January 31, 2012. The increase in operating expenses in the year ended January 31, 2013, as compared to the year ended January 31, 2012, included:

· | $0.7 | million increase in sales salaries due to the hiring of additional sales people to support growth in the US, Asia, and South America.
· | $0.6 | million increase in commissions, of which 0.5 million was in Brazil, relating to higher commissions on large bid contracts delivered in Q1-Q3 of FY13.
· | $0.1 | million increase in sales administrative salaries due to increase in customer service capacity in Alabama.
· | $0.1 | million increase in insurance due to increased claims experience.
· | $0.1 | million increase in employee benefits due to increase in unemployment expense.
· | $0.1 | million increase in bad debt resulting from one large account in Chile.
· | $0.2 | million increase in professional fees as a result of the issues in Brazil.
· | (0.1) | million decrease in administrative salaries, which includes a $0.6 million accrual for the contract termination of the President of the Brazilian subsidiary offset against $(0.7) million reduction in administrative salaries in Brazil, throughout the year, which is the result of our efforts to reduce costs. 10 employees in administration and sales were terminated in Brazil in FY13. A new law was passed in Brazil resulting in lower payroll taxes, officers in Brazil took a 10% payroll cut for two quarters, and the depreciated currency resulted in lower payroll expense in Brazil.
· | $(0.2) | million decrease in research and development due to large R&D expenses in FY12.
· | $(0.3) | million in decreased freight out expense due to more consolidated shipping and better management oversight.

Operating Profit/(Loss). Operating profit/(loss) from continuing operations decreased by $2.7 million to $(1.0) million from $1.7 million for the prior year. Operating profit as a percentage of net sales decreased (1.1)% for the year ended January 31, 2013, from 1.8% for the year ended January 31, 2012, primarily due to sharply lower volume in disposables in the US due to the termination of the Company’s Tyvek and Tychem supply agreement by DuPont, a $0.6 million charge for contract termination of the President of the Brazilian subsidiary, issues in Brazil with the Navy and other contracts caused by a currency devaluation earlier in the year and weak volume in Brazil, mainly due to lack of large bid contracts in Q4 of FY13. Without Brazil’s FY13 operating loss of $1.6 million, the Company would have had operating income of $0.6 million.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2013, compared to the year ended January 31, 2012, because of term loan borrowing in 2012 to fund capital expansion in Brazil and Mexico outstanding throughout FY13 and also borrowing in Brazil at higher rates prevailing in Brazil and the US. Further, the Company paid higher interest rates on its TD facility in FY13 as a result of several amendments during FY13.

Other Expenses - Net. The increase in other expenses resulted mainly from the $10.0 million write down of goodwill in Brazil and the $7.9 million arbitration settlement, with two of the former owners of the Company’s subsidiary in Brazil.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expenses from continuing operations consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. Income tax expense increased $5.3 million to $5.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2013, from $(0.3) million for the year ended January 31, 2012. Our effective tax rate was meaningless for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. Our effective tax rate varied from the federal statutory rate of 34% due primarily to the $7.9 million arbitration settlement in Brazil, which did not get a tax benefit, $10.0 million goodwill write-off in Brazil and the establishment of a $4.5 million valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Our income taxes in the current year were benefited by losses in the US and a “check-the-box” US tax benefit from the losses in India at a higher rate than most of the foreign income. Further, there was a $4.5 million valuation allowance charged to tax expense this year relating to the deferred tax asset.

Net Income/(Loss). Net income/(loss) from continuing operations decreased $26.9 million to a loss of $(25.8) million for the year ended January 31, 2013, from $1.1 million for the year ended January 31, 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily a result of arbitration settlement and goodwill impairment charge in Brazil (see Notes 4 and 5 for full discussion).

Fourth Quarter Results

Continuing Operations

The sales in Brazil in Q4 of FY13 and FY12 had no large bid sales and were approximately the same as prior year. The increase in sales in other foreign jurisdictions is primarily due to the introduction of new products and new marketing material targeting specific markets.

Factors effecting 4QFY13 results included:

| · | A goodwill impairment charge of $10.0 million in Brazil.

| · | $0.6 million separation accrual in Brazil for a departing executive.

| · | A loss of $0.2 million on foreign exchange in Brazil.

| · | A valuation allowance for deferred tax in the amount of $4.5 million.

| · | We continue to see price increases in our Chinese manufacturing operations with labor source availability a concern.

| · | As a result of general elections in the fourth quarter, the public tenders were very weak in Brazil across all markets throughout the quarter resulting in weaker sales.

| · | In Q4 we began initiatives to "right size" the Brazilian operation. This initiative is expected to be complete in Q1 FY14. About 70% of the severance and labor reductions costs were recognized in November and January of Q4.

| · | Lakeland Europe and Lakeland China both experienced strong Q4 sales closing FY13 with record sales for each division.

Discontinued Operations

In Q4FY12, the Company commenced its efforts to market its property in India. Based on the difficulty in marketing this property in Q4FY13, the Company determined carrying value exceeded projected undiscounted cash flows and recorded a loss of $800,000 to reduce carrying value to future value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

As of January 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.7 million and working capital of $36.0 million, an increase of $1.0 million and a decrease of $28.3 million, respectively, from January 31, 2012. We have operations in many foreign jurisdictions which may place restrictions on repatriation of cash to the US. We are planning various strategies to mitigate this issue. Our primary sources of funds for conducting our business activities have been from cash flow provided by (used in) operations and borrowings under our credit facilities described below. Much of our cash is overseas and not readily available. We require liquidity and working capital primarily to fund increases in inventories and accounts receivable associated with our net sales and, to a lesser extent, for capital expenditures. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the reclassification of the TD Bank loan outstanding balances from long-term in FY12 to current liabilities in FY13.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities of $2.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2013, was due primarily to net loss of $26.3 million, offset by noncash charges of $7.9 million for the arbitration award less $1.8 million payments and fees, noncash $10.0 million goodwill impairment charge in Brazil and $3.8 million valuation allowance for deferred tax noncash charge, an increase in receivables of $1.5 million, a decrease in inventory of $4.6 million and increased payables of $1.8 million. Net cash used in continuing operating activities of $0.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2012, was due primarily to a net loss of $0.4 million, an increase in receivables of $1.3 million and decreased payables of $1.9 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of $1.4 million and $4.9 million in the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, was due to the purchases and improvements to property and equipment in both years, in fiscal 2013 mainly in China and Mexico, and in fiscal 2012 mainly due to capital expansions in Brazil and Mexico. Net cash used in financing activities in the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 was primarily new borrowings under the term loan facility to fund the Brazilian and Mexican expansions, payments of $1.9 million, pursuant to the Brazil Settlement Agreement and borrowings in Brazil.

Credit Facility

As of January 31, 2013 we had one credit facility: a $17.5 million credit facility with TD Bank, expiring in June 2013, including a Revolver and Term Loans, of which we had borrowing outstanding under the revolver as of January 31, 2013 amounting to $9.6 million, expiring in June 2013 and a term loan facility of which we had $5.5 million outstanding as of January 31, 2013.

As a result of the arbitration award issued against the Company in May 2012 and the subsequent entry into a Settlement Agreement (the “Brazilian Settlement Agreement”) in respect thereof, as well as due to the recent operating results of the Company mentioned below, one or more events of default have occurred during the year under the TD Bank revolving credit facility and term loan facility, including an event of default for failure to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant, which allow TD Bank, at its option, to accelerate the loan.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 200 basis points and were 3.7% at January 31, 2013. Our TD Bank credit facility requires that we comply with specified financial covenants relating to interest coverage, debt coverage, minimum consolidated net worth and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. These restrictive covenants could affect our financial and operational flexibility or impede our ability to operate or expand our business. Default under our credit facilities allows the lenders to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. Our lenders have a security interest in substantially all of our assets to secure the debt under our credit facilities. On May 15, 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to certain terms and conditions and is currently working towards closing this financing. However, no assurance can be given that this transaction or any other transaction will be consummated.

35

Unless we are able to have in place a new credit facility, we believe that our current cash position of $6.7 million, our cash flow from operations and, borrowing in Brazil and the United Kingdom, may not be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operating, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures principally relate to purchases of building and equipment in Brazil and Mexico, manufacturing equipment, computer equipment and leasehold improvements. We anticipate FY14 capital expenditures to be approximately $1.0 million. Our facilities in China are not encumbered by commercial bank mortgages and, thus, Chinese commercial mortgage loans or the sale of a facility may be available with respect to these real estate assets if we need additional liquidity. There are no further specific plans for material capital expenditures in the fiscal year 2014.

During FY13the AnQui City, China Weifang Lakeland factory expanded its operations substantially to accommodate the movement of the work in a leased facility, whose lease had expires. By bringing the two factories together, economies of scale were achieved.

Contractual Obligations

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements at January 31, 2013. As shown below, at January 31, 2013, our contractual cash obligations totaled approximately $19.8 million, including lease renewals entered into subsequent to January 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Developments

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (ASUs). ASUs not listed below were determined to either not be applicable or to have a minimal impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:

• Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.

• Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.

The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Codification Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill.

Under the guidance in this ASU, an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.

37

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%.

ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.

The FASB has issued its U.S. GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy Implementation Guide - Subsequent Events. The guide is the first in a series of XBRL Implementation Guides, which are designed to help Taxonomy users understand how certain disclosures are structured within the Taxonomy. The purpose of the Implementation Guide is to demonstrate the modeling for disclosures required about events occurring subsequent to the end of a public company’s reporting period. The modeling has been completed using the elements in the Taxonomy. The examples are not intended to encompass all of the potential modeling configurations or to dictate the appearance and structure of a company’s XBRL documents. In addition to the Implementation Guide, the FASB also issued Definition Components & Structure, the first style guide of the FASB U.S. GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy Style Guide Series. Also available on the FASB website, the style guides provide additional insight into design criteria and are offered as a reference for users of the Taxonomy.

The U.S. GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy is a list of computer-readable tags in XBRL that allows companies to tag precisely the thousands of pieces of financial data that are included in typical long-form financial statements and related footnote disclosures. The tags allow computers to automatically search for, assemble, and process data so it can be readily accessed and analyzed by investors, analysts, journalists, and regulators. In early 2010, the Financial Accounting Foundation assumed maintenance responsibilities for the Taxonomy, and, along with the FASB, assembled a team of technical staff dedicated to updating the Taxonomy for changes in U.S. GAAP, identifying best practices in Taxonomy extensions, and technical enhancements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our purchases and sales in other countries. To manage the volatility relating to foreign currency exchange rates, we seek to limit, to the extent possible, our non-US dollar denominated purchases and sales.

In connection with our operations in China, we purchase a significant amount of products from outside of the United States. However, our purchases in China are primarily made in Chinese Yuan, the value of which had been largely pegged to the US dollar for the last decade. However, the Chinese Yuan has been decoupled from the US Dollar and allowed to float by the Chinese government and, therefore, we have been exposed to additional foreign exchange rate risk on our Chinese raw material and component purchases.

Our primary risk from foreign currency exchange rate changes is presently related to non-US dollar denominated sales in Brazil, Canada and Europe and, to a smaller extent, in other South American countries and dollar-denominated payables in Brazil. Our sales to customers in Brazil are denominated in Brazilian Reals, in Canada in Canadian dollars and in Europe in Euros and British pounds. If the value of the US dollar increases relative to the Canadian dollar, the Real, the Pound or the Euro, then our net sales could decrease as our products would be more expensive to these international customers because of changes in rate of exchange. The largest supplier of raw materials to Brazil is an American company, and these payables are denominated in US dollars. If the Brazilian Real weakened against the US dollar, it would make our costs higher and trigger a loss on foreign exchange on the payables. Our sales from China are denominated in the Chinese Yuan, US dollar and Euros;. We did experience some losses between the Chinese Yuan, the Euro and US dollars in FY12, but we have since stepped up our hedging program to include this risk. We manage the foreign currency risk through the use of rolling 90-day forward contracts against the Canadian dollar and Euros and through longer term cash flow hedges in China against the USD and Euro. We also do limited short-term hedging of the Brazilian Real. We do not hedge other currencies at this time. As non-US dollar denominated international purchases and sales grow, exposure to volatility in exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on our financial results. The only significant unhedged foreign exchange exposure we have is the Brazilian Real. Other unhedged currency exposure is not significant. If the Brazilian exchange rates varied either way by +/- 10% it could cause a gain/loss to P&L of $212,000.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our credit facilities, which have variable interest rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate. At January 31, 2013, we had $15.1 million in borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. If the interest rate applicable to this variable rate debt rose 1.0% in the year ended January 31, 2013, our interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.2 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Ronkonkoma, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2013. Lakeland’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. For the year ended January 31, 2013, we did not audit the financial statements of Lakeland Brazil, S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 19% and 18%, respectively, of the related consolidated totals in 2013. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in Lakeland Brazil, S.A., is based solely on the report of other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in default on certain covenants of its loan agreements at January 31, 2013. The lenders have not waived these events of default and may demand repayment at any time. Management is currently trying to secure replacement financing but does not have new financing available at the date of this report. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Lakeland” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation organized in April 1982, manufactures and sells a comprehensive line of safety garments and accessories for the industrial protective clothing market. The principal market for the Company’s products is in the United States. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during FY13 or FY12. For purposes of these financial statements, FY refers to a fiscal year ended January 31; thus, FY13 refers to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.

Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with GAAP and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have sustained substantial operating losses since FY13 and we are in default with our lender, TD Bank. During the year ended January 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $(26.3) million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses from our Brazilian operations for at least the first half of FY14. Unless we are able to have in place a new credit facility, we believe that our current cash position of $6.7 million, our cash flow from operations and, borrowing in Brazil and the United Kingdom, may not be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operating, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. To this end, on May 15, 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to certain terms and conditions and is currently working towards closing this financing. However, no assurance can be given that this transaction or any other transaction will be consummated.

If management is unable to successfully implement its cost reduction strategies or to complete any other financing, that would impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following is a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its sales primarily from its limited use/disposable protective clothing and secondarily from its sales of high-end chemical protective suits, firefighting and heat protective apparel, gloves and arm guards and reusable woven garments. Sales are recognized when goods are shipped, at which time title and the risk of loss pass to the customer. Some sales in Brazil may be sold on terms with F.O.B. destination, which are recognized when received by the customer. Sales are reduced for sales returns and allowances. Payment terms are generally net 30 days for United States sales and net 90 days for international sales.

Substantially all the Company’s sales outside Brazil are made through distributors. There are no significant differences across product lines or customers in different geographical areas in the manner in which the Company’s sales are made.

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2013 and 2012

Lakeland offers a growth rebate to certain distributors each year on a calendar-year basis. Sales are tracked on a monthly basis, and accruals are based on sales growth over the prior year. The growth rebate accrual is adjusted either up or down on a monthly basis as a reduction (increase) to revenue and an increase (reduction) to the accrual based on monthly sales trends as compared with prior year. Based on volume and products purchased, distributors can earn anywhere from 1% to 6% rebates in the form of either a quarterly or annual credit to their account, depending on the specific agreement. In estimating the accrual needed, management tracks sales growth over the prior year.

Our sales are generally final; however, requests for return of goods can be made and must be received within 90 days from invoice date. No returns will be accepted without a written authorization. Return products may be subject to a restocking charge and must be shipped freight prepaid. Any special made-to-order items are not returnable. Customer returns have historically been insignificant.

Customer pricing is subject to change on a 30-day notice; exceptions based on meeting competitors’ pricing are considered on a case-by-case basis. Revenue is recorded net of taxes collected from customers that are remitted to governmental authorities, with the collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority.

For larger orders, except in its Lakeland Fire product line, the Company absorbs the cost of shipping and handling. For those customers who are billed the cost of shipping and handling fees, such amounts are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in selling and shipping expenses and aggregated approximately $2.5 and $2.8 million in FY13 and FY12, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories include freight-in, materials, labor and overhead costs and are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Provision is made for slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory.

In the year ended January 31, 2013 the Company changed its estimate used in calculating slow moving inventory in the US. Previously, the Company wrote down any item in excess of five years stock on hand based on annualized sales levels. The Company has determined that based on its needs to service customers, up to a two year supply may be needed. Therefore, anything in excess of a two year supply is now written down to its estimated net realizable value and the results of operations for FY13 include a corresponding change of $288,000.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements and leasehold costs are amortized over the term of the lease or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. The costs of additions and improvements which substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account, and the gain or loss on disposition is reflected in operating income.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment at least annually; however, this evaluation may be performed more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers important that could identify a potential impairment include: significant changes in the overall business strategy and significant negative industry or economic trends. Management assesses whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired and, if necessary, compares the current value of the entity acquired to the carrying value. Fair value is generally determined by management either based on estimating future discounted cash flows for the reporting unit or by estimating a sales price for the reporting unit based on a multiple of earnings. These estimates require the Company’s management to make projections that can differ materially from actual results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2013 and 2012

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company measures any potential impairment on a projected undiscounted cash flow method. Estimating future cash flows requires the Company’s management to make projections that can differ materially from actual results.

The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset.

Self-Insured Liabilities

We have a self-insurance program for certain employee health benefits. The cost of such benefits is recognized as expense based on claims filed in each reporting period and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported during such period. Our estimate of claims incurred but not reported is based upon historical trends. If more claims are made than were estimated or if the costs of actual claims increase beyond what was anticipated, reserves recorded may not be sufficient, and additional accruals may be required in future periods. We maintain separate insurance to cover the excess liability over set single claim amounts and aggregate annual claim amounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records the cost of stock-based compensation plans based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. For awards that contain a vesting provision, the cost is recognized over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). For awards based on services already rendered, the cost is recognized immediately.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company recognizes losses when information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired based on criteria noted above at the date of the financial statements, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts:

Customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other less creditworthy accounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses. Research and development expenses aggregated approximately $242,000 and $428,000 in the FY13 and FY12, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates as part of preparing the consolidated financial statements. This involves estimating the actual current tax in addition to assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences, together with net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits, are recorded as deferred tax assets or liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. A judgment must then be made of the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company determines that it may not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax asset in the future, or that new estimates indicate that a previously recorded valuation allowance is no longer required, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is charged or credited to income in the period of such determination.

The Company recognizes tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” minimum recognition threshold.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalents. The average common stock equivalents for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, were 0 and 131,562, respectively, representing the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards. The diluted earnings per share calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options, reduced by shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise, based on the average price during the fiscal year.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for “income for continuing operations” at January 31, 2013 and 2012, as follows:

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and co-op costs amounted to $263,000 and $310,000 in FY13 and FY12, respectively, net of co-op advertising allowance received from a supplier. These reimbursements include some costs which are classified in categories other than advertising, such as payroll.

Statement of Cash Flows

The Company considers highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds. The market value of the cash equivalents approximates cost. Foreign denominated cash and cash equivalents were approximately $4.5 million and $5.2 million at January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Supplemental cash flow information for the years ended January 31 is as follows:

|  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Interest paid |  | $ | 913,446 |  |  | $ | 679,086 |
Income taxes paid |  | $ | 469,209 |  |  | $ | 1,128,478 |

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to these receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company does not require customers to post collateral.

Our foreign financial depositories are Bank of America, China Construction Bank, China Agricultural Bank, China Commercial and Industrial Bank, HSBC; HSBC in India, Argentina and UK; TD Bank Canada; Banco do Brasil, S.A. and Banco Itaú S.A. in Brasil; Banco Credito Inversione in Chile; Banco Mercantil Del Norte SA in Mexico; ZAO KB Citibank Moscow in Russia and JSC Bank Centercredit in Kazakhstan. We monitor our financial depositories by their credit rating.

Foreign Operations and Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains manufacturing operations in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and the People’s Republic of China and can access independent contractors in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and China. It also maintains sales and distribution entities located in India, Canada, the U.K., Chile, China, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mexico and Brazil. The Company is vulnerable to currency risks in these countries. The functional currency of foreign subsidiaries is the US dollar, except for the Brazilian operation (Brazil Real), UK operation (Euro), trading companies in China (RenminBi), Russia (Russian Ruble), Kazakhstan (Tenge) and the Canadian Real Estate (Canadian dollar) subsidiary.

Pursuant to US GAAP, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations with functional currencies, other than the US dollar, are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the periods. Translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations with the US dollar as the functional currency are translated into US dollars at current exchange rates, while nonmonetary items are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are generally translated at average exchange rates for the year. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred and aggregated losses or (gains) of approximately $390,000 and $521,000 for FY13 and FY12, respectively, outside Brazil.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income or loss but are excluded from net income or loss as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. This includes translation adjustments for foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is other than the US dollar. No tax benefit or expense has been attributed to any of these items. Amounts have been reclassified into the statement of operations as appropriate based on impairment charges.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at year-end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that events could occur during the upcoming year that could change such estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s principal financial instruments are its outstanding revolving credit facility and term loans and its cash flow hedges in China. The Company believes that the carrying amount of such debt approximates the fair value as the variable interest rates approximate the current prevailing interest rate, or the prevailing foreign exchange rates in the case of the cash flow hedges.

4. BRAZIL MANAGEMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT-ARBITRATION

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lakeland Brasil S.A. (“Lakeland Brasil” and together with Lakeland Industries, Inc., the “Company”) were parties to an arbitration proceeding in Brazil involving the Company and two former officers (the “former officers”) of Lakeland Brasil. On May 8, 2012, the Company received notice of an arbitral award in favor of the former officers as described below. On May 12, 2012, the Company filed a request for clarification seeking a modification of the award or to have it set aside. However, no such relief was awarded to the Company.

The arbitration proceeding arose out of the acquisition by the Company in 2008 of Qualytextil, S.A., a company of which the former officers were owners. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into management agreements with the former officers and agreed to pay the former officers a supplemental purchase price payment (“SPP”), calculated based upon the 2010 EBITDA of the acquired company, subject to a cap (the “Maximum SPP”). Based upon actual results for 2010 as contractually specified, the Company determined that no SPP would be payable. Contractual provisions further provided for the former officers to be paid the Maximum SPP in the event that either of them were terminated by the Company without cause even if an SPP would not otherwise be payable. In May 2010, the Company terminated the former officers for cause.

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2013 and 2012

In the arbitration proceeding, the former officers sought a determination that they were terminated by the Company without cause and, therefore, entitled to be paid their portion of the Maximum SPP and the monthly remuneration that they would have been paid from the date of termination through the end of their contractual employment period on December 31, 2011. On May 8, 2012, the Company received the arbitration decision which accepted the former officers’ requests to declare that their employments were terminated without cause and determined that, among other things, the noncompete clauses of each of the stock purchase agreement and management agreements were null and nonapplicable despite having been drafted by one of the top law firms in Brazil and reviewed by a second top law firm. The Company was ordered to pay to the former officers damages representing their portion of the Maximum SPP in the aggregate amount of R$18,037,500 (approximately US$9 million at current exchange rates) and monthly remuneration from the date of termination through December 31, 2011, which the Company estimates at an aggregate amount of R$1,150,000 (US$580,000). The arbitration panel further ordered that the Company pay the former officers approximately R$450,000 (US$226,000) from an escrow account established in connection with the acquisition, and the Company is responsible for payment of 85% of the costs and arbitrators’ fees associated with the arbitration. The arbitration award, with all taxes, expenses, interest and applicable adjustments to date, amounts to R$25,148,252 (approximately US$ 12,575,000) as adjusted for inflation, plus interest and penalties.

On September 11, 2012, the Company and the former officers entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) which fully and finally resolved all alleged outstanding claims against the Company arising from the arbitration proceeding. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the former officers an aggregate of approximately US$8.5 million (the “Settlement Amount”) over a period of six (6) years. The Settlement Amount is payable in combined Brazilian Real and United States dollars as follows: (i) R$3 million (approximately US$1.5 million) was paid on the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, of which amount (A) R$2.294 million (approximately US$1.15 million) in cash was released from the escrow account established in connection with the Qualytextil, S.A. acquisition and (B) R$706,000 (approximately US$350,000) was paid directly by the Company; (ii) R$2 million (approximately US$1.0 million) was paid in December 2012; and (iii) the balance of $6.0 million of the Settlement Amount will be made in United States dollars consisting of 24 consecutive quarterly installments of US $250,000 beginning on March 31, 2013. In the event the Company fails to pay the remainder of the Settlement Amount in accordance with terms of the Settlement Agreement, the former officers will be entitled to seek payment by the Company of R$25,148,252.47 (approximately US$12,575,000) as adjusted for inflation, plus interest and penalties, less prior payments, which represents the original arbitral award inclusive of all taxes, expenses, interest and applicable adjustments. The Company is current with all obligations pursuant to this Settlement Agreement.

In addition, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as additional security for payment of the Settlement Amount, Lakeland Brasil agreed to grant the former officers a second mortgage interest on certain of its property in Brazil, which mortgage is expressly behind the lien securing the payment of tax debts to a state within Brazil related to certain notices of tax assessment on such property. The Company also agreed to become a co-obligor, in lieu of a guarantor, for payment of the Settlement Amount.

The Company, upon reaching the Settlement Agreement, has recorded a settlement liability at net present value of $7.0 million, by applying a risk-free interest rate of 1.58% to discount the noninterest-bearing payment schedule. Together with estimated total fees for the settlement of $856,000, the total cost for the settlement is estimated at $8.0 million. The Settlement liability is $5.7 million as of January 31, 2013, as reflected on the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company further believes that its available resources, together with additional outside funding through debt or equity financings or asset sales, will enable it to make timely payment of the Settlement Amount and continue its operations on a viable basis. There can, however, be no assurance that such outside funding will ultimately be obtained (see Note 6). The Company is continuing to work with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. in its evaluation of a broad range of financial and strategic alternatives for the Company.

The legal and arbitration fees are being charged to expense as incurred.

Amortization expense for the next five years is as follows: Bank fees: $133,183 for 2014, $0 for 2015 through 2018.

Total amortization for intangibles and other assets is scheduled for approximately USD$19,000 for FY13 and USD$458,200 for FY14, subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

However, there will be substantial new transaction costs incurred upon the closing of the potential transaction (see Note 6 in the Financial Statements) which will result in a substantial amortization for FY14.

The changes in the carrying amount of trademarks and trade names during the fiscal years 2012 and 2013 are summarized in the following table:

|  | Balance Beginning of Year |  |  | Changes Resulting from Foreign Exchange Differences |  |  | Changes from Impairment Charges |  |  | Balance End of Year |

Goodwill

On August 1, 2005, the Company purchased Mifflin Valley, Inc., a Pennsylvania manufacturer. This acquisition resulted in the recording of $0.9 million in goodwill as of January 31, 2006. Management has determined this did not meet “more likely than not” threshold for impairment at January 31, 2012. This goodwill is included in the US segment for reporting purposes.

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2013 and 2012

In May 2008, the Company acquired Qualytextil, a Brazilian manufacturer, as discussed in Note 4. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $5.7 million of goodwill. In view of the recent operating losses incurred by Lakeland Brazil, Management determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill related to our Brazil subsidiary (“Lakeland Brasil”) exceeded its fair value, which was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash inflows. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an impairment charge at year-end against the Goodwill and Intangible assets relating to its Brazil subsidiary of $9.8 million in fiscal year 2013 made up of goodwill of $4.0 million, intangibles of $3.4 million and reclassification from other comprehensive income of $1.8 million.

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill during the fiscal years 2013 and 2012 are summarized in the following table:

|  | USA |  |  | Brazil |  |  | Total |

6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Revolving Credit Facility

At January 31, 2013, the total balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility amounted to $9.6 million. In January 2010, the Company entered into a one-year $23.5 million revolving credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) with TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”). In January 2011, TD Bank agreed to a two-year extension to expire January 2013 in June 2011, TD Bank agreed to extend the term to June 2014 and add a $6.5 million term loan facility to be used to fund capital expansion in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, as well as the ability to refinance existing debt in Canada. In April 2012, TD Bank agreed to add a $3.0 million term loan facility to be used to refinance a portion of the revolver. Borrowings under this $6.5 million term loan facility are in the form of a five-year term loan, with maturity in June 2013. As a result of the arbitration award issued against the Company in May 2012 and the subsequent entry into a Settlement Agreement in respect thereof, as well as due to the recent operating results of the Company mentioned below, one or more events of default have occurred during the year under the TD Bank revolving credit facility and term loan facility, including an event of default for failure to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenant, which would have allowed TD Bank, at its option, to accelerate the loan.

On October 17, 2012, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 5 and Waiver (the “Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement. Under the Amendment, TD Bank has agreed to waive the Company’s noncompliance with the consolidated leverage ratio requirements and consolidated EBITDA requirements of the Loan Agreement, in each case, for the fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2012. TD Bank has also agreed, with respect to standards for the October 31, 2012 quarter compliance standards, not to test or has revised these and one other financial covenant.

Pursuant to the Amendment, TD Bank has reduced the Company’s revolving line of credit from the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 to $17,500,000 and increased the maximum interest rate payable on the revolving credit balance from LIBOR plus 2.50% to LIBOR plus 3.50%. There is currently approximately $9.6 million of outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement. The maturity date of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility was changed from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2013. The Loan Agreement requires payment of certain access fees for all unused portions of the total borrowing capacity provided to the Company.

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2013 and 2012

The maximum amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility during FY13 and FY12 were $12.9 million and $18.4 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates during the periods were 2.87% and 1.96%, respectively. The maximum amount borrowed under the term loans was $6.3 million in FY13 with a weighted average interest ratio of 2.89%.

The credit facility contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, fixed charge ratio, funded debt to EBITDA ratio, inventory and accounts receivable collateral coverage ratio, with respect to which the Company was not in compliance at January 31, 2013, as amended in October 2012. The current interest rate on this term loan at January 31, 2013, was 2.9%, and principal and interest of $131,470 was due monthly.

The operating losses from Brazil and impairment charge resulted in the Company’s being in default with its TD Bank facility. In June 2012, the Company has engaged Raymond James & Associates, Inc. to assist management and the Board of Directors in its evaluation of a broad range of financial and strategic alternatives for the Company.

Subsequent Event

On May 15, 2013, the Company accepted a commitment letter from a bank for a Senior Credit Facility subject to execution of documentation, final due diligence, obtaining by the Company of a minimum of $3.5 million of junior debt under terms satisfactory to lender, and an inter creditor agreement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to close on such financing.

Canadian Borrowings

In June 2006, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to construct a distribution facility in Brantford, Ontario at a fixed cost of approximately $2,400,000. In order to finance the acquisition, the Company has arranged a term loan in the amount of $2,000,000 (Canadian) bearing interest at the Business Development Bank of Canada’s floating base rate minus 1.25% (equal to 3.75% at January 31, 2013) and is repayable in 240 monthly principal installments of $8,350 (Canadian) plus interest. The subsidiary has drawn down the full amount of this loan and has included $33,899 (Canadian) as capitalized interest reflected in the asset cost. Such building was completed, and the Company took occupancy in December 2007. The term loan is collateralized by the land and buildings in Brantford, Ontario, as well as certain personal property of our Canadian subsidiaries. In addition, $700,000 (Canadian) of the term loan is guaranteed by the Company.

Sale of Real Estate in China

In April 2013, the Company executed a contract for the sale of real estate located in Qingdao, China. The sale was structured as a sale of a subsidiary’s stock after transferring out all non-real estate assets to other Lakeland entities. The proceeds of the sale to the Company will be approximately $1.1 million, expected to be received in June 2013. All production from this facility is being transferred to other Lakeland manufacturing facilities. There are no product lines which will be dropped as a result of this plant closing. Accordingly, the operations of this plant are not being treated as a discontinued operation.

Sale of India Property

The Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) in April 2013 for the sale of Plot 24, the largest of three plots held for sale by the Company. The sale price is approximately $500,000 US dollars. Due to time-consuming Indian governmental approvals needed, the Company does not expect to collect the cash until late in 2013.

Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan |  | The plan provides for an automatic one-time grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock to each nonemployee director newly elected or appointed. Options are granted at not less than fair market value, become exercisable commencing six months from the date of grant and expire six years from the date of grant. In addition, all nonemployee directors re-elected to the Company’s Board of Directors at any annual meeting of the stockholders will automatically be granted additional options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock on that date. Such plan expired at December 31, 2012, as to any new awards. Existing options will expire based on individual award dates.
Restricted Stock Plan - employees |  | Long-term incentive compensation three-year plan. Employees are granted potential share awards at the beginning of the three-year cycle at baseline and maximum amounts. The level of award and final vesting is based on the Board of Director’s opinion as to the performance of the Company and management in the entire three-year cycle. All vesting is three-year “cliff” vesting - there is no partial vesting. The valuation is based on the stock price at the grant date and amortized to expense over the three-year period.
Restricted Stock Plan - Directors |  | Long-term incentive compensation-three-year plan. Directors are granted potential share awards at the beginning of the three-year cycle at baseline and maximum amounts. The level of award and final vesting is based on the Board of Director’s opinion as to the performance of the Company and management in the entire three-year cycle. All vesting is three-year “cliff” vesting - there is no partial vesting. The valuation is based on the stock price at the grant date and amortized to expense over the three-year period.
Matching award program |  | All participating employees are eligible to receive one share of restricted stock awarded for each two shares of Lakeland stock purchased on the open market. Such restricted shares are subject to three-year time vesting. The valuation is based on the stock price at the grant date and amortized to expense over the three-year period.
Bonus in stock program - employees |  | All participating employees are eligible to elect to receive any cash bonus in shares of restricted stock. Such restricted shares are subject to two-year time vesting. The valuation is based on the stock price at the grant date and amortized to expense over the two-year period. Since the employee is giving up cash for unvested shares, the amount of shares awarded is 133% of the cash amount based on the grant date stock price. The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company have all elected to take 30% of their cash compensation in restricted stock pursuant to this program, commencing in October 2012.
Director fee in stock program |  | All directors are eligible to elect to receive any director fees in shares of restricted stock. Such restricted shares are subject to two- year time vesting. The valuation is based on the stock price at the grant date and amortized to expense over the two-year period. Since the director is giving up cash for unvested shares, the amount of shares awarded is 133% of the cash amount based on the grant date stock price.

The Nonemployee Directors’ Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) provides for an automatic one-time grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock to each nonemployee director elected or appointed to the Board of Directors. Under the Directors’ Plan, 60,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance. Options are granted at not less than fair market value, become exercisable commencing six months from the date of grant and expire six years from the date of grant. In addition, all nonemployee directors re-elected to the Company’s Board of Directors at any annual meeting of the stockholders will automatically be granted additional options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock on each of such dates.

There were no exercises during the year ended January 31, 2013.

The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the year ended January 31, 2013: expected volatility of 44%; risk-free interest rate of 2.65%; expected dividend yield of 0.0%; and expected life of six years. All stock-based option awards were fully vested at January 31, 2013 and 2012.

The 2009 Equity Plan and the 2012 Equity Plan

On June 17, 2009, the stockholders of the Company approved a restricted stock plan (the “2009 Equity Plan”). A total of 253,000 shares of restricted stock were authorized under this plan. On June 20, 2012, the stockholders of the Company authorized 310,000 shares under a new restricted stock plan (the “2012 Equity Plan”). Under these restricted stock plans, eligible employees and directors are awarded performance-based restricted shares of the Company common stock. The amount recorded as expense for the performance-based grants of restricted stock are based upon an estimate made at the end of each reporting period as to the most probable outcome of this plan at the end of the three-year performance period (e.g., baseline, maximum or zero). In addition to the grants with vesting based solely on performance, certain awards pursuant to the plan have a time-based vesting requirement, under which awards vest from two to three years after grant issuance, subject to continuous employment and certain other conditions. Restricted stock has voting rights, and the underlying shares are not considered to be issued and outstanding until vested.

Under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has issued 152,582 fully vested shares as of January 31, 2013. The Company has granted up to a maximum of 36,278 restricted stock awards remaining unvested as of January 31, 2013. All of these restricted stock awards are nonvested at January 31, 2013, and have a weighted average grant date fair value of $8.57. The Company recognizes expense related to performance-based awards over the requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method based on the outcome that is probable.

Under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has granted 242,118 restricted stock awards as of January 31, 2013, assuming all maximum awards are achieved. All of these restricted stock awards are nonvested at January 31, 2013 (180,618 shares at “baseline”), and have a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.44. The Company recognizes expense related to performance-based awards over the requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method based on the outcome that is probable.

Valuation Allowance

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we considered all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The valuation allowance $4,544,431 at January 31, 2013 ($0 in 2012)

Tax Audit

Income Tax Audit/Change in Accounting Estimate

The Company is subject to US federal income tax, as well as income tax in multiple US state and local jurisdictions and a number of foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007, have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company has received a final “No Change Letter” from the IRS for FY07 dated August 20, 2009. The Company has received notice from the IRS on March 21, 2011, that it will shortly commence an audit for the FY09 tax return. There have been no further communications from the IRS since.

Our three major foreign tax jurisdictions are China, Canada and Brazil. China tax authorities performed a fraud audit, but the scope was limited to the fraud activities found in late FY09 as discussed more fully in Note 15 to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010. This audit covered tax years from 2003 through 2008. We reached a settlement with the Chinese Government in January 2009. China tax authorities have performed limited reviews on all China subsidiaries as of tax years 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 and 2012 with no significant issues noted. We believe our tax positions are reasonably stated as of January 31, 2013. On May 9, 2013, one of our China operations was notified by local tax authority that they could conduct an audit on transfer pricing. After preliminary communication with the tax authority, we believe the additional tax liability will be no more than RMB100,000 or USD16,000. At the same time, China tax authority also questioned about the retained earning amount for not being repatriated to corporate and the delayed payment in trade payable from corporate the sisters companies, especially from US parent to China. Additionally, China tax authority also questioned if there is any tax avoidance motive in the investment of USD500,000 to our Argentina subsidiary. We do not believe there will be any material tax consequences from the latter two inquiries.

Lakeland Protective Wear, Inc., our Canadian subsidiary, follows Canada tax regulatory framework recording its tax expense and tax deferred assets or liabilities. As of this statement filing date, we believe the Company’s tax situation is reasonably stated, and we do not anticipate future tax liability for fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, or prior years.

The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary is currently under a tax audit, which raised some issues regarding the tax impact related to the merger held in 2008 and the resulting goodwill resulting from the structure which was set up by the Company's Brazilian counsel's suggestion. The Company has not received any formal communication from the authorities.

There is no formal claim received, and there may not be such a claim in any case. However, this structure is relatively common in acquisitions of Brazilian operations made by non-Brazilian companies. In general, acquisitions with this structure have survived challenge by the taxing authorities in Brazil. The cumulative amount of tax benefits recognized on the Company’s books through January 31, 2013, resulting from the tax deduction of the goodwill amortization is approximately USD$0, net of the deferred tax valuation reserve. This results from the goodwill on the Brazilian books which, for Brazilian tax purposes, is eligible for tax write-off over a five year period dating from November 2008.

9. BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plan

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 401(k) plan, substantially all US employees over 21 years of age with a minimum period of service are eligible to participate. The 401(k) plan is administered by the Company and provides for voluntary employee contributions ranging from 1% to 15% of the employee’s compensation. During FY10, the Company suspended the Company match, which has not been reinstated as of January 31, 2013.

10. VAT TAX ISSUE IN BRAZIL

Asserted Claims

VAT tax in Brazil is at the state level. We commenced operations in Brazil in May 2008 through an acquisition of Qualytextil, S.A. (“QT”). At the time of the acquisition, and going back to 2004, the acquired company used a port facility in a neighboring state (Recife-Pernambuco), rather than its own, in order to take advantage of incentives, in the form of a discounted VAT tax, to use such neighboring port facility. We continued this practice until April 2009. The practice was stopped largely for economic reasons, resulting from additional trucking costs and longer lead time. The Bahia state auditors (state of domicile for the Lakeland operations in Brazil) initially reviewed the period from 2004-2006 and filed a claim for unpaid VAT taxes in October 2009. The claim asserted that the state VAT taxes are owed to the state of domicile of the ultimate importer/user and disregarded the fact that the VAT taxes had already been paid to the neighboring state.

The audit notice claimed that the taxes paid to Recife-Pernambuco should have been paid to Bahia in the amount of R$4.8 million and assessed fines and interest of an additional R$5.6 million for a total of R$10.4 million (approximately US$3.0 million, $3.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively).

Bahia had announced an amnesty for this tax whereby R$3.5 million (US$1.9 million) of the taxes claimed were paid by QT by the end of the month of May 2010, and the interest and penalties related thereto were forgiven. According to fiscal regulation of Brazil, R$2.1 million (US$1.1 million) of this amnesty payment has since been recouped as credits against future taxes due.

An audit for the 2007-2009 period has been completed by the State of Bahia. In October 2010, the Company received a claim for 2007-2009 from the State of Bahia for taxes of R$6.2 (US$3.1) million and fines and penalties of R$4.9 (US$2.4) million, for a total of R$11.1 (US$5.5) million, which had been expected per above. The Company intends to defend and wait for the next amnesty period. Of these claims, our attorney informs us that R$0.9 (US$0.5) million in respect of fines and penalties will likely be successfully defended based on state auditor misunderstanding.

January 31, 2013 and 2012

Lakeland intends to apply for amnesty and make any necessary payments upon the forthcoming, anticipated amnesty periods imposed by the local Brazilian authorities. Of this R$6.2 (US$3.2) million exposure, R$3.4 (US$1.9) million is eligible for future credit. This future credit amount represents the USD value at the exchange rate prevailing in 2010 when recorded.

Company Brazilian counsel advises the Company that in its opinion the next amnesty will come before the end of the judicial process. There has been a long history in Bahia of the state declaring such amnesty periods every two to three years going back 25 years. The litigation process begins as two separate administrative proceedings and, after a period of time, must be switched to a formal court judicial proceeding. If the next amnesty does not arrive prior to the commencement of the formal court proceedings, the Company will have to remit a “judicial deposit” covering the exposure from 2007-2009 in taxes of approximately R$6.2 (US$3.1) million plus assessed fines and interest bringing the judicial deposit needed to approximately R$12.3 (US$6.2) million. The initial estimated time period to Judicial Court deposit was 1.5-2 years.

Set forth below are the total amounts of potential tax liability from both the first and second claims, the amount of payments already made into amnesty or scheduled for future payment, which are not eligible for future credit (essentially the discount allowed as an incentive by the neighboring state), less the amount of VAT taxes actually paid which are available as a credit and the amounts of the escrow released by one of the three sellers of the Brazilian company acquired by the Company. The foregoing forms the basis for the US$1.6 million charge to expense recorded by Lakeland in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Of these claims, our attorney informs us that R$1.0 (US$0.6) million will be successfully defended based on a lapse of statute of limitations and R$0.3 (US$0.2) million based on state auditor misunderstanding. No accrual has been made for these items.

The total taxes paid into the amnesty program on May 31, 2010, were R$3.5 (US$2.2) million.

Future Accounting for Funds

Following payment into the amnesty program, a portion of the taxes were since recouped via credits against future taxes due. The Company does not expect any further charges to expense other than as described below:

In addition to the direct cost of the additional tax liability accrued per above, there are several additional costs which will be future costs. There will be interest costs on the cash paid during the period from the payment to the state and the credit to be subsequently used which has been and will be charged to expense as incurred. There will be legal fees to defend and resolve this legal matter before the state, which will be charged to expense as incurred. Further, there will be a loss of an incentive known as “desenvolve”3 as a result of using the credit rather than cash payments for the future VAT taxes. The “desenvolve” has already been reflected in the operating results subsequent to May 2010 through August 2011 when the initial credit was exhausted and the Company resumed normal monthly cash payments for VAT taxes. This has been reflected as a reduction in the gross margin in the ensuing period through August 2011. This is not a cost but a lost discount.

Summary of Cash Flow Requirements: (R$ millions and US$ millions)

Claim period/description |  | Taxes |  |  | Fines and penalties |  |  | Maximum judicial deposit |

TOTAL |  | R$ | 7.5 |  |  | R$ | 8.0 |  |  | R$ | 15.5 |  |  | US$ | 7.8 |

(1) Our attorney informs us that based on the slow progress so far in the administrative proceedings for the 2007-2009 claim, they believe it is now more likely than not that the next amnesty will arrive prior to the need to pay the R$12.3 judicial deposit. Therefore, the most likely cash flow outlook in management’s opinion is as follows:

R$3.1 (US$1.6) million 2004-2006 Judicial deposit Management has pledged a first lien on its plant and equipment in Brazil as a judicial deposit in lieu of cash.

R$6.2 (US$3.1) million 2007-2009 claim into amnesty From Quarter Three Fiscal year 2014 to Quarter Four Fiscal year 2014

3 “Desenvolve” is an incentive remaining from Brazil’s hyperinflationary days about 10 years ago. It is based on the net ICMS (VAT) tax payable. (QT pays ICMS to suppliers on raw materials, bills and collects ICMS from customers, takes credit for ICMS paid to suppliers and remits the difference. The net amount payable is payable 30% immediately and 70% for up to five years. The “desenvolve” is an incentive to pay the 70% quickly, like a cash discount. If the full amount is paid immediately, there is an 80% discount of the 70% (or 56% of the total).

At the next amnesty period:

| · | If before judicial process - still administration proceeding - the Company would pay only the taxes with no penalty or interest. This would then be recouped via credits against future taxes on future imports. As before, the Company would lose desenvolve and interest.

| · | If after judicial process commences - the amount of the judicial deposit previously remitted would be reclassified to the taxes at issue, and the excess submitted to cover fines and interest would be refunded to QT. As above, the taxes would be recouped via credits against future taxes on future imports, but we would lose desenvolve and interest.

| · | The desenvolve is scheduled to expire on February 2013 and has been partially phased out starting February 2011. Based on the anticipated timing of the next amnesty, there may be small amounts of desenvolve lost since it would largely expire on its own terms in any case.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS IN INDIA

The Company decided to discontinue operations in its India glove manufacturing facility and put the assets and business up for sale. The Company decided to sell this division primarily because it has incurred significant operating losses since inception, and the Company has been unsuccessful in developing sufficient sales to reach at least break even. The Company was attempting to sell the operations as an ongoing operation but shut down its operations in December 2011.

In conjunction with the discontinuance of operations, the Company, in the year ended January 31, 2012, recognized a pretax loss on shutdown and sale of assets of $1.7 million, primarily consisting of $1.0 million in fixed asset write-downs and $0.1 million in inventory write-downs. In the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company took a further write-down of fixed assets in the amount of $0.8 million. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are presented separately under the captions “Assets of discontinued operations in India” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations in India,” respectively, in the accompanying Balance Sheets at January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, and consist of the following:

12. MAJOR SUPPLIER

Our largest supplier in FY13 was Southern Mills, from whom we purchased 11.7% of our total purchases. In FY12, our largest supplier was DuPont, from whom we purchased 13.9% of our total purchases.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been or is probable of being incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

We must comply with American laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and Sarbanes-Oxley, and also with anti-corruption legislation in the UK.

Employment Contracts

The Company has employment contracts with three principal officers expiring through January 31, 2016. Pursuant to such contracts, the Company is committed to aggregate annual base remuneration of $765,000, $765,000, $718,000 and $342,000 for FY13, FY14, FY15 and FY16, respectively. Three of such employees voluntarily took an 8% reduction in pay along with a 30% reduction to be paid in restricted shares rather than cash. Two of such contracts provide for bonuses based on reported earnings per share for FY14 compared with targets set by the Board. Such bonuses were not earned in FY13.

In March 2013, the Company reached a Termination Agreement with Mr. Miguel Bastos, President of Lakeland’s Brazilian subsidiary. Such Agreement will become effective 120 days from signing, unless earlier as determined by the Company. This is a part of both the Company’s efforts to reduce costs and the Company’s efforts to improve sales.

Mr. Bastos will join a Brazilian organization working with Lakeland to strengthen our sales efforts. The Termination Agreement calls for an aggregate maximum payout of R$1.1 million (approximately US$550,000), to be paid out over a period of approximately two years. Mr. Bastos will continue to receive his normal salary for six months and then will receive 3% of Lakeland Brazil’s sales, which Mr. Bastos will be supporting and generating from an independent company, until he reaches a total payout equal to the aggregate R$1.1 million. This Termination Agreement pays Mr. Bastos approximately half of the amount which would have been paid out for the remaining years of Mr. Bastos’s employment contract, which had run through December 31, 2015. Such termination amount has been accrued as of January 31, 2013.

This entity is not expected to generate any sales commissions or any other payments from the Company in the first half of FY14. Such entity will be evaluated for potential variable interest entity (VIE) status if and when it becomes significant.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings, in addition to those described in Notes 4 and 10 of the financial statements, arising during the normal course of business which, though in the opinion of the management of the Company, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations or cash flows however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters.

14. Derivative Instruments and Foreign Currency Exposure

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. Management has commenced a derivative instrument program to partially offset this risk by purchasing forward contracts to sell the Canadian Dollar, the Chilean Peso, the Euro, the Great Britain Pound and Brazil Real other than the cash flow hedge discussed below. Such contracts are largely timed to expire with the last day of the fiscal quarter, with a new contract purchased on the first day of the following quarter, to match the operating cycle of the Company. We designated the forward contracts as derivatives but not as hedging instruments, with loss and gain recognized in current earnings. In the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company recorded a loss on foreign exchange in Brazil of $741,052 or $0.14 per share included in income from continuing operations. In the year ended January 31, 2012, the Company sustained a loss on foreign exchange in Brazil of $304,626 or $0.05 per share included in income from continuing operations.

The Company accounts for its foreign exchange derivative instruments by recognizing all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value, which may result in additional volatility in both current period earnings and other comprehensive income as a result of recording recognized and unrecognized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of January 31, 2013. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2013.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon an evaluation performed as of January 31, 2013 and throughout FY13, we have identified a material weakness surrounding our internal control over international financial reporting and review. In response to the material weakness management is restructuring its international financial review process and believes these changes will remediate the issue. Further, this weakness did not result in any significant adjustment to the financial statements.

Since the Company now qualifies as a smaller reporting company, there is no longer an attestation requirement for management’s assessment of internal control by the Company’s independent auditors.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Lakeland Industries, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during Lakeland's fourth quarter 2013, other than the material weakness described above, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materiality affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
