Asset Sales [Text Block] | 17. Asset Sales Sale of Real Estate in China In April 2013, the Company executed a contract for the sale of real estate located in Qingdao, China, which was completed on June 30, 2013. 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 net proceeds of the sale to the Company were approximately $1.0 million, received in June 2013. All production from this facility has been transferred to other Lakeland manufacturing facilities. There are no product lines which will be dropped as a result of this plant relocation. Accordingly, the operations of this plant are not being treated as a discontinued operation. This sale resulted in no significant gain or loss for financial statement purposes. However, as a result of this sale there were dividends paid to the US parent company of approximately US$1.7 million, which results in taxable income in the US, generating a tax charge of $422,321 in Q2 2014 financial statements. However, as a result of its loss carry forwards for US tax purposes, no cash tax liability has been incurred. Sale of India Property The Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) in March 28, 2013 for the sale of Plot 24, the largest of three plots held for sale by the Company, which closed on July 29, 2013. The sale price was approximately US $428,000 (INR 25,000,000), which is less than previously anticipated due to foreign exchange deterioration in the Indian Rupee. The Company collected this cash on July 29, 2013.
