Introduction


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q or in any other presentation, statements which are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They also include statements containing a projection of sales, earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial terms.

The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are based upon our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future operations and economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from expectations are:


·The effect of the recent settlement of the Brazilian arbitration proceeding pursuant to which we are required to pay out approximately $8.5 million over six years;
·Risks associated with our failure to be in compliance with certain covenants in our loan agreement with TD Bank;
·Our ability to obtain fabrics and components from suppliers and manufacturers at competitive prices or prices that vary from quarter to quarter;
·Risks associated with our international manufacturing and start-up sales operations;
·Potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
·Our ability to respond to rapid technological change;
·Our ability to identify and complete acquisitions or future expansion;
·Our ability to manage our growth;
·Our ability to recruit and retain skilled employees, including our senior management;
·Our ability to accurately estimate customer demand;
·Competition from other companies, including some with greater resources;
·Risks associated with sales to foreign buyers;
·Restrictions on our financial and operating flexibility as a result of covenants in our credit facilities;
·Our ability to obtain additional funding to expand or operate our business as planned;
·The impact of potential product liability claims;
·Liabilities under environmental laws and regulations;
·Fluctuations in the price of our common stock;
·Variations in our quarterly results of operations;
·The cost of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules and regulations relating to corporate governance and public disclosure;
·The significant influence of our directors and executive officers on our companyCompany and on matters subject to a vote of our stockholders;
·The impact of a decline in federal funding for preparations for terrorist incidents;
·The limited liquidity of our common stock;
·The other factors referenced in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, in the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” TheOperations” and the factors described under “Risk Factors” disclosed in our fiscal 20112012 Form 10-K.10-K, as modified in this Form 10-Q.

We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Form 10-Q might not occur. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.

There are two general equity plans, the 2006 and 2009 equity plans,incentive plan and a nonemployee director option plan. EachUpon the approval of the 2006 and2012 plan by stockholders of the Company in June 2012, the ability to make grants under the 2009 plansrestricted stock plan was terminated. The 2012 plan has the identical structure and each plan includes all of the components described below:

 Nature and terms
Restricted Stock Plan - employeesLong-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 – DirectorsLong-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 programAll 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 - employeesAll 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.
  
Director fee in stock programAll 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.
  
Non-employee director stock option planThe 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.

The performance based awards are not considered stock equivalents for earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation purposes.

The Company has received notice from the IRS on March 21, 2011, that it will shortly commence an audit for the FY09 tax return.


Our three major foreign tax jurisdictions are China, Canada and Brazil. According to China tax regulatory framework, there is no statute of limitationslimitation on fraud or any criminal activities to deceive tax authorities. However, the general practice is going back five years, and general practice for records maintenance is 15 years. Our China subsidiaries were audited during the tax year 2007 for the tax years 2006, 2005 and 2004. Those audits were conducted in the ordinary course of business. China tax authorities did not perform tax audits in the ordinary course of business during tax years 2008, 2009, 2010 or during the current year as of current filing date. 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 have 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 20102011 with no significant issues noted. WeAs of this statement filing date, we believe our tax positions are reasonably stated, and we do not anticipate any future tax liability from FY12 or earlier operations.

stated.

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.


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 at the company'sCompany's Brazilian counsel's suggestion. The Company has not received anya formal communicationclaim from the authorities. Since there is no formal claim received,authorities in the amount of USD$1.1 million ($R2.3 million) (mostly fines and there may not be suchpenalty). The Company has filed a claimlawsuit in anyorder to cancel this claim. We are still in first administrative level, in case management and counsel are at this time and are unable to determine the likely outcome of any such potential claim and whetherloss we can appeal for other administrative level. Management believes it is probable, possible or remote that any significant liability might be incurred. However, thiswe will have success in our defense at the administrative level. In case we go to Judicial Level, management believes the chance of loss is remote.

The structure of our 2008 acquisition 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’sCompany’s books through OctoberJuly 31, 2011,2012, resulting from the tax deduction of the goodwill amortization is approximately USD$730,000. 


808,000. 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.

11.11.Derivative Instruments and Foreign Currency Exposure

The Company has foreign currency exposure, principally through sales in Canada, Brazil, China, Argentina, Chile and the UK, and production in Brazil, Mexico and China. 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 the Argentina Peso 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. Management has decided not to hedge its long position in the Chinese Yuan orYuan. Management previously had not hedged the Brazilian Real.Real, but commenced doing so in May 2012. We designated the forward contracts as derivatives not designated as hedgingnonhedging instruments with loss and gain recognized in the current earnings. In the three-monthsthree and six-months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2011,2012, the Company sustained a pre-tax loss on foreign exchange in Brazil of $340,000$(375,741) or $(0.05)$(0.07) per share and $(691,528) or $(0.13) per share, respectively included in netpre-tax income from continuing operations. In the three and six months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2010,2011, the Company recorded a gain on foreign exchange in Brazil of $161,000$28,083 or $0.03$0.005 per share and $248,850 or $0.05 per share, respectively included in netpre-tax 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.


Currently, we have two types of derivatives to manage the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. We enter into forward contracts with financial institutions to manage our currency exposure related to netcertain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Those forward contracts derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are generally settled quarterly.quarterly or monthly. Gain and loss on forward contracts are includingincluded in current earnings. We also enter cash flow hedge contracts with financial institutions to manage our currency exposure on future cash payments denominated in foreign currencies. The effective portion of gain or loss on cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Our hedge positions are summarized below:

12. VAT Tax Issue in Brazil

Asserted Claims

VAT tax in Brazil is both at the federal and state level, but the larger amount is at the state level. We commenced operations in Brazil in May 2008 through an acquisition of Lakeland Brasil,Qualytextil, S.A. (“Qualytextil”, “QT”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.

In October 2009, QT received an

The audit notice from Bahia claimingclaimed that the taxes paid to Recife/PernambucoRecife-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, $R2.1 million (US$1.1 million) of this amnesty payment has since been partially recouped as credits against future taxes due.

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 USD $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.
Amounts from Preacquisition Period; Escrow
The initially asserted tax claims of R$4.8 million (R$10.4 million with penalty and interest) (US$3.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively) all relate to imports during the period 2004-2006, prior to the QT acquisition by the Company in May 2008. At the closing, there were several escrow funds established to protect the Company from contingencies as discussed herein. One seller has released, to the Company, his escrow with a balance of R$1.0 (US$0.6) million as an indemnification payment for this claim. Lakeland has filed a claim against the remaining funds in escrow. The remaining funds in escrow have a total current balance of R$2.1 (US$1.3) million.

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$3.9)3.1) million and fines and penalties of R$4.96.1 (US$3.1)3.0) million, for a total of R$11.112.3 (US$6.9)6.2) 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$0.4 (US$0.3)0.2) million in respect of fines and penalties will be successfully defended based on state auditor misunderstanding.

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$3.9)3.1) million exposure, R$3.4 (US$2.1)1.7) million is eligible for future credit. The R$2.8 (US$1.7) million balance is subject to indemnification from the Seller of QT to the

Company and the Company is in the process of pursuing this claim through an arbitration proceeding in progress. Also, there is $0.1 million our attorney informs us is a mistake made by the state auditor, which he believes will be successfully defended.


CompanyBrazilian counsel advises the Company that in hisits 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$3.9)3.1) million plus assessed fines and interest bringing the judicial deposit needed to approximately R$11.112.3 (US$6.9)6.2) million. The initial estimated time period to Judicial Court deposit was 1.5-2 years.

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, 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.


3A definition of this term“Desenvolve” is givenan incentive remaining from Brazil’s hyperinflationary days about 10 years ago. It is based on page 57the 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 January 31, 2011, Form 10-K.70% (or 56% of the total).

(1) Our attorney informs us that based on the slow progress so far in the administrative proceedings for the 2007-2009 claim, that believesthey believe it is now more likely than not that the next amnesty will arrive prior to the need to pay the R$11.112.3 judicial deposit. Therefore, the most likely cash flow outlook in management’s opinion is as follows:

R$3.1 (US$1.9) million 2004-2006 Judicial depositQuarter One Fiscal year 2013
R$6.2 (US$3.9) million 2007-2009 claim into amnestyQuarter One Fiscal year 2013 to Quarter Three Fiscal year 2013

R$6.2 (US$3.1) million 2007-2009 claim into amnesty     From Quarter Three Fiscal year 2013 to Quarter Four Fiscal Year 2013

Further, management believes it will behas been able to satisfy the R$3.1 (US$1.9)1.6) million judicial depositdeposits by pledging real estate owned rather than paying cash.

At the next amnesty period:

·
If before judicial process - still administration proceeding - the Company would pay justonly 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 desenvolve3 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 desenvolve3 and interest.
·
The desenvolve3 is scheduled to expire on February 2013 and will be partially phased out starting February 2011. Based on the anticipated timing of the next amnesty, there may be little amounts of lost desenvolve3 since it would largely expire on its own terms in any case.

 Possible Recourse Actions

The Company’s counsel has reviewed potential actions against sellers under indemnification proceedings, including possible claims on postacquisition exposure resulting from misrepresentations, and has begun arbitration proceedings against two of the selling stockholders. The Company is also evaluating potential action for recourse against other parties involved in the original transactions.
When the Company receives the remaining funds from escrow, this will be recorded as a gain at such time. Any further indemnifications from the sellers and potential other parties will also be recorded as a gain at such time as received.

The Company has also asserted indemnification rights under its Share Purchase Agreement with the sellers and has other legal avenues for recoupment of these monies against both the sellers and will in the future against negligent third parties. Such recoupment, if successful, will be reported as profits over future periods when and if collected.

14. Brazil Management and Share Purchase Agreement

Agreement-Arbitration and Subsequent Event

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 19, 2010,8, 2012, the president and V.P.Company received notice of Operations (the “two terminated sellers”)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 (“QT”SPP”), Lakeland’s Brazil subsidiary,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 a SPP would not otherwise be payable. In May 2010, the Company terminated the former officers for cause.

In the arbitration proceeding, the former officers sought a determination that they were terminated by the Company without cause as a resultand, therefore, entitled to be paid their portion of numerous documented breachesthe Maximum SPP and the monthly remuneration that they would have been paid from the date of termination through the end of their Management Agreements (“MA”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 non-compete clauses of each of the stock purchase agreement and management agreements were null and non-applicable. 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 resolves 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 QTthe Qualytextil, S.A. acquisition, and misrepresentations(B) R$706,000 (approximately US $350,000) was paid directly by the Company; (ii) R$2 million (approximately US $1.0 million) is payable on or before December 31, 2012; and (iii) the balance of $6.0 million of the Settlement Amount will be made in their Share PurchaseUnited 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, (“SPA”)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.

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 (see Note 12). Lakeland also agreed to become a co-obligor, in lieu of a guarantor, for payment of the Settlement Amount.

Previously, the Company recorded a current liability of US $10,000,000 in respect of the arbitration proceeding. The Company has recorded a revised settlement liability at net present value of $7.0 million, by applying a risk-free interest rate of 1.58% to discount the non-interest bearing payment schedule. Together with Lakeland. estimated total fees for the settlement of $856,000, the total cost for the settlement is now estimated at $7.9 million and a $2.1 million reduction in the $10 million charge taken at the first quarter of FY13 has been recorded.

As a result of these breachesthe Settlement Agreement, one or more events of default are continuing under the Company’s loan and misrepresentations, Lakelandsecurity agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”) and TD Bank may, at its option, accelerate the loan. There is currently approximately $15.1 million outstanding under the Loan Agreement. While TD Bank has taken the positionorally indicated that it iswould not obligated to pay their share or 65% of any Supplemental Purchase Price (“SPP”) due in 2011 pursuantobject to the SPA.

He holdsotherwise operate within the remaining 35%terms of the SPA and SPP totals.

Lakeland and the two terminated sellers unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate a settlement. The claim is now in arbitration. Lakeland has asserted further damages in such arbitration proceeding as more fully discussed in Note 13. The matter is currently being arbitrated with a decision expected in March 2012. Should the terminationsLoan Agreement, however, no assurance can be determined by the Arbiters not to be for cause, there could be a payment up to approximately $10.3 million USD payable to the two terminated individuals, or $5.5 million to one and $4.8 million to the other.  These payments reflect contractual provisionsgiven that entitle these individuals to maximum earn-out payments should they be terminated without cause. Based on the actual results of calendar 2010 as contractually specified, no supplemental purchase price has been earned. Management believes it has strong evidence to support its case that the terminations were properly for cause and believes it is probable that there will be no liability to the Company. As such, no accrual has been made. However, as with most judicial proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred.  The current balance in the escrow fund is approximately $1.3 million USD which, if released by the arbitration panel to the Company will representwork out a gain contingency, netsatisfactory arrangement with TD Bank or that TD Bank will not accelerate the loan.

The Company continues to strongly believe that the Brazilian arbitration decision is inconsistent with the underlying facts. However, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement to eliminate the uncertainty, burden, risk, expense and distraction of legal feesfurther arbitration or litigation

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 other related costs.

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.

Item 2.  Management’s2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Form 10-Q 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.


See Part I, Item 1.

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.


25


We have operated manufacturing facilities in Mexico since 1995, in China since 1996 in India since 2007 and in Brazil since 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 are available domestically. As we have increasingly moved production of our products to our facilities in China, Mexico and China,Brazil (other than issues with the Navy contract as discussed herein), we have seen improvements in the profit margins for these products. We completedproducts except for cost increases early in the movingsecond quarter of productionFY13 for which transfer pricing has been adjusted effective in the third quarter of our reusable woven garments and gloves to these facilities in fiscal 2010. As a result, we have seen cost improvements for these particular product lines as well and, as a result, we expect to see continuing profit margin improvements for these product lines over time.


FY13.

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.


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. 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 offers a growth rebate to certain distributors each year on a calendar - yearcalendar-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 booked on a monthly basis as a reduction to revenue and an increase to liabilities if the accrual is increased and the reverse if the trend goes in the opposite direction over the prior year in a given month. Based on volume and products purchased, distributors can earn anywhere from 1% to 4% 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.


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.


26

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 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.terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts 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.


Uncertain Tax Positions. The Company adopted the guidance for uncertainly in income taxes effective February 1, 2007. This guidance prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax benefit is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under this guidance, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold.

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.


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.


Foreign Currency Risks. The functional currency for the Brazil operation is the Brazil Real; the United Kingdom, the Euro;Euro, the trading company in China, the RenminBi; the Canada Real Estate, the Canadian dollar;dollar, and the Russia operation, the Russian Ruble.


Ruble and Kazakhstan Tenge. All other operations have the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. 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.

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.


27


Loss 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.


Significant Balance Sheet Fluctuation OctoberJuly 31, 2011,2012, As Compared to January 31, 2011


2012

Cash increased by $0.8 million as TD borrowings increased by $0.8 million at July 31, 2012, with all TD borrowings including $6.1 million in term loans now classified as current. Accounts receivables increased $1.8 million, primarily due to the increase of sales in the six months ended July 31, 2012 in Brazil of $1.8 million or 22.3% from the six months ended January 31, 2012, primarily resulting from our Brazilian Navy contract. Inventory decreased by $6,418$2.6 million, including the $1.6 million of which decrease was in the U.S., with $0.8 million in chemical, as borrowings under the revolving credit facilitywe changed our inventory mix to Lakeland branded products only. Our wovens division inventory decreased $1.0 million as a planned reduction as we physically moved this division from Missouri to Alabama. Accounts payables increased by $1.2$3.6 million at October 31, 2011. Borrowings under the new term loan facility increased by $3.7 million. Increased borrowing was utilizeddue primarily to fund capital expenditures in Mexico and Brazil. Accounts receivable increased by $0.9the $1.7 million mainly resulting from an increase in salesChina payables as more materials are sourced and purchased in China and in Brazil in respect of raw material for the monthNavy Contract, all of October.


Inventory increased by $2.2 million, mainly reflectingwhich are paid on a buildupmore prolonged schedule than the average payable. As a result of the Settlement Agreement in Brazil, the balance sheet now reflects a total accrual of $7.9 million, with $5.3 million in anticipation of large bid contractsnon-current with $1.8 million current maturity and exchange rate differences and an increase in China reflecting the need to source the raw materials locally. Prepaid taxes and other assets decreased by $0.6 million mainly due to VAT and other taxes refundable in Europe and China and the use of prepaid VAT tax credits resulting from last year’s payment to the amnesty program in Brazil.

Three Months Ended Octobermonths ended July 31, 20112012, As Compared to the Three Months Ended OctoberJuly 31, 2010


2011

Net Sales.Net sales from continuing operations decreased $1.0$2.3 million, or 3.6%9%, to $24.7$23.5 million for the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2011,2012, from $25.7$25.8 million for the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2010.2011. The net decrease was due to a $4.5 million decrease of $3.6 million in domestic sales offset in part by ana $1.8 million increase of $2.6 million in foreign sales. ExternalUSA domestic sales of disposables decreased by $3.9 million, chemical suit sales decreased by $0.2 million, wovens decreased by $0.1 million and reflective sales decreased by $0.5 million. The decrease in domestic sales was mainly due to the loss of the DuPont product sales as a result of the termination of the DuPont supply contract in July 2011, and partially due to a shortage in stock situation that management believes has been resolved (but may have continuing impact resulting from lost customers), and also to operating inefficiencies resulting from the move from St. Joseph, MO to Decatur, AL and Mexico which resulted in additional lost sales. The sales team continues to make progress in converting customers from Tyvek, previously supplied DuPont product, to Lakeland branded products. Currently, the decreased sales due to the loss of the DuPont contract have not been offset by such sales of Lakeland branded products; however, the sales achieved from Lakeland branded products have greater gross profit margins than the DuPont Tyvek products, lessening the impact of the revenue reduction. While the Company’s sales of Lakeland branded products show strong gains over the Lakeland branded product sales from China were slightly lower than the year ago period. This is due in large part to a decline in direct container shipments to the US, resulting from high stock levels at larger customerssame period in the US afterprior year, it will take time to rebuild the Gulf oil spill.lost sales volume, for which there can be no assurance.

Gross Profit.Gross profit from continuing operations increased $0.2decreased $0.7 million, or 3.2%8.6%, to $7.4$7.1 million for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2011,2012, from $7.2$7.8 million for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2010.2011. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 30.0%was flat at 30% for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2011,2012, from 28.0%30.2% for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2010.2011. Major factors driving the changes in gross margins were:


28


o*Disposables margins increased 6.8 percentage points in the second quarter of FY13 over the second quarter of FY12, resulting mainly from changed sales mix of nearly all Lakeland branded products this year, while last year had more than 50% 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.
*China manufacturing gross margin at our Weifang plant decreased 10 percentage points over last year due to a 12% labor cost increase and the negative impact to margins from sales to our UK operations in Euros.
*China margins in our Beijing Trading Company increased 2.8 percentage points, based on continued strong operations.
*Brazil margin decreased by $1.4 million this year compared with last year. This decrease was mainly14.3 percentage points in the second quarter of FY13 from the second quarter of FY12 entirely due to lower volume and lower marginsissues with the Brazilian Navy contract.  This contract was to supply coveralls to the Brazilian Navy made from Fire-Resistant cotton for a total value of approximately USD$5 million.  The Brazilian currency weakened significantly in quarter three this year resulting fromMay 2012, thereby greatly increasing the sale in the current year of finished goodsmaterial cost purchased from DuPont at a much lower margin than in the prior year.
oBrazil’s gross margin was 44.9% this year compared with 41.7% last year. This increase was largelyUSA supplier. Further, due to the sales mix.length of time elapsed since the bid was submitted; there were increases in the material invoiced cost, along with a need to change certain components at a higher cost.
o*Chemical division gross margin increased six percentage points resulting from sales mix.
oCanada gross margin increased 1.4 percentage points due to higher volume and favorable exchange rates.
oUK gross margin increased by 12.7 percentage points over the prior year due to more favorable market conditions and higher volume.

Net Income (Loss). Net income increased by $1.1 million to $1.6 million for the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2010. Our effective tax rate for quarter three fiscal 2012, was due to near consolidated breakeven taxable income and goodwill write-offs in Brazil.


Net Income from continuing Operations.  Net income from continuing operations decreased to $0.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2011 from $0.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2010, mainly due to the decreased volume and margins from disposables sales and the foreign exchange losses in Brazil.

Without this adjustment, net loss would have been $0.5 million, or $(0.09) per share.

Net Sales.Net sales from continuing operations increased $1.5decreased $3.9 million, or 2.0%7.7%, to $76.2$47.5 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2011,2012, from $74.7$51.4 million for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2010.2011. The net increasedecrease was due to ana $9.4 million decrease in domestic sales, offset in part by a $5.4 million increase of $6.3 million in foreign sales, offset by a decrease of $4.8 million in domestic sales. External sales from China decreased by $1.1 million, reflecting lower direct container shipments into the USA offset by sales to the new Australian distributor and domestic sales in China. Canadian sales increased by $0.5 million, or 10.2%, UK sales increased by $1.1 million, or 31.5%, Chile sales increased by $0.4 million, or 43.4%, Argentina sales increased by $0.2 million, or 34%, US domestic sales of disposables decreased by $7.7$1.2 million, mainly due to loss of Tyvek sales, chemical suit salesas wovens increased by $0.3$0.4 million, wovens decreased by $1.1 million, reflective sales increased by $1.1 million, or 37.4%, and glove sales increased by $0.3 million. The decrease in disposable sales is due primarily to the loss of the DuPont Tyvek sales, to a shortage in stock situation that management believes has been resolved (but may have continuing impact resulting from lost customers), and also to operating inefficiencies resulting from the move from St. Joseph, MO to Decatur, AL and Mexico which resulted in additional lost sales, and a decline in direct container shipments to the USA resulting from high stock levels from larger customers in the USA after the Gulf oil spill in the prior year. External sales from China were up $4.5 million from the year ago period. In addition, domestic sales in China and to the Asia Pacific Rim remain strong recording a $1.0 million increase for the six months ended July 31, 2012. UK sales increased by $1.5 million, or 45.7%, and Chile and Argentina sales increased by 0.6%. Sales in Brazil were upincreased by $4.0$1.8 million or 44.5%22.3%.

The increase in foreign sales is primarily due to introduction of new products and new marketing material targeting specific markets.

Major factors driving the changes in gross margins were:


o*Disposables gross margins increased 5.1 percentage points in the second quarter of FY13 over in the second quarter of FY12, resulting mainly from changed sales mix of nearly all Lakeland branded products this year, while last year had more than 50% sales derived from lower margin DuPont products. This year’s margin was lower than it otherwise would have been mainly as a result of lower volume.
*China manufacturing gross margins at our Weifang plant decreased by 4.210 percentage points this year compared withover last year resulting from lower volumedue to a 12% labor cost increase in April 2012 and the negative impact to margins from sales to our UK operations in Euros.
*China margins in our Beijing Trading Company increased 3.3 percentage points based on continued strong operations.
*Brazil margins decreased by 4.3 percentage points in the current yearsecond quarter of finished goodsFY13 from the second quarter of FY12 entirely due to issues with the Brazilian Navy contract. The Brazilian currency weakened significantly in May, thereby greatly increasing its material cost purchased from DuPonta 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 much lower margin thanhigher cost.
*Wovens gross margins decreased by approximately 8.5 percentage points in the six months ended July 2012 over the prior year when we manufactured these items ourselves.
oBrazil’s gross margin was 42.3% this year compared with 45.9% last year. This decrease was largely due toas a larger bid contractresult of the facility closure in the previous year.first quarter of FY13, partially offset by improvements in the second quarter of FY13.

Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures principally relate to purchases of building and equipment in Brazil, manufacturing equipment, computer equipment and leasehold improvements.

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.

During March 2010, a comprehensive health care reform legislation was signed into law in the USUSA under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended  by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Acts”).  Included among the major provisions of the law is a change in tax treatment of the federal drug subsidy paid with respect to Medicare-eligible retirees.  This change did not have a significant impact because the Company operates its principal drug plan for Medicare-eligible retirees as secondary to Medicare and manages Medicare Part D reimbursement through a third-partythird- party administrator.  The effect of the Acts on the Company’s other long-term employee benefit obligation and cost depends on finalization of related regulatory requirements.  The Company will continue to monitor and assess the effect of the Acts as the regulatory requirements are finalized.

PART IIII. OTHER INFORMATION


Items

Item 1.          Legal Proceedings.

The Company 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.  Subsequently, on May 14, 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 a SPP would not otherwise be payable. In May 2010, the Company terminated the former officers for cause.

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 non-compete clauses of each of the stock purchase agreement and management agreements were null and non-applicable. 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 resolves 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) is payable on or before December 31, 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.]

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. Lakeland also agreed to become a co-obligor, in lieu of a guarantor, for payment of the Settlement Amount.

The Company continues to strongly believe that the Brazilian arbitration decision is inconsistent with the underlying facts. However, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement to eliminate the uncertainty, burden, risk, expense and distraction of further arbitration or litigation.

Item 1A.       Risk Factors.

The following risk factor supplements the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2012:

As a result of the Company’s recent settlement of its arbitration proceeding in Brazil, the Company will be required to obtain additional capital, for which there can be no assurance, and its loan with TD Bank may become accelerated. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain the requisite capital or in the event the TD Bank loan is accelerated, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations would be materially impaired.

As further described under Part II, Item 1 2, 3“Legal Proceedings,” the Company, on September 11, 2012, entered into a Settlement Agreement with two former officers of its Brazilian subsidiary, Lakeland Brasil, pursuant to which 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, of which approximately US$1,500,000 was paid upon execution of the Settlement Agreement. [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 5penalties, less prior payments, which represents the original arbitral award inclusive of all taxes, expenses, interest and applicable adjustments.]

The Company 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. 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. In addition, even if the Company were to pay such amounts, there nonetheless could be a material adverse effect on its liquidity and thereby materially adversely affect operations.

The Company continues to be in discussions with TD Bank about resolution of these matters and is continuing to otherwise operate within the terms of the Loan Agreement, however, no assurance can be given that the Company will work out a satisfactory arrangement with TD Bank or that TD Bank will not accelerate the loan.
