	2.     Basis of Presentation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial information required therein.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. While we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.
	Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.
	Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform to current period classification.
	The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
	In this Form 10-Q, (a) “FY” means fiscal year; thus, for example, FY14 refers to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2014 and (b) “Q” refers to quarter; thus, for example, Q3 FY14 refers to the third quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2014.

	Inventories consist of the following:

	Raw materials	$	17,059,057	$	16,361,872
	Work-in-process		1,640,632		1,812,788
	Finished goods		21,740,598		21,096,015
		$	40,440,287	$	39,270,675
	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.
	In Q3 FY14, management determined the need for inventory adjustments in the USA and Brazil totaling $1,886,000 as follows:
	USA-Change of Estimate
	Management has followed the practice of reviewing its overhead rates on a quarterly basis. In order to properly revise overhead rates, a stabilized period of reliable historical data is needed both for sales volume and for the overhead cost pool. Due to the extended loss in volume resulting from the DuPont license termination in July 2011 and the ensuing cost reduction measures taken in the US, management determined better data was now available in Q3 FY14, at which point management revised its overhead rates relating to US inventory. As a result, inventory valuation was reduced by $353,000 overall in the US, primarily related to the disposable division. Such adjustment was only applied to inventory produced or purchased in FY14.
	USA-Lower of Cost or Market
	There is one discontinued product line in the US that management had been converting to a different style for one customer and reserving the cost of conversion. While this customer continues to purchase these converted styles, during Q3 FY14, management determined that this one customer would not purchase these converted items in sufficient quantity and management will have to sell the remaining stock at a deep discount. Accordingly, an additional inventory write-down of $375,000 was determined to be appropriate.
	Brazil-Lower of Cost or Market
	In Q3 FY14, it was determined that due to the introduction of a new fabric domestically sourced in Brazil which drove down market pricing, along with significant improvements and elimination of inefficiencies in the production process, adjustments were made to inventory totaling US $810,000.
	Brazil-Obsolete
	In addition, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company identified certain inventory in Brazil as obsolete. The inventory became obsolete as a result of the introduction of competing new products into the Brazilian marketplace which rendered the inventory items obsolete. As a result, the inventory was written down to scrap value. Accordingly, during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 the Company recorded a non-cash charge against inventory of US $348,000.

Long-term Debt [Text Block]	'
	6.     Long-Term Debt
	On June 28, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lakeland Protective Wear Inc. (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Senior Loan Agreement”) with AloStar Business Credit, a division of AloStar Bank of Commerce, a state banking institution formed under Alabama law (the “Senior Lender”). The Senior Loan Agreement provides the Borrowers with a three year $15 million revolving line of credit, at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR, with a first priority lien on substantially all of the United States and Canada assets of the Company, except for the Canadian warehouse.
	On June 28, 2013, the Borrowers also entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with LKL Investments, LLC, an affiliate of Arenal Capital, a private equity fund (the “Junior Lender”). The Subordinated Loan Agreement provides for a $3.5 million term loan to be made to the Borrowers and a second priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company in the United States and Canada, except for the Canadian warehouse and except for a first lien on the Company’s Mexican facility. Pursuant to the Subordinated Loan Agreement, among other things, Borrowers issued to the Junior Lender a five year term loan promissory note (the “Note”). At the election of the Junior Lender, interest under the Note may be paid in cash, by payment in kind (PIK) in additional notes or payable in shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Interest Shares”). If shares of Common Stock are used to make interest payments on the Note, the number of Interest Shares will be based upon 100% of an average of the then current market value of the Common Stock, subject to the limitations set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreement.  The Junior Lender also, in connection with this transaction, received a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 566,015 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment), representing beneficial ownership of approximately 9.58% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, as of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subordinated Loan Agreement. The Company’s receipt of gross proceeds of $3.5 million in subordinated debt financing was a condition precedent set by Senior Lender, of which this transaction satisfied.
	The proceeds from such financings have been used to fully repay the Company’s former financing facility with TD Bank, N.A. in the amount of approximately US $13.7 million. Also repaid upon closing of the financings was the warehouse loan in Canada with a balance of CDN $1,362,000 Canadian dollars (approximately US $1,320,000), payable to Business Development Bank of Canada (“BDC”).
	The following is a summary of the material terms of the financings:
	$15 million Senior Credit Facility
		⋅	Borrowers are both Lakeland Industries, Inc. and its Canadian operating subsidiary Lakeland Protective Wear Inc.
		⋅	Borrowing pursuant to a revolving credit facility subject to a borrowing base calculated as the sum of:
		o	85% of eligible accounts receivable as defined
		o	The lesser of 60% of eligible inventory as defined or 85% of net orderly liquidation value of inventory
		o	In transit inventory in bound to the US up to a cap of $1,000,000, subject to a satisfactory appraisal of Alabama real estate, which was received and resolved in August 2013.
		o	Receivables and inventory held by the Canadian operating subsidiary to be included, up to a cap of $2 million of availability
		o	Amount available at closing was approximately $12.3 million

Management has valued the Warrant at $2.2 million. This has been treated as Original Issue Discount (OID) and is being amortized as additional interest over the five-year term of the related subordinated debt. The effective rate of return to the Junior Lender is computed by deducting the warrant valuation OID from the $3.5 million principal leaving a valuation for the debt at closing of $1.3 million. Including the 12% coupon and the amortization of the OID gives an effective per annum rate on just the debt of approximately 47%, assuming the warrant is broken out separately. However, management views this to be one blended loan or transaction along with the Senior Debt of up to $15 million at 6.25%, since the subordinated debt was a required condition of closing made by the Senior Lender.
Amounts outstanding as of October 31, 2013 under the Senior Lender Facility were $11.8 million and under the Junior Lender Facility, $3.5 million net of un-amortized original issue discount of $2.0 million for a net value of $1.5 million included in the subordinated debt on the balance sheet.

Share-Based Arrangements With Employees and Nonemployees [Abstract]	'
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	'
	8.     Employee Stock Compensation
	The Company has three main share-based payment plans:  The Nonemployee Directors Option Plan (the “Directors Plan”) and two Restricted Stock Plans (the “2009 Equity Plan” and the “2012 Equity Plan”). Both the 2009 and 2012 Equity Plans have an identical structure. The below table summarizes the main provisions of each of these plans:
		Nature and terms
	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 early 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 early 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.
	Compensation in stock in lieu of cash 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 and ending in July 2013.
	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 following table represents our stock options granted, exercised and forfeited during the nine months ended October 31, 2013.

	There were no exercises or forfeitures during the nine months ended October 31, 2013.
	Restricted Stock Plan and Performance Equity Plan
	On June 17, 2009, the stockholders of the Company approved 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 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 177,293 fully vested shares as of October 31, 2013. The Company has granted up to a maximum of 5,567 restricted stock awards remaining unvested as of October 31, 2013 and have a weighted average grant date fair value of $8.86.  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 Plan, the Company has granted 282,275 restricted stock awards as of October 31, 2013, assuming all maximum awards are achieved. All of these restricted stock awards are nonvested at October 31, 2013 (220,774 shares at “baseline”), and have a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.03. 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.
	As of October 31, 2013, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards totaled $4,807 pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and $1,425,477 pursuant to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, before income taxes, based on the maximum performance award level, less what has been charged to expense on a cumulative basis through October 31, 2013, which was set to zero. Such unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards totaled $4,807 for the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and $1,029,417 for the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan at the baseline performance level. The cost of these nonvested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years. The Board has estimated its current performance level to be at zero, and expenses have been recorded accordingly. The performance-based awards are not considered stock equivalents for earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation purposes.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company recognized total stock-based compensation costs of $179,002 and $349,530 for the nine-months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $13,881 and $124,342 result from the 2009 Equity Plan and $165,121 and $204,663 result from the 2012 Equity Plan for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0 and $20,525, respectively, from the Director Option Plan. These amounts are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The total income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation arrangements was $64,441 and $127,310 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	10.  Income Taxes
	Income Tax Audits
	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 have performed limited reviews on all China subsidiaries as of tax years 2008, 2009, 2010, 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, Weifang Lakeland Safety Products Co., Ltd., one of our China operations was notified by local tax authority that they would conduct an audit on transfer pricing. After preliminary communication with the tax authority, we believe the additional tax liability will be no more than US $16,000 or RMB100,000. At the same time, the China tax authority also had questions about why the retained earnings amount was not being repatriated to corporate and why the payments in trade payables from corporate to the sister companies were delayed, especially from US parent to our Chinese subsidiary. Additionally, the China tax authority questioned if there is any tax avoidance motive in the investment by Weifang Lakeland Safety Products Co., Ltd. of US $500,000 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.
	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's Brazilian counsel's suggestion. 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 October 31, 2013, resulting from the tax deduction of the goodwill amortization is now zero, 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.
	The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary has received notice from the Brazilian tax authorities of a claim totaling approx. US $1.0 million (R2,265,728) consisting of tax of approx. US $127,000 (R280,416) and the remainder in interest and penalty. Management believes it is probable it will ultimately prevail in this claim and as such no provision has been recorded.
	Change in Accounting Estimate/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. The valuation allowance was $4.5 million at January 31, 2013 and zero at October 31, 2013. Management has determined that as a result of improved operations in the US and the dividends received from asset sales along with other taxable effects of the recent financing, that it is now more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized in the future and therefore the valuation allowance of $4,544,431 has been reversed. The amount very favorably affected our (benefit) for income taxes, resulting in the inclusion of this $4.5 million in net income for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2013.
	Unusual Tax Charges
	As a result of the sale of its Qingdao plant, the Company received taxable dividends in the US which result in an accrual of a US deferred tax liability of $422,321 included on the balance sheet in deferred income tax. Because of our tax loss carry forwards there is no immediate current tax liability for these taxes. Further, as a result of the financing completed in June 2013, the Company incurred US taxable income from its Canadian operations which resulted in a US deferred tax liability of $100,000 included on the balance sheet in deferred income tax. Again, because of our tax loss carry forwards, no current tax liability is necessary.

	11.  Derivative Instruments and Foreign Currency Exposure
	The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. Management previously had 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. However, as a result of the financing situation with its former lender, TD Bank, the Company’s corporate hedging program has been temporarily suspended. In the third quarter of FY14, the Company has established a foreign exchange facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 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. The Company has continued its currency hedging in China. We designated the forward contracts as derivatives but not as hedging instruments, with loss and gain recognized in current earnings. In the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company sustained a gain on foreign exchange in Brazil of $115,764 or $0.02 per share included in net income. In the nine months ended October 31, 2013, the Company recorded a loss on foreign exchange in Brazil of $(271,647) or $(0.05) per share included in net income.
	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 net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Those forward contract derivatives, not designated as hedging instruments, are generally settled quarterly. Gain and loss on those forward contracts are included 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 accumulated other comprehensive income. Our hedge positions are summarized below:
	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

	12.  VAT Tax Issue in Brazil
	Please see footnote 10 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013 for a more detailed discussion.
	The Bahia state tax auditors filed several claims for VAT taxes. The claims assert 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 Company has changed its strategy regarding the large VAT tax claim as a result of the current cash flow needs in Brazil. At such time when a switch to a formal judicial proceeding is required, the Company intends to negotiate a guarantee with the court whereby the Company would either pledge its inventory as collateral for the judicial deposit or alternately would agree to deposit into an escrow account with the court system a monthly judicial deposit of a negotiated percentage of its future sales in Brazil. The Company believes it is probable it would be able to negotiate such an arrangement. The Company would then be able to avail itself of a later amnesty. Any amounts paid into the escrow would be available at such time to be applied to the amnesty payment. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will have the cash from operations or the borrowing capacity at such time to fund such amnesty payment but no assurances can be given.
	Such arrangement would result in a judicial tax claim filed against the Company for 20% greater than the total claim, or approximately US $6.7 million (R15.0 million).
	Once this arrangement is completed, the formal judicial process could take from 5 to 10 years. The Company believes there is a strong likelihood that another amnesty would be offered by the state prior to such completion.
	The Company has accepted amnesty for a smaller claim which will result in 8 monthly payments of about US $19,000 (R42,000) which reflects abatement of 80% of penalty and interest. An accrual of US $153,000 has been charged to expense and included in Other Accrual Expenses on the Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2013.
	In December 2013, the company has just learned of a different VAT tax claimed by the State of Sao Paulo for a tax in the amount of approximately US $45,000 and total claim including interest and penalty totaling approximately US $200,000.
	Management needs more time to evaluate this claim but intends to defend until the next amnesty if loss is probable and will defend totally if loss is remote. Given the lack of materiality management will make a more definite judgment in the year-end report.
	A table summarizing all five different VAT claims and their status is listed below:

	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.
	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 a payment schedule to the former officers with a balance remaining as of October 31, 2013 of $5.25 million in US dollars consisting of 21 consecutive quarterly installments of US $250,000 ending on December 31, 2018.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.

	16.  Discontinued Operations in India
	In 2011 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 attempted to sell the operations as an ongoing operation but shut down its operations in December 2011. Total assets of discontinued operations were reduced $0.2 million in the quarter primarily as a result of the sale of one of the three plots of real estate owned, as described in Note 17.
	Subsequent to October 31, 2013, management has made plans to convert one of the two remaining plants in India to manufacture a specific line of disposable products using fabric mainly sourced in India. There will be an insignificant investment needed in terms of both capital expenditure and working capital.

	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.

Effective All-In Rate Of Return Description

'

'

'

'

'

'

'

'

'

'The effective rate of return to the Junior Lender is computed by deducting the warrant valuation OID from the $3.5 million principal The effective rate of return to the Junior Lender is computed by deducting the warrant valuation OID from the $3.5 million principal leaving a valuation for the debt at closing of $1.3 million. Including the 12% coupon and the amortization of the OID gives an effective per annum rate on just the debt of approximately 47%, assuming the warrant is broken out separately.
