     Introduction 
 
     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been 
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations

in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated

A.   Inventories: 
   Inventories consist of the following: 
                                                  April 30,       January 31,

           Raw materials                          $2,704,795        $2,980,137 
          Work in process                          4,121,249         3,225,272 
          Finished goods                           5,084,344         5,038,832 
                                                $11,910,388       $11,244,241 
   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined 
generally on the first-in, first-out method. 
B.    Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share: 
      Earnings per share for the three month periods ended April 30, 1996 and 
1995 is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and 
common share equivalents. 
 
C.    Revolving Credit Facility: 
    At April 30, 1996, the balance outstanding under the Company's secured 
revolving credit facility amounted to $6,340,000.  The Company was in 
compliance with all loan covenants at April 30, 1996. This facility  is 
collateralized by the Company's inventory and accounts receivable and expires 
on July 31, 1998. Interest charges under this credit facility are 
calculated on various optional formulas using the prime rate, LIBOR, bankers' 
acceptance and letters of credit. 
 
 
 
               LAKELAND INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY 
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
General 
         
Three months ended April 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended April 
30, 1995:     Net sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 decreased 
$119,000 or 1.1% to $10,542,000 from $10,661,000 reported for the 
corresponding period of the prior year. Steadying of the customer base, a 
price increase effective with orders received as of February 1, 1996 and 
decreased unit shipments of various protective garment products are 
the principle reasons for the slight change. The Company believes that the 
decrease in unit shipments was primarily attributable to the Federal 
Government's partial shut down between October 1995 and April 1996 which 
affected direct agency purchasing and government 
contractors and subcontractors purchasing in the Company's industry.  
This industry continues to be highly competitive. Net Sales increased 5.2%, 
during the quarter ended April 30, 1996 as compared to the immediate preceding 
quarter, principally due to the price increase mentioned above. 
    However, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 19.9% for 
the quarter ended April 30, 1996 from 17.7% reported for the corresponding 
period of the prior year, principally due to the utilization of inventory 
purchased prior to the cost of material increasing at the commencement of the 
new fiscal year, shipments to customers with the new price increase shipping 
early in the quarter and the Company not having to meet competitive pricing
on it's most popular disposable products. Gross profit margins 
increased during the quarter ended April 30, 1996 from 12.1% during the 
immediate preceding quarter, principally due to the correction of 
manufacturing difficulties that occurred in the previous quarter. 
    Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased, to 12.4% for 
the quarter ended April 30, 1996 from 12.9% for the corresponding period of 
the prior year, as cost reduction programs continue and sales decreased, 
slightly. 
    Interest expense increased as borrowing increased during the current 
year quarter.     
             
    As a result of the foregoing, net income increased to $418,000 for the 
quarter ended April 30, 1996 from $250,000 from the corresponding period of 
the prior year.             
                                            
 
LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES 
    Lakeland has historically met its cash requirements through funds generated
from operations and borrowings under a revolving credit facility. On August 
30, 1995, the Company entered into a new $8 million facility with its Bank. 
This facility matures on July 31, 1998. Interest charges under this credit 
facility are calculated on various optional formulas using the prime rate, 
LIBOR, banker's acceptances and letters of credit. 
The Company's April 30, 1996 balance sheet shows a strong current ratio and 
working capital position and management believes that its positive financial 
position, together with this new credit agreement, will provide sufficient 
funds for operating purposes for the next twelve months.
