                              CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

     This report may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than
statements of historical fact included in this report, including, without
limitation, the statements under the heading "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the
Company's financial position and liquidity, the Company's strategic
alternatives, future capital needs, development and capital expenditures
(including the amount and nature thereof), future net revenues, business
strategies, and other plans and objectives of management of the Company for
future operations and activities.

     Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses
made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical
trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it
believes are appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are subject
to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and factors in the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), general economic and business conditions, the business
opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by the Company, changes in
law or regulations and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of
the Company. Readers are cautioned that these statements are not guarantees of
future performance, and the actual results or developments may differ materially
from those projected in any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written
and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons
acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these
cautionary statements.

           Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the first-in, first-out method.

5. Earnings Per Share:

           Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding without consideration of potential common shares.
Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
and potential common shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share
calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of
stock options, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds
received from the exercise, based on the average price during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share at April 30.

Options to purchase 1,000 and 3,000 shares of the Company's common stock have
been excluded for the three months ended April 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively,
as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

6. Revolving Credit Facility:

           At April 30, 2002, the balance outstanding under the Company's
secured $18 million revolving credit facility amounted to $16,965,295. This
facility, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and
inventory, as defined, expires on July 31, 2002. Borrowings under the facility
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2%. The
Company is presently in the process of negotiating the renewal of the facility.
At April 30, 2002, the balance outstanding under the Company's five year term
loan is $985,053. The term loan is payable in monthly installments of $89,550,
plus interest payable at the 30-day commercial paper rate, plus 2.45%. The
credit facility and term loan are collateralized by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries.
The credit facility and term loan contain financial covenants, including, but
not limited to, minimum levels of earnings and maintenance of minimum tangible
net worth and other certain ratios at all times.

7. Major Supplier

           The Company purchased approximately 79.4% of its raw materials from
one supplier under licensing agreements during the three month period ended
April 30, 2002. The Company expects this relationship to continue for the
foreseeable future. If required, similar raw materials could be purchased from
other sources; although, the Company's competitive position in the marketplace
could be affected.

                   LAKELAND INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended April 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended April 30,
2001:

           Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2002
increased $1,209,000 or 6.2 % to $20,643,000 from $19,435,000 reported for the
three months ended April 30, 2001. The increase in sales was principally
attributable to the Company's April 1, 2002 price increase and an improving
economy. This industry continues to be highly competitive.

           Gross Profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended April 30, 2002
increased by $777,000 or 22.9% to $4,174,000 from $3,397,000 for the quarter
ended April 30, 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to
20.2% for the three months ended April 30, 2002 from 17.5% reported for the
prior year, principally due to the increase in selling prices, and a decrease in
labor, freight and insurance costs. Commencing in March, the Company incurred an
increase in the cost of raw materials (from a major supplier), which will have
an effect on margins for the remainder of this fiscal year.

           Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the quarter ended April
30, 2002 increased by $549,000 or 25.2% to $2,728,000 or 13.2 % of net sales,
from $2,179,000 or 11.2% of net sales, for the quarter ended April 30, 2001.
Operating expenses increased principally as a result of increased commissions
and salaries, R&D expense, insurance expense and bad debt expense.

           Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower
interest costs reflecting a decrease in average borrowings under the Company's
credit facilities and decreasing interest rates.

           Income Tax Expense. The effective tax rate for the three months ended
April 30, 2002 and 2001 of 30% and 27.9%, respectively, deviates from the
Federal statutory rate of 34%, which is primarily attributable to differing
foreign tax rates and state income taxes.

           Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased to
$896,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2002 or 30% from net income of
$689,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2001.

LIQUIDITY and CAPITAL RESOURCES

           Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's working capital is
equal to $17,457,000 at April 30, 2002. The Company's primary sources of funds
for conducting its business activities have been from cash flow provided by
operations and borrowings under its credit facilities. The Company requires
liquidity and working capital primarily to fund increases in inventories and
accounts receivable associated with sales growth and, to a lesser extent, for
capital expenditures.

           Net cash used in operating activities was $310,000 for the quarter
ended April 30, 2002 and was due primarily to an increase in accounts
receivables of $883,000 a decrease in inventories of $824,000 and net income
from operations of $896,000, offset by a decrease in accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other current liabilities and long-term liabilities of $1,545,000.

           Net cash provided by financing activities of $743,000 was primarily
attributable to net borrowings during the quarter in connection with the term
loan and revolving credit facility.

           The revolving credit facility permits the Company to borrow up to a
maximum of $18 million. The revolving credit agreement expires on July 31, 2002
and has therefore been classified as a short-term liability in the accompanying
balance sheet at April 30, 2002. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility
amounted to approximately $16,965,000 at April 30, 2002. The $3 million
term-loan agreement entered into in November 1999 has an outstanding balance of
$985,000 and expires on March 31,2003.

           The Company believes that cash flow from operations and the revolving
credit facility (upon renewal) will be sufficient to meet its currently
anticipated operating, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at
least the next twelve months. Historically, the Company has been able to renew
its credit facility on acceptable terms, however there can be no assurance that
such financing will continue to be available.

Foreign Currency Activity

           The Company's foreign exchange exposure is principally limited to the
relationship of the U.S. Dollar to the Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar and the
Chinese RMB.
