ITEM 2.
LAKELAND INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine months ended October 31, 1996 compared to the nine months ended
October 31, 1995.
  Net sales for the nine month period ended October 31, 1996 increased
$386,000 or 1.3% to $30,555,000 from $30,169,000 reported for the nine
month period ended October 31, 1995. Increased selling prices at the
beginning of the fiscal year and an increase in unit shipments of various
protective garment products are the principal reasons for this upward
movement in sales. This industry, however, continues to be highly
competitive.
  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.3% for the
nine month period ended October 31, 1996 from 16.8% reported for the
corresponding period of the prior year, principally due to the industry
wide increased selling prices and price stabilization.
  Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.1% for
the nine month period ended October 31, 1996 from 12.5% for the
corresponding period of the prior year. Expenses were incurred in a plant
relocation and the prior year period included a decrease in pension and bad
debt expenses.
  Interest expense increased as borrowings increased during the current
year nine month period.
  As a result of the foregoing, operating results increased to a net
income of $753,000 for the nine month period ended October 31, 1996 from
net income of $587,000 for the nine month period ended October 31, 1995.

Three months ended October 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended
October 31, 1995.
  Net sales for the three month period ended October 31, 1996 increased
$1,134,000 or 13% to $9,885,000 from $8,751,000 reported for the three
month period ended October 31, 1995. Increased selling prices and an
increase in unit shipments of various protective garment products are the
principal reasons for this upward movement in sales. This industry,
however, continues to be highly competitive. Net sales decreased 2.4%
during the quarter ended October 31, 1996 as compared to the immediate
preceding quarter. For the fourth consecutive year, the third quarter has
been the seasonally weakest of the fiscal year.
  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 17.5% for the
three month period ended October 31, 1996 from 19.5% reported for the
corresponding period of the prior year, due to the meeting of competitive
pricing on some products and sales during the quarter of certain disposable
products at lower margins.
  Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.8% for
the three month period ended October 31, 1996 from 13.3% for the
corresponding period of the prior year. The expense of moving the Company's
Missouri facility to a new location was the primary reason for this
increase.
  Interest expense remained steady, even as borrowings increased during the
current year three month period, due to lower market rates of interest.
  As a result of the foregoing, operating results decreased to net income
of $146,000 for the three month period ended October 31, 1996 from net
income of $258,000 for the three month period ended October 31, 1995.

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 acceptance and letters of credit. The
Company's October 31, 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.
