Item 1.  Financial Statements:
   Introduction

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial information required therein.  Certain information and
note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant to such rules
and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the year ended January 31, 1997.

     The results of operations for the three month and six month
periods ended July 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

   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 and six month periods ended July
31, 1997 and 1996 is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and common share equivalents.

C.  Revolving Credit Facility:
    At July 31, 1997, the balance outstanding under the Company's
secured revolving credit facility amounted to $5,450,000. The Company
was in compliance with all loan covenants at July 31, 1997. This
facility is collateralized by the Company's inventory and accounts
receivable and has been extended to expire on February 28, 1999.
Interest charges under this credit facility are calculated on various
optional formulas using the prime rate, LIBOR, banker's acceptances 
and letters of credit.

D   New Accounting Pronouncement:
    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", which is effective for financial statements for both interim
and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of
the new standard is not permitted. The new standard eliminates primary
and fully diluted earnings per share and requires presentation of basic
and diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of how the per
share amounts were computed. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution
and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by 
the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflect the weighted-average common shares
outstanding, plus the potential dilutive effect of options which are
convertible to common shares. The effect of adopting this new standard
has not been determined.

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

ITEM 2.
    Six months ended July 31, 1997 compared to the six months ended
July 31, 1996.
    Net sales for the six month period ended July 31, 1997 increased
$3,278,000 or 15.9% to $23,949,000 from $20,671,000 reported for the
six month period ended July 31, 1996. Increased unit shipments of
various protective garment products is the principal reason for this
upward movement in sales. This industry, however, continues to be
highly competitive.

   Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 20.2% for
the six month period ended July 31, 1997 from 18.6% reported for the
corresponding period of the prior year, principally due to increased
sales volume and not having to meet competitive pricing on the most
popular disposable products.
   Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales remained constant
at 12.8% for the six month period ended July 31, 1997 from 12.7% for
the corresponding period of the prior year, as the increase in
operating expenses was consistent with the increase in sales.

   Interest expense decreased as aggregate borrowings decreased during
the current year six month period.
   As a result of the foregoing, operating results increased to a net
income of $941,000 for the six month period ended July 31, 1997 from
net income of $608,000 for the six month period ended July 31, 1996.


    Three months ended July 31, 1997 compared to the three months
ended July 31, 1996.
   Net sales for the three month period ended July 31, 1997 increased
$1,806,000 or 17.8% to $11,935,000 from $10,129,000 reported for the
three month period ended July 31, 1996. Increased unit shipments of
various protective garment products is the principal reason for this
upward movement in sales. This industry, however, continues to be
highly competitive. Net sales decreased .65% during the quarter ended
July 31, 1997 as compared to the immediate preceding quarter.
   Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 21.2% for
the three month period ended July 31, 1997 from 17.3% reported for the
corresponding period of the prior year, principally due to not having
to meet competitive pricing on the most popular disposable products and
market stabilization.
   Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased modestly
to 13.59% for the three month period ended July 31, 1997 from 13.04%
for the corresponding period of the prior year, as operating expenses
increased in proportion to the volume increase.
   Interest expense decreased as aggregate borrowings decreased during
the current year three month period.
   As a result of the foregoing, operating results increased to a net
income of $470,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1997 from
net income of $190,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1996.

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 $8 million
facility with its Bank. This facility has been extended to mature on
February 28, 1999. 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 July 31, 1997
balance sheet shows a strong current ratio and working capital position
and management believes that its positive financial position, together
with this credit agreement, will provide sufficient funds for operating
purposes for the next twelve months.

Item 6    Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K:
     a -   None
     b -   No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the three month
