NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

A. Inventories:
   Inventories consist of the following:
                             April 30,       January 31,
                              1997             1997
  Raw materials              $2,649,863       $2,669,254
  Work in process             3,651,766        3,124,141
  Finished goods              2,945,007        4,100,761
                            ---------        ---------                    
                             $9,246,636       $9,894,156
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, 1997 and 
1996 is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding 
and common share equivalents.

C.  Revolving Credit Facility:
At April 30, 1997, the balance outstanding under the Company's secured 
revolving credit facility amounted to $5,675,000.  The Company was in 
compliance with all loan covenants at April 30, 1997. 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.

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
holders 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 SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          
Three months ended April 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended 
April 30, 1996:  
  Net sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 increased $1,472,000 or 
14% to $12,014,000 from $10,542,000 reported for the corresponding period 
of the prior year. Steadying of the customer base and increased unit 
shipments of various protective garment products are the principle reasons 
for the change. The Company  believes that a decrease in unit shipments 
negatively affecting sales during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was 
primarily attributable to the Federal Government's partial shut-down 
between October 1995 and April 1996. This affected direct agency purchasing 
and government contractors and subcontractors purchasing in the Company's 
industry in the prior year period. This industry continues to be highly 
competitive. Net sales increased 6.9% during the quarter ended April 30, 
1997 as compared to the immediate preceding quarter, principally due to 
volume.
  However, gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 19.2% 
for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 from 19.9% reported for the 
corresponding period of the prior year, principally due to some products 
imported for sale during the current year quarter being sold at lower 
margins. Gross profit margins increased by 4.5% during the quarter ended 
April 30, 1997 from the immediate preceding quarter, principally due to 
the increase in sales volume.
  Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.1% for 
the quarter ended April 30, 1997 from 12.4% for the corresponding period 
of the prior year, as sales increased by 14% and selling and general and 
administrative expenses increased by only 10.8%.
  Interest expense decreased as borrowing decreased during the current 
year quarter.
  As a result of the foregoing, net income increased to $471,000 for the 
quarter ended April 30, 1997 from $418,000 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, 1997 balance sheet shows a strong current ratio 
and working capital position and management believes that its positive
financial position, together with its credit agreement, will provide 
sufficient funds for operating purposes for the next twelve months.
