               Inventories consist of the following:
                               October 31,     January 31,

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

C.     Revolving Credit Facility:
        At October 31, 1997, the balance outstanding under the Company's 
$8,000,000 secured revolving credit facility
amounted to $7,250,000.  The Company was in compliance with
all loan covenants at October 31, 1997. This Facility is
collateralized by the Company's inventories and accounts
receivable, expires on February 28, 1999 and interest charges
are calculated on various optional formulas using the prime
rate, LIBOR, banker's acceptance and letters of credit. The
facility contains restrictive covenants including minimum
tangible net worth, capital expenditures, current ratio and
interest coverage.

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.

E.     Stock Options:
     During the nine months ended October 31, 1997, an
aggregate of 10,000 shares were exercised under the
Company's Non-Employee Directors Option Plan by directors and
an aggregate of 50,472 shares were exercised under the
Company's Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan by
employees for total cash proceeds $92,738.

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

Nine months ended October 31, 1997 compared to the nine
months ended October 31, 1996.
       Net sales for the nine month period ended October 31,
1997 increased $4,486,000 or 14.7% to $35,041,000
from $30,555,000 reported for the nine month period ended
October 31, 1996. Increased unit shipments of various
protective garment products is the principle 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
20.5% for the nine month period ended October 31, 1997
from 18.3% reported for the corresponding period of the prior
year, principally due to increased sales volume.
     Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales remained
constant at 13.4% for the nine month period ended October 31,
1997 from 13.1% 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 first nine months of the current period.
     As a result of the foregoing, operating results
increased to a net income of $1,299,000 for the nine month
period ended October 31, 1997 from net income of $753,000 for
the nine month period ended October 31, 1996 or an increase
of 72.5%.

Three months ended October 31, 1997 compared to the three
months ended October 31, 1996.
     Net sales for the three month period ended October 31,
1997 increased $1,207,000 or 12.2% to $11,092,000
from $9,885,000 reported for the three month period ended
October 31, 1996. Increased unit shipments of various
protective garment products is the principle reason for this
upward movement in sales. This industry, however, continues
to be highly competitive. Net sales decreased 7% during the
quarter ended October 31, 1997 as compared to the immediate
preceding quarter. The third quarter of each fiscal year has
historically been the weakest in sales volume, due to the
effect that worker vacations and high summer temperatures
have on the use of garments during the late summer.
     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to
21.1% for the three month period ended October 31, 1997
from 17.5% 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
price stabilization.
     Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased modestly to 14.7% for the three month period ended
October 31, 1997 from 13.8% for the corresponding period of
the prior year, as operating expenses increased at a slightly
higher rate than the sales volume increase.
     Interest expense decreased as aggregate daily borrowings
were higher during the prior year three month period.
      As a result of the foregoing, operating results
increased to a net income of $357,000 or 145% increase for
the three month period ended October 31, 1997 from net income
of $146,000 for the three month period ended October 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 an $8 million facility with its Bank.
This facility matures on February 28, 1999. 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, 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.
