Item 8.01 Other Events

On June 30, 2013, Lakeland Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) sold its plant in Qingdao, China to Qingdao Yingzhouhai Textile International Trading Co., Ltd. The sale was structured as a sale of the stock of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Qingdao Lakeland Protective Products Co., Ltd (“QD”). Prior to the sale, all non-real estate assets of QD were sold or transferred to the Company or other subsidiaries of the Company.  All operations of QD have been transferred to other subsidiaries of the Company, including all customers, production and cash flows. Gross proceeds to the Company amounted to $1,425,000, less Chinese taxes of $150,000 and expenses of sale of $170,000 resulting in net proceeds of $1,105,000. Of the gross proceeds, $300,000 went directly to the Company and $1,125,000 went to QD.  In addition to the $300,000 proceeds received directly by the US parent Company, the US parent Company received liquidating dividends from QD of $2,946,000 which reflect both the net proceeds received by QD and a liquidating dividend for the remaining assets not sold in this transaction The purchase price was prepaid, allowing for cash distribution to be made to the US parent Company prior to the June 30, 2013 sale date.

The Company will take an accounting charge for United States taxes for a significant amount yet to be determined as a result of this sale, but due to its loss carryforwards will pay no cash currently

As a result of the sale, the company is transferring certain fixed assets and inventory to other Lakeland operating companies. The company is evaluating whether any further write down is considered necessary on these assets. The Company expects an insignificant consolidated gain or loss on the asset sale which will be finalized shortly and reported in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2013
