Item 2.06Material Impairments

 

On March 11, 2013 Lakeland Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) reports several material developments:

 

·Lower than expected sales in Brazil for the quarter ended January 31, 2013 resulting in anticipated operating loss in Brazil
·$11.5 million goodwill impairment charge in Brazil; such charge will have no effect on operations or cash
·Potential default on bank line of credit with TD Bank, N.A.

 

In view of the recent operating losses incurred by Lakeland Brazil, management determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill related to our Brazil subsidiary exceeded its fair value, which was estimated based on the present value of expected future cash inflows. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an impairment charge at year end against the Goodwill and Intangible assets relating to its Lakeland Brazil subsidiary of $9.8 million.

 

The Company provided for a full valuation allowance of $1.5 million against its net deferred tax assets at January 31, 2013 relating to Brazilian income taxes only. The combined charge will be $11.5 million and the net effect on stockholder equity will be $9.7 million, net of the $1.8 million reclassification from Other Comprehensive Income to reflect the cumulative adjustments previously made resulting from exchange rate differences.

 

With the exception of Brazil, company-wide revenue continues to improve, with very strong revenue growth in most overseas markets, and a continued rebound in the United States from the loss of DuPont products in FY2012 that has seen strong growth achieved year over year in sales of Lakeland branded products.

 

A copy of the press release issued by the Company in connection with the foregoing is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
