PART II.

Item 9A:  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
          -----------------------

      Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

      We carried out an evaluation required by the 1934 Act, under the
supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the 1934 Act, as of January 31, 2005. Based on this evaluation, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as
of January 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in
alerting them timely to material information required to be included in our
periodic SEC reports filed with the Security and Exchange Commission.

      Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

      Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) of the 1934 Act. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2005 based on
criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a
result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of January 31, 2005,
our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. There
were several areas where we strengthened our controls as a result of this
evaluation, including some upgrades made in February 2005.

      Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an
attestation report on management's assessment of the company's internal control
over financial reporting. That report appears below in this Item 9A.

      Except as described above in this Item 9A, there was no change in our
internal control over financial reporting during our fourth quarter of fiscal
year ended January 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

      Limitations on Controls

      Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or
our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors
and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is
based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not
occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
Company have been detected.

      Through the year ended January 31, 2005 additional expense has been
incurred relating to documenting and testing the systems of internal controls.
The company hired an internal auditor in July 2004 and has contracted with an
independent consultant for services related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance
with Section 404, in February 2004. The total amount expensed so far is
approximately $292,000 and is expected to increase in the first quarter of 2006
due to the hiring of additional accounting personnel and increased professional
fees.

Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that the company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31,
2005.

The company's independent registered public accounting firm has issued an
attestation report on management's assessment of the company's internal control
over financial reporting. That report appears below in this Item 9A.

             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
                  On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lakeland Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Ronkonkoma, New York

We  have  audited   management's   assessment,   included  in  the  accompanying
"Management's  Report  on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting",  that
Lakeland  Industries,  Inc. and Subsidiaries  ("Lakeland")  maintained effective
internal  control over  financial  reporting  as of January 31,  2005,  based on
criteria  established in Internal  Control--Integrated  Framework  issued by the
Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of the Treadway  Commission  (the COSO
criteria).  Lakeland's  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  for  its  assessment  of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial  reporting.  Our responsibility
is to  express  an  opinion  on  management's  assessment  and an opinion on the
effectiveness of the company's  internal control over financial  reporting based
on our audit.

We conducted  our audit in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about whether  effective
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in all  material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting,  evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating
the design and operating  effectiveness of internal control, and performing such
other  procedures as we considered  necessary in the  circumstances.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's  internal control over financial  reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable  assurance  regarding the reliability of financial  reporting
and the preparation of financial  statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial  reporting  includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the  maintenance  of records that, in reasonable  detail,  accurately and fairly
reflect the  transactions  and  dispositions  of the assets of the company;  (2)
provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles,  and that receipts and  expenditures  of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use, or  disposition  of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent  limitations,  internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions,  or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion,  management's  assessment  that  Lakeland  maintained  effective
internal  control over  financial  reporting  as of January 31, 2005,  is fairly
stated,  in all  material  respects,  based  on the COSO  criteria.  Also in our
opinion,  Lakeland  maintained,  in all material  respects,  effective  internal
control  over  financial  reporting  as of January 31,  2005,  based on the COSO
criteria.

We have also  audited,  in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (United States),  the consolidated  balance sheet of
Lakeland  as of January  31, 2005 and the  related  consolidated  statements  of
income,  stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the year then ended, and our
report  dated  April  7,  2005  expressed  an   unqualified   opinion  on  those
consolidated statements.
