Long-Term Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America (“Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides the Company with a secured (i) $ 12.5 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $ 5.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Company may request from time to time an increase in the revolving credit loan commitment of up to $5.0million (for a total commitment of up to $17.5 million). Borrowing pursuant to the revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base amount calculated as (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined, plus (b) 50% of the value of acceptable inventory, as defined, minus (c) certain reserves as the Lender may establish for the amount of estimated exposure, as reasonably determined by the Lender from time to time, under certain interest rate swap contracts. The borrowing base limitation only applies during periods when the Company’s quarterly funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined, exceeds 2.00 to 1.00. The credit facility will mature on June 25, 2025 .
As of April 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on the letter of credit sub-facility and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
Prior to the execution of the Loan Agreement with Bank of America, the Company repaid a $ 1.2 million term loan that was outstanding under a similar agreement with SunTrust Bank. The Company has terminated the borrowing agreement with SunTrust Bank.
Borrowings in UK
On March XX, 2021, Lakeland UK entered into an extension of the maturity date of its existing facility with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd. to March 31, 2022 with no additional changes to the terms. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s existing credit facility with HSBC Bank at April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021. Amounts due, under the facility with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd., of $ 1.6 million and $ 2.0 million as of April 30, 2021, and January 31, 2021, respectively, are included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
5.
Concentration of Risk
Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company does not require customers to post collateral.
The Company’s foreign financial depositories are Bank of America; China Construction Bank; Bank of China; China Industrial and Commercial Bank; HSBC (UK); Rural Credit Cooperative of Shandong; Postal Savings Bank of China; Punjab National Bank; HSBC in India, Argentina and UK; Banco Nacion in Argentina; TD Canada Trust; Banco Itaú S.A., Santander in Chile; Banco Mercantil Del Norte SA in Mexico; ZAO KB Citibank Moscow in Russia, and JSC Bank Centercredit in Kazakhstan. The Company monitors its financial depositories by their credit rating which varies by country. In addition, cash balances in banks in the United States of America are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. There was approximately $ 19.4 million total included in the U.S. bank accounts and approximately $ 40.9 million total in foreign bank accounts as of April 30, 2021, of which $ 59.6 million was uninsured.
Major Customer
No customer accounted for more than 10 % of net sales during the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.
Major Supplier
No vendor accounted for more than 10 % of purchases during the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.

Stockholders’ Equity
On June 21, 2017, the stockholders of the Company approved the Lakeland Industries, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The executive officers and all other employees and directors of the Company, including its subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), except that with respect to all non-employee directors, the Committee shall be deemed to include the full Board. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, or stock appreciation rights (“SARS”).
An aggregate of 360,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan for stock splits, dividends, distributions, recapitalizations and other similar transactions or events. If any shares subject to an award are forfeited, expire, lapse or otherwise terminate without issuance of such shares, such shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, lapse or termination, again be available for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

Under the 2017 Plan, as described above, the Company awarded performance-based shares and service-based shares of restricted stock to eligible employees and directors. The following table summarizes the activity under the 2017 Plan for the three months ended April 30, 2021. This table reflects the amount of awards granted at the number of shares that would be vested if the Company were to achieve the maximum performance level under the December 2019 and April 2020 grants.

The actual number of shares of common stock of the Company, if any, to be earned by the award recipients is determined over a three year performance measurement period based on measures that include Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) margin, revenue growth, and free cash flow for the December 2019 and April 2020 grants. The performance targets have been set for each of the Minimum, Target, and Maximum levels. The actual performance amount achieved is determined by the Committee and may be adjusted for items determined to be unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, at the discretion of the Committee.
The compensation cost is based on the fair value at the grant date, is recognized over the requisite performance/service period using the straight-line method, and is periodically adjusted for the probable number of shares to be awarded. As of April 30, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense totaled $ 1.1 million pursuant to the 2017 Plan based on outstanding awards under the Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over approximately two years.
Stock Repurchase Program
On July 19, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $ 2,500,000 of its outstanding common stock. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares. The Company has repurchased 152,801 shares of stock under this program as of April 30, 2021 for $ 1,671,188 , inclusive, of commissions. On February 17, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $ 5,000,000 of its outstanding common stock. This new program replaced the prior program which had approximately $ 800,000 remaining for repurchases.
7.
Income Taxes
Deferred Taxes and Valuation Allowance
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. The valuation allowance was $ 2.5 million and $ 2.7 million at April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, respectively.
The state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards as of April 30, 2021 were approximately $ 0.8 million after tax effects. The state NOLs with carry forward limitations will begin to expire after January 31, 2025 and will continue to expire at various periods up until January 31, 2039 when they will be fully expired. The states have a larger spread because some only carryforward for 10 years and some allow 20 years . The Georgia NOLs generated after January 31, 2018 can be carried forward indefinitely.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expenses consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. Items impacting the effective rate are state taxes, an adjustment for foreign tax rates lower than the US statutory tax rate, Global Intangible Low-taxed Income (“GILTI”), and an adjustment to reflect the recapture of U.S. NOLs as a result of applying the GILTI high tax exclusion in tax years FY19 and FY20.

Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been or is probable of being incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.
The Company’s Exit from Brazil
On March 9, 2015, Lakeland Brazil, S.A. changed its legal form to a Limitada and changed its name to Lake Brasil Industria E Comercio de Roupas E Equipamentos de Protecao Individual LTDA (“Lakeland Brazil”).
Transfer of Shares Agreement
On July 31, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Lakeland and Lakeland Brazil, completed a conditional closing of a Shares Transfer Agreement (the “Shares Transfer Agreement”) with Zap Comércio de Brindes Corporativos Ltda (“Transferee”), a company owned by an existing Lakeland Brazil manager, entered into on June 19, 2015. Pursuant to the Shares Transfer Agreement, the Transferee has acquired all of the shares of Lakeland Brazil owned by the Company. Pursuant to the Shares Transfer Agreement, Transferee paid R$1.00 to the Company and assumed all liabilities and obligations of Lakeland Brazil, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date. In order to help enable Lakeland Brazil to have sufficient funds to continue to operate for a period of at least two years following the Closing Date, the Company provided funding to Lakeland Brazil in the aggregate amount of USD $ 1,130,000 in cash, in the form of a capital raise, on or prior to the Closing Date, and agreed to provide an additional R$582,000 (approximately USD $ 188,000 ) (the “Additional Amount”), in the form of a capital raise, to be utilized by Lakeland Brazil to pay off certain specified liabilities and other potential contingent liabilities. Pursuant to the Shares Transfer Agreement, the Company paid R$992,000 (approximately USD $ 320,000 ) in cash, on July 1, 2015 and issued a non-interest bearing promissory note for the payment to be due for the Additional Amount (R$582,000) (approximately USD $ 188,000 ) on the Closing Date which was paid to Lakeland Brazil in two (2) installments of (i) R$288,300 (approximately USD $82,000) which was paid on August 1, 2015, and (ii) R$294,500 (approximately USD $84,000) on September 1, 2015 . The closing of this agreement was subject to Brazilian government approval of the shares transfer, which was received in October 2015 (The “Final Closing Date”).

Table of Contents
Although the Company formally completed the terms of the “Shares Transfer Agreement”, pursuant to which our entire equity interest in Lakeland Brazil was transferred, during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, we may continue to be exposed to certain liabilities arising in connection with the operations of Lakeland Brazil, which was shut down in late March 2019. The Company understands that under the laws of Brazil, a parent company may be held liable for the liabilities of a former Brazilian subsidiary in the event of fraud, misconduct, or under various theories. In this respect, as regards labor claims, a parent company could conceivably be held liable for the liabilities of a former Brazilian subsidiary. Although the Company would have the right of adversary system, full defense and due process, in case of a potential litigation, there can be no assurance as to the findings of the courts in Brazil.
VAT Tax Issues in Brazil
Value Added Tax (“VAT”) in Brazil is charged at the state level. We commenced operations in Brazil in May 2008 through the acquisition of Lakeland Brazil. Having successfully settled that largest of the VAT claims against Lakeland Brazil, three claims remain open. Our attorney informs us the three claims totaling R$1.3 million (USD $ 0.5 million) excluding interest, penalties and fees of R$2.7 million (USD $ 0.9 million) were likely to be successfully defended based on state auditor misunderstanding. Furthermore, with regards to foreign tax claims, our US attorney informs us that the US courts will not hear foreign tax claims and therefore will not enforce them.
Labor Claims in Brazil
As disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC, we agreed to make certain payments in connection with ongoing labor litigation involving our former Brazilian subsidiary. While the vast majority of these labor suits have been resolved, two significant claims remain; one labor claim and one civil claim filed by separate former officers of our former Brazilian subsidiary. While Lakeland was initially named as a co-defendant in the labor suit, Lakeland was dismissed from the case by the labor judge. Lakeland is a named co-defendant in the civil matter.
In the labor case filed in 2014, the former Brazilian manager was initially awarded USD $ 100,000 and appealed the award amount. Having recently completed that appeals process, the case has been returned to the initial hearing phase for witness testimony and collection of evidence before the same judge that previously dismissed Lakeland. Currently, Lakeland is not a co-defendant in this case, but that could change should the judge change his prior ruling.
In the civil matter filed five years ago in 2016, a former Lakeland Brazil manager is seeking approximately USD $ 700,000 he alleges is due to him against an unpaid promissory note. Lakeland has not been served with process and no decision on the merits has been issued in this case yet.
These two cases are the only two cases filed within the last 5 years against the parent company Lakeland Industries, Inc. and represent the majority of the remaining exposure for Lakeland.
Lakeland Brazil may face new labor lawsuits in the short term as a result of the shutdown of its operations in March 2019. The Company has no obligation under the Shares Transfer Agreement to make any additional payments in connection with these potential new labor lawsuits. The Company also understands that under the labor laws of Brazil, a parent company may be held liable for the labor liabilities of a former Brazilian subsidiary in the case of fraud, misconduct, or under various theories.
Although the Company would have the right of adversary system, full defense and due process in case of a potential litigation, there can be no assurance as to the findings of the courts of Brazil.
There are additional cases in Labor and Civil courts against Lakeland Brazil in which Lakeland is not a party, and other outstanding monetary allegations of Lakeland Brazil.

General litigation contingencies
The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings arising during the normal course of business which, in the opinion of the management of the Company, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. As of April 30, 2021, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there were no outstanding claims or litigation, except for the labor contingencies in Brazil described above.

Segment Reporting
We manage our operations by evaluating each of our geographic locations. Our US operations include a facility in Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and the light manufacturing of our chemical, wovens, reflective, and fire products). The Company also maintains one manufacturing company in China (primarily disposable and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Mexico (primarily disposable, reflective, fire and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Vietnam (primarily disposable production) and a small manufacturing facility in India. Our China facilities produce the majority of the Company’s products and China generates a significant portion of the Company’s international revenues. We evaluate the performance of these entities based on operating profit, which is defined as gross profit less operating expenses. We have sales forces in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Latin America, India, Russia, Kazakhstan, Australia and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the United States, Mexico, India, Vietnam or China.
