The principal market for the Company’s products is in the United States. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three and nine month periods ending October 31, 2015 and 2014. In April 2015, the Company decided to exit operations in Brazil and on July 31, 2015, the Company completed a conditional closing of the transfer of stock of its wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary, Lake Brasil Industria E Comercio de Roupas E Equipamentos de Protecao Individual Ltda (referred to herein as “Lakeland Brazil” or “Qualytextil”), to Zap Comércio de Brindes Corporativos Ltda (“Transferee”), a company owned by an existing Lakeland Brazil manager. This sale is pursuant to a Shares Transfer Agreement (the “Shares Transfer Agreement”) entered into on June 19, 2015. The transactions contemplated by the Shares Transfer Agreement, which shall be deemed to have been consummated as of July 31, 2015, were subject to acceptance of the shares transfer on the Commercial Registry by the Brazilian authorities, which was received in October 2015.
