LAKELAND INDUSTRIES INC New Standards Disclosure
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards and Disclosure Rules
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This guidance requires a public entity to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and this guidance should be applied prospectively but there is the option to apply it retrospectively. The Company has prospectively adopted the provisions of this guidance in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. As revised by ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. With the exception of expanding disclosures to include more granular income statement expense categories, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Credit Losses
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 (“ASU 2025-05”), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This guidance provides a practical expedient that entities may elect when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets, allowing entities to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 (“ASU 2025-06”), “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” This ASU removes references to prescriptive and sequential software development project stages and provides updated guidance intended to simplify the capitalization and expense evaluation for internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 17, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. This ASU may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
