Introduction

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q or in any other presentation, statements which are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They also include statements containing a projection of sales, earnings or losses, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure or other financial terms.

The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are based upon our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future operations and economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition we express or imply in any forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from expectations are:

We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Form 10-Q might not occur. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information required herein. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. While we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In this Form 10-Q, (a) “FY” means fiscal year; thus for example, FY21 refers to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021, (b) “Q” refers to quarter; thus, for example, Q2 FY21 refers to the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021, (c) “Balance Sheet” refers to the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and (d) “Statement of Operations” refers to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that events could occur during the upcoming year that could change such estimates.

Accounts Receivable, Net. Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company recognizes losses when information available indicates that it is probable that a receivable has been impaired based on criteria noted below at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: Customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customers, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other less creditworthy accounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories include freight-in, materials, labor and overhead costs and are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realized value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company measures any potential impairment on a projected undiscounted cash flow method. Estimating future cash flows requires the Company’s management to make projections that can differ materially from actual results. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset.

Revenue Recognition

Substantially all the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales, which consist of sales of the Company’s personal protective wear products to distributors. The Company considers purchase orders to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year, and virtually all of the Company’s contracts are short-term. The Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations and when the customer has obtained the benefit of the goods, which can occur upon shipment or delivery depending on the nature of our agreements. Generally, payment is due from customers within 30 to 90 days of the invoice date, and the contracts do not have significant financing components. The Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a separate performance obligation and these costs are included in operating expenses Shipping and handling costs for the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, were approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended July 31,2020 and 2019 were approximately $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.

The transaction price includes estimates of variable consideration, related to rebates, and discounts (primarily driven by volumes) that are reductions in revenue. All estimates are based on the Company's historical experience, anticipated performance, and the Company's best judgment at the time the estimate is made. Estimates for variable consideration are reassessed each reporting period and are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur upon resolution of uncertainty associated with the variable consideration. All the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and the transaction price is stated in the contract, usually as quantity times price per unit.

The Company has seven revenue generating reportable geographic segments under ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting” and derives its sales primarily from its limited use/disposable protective clothing and secondarily from its sales of reflective clothing, high-end chemical protective suits, firefighting and heat protective apparel, reusable woven garments and gloves and arm guards.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates as part of preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. This involves estimating the actual current tax in addition to assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences, together with net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits, are recorded as deferred tax assets or liabilities on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. A judgment must then be made of the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance may be required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company determines that it may not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax asset in the future, or that new estimates indicate that a previously recorded valuation allowance is no longer required, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is charged or credited to income in the period of such determination.

The Company recognizes tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” minimum recognition threshold. If necessary, the Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and would include accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at July 31, 2020 or January 31, 2020.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records the cost of stock-based compensation plans based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. For awards that contain a vesting provision, the cost is recognized over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award) which approximates the performance period. For awards based on services already rendered, the cost is recognized immediately.

Foreign Operations and Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains manufacturing operations in Mexico, India, Argentina, Vietnam and the People’s Republic of China and can access independent contractors in China, Vietnam, Argentina and Mexico. It also maintains sales and distribution entities located in India, Canada, the U.K., Chile, China, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uruguay and Mexico. The Company is vulnerable to currency risks in these countries. The functional currency for the United Kingdom subsidiary is the Euro; the trading company in China, the RMB; the Russian operation, the Russian Ruble, and the Kazakhstan operation the Kazakhstan Tenge. All other operations have the US dollar as its functional currency.

Pursuant to US GAAP, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations with functional currencies, other than the US dollar, are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the periods. Translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction (loss) gain included in net income (loss) for the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, were approximately $(0.3) million and $0.1 million and for the six months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $(0.4) million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

US GAAP defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures utilizing a fair value hierarchy which is categorized into three levels based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The following is a brief description of those three levels:

The financial instruments of the Company classified as current assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, borrowings under revolving credit facility, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company believes that the fair values of its long-term debt approximates its carrying value based on the effective interest rate compared to the current market rate available to the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which includes provisions, intended to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted this guidance using prospective transition method, which had no material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU removes certain exceptions for performing intra-period allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. It also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by requiring recognition of franchise tax partially based on income as an income-based tax, requiring reflection of enacted chages in tax laws in the interim period and making improvements for income taxes related to employee stock owernship plans. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The ASU provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting in response to the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This amendment provides for optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts and hedging relationships that are affected by LIBOR and other reference rates. The ASU generally allows for a hedge accounting to continue if the hedge was highly effective or met other standards prior to reference rate reform. Entities are permitted to apply the amendments to all contracts, cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist as of March 12, 2020. The relief provided in this ASU is only available for a limited time, generally through December 31, 2022. Our debt agreement that utilizes LIBOR has not yet discontinued the use of LIBOR and, therefore, this ASU is not yet effective for us. To the extent our debt arrangements change to another accepted rate, we will utilize the relief available in this ASU.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following (in $000s):

5. Leases

We lease real property, equipment and certain automobiles. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option would result in an economic penalty. All of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases.

Most of our real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that generally can extend the lease term for an additional four to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s discretion. The Company evaluates renewal options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis, and includes renewal options that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its expected lease terms when classifying leases and measuring lease liabilities. Lease agreements generally do not require material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Leases recorded on the consolidated balance sheet consist of the following (in $000’s):

Lease cost

The components of lease expense are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows (in 000’s):

Weighted-average lease terms and discount rates are as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2020 were as follows (in 000’s):

6. Other Current Assets

As of July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the Company’s other current assets were comprised of the following:

The UK factoring account represents trade receivables collected on our behalf that have not yet been conveyed to the Company by HSBC. The increase is due to the increase in sales in the EEC.

7. Other Accrued Expenses

As of July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the Company’s other accrued expenses were comprised of the following:

The increase in income tax accrual is due to the increase in profitability and the resulting tax obligations.

8. 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 $5.0 million (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.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (“LIBOR”), plus 125 basis points. LIBOR is subject to a floor of 100 basis points. All outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest under the revolving credit facility is due and payable on the maturity date. On a one-time basis, and subject to there not existing an event of default, the Company may elect convert up to $5 million of the then outstanding principal of the revolving credit facility to a term loan facility with an assumed amortization of 15 years and the same interest rate and maturity date as the revolving credit facility. The Loan Agreement provides for an annual unused line of credit commitment fee, payable quarterly, of 0.25%, based on the difference between the total credit line commitment and the average daily amount of credit outstanding under the facility during the preceding quarter.

The Company made certain representations and warranties to the Lender in the Loan Agreement that are customary for credit arrangements of this type. The Company also agreed to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a minimum “basic fixed charge coverage ratio” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of at least 1.15 to 1.00 and a “funded debt to EBITDA ratio” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00, in each case for the trailing 12-month period ending with the applicable quarterly reporting period. The Company also agreed to certain negative covenants that are customary for credit arrangements of this type, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to enter into mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions, conduct its business, grant liens, make certain investments, make substantial change in the present executive or management personnel and incur additional indebtedness, which negative covenants are subject to certain exceptions.

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among other things (subject to any applicable cure periods and materiality qualifier), non-payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults under related agreements with the Lender, cross-defaults under agreements for other indebtedness, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgements and material adverse change. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender may terminate all loan commitments, declare all outstanding indebtedness owing under the Loan Agreement and related documents to be immediately due and payable, and may exercise its other rights and remedies provided for under the Loan Agreement.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company entered into with the Lender (i) a security agreement dated June 25, 2020, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Lender a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the personal property and the intangibles of the Company, and (ii) a pledge agreement, dated June 25, 2020, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Lender a first priority perfected security interest in the stock of its subsidiaries (limited to 65% of those subsidiaries that are considered “controlled foreign subsidiaries” as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations). The Company’s obligations to the Lender under the Loan Agreement are also secured by a negative pledge evidenced by a Non-encumbrance Agreement covering the real property owned by the Company in Decatur, Alabama

As of July 31, 2020, 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 December 31, 2014, the Company and Lakeland Industries Europe, Ltd, (“Lakeland UK”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, amended the terms of its existing line of credit facility with HSBC Bank to provide for (i) a one-year extension of the maturity date of the existing financing facility to December 19, 2016, (ii) an increase in the facility limit from £1,250,000 (approximately USD $1.9 million, based on exchange rates at time of closing) to £1,500,000 (approximately USD $2.3 million, based on exchange rates at time of closing), and (iii) a decrease in the annual interest rate margin from 3.46% to 3.0%. In addition, pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 5, 2014, the Company agreed that £400,000 (approximately USD $0.6 million, based on exchange rates at time of closing) of the note payable by the UK subsidiary to the Company shall be subordinated in priority of payment to the subsidiary’s obligations to HSBC under the financing facility. On December 31, 2016, Lakeland UK entered into an extension of the maturity date of its existing facility with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd. to December 19, 2017. Other than the extension of the maturity date and a small reduction of the service charge from 0.9% to 0.85%, all other terms of the facility remained the same. On December 4, 2017 the facility was extended to March 31, 2018 for the next review period. On March 9, 2019 the facility was extended to March 31, 2020 and on March 6, 2020 further extended to March 31, 2021 with no additional changes to the terms. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at either July 31, 2020 or January 31, 2020. The amounts due from HSBC of USD $1.3 million and USD $0.1 million as of July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, respectively, is included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Borrowing in Argentina

On March 20, 2020 Lakeland Argentina and AP Partners entered into an agreement for Lakeland Argentina to obtain a loan in the amount of ARS $10 million (approximately USD $158k, based on exchange rates at time of closing); such loan is for a term of one year at an interest rate of 30% per annum. There was no outstanding balance at July 31, 2020.

9. 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 principally within the United States. 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; Raymond James in Argentina; TD Canada Trust; Banco Itaú S.A., Banco Credito Inversione 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 is approximately $11.3 million total included in the US bank accounts and approximately $23.6 million total in foreign bank accounts as of July 31, 2020, of which $34.3 million was uninsured.

Major Customer

No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three month and six month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019.

Major Supplier

No supplier accounted for more than 10% of purchases during the three month and six month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

The 2017 Stock Plan

On June 21, 2017, the stockholders of the Company approved the Lakeland Industries, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. 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”).

The Committee has the authority to determine the type of award, as well as the amount, terms and conditions of each award, under the 2017 Plan, subject to the limitations and other provisions of the 2017 Plan. 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. The following tables summarize the unvested shares granted on June 7, 2018, December 4, 2019 and April 9, 2020 which have been made under the 2017 Plan.

The Company recognized total stock-based compensation costs, which are reflected in operating expenses:

Restricted Stock Units

Under the 2017 Plan, as described above, the Company awarded performance-based and service based restricted stock units to eligible employees and directors. The following table summarizes the activity under the 2017 Plan for the quarter ended July 31, 2020. This table reflects the amount of awards granted at the maximum number of shares that would be issued 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, if any, to be earned by the award recipient is determined over the three year performance measurement periods based on measures that include revenue growth, EBITDA margin, and free cash flow, retention and Board discretion for the December 4, 2019 and April 9, 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 Board and may be adjusted for items determined to be unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, at the discretion of the Board.

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. The Company is recognizing expense related to the December 2019 and April 2020 grants under the 2017 Plan at Target, and these expenses were approximately $0.2 million for the three months and $0.3 for the six months ended July 31, 2020. As of July 31, 2020, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense totaled $1.5 million pursuant to the 2017 Plan based on outstanding awards under the Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over of the next 2.5 years.

The following table reflects the amount of awards granted at the maximum number of shares that would be issued if the Company were to achieve the maximum performance level in relation to the June 2018 grants.
