CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three month period ended February 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ended November 30, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2012. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CCA Industries, Inc. (“CCA”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 25, 1983.
CCA manufactures and distributes health and beauty aid products.
CCA has several wholly-owned subsidiaries. CCA Online Industries, Inc. is active. CCA IND., S.A. DE C.V., a Variable Capital Corporation organized pursuant to the laws of Mexico, CCA Cosmetics, Inc., CCA Labs, Inc., and Berdell, Inc, are wholly owned subsidiaries which are currently inactive.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCA and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Estimates and Assumptions:
The consolidated financial statements include the use of estimates, which management believes are reasonable. The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be most critical to the financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgment and uncertainties. All of these estimates and assumptions reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects on the information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income:
Comprehensive (loss) income includes changes in equity that are excluded from the consolidated statements of income and are recorded directly into a separate section of consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income shown on the consolidated balance sheets consist of unrealized gains and losses on investment holdings, net of deferred tax expense or benefit.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:
Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of certificates of deposits, corporate bonds, and equity securities. The Company has classified its investments as Available-for-Sale securities. Accordingly, such investments are reported at fair market value, with the resultant unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Fair value for Available-for-Sale securities is determined by reference to quoted market prices or other relevant information.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance or uncollectible amounts. The accounts receivable balance is further reduced by allowance for cooperative advertising and reserves for returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of February 28, 2013. The allowances and reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. Trade credit is generally extended on a short term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest, although a finance charge may be applied to receivables that are past due. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or market. Product returns are recorded in inventory when they are received at the lower of their original cost or market, as appropriate. Obsolete inventory is written off and its value is removed from inventory at the time its obsolescence is determined.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company charges to expense repairs and maintenance items, while major improvements and betterments are capitalized.
When the Company sells or otherwise disposes of property and equipment items, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in earnings.
Depreciation and amortization are provided utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets, whichever is shorter:
 
 
 
Machinery and equipment
5-7 Years
Furniture and fixtures
3-10 Years
Tools, dies and masters
3 Years
Transportation equipment
5 Years
Leasehold improvements
Remaining life of the lease
(9.5 years)
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets, which consist of patents and trademarks, are stated at cost. Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Patents are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Trademarks are indefinite lived intangible assets and are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment conditions occur.
Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered financial instruments approximate their respective fair value.
Revenue Recognition: (See also Cooperative Advertising)
The Company recognizes sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales comprise gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts, customer allowances and various sales incentives. Included in sales incentives are coupons that the Company issues that are redeemed by its customers. Redemptions are handled by a coupon national clearing house. The Company also has

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


estimated that there is an approximate six week lag in coupon redemptions, with the estimated cost recorded as an accrued liability. Although no legal right of return exists between the customer and the Company, returns are accepted
if it is in the best interests of the Company's relationship with the customer. The Company, therefore, records a reserve for returns based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the five preceding months, adjusting for returns that can be put back into inventory, and a specific reserve based on customer circumstances. Those returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of February 28, 2013 are offset against the accounts receivable. The reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. Changes in the estimated coupon reserve and sales return reserve are recorded to Sales of Health and Beauty Aid Products, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Cooperative Advertising:
Cooperative advertising is accrued based on a combination of new contracts given to the customers in the current fiscal year, along with what is left open from prior years. Specific new contracts in the current fiscal year are identified as sales incentives (see sales incentives) and those contracts reduce revenues for the current period. The open balances for all years open are reduced throughout the year by either the customer advertising and submitting the proof according to the contract or by customer post audit adjustments that finalize any amount due. Any item open more than four years is closed unless management believes that a deduction may still be taken by the customer. The balance of open cooperative advertising is then allocated between accrued liabilities and the allowance for cooperative advertising based the customer's open accounts receivable balance.
Sales Incentives:
In accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-S99, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company has accounted for certain sales incentives offered to customers by charging them directly to sales as opposed to advertising and promotional expense. These accounting adjustments under ASC Topic 605-10-S99 do not affect net (loss) income.
Shipping Costs:
The Company’s policy for financial reporting is to charge shipping costs as part of selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Shipping costs included for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $761,381 and $728,326, respectively.
Advertising Costs:
The Company’s policy for financial reporting is to charge advertising cost to expense as incurred. Advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were $2,025,103 and $2,083,592, respectively.
Research and Development Costs:
The Company's policy for financial reporting is to charge research and development costs to expense as incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and three months ended February 29, 2012 were $167,155 and $185,267, respectively.
Income Taxes:
Income taxes are accounted for under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which utilizes the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded on the Company’s financial statements and the carrying amounts as reflected on the Company’s income tax return. In addition, the portion of charitable contributions that cannot be deducted in the current period and are carried forward to future periods are also reflected in the deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued using the tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, “Uncertain Tax Positions”. Management believes that there were no unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that would result in uncertainty regarding the deductions taken, as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
Tax Credits:
Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-through method as a reduction of income taxes in the years utilized.
(Loss) Earnings Per Common Share:
Basic (loss) earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of any common stock equivalents using the “treasury stock method”. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.
Stock Options:
ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” requires stock grants to employees to be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company does not have any outstanding stock options.

NOTE 4 - SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES (continued)
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” as of December 1, 2007, which expands disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair market value. ASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques utilized to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability that the reporting entity has ability to access at measurement date.
Level 2 – Quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and where fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 – Unobserved inputs for the asset or liability. Fair value is determined by the reporting entity’s own assumptions utilizing the best information available, and includes situations where there is little market activity for the investment.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Collective Bargaining Agreement
The Company signed a new collective bargaining agreement with Local 108, L.I.U. of N.A., AFL-CIO that became effective January 1, 2012. The new agreement is effective for a three year term expiring December 31, 2014. Other than standard wage, holiday, vacation and sick day provisions, the agreement calls for CCA to contribute to the Recycling and General Industrial Union Local 108 Welfare Fund (“Welfare Fund”) certain benefit costs. The Welfare Fund provides medical, dental and life insurance for the Company’s employees covered under the collective bargaining agreement. This agreement pertains to 30% of the CCA labor force.
Employment Agreement Death Benefit
The Company announced on February 11, 2013 the death of Dunnan D. Edell, the Company's then President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of Mr. Edell's employment agreement, his estate is entitled to a single sum payment equal to his base salary and a single sum payment equal to the value of the highest bonus earned in the one year period preceding the date of death, prorated for the number of days served in that fiscal year. Accordingly, the Company recorded a one-time expense of $359,726 which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended February 28, 2013.

NOTE 10 - 401(K) PLAN
The Company has a 401(K) Profit Sharing Plan for both union and non-union employees. The union plan requires one year of service and the non-union plan requires six months of service. Employees for both plans must be 21 years or older to participate. Employees may make salary reduction contributions up to 25% of compensation not to exceed the federal government limits. The Plan allows for the Company to make discretionary contributions. For all fiscal periods to date, the Company did not make any contributions.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
CCA and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, “Uncertain Tax Positions”. Management believes that there were no unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that would result in uncertainty regarding the deductions taken, as of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
As of February 28, 2013, the Company had unrealized gain on its investments of $134,162. This amount was reduced by a deferred tax expense of $49,511, of which a $20,616 expense was recorded in prior fiscal years. The deferred tax expense for the three months ended February 28, 2013 has been recorded as part of the deferred tax asset, and offset against the unrealized gains on marketable securities reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The charitable contributions portion of the deferred tax asset has $146,736 that has been reclassified as a long-term asset, based on an estimate of the amount that will be realizable in periods greater than twelve months from February 28, 2013.

At February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively, the Company had temporary differences arising from the following:

In April 2013, the Company was notified that KMC Exim Corporation (“KMC”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that the Company had violated a patent held by KMC. The complaint did not specify any specific monetary damages. The Company purchased the product from a supplier, relying on the opinion of their counsel that the product that they were selling to us did not violate the alleged patent claim. Management believes that the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

OVERVIEW
For the three month period ended February 28, 2013, the Company had revenues of $11,799,649 and a net loss of $1,015,390 after a income tax benefit of $657,730. For the same period of 2012, the Company had revenues of $13,688,247 and net income of $87,534 after a provision for income taxes of $66,912. The basic and fully diluted loss per share for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.14 as compared to a basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.01 for same period of 2012. As of February 28, 2013 the Company had $31,258,667 in current assets and $10,069,263 in current liabilities. The Company does not have any loan or line of credit bank debt.
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2013
For the three-month period ended February 28, 2013, the Company had total revenues of $11,799,649 and a net loss of $1,015,390 after a tax benefit of $657,730. For the same three month period in 2012, total revenues were $13,688,247 and net income was $87,534 after a provision for income taxes of $66,912. Basic and fully diluted loss per share was $0.14 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to earnings of $0.01 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-S99, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company has accounted for certain sales incentives offered to customers by charging them directly to sales as opposed to advertising and promotional expenses. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were reduced by $1,527,950 and offset by an equal reduction of trade promotional expenses, which were included in the Company’s advertising expense. In the same period of the prior year, net sales were reduced by $1,355,838 and trade promotion was offset by an equal reduction of that amount. These accounting adjustments under ASC Topic 605-10-S99 do not affect net income.
The Company’s net sales of health and beauty aid products decreased $1,734,119 to $11,796,951 for the three month period ended February 28, 2013 from $13,531,070 for the three month period ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of 12.8%. Sales returns and allowances, not including sales incentives, were 12.2% of gross sales or $1,884,207 for the three month period ended February 28, 2013 as compared to 5.6% or $910,176 for the same period last year. Sales incentives consist of co-operative advertising with the Company’s retail partners and coupons. The amount of co-operative advertising included in sales incentives increased by $172,112 to $1,527,950 in the first quarter 2013 as compared to $1,355,838 in the same period in 2012. The cost of the coupons issued by the Company was $250,714 for the first quarter 2013 as compared to $402,922 for the same period in 2012. The Company uses a national clearing house for the receipt and processing of coupons from our retail partners. The national clearing house renders invoices to the Company on a weekly basis for coupons that they have processed which are recorded as an expense in the period for which the invoice is dated. The Company also records an expense accrual at the end of each period equal to the prior six weeks of invoices rendered based on information from the national clearing house that there is an average lag time of six weeks between the time that the retailer receives the coupon and when the Company receives the invoice. The amount recorded as an expense or an accrual includes the retailer cost of the coupon in addition to any processing

The following were factors that affected net sales for the three months ended February 28, 2013:

Net sales of nail care products decreased $448,458 for the three months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012. Increased distribution of the Company's Gel Perfect nail polish product line was offset by higher product returns related to promotional displays sold in 2012 and planogram resets at our major customers.
Net sales of skin care products decreased $410,769 for the three months ended February 28, 2013, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012. New product launch of "Hand Perfection" was offset by higher returns of seasonal products.
Net sales of the Company’s diet products decreased $922,346 in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in net sales of diet products was due to lower gross sales and higher returns as a result of decreased distribution of certain items and decreased promotional activity, reflective of the continued overall industry category decline. The Company is increasing its marketing efforts with the introduction of new diet products in order to effectuate a positive impact on future sales.
Sales returns and allowances increased to 12.2% of gross sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 5.6% of gross sales for the same period last year. The higher returns in the 2013 period relate primarily to the Gel Perfect nail polish line as mentioned above. The Company, on an ongoing basis, has returns of products that have been phased out and replaced by new items as part of its marketing plan.

The gross margin percentage for the first quarter 2013 decreased to 53.1%, as compared to 55.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease of gross margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 is related to the high volume of product returns mentioned above. Approximately 25% of returns received are placed back into inventory for sale after inspection and refurbishment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $5,779,409 for the three months ended February 28, 2013 as compared to $5,284,653 for the same period in 2012, or an increase of $494,756. The increase was due in part to a one-time death benefit payment of $356,731 per the employment contract with Dunnan D. Edell, the Company’s previous President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of Mr. Edell's employment agreement, his estate is entitled to a single sum payment of equal to his base salary and a single sum payment equal to the value of the highest

bonus earned in the one year period preceding the date of death, prorated for the number of days served in that fiscal year. The balance of the increase in sales and administrative expenses are due to the timing of smaller expenses.
Advertising expense was $2,025,103 for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 as compared to $2,083,592 for the quarter ended February 29, 2012, or a decrease of $58,489. The Company’s advertising expense changes from quarter to quarter based on the timing of the Company’s promotions.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was 39.3% versus 43.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The fiscal 2013 effective tax rate was lower due to a change in the allocation of state income taxes.
FINANCIAL POSITION AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2013
The Company’s financial position as of February 28, 2013 consisted of current assets of $31,258,667 and current liabilities of $10,069,263, or a current ratio of 3.1 to 1. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $6,294,108 as of February 28, 2013, a decrease of $3,534,573 from November 30, 2012. Included in this decrease was net cash used in operating activities of $2,891,035, net cash used in investing activities of $148,551 and net cash used in financing activities of $494,987.

Accounts receivable increased to $9,324,732 as of February 28, 2013 from $8,073,398 as of November 30, 2012. The increase was due to gross sales volume which was $2,759,418 higher in February and January 2013 as compared to gross sales in October and November 2012. There has been no significant change in the accounts receivable aging and days outstanding.
The reserve for returns and allowances is based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the five preceding months, adjusting for returns that can be put back into inventory, and a specific reserve based on customer circumstances. This allowance decreased to $1,686,984 as of February 28, 2013, from $1,798,745 as of November 30, 2012. Of this amount, allowances and reserves in the amount of $586,369, which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices, were included in accrued liabilities as of February 28, 2013 as compared to $665,184 as of November 30, 2012. Gross receivables were further reduced by $1,259,987, which were reclassified from accrued liabilities, as an estimate of the co-operative advertising that will be taken as a credit against payments. In addition, accrued liabilities include $2,982,925, which is an estimate of co-operative advertising expense relating to fiscal 2013 sales which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices rather than against the current accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts decreased to $23,966 as of February 28, 2013 as compared to $26,340 as of November 30, 2012. The Company had no material overdue accounts receivable balances as of February 28, 2013.
Inventory increased to $10,364,698 as of February 28, 2013 from $9,794,448 as of November 30, 2012. The inventory increased in order to support the sales of Gel Perfect as well as the promotional sales to take place in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The inventory obsolescence reserve decreased to $598,526 as of February 28, 2013 from $671,609 as of November 30, 2012 as a result of scrapping obsolete inventory.

The deferred income tax asset increased to $1,824,721 as of February 28, 2013 from $1,242,484 as of November 30, 2012. The increase was due primarily to the deferred tax benefit of $684,015 on the loss carry forward as of February 28, 2013.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $197,591 to $10,065,359 as of February 28, 2013 from $10,262,950 as of November 30, 2012. The decrease was due to the normal course of business. There has been no significant change in the aging of the accounts payable.
Shareholders’ equity decreased to $23,281,990 as of February 28, 2013 from $24,247,976 as of November 30, 2012. The decrease was due to the net loss of $1,015,390 and unrealized gains, net of deferred income tax, on marketable

securities of $49,404 during the three months ended February 28, 2013. Unrealized holding gains or losses are recorded as other comprehensive income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet short-term and long-term business needs. We assess our liquidity in terms of our total cash flow and the amounts of cash, short-term and long-term marketable securities on hand. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:
Cash flow generated or used by operating activities;
Dividend payments;
Capital expenditures;
Acquisitions.
Our primary capital needs are seasonal working capital requirements and dividend payments. In addition, funds are kept on hand for any potential acquisitions, which the Company continues to explore. As of February 28, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,294,108 and short term marketable securities of $2,115,099. Please refer to Note No. 4 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s investments. The Company’s long term liabilities, as of February 28, 2013, consist of a deferred tax liability of $46,400. The Company does not have any bank debt or a bank line of credit. Due to the amount of cash and marketable securities on-hand, the Company does not believe that it needs the availability of a bank line of credit at this time. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient liquidity to finance anticipated working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements include the use of estimates, which management believes are reasonable. The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those management considers to be most critical to the financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgment and uncertainties. All of these estimates and assumptions reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects on the information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. An accounting estimate is deemed to be critical if it is reasonably possible that it subsequent correction could have a material effect on future operating results or financial condition. The following are estimates that management has deemed to be critical:
1.Reserve for Returns and Allowances — The allowances and reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. The estimated reserve is based in part on historical returns as a percentage of gross sales. The current estimated return rate is 6.9% of gross sales. Management estimates that 25% of returns received are placed back into inventory, and the estimate for returns is adjusted to reflect the value of the returns placed into inventory. Any changes in this accrued liability are recorded as a debit or credit to the reserve for returns and allowances account.
2.Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate of the loss that could be incurred if our customers do not make required payments. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated by management for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Estimates are made based on specific disputes and additional reserves for bad debt based on the accounts receivable aging ranging from 0.35% for invoices currently due to 2.0% for invoices more than ninety-one days overdue. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables.
3.Inventory Obsolescence Reserve — Management reviews the inventory records on a monthly basis. Management deems to be obsolete finished good items that are no longer being sold, and have no possibility of sale within the ensuing twelve months. Components and raw materials are deemed to be obsolete if

22

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

management has no planned usage of those items within the ensuing twelve months. In addition, management conducts periodic testing of inventory to make sure that the value reflects the lower of cost or market. If the value is below market, a provision is made within the inventory obsolescence reserve. This reserve is adjusted monthly, with changes recorded as part of cost of sales in the results of operations.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s financial statements record the Company’s investments under the “mark to market” method (i.e., at date-of-statement market value). The investments are, categorically listed, in “Common Stock”, “Preferred Stock”, “Limited Partnership”, “Corporate Obligations” and "Fixed Income". All of the Company’s portfolio of investments of $2,115,099 (approximate, as at February 28, 2013) is invested in the “Corporate Obligations”, “Common Stock”, “Limited Partnership”, and "Fixed Income" categories. The Company invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rates, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term. The Company does not take positions or engage in transactions in risk-sensitive market instruments in any substantial degree, nor as defined by SEC rules and instructions, however, due to current securities market conditions, the Company cannot ascertain the risk of any future change in the market value of its’ investments.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of February 28, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended February 28, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control overall financial reporting.

PART ll OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In April 2013, the Company was notified that KMC Exim Corporation (“KMC”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that the Company had violated a patent held by KMC. The complaint did not specify any specific monetary damages. The Company purchased the product from a supplier, relying on the opinion of their counsel that the product that they were selling to us did not violate the alleged patent claim. Management believes that the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.
