(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles 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 generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operat
ing results for the six month period ended May 31, 1998 are not necessar
ily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
November 30, 1998. 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, 1997.
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.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCA and the
following subsidiaries:
Subsidiary Name Ownership %
CCA Cosmetics, Inc. 100% Currently Inactive
CCA Labs, Inc. 100% Currently Inactive
Berdell, Inc. 100% Currently Inactive
Fragrance Corporation
of America, Ltd. 80% Acquired March 19, 1998
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements include the use of estimates, which
management believes are reasonable.
Use of Estimates:
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of 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. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual
results may differ from estimated amounts.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:
Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of corporate and
government 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.
Statements of Cash Flows Disclosure:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than
three months to be cash equivalents.
During fiscal 1998, two officers/shareholders exercised in the aggregate
70,000 options in exchange for previously issued common stock. The
common shares were put into treasury and were subsequently cancelled.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) 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 on the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets:
Machinery and equipment 7-10 Years
Furniture and fixtures 5-7 Years
Tools, dies and masters 2-7 Years
Transportation equipment 7 Years
Leasehold improvements 7-10 Years or life
of lease, whichever is
shorter
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Patents and trademarks are amortized
on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Goodwill is amortized
over 60 months.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered financial
instruments approximate their respective fair value.
Income Taxes:
Income tax expense includes federal and state taxes currently payable and
deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for
financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1998 presentation.
Tax Credits:
Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-through method
as a reduction of income taxes in the years utilized.
Income Per Common Share:
Income per common share has been computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods based on
the treasury stock method using average market price.
Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they result in
dilution of less than 3%.

NOTE 7 - DEFERRED ADVERTISING
In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company
expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising
programs. Consequently a deferral of $889,090 is accordingly reflected in
the balance sheet for the interim period. This deferral is the result of the
Company's $5,000,000 media budget for the year which contemplates
lower spending in the 4th quarter than in the other three quarters; as
well as the Company's Co-op advertising commitments which also anticipates
a lower expenditure in the 4th quarter.
The table below sets forth the calculation:
1998 1997
(In Millions) (In Millions)
Media advertising budget for the fiscal year $5.00 $5.20

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the six month period ended May 31, 1998, the Company had net sales of
$20,122,701 and net income of $1,180,799 after a provision for income taxes of
$745,992 (net of consolidated subsidiary's deficiency of $14,283), as compared
to net sales of $19,169,701 and net income of $1,016,713 after a provision
for income taxes of $712,795 for the six month period ended May 31, 1997.
Gross margins of 62% for the six months were down from the 63% of the prior
year. Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures
decreased during the six month period from $4,511,451 to $4,108,340.
Advertising expenditures were 20% of sales for the six months ended May 31,
1998 as compared with 23.5% for the period ended May 31, 1997. As part of the
registrant's business it is necessary to enter into co-operative advertising
agreements and other promotional activities with its accounts, especially upon
the introduction of a new product. Both co-op advertising and promotions have
a material effect on the Company's operations. If the advertising and
promotions are successful, revenues will be increased accordingly. Should
the co-op and promotions not be successful, it will have a negative impact on
the Company's promotional cost per sale, and have a negative effect on income.
The Company attempts to anticipate its advertising and promotional commitments
as a percent of gross sales in order to attempt to control its effect on its
net income. In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company
expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising programs.
Consequently a deferral of $889,000 is accordingly reflected in the balance
sheet for the interim period, as compared to $697,000 at May 31, 1997. This
deferral is the result of the Company's $5 million media budget for the year
which contemplates lower spending in the 4th quarter than in the other three
quarters; as well as the Company's co-op advertising commitments which also
anticipates lower expenditures in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Specifically, the
Company spent approximately $3.03 million in the first six months on media
advertising and, therefore, expensed $2.5 million and deferred $.53 million as
of May 31, 1998. Similarly, as of May 31, 1998 the Company's co-op advertising
commitments for the year ended November 30, 1997 totaled approximately $3
million of which approximately $1.86 million was spent in the first six months
resulting in an expense of $1.5 million and a deferral of approximately $.36
million as of May 31, 1998.
Comparatively as of May 31, 1997, the Company had anticipated media
advertising expense in fiscal year 1997 of $5.2 million and spent approximately
$3.03 million in the first six months resulting in a deferral of approximately
$.43 million ($3.03MM-$2.6MM). The anticipated Co-op commitments as of May 31,
1997 were $3 million for the year of which $1.77 million were spent for the
six months resulting in a $.27 million deferral ($1.77MM-$1.5MM).
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased compared to
the prior year. The increase to 30.5% from 29.5% was due mostly to salary
increases and the "SG&A" expense incurred by the Company's newly formed
subsidiary relative to its initial two months' disproportionate sales volume.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the three month period ended May 31, 1998, net sales were $10,770,270 as
compared to $10,552,412 for May 31, 1997. Income for the quarter before taxes
increased to $804,844 from $706,712. Gross margins of 62% for the three
months ended May 31, 1998 were down from 63% in 1997. Advertising,
cooperative and promotional allowance expense during the quarter decreased to
$1,947,555 from $2,341,726. Advertising expenses were 18% of sales for the
quarter in 1998 as compared to 22% in 1997. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were approximately 30.5% in the current quarter as
compared to 27.5% in 1997.
All of the Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food chains
and mass merchandisers throughout the United States.
The Company's financial position as at May 31, 1998 consists of current assets
of $19,866,513 and current liabilities of $8,120,525. During the six month
period ended May 31, 1998, shareholders' equity increased from $13,727,991 at
November 30, 1997 to $14,895,213 at May 31, 1998. This was due primarily to
the net income generated for the period.
During the six months, the Company used $2.23 million in operations, generated
$697,000 from new borrowings, and used approximately $347,000 to purchase fixed
assets and additional marketable securities. These factors resulted in a net
decrease in the Company's cash of about $1,880,000.
The Company believes that its current financial condition is sufficient to
support its proposed operations for the near future.
