NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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. Operating results for the six month period
ended May 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2000. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial state
ments and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1999.
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 Cosmetics, Inc.,
CCA Labs, Inc., Berdell, Inc., Nutra Care Corporation, and CCA
Online Industries, Inc.), all of which are currently inactive.
In March of 1998 CCA acquired 80% of the newly organized Fragrance
Corporation of America, Ltd. which manufactures and distributes
perfume products. In 1999, the Company adopted a formal plan to
discontinue the operations of the subsidiary. The 1999 financial
statements have been restated to give effect for discontinued
operations.
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.
Use of Estimates:
The consolidated financial statements include the use of esti-
mates, which management believes are reasonable. 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.
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.

Use of Estimates:
The consolidated financial statements include the use of esti

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.
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 1999, two officers/shareholders exercised in the
aggregate 100,000 options in exchange for 25,000 shares 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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of
the net assets acquired and is amortized over 60 months.
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.
Tax Credits:
Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-
through method as a reduction of income taxes in the years
utilized.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Earnings Per Common Share:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" in 1998. Basic earnings per share is calculated
using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average
number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock
options using the "treasury stock method" and convertible debentures using
the "if-converted" method. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes sales at the time delivery occurs. Although no legal
right of return exists between the customer and the Company, it is an
industry-wide practice to accept returns from customers. The Company, there-
fore, records a reserve for returns equal to its gross profit on its histori-
cal percentage of returns on its last five months sales.
Comprehensive Income:
The Company adopted SFAS #130, Comprehensive Income, which
considers the Company's financial performance in that it includes
all changes in equity during the period from transactions and
events from non-owner sources.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the 2000 presentation.

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
$2,679,971 is accordingly reflected in the balance sheet for the
interim period. This deferral is the result of the Company's
$6,000,000 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:
2000 1999
(In Millions)(In Millions)
Media advertising budget for the
fiscal year $6.00 $6.00

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the three month period ended May 31, 2000, the Company had revenues
of $12,002,479 and a net profit after taxes of $750,806. In the prior year's
period, the Company had revenues of $11,152,945 and a net income of $181,132
(excluding sales from discontinued operations of $210,940). Sales for the
current quarter were increased from the Company's brand products. Sales
returns ran approximately 6.5% of gross sales substantially similar to the
prior year period.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures were
$2,850,053 as compared to $2,765,095. Advertising expenditures were 24% of
sales for the period as compared to 25%. Since both co-op advertising, media
advertising and promotions have a material effect on the Company's opera
tions, the Company attempts to anticipate its advertising and promotional
commitments as a percentage of anticipated gross sales in order to spread the
costs on its quarterly income statements.
For the six month period ended May 31, 2000, the Company had revenues
of $20,638,599 and net income of $544,684 after a provision of income taxes
of $308,431. In the prior year's period, the Company had revenues of
$19,851,106 and net income of $252,793 after a provision for income taxes of
$270,954. Net sales for the six month period ended May 31, 2000
($20,505,775) were up approximately $740,000 from the 1999 sales for the six
months ($19,767,027) (excluding sales of $1,299,517 from discontinued
operations). Gross profit margins for the six month period were 61.5%
similar to the prior year, despite a special credit allowance of
approximately $250,000 in sales allowances with a major account, which had
a negative impact on the gross profit margin but decreased the cooperative
advertising anticipated expenditures by that amount.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures
decreased during the six month period from $4,785,212 to $4,686,304.
Advertising expenditures were 23% of sales for the six months ended May 31,
2000 as compared with 24% for the period ended May 31, 1999. 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 $2,679,971 is accordingly reflected in the balance sheet for the
interim period, as compared to $1,265,960 at May 31, 1999. The deferral is
the result of the Company's $6 million media budget for the entire year which
is predicated on substantially lower spending in the third and fourth
quarters; as well as the Company's $2,700,000 co-op advertising budget.
Specifically, the Company spent approximately $5.3 million in the six months
on media advertising and, therefore, expensed $3 million and deferred $2.3

(UNAUDITED)
million as of May 31, 2000. Similarly, as of May 31, 2000, the Company's co-op
advertising commitments for the year ended November 30, 2000 were anticipated
to be approximately $2.7 million of which approximately $1.7 million was
spent in the first six months resulting in an expense of $1.35 million and
a deferral of approximately $400,000 as of May 31, 2000. Approximately
$500,000 has been reduced in the estimated co-op commitment but will be
offset with a special credit allowance against sales given to a major account
which will reduce sales by that amount and have a negative effect on gross
profit margins.
Comparatively as of May 31, 1999, the Company had anticipated media
advertising expense in fiscal year 1999 of $6 million and spent approximately
$3.32 million in the first six months resulting in a deferral of approxi
mately $.32 million. The anticipated co-op commitments as of May 31, 1999
were $3.5 million for the year of which $2.7 million were spent for the six
months resulting in a $.95 million deferral.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")for the three month
and six month periods ($3,512,913 compared to $3,389,518, and $6,714,400
compared to $6,309,093, respectively) increased primarily due to the
increased shipping cost associated with the larger sales volume coupled with
a rise in freight rates as a result of the increase in oil costs; as well as
proportionate increases in commissions.
Research and development expenses for the three and six months were
substantially the same.
Bad debt expense for the six month period increased due to the necessary
reserves on the increasing accounts receivable. Actual write-offs were
approximately $30,000 in 2000 as compared to $32,000 in 1999.
The Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food chains and
mass merchandisers.
The Company's financial position as at May 31, 2000 consists of current
assets of $22,599,452 and current liabilities of $9,580,686. The Company's
cash position decreased due to the significant increase in its accounts
receivable due to a general slow down in payments by the major retailers.
The Company's accounts payable also increased due to the Company's extension
of its own payment terms. During the six month period ended May 31, 2000,
shareholders' equity increased from $15,166,082 at November 30, 1999 to
$15,659,462 at May 31, 2000. This was due primarily to the net income
generated during the period.
During the six months, the Company used $86,000 in operations and
$252,000 to purchase new fixed assets. These factors resulted in a net
decrease in the Company's cash of about $338,000.
