AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 -BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated finan- cial 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 re- quired by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of manage- ment, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended August 31, 2004 are not necessarily indica- tive of the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2004. 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, 2003. 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 Corpora- tion, CCA Online Industries, Inc., and CCA Industries Canada (2003) Inc., all of which are currently inactive. NOTE 3 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the ac- counts of CCA and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collec- tively the "Company"). -6- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of con- tingent assets and liabilities at the date of the finan- cial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents: 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. The Company has cash balances in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC as of August 31, 2004. 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 unreal ized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. 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 obso- lescence is determined. -7- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 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 depre- ciation 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 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 (ranging from 1-9 years) Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are stated at cost. Patents and trade marks are amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 15-17 years. 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 tempo- rary 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. Earnings Per Common Share: 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 weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock method" and convertible deben- tures using the "if-converted" method. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options. -8- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of merchan- dise. Net sales are comprised of gross sales less ex- pected returns, trade discounts, customer allowances and various sales incentives. Although no legal right of return exists between the customer and the Company, it is an industry-wide practice to accept returns from custom- ers. The Company, therefore, records a reserve for re - turns equal to its gross profit on its historical per- centage of returns on its last five months sales. Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest, although a finance charge may be ap- plied to receivables that are past due. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectibility 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. Accounts receivable with credit balances have been included as a current liability in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the accompanying balance sheet. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $278,449 and $549,851 as of August 31, 2004 and November 30, 2003, respectively. Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company presents shipping and handling costs as part of selling, general and administrative expense and not as part of cost of sales. Freight costs were $2,113,035,and $2,302,746 for the nine months ended August 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Comprehensive Income: In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", the Company is required to report comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation. -9- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets consist of the following: August 31, November 30, 2004 2003 Patents and trademarks $762,298 $759,394 Less: Accumulated amortization 263,263 227,201 Intangible Assets - Net $499,035 $532,193 Amortization expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $36,091 and $36,017, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each quarter of the ensuing five years through May 31, 2009 is $12,000. -10- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 $1,930,556 is accordingly reflected in the balance sheet for the interim period. This deferral is the result of the Company's $10 million media budget and $5.5 million co-op budget for the year which contemplates lower spending in the 4th quarter than in the other three quarters. The table below sets forth the calculation: August August 2004 2003 (In Millions) (In Millions) Media advertising budget for the fiscal year $10.00 $8.00 Pro-rata portion for nine months 7.50 $6.00 Media advertising spent 8.99 6.70 Accrual (deferral) ($ 1.49) ($.070) Anticipated Co-op advertising commitments $ 5.50 $5.00 Pro-rata portion for nine months 4.13 3.75 Co-op advertising spent 4.55 4.30 Accrual (deferral) ($ .42) ($ .55) NOTE 8 -ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES The following items which exceeded 5% of total current liabilities are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of: August 31, November 30, 2004 2003 (In Thousands) (In Thousands) a)Media advertising $ * $ * b)Coop advertising 1,219 607 c)Accrued returns 1,123 787 d)Accrued bonuses 437 499 * under 5% All other liabilities were for trade payables or individually did not exceed 5% of total current liabilities. -11- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9 - OTHER INCOME Other income consists of the following at August 31: 2004 2003 Interest and dividend income $388,898 $352,572 Royalty income 90,053 58,699 Miscellaneous 35,125 25,914 $514,076 $437,185 NOTE 10 - NOTES PAYABLE AND SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES The Company has an available line of credit of $10,000,000. Interest is calculated at the Company's option, either on the outstanding balance at prime rate minus 1% or Libor plus 150 basis points. The line of credit is unsecured and the Company must adhere to certain financial covenants pertaining to net worth and debt coverage. The Company was not utilizing their available credit line at August 31, 2004 or November 30, 2003. On August 1, 2000, the Company repurchased (pursuant to a tender offer) 278,328 shares of its outstanding common stock by issuing subordinated debentures equal to $2 per share, which accrue interest at 6% and are due to mature on August 1, 2005. The interest is payable semi- annually. NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company has been named as a defendant in 13 lawsuits alleging that the plaintiffs were injured as a result of their purchasing and ingesting our diet suppressant containing phenylpropanolamine (PPA), which the Company utilized as its active ingredient in its products prior to November 2000. The lawsuits that were brought against the Company are were for unspecified amounts of compensatory and exemplary damages. Eleven of the suits have been dismissed with prejudice. Outside counsel for the Company believes that the two PPA cases still pending against the Company are defensible. Of the Company's two pending suits, there is a motion pending for the dismissal of one and the other is insured by the Company's liability carrier who is defending the case in order to obtain a decision of dismissal on the merits. Dividends CCA declared a cash dividend of $0.14 per share payable to all holders of the Company's common stock, $0.07 to shareholders of record on May 1, 2004 payable on June 1, 2004 and $0.07 to shareholders of record on November 1, 2004, payable on December 1, 2004. On June 17, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a 2% stock dividend payable on December 1, 2004 to shareholders of record on November 1, 2004. -12- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 12 - PENSION PLANS The Company has adopted a 401(K) Profit Sharing Plan that covers union and non-union employees with over one year of service and attained Age 21. Employees may make salary reduction contributions up to twenty-five percent of compensation not to exceed the federal government limits. NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company issued incentive stock options to purchase 66,600 shares and non-qualified stock options to purchase 33,400 shares under the 2003 stock option plan. Under the provisions of APB No. 25, no compensation expense has been, or will be, recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Proforma net income and net income per share, as required by SFAS No. 123, have been determined as if we had accounted for all employee stock options granted under SFAS No. 123's fair value method. The proforma effect of recognizing compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 is as follows: Three Months Nine Months Ended August 31, Ended August 31, 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net income as reported $1,457,230 $1,287,125 $5,091,575 $4,444,846 SFAS No. 123 based compensation ( 6,974) - ( 193,504) - Income tax benefit 2,790 - 77,402 - Net income - proforma $1,453,046 $1,287,125 $4,975,473 $4,444,846 Basic net income per share - as reported $.20 $.18 $.70 $.61 Basic net income per share - proforma $.20 $.18 $.68 $.61 Diluted net income per shares - as reported $.19 $.17 $.67 $.59 Diluted net income per share - proforma $.19 $.17 $.65 $.59 Weighted average shares used in computing net income and proforma net income per share: Basic 7,340,519 7,276,844 7,314,848 7,211,350 Diluted 7,619,540 7,674,234 7,593,220 7,593,596 -13- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued) Proforma information regarding net income and net income per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of these options were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2004: a risk-free interest rate of 3.78% and 4.73%; dividend yield of 1.68% and 1.55%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 20.32% and 9.74%; and a weighted average life of the options of five or ten years. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. NOTE 14 - SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES Short-term investments and marketable securities, which consist of stock and various corporate and government obligations, are stated at market value.

-20- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) For the three-month period ended August 31, 2004, the Company had revenues of $16,696,391 and net income of $1,457,230 after a provision for taxes of $957,251. The Company increased its advertising budget by $750,000 for the quarter over and above its estimated merchandising and media expenses that it had contemplated at the beginning of the year. Last year, for the August 31 quarter, the Company had $12,852,537 of revenue and net income of $1,287,125. This represents a 30% and 13% improvement in revenues and net income, respectively. Gross margins decreased slightly from 68.4% to 67.3%. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $4,739,038 from $4,195,547, as a result of an increase in staff and sales commissions. For the three month period ending August 2004, advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures were $3.90 million. Last year, for the same three-month period ending August 31, 2003, they were $2.40 million. Advertising expenditures were 23.8% of sales compared to 18.9% last year. Since both co-op advertising and promotions have a material effect on the Company's operation, the Company attempts to anticipate its advertising and promotional commitments as a percent of gross sales in order to control its effect on its net income. In accordance with APB No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, the Company expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim periods based on its total expected cost per its various advertising programs. Consequently, a deferral of $1.5 million for media expense and $0.4 million for co-op expenditures for the nine month period is reflected in the balance sheet. The Company deferred $0.7 million of media costs in the prior year for the nine-month period. The deferral is the result of the Company's final current year's $10.0 million media budget which was amended from $9 million on August 2, 2004 for the entire current year. These deferrals were predicated on substantially lower spending in the third and fourth quarters. Co-op expenditures are budgeted at $5.5 million for the year. Specifically, the Company spent $9.0 million for media advertising in the nine months and $4.6 million for co-op advertising. The difference between the actual expense and the budgeted expense is deferred or accrued over the subsequent three month period, and by the end of the year will be fully expensed. For the nine month period ended August 31, 2004, the Company had revenue of $48,123,126 and a net income of $5,091,575 after a provision for income taxes of $3,327,895. In the prior year's period, the Company had revenues of $42,978,569 and net income of $4,444,846 after a provision for income taxes of $2,844,562. Gross profit margins for the nine-month period ending August 31, 2004 decreased from 67.6% in the prior year to 66.2%. For the nine month period ended August 2004, advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures were $9,819,958 as compared to $7,760,818 for the nine-month period ending August 31, 2003. The Company budgeted a national advertising expenditure for the current year at $10 million up from $8 million the prior year and budgeted co-op and promotions from $5 million to $5.5 million allocated over the current fiscal year. The co-op and promotion allowance increases were partially reversed by co-op advertising credits previously accrued in the prior year not taken by our customers because the proposed promotion did not consummate. The reversed credits were allocated over the current fiscal year. Current advertising expenditures were 20.6% of sales versus 18.2% last year. -21- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) For the nine-month period ending August 31, 2004, research and development expenses were $666,755 compared to $661,250 last year. The Company's financial position as of August 31, 2004 consists of current assets of $24,820,793 and current liabilities of $8,226,905 or a current ratio of 3:1. In addition, shareholders' equity increased from $23,344,540 to $27,338,628 primarily due to net income earned during the period. All of the Company's investments are classified as available for sale. Investments with a maturity date greater than one year from August 31, 2004 are presented as long-term investments. Assuming these long-term investments can be sold and turned into liquid assets at any time, it would result in a current ratio of 4.2:1. The Company generated $2.5 million in cash from operations due to the nine month net income of $5.09 million, a $1.4 million increase in accounts payable, a $700,000 net increase in income taxes due and a decrease in prepaid income taxes of $237,000, and $420,000 non-cash expenses included in net income. Cash decreased due to an inventory increase of $0.8 million, an increase in the Company's accounts receivable of $2.7 million, and an increase in deferred advertising of $1.9 million. All increases in deferred advertising, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable are "normal" seasonal increases. The $2.5 million cash generated by operations, however, was partially used to pay dividends of $891,000, and for the acquisition of equipment of $108,000. The Company paid after netting purchases and sales of marketable securities $57,000, leaving the Company with $1.46 million increase in cash. 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", "Mutual Funds", "Other Equity", "Preferred Stock", "Government Obligations" and "Corporate Obligations". $465,284 of the Company's $13,592,807 portfolio of investments (approximate, as at August 31, 2004) is invested in the "Common Stock" and "Other Equity" categories, and approximately $1,176,952 in that category are Preferred Stock holdings. Whereas 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; therefore, the Company does not believe that its investment-market risk is material. -22- ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2004. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) subsequent to the date the controls were evaluated that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. -23- CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.
