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 nine-month
period ended August 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2005. 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, 2004. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal
reoccurring 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 Cosmetics, Inc., CCA Labs,
Inc., Berdell, Inc., Nutra Care Corporation, 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 accounts of CCA and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Company").

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Use of Estimates:
The consolidated financial statements include the use of estimates, 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.
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.
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 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 are amortized on the
straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Such intangible assets are
reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate
that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
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:
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average weighted 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 debentures using the "if-converted" method.
Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales are
comprised of gross sales less expected 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 customers. The Company, therefore, records a reserve
for returns equal to its gross profit on its historical percentage 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 applied 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 are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$349,671 and $111,572 as of August 31, 2005 and November 30, 2004,
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 $2,835,944 and $2,113,035 for the nine months ended August 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively.
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 fiscal
2005 presentation.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 46R, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN
46R"), which supercedes Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities" issued in January 2003. FIN 46R requires a company to
consolidate a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as defined, when the company
will absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses, receives a majority of
the VIE's expected residual returns or both. FIN 46R also requires
consolidation of existing, non-controlled affiliates if the VIE in unable to
finance its operations without investor support, or where the other investors
do not have exposure to the significant risks and rewards of ownership. FIN
46R applies immediately to a VIE created or acquired after January 31, 2003.
For a VIE created before February 1, 2003, FIN 46R applies in the first fiscal
year or interim period beginning after March 15, 2004, our third fiscal
quarter beginning June 1, 2004. Application of FIN 46R is also required in
financial statements that have interests in structures that are commonly
referred to as special-purpose entities for periods after December 15, 2003.
The adoption of FIN 46R did not have an impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 151, "Inventory Costs" ("SFAS 151"). SFAS 151 amends the
guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory
Pricing", to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as
current-period charges and required the allocation of fixed production
overheads to inventory based on normal capacity of the production facilities.
This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to
have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus
on Issue No. 03-13, "Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement
No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" in
Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations" (EITF 03-13"). Under
the consensus, the approach for assessing whether cash flows of the component
have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity focuses on
whether continuing cash flows are direct or indirect cash flows. Cash flows
of the component would not be eliminated if the continuing cash flows to the
entity are considered direct cash flows. The consensus should be applied to a
component of an enterprise that is either disposed of or classified as held
for sale in fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of
EITF 03-13 is not expected to have an impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123R supercedes APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and amends SFAS No. 95, "Statement
of Cash Flows". SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in
which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions
and requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on
their fair values. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123R's fair value method
will have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will
have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of the adoption
of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on the
levels of share-based payments granted in the future. SFAS 123R also requires
the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs to
be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than
-10-

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued):
as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This
requirement would reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing
cash flows in periods after adoption. While we cannot estimate what those
amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, the
issuance of future options and when they would be exercised), the amount of
operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax
deductions were not material to our consolidated financial position or results
of operations. This statement is effective for our fiscal year beginning
December 1, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets"
("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 amends the guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting
for Nonmonetary Transactions" to eliminate certain exceptions to the principle
that exchanges of nonmonetary assets be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception for nonmonetary
exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial
substance. This statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges in
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 is not
expected to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

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, 2005 or November 30, 2004.
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 accrued interest at 6% and matured on
August 1, 2005. The interest was payable semi-annually.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The only material legal proceedings sets forth the fact that there were
originally 13 cases filed in which the Company was named along with other
defendants 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. Eleven cases have been
dismissed with prejudice. These cases cannot be legally reinstated. The one
case in Philadelphia in which one of the defendants filed for bankruptcy has
been delayed. The court is rendering a decision on our motion to dismiss. We
agree with independent counsel that, as concluded under the decision in
Seattle, unless a plaintiff ingested a product with PPA within three days of a
stroke, there can be no causation to prove that a product caused the stroke.
We feel that the case should be dismissed inasmuch as plaintiff at the
deposition deposed that she took our product months before the stroke.
The remaining case in Louisiana is fully insured to the extent of $5,000,000.
After reviewing the plaintiff's medical records, it does not appear that there
is ongoing significant medical problems that would cause a jury to render a
substantial judgment. Counsel evidently in discussing the matter with Phoenix
Insurance Company, has not made any substantial efforts to settle the case
which we have been led to believe could be settled for under $250,000.
We do not believe that any further litigations would be ensuing because the
Statute of Limitations throughout the country provided that the case must be
instituted within three to four years within the time frame in which a
plaintiff had constructive notice of the product that proximately caused a
stroke. The FDA put out a news release nationally in October 2000. However,
there can be no assurance that the current PPA litigation will not have a
material adverse effect upon the Company's operations.
Dividends
CCA declared a dividend of $0.16 per share payable to all holders of the
Company's common stock, $0.08 to shareholders of record on May 1, 2005 payable
on June 1, 2005 and $0.08 to shareholders of record on November 1, 2005,
payable on December 1, 2005.

The market value at August 31, 2005 was $ 11,947,020 as compared to
$10,804,936 at November 30, 2004. The gross unrealized gains and losses were

NOTE 14 - CHANGE IN ESTIMATE
In accordance with discussions with the SEC, the Company changed its estimate
of the future benefits it derives from its advertising expenditures and the
effect it has on its allocation of advertising expense among the interim
periods. Previously each quarter was charged an equal share of the annual
advertising budget. The Company will now expense its advertising based on
when the advertising actually runs. As a result of the change, the Company
charged all of the previously deferred media advertising to expense in the
third quarter, instead of continuing to defer a portion to the fourth quarter
as it had done in previous years. The deferral coupled with the actual
expenditures for advertising in the third quarter resulted in a total
advertising expense for the third quarter of $3.5 million.
APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting states "Advertising costs may be deferred
within a fiscal year if the benefits of an expenditure made clearly extend
beyond the interim period in which the expenditure is made."
This APB requires an estimate to be made by the company as to how much benefit
of incurred advertising will be realized in subsequent quarters. As stated in
the previously filed 10Q's, over the past years the Company has reported its
advertising expense consistently according to its interpretation of APB 28
Interim Financial Reporting by expensing its annualized budgeted advertising
expense equally over the four quarters. The Company believed that its
budgeted advertising expense for any year affected its sales for the entire
year regardless of when the advertisement actually ran. The strategy adopted
by the company to get the most value for its advertising dollars is to
saturate the market during the first two quarters of each fiscal year so that
an impression can be made on the consumer. The benefit of that advertising is
then reflected in the brand recognition achieved, which carries over into the
last two quarters of the year. By the beginning of the next fiscal year the
Company believes it must, once again, saturate the market to rekindle the
interest in its products. The Company does not believe that the advertising
spent in a particular quarter results solely to the sales in that quarter, but
results in future sales. However, since it is impossible to determine exactly
how much benefit is derived in future periods from current advertising, the
Company, beginning with the quarter ending August 31, 2005, will no longer
defer any of its advertising expense during the interim quarters and will
expense all costs of advertising that ran as of the end of each period.

This reporting change would have had no effect on the year end financials
whatsoever. It simply would have skewed the quarterly earnings to reflect
significantly less earnings in the first two quarters when we typically spend
the bulk of our advertising dollars and significantly more income in the third
and fourth quarters when we significantly reduce our current spending.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED)
Except for historical information contained herein, this "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
contains forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and
unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or outcomes to
be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, and statements which
explicitly describe such issues. Investors are urged to consider any
statement labeled with the terms "believes," "expects," "intends" or
"anticipates" to be uncertain and forward-looking.
After discussions with the staff of the SEC, the Company changed its
estimate of the future benefits it derives from its advertising expenditures
and the effect it had on its allocation of advertising expense among the
interim periods. Previously, each quarter was charged an equal share of the
annual advertising budget. In its future reports, the Company will expense
its advertising based on when the advertising actually runs. As a result of
the change, the Company charged all of the previously deferred media
advertising to expense in the third quarter, instead of continuing to defer a
portion to the fourth quarter as it had done in previous years. The deferral
coupled with the actual expenditures for advertising in the third quarter
resulted in a total advertising expense for the third quarter of $3.5 million.
For comparison purposes, the company will set forth a proforma statement
of operations showing the advertising expense that was actually incurred in
each quarter for the four quarters of the fiscal year ended 11/30/04 and the
first three quarters of the current fiscal year. Commencing in the fourth
quarter of 2005, the Company's advertising expense will reflect only the
advertising expense that ran in the quarter. There will be no interim
deferral of expense.
For the three-month period ending August 31, 2005, the company had
revenues of $15,224,890 and net loss of $(390,834) after provision for taxes
of $481,550. For the same quarter in 2004, revenues were $16,696,391 and net
income was $1,457,230 after a provision for taxes of $957,251. Earnings per
share was $.(.05) (diluted) for the third quarter 2005 as compared to earnings
$.19 (diluted) for the third quarter 2004. In accordance with EITF 00-14, 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 third quarter of 2005 were reduced by $477,627
and offset by an equal reduction of trade promotional expenses, which were
included in the Company's advertising expense budget. In the same period of
the prior year, gross sales were reduced by $595,544 and trade promotion was
credited by that amount. These accounting adjustments under EIFT 00-14 do not
affect net income.
The Company's net sales decreased from $16,535,940 for the three-month
period ending August 31, 2004 to $15,064,845 for the three-month period ending
August 31, 2005, primarily due to an additional reserve of $1 million to
account for the possible returns of its recently launched new skin care
produce line. Sales returns and allowances increased to 13.8% of gross sales
for the three-month period ending August 31, 2005 from 4.9% for the same
period last year. This increase was primarily caused by the increase in the
reserve of $1 million plus the actual returns of approximately $200,000 from
the skin care line. Gross profit margins decreased to 62.4% for three-month
period ending August 31, 2005 compared to 67.3% for the same three-month
period in the prior year, partially as a result of the returns referred to
above.
-19-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The Compan's net sales were $48,245,523 for the nine months ending
August 31, 2005 to $47,609,050 for the nine months ending August 31, 2004.
Sales returns and allowances increased to 12.6% of gross sales this year from
9.7% last year for the nine months ending August 31, due to substantial
returns resulting from the unsuccessful launch of its new skin care brand.
Gross profit margins were 64.1% for the nine months ending August 31, 2005
compared to 66.1% for the same period in the prior year. The Company's gross
sales net of returns by category were: Cosmetics and Fragrances $6,103,378,
11.7%; Health and Beauty Aids $29,207,716, 56.2%; and miscellaneous
over-the-counter $16,685,895, 32.1% for an aggregate total of $51,996,989.
The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has
had no substantial cost increases. Income before taxes is $4,283,122 as
compared to $8,419,470 for the same quarter in 2004. The 50.9% decrease in
income before taxes was a result of an increase of an additional $1,000,000 in
its reserve against possible future returns and expensing of its deferred
media advertising expenses from the prior six month period. Returns and
reserves accounted for $3,101,130 that was expensed against earnings for this
quarter. In accordance with GAAP, the Company reclassified certain
advertising expenditures as a reduction of sales rather than report them as
advertising expenses. The reclassification is the adoption by the Company of
the EITF 00-14 GAAP standard. The reclassification reflects a reduction in
sales for the nine months ending August 31, 2005, and 2004 by $1,891,740 and
$1,857,368. The reclassification reduces the gross profit margin but does not
affect the net income.
For the nine-month period ending August 31, 2005, the Company had
revenues of $48,655,131 and net income of $2,304,651 after a provision for
taxes of $1,978,471. For the same period in 2004, revenues were $48,123,126
and net income of $5,091,575 after a provision for taxes of $3,327,895.
For the nine month period ending August 31, 2005, advertising,
cooperative and promotional allowance expenses were $10,314,281 as compared to
$9,819,958 in the same period in 2004, increasing $494,323.
Advertising expenditures were 21.4% of sales for the current year vs.
20.6% last year. The SG&A expenses increased $2,826,981 to $15,865,753 from
$13,038,772 in 2004. The increase was due mainly to freight out which
increased by $722,909 from 2004 to 2005. That increase is due to the increase
of oil prices passed on to CCA, and immediate ship dates of our skin care
product line. To promote sales, CCA has offered IRC coupons in skus which
increased expenses $125,077. Additionally, royalty expenses have increased by
$189,597 due to the new royalty licenses. Consulting and temporary help
expense increased to $206,687 due to the marketing of new products.
The Company's financial position as of August 31, 2005 consists of
current assets of $23,197,776 and current liabilities of $8,024,688, or a
current ratio of 2.89 to 1. In addition, shareholders' equity increased from
$23,522,047 to $24,659,676.
All of the company's investments as of August 31,2005 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
3.93 to 1.
Accounts receivable were $8,605,633 as compared to $8,677,984 for
periods ending August 31, 2005 and November 30, 2004, respectively.
Inventories were $6,943,804 for period ending August 31, 2005 a compared to
$6,048,000 as of November 30, 2004. Accounts payable and accrued expenses
increased primarily due to the increase in co-op advertising payable and
accrual for returns for the period. As of August 31, 2005, the Company was
not utilizing any of the funds available under its $10,000,000 unsecured
credit line.
-20-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
For the period ended August 31, 2005, there was approximately $2,247,932
of open co-op commitments, $72,873 from 2003, $556,184 from 2004 and
$1,618.873 for the current year. If it becomes apparent that this co-op will
not be utilized, the unclaimed co-op will be offset against the expense during
the rest of the fiscal year. This procedure is consistent with prior years'
methodology with regard to the unclaimed co-op expenses.
Please refer to footnote 14 of the financial statements with regard to
the Statement of Operations for the quarter under the former estimate and the
proforma Statement of Operations using the current estimate of expensing the
advertising in the actual period it was incurred. Had we not changed our
estimate, the advertising expense for the third quarter would have been $2.635
million with Income Before Tax Provision of $1.016 Million, Net Income of
$164,000 and EPS of $0.02.
The new accounting of advertising expense during the interim periods will
have no effect on the Company's year-end statement 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", "Mutual Funds",
"Other Equity", "Preferred Stock", "Government Obligations" and "Corporate
Obligations." $209,659 of the Company's $11,535,869 portfolio of investments
(approximate, as at May 31, 2005) is invested in the "Common Stock" and "Other
Equity" categories, and approximately $617,844 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.
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,
2005.
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.
