                             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 three-month period ended February 28, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2006.  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, 2005.  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 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

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 of America 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.

 

Other Comprehensive Income:

 

Total comprehensive income includes changes in equity that are excluded from the consolidated statement of operations and are recorded directly into a separate section of consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income shown on the consolidated balance sheet consist of unrealized gains and losses on investment holdings net of any tax consequence.

 

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 the three months ended February 28, 2006, three officer/directors exercised in the aggregate  70,500 options, David Edell – 22,500, Ira Berman – 28,000 and Dunnan Edell – 20,000.  In addition, the Company purchased and retired an aggregate of 225,000 shares of common stock from three officer/directors, David Edell – 100,000, Ira Berman – 100,000 and Drew Edell – 25,000.  The purchase price was $10.50 discounted from $10.82, the closing price at the close of business on the transaction date.

 

For the three months ended February 28, 2006, dividends declared but not yet due amounted to $362,317.

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.

 

Inventories:

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

 

Product returns that are resaleable 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                                       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.

 

Earnings Per Common Share:

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the quarter.  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 upon shipment of merchandise.  Net sales comprise gross revenues 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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Sales Incentives:

 

The Company has accounted for certain sales incentives offered to customers by charging them directly to sales as opposed to “advertising and promotional” expense.  Has EITF 00-14 not been adopted, net sales for the three months ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 would have been $15,921,789 and $15,290,020, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs:

 

The Company’s policy for fiscal financial reporting is to charge advertising cost to operations as incurred.  During fiscal year 2005, the Company changed its estimate of future benefits it derives from its advertising expenditures and the affect it has on its allocation of advertising expense among the interim quarters.  Effective June 1, 2005, the Company expensed its advertising based on when the advertising ran.  The Change in estimate affects interim reporting and had no effect on the Company’s earnings for the year ending November 30, 2005. 

 

Shipping and Handling Costs:

 

The Company’s policy for fiscal financial reporting is to charge shipping costs as part of selling, general and administrative expense as incurred.  Freight costs included were $573,667 and $811,421 for the three months ended February 28, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

Stock Options:

 

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 equal the market price in the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.  In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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 No. 123 will require future grants of stock options to employee to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values, and is effective with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005 (the Company’s first quarter ending February 28, 2007).  The impact of adoption is not anticipated to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flow.

                       Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

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. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25.    Under the new standard, companies will no longer be allowed to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25.  Instead, companies will be required to account for such transactions using a fair value method and to recognize the expense in the statement of operations.  The adoption of SFAS 123R will require additional accounting related to the income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements and additional disclosure of their cash flow impacts.  SFAS 123R also allows, but does not require companies to restate prior periods.  In April 2005, the SEC issued a final rule that amended the effective date to the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005 (the Company’s first quarter ending February 28, 2007).  The impact of adoption is not anticipated to be material to our financial position, results of operation or cash flow.

                       Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued):

 

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.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (SFAS 154).  SFAS No. 154 replaced APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statement” and establishes retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting.

The Company has an available line of credit of $10,000,000 which was increased from $7,000,000 on May 27, 2004.  Interest is calculated at the Company’s option, either on the outstanding balance at the 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 February 28, 2006 and November 30, 2005.  The Company has extended the line of credit through May 31, 2006.

 

 

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.

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. 

 

For the three-month period ended February 28, 2006, the company had revenues of  $15,476,831 and net income of $1,070,778 after provision for taxes of $688,628.  For the same quarter in 2004, revenues were $14,814,188 and net income was $944,830 after a provision for taxes of $579,083.  Earnings per share were $.15 (diluted) for the first quarter 2006 as compared to earnings $.13 (diluted) for the first quarter 2005.  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 first quarter of 2006 were reduced by $614,918 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 $601,783 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 increased from $14,688,237 for the three-month period ended February 28, 2005 to $15,306,871 for the three-month period ended February 28, 2006.  Sales returns and allowances were 4.9% of gross sales for the three-month period ended February 28, 2006 from 6.1% for the same period last year.   Gross profit margins remained relatively flat at 61.86% and 62.93% for the three months ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 respectively. 

 

The Company’s gross sales net of returns by category were:  Skin Care $5,477,862, 33.8%; Dietary Supplement $4,708,121, 29.1%; Oral Care $3,499,929, 21.6%; Nail Care $1,233,375, 7.6%; Hair Care $709,570, 4.4%; Fragrance $491,570, 3%; and Miscellaneous $72,566, .5%; for a total of $16,192,992.  The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has had no substantial cost increases.  Income before taxes is $1,759,406 as compared to $1,523,913 for the same quarter in 2005.  Returns and reserves accounted for $1,430,863 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 three months ended February 28, 2006, and 2005 by $614,918 and $601,783.  The reclassification reduces the gross profit margin but does not affect the net income.

 

Advertising expenditures were 18.5% of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2006 vs. 21.1% for first quarter 2005.  The advertising expenditures in Fiscal 2006 reflect the change in the Company's estimate (effective with the third quarter of 2005) as to when the Company realizes a benefit from its advertising expenditures.  Fiscal 2006 reflects the actual dollars spent on advertising during the quarter while Fiscal 2005 reflects only an allocated portion of the annual advertising budget and a deferral of the balance of the actual dollars spent.  The selling, general and administrative expenses increased $481,936 to $4,874,892 from $4,393,496 in the first quarter 2005.

The Company’s financial position as of February 28, 2006 consists of current assets of $26,261,285 and current liabilities of $9,830,136, or a current ratio of 2.67 to 1.  Shareholders’ equity decreased from $25,999,656 as of November 30, 2005 to $24,345,654 as of February 28, 2006.  The decrease was due to the purchase and retirement of 225,000 shares, as authorized by the Board of Directors, from three officer/directors, David Edell – 100,000, Ira Berman – 100,000 and Drew Edell – 25,000.  The purchase price was $10.50 discounted from $10.82, the closing price at the close of business on the transaction date.  An additional decrease was the purchase of 8,100 shares of Treasury Stock at a cost of $64,436 during the first quarter of 2006.

 

The company’s long term investments as of February 28, 2006 were $6,798,613.  Assuming these long-term investments can be sold and turned into liquid assets at any time, it would result in a current ratio of 3.36 to 1.

 

Accounts receivable, net of reserves, were $9,290,161 as compared to $9,260,399 as of February 28, 2006 and November 30, 2005, respectively.  Inventories, net of reserves, were $5,525,273 as of February 28, 2006 as compared to $6,554,150 as of November 30, 2005.  Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased to $9,467,819 as of February 28, 2006 from $8,734,092 as of November 30, 2005.  The Company was not utilizing any of the funds available under its $10,000,000 unsecured credit line as of February 28, 2006. 

 

 

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.”  $350,341 of the Company’s $14,603,446 portfolio of investments (approximate, as at February 28, 2006) is invested in the “Common Stock” and “Other Equity” categories, and approximately $809,188 in that category are Preferred Stock holdings.  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 February 28, 2006.

 

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.
