PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
(a) General
CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. (hereinafter, the "Company") was
incorporated in Delaware on March 25, 1983.
The Company operates in one industry segment, which may
be described generally as the health-and-beauty aids business,
selling numerous products, in several health-and-beauty
categories. Most are manufactured by contract manufacturers,
pursuant to the Company's specifications and formulations.
The Company owns (or owns license to use) registered
trademarks for all of its brand-name products. Thus, its nail
treatment products are sold under the trademarked names "Nutra
Nail" and "Nutra 60"; hair treatment products are sold under the
names "Pro Perm," "Wash 'n Curl," "Wash n Tint" and "Wash 'n
Straight"; depilatory products under the name "Hair Off"; skin
care products under the name "Sudden Change; oral hygiene
products under the mark "Plus+White" and dietary products under
the names "Eat 'n Lose," "Hungrex Plus" and "Permathene."
A substantial number of the Company's products are sold
under exclusive license agreements. (See "Business-License
Agreements") All of the licensed products and the Company's
"wholly-owned" products, are sold to major drug and food chains,
mass merchandisers, and wholesale beauty-aids distributors
throughout the United States and Canada. Foreign sales accounted
for approximately 7.5% of sales.
Including the principal members of management (see
Directors and Executive Officers), the Company, at November 30,
1996, had 127 sales, administrative, creative, accounting,
receiving, and warehouse personnel in its employ.
(b) Manufacturing and Shipping
The Company manufactures its hot-wax depilatory 'in
house.' Otherwise, the company creates formulations, chooses
colors and mixtures, and arranges with independent contractors
for the manufacture of its products pursuant to Company
specifications. Manufacturing and component-supply arrangements
are maintained with several manufacturers and suppliers. Almost
all orders and other product shipments are delivered from the
Company's own warehouse facilities, which results in more
effective inventory control, more efficient shipping procedures,
and the realization of related economies.
(c) Marketing
The Company markets its products through an in-house
sales force of employees, and independent sales representatives
throughout the United States. Major drug, food and mass-
merchandise retail chains, and leading wholesalers, are the
primary focus of the overall sales effort.
-1-
The Company sells its products to approximately 600
accounts, most of which have numerous outlets. (The Company
estimates that at least one of its brands is sold in
approximately 40,000 stores.) During the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1996, the Company's largest customer accounted for
approximately 22% of the Company's sales revenues. (None other
accounted for as much as 10%.) The loss of this principal
customer could materially and negatively effect the Company's
earnings.
Sales of the Company's products are not seasonally
dependent. Nevertheless, certain products are sensitive to
seasonal trends. For example, sales of depilatories and diet
aids, customarily, are considerably stronger in spring and summer
months.
The Company has an in-house advertising department. The
advertising staff designs point-of-purchase displays including
'blister cards', sales brochures and packaging layouts. Actual
production of displays, brochures, layouts and the like is
accomplished through contract suppliers.
(d) License Agreements
On March 3, 1986, the Company entered into a license
agreement with Alleghany Pharmacal Corporation (the "Alleghany
Pharmacal License"). Under the terms of the Alleghany Pharmacal
License, the Company was granted, and yet retains, the exclusive
right to manufacture subject products, and to use their
trademarks: "Nutra Nail," "Nutra 60," "Pro Perm," "Hair Off,"
"Permathane", "Hungrex Plus," and "IPR 3."
The Alleghany Pharmacal License requires the Company to
pay royalties of 6% per annum on net sales of nail-enamel
products sold under the "Nutra Nail" trademark, hair-care
products ("Pro-Perm") and dietary products ("Permathane,"
"Hungrex Plus" and "IPR 3"), and a 1% royalty for nail-enamel
products sold under the name "Nutra 60," and for the mitten
product sold for use in connection with the "Hair-Off" line of
products.
The Company is required to pay not less than $360,000
per annum in order to maintain the Alleghany Pharmacal License
rights. (Royalties have always exceeded the minimum; but, if
they did not, the Company would be entitled to maintain the
license rights by electing to pay the 'difference.' At the same
time, the Company would not be required to pay any fee in excess
of actual royalties if sales did not yield 'minimum royalties'
and the Company chose in such circumstance to concede the
rights.)
The Alleghany Pharmacal License agreement provides that
if, and when, in aggregate, $9,000,000 in royalties has been paid
thereunder, the royalty-rate for those products now 'charged' at
6% will be reduced to 1%. As at November 30, 1996, the Company
had paid $5,082,202 in royalty payments.
The products subject of the Alleghany-Pharmacal License
accounted for approximately 33% of sales in the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1996.
-2-
The Company has entered into various other license
agreements, none of which has had material impact upon the
Company's sales or financial results.
The overwhelming majority of sales revenues other than
those realized in respect of Alleghany-Pharmacal License products
are from sales of the Company's own, 'wholly owned' products
(e.g., Plus+White, Sudden Change, Wash-n-Curl and others).
(e) Advertising
The Company primarily utilizes local and national
television advertisements to promote its leading brands. On
occasion, print and radio advertisements are engaged. In
addition and more-or-less continuously, store-entered product
promotions are co-operatively undertaken with customers.
Each of the Company's brand-name products has attraction
for a particular demographic segment of the consumer market, and
advertising campaigns are directed to the respective market-
segments.
The Company's in-house staff is responsible for the
'traffic' of its advertising. Placement is accomplished directly
and through media-service companies.
(f) Trademarks
The Company owns, or owns licensed-use of numerous
trademarks for health-and-beauty aids products, which serve to
identify the products and the Company's proprietary interests,
for and in respect of domestic and international sales. The
Company considers these marks to be valuable assets, but there
can be no assurance that trademark registration results, or will
result, in 'enforceable' marketplace advantages.
(g) Competition
The market for cosmetics, health-and-beauty aids,
fragrances, and patent medicines is characterized by vigorous
competition among producers, many of which have substantially
greater financial, technological and marketing resources than the
Company. Competitors such as Revlon, L'Oreal, Colgate, Del
Laboratories, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble, have Fortune 500 or
like status, and public recognition of their products is
immediate and 'universal.' Moreover, the Company and its
products compete with a large number of manufacturers and
distributors of lesser renown that may also have greater
resources than the Company.
-3-
(h) Government Regulation
All of the products which the Company markets is subject
to particular regulation by governmental agencies, such as the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission,
and various state and/or local regulatory bodies. In some
instances assuming reasonable and sufficient market expectations,
the Company would attempt to obtain necessary approvals, but
there can be no assurance, in the absence of particular
circumstances, that any submissions will result in approvals.
Moreover, in the event such requirement circumstances should
arise in respect of a planned product, delays inherent in the
application process could have a material adverse affect upon any
plan of operations subject to the regulatory process.
Item 2. PROPERTY
The principal executive offices of the Company are
located at 200 Murray Hill Parkway, East Rutherford, New Jersey.
There, under a net lease, the Company occupies approximately
55,000 square feet of space. Approximately 40,000 square feet
in such premises is used for warehousing and 15,000 for offices.
The annual rental is $259,284, and the lease expires on March 31,
2001.
The Company leases an additional 30,000 square feet of
warehouse space in Paterson, New Jersey, on a net lease basis,
for $6,875 a month. That lease expires on September 30, 1997.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not engaged in any material litigation,
but is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary
course of its business activities.
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On June 12, 1996, the Company held its annual meeting of
shareholders. At the meeting, David Edell, Ira W. Berman, Jack
Polak, and Stanley Kreitman were elected as directors by the
holders of Class A Common Stock. (No proxy was solicited
therefor, whereas Messrs. Berman, Polak and David Edell own more
than 98% of the Class A Common Stock, and they proposed
themselves and Mr. Kreitman.) As proposed by the Board, Sidney
Dworkin, Irwin Gedinsky and Dunnan Edell were elected as
directors by the holders of the Common Stock, with 5,066,273
votes 'for' the slate and 43,654 votes withheld. Also, the
Board's appointment of Sheft Kahn & Company LLP as the company's
independent certified public accountants for the 1996 fiscal year
was approved, with 4,996,912 votes for, 101,000 against and
12,015 abstentions.
The Company has not submitted any matter to a vote of
security holders since the 1996 Annual Meeting.

PART II
Item 5. MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK
AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's Common Stock is traded on NASDAQ. The
range of high and low bids during each quarter of the 1995 and
1996 fiscal years is as follows:
Quarter Ended 1996 1995
Feb. 28 2 1/2 - 1 1/16 4 1/16 - 2 7/8

Aug. 31 5 1/8 - 3 3 - 2 1/8
Nov. 30 3 1/16 - 2 2 5/8 - 1 3/8
The published market value of the Common Stock as at
February 14, 1997 was 2 5/8 high bid, and 2 9/16 low asked.
The only unregistered securities sold by the Company
during the 1996 fiscal year were the result of sales of Common
Stock effected upon exercises of Stock Options previously issued
pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plans (see, "Executive
Compensation"), as follows:
Number Per Share

(See, "Directors And Executive Officers") The registration
exemption relied upon is that afforded by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
As at February 1, 1997, there were approximately 350
holders of shares of the Company's equity stock. (There are a
substantial number of shares held of record in various street and
depository trust accounts which represent approximately 1000
additional shareholders.)
The Company has never paid any Common Stock dividend.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Under the terms of the Alleghany Pharmacal License (see
"Business-License Agreements"), the royalty-rate for those
Alleghany Pharmacal License products now 'charged' at 6% will be
reduced to 1% after the sum of $9,000,000 in royalties has been
paid thereunder. (Certain products subject of the license are,
even now, 'charged' at only 1%. See "Business-License
Agreements")
As at November 30, 1996, the Company had paid or accrued
$5,082,202 in royalty payments to Alleghany.
Comparison of Results for Fiscal years 1996 and 1995
The Company's revenues for fiscal 1996 increased to
$39,705,023, from $37,166,731 in 1995. The increase was due
principally to a substantial increase in foreign sales, and a
slight increase in domestic sales.
Gross margins for the year were 62% in 1996 and 62% in
1995. Advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses were
$10,655,496, and 27% of sales, in 1996, and $13,332,216, and 36%
of sales, in 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$11,408,154, and 29% of sales in 1996, and $11,253,543, and 31%
of sales, in 1995.
Comparison of Results for Fiscal Years 1995 and 1994
The Company's sales decreased from $47,311,591 in fiscal
1994 to $37,166,731 in fiscal 1995, primarily due to a decrease
in sales of the Company's shampoo products.
Gross margins were 62% in 1995 and 64% in 1994.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses were
$13,332,216, and 36% of sales, in 1995, and $13,428,116, 28% of
sales, in 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$11,253,543, and 31% of sales, in 1995, and $11,817,462, and 25%
of sales, in 1994.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at November 30, 1996, the Company had working capital
of $9,070,115 as compared to $7,815,761 at November 30, 1995.
The ratio of total current assets to current liabilities was 2.82
to 1, as compared to a ratio of 2.09 to 1 for the prior year.
Stockholders' equity increased to $11,724,209, from $10,456,516.
-7-
The Company's cash position at year end increased to
$1,422,783 from $312,150 for the prior year. The increase came
mostly from net cash provided by operating activities of
approximately $485,000 and the net liquidation approximately of
$1,150,000 marketable securities. The Company also spent
approximately $407,000 in the acquisition of property and
equipment, and $37,000 for intangible assets.
Management adjusted its advertising budget in line with
its sales projections for fiscal 1996, reducing its advertising,
cooperative and promotional expenditures to $10,655,495 from
$13,332,216.
Sales increased $2,619,295, at a 62% gross profit
margin. The $1,620,000 net profit before taxes from the
increased sales, plus the reduction of $2,600,000 in advertising,
cooperative and promotional expenses, substantially accounts for
the turn around from a pre-tax loss of $2,230,524 in 1995, to
pre-tax profit of $1,914,626 in 1996.
The Company's selling general and administrative
expenses were substantially the same for both years. Inventories
were down $539,000, and accounts receivable were flat. Current
liabilities decreased $2,192,633. Cash at the beginning of the
year was $312,150, and increased to $1,422,783 at year end.
As of November 30, 1996, the Company had the remainder
of a term note from a banking institution in the amount of
$163,500 at prime rate, and a $3,000,000 line of credit at 1%
below prime. As at November 30, 1996, the Company was not
utilizing any of its availability under this credit line. The
Company has issued a security agreement in connection with the
bank financing.
Inventory, Seasonality, Inflation and General Economic Factors
The Company attempts to keep its inventory for every
product at levels that will enable shipment against orders within
a three week period. However, certain components must be
inventoried well in advance of actual orders because of time-to-
acquire circumstances. For the most part, purchases are based
upon projected quarterly requirements, which are projected based
upon sales indications received by the sales and marketing
departments, and general business factors. All of the Company's
contract-manufacture products and components are purchased from
non-affiliated entities. Warehousing is provided at Company
facilities, and all products are shipped from the Company's
warehouse facilities.
The Company does not believe that any of its products
are seasonal in nature other than its depilatory and diet brands,
which are more active during the Spring and Summer seasons. The
Company does not have a product that can be identified as a
"Christmas" item.
-8-
Because its products are sold to retail stores
(throughout the United States and, in small part, abroad), sales
are particularly affected by general economic conditions.
Accordingly, any adverse change in the economic climate can have
an adverse impact on the Company's sales and financial condition.
The Company does not believe that inflation or other general
economic circumstance that would negatively affect costs can be
predicted, but if unforeseeable such circumstances should occur,
they could have material and negative impact on the Company's net
sales and revenues, unless the Company were able to pass along
related cost increases to its customers.

iii. Executive Compensation Principles;
Audit and Compensation Committee
The Company's Executive Compensation Program is based on
guiding principles designed to align executive compensation with
Company values and objectives, business strategy, management
initiatives, and financial performance. In applying these
principles the Audit and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, comprised of David Edell, Ira W. Berman, Irwin
Gedinsky and Jack Polak, has established a program to:
-16-
* Reward executives for long-term strategic management and
the enhancement of shareholder value.
* Integrate compensation programs with both the Company's
annual and long-term strategic planning.
* Support a performance-oriented environment that rewards
performance not only with respect to Company goals but
also Company performance as compared to industry
performance levels.
iv. Employment Contracts/Compensation Program
The total compensation program consists of both cash and
equity based compensation. The Audit and Compensation Committee
(the "Committee") determines the level of salary and bonuses, if
any, for key executive officers other than Messrs. David Edell
and Ira Berman. The Committee determines the salary or salary
range based upon competitive norms. Actual salary changes are
based upon performance.
Bonuses (see the Summary Compensation Tables), other
than Mr. David Edell's and Mr. Berman's, were awarded in
consideration of the Company's performance during 1996.
On March 17, 1994, the Board of Directors approved 10-
year employment contracts for David Edell and Ira Berman (with
Mr. Edell and Mr. Berman abstaining). Pursuant thereto, each was
provided a base salary of $300,000 in fiscal 1994, with a year-
to-year CPI or 6% increment, and each is paid 2-1/2% of the
Company's pre-tax income, less depreciation and amortization,
plus 20% of the base salary, as bonus.
Long-term incentives are provided through the issuance
of stock options.
v. Stock Option Plans
The Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan covered 1,500,000
shares of its Common Stock.
The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan covered 1,500,000
shares of its Common Stock.
The Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan covers 1,000,000
shares of its Common Stock.
The 1994 Option Plan provides (as had the 1984 and 1986
plans) for the granting of two (2) types of options: "Incentive
Stock Options" and "Nonqualified Stock Options". The Incentive
Stock Options (but not the Nonqualified Stock Options) are
intended to qualify as "Incentive Stock Options" as defined in
Section 422(a) of The Internal Revenue Code. The Plans are not
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, nor subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.
-17-
Options may be granted under the Options Plans to
employees (including officers and directors who are also
employees) and consultants of the Company, provided, however,
that Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to any non-
employee director or consultant.
Option plans are administered and interpreted by the
Board of Directors. (Where issuance to a Board member is under
consideration, that member must abstain.) The Board has the
power, subject to plan provisions, to determine the persons to
whom and the dates on which options will be granted, the number
of shares subject to each option, the time or times during the
term of each when options may be exercised, and other terms. The
Board has the power to delegate administration to a Committee of
not less than two (2) Board members, each of whom must be
disinterested within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act, and ineligible to participate in the
option plan or in any other stock purchase, option or
appreciation right under plan of the Company or any affiliate.
Members of the Board receive no compensation for their services
in connection with the administration of option plans.
Option Plans permit the exercise of options for cash,
other property acceptable to the Board or pursuant to a deferred
payment arrangement. The 1994 Plan specifically authorizes that
payment may be made for stock issuable upon exercise by tender of
Common Stock of the Company; and the Executive Committee is
authorized to make loans to option exercisers to finance optionee
tax-consequences in respect of option exercise, but such loans
must be personally guaranteed and secured by the issued stock.
The maximum term of each option is ten (10) years. No
option granted is transferable by the optionee other than upon
death.
Under the plans, options will terminate there (3) months
after the optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or a
parent or subsidiary of the Company unless (i) the termination of
employment is due to such person's permanent and total
disability, in which case the option may, but need not, provide
that it may be exercised at any time within one (1) year of such
termination (to the extent the option was vested at the time of
such termination); or (ii) the optionee dies while employed by
the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company or within
three (3) months after termination of such employment, in which
case the option may, but need not provide that it may be
exercised (to the extent the option was vested at the time of the
optionee's death) within eighteen (18) months of the optionee's
death by the person or persons to whom the rights under such
option pass by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; or
(iii) the option by its terms specifically provides otherwise.
-18-
The exercise price of all nonqualified stock options
must be at least equal to 85% of the fair market value of the
underlying stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of all
Incentive Stock Options must be at least equal to the fair market
value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The
aggregate fair market value of stock of the Company (determined
at the date of the option grant) for which any employee may be
granted Incentive Stock Options in any calendar year may not
exceed $100,000, plus certain carryover allowances. The exercise
price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to any participant who
owns stock possessing more than ten (10%) of the voting rights of
the Company's outstanding capital stock must be at least 110% of
the fair market value on the date of grant and the maximum term
may not exceed five (5) years.
Consequences to the Company: There are no Federal income
tax consequences to the Company by reason of the grant or
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.
As at November 30, 1996, 1,242,000 stock options, yet
exercisable, to purchase 1,242,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, were outstanding.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
CCA Industries, Inc.
East Rutherford, New Jersey
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and related schedules
of CCA Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries listed in Item 14(a)(1) and (2) of the
annual report on Form 10-K of CCA Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries for the
years ended November 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and related schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain a reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
related schedules are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and related schedules. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CCA
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended
November 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
In our opinion, the schedules referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements,
the information set forth therein in compliance with the applicable accounting
regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on March 25, 1983.
The Company manufactures and distributes health and beauty aid
products.
The Company has several subsidiaries (CCA Cosmetics, Inc., CCA Labs,
Inc., CCA Industries (UK) Limited and Berdell, Inc.), all of which are
currently inactive.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated
financial statements include the use of estimates, which management
believes are reasonable.
Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:
Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of corporate and
government bonds and equity securities. In 1994 the Company adopted
the accounting principles promulgated by SFAS No. 115 Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt 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. Prior to 1994, the Company reported marketable
securities at the lower of cost or market value; unrealized losses were
charged to earnings.
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.
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.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - 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; organization
expenses are amortized on the straight-line method over five (5) years.
Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered financial
instruments under SFAS Note #107 approximate their respective fair value.
Tax Credits:
Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-through
method as a reduction of income taxes in the years utilized.
Income Per Common Share:
Income per common share has been computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods based
on the treasury stock method using average market price.
Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are either
anti-dilutive or result in dilution of less than 3%.

expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising
programs. Any necessary accrual or deferral is accordingly reflected in the
balance sheet for the interim period. However, for annual reporting
purposes, no advertising or related costs are capitalized and all are
expensed in the fiscal year in which they are incurred.

were liquidated and proceeds amounting to $2,253,778 were received,

NOTE 7 - PREPAID ROYALTY EXPENSE (DEFERRED)
On March 3, 1986, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Alleghany Pharmacal Corporation ("Alleghany") under
the terms of which the Company was granted the exclusive right to use
the licensed products and trademarks for the manufacture and distribution
of the products subject to the license. Under the terms of the Agreement,
on July 5, 1986, the Company paid to Alleghany a non-refundable advance
payment of $1,015,000. The license runs for an indeterminate period. An
additional $525,000 non-refundable advance payment was paid to
Alleghany on July 5, 1987.
From the period March 3, 1986 to June 3, 1986, the Company was
required to pay a 7% royalty on all net sales. Thereafter, it is required
to pay a 6% royalty on net sales but no less than $360,000 per annum to
maintain its license. After the sum of $9,000,000 in royalties has been
paid to Alleghany, the royalty is reduced to 1% of net sales. The
Company has expanded the lines licensed from Alleghany and pays only
1% royalty on various new products created by the Company. As of
November 30, 1996, $5,082,202 of royalties have been paid or accrued
and only $3,917,798 still remains until the $9,000,000 level is reached.
As of November 30, 1996, all of the advance payments have been
