EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., April 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CCA Industries, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CAW) announced today its results for the first quarter ended February 28, 2013.

The Company reported total revenues for the first quarter ended February 28, 2013 of $11,799,649 and a net loss of $1,015,390 after an income tax benefit of $657,730. For the same period of 2012, the Company had revenues of $13,688,247 and net income of $87,534 after a provision for income taxes of $66,912. The basic and fully diluted loss per share for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.14 as compared to basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.01 for same period of 2012.

"The Company's net sales and earnings for the first quarter were impacted by returns of certain of the Company's Gel Perfect nail polish color promotions sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. In addition the introduction of a new weight loss product was not successful.  In early February 2013, Dunnan Edell who replaced me over two years ago as CEO tragically died of an unexpected heart attack. The majority of the board requested that until they could agree upon a replacement I temporally return as CEO, which I sadly accepted. I am now working with the Company's President Steve Heit and Drew Edell, Chief Operating Officer, to review our marketing strategies to regenerate the growth and profitability of all our brands as soon as possible. I believe we have sufficient working capital to achieve the aforementioned goals; and we are adding to the Company some new executives with proven marketing skills in our industry," stated David Edell, Chief Executive Officer.
