NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ending August 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ended November 30, 2018. 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, 2017. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring 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.

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”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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 (“GAAP”), requires management to make 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. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be most critical to the financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgment and uncertainties. All of these estimates and assumptions reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects on the information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts. The accounts receivable balance is further reduced by allowance for cooperative advertising and reserves for returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2018. The reserve for returns may include specific reserves based on individual customer circumstances. The allowances and reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. 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 collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 (weighted average) or net realizable value. Product returns deemed saleable are recorded in inventory when they are received at the lower of their original cost or net realizable value, 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 utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets, whichever is shorter:



Computer equipment	5 -7 Years
Furniture and fixtures	3-10 Years
Tools, dies and masters	3 Years
Leasehold improvements	Remaining life of the lease (2 years, 4 months)

Intangible Assets:

Intangible assets, which consist of patents and trademarks, are stated at cost. Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Patents are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Trademarks are indefinite lived intangible assets and are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment conditions occur.

Long-Lived Assets:

Long-lived assets are assets in which the Company has an economic benefit for longer than twelve months from the date of the financial statements. Long-lived assets include property and equipment, intangible assets, deferred financing fees, deferred income taxes and other assets. The Company evaluates impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. If the review indicates that the carrying value of an asset will not be recoverable, based on a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows, the impairment will be measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. Fair value will be determined based on discounted cash flows or appraisals. Impairments are recorded in the statement of operations as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Revenue Recognition: (See also Cooperative Advertising)

The Company recognizes sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales comprise gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts, customer allowances and various sales incentives. Included in sales incentives are coupons that the Company issues that are redeemed by its customers. Redemptions are handled by a coupon national clearing house. The Company also has estimated that there is an approximate six week lag in coupon redemptions, with the estimated cost recorded as an accrued liability. Although no legal right of return exists between the customer and the Company, returns, including return of unsold products, are accepted if it is in the best interests of the Company's relationship with the customer. The Company, therefore, records a reserve for returns based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the three preceding months and specific reserve based on customer circumstances and product circumstances. Those returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2018 are offset against the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

accounts receivable. The reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. Changes in the estimated coupon reserve and sales return reserve are recorded to Sales of health and beauty aid products - net, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Cooperative Advertising:

Cooperative advertising is accrued based on a combination of new contracts given to the customers in the current fiscal year, along with liabilities open from prior years. Specific new contracts in the current fiscal year are identified as sales incentives (see sales incentives) and those contracts reduce revenues for the current period. The balances for all years open are reduced throughout the year by either the customer advertising and submitting the proof according to the contract or by customer post audit adjustments that finalize any amount due. Any item open more than three years is closed unless management believes that a deduction may still be taken by the customer. The portion of cooperative advertising recorded as sales incentives was reduced by $133,755 and $401,350, respectively, in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018 to reduce open cooperative advertising contracts for 2015 for events that have been finalized. There were reductions of $204,527 and $613,723, respectively, for open cooperative advertising contracts that were finalized during the three and nine month periods ending August 31, 2018. The balance of the remaining open cooperative advertising is allocated between accrued liabilities and the allowance for cooperative advertising based on the customer's open accounts receivable balance.

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. These accounting adjustments do not affect net income.

Shipping Costs:

The Company’s policy for financial reporting is to charge shipping costs as part of selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Shipping costs included for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $217,265 and $93,566, respectively. Shipping costs included for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $520,650 and $271,810, respectively.

Advertising Costs:

The Company’s policy for financial reporting is to charge advertising cost to expense as incurred. Advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $816,117 and $738,635, respectively. Advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $1,671,605 and $1,681,999, respectively.

Research and Development Costs:

The Company's policy for financial reporting is to charge research and development costs to expense as incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $16,426 and $16,811, respectively. Research and development costs for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $45,819 and $44,143, respectively.

Income Taxes:

Income taxes are accounted for under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which utilizes the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded on the Company’s financial statements and the carrying amounts as reflected on the Company’s income tax return. In addition, the portion of charitable contributions that cannot be deducted in the current period and are carried forward to future periods are also reflected in the deferred tax assets. A substantial portion of the deferred tax asset is due to the losses incurred in fiscal 2015 and prior years, the benefit of which will be carried forward into future tax years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued using the tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management has

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

estimated that it will utilize the entire deferred tax asset in future years based on anticipated future profitability. However, anticipated future profitability may be impacted if the Company’s sales decrease from current levels or due to other factors discussed under Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as supplemented in this Form 10-Q. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, in accordance with ASU 2015-17, all deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recorded as long-term. Previously, the portion that management expected to utilize in the twelve months following the end of the period was recorded as a short-term asset, and the portion that management expected to utilize in periods beyond the twelve months was recorded as a long-term asset. The Company reclassified $2,079,988 that was originally recorded as a current asset as of November 30, 2017 to non-current in conformity with the requirement to report the changes required by ASU 2015-17 on a retrospective basis.

The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, “Uncertain Tax Positions.” Management believes that there were no unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that would result in uncertainty regarding the deductions taken, as of August 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

(Loss) Earnings Per Common Share:

Basic (loss) earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of any common stock equivalents using the “treasury stock method”. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and warrants.

Stock Options:

ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” requires stock grants to employees to be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company issued stock options in fiscal 2018 and 2017; see Note 12 for details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which updated Topic 718 to include share based compensation issued to non-employees. The Company previously issued non-qualified stock option awards to its directors. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the implementation of ASU No. 2018-07 will have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While we are still evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements, we expect that upon adoption we will recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and that the amounts could be material.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The underlying principle of this new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

goods or services. Entities may adopt this new standard either retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements (i.e., the full retrospective method) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (i.e., the modified retrospective method), without applying to comparative years’ financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which changed the effective date for implementation to annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company does not plan to adopt ASU 2014-09 until its 2019 fiscal year which begins on December 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures and will provide further updates in future periods.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements, other than any that were disclosed in prior Company filings with the SEC.

NOTE 8 - DEBT AGREEMENT

On December 4, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), CCA Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),

entered into the Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SCM Specialty Finance Opportunities

Funds, L.P., an affiliate of CNH Finance, L.P. The Credit Agreement provides for a line of credit up to a maximum of $5,500,000 (the “Revolving Loan”). The proceeds of the Revolving Loans were used to pay off the Company's existing debt with Capital Preservation Solutions, LLC and for general working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Loan bore interest at the 30

day LIBOR rate plus 6% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. The Company was also required to pay a monthly unused line fee and collateral management fee. The commitment under the Credit Agreement would have expired three years after the Closing Date. The Revolving Loan and all other amounts due and owing under the Credit Agreement

and related documents were secured by a first priority perfected security interest in, and lien on, substantially all of the assets of the Company. Amounts available for borrowing under the Line of Credit equaled the lesser of the Borrowing Base (as defined below), and $5,500,000, in each case, as the same is reduced by the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Line of Credit. “Borrowing Base” under the Loan Agreement means, generally, the amount equal to (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 65% of the value of eligible inventory, less (iii) certain reserves. The Credit Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and covenants on the part of the Company, including a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement imposed an early termination fee and also provides for events of default, including failure to repay principal and interest when due and failure to perform or violation of the provisions or covenants of the agreement. The Company repaid the Revolving Loan in full on February 5, 2018 and terminated the Credit Agreement. The Company paid an early termination charge of $55,000 as provided by the Credit Agreement.

On February 5, 2018 the Company entered into the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"). The 2018 Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in an amount of $1,500,000 (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving line of credit up to a maximum of $4,500,000 (the “2018 Revolving Loan” and together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”). The proceeds of the Loans were used to

pay off the Company's existing debt with CNH Finance Fund I, L.P., formerly known as SCM Specialty Finance Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“CNH”), and for general working capital purposes. The Term Loan is payable in consecutive monthly installments of $31,250 commencing March 1, 2018 and bears interest, at the election of the Company, at either the PNC base rate plus 1% or 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR rate plus 3.50%. All outstanding amounts under the 2018 Revolving Loan bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the PNC base rate plus 0.25% or 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR rate plus 2.75%, payable monthly in arrears. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly unused line fee and collateral management fee. The commitment under the 2018 Credit Agreement expires three years after the Closing Date. The Loans and all other amounts due and owing under the 2018 Credit Agreement and related documents are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in, and lien on, substantially all of the assets of the Company. Amounts available for borrowing under the Revolving Loan equal the lesser of the Borrowing Base (as defined below), and $4,500,000, in each case, as the same is reduced by the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Loan. “Borrowing Base” under the Credit Agreement means, generally, the amount equal to (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 65% of the value of eligible inventory, less (iii) certain reserves. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants on the part of the Company, including a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.0. Due to the Company's loss in the second and third quarter of fiscal 2018, the fixed charge coverage ratio was less than the amount provided for in the covenant. PNC has waived the fixed charge ratio covenant for the second and third quarter of fiscal 2018. The 2018 Credit Agreement also provides for events of default, including failure to repay principal and interest when due and failure to perform or violation of the provisions or covenants of the agreement, as a result of which amounts due under the 2018 Credit Agreement may be accelerated. On the Closing Date, the Company borrowed the entire $1,500,000 Term Loan. These amounts were used, in part, to pay off the total amount due under the Company's Credit and Security Agreement with CNH . The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on February 8, 2018.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

CCA and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.

The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, Uncertain Tax Positions. Management believes that there were no unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that would result in uncertainty regarding the deductions taken, as of August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

As a result of the enactment by the United States Government of public law 115-97, an Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018 (formerly known as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017), federal corporate tax rates for periods beginning after January 1, 2018 have been reduced to 21%. The Company's federal rate was previously 34%. The Company values its deferred tax assets and liabilities using the tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company, prior to the enactment of public law 115-97, had valued its deferred tax assets and liabilities at a combined federal and state tax rate of 36.45%. Due to the corporate tax rate change, the Company determined that its deferred tax assets and liabilities should be valued based on an estimated future tax rate of 24.13%, effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of public law 115-97. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of public law 115-97 is incomplete but is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. The change in rate caused the Company to record an additional tax expense as part of the provision for income tax in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In addition, ASU 2015-17 is effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2018 which requires that all deferred tax assets be classified as long-term. The Company as of November 30, 2017 had $2,079,988 of deferred tax assets that were recorded as a current asset. This amount has been retrospectively reclassified as a non-current asset as of November 30, 2017.

The following chart shows the calculation of the previous tax rate and the new tax rate:



	Previous Rate		New Rate
Federal rate	34.00	%	21.00	%
State rate, net of federal tax benefit	2.45	%	3.13	%
Total	36.45	%	24.13	%

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A portion of the loss carry forward deferred tax asset was valued at a slightly higher blended rate of 25.19%, due to the tax law taking effect on January 1, 2018.

The deferred compensation amount is from the issuance of stock options (see Note 12 - Stock-Based Compensation), and will be realized in future years if the options are exercised.

At August 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively, the Company had temporary differences arising from the following:

NOTE 12 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On June 15, 2005, the shareholders approved an amended and Restated Stock Option Plan amending the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to one million shares of common stock (subject to customary adjustments set forth in the plan) pursuant to equity awards, which may take the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options restricted shares, stock appreciation rights and/or performance shares. The 2005 Plan expired in April, 2015, but awards made under the 2005 Plan prior to its expiration will remain in effect until such awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the 2005 Plan. On August 13, 2015, the shareholders approved the 2015 CCA Industries, Inc. Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"). The 2015 Plan authorized the issuance of up to 700,000 shares of common stock (subject to customary adjustments set forth in the plan) pursuant to equity awards, which may take the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares and cash awards. On June 7, 2017, the shareholders approved the 2015 CCA Industries, Inc. Incentive Plan as Amended. The sole purpose of the amendment was to increase the shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan from 700,000 to 1,400,000.

The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, which requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the financial statements.

The Company recorded a charge against earnings in the amount of $108,295 and $48,392, respectively, for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 and $194,458 and $126,863, respectively, for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 for all outstanding stock options granted.

On June 20, 2018, the Company granted incentive stock options for an aggregate of 270,000 shares to fourteen employees of the Company at $2.85 per share, which was the closing price of the Company's stock on that day. The options vest in equal 20% increments beginning one year after the date of grant, and for each of the four subsequent anniversaries of such date. The options expire on June 19, 2028. The Company had estimated the fair value of the options granted to be $398,169 as of the grant date.

On June 20, 2018, the Company granted non-qualified stock options for an aggregate of 150,000 shares to two directors of the Company at $2.85 per share, which was the closing price of the Company's stock on that day.

The Company had estimated the fair value of the options granted to be $11,692 as of the grant date.

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated on the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model and the assumptions in the following table:



	Assumptions:
Option Grant Date	Risk-free Interest Rate		Dividend Yield		Stock Volatility		Option Term (years)
June 20, 2018	2.80	%	—	%	37.14	%	10

Overview

For the three months ended August 31, 2018, the company had a net loss of $203,672, and losses per share, basic and fully diluted of $0.03 as compared to net income of $377,683, and earnings per share, basic and fully diluted of $0.05 for the same period in fiscal 2017. For the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $3,716,652 and net income of $1,262,984, respectively, and losses per share, basic and fully of $0.51 and earnings per share of $0.18, respectively.

The Company had a number of factors that affected its earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2018:


▪	The first nine months of fiscal 2018 was impacted by an additional accounts receivable reserve of $479,052 due to a dispute with an international customer. This additional reserve was recorded as a reduction of net sales in the second quarter. The Company does not believe that it will recover the accounts receivable in dispute.

▪

Due to changes in the tax law that were enacted effective January 1, 2018, the Company's tax rate decreased from 36.45% to 24.13% resulting in the Company revaluing its deferred tax assets. The change in the tax rate resulted in the Company recording an additional tax expense of $3,150,146 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This tax expense is a non-cash item and will not have any effect on the Company's current cash flow.

▪

The Company moved its master broker sales representation to Advantage Sales and Marketing ("Advantage"), effective January 15, 2018. The Company believes that this change will allow the Company in the 2019 fiscal year to regain distribution that was lost over the past four years and lead to better implementation of its co-operative advertising programs with retailers. However, the move did result in decreased order fulfillment during the month of January 2018. Order fulfillment went back to normal levels as of March 1, 2018.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

▪

In conjunction with the move to Advantage, the Company also moved its warehousing operations from Geodis Contract Logistics (formerly OHL) to Casestack, Inc., effective January 15, 2018. The Geodis warehouse was located in Plainfield, Indiana. The Casestack, Inc. warehouse is located outside of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Due to a shift in the mix of customers, shipping costs managed by Casestack have increased substantially as compared to fiscal 2017.


▪	Additional charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 due to moving its offices to a smaller facility in December 2017 and sub-leasing the old facility.


▪	Entering into a new credit agreement with PNC Bank, National Association on February 5, 2018, and paying off the balance of the Revolving Loan with CNH resulting in a write-off of $112,277, which was the balance of deferred financing fees incurred with the CNH facility and $55,000 for termination charges.

As of August 31, 2018, the Company had $7,267,189 in current assets and $5,746,413 in current liabilities.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended August 31, 2018

For the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company had total revenues of $4,224,832 and a net loss of $203,672 after a benefit from tax of $69,678. For the same three month period in 2017, total revenues were $5,334,368 and net income was $377,683 after a provision for tax of $354,816. The basic and fully diluted loss per share was $0.03 for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to earnings per share of $0.05 for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. In accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-S99, “Revenue Recognition,” 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 fiscal 2018 were reduced by $257,965, comprised of cooperative advertising recorded as sales incentives of $149,216, and coupons of $108,749. This amount was offset by an equal reduction of trade promotional expenses, which were included in the Company's advertising expenses. In the same period of the prior year, net sales were reduced by $401,721, comprised of cooperative advertising recorded as sales incentives of $403,370 and coupons of $(1,649). The $401,721 was offset by an equal reduction of trade promotional expenses, which were included in the Company's advertising expense. These accounting adjustments under ASC Topic 605-10-S99 do not affect net income. In the third quarter ended August 31, 2018, the Company wrote-off co-operative advertising contracts of $133,755, and in the same period in fiscal 2017 wrote-off $204,527. The Company records co-operative advertising expense as the commitments are made to its retail customers. There is a lag of up to three years before the retailers determine the final amounts due under the commitment. The adjustment made in the quarter ended August 31, 2018 was for write-offs to close out cooperative advertising contracts that had been finalized from fiscal year 2015 that the Company determined would not be utilized. The adjustment made in fiscal 2017 was to write-off open 2014 co-operative advertising contracts that were finalized. The write-off to close out cooperative advertising contracts results in a decrease to the Company's liabilities and an increase to net sales for the current period in which the adjustment is made.

The Company’s net sales of health and beauty aid products decreased $1,106,847 to $4,222,906 for the three months ended August 31, 2018 from $5,329,753 for the three months ended August 31, 2017, a decrease of 20.8%. Sales returns and allowances, not including sales incentives, were 5.6% of gross sales or $259,555 for the three months ended August 31, 2018 as compared to 4.3% or $247,268 for the same period last year. Sales returns were higher due to returns in the ordinary course of business. Sales incentives consists of co-operative advertising with the Company’s retail partners and coupons. Sales incentives were $257,965, in the third quarter 2018 as compared to $401,721 for the same period in 2017, a decrease of $143,756. The cost of the coupons issued by the Company was $108,749 for the third quarter 2018 as compared to $1,649 for the same period in 2017. The Company uses a national clearing house for the receipt and processing of coupons from our retail partners. The national clearing house renders invoices to the Company on a weekly basis for coupons that they have processed which are recorded as an expense in the period for which the invoice is dated. The Company also records an expense accrual at the end of each period equal to the prior six weeks of invoices

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rendered based on information from the national clearing house that there is an average lag time of six weeks between the time that the retailer receives the coupon and when the Company receives the invoice. The amount recorded as an expense or an accrual includes the retailer cost of the coupon in addition to any processing charges by the national coupon clearing house. Coupons are issued by the Company to be used with the purchase of specific products, with an expiration date noted on the coupon.

The gross margin percentage for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 decreased to 59.8%, as compared to 61.5% for the same period in 2017.

•

Rent costs increased approximately $84,991 in the nine months ended August 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. Rent costs increased due to the move of the Company's offices from 65 Challenger Road, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey to smaller offices at 1099 Wall Street West, Lyndhurst, New Jersey. The Ridgefield Park office was sub-let. The move and sub-let resulted in the following charges:


◦	An expense of $94,992 for the difference between the rent due under the Ridgefield Park office master lease and the sub-let, over the course of the balance of the lease term. Accounting rules require this to be accrued at the time of the sub-let, and then amortized over the remaining life of the lease.


◦	Real estate commissions of $24,420 for the sub-lease of the Ridgefield Park office.


•	Personnel costs increased approximately $117,114 in the nine months ended August 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017 due to the addition of sales and marketing positions.

•	Freight out expense increased approximately $248,840 in the nine months ended August 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The increase was due to less consolidation savings as a result of a change in the mix of customers. The Company is working to decrease its freight out expense.


•	Moving costs of $47,905 to move the finished goods inventory from the Company's former outsourced warehouse in Plainfield, Indiana to the current warehouse in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

The balance of the increase or decrease in expense comprised a number of smaller expense categories.

Advertising expense was $1,671,605 for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 as compared to $1,681,999 for the same period in fiscal 2017. The advertising expense decrease of $10,394 was due to lower media spend.

The income before provision for income tax was $2,145,894 for the nine months ended August 31, 2017, and the provision for income tax was $882,910. The large provision for income taxes for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 was due to changes in the tax law that were effective as of January 1, 2018 (see Note 11 - Income Taxes for further information on the effects of the new tax law).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

31, 2018, as compared to 0.9 to 1.0 as of November 30, 2017. The improvement in the Company's working capital was due to the 2018 Credit Agreement entered into with PNC, which provided for a term loan, classified as a non-current liability and a revolving line of credit, classified as a current liability (see Note 8 - Debt Agreement for further information). The Company is current with vendor payments. The Company’s cash position at August 31, 2018 was $463,952, as compared to $140,243 as of November 30, 2017. As of August 31, 2018, there were no dividends declared but not paid.

Accounts receivable as of August 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017 were $2,617,810 and $2,585,517, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable was due to higher gross sales for the preceding months. Included in net accounts receivable are an allowance for doubtful accounts, a reserve for returns and allowances and a reduction based on an estimate of cooperative advertising that will be taken as credit against payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $15,368 and $6,629 for August 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is a combination of specific and general reserve amounts relating to accounts receivable. The general reserve is calculated based on historical percentages applied to aged accounts receivable and the specific reserve is established and revised based on individual customer circumstances.

The reserve for returns and allowances is based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the three preceding months and a specific reserve based on customer circumstances and product lines. This allowance increased to $729,621 as of August 31, 2018 from $356,159 as of November 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a special returns reserves of $479,052 as a result of a dispute with an international customer. Of the total reserve amounts, allowances and reserves of $110,436 as of August 31, 2018, which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices, are included in accrued liabilities.

Gross receivables were further reduced by $156,302 as of August 31, 2018, which was reclassified from accrued liabilities, as an estimate of the co-operative advertising that will be taken as a credit against current accounts receivable balances. In addition, accrued liabilities include $933,477, which is an estimate of co-operative advertising expense which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices rather than current accounts receivable.

Inventories were $3,342,070 and $1,878,831, as of August 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, respectively. The inventory is marked down to the lower of cost or net realizable value based on a detailed analysis of the individual inventory items. Mark downs of the inventory are recorded as an increase to the cost of sales. The inventory increased due to new products that the Company will be selling in future quarters.

Prepaid expenses and sundry receivables increased to $815,573 as of August 31, 2018 from $642,000 as of November 30, 2017 in the normal course of business.

Prepaid and refundable income taxes decreased to $27,784 as of August 31, 2018, from $38,153 as of November 30, 2017.

All deferred taxes are now classified as non-current in conformity with ASU 2015-17. Net deferred income tax assets were $6,498,480 as of August 31, 2018 as compared to $9,502,319 as of November 30, 2017. The decrease was due to a revaluation of deferred tax assets as a result of changes in the tax law that were effective January 1, 2018 (see Note 11 - Income Taxes for further information on the tax changes).

The Company’s investment in property and equipment consisted mostly of leasehold improvements, office furniture and equipment, and computer hardware and software to accommodate our personnel in addition to tools and dies used in the manufacturing process.

Current liabilities at August 31, 2018 consisted of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, the outstanding balance on the Company's line of credit with PNC and the current portion of the term loan with PNC. As of August 31, 2018, there was $1,089,779 of open cooperative advertising commitments, of which $531,410 is from 2018, $235,141 is from 2017, $606,136 is from 2016, $133,751 from 2015 and a reduction

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of $416,659 for co-op claims which had not been processed yet as of August 31, 2018. Of the total amount of $1,089,779, $156,302 is reflected as a reduction of gross accounts receivables, and $933,477 is recorded as an accrued expense. Cooperative advertising is advertising that is run by the retailers in which the Company shares in part of the cost. If it becomes apparent that this cooperative advertising was not utilized, the unclaimed cooperative advertising will be offset against the expense during the fiscal year in which it is determined that it did not run. This procedure is consistent with the prior year’s methodology with regard to the accrual of unsupported cooperative advertising commitments.

The Company’s long-term obligations are long-term accrued liabilities, the term loan with PNC and a security deposit received from the sub-tenant of the Company's former facilities in East Rutherford, New Jersey and Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. The long-term accrued liabilities consist of the accrued sub-lease differential resulting from the sub-lease of the Company's former facilities.

Stockholders’ equity decreased to $7,811,480 as of August 31, 2018 from $9,907,193 as of November 30, 2017. The decrease was due to decreases in retained earnings as a result of the net loss in the first three quarters of fiscal 2018 partially offset by an increase in additional paid-in capital. The Company had previously issued a warrant to Capital Preservation Solutions, LLC who exercised 450,000 shares on February 5, 2018. This resulted in an increase to the common stock par value of $4,500 and an increase to additional paid-in capital of $1,422,000. The Company had issued stock options to the board of directors and employees during the current and prior fiscal years. The fair value of the stock option grants was estimated on the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. As a result, $194,458 was recorded as a deferred compensation expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and additional paid-in capital was increased by the same amount (See Note 12, Stock-Based Compensation for further information).

The Company's cash flow had $858,639 used in operating activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, as compared to $183,580 that was provided by operating activities during the same period in fiscal 2017. The change in cash flow from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017 was impacted by the following:


•	A loss of $3,716,652 in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to income of $1,262,984 for the same period in fiscal 2017.


•	There was a decrease in deferred tax assets of $3,003,838, most of which was recorded as an additional tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This expense did not affect the cash balance.


•	There was an increase in accounts receivable of $41,033 which utilized cash provided during the nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to an increase in accounts receivable of $1,503,021 during the nine months of fiscal 2017. The increase in accounts receivable was in the normal course of business and due to the increase in gross sales and receivable during the preceding months.


•	There was an increase in inventory of $1,463,238, utilizing cash, in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to a decrease in inventory of $170,838 during the same period in fiscal 2017. The Company increased inventory to bring in new products that will be introduced in future quarters.

•

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $1,157,596 during the first three quarters of fiscal 2018, providing cash, as compared to a decrease of $624,013 during the first three quarters of fiscal 2017. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was in the ordinary course of business and mainly consists of media invoices. The media invoices will be paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.


•	Pre-paid expenses and other receivables increased $173,573 during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase was due to a hold back of amounts owed to the Company as of August 31, 2018 from Emerson that are being held until January 15, 2020 to pay for any potential customer charge backs.

Net cash used by investing activities was $29,976 for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was primarily for the cost of computer related equipment and software, as well as a portion of tools and dies used in the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

manufacturing process, as compared to $39,507 during the same period in fiscal 2017. Net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $1,212,324 as compared to cash used of $116,338 for the same period in fiscal 2017. Included in financing activities was the refinancing of the Company's debt with PNC (See Note 8 - Debt Agreement for further information regarding the financing) and the exercise of a portion of the Company's warrant with Capital Preservation Solutions, LLC (see Note 14 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions for further information regarding the warrant).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet short-term and long-term business needs. We assess our liquidity in terms of our total cash flow and the amounts of cash, short-term and long-term marketable securities on hand. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:


•	Cash flow generated or used by operating activities


•	Inability to receive favorable credit terms from the Company's vendors


•	Large product returns from customers which are deducted from cash remittances

Our primary capital needs are working capital requirements for the purchase of inventory and to support increases in accounts receivable. As of August 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $463,952. The Company’s long term liabilities as of August 31, 2018 were long term accrued liabilities of $244,864, the outstanding balance on the Company's term loan with PNC of $937,500 and a security deposit received from the sub-tenants of the Company's former facilities of $168,859. The Company had borrowings against its line of credit of $619,679 as of August 31, 2018. The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to fund its operations over the next twelve months from the date of this filing.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter measured on a rolling four quarter basis. Although the Company was in compliance with this covenant as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant as of the end of the second and third quarters of fiscal 2018 due to the Company's losses in those quarters, which constituted events of default under the 2018 Credit Agreement Under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement, an event of default permits PNC to, among other things, terminate the agreement and accelerate any indebtedness outstanding thereunder. PNC waived compliance with the financial covenant for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2018. In addition, on October [19], 2018, the 2018 Credit Agreement was amended to reset the commencement date of the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant to begin with the fiscal quarter ending November 30, 2018. For the quarter ending November 30, 2018, the covenant will be tested only for the fiscal quarter then ending; for the quarter ending February 28, 2019, the covenant will be tested for the two fiscal quarter period then ending; and for the quarter ending May 31, 2019, the covenant will be tested for the three fiscal quarter period then ending. Thereafter, the covenant will be tested on a rolling four quarter basis.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our 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 (“GAAP”) requires management to make 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. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those management considers to be most critical to the financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgment and uncertainties. All of these estimates and assumptions reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects on the information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

An accounting estimate is deemed to be critical if it is reasonably possible that a subsequent correction could have a material effect on future operating results or financial condition. The following are estimates that management has deemed to be critical:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

1 - Reserve for Returns—The allowances and reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. The estimated reserve is based in part on historical returns as a percentage of gross sales. The current estimated return rate is 4.8% of gross sales. Management estimates that the returns received will be disposed of. Any changes in this accrued liability are recorded as a debit or credit to the reserve for returns and allowances account.

2 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate of the loss that could be incurred if our customers do not make required payments. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated by management for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Estimates are made based on specific disputes and additional reserves for bad debt based on the accounts receivable aging ranging from 0.35% for invoices currently due to 2.00% for invoices more than ninety-one days overdue. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables.

3 - Inventory – Management reviews the inventory records on a monthly basis. Management deems to be obsolete finished good items that are no longer being sold, and have no possibility of sale within the ensuing twelve months. Components and raw materials are deemed to be obsolete if management has no planned usage of those items within the ensuing twelve months. In addition, management conducts periodic testing of inventory to make sure that the value reflects the lower of cost or market. If the value is below market, a provision is made within inventory. Inventory is adjusted monthly, with changes recorded as part of cost of sales in the results of operations.

4 - Co-operative Advertising Reserve – The co-operative advertising reserve is an estimate of the amount of the liability for the co-operative advertising agreements with the Company’s customers. A portion of the reserve that is estimated to be deducted from future payments is a direct reduction of accounts receivable. The portion that the Company estimates to be deducted from future invoices rather than current accounts receivable is recorded as an accrued expense. Management reviews the co-operative advertising agreements for the current fiscal year with its customers on a monthly basis and adjusts them based on actual co-operative advertising events. The Company maintains an open liability for co-operative advertising contracts for which a customer has not claimed a deduction for the three years prior to the current fiscal year. Management evaluates the open liability for the prior three years on a monthly basis to determine if the liability continues to exist. Changes to the reserve are charged as a current period expense.

5 - Deferred Taxes - The deferred taxes are an estimate of the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded on the Company’s financial statements and the carrying amounts as reflected on the Company’s income tax return. In addition, the portion of charitable contributions that cannot be deducted in the current period and are carried forward to future periods are also reflected in the deferred tax assets. A substantial portion of the deferred tax asset is due to the loss incurred in fiscal 2015 and prior years, the benefit of which will be carried forward into future tax years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued using the tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management has estimated that it will utilize the entire deferred tax asset in future years based on anticipated future profitability. However, anticipated future profitability may be impacted if the Company’s sales decrease from current levels or due to other factors discussed under Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2018 for the year ended November 30, 2017.

6 - Income Taxes - The provision for income taxes is based on Management's estimate of the tax rates applicable to the Company for both federal and the various state jurisdictions that the Company files in. The Company has estimated a federal tax rate of 21% and a state rate, net of federal tax benefit of 3.13%, effective January 1, 2018. In addition, the Company has estimated a blended federal rate of 22.1% and a blended state rate, net of federal tax benefit of 3.08%. The blended rate has been applied to value the carry forward loss portion of the deferred tax asset that will be utilized during fiscal 2018. The estimated federal, state and blended rates

are Management's reasonable estimates and the actual rate could vary when the Company files its tax returns for the 2018 fiscal year.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to

disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of August 31, 2018 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended August 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control overall financial reporting.
