NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operat
ing results for the three month period ended February 28, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended November 30, 1999. For further information, refer to the consoli-
dated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30,
1998.
NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CCA Industries, Inc. ("CCA") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
March 25, 1983.
CCA manufactures and distributes health and beauty aid products.
CCA has several wholly-owned subsidiaries (CCA Cosmetics, Inc., CCA Labs,
Inc., Berdell, Inc., and Nutra Care Corporation), all of which are currently
inactive.
In March of 1998 CCA acquired 80% of the newly organized Fragrance
Corporation of America, Ltd. which manufactures and distributes perfume
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
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates:
The consolidated financial statements include the use of estimates, which
management believes are reasonable. The process of preparing financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of
assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate
to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial state
ments. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from
estimated amounts.
Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:
Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of corporate and
government bonds and equity securities. The Company has classified its
investments as Available-for-Sale securities. Accordingly, such investments
are reported at fair market value, with the resultant unrealized gains and
losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Statements of Cash Flows Disclosure:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than
three months to be cash equivalents.
During fiscal 1998, two officers/shareholders exercised in the aggregate
70,000 options in exchange for 16,470 shares previously issued common
stock. The common shares were put into treasury and were subsequently
cancelled.
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 ob-
solescence is determined.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company charges to
expense repairs and maintenance items, while major improvements and
betterments are capitalized. When the Company sells or otherwise disposes
of property and equipment items, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss
is included in earnings.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets:
Machinery and equipment 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. Goodwill represents
the excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is
amortized over 60 months.
Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered financial instru-
ments approximate their respective fair value.
Income Taxes:
Income tax expense includes federal and state taxes currently payable and
deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for
financial reporting and income tax purposes.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Tax Credits:
Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-through method
as a reduction of income taxes in the years utilized.
Earnings Per Common Share:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" in 1998. Basic earnings per share
is calculated using the average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the
basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect
of outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock method" and
convertible debentures using the "if-converted" method. Common stock
equivalents consist of stock options.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes sales at the time delivery occurs. Although no
legal right of return exists between the customer and the Company, it is an
industry-wide practice to accept returns from customers. The Company,
therefore, records a reserve for returns equal to its gross profit on its
historical percentage of returns on its last five months sales.
Comprehensive Income:
The Company adopted SFAS #130, Comprehensive Income, which considers
the Company's financial performance in that it includes all changes in
equity during the period from transactions and events from non-owner
sources.

Amortization expense for the three months ended February 28, 1999
amounted $16,434 and for the year ended November 30, 1998 amounted
to $23,417.
NOTE 7 - DEFERRED ADVERTISING
In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company
expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising
programs. Consequently a deferral of $437,146 is accordingly reflected in
the balance sheet for the interim period. This deferral is the result of
the Company's $5,000,000 media budget for the year which contemplates
lower spending in the 4th quarter than in the other three quarters; as well
as the Company's Co-op advertising commitments which also anticipates a
lower expenditure in the 4th quarter.
The table below sets forth the calculation:
February February
1999 1998

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 11 - IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
Based on a 1998 assessment, the Company determined that it has to
substantially modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter. The Company presently believes that with these modifications
to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue
will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems.
However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not
completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Company.
The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its significant
service providers and suppliers, including its clearing broker, to determine
the extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to those
third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. The
Company's estimate to complete includes the estimated time associated with
the impact of third party's Year 2000 Issues based on presently available
information. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted
and would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems.
The Company does not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material
effect on any of the embedded technology in its manufacturing, warehousing
or distribution equipment.
The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram,
or replace, and test the software for Year 2000 modifications.
The Company believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications in a
timely fashion based on management's best estimate, which was derived
utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other
factors. However, there can be no guarantee that this estimate will be
achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are
not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area,
the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar
uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 11 - IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (Continued)
The cost of addressing the Company's Year 2000 issues is expected to be
approximately $400,000 to $500,000. However, approximately $130,000
of these costs should be offset by a grant obtained from the State of New
Jersey to help pay for the retraining of the Company's staff. The net cost
should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash flow or
financial position. It could possibly, however adversely effect the Company's
earnings in the year the majority of costs are incurred. The Company is
executing its Year 2000 plan through its own employees as well as various
computer consultants and vendors. The Year 2000 testing and reprogram
ming is being done in conjunction with other ongoing maintenance and
reprogramming efforts.
The Company has a contingency plan in place in the event their Year 2000
issue is not resolved timely.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the three month period ended February 28, 1999, the Company had revenues
of $9,786,738 and net income of $61,061 (net of consolidated subsidiary's
interest of $10,600) after a provision for income taxes of $76,712, as compared
to net revenues of $9,438,685 and net income of $375,955 after a provision for
income taxes of $232,548 for the three month period ended February 28, 1998.
Sales for the three months ended February 28, 1998 were up approximately
$400,000 primarily due to the sales of the Company's new subsidiary, Fragrance
Corporation of America, Inc. (FCA),whose sales consist of newly licensed per-
fumes. FCA's net sales for the three months were $1.09 million. Sales returns
continue to run approximately 7% to 8% of gross sales. Other income ($41,000
vs. $86,000) was less due to the decrease in the Company's interest income due
to their use of cash in the formation of FCA. Gross margins of 59% for the
three months were down from the 61.5% of the prior year. This was primarily
due to the lower gross profit margins on FCA's sales during its initial few
months of selling. Gross margins are expected to improve in the future.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures decreased
during the three month period from $2,160,785 to $2,070,072. Advertising ex-
penditures were 21% of sales for the three months ended February 28, 1999 as
compared with 23% for the period ended February 28, 1998. As part of the
registrant's business it is necessary to enter into co-operative advertising
agreements and other promotional activities with its accounts, especially upon
the introduction of a new product. Both co-op advertising and promotions have
a material effect on the Company's operations. If the advertising and
promotions are successful, revenues will be increased accordingly. Should the
co-op and promotions not be successful, it will have a negative impact on the
Company's promotional cost per sale, and have a negative effect on income. The
Company attempts to anticipate its advertising and promotional commitments as a
percent of gross sales in order to attempt to control its effect on its net
income. In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company
expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising programs.
Consequently a deferral of $437,146 is accordingly reflected in
the balance sheet for the interim period, as compared to $583,787 at February
28, 1998. This deferral is the result of the Company's $5 million media budget
for the year which contemplates lower spending in the 4th quarter than in the
other three quarters; as well as the Company's co-op advertising commitments
which also anticipates lower expenditures in the 4th quarter. Specifically,
the Company spent approximately $1.41 million in the three months on media
advertising and, therefore, expensed $1.25 million and deferred $.16 million
as of February 28, 1999. Similarly, as of February 28, 1999, the Company's
co-op advertising commitments for the year ended November 30, 1999
are anticipated to be approximately $3 million of which approximately $1.03
million was spent in the first three months resulting in an expense of $.75
million and a deferral of
Comparatively as of February 28, 1998, the Company had anticipated media
advertising expense in fiscal year 1997 of $5 million and spent approximately
$1.6 million in the first three months resulting in a deferral of approximately
$.36 million. The anticipated Co-op commitments as of February 28, 1998 were
$3 million for the year of which $.97 million were spent for the three months
resulting in a $.22 million deferral.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased compared to
the prior year. The increase to $3,340,813 from $2,885,466 was due mostly to
the "SG&A" expenses ($353,000) incurred by the Company's newly formed sub-
sidiary.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
Research and development expenses for the three months were less due to the
economies of utilizing the services of more in-house staff rather than outside
consultants.
Bad debt expense for the periods decreased due to the fluctuation in the
necessary reserves on the changes in accounts receivable between the
respective period and the quarter just prior to it. Actual write-offs were
approximately $4,000 in 1999 as compared to none in 1998. The Company's
interest expense increased to $35,000 from nothing due to the borrowing caused
by the use of cash to start up the FCA business.
The Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food chains and mass
merchandisers.
The Company's financial position as at February 28, 1999 consists of current
assets of $21,920,149 and current liabilities of $9,723,727. The Company's
cash position decreased due to the significant increase in its accounts
receivable primarily caused by the sales of its new subsidiary as well as a
slight increase in its own receivables. The Company's accounts payable also
increased due to FCA's new business. During the three month period ended
February 28, 1999, shareholders' equity increased from $15,591,651 at November
30, 1998 to $15,635,094 at February 28, 1999. This was due primarily to the
net income generated for the period.
During the three months, the Company used $1,550,000 in operations, generated
$1,600,000 from new borrowings, and used approximately $335,000 to purchase
assets and investments. These factors resulted in a net decrease in the
Company's cash of about $300,000.
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.
Based on a 1998 assessment, the Company determined that it has to sub-
stantially modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter. The Company presently believes that with these modifications to
existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will
not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However,
if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed
timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Company.
