NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial state-
ments have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted ac-
counting principles for interim financial information and with the instruc-
tions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine month period ended August 31, 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., Nutra Care Corporation, and CCA Online Industries,
Inc.), all of which are currently inactive.
In March of 1998 CCA acquired 80% of the newly organized Fragrance
Corporation of America, Ltd., ("FCA"), which manufactures and distributes
perfume products.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, CCA adopted a formal plan to
dispose of the intangible assets and substantially all of the inventory of
FCA. CCA anticipates the disposal to be completed by the last quarter of
fiscal 2000. As a result, inventory has been written down to expected net
realizable value. In addition, CCA has written off intangible assets
associated with the acquisition of and advances to FCA. The previous
periods financial statements have been restated to give effect to the
discontinued operations.
Components of discontinued operations consist of:

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
statements. 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.
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 obsoles
cence is determined.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - 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. Intangible assets represents the
excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is
amortized over 60 months. Patents and trademarks are amortized on the
straight-line method over a period of 17 years.
Income Taxes:
Income tax expense includes federal and state taxes currently payable and
deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for
financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Tax Credits:
Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-through
method as a reduction of income taxes in the years utilized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.

amounted to $23,417. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company wrote off $66,875 of accumulated amortization associated with
the disposal of FCA. (See Note 2).
In March 1998, the Company acquired, through its newly formed 80%
owned subsidiary, FCA, certain intangibles (consisting of trademarks,
licenses, customer lists, know-how, etc.) from Shiara, Inc. as well as
certain inventory. The costs incurred to date ($529,739) with regard to the
acquisition, in excess of the fair market of the inventory obtained, had
been recorded as intangible assets on FCA's books but has consequently been
written off in full in conjunction with the discontinuance of FCA's perfume
lines. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company wrote off
$66,875 of accumulated amortization associated with the disposal of FCA.

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 $1,551,113 is accordingly reflected
in the balance sheet for the interim period. This deferral is the result of
the Company's $5,300,000 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the nine month period ended August 31, 1999, the Company adopted a
plan for substantially discontinuing operations of its fragrance subsidiary
company, Fragrance Corporation of America, Ltd. As a one time loss, it wrote
off $1,476,226 primarily consisting of intangible assets and substantially all
of the inventory of its subsidiary and incurred $919,052 of losses from dis-
continued operations resulting in a net after taxes charge to income of
$1,451,509.
For the nine month period for the continuing operations, the Company had
revenues of $28,585,680 and net income of $612,018 after a provision for income
taxes of $290,648, as compared to revenues of $29,704,565 and net income of
$1,601,711 after a provision for income taxes of $1,004,141.
Net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 of $28,398,978 were
down approximately $1,050,000 from the 1998 sales for nine months of
$29,449,621. Sales returns continue to run approximately 8% of gross sales.
Other income of $186,702 versus $254,944 was less due to the decrease in the
company's interest income due to their use of cash in financing FCA. Gross
margins of 61% for the nine months were down from 62.8% from the prior year.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures decreased
during the nine month period from $6,748,631 to $6,636,603. Advertising
expenditures were 23.4% of sales for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 as
compared with 23% for the period ended August 31, 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 pro-
motions 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 $1,551,113 is accordingly reflected in the balance
sheet for the interim period, as compared to $1,575,814 at August 31, 1998.
This deferral is the result of the Company's $5.3 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 $4.71 million in the nine months on media adver-
tising and, therefore, expensed $3.98 million and deferred $.73 million as of
August 31,1999. Similarly, as of August 31, 1999, the Company's co-op
advertising commitments for the year ended November 30, 1999 are anticipated
to be approximately $3.3 million of which approximately $3.3 million was spent
in the first nine months resulting in an expense of $2.48 million and a
deferral of approximately $.82 million as of August 31, 1999.
Comparatively as of August 31, 1998, the Company had anticipated media
advertising expense in fiscal year 1998 of $5.5 million and spent approximately
$5.25 million in the first nine months resulting in a deferral of approximately
$1.12 million. The anticipated Co-op commitments as of August 31, 1998 were
$3.1 million for the year of which $2.78 million were spent for the nine months
resulting in a $.45 million deferral.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased compared to
the prior year. The increase to $9,509,870 from $8,855,642 was due mostly to
the cost of improving the software programs to comply with the Y2K issues, the
introduction of a website and additional sales promotions and warehouse.
For the three month period ended August 31, 1999, net sales were $8,631,951
as compared to $9,774,723 for August 31, 1998. Income for the quarter before
taxes decreased to $134,298 from $553,948. Gross margins of approximately
60% for the three months ended August 31, 1999 were down from 65% in 1998.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expense during the quarter
decreased to $1,851,391 from $2,683,437. Advertising expenses were 21.45%
of sales for the quarter in 1999 as compared to 27.45% in 1998. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately 36.5% in the current
quarter as compared to 31.2% in 1998.
Research and development expenses for the three and nine 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 reduction in reserves
on the decreasing accounts receivable. Actual write-offs were approximately
$42,000 in 1999 as compared to none in 1998. The Company's interest expense
of $108,626, all of which was attributable to its discontinued operations, was
up from $4,305 for the prior year period.
The Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food chains and mass
merchandisers.
The Company's financial position as at August 31, 1999 consists of current
assets of $20,045,082 and current liabilities of $8,106,542. The Company's
cash position increased due mostly to the liquidation of some of its marketable
securities. The Company's accounts payable decreased by $53,425. During the
nine month period ended August 31, 1999, shareholders' equity decreased from
$15,591,651 at November 30, 1998 to $14,665,544 at August 31, 1999. This was
due primarily to the net loss generated for the period.
During the nine months, the Company used $513,000 in operations, $454,000
to pay for costs incurred relating to the acquisition of Shiara Inc's assets
in excess of their fair market value and $118,000 to purchase new fixed assets;
and generated, $350,000 from new borrowings and approximately $1,037,000 from
the net liquidations of securities. These factors resulted in a net increase
in the Company's cash of about $294,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
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, in-
cluding, 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 had 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
thereeafter. 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.
The cost of addressing the Company's Year 2000 issues is expected to be
approximately $400,000 to $500,000. However, some of these costs should be
offset by a grant received 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 pos-
sibly, 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 reprogramming 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.
