NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   
The accompanying unaudited 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. Operating results for the nine month period ended August 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2009. 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, 2008. 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 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
   
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 of America 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.
   
Other Comprehensive Income:
   
Total comprehensive income includes changes in equity that are excluded from the consolidated statement of operations and are recorded directly into a separate section of consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income shown on the consolidated balance sheet consist of unrealized gains and losses on investment holdings net of any tax consequence.
   
Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:
   
Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, 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, and on the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
   
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.
   
For the nine months ended August 31, 2009, dividends declared were $1,763,611 and dividends paid were in the amount of $2,045,789.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
   
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 allowances for coop advertising and reserves for returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2009. 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 collectibility based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade 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 (first-in, first-out) or market. Costs included in inventory are labor (including the cost of outside contract manufacturers), materials and allocated manufacturing overhead. Product returns that are resaleable are recorded in inventory when they are received at the lower of their original cost or market, as appropriate. Obsolete inventory is written off and its value is removed from inventory at the time its obsolescence is determined.
   
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. Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
   
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
  5-7 Years
Furniture and fixtures
  3-10 Years
Tools, dies and masters
  3 Years
Transportation equipment
  5 Years
Leasehold improvements
  Remaining life of the lease (approximately four years)

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
   
Intangible Assets:
   
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Such intangible assets are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
   
Web Site Costs:
   
Certain costs incurred in creating the graphics and content of the Company’s web site has been capitalized in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-02, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs”. The Company has determined that these costs will be amortized over a two year period. Web site design and conceptual costs are expensed as incurred.
   
Financial Instruments:
   
The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered financial instruments 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.
   
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:
   
Basic earning per share is calculated using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding common stock equivalents using the “treasury stock method” and convertible debentures using the “if-converted” method. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.
   
Reclassifications
   
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported income.

Revenue Recognition:
   
The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales comprise gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts, customer allowances and various sales incentives. 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. Those returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2009 are offset against the accounts receivable. The reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities.
   
Sales Incentives:
   
In accordance with EITF 01- 9, 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 under EITF 01-9 do not affect net income.
   
Advertising Costs:
   
The Company’s policy for fiscal financial reporting is to charge advertising cost to operations as incurred.
   
Shipping and Handling Costs:
   
The Company’s policy for fiscal financial reporting is to charge shipping costs as part of selling, general and administrative expense as incurred.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Accounting for Share-Based Compensation” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. Effective for annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005, SFAS No. 123R requires stock grants to employees to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
   
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 which amends SFAS No. 115 allows certain financial assets and liabilities to be recognized, at the Company’s election, at fair market value, with any gains or losses for the period recorded in the statement of income. SFAS No. 159 included available-for-sale securities in the assets eligible for this treatment. Currently, the Company records the gains or losses for the period in the statement of comprehensive income and in the equity section of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods in those fiscal years. The Company, at this time, has not elected to recognize any gains or losses for its available-for-sale securities in the statement of income, and accordingly there will be no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
   
In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 (“SAB 109”) which provides interpretive guidance regarding written derivative loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 109 is effective for fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
   
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, Share-Based Payment of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of that method for option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have sufficient historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue the use of this method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
   
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R changes accounting for acquisitions that close beginning in 2009 in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, In-process research & development and restructuring costs. More transactions and events will qualify as business combinations and will be accounted for at fair value under the new standard. SFAS 141R promotes greater use of fair values in financial reporting. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. Some of the changes will introduce more volatility into earnings. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for any business acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
   
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (“NCI”) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 would have an impact on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non-wholly owned business acquired in the future.
   
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3 (“FSP 142-3”), which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The FSP requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset, and is an attempt to improve consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
   
In June 2008, FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“EITF 03-6-1”). Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two- class method of computing EPS. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
   
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165). The statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 shall become effective June 15, 2009 for all subsequent reporting periods. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

In April 2009, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (“SAB No. 111”). SAB No. 111 amends Topic 5.M. in regard to other than temporary impairment of certain investments in debt and equity securities. SAB No. 111 confirms the establishment of the “other than temporary” category of investment impairment. The adoption of SAB No. 111 is effective immediately and will not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
   
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (collectively “FSP FAS 107-1”) which amends FASB No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 became effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
   
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4 (“FSP FAS No. 157-4”) which provides additional guidance, in accordance with FASB No. 157, for estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, and identifying circumstances in which a transaction may not be orderly. The adoption of FSP FAS No. 157-4 became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS No. 157-4 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
   
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and 124-2 (“FSP FAS No. 115-2” and FSP FAS No. 124-2”) which amends the guidance in regard to other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FSP FAS No. 124-2 also require additional disclosures in the financial statements that enable users to understand the types of debt and equity securities held, including those investments in an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has or has not been recognized. The adoption of FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FSP FAS No. 124-2 became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FSP FAS No. 124-2 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”), which replaces FASB No. 162. SFAS No. 168 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. SFAS No. 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 will not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
   
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

As of August 31, 2009, the Company had unrealized losses on its investments of $521,604. None of the unrealized losses have been deemed to be other-than-temporary or temporary impairments, except for the New Jersey State Higher Education Assistance Authority bond as noted below, and are accounted for under mark-to-market rules for Available-for-Sale securities. Please see Note 3 for further information.
Bank certificates of deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for the full balance under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. The Company maintains accounts with several brokerage firms. The accounts contain cash and securities. Balances are insured up to $500,000 (with a limit of $100,000 for cash) by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
The Company had, at August 31, 2009, an auction rate bond issued by the New Jersey State Higher Education Assistance Authority (“NJHE”). The bond was recorded as non-current marketable securities. The NJHE bond has an original par value of $500,000, a maturity date of December 1, 2040, a rating of AA by S&P, and has been placed on negative watch. Fitch has withdrawn their rating. The current annualized interest rate is 0.875% as of September 22, 2009. Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the NJHE auction rate bonds than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions “failed to clear” and that many or all auction bond holders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. The Company believes that no permanent impairment has occurred as of August 31, 2009, as the NJHE has continued to pay interest on the bond, and the Company has sufficient resources to enable holding the bond until maturity. The Company recognized a temporary impairment charge of $40,000 against the $500,000 par value of the bond during fiscal 2008. The Company has recognized an additional temporary impairment charge of $60,000 in the second quarter of 2009. If uncertainties in the credit and capital markets continue, resulting in further market deterioration, the Company may be required to recognize further impairment charges. In addition, if there are any further ratings downgrades, or if the Company no longer has the ability to hold these investments, the Company may have further impairment charges.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157) as of December 1, 2007, which expands disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair market value. SFAS No. 157 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuations techniques utilized to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability that the reporting entity has ability to access at measurement date.
Level 2 — Quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and where fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 — Unobserved inputs for the asset or liability. Fair value is determined by the reporting entity’s own assumptions utilizing the best information available, and includes situations where there is little market activity for the investment.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES
CCA and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
   
The Company previously adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) Interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). 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, 2009 and November 30, 2008. FIN 48 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. There were no penalties or related interest for the fiscal year to date ended August 31, 2009 or for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008.
   
The Company files an income tax return with the United States Department of Treasury, and with various state jurisdictions as required under the nexus laws and regulations of those states. The Company is no longer subject to Federal tax examinations for fiscal 2005 and years prior to fiscal 2005. The Internal Revenue Service has completed examining the U.S. Income tax return filed for fiscal 2006. As a result of the examination, the Internal Revenue Service has proposed an adjustment that will result in a refund to the Company of $94,195. The State of New Jersey, Department of The Treasury, Division of Taxation is currently examining state income and sales tax returns filed for the fiscal years 2004 – 2008. As of October 13, 2009, no adjustments have been proposed. The Company is no longer subject to New Jersey tax examinations for fiscal 2003 and years prior to fiscal 2003. No other state has notified the Company of its intent to conduct an examination of tax returns filed in their jurisdictions.
   
As of August 31, 2009, the Company has unrealized losses on its investments of $521,604, which if realized would have a tax benefit of $208,589. The Company has determined that this deferred tax benefit has no value at this time, as the Company does not believe that it will utilize these losses in the future, and accordingly has not been recorded as a deferred tax asset.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED)
Except for historical information contained herein, this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or outcomes to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, and statements which explicitly describe such issues. Investors are urged to consider any statement labeled with the terms “believes,” “expects,” “intends’” or “anticipates” to be uncertain and forward-looking.
OVERVIEW
Net income for the third quarter ended August 31, 2009 was $1,599,346 as opposed to $1,101,420 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $497,926. Net income increased due to an increase in net sales from $13,939,214 in the third quarter of 2008 to $15,139,754 in the third quarter of 2009. The Company filed a Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2009 informing that the Company had been advised by Wal-Mart, that due to the slow down in the economy it will only be carrying the leading brands in their oral care section, and accordingly, starting in March 2009, will no longer be purchasing the Plus+White® oral care products brand. In 2008 the Company’s net sales of Plus+White® to Wal-Mart totaled $6 million. The increase in net sales for the quarter and year to date ended August 31, 2009 versus the same periods in 2008 was primarily due to increased sales in the Company’s Mega-T diet supplement brand. In addition, the Company’s management has worked diligently to reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses. Net income for the nine months ended August 31, 2009 was $2,417,847, as compared to $2,235,795 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $182,052.
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009
For the three-month period ended August 31, 2009, the Company had revenues of $15,344,595 and net income of $1,599,346 after provision for taxes of $800,191. For the same three month period in 2008, revenues were $14,148,729 and net income was $1,101,420 after a provision for taxes of $737,733. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.23 for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to fully diluted earnings per share of $0.16 for the third quarter of 2008. In accordance with EITF 01-9, 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 2009 were reduced by $1,897,795 and offset by an equal reduction of trade promotional expenses, which were included in the Company’s advertising expense budget. In the same period of the prior year, gross sales were reduced by $1,011,368 and trade promotion was credited by that amount. These accounting adjustments under EITF 01-9 do not affect net income.

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The Company’s net sales increased $1,200,540 from $13,939,214 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 to $15,139,754 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009. Sales incentives for the third quarter of 2009 increased $886,426 from the third quarter of 2008 in order to promote the Company’s brands with the consumer. Net sales were higher primarily due to the increased sales of the Mega-T diet supplement brand. Had EITF 01 — 9 not been adopted, net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 would have been $17,037,549 and $14,950,582, respectively. The Company previously disclosed in Form 8-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2009, that Wal-Mart had advised the Company, due to the slow down in the economy it will only carry the leading brands in their oral care sections, and as a result will no longer be purchasing the Company’s Plus+White® oral care products brand. In addition to the higher sales of the Mega-T dietary supplement brand, the lower sales of the Plus+White® oral care products were offset by higher sales of the Hairoff and Bikini Zone brands, as well as the Pain Bust-R II brand, which was acquired in November 2008. Sales returns and allowances were 16.5% of gross sales for the three-month period ended August 31, 2009 versus 16.3% for the same period last year. This was a result of higher sales incentive spending as previously discussed, partially offset by lower returns. As part of the Company’s brand strategies, products are constantly reviewed, with new products introduced and non-performing ones discontinued. Gross profit margins increased to 62.9% from 62.3% for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 respectively. The gross margin was affected by the change in the product mix of its products, with higher sales of products that had a lower cost of goods.
The Company’s net sales by category for the third quarter of 2009 were: Dietary Supplement $6,299,682, 41.6%; Skin Care $5,066,264, 33.5%; Oral Care $2,055,762, 13.6%; Nail Care $1,234,359, 8.1%; Analgesic $205,173, 1.4%; Fragrance, $119,858, 0.8% and Hair Care and Miscellaneous $158,656, 1.0%; for a total of $15,139,754.
The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has had no substantial cost increases. Income before taxes is $2,399,537 for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $1,839,153 for the same quarter in 2008. Returns and accounts receivable reserves accounted for $1,114,381 that was expensed against earnings for the third quarter of 2009 as opposed to $1,698,459 that was expensed for the same period in 2008. The change in the expense resulting from the change in the accounts receivable reserve is mainly due to the timing of the Company’s sales. Expenses for returns, other than the reserve change, were significantly lower in the third quarter of 2009 versus the same quarter in 2008.
Advertising and media expenditures were $1,870,669 in the third quarter of 2009 versus $1,299,435 in the same period in 2008, or an increase of $571,234. The Company has focused the majority of its advertising efforts in the third quarter on the Mega-T dietary supplement brand. A major portion of the Company’s co-operative advertising is reclassified as a reduction of net sales. Included in advertising media expense is the cost of newspaper inserts.
The selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2009 was $5,247,922 versus $5,648,115 in the third quarter of 2008, or a decrease of $400,193. The Company’s management has implemented reductions of personnel costs, royalty expense and freight expense, beginning at the end of the first quarter 2009. In addition, management has worked diligently to reduce general operating expenses.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 33.3% versus 40.1% for the third quarter of 2008. The provision for income tax included non-deductible expenses and adjustments that reduced the income tax expense by $158,184. Included in this amount was an anticipated refund as the result of the Internal Revenue tax audit of the 2006 fiscal year Federal tax return, which lowered the effective rate for the third quarter of 2009. During the third quarter of 2009, there was $238,252 of officer salaries incurred that were not deductible for tax purposes in calculating the income tax provision.

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009
For the nine-month period ended August 31, 2009, the Company had revenues of $45,037,390 and net income of $2,417,847 after provision for taxes of $1,596,876. For the same nine month period in 2008, revenues were $45,409,755 and net income was $2,235,795 after a provision for taxes of $1,608,756. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.34 for the first nine months of 2009 as compared to fully diluted earnings per share of $0.32 for the first nine months of 2008. In accordance with EITF 01-9, 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 first nine months of 2009 were reduced by $4,923,544 and offset by an equal reduction of trade promotional expenses, which were included in the Company’s advertising expense budget. In the same period of the prior year, gross sales were reduced by $3,825,525 and trade promotion was credited by that amount. These accounting adjustments under EITF 01-9 do not affect net income.
The Company’s net sales decreased $328,130 from $44,836,420 for the nine month period ended August 31, 2008 to $44,508,290 for the nine month period ended August 31, 2009. The decrease was due to the higher amount of sales incentive expenditure in the first nine months of 2009 versus the same period in 2008. Sales incentives for the first nine month of 2009 increased $1,098,019 from the same period in 2008. Had EITF 01 — 9 not been adopted, net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 would have been $49,431,834 and $48,661,945, respectively. Net sales were affected by the decreased sales of the Plus+White® oral care and Bikini Zone products, but offset by an increase in the Mega-T diet supplement brand and sales of Pain Bust-R II, a topical analgesic brand that was acquired in November 2008. The Company previously disclosed in Form 8-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2009, that Wal-Mart had advised the Company, due to the slow down in the economy it will only carry the leading brands in their oral care sections, and as a result will no longer be purchasing the company’s Plus+White® oral care products brand. Sales returns and allowances were 17.4% of gross sales for the nine month period ended August 31, 2009 versus 15.6% for the same period last year. This was a result of the higher sales incentive expenditures, with $4,923,544 or 9.1% of gross sales for the first nine months of 2009, versus $3,825,525 or 7.1% of gross sales for the same period in 2008. As part of the Company’s brand strategies, products are constantly reviewed, with new products introduced and non-performing ones discontinued. Gross profit margins decreased to 62.3% from 63.2% for the nine months ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008 respectively. The gross margin was affected by the higher level of sales incentives in the third quarter of 2009 versus the same period in 2008.
The Company’s net sales by category for the first nine months of 2009 were: Dietary Supplement $18,690,334, 42.0%; Skin Care $13,314,299, 29.9%; Oral Care $6,959,020, 15.7%; Nail Care $4,232,463, 9.5%; Analgesic $500,278, 1.1%; Fragrance, $458,480, 1.0% and Hair Care and Miscellaneous $353,416, 0.8%; for a total of $44,508,290.
The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has had no substantial cost increases. Income before taxes was $4,014,723 for the first nine months of 2009 as compared to $3,844,551 for the same period in 2008. Returns and accounts receivable reserves accounted for $4,423,497 that was expensed against earnings for the first nine months of 2009 as opposed to $4,664,892 that was expensed for the same period in 2008. The change in the expense resulting from the change in accounts receivable reserve is mainly due to the timing of the Company’s sales.

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Advertising and media expenditures were $8,320,159 in the first nine months of 2009 versus $7,710,677 in the same period in 2008. The Company has focused the majority of its advertising efforts in this fiscal year on the Mega-T dietary supplement brand. A major portion of the Company’s co-operative advertising is reclassified as a reduction of net sales. Included in advertising media expense is the cost of newspaper inserts.
The selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2009 was $15,505,062 versus $16,914,888 in the same period in 2008, or a decrease of $1,409,826. The Company’s management has implemented reductions of personnel costs, royalty expense and freight expense, most of which began towards the end of the first quarter 2009. In addition, management has worked diligently to reduce general operating expenses relative to the reduction in sales.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 was 39.8% versus 41.8% for the first nine months of 2008. The provision for income tax includes non-deductible expenses and adjustments that reduced the income tax expense by $6,605. The lower tax rate was due in part to the anticipated refund as a result of the Internal Revenue Service audit of the fiscal 2006 Federal tax return. During the first nine months of 2009, $661,398 of officer salaries incurred was not deductible for tax purposes in calculating the income tax provision.
FINANCIAL POSITION AS OF AUGUST 31, 2009
The Company’s financial position as of August 31, 2009 consisted of current assets of $35,095,251 and current liabilities of $10,617,779, or a current ratio of 3.3 to 1. Shareholders’ equity increased from $28,253,879 as of November 30, 2008 to $29,452,788 as of August 31, 2009. The increase was due to net income of $2,417,847 and unrealized holding gains of $544,671 during the first nine months of 2009, offset partially by dividends declared of $1,763,611 during the 2009 fiscal year. Unrealized holding gains or losses are recorded as other comprehensive income. The unrealized gains were mainly due to the change in the market price of the preferred stock investments. Total unrealized losses on marketable securities were $521,604 as at August 31, 2009. The Company recognized a temporary impairment charge of $60,000 on its NJHE auction rate security during fiscal 2009, which was charged against comprehensive income. Please see footnote No. 7 of the financial statements for further information.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $7,235,341 as of August 31, 2009, an increase of $1,666,643 from November 30, 2008. Included in this increase was cash provided by operations of $2,608,158 and cash provided by investing activities of $1,147,070, offset by dividends paid during the fiscal 2009 year of $2,045,789 and payments of capital lease obligations.
As of August 31, 2009, the Company had $8,593,745 of short term marketable securities and $3,623,230 of non-current securities. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents together with both short and long term marketable securities, net of current liabilities were $8,834,537 as of August 31, 2009. Please refer to footnote No. 7 of the financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s investments.

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Accounts receivable, net of reserves, were $9,324,365 as compared to $8,230,716 as of August 31, 2009 and November 30, 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable were higher due to the timing of the Company’s sales in the third quarter of 2009 versus the fourth quarter of 2008. Inventories, net of reserves, were $8,250,184 as of August 31, 2009 as compared to $7,932,798 as of November 30, 2008. Management has been working to control the amount of the Company’s investment in inventory. Prepaid income taxes decreased from $1,554,158 as of November 30, 2008 to $194,202 as of August 31, 2009. Due to the prepaid income tax balance, the Company has reduced significantly the amount of its estimated tax payments during the first nine months of 2009. Deferred tax assets decreased $115,254 from November 30, 2008 to August 31, 2009. There is also a deferred tax liability of $81,340 as of August 31, 2009, which consists of a difference in the timing of the depreciation expense on the Company’s tax returns versus the depreciation expense recorded in its financial statements. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased to $10,067,834 as of August 31, 2009 from $10,182,510 as of November 30, 2008.
