NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated finan
cial 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 re
quired by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of manage
ment, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the three
month period ended February 29, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended November 30, 2000. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and foot
notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1999.
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 Corpora
tion), 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. In 1999, the Company
adopted a formal plan to discontinue the operations of the
subsidiary. The 1999 financial statements have been
restated to give effect for discontinued operations.
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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 1999, two officers/shareholders exercised in
the aggregate 100,000 options in exchange for 25,000 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 obsolescence
is determined.

(UNAUDITED)
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 deprecia
tion 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 trade
marks 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 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.

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.
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.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 2000 presentation.

Amortization expense for the three months ended February

tively.
NOTE 7 - DEFERRED ADVERTISING
In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the
Company expenses its advertising and related costs propor
tionately over the interim periods based on its total
expected costs per its various advertising programs.
Consequently a deferral of $1,684,810 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:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the three month period ended February 29, 2000, the Company
had revenues of $8,636,120 and a net loss of ($206,122). In the
prior year's period, the Company had revenues of $8,698,161 and a
net income of $9,929 (excluding sales from discontinued operations
of $1,088,577 and income of $61,732). Sales for the three month
period were substantially the same as the prior period except the
reduction of sales of Nutra Enamel of ($85,000) as a result of the
commencement of the discontinuance of Color Line. Sales returns ran
approximately 6% of gross sales. Sales returns were 8% for the
prior year's period. Other income was $62,000 compared to $41,000.
Gross margins of 57% were down from 59%, this was primarily due to
a reduction in the margins with a major account which were offset
by reductions in cooperative expenses with that account; and a
slight increase in inflationary costs.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures
were $1,836,251 as compared to $2,020,117. The reduction was offset
by the 1.3% reduction in gross profit margins of approximately
$120,000. Advertising expenditures were 21.4% of sales compared to
23.3%. Since both co-op advertising and promotions have a material
effect on the Company's operations, the Company attempts to
anticipate its advertising and promotional commitments as a percent
of gross sales in order to control its effect on its net income.
In accordance with APB 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 $1,430,000 of
media expense and $250,000 of co-op expenses is reflected in the
balance sheet. The Company deferred $437,146 in the prior year.
This deferral is the result of the Company's $5 million media budget
for the entire year which is predicated on substantially lower
spending in the third and fourth quarters. Co-op expenditures are
budgeted at $2,350,000 for the year. Specifically, the Company
spent $2.68 million for media advertising in the three months and
$840,000 in co-op advertising. The difference is deferred over the
subsequent nine month period and by the end of the year will be
fully expensed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased
from $2,919,575 to $3,201,487. The increase was primarily due to
the additional freight costs incurred due to the increase in oil
prices and their effect on shipping charges as well as the necessity
to resort to special deliveries to the Company's accounts caused by
inadvertent delays from the Company's suppliers; and the additional
pack-out labor expenditures incurred due to special displays packed
and shipped for promotional sales offers.
Research and development expenses for the three months were
substantially the same as the prior year's period.
Bad debt expense for the period increased due to the substantial
increase in the Company's accounts receivable. Actual write-offs
were approximately $30,000 as compared to $4,000 in 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
The Company's interest expense increased to $5,429 (net of the
interest attributed to the discontinued operations of $17,053) as
compared to none (net of the $34,645 attributable to discontinued
operations in 1999).
The Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food
chains and mass merchandisers.
The Company's financial position as at February 29, 2000
consists of current assets of $21,503,062 and current liabilities
of $9,565,672. The Company's cash position decreased due to the
significant increase in its accounts receivable primarily as a
result of the sales in the latter month of the quarter. The
Company's accounts payable increased due to the change in the
increased expenditures for media during the latter part of the
month.
During the three months, the Company used approximately $522,000
in operations, generated $200,000 from new borrowings, and used
approximately $189,000 to purchase assets and investments. These
factors resulted in a net decrease in the Company's cash of about
$511,000.
