NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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. Operating results for the three
month period ended February 29, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2004. 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, 2003.
NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CCA Industries, Inc. ("CCA") was incorporated in the State of Delaware
on March 25, 1983.

(UNAUDITED)
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 unreal
ized 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.
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.

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 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
(ranging from 1-9 years)
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Patents and trademarks are amortized
on the straight-line method over a period of 15-17 years.
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.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Earnings Per Common Share:
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 weighted average number of common
shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options using the
"treasury stock method" and convertible debentures using the "if-con
verted" method. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales
are comprised of gross sales 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.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original
invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts.
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 custom
ers 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.
Accounts receivable with credit balances have been included as a current
liability in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the accompanying
balance sheet.
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $557,941 and $549,851 as of February 29, 2004 and
November 30, 2003, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
The Company presents shipping and handling costs as part of selling,
general and administrative expense and not as part of cost of sales.
Freight costs were $486,036 and $775,198 for the three months ended
February 29, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
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 2004
presentation.

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 $3,722,909 is accordingly
reflected in the balance sheet for the interim period. This deferral is the
result of the Company's $9 million media budget and $5.5 million co-op
budget for the year which contemplates lower spending in the 4th
quarter than in the other three quarters.
The table below sets forth the calculation:
February February

$158,023 $152,397
NOTE 10 - NOTES PAYABLE AND SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company has an available line of credit of $10,000,000. Interest is
calculated at the Company's option, either on the outstanding balance at
prime rate minus 1% or Libor plus 150 basis points. The line of credit is
unsecured and the Company must adhere to certain financial covenants
pertaining to net worth and debt coverage. The Company was not
utilizing their available credit line at February 29, 2004 or November 30,
2003.
On August 1, 2000, the Company repurchased (pursuant to a tender
offer) 278,328 shares of its outstanding common stock by issuing
subordinated debentures equal to $2 per share, which accrue interest at
6% and are due to mature on August 1, 2005. The interest is payable
semi-annually.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company has been named as a defendant in 12 lawsuits alleging that
the plaintiffs were injured as a result of their purchasing and ingesting our
diet suppressant containing phenylpropanolamine (PPA), which the
Company utilized as its active ingredient in its products prior to November
2000. The lawsuits brought against the Company are for unspecified
amount of compensatory and exemplary damages. Eight of the suits
have been dismissed with prejudice. An additional suit is in the process
of being dismissed. Outside counsel for the Company believes that the
three PPA cases still pending against the Company are defensible. Of the
Company's three pending suits, one is insured by the Company's liability
carrier.
Dividends
CCA declared a dividend of $0.14 per share payable to all holders of the
Company's common stock, $0.07 to shareholders of record on May 1,
2004 payable on June 1, 2004 and $0.07 to shareholders of record on
November 1, 2004, payable on November 30, 2004.
NOTE 12 - PENSION PLANS
The Company has adopted a 401(K) Profit Sharing Plan that covers union
and non-union employees with over one year of service and attained Age
21. Employees may make salary reduction contributions up to twenty-
five percent of compensation not to exceed the federal government limits.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED)
For the three month period ending February 29, 2004, the Company had
revenues of $13,087,488 and net income of $836,142 after a provision for taxes
of $522,411. For the same quarter in 2003, revenues were $12,515,182 and net
income of $573,626 after a provision for taxes of $386,706. Earnings per
share was $0.11 for the first quarter 2004 as compared to earnings per share
of $0.08 for the first quarter 2003. In accordance with EITF 00-14, the
Company has accounted for certain sales incentives offered to customers by
charging them directly to sales as opposed to "advertising and promotional"
expense. Net sales were reduced by $625,226 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 $324,192 and trade promotion was credited by that amount. These
accounting adjustments under EITF 00-14 do not affect net income.
The 46% increase in net income was a result of a $566,680 increase in
sales and the reduction of $305,652 in selling and general and administrative
expenses. Advertising, co-op and promotional expenses increased by $402,770
compared to the three months ending February 28, 2003. However, since the
above co-op offset to sales of $625,226 was $301,034 higher than last year's
first quarter of $324,192, a net increase of $101,736 is all that is
reflected. Other expenses, however, were reduced. Expense reductions were
$294,862 in freight out, $124,085 in royalty expenses, travel and
entertainment of $83,008, and a decrease in recruitment of $52,872.
Both media and co-op commitments have a material effect on the Company's
operations. The Company attempts to anticipate its advertising and
promotional commitments as a percentage of gross sales in order to control its
effect on net income. In accordance with APB No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting, the Company expenses its advertising and related costs
proportionately over the interim periods based on its total expected expenses
for its various advertising programs. The total advertising programs for the
year are budgeted at $9 million for media and $5.5 million for co-op
advertising up from $8 million for media and $5 million for the prior year.
The Company's co-op budget for the quarter is $1,375,000. Deducted from the
budgeted figure is the $625,226 offset against net sales. Research of prior
years show that the entire amount of the budgeted co-op has never been fully
utilized by the Company's accounts as a result of merchandising changes and
cancelled promotions. An additional reduction of $231,234 to co-op expense is
due to this reserve placed on co-op commitments. The reduction is based on
an estimate of co-op commitments that will not be utilized based on the
historical facts. The resulting $518,540 was expensed for co-op for the
quarter and a deferral of $1,493,918 for co-op advertising is reflected on the
balance sheet. This deferral will be fully expensed by year-end. The
deferral is primarily a result of the Company's current $5,500,000 co-op
advertising budget, which is predicated on substantially lower spending in the
third and fourth quarters. The Company expensed $2,250,000 for its media
advertising for the current quarter and deferred $2,228,991 for subsequent
deductions.
-19-
For the period ended February 29, 2004, there was approximately $380,800
of unclaimed co-op commitments from the prior years. If it becomes apparent
that this co-op will not be utilized, the unclaimed co-op will be offset
against the expense during the rest of the fiscal year. This procedure is
consistent with prior years' methodology with regard to the unclaimed co-op
expenses.
The Company's financial position as at February 29, 2004 consists of
current assets of $24,316,114 and current liabilities of $11,425,162, or a
current ratio of 2.1:1. In addition, shareholders' equity increased from
$23,344,540 to $24,339,407 primarily due to net income earned during the
current quarter.
All of the Company's investments are classified as available for sale.
Investments with a maturity date greater than one year from February 29, 2004
are presented as long-term investments. Assuming these long-term investments
can be sold and turned into liquid assets at any time, it would result in a
current ratio of 3.1:1.
The Company's cash position increased primarily due to the net proceeds
from redemptions and purchases of marketable securities of $475,000 and the
net effect of cash provided by operations of $157,000. The increase in
accounts receivable is predominately due to large sales increases late in the
first quarter, and accounts payable increased primarily due to accruals for
advertising. Research and development expenses were $233,846.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's financial statements record the Company's investments under
the "mark to market" method (i.e., at date-of-statement market value). The
investments are, categorically listed, in "Common Stock", "Mutual Funds",
"Other Equity", "Preferred Stock", "Government Obligations" and "Corporate
Obligations". $537,440 of the Company's $13,309,016 portfolio of investments
(approximate, as at Feb. 29, 2004) is invested in the "Common Stock" and
"Other Equity" categories, and approximately $1,369,196 in that category are
Preferred Stock holdings. Whereas the Company does not take positions or
engage in transactions in risk-sensitive market instruments in any substantial
degree, nor as defined by SEC rules and instructions; therefore, the Company
does not believe that its investment-market risk is material.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, management has carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 29,
2004.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
subsequent to the date the controls were evaluated that materially affect, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
