Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	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. 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 (“GAAP”), requires management to make 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. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be most critical to the financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgment and uncertainties. All of these estimates and assumptions reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects on the information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 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 allowance for cooperative advertising and reserves for returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2018 . The reserve for returns may include specific reserves based on individual customer circumstances. 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 collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability 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 (weighted average) or net realizable value. Product returns deemed saleable are recorded in inventory when they are received at the lower of their original cost or net realizable value, 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. Depreciation and amortization are provided utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets, whichever is shorter: Computer equipment 5 -7 Years Furniture and fixtures 3-10 Years Tools, dies and masters 3 Years Leasehold improvements Remaining life of the lease (2 years, 4 months) Intangible Assets: Intangible assets, which consist of patents and trademarks, are stated at cost. Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Patents are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Trademarks are indefinite lived intangible assets and are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment conditions occur. Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are assets in which the Company has an economic benefit for longer than twelve months from the date of the financial statements. Long-lived assets include property and equipment, intangible assets, deferred financing fees, deferred income taxes and other assets. The Company evaluates impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. If the review indicates that the carrying value of an asset will not be recoverable, based on a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows, the impairment will be measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. Fair value will be determined based on discounted cash flows or appraisals. Impairments are recorded in the statement of operations as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Revenue Recognition: (See also Cooperative Advertising) The Company recognizes sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales comprise gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts, customer allowances and various sales incentives. Included in sales incentives are coupons that the Company issues that are redeemed by its customers. Redemptions are handled by a coupon national clearing house. The Company also has estimated that there is an approximate six week lag in coupon redemptions, with the estimated cost recorded as an accrued liability. Although no legal right of return exists between the customer and the Company, returns, including return of unsold products, are accepted if it is in the best interests of the Company's relationship with the customer. The Company, therefore, records a reserve for returns based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the three preceding months and specific reserve based on customer circumstances and product circumstances. Those returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2018 are offset against the accounts receivable. The reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. Changes in the estimated coupon reserve and sales return reserve are recorded to Sales of health and beauty aid products - net, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Cooperative Advertising: Cooperative advertising is accrued based on a combination of new contracts given to the customers in the current fiscal year, along with liabilities open from prior years. Specific new contracts in the current fiscal year are identified as sales incentives (see sales incentives) and those contracts reduce revenues for the current period. The balances for all years open are reduced throughout the year by either the customer advertising and submitting the proof according to the contract or by customer post audit adjustments that finalize any amount due. Any item open more than three years is closed unless management believes that a deduction may still be taken by the customer. The portion of cooperative advertising recorded as sales incentives was reduced by $133,755 and $401,350 , respectively, in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018 to reduce open cooperative advertising contracts for 2015 for events that have been finalized. There were reductions of $204,527 and $613,723 , respectively, for open cooperative advertising contracts that were finalized during the three and nine month periods ending August 31, 2018 . The balance of the remaining open cooperative advertising is allocated between accrued liabilities and the allowance for cooperative advertising based on the customer's open accounts receivable balance. Sales Incentives: 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 do not affect net income. Shipping Costs: The Company’s policy for financial reporting is to charge shipping costs as part of selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Shipping costs included for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $217,265 and $93,566 , respectively. Shipping costs included for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $520,650 and $271,810 , respectively. Advertising Costs: The Company’s policy for financial reporting is to charge advertising cost to expense as incurred. Advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $816,117 and $738,635 , respectively. Advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $1,671,605 and $1,681,999 , respectively. Research and Development Costs : The Company's policy for financial reporting is to charge research and development costs to expense as incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $16,426 and $16,811 , respectively. Research and development costs for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were $45,819 and $44,143 , respectively. Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which utilizes the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded on the Company’s financial statements and the carrying amounts as reflected on the Company’s income tax return. In addition, the portion of charitable contributions that cannot be deducted in the current period and are carried forward to future periods are also reflected in the deferred tax assets. A substantial portion of the deferred tax asset is due to the losses incurred in fiscal 2015 and prior years, the benefit of which will be carried forward into future tax years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued using the tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management has estimated that it will utilize the entire deferred tax asset in future years based on anticipated future profitability. However, anticipated future profitability may be impacted if the Company’s sales decrease from current levels or due to other factors discussed under Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as supplemented in this Form 10-Q. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, in accordance with ASU 2015-17, all deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recorded as long-term. Previously, the portion that management expected to utilize in the twelve months following the end of the period was recorded as a short-term asset, and the portion that management expected to utilize in periods beyond the twelve months was recorded as a long-term asset. The Company reclassified $2,079,988 that was originally recorded as a current asset as of November 30, 2017 to non-current in conformity with the requirement to report the changes required by ASU 2015-17 on a retrospective basis. The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, “Uncertain Tax Positions.” 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, 2018 and November 30, 2017 . ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 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. (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share: Basic (loss) earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of any common stock equivalents using the “treasury stock method”. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and warrants. Stock Options: ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” requires stock grants to employees to be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values. The Company issued stock options in fiscal 2018 and 2017; see Note 12 for details. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which updated Topic 718 to include share based compensation issued to non-employees. The Company previously issued non-qualified stock option awards to its directors. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the implementation of ASU No. 2018-07 will have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While we are still evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements, we expect that upon adoption we will recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and that the amounts could be material. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The underlying principle of this new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities may adopt this new standard either retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements (i.e., the full retrospective method) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (i.e., the modified retrospective method), without applying to comparative years’ financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which changed the effective date for implementation to annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company does not plan to adopt ASU 2014-09 until its 2019 fiscal year which begins on December 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures and will provide further updates in future periods.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Loan bore interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 6% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. The Company was also required to pay a monthly unused line fee and collateral management fee. The commitment under the Credit Agreement would have expired three years after the Closing Date. The Revolving Loan and all other amounts due and owing under the Credit Agreement and related documents were secured by a first priority perfected security interest in, and lien on, substantially all of the assets of the Company. Amounts available for borrowing under the Line of Credit equaled the lesser of the Borrowing Base (as defined below), and $5,500,000 , in each case, as the same is reduced by the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Line of Credit. “Borrowing Base” under the Loan Agreement means, generally, the amount equal to (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 65% of the value of eligible inventory, less (iii) certain reserves. The Credit Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and covenants on the part of the Company, including a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement imposed an early termination fee and also provides for events of default, including failure to repay principal and interest when due and failure to perform or violation of the provisions or covenants of the agreement. The Company repaid the Revolving Loan in full on February 5, 2018 and terminated the Credit Agreement. The Company paid an early termination charge of $55,000 as provided by the Credit Agreement. On February 5, 2018 the Company entered into the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"). The 2018 Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in an amount of $1,500,000 (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving line of credit up to a maximum of $4,500,000 (the “2018 Revolving Loan” and together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”). The proceeds of the Loans were used to pay off the Company's existing debt with CNH Finance Fund I, L.P., formerly known as SCM Specialty Finance Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“CNH”), and for general working capital purposes. The Term Loan is payable in consecutive monthly installments of $31,250 commencing March 1, 2018 and bears interest, at the election of the Company, at either the PNC base rate plus 1% or 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR rate plus 3.50% . All outstanding amounts under the 2018 Revolving Loan bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the PNC base rate plus 0.25% or 30, 60 or 90 day LIBOR rate plus 2.75% , payable monthly in arrears. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly unused line fee and collateral management fee. The commitment under the 2018 Credit Agreement expires three years after the Closing Date. The Loans and all other amounts due and owing under the 2018 Credit Agreement and related documents are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in, and lien on, substantially all of the assets of the Company. Amounts available for borrowing under the Revolving Loan equal the lesser of the Borrowing Base (as defined below), and $4,500,000 , in each case, as the same is reduced by the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Loan. “Borrowing Base” under the Credit Agreement means, generally, the amount equal to (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 65% of the value of eligible inventory, less (iii) certain reserves. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants on the part of the Company, including a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.0. Due to the Company's loss in the second and third quarter of fiscal 2018, the fixed charge coverage ratio was less than the amount provided for in the covenant. PNC has waived the fixed charge ratio covenant for the second and third quarter of fiscal 2018. The 2018 Credit Agreement also provides for events of default, including failure to repay principal and interest when due and failure to perform or violation of the provisions or covenants of the agreement, as a result of which amounts due under the 2018 Credit Agreement may be accelerated. On the Closing Date, the Company borrowed the entire $1,500,000

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES CCA and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, Uncertain Tax Positions. 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, 2018 and August 31, 2017 . ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 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. As a result of the enactment by the United States Government of public law 115-97, an Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018 (formerly known as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017), federal corporate tax rates for periods beginning after January 1, 2018 have been reduced to 21%. The Company's federal rate was previously 34%. The Company values its deferred tax assets and liabilities using the tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company, prior to the enactment of public law 115-97, had valued its deferred tax assets and liabilities at a combined federal and state tax rate of 36.45% . Due to the corporate tax rate change, the Company determined that its deferred tax assets and liabilities should be valued based on an estimated future tax rate of 24.13% , effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of public law 115-97. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of public law 115-97 is incomplete but is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. The change in rate caused the Company to record an additional tax expense as part of the provision for income tax in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In addition, ASU 2015-17 is effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2018 which requires that all deferred tax assets be classified as long-term. The Company as of November 30, 2017 had $2,079,988 of deferred tax assets that were recorded as a current asset. This amount has been retrospectively reclassified as a non-current asset as of November 30, 2017. The following chart shows the calculation of the previous tax rate and the new tax rate: Previous Rate New Rate Federal rate 34.00 % 21.00 % State rate, net of federal tax benefit 2.45 % 3.13 % Total 36.45 % 24.13 % A portion of the loss carry forward deferred tax asset was valued at a slightly higher blended rate of 25.19% , due to the tax law taking effect on January 1, 2018. The deferred compensation amount is from the issuance of stock options (see Note 12 - Stock-Based Compensation), and will be realized in future years if the options are exercised. At August 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017 , respectively, the Company had temporary differences arising from the following: August 31, 2018 November 30, 2017 Type Amount Deferred Tax Amount Deferred Tax Depreciation $ (468,017 ) $ (112,925 ) $ (378,580 ) $ (137,992 ) Reserve for bad debts 15,368 3,708 6,629 2,416 Reserve for returns 619,185 149,399 246,513 89,854 Accrued returns 110,436 26,646 109,646 39,966 Reserve for obsolete inventory 135,164 32,613 158,269 57,689 Vacation accrual 52,233 12,603 70,856 25,827 Alternative minimum tax carry forward — 103,040 — 122,360 Research and development tax credit — 65,175 — — Deferred Compensation 491,382 118,563 487,061 177,534 Bonus obligation unpaid — — 400,166 145,861 Charitable contributions 242,650 58,548 305,633 111,403 Section 263A costs 208,120 50,216 48,317 17,612 Loss carry forward 24,789,723 5,990,894 24,279,259 8,849,789 Net deferred tax asset $ 26,196,244 $ 6,498,480 $ 25,733,769 $ 9,502,319 Income tax expense (benefit) is made up of the following components: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended August 31, 2018 August 31, 2017 August 31, 2018 August 31, 2017 Current tax - Federal $ — $ 43,875 $ — $ 59,875 Current tax - State & Local 595 312 5,944 6,189 Deferred tax (70,273 ) 310,629 3,023,507 816,846 Total Income Tax (Benefit) Expense $ (69,678 ) $ 354,816 $ 3,029,451 $ 882,910 Prepaid and refundable income taxes are made up of the following components: Prepaid and refundable income taxes Federal State & Total August 31, 2018 $ 20,335 $ 7,449 $ 27,784 November 30, 2017 $ 1,015 $ 37,138 $ 38,153 Income taxes payable are made up of the following components: Income Taxes Payable Federal State & Total August 31, 2018 $ — $ 950 $ 950 A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the effective rate for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2018 , and August 31, 2017 is as follows: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended August 31, 2018 August 31, 2017 Amount Percent of Pretax Income Amount Percent of Pretax Income Provision for income taxes at federal statutory rate $ (57,404 ) 21.00 % $ 249,050 34.00 % Changes in provision for income taxes resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit (8,556 ) 3.13 % 21,242 2.90 % Non-deductible expenses and other adjustments (3,718 ) 1.36 % 84,524 11.54 % (Benefit from) Provision for income taxes at effective rate $ (69,678 ) 25.49 % $ 354,816 48.44 % Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended August 31, 2018 August 31, 2017 Amount Percent of Pretax Income Amount Percent of Pretax Income Provision for (benefit from) income taxes at federal statutory rate $ (144,312 ) 21.00 % $ 729,604 34.00 % Increases in taxes resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit (21,509 ) 3.13 % 62,231 2.90 % Change in tax rate related to future deferred tax benefits 3,150,147 (458.40 )% — — % Non-deductible expenses and other adjustments 45,125 (6.57 )% 91,075 4.24 % Provision for income taxes at effective rate $ 3,029,451 (440.84 )% $ 882,910 41.14 %

The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to one million shares of common stock (subject to customary adjustments set forth in the plan) pursuant to equity awards, which may take the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options restricted shares, stock appreciation rights and/or performance shares.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The 2018 Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter measured on a rolling four quarter basis. Although the Company was in compliance with this covenant as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant as of the end of the second and third quarters of fiscal 2018 due to the Company's losses in those quarters, which constituted events of default under the 2018 Credit Agreement Under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement, an event of default permits PNC to, among other things, terminate the agreement and accelerate any indebtedness outstanding thereunder. PNC waived compliance with the financial covenant for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2018. In addition, on October 19, 2018, the 2018 Credit Agreement was amended to reset the commencement

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Aug. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	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.
Estimates and Assumptions	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 (“GAAP”), requires management to make 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. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be most critical to the financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgment and uncertainties. All of these estimates and assumptions reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects on the information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents:The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable	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 allowance for cooperative advertising and reserves for returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2018 . The reserve for returns may include specific reserves based on individual customer circumstances. 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 collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade
Inventories	Inventories:Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or net realizable value. Product returns deemed saleable are recorded in inventory when they are received at the lower of their original cost or net realizable value, 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 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 utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets, whichever is shorter: Computer equipment 5 -7 Years Furniture and fixtures 3-10 Years Tools, dies and masters 3 Years Leasehold improvements Remaining life of the lease (2 years, 4 months)
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets: Intangible assets, which consist of patents and trademarks, are stated at cost. Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 17
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived Assets:Long-lived assets are assets in which the Company has an economic benefit for longer than twelve months from the date of the financial statements. Long-lived assets include property and equipment, intangible assets, deferred financing fees, deferred income taxes and other assets. The Company evaluates impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. If the review indicates that the carrying value of an asset will not be recoverable, based on a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows, the impairment will be measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. Fair value will be determined based on discounted cash flows or appraisals. Impairments are recorded in the statement of operations as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Revenue Recognition and Cooperative Advertising	Revenue Recognition: (See also Cooperative Advertising) The Company recognizes sales in accordance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales comprise gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts, customer allowances and various sales incentives. Included in sales incentives are coupons that the Company issues that are redeemed by its customers. Redemptions are handled by a coupon national clearing house. The Company also has estimated that there is an approximate six week lag in coupon redemptions, with the estimated cost recorded as an accrued liability. Although no legal right of return exists between the customer and the Company, returns, including return of unsold products, are accepted if it is in the best interests of the Company's relationship with the customer. The Company, therefore, records a reserve for returns based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the three preceding months and specific reserve based on customer circumstances and product circumstances. Those returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 2018 are offset against the accounts receivable. The reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities. Changes in the estimated coupon reserve and sales return reserve are recorded to Sales of health and beauty aid products - net, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Cooperative Advertising: Cooperative advertising is accrued based on a combination of new contracts given to the customers in the current fiscal year, along with liabilities open from prior years. Specific new contracts in the current fiscal year are identified as sales incentives (see sales incentives) and those contracts reduce revenues for the current period. The balances for all years open are reduced throughout the year by either the customer advertising and submitting the proof according to the contract or by customer post audit adjustments that finalize any amount due. Any item open more than three years is closed unless management believes that a deduction may still be taken by the customer. The portion of cooperative advertising recorded as sales incentives was reduced by $133,755 and $401,350 , respectively, in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018 to reduce open cooperative advertising contracts for 2015 for events that have been finalized. There were reductions of $204,527 and $613,723 , respectively, for open cooperative advertising contracts that were finalized during the three and nine month periods ending August 31, 2018
Sales Incentives	Sales Incentives: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 do not affect net income.
Shipping Costs	Shipping Costs:
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs:The Company’s policy for financial reporting is to charge advertising cost to expense as incurred.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs :
Income Taxes	Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which utilizes the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded on the Company’s financial statements and the carrying amounts as reflected on the Company’s income tax return. In addition, the portion of charitable contributions that cannot be deducted in the current period and are carried forward to future periods are also reflected in the deferred tax assets. A substantial portion of the deferred tax asset is due to the losses incurred in fiscal 2015 and prior years, the benefit of which will be carried forward into future tax years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued using the tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management has estimated that it will utilize the entire deferred tax asset in future years based on anticipated future profitability. However, anticipated future profitability may be impacted if the Company’s sales decrease from current levels or due to other factors discussed under Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as supplemented in this Form 10-Q. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, in accordance with ASU 2015-17, all deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recorded as long-term. Previously, the portion that management expected to utilize in the twelve months following the end of the period was recorded as a short-term asset, and the portion that management expected to utilize in periods beyond the twelve months was recorded as a long-term asset. The Company reclassified $2,079,988 that was originally recorded as a current asset as of November 30, 2017 to non-current in conformity with the requirement to report the changes required by ASU 2015-17 on a retrospective basis. The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, “Uncertain Tax Positions.” 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, 2018 and November 30, 2017 . ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 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.
(Loss) Earnings Per Common Share	(Loss) Earnings Per Common Share:Basic (loss) earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of any common stock equivalents using the “treasury stock method”. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and warrants.
Stock Options	Stock Options:ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” requires stock grants to employees to be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which updated Topic 718 to include share based compensation issued to non-employees. The Company previously issued non-qualified stock option awards to its directors. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the implementation of ASU No. 2018-07 will have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While we are still evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements, we expect that upon adoption we will recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and that the amounts could be material. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The underlying principle of this new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities may adopt this new standard either retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements (i.e., the full retrospective method) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (i.e., the modified retrospective method), without applying to comparative years’ financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which changed the effective date for implementation to annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company does not plan to adopt ASU 2014-09 until its 2019 fiscal year which begins on December 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures and will provide further updates in future periods.
