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.

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 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 six months ended May 31, 2008, dividends declared were $1,481,433 and dividends paid were in the amount of $1,340,344.

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 May 31, 2008. 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.
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.
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. 0-02, “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:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earning Per Share” in 1998. 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 years amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current years presentation.

NOTE 3 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 May 31, 2008 are offset against the accounts receivable. The reserves which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices are included in accrued liabilities.
Sales Incentives:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods in those fiscal years. Accordingly, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on December 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of SFAS Statements Nos. 87, 88,106 and 132R. SFAS No. 158, requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position , measure a plan’s assets and obligations as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year-end and recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2007. Since the Company does not have a defined benefit pension or post retirement plan, the adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006 which was the fiscal year ending November 30, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
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 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, and accordingly was adopted by the Company on December 1, 2007. The adoption of this statement will have no 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”) which provides interpretive guidance regarding the use of a “simplified” method in estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with FASB No. 123. SAB 110 is effective as of January 1, 2007, and accordingly was adopted by the Company on that date. The adoption of this statement will have no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

The adoption of this statement will have no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 (“SFAS No. 160) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.

The Company had at May 31, 2008 three auction rate bonds, two issued by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“NJEDA”), and one issued by the New Jersey State Higher Education Assistance Authority (“NJHE”). The bonds are recorded as non-current marketable securities. One of the NJEDA bonds with a par value of $425,000 was sold June 3, 2008 at par value plus accrued interest. The remaining NJEDA bond has an original par value of $150,000, a maturity date of May 1, 2019, and a rating of Aaa by Moody’s AAA by S&P and AAA by Fitch. The current interest rate is 4.33% as of June 13 2008. NJHE has an original par value of $500,000, a maturity date of December 1, 2040, a rating of AA by S&P, AAA by Fitch, and has been placed on negative watch. The current interest rate is 14.0% as of June 13, 2008. Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the NJEDA and 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 impairment has occurred as of May 31, 2008, as the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments long enough to avoid realizing any significant loss. If uncertainties in the credit and capital markets continue, these markets may deteriorate further, or there are any further ratings downgrades, or if the Company no longer has the ability to hold these investments, the Company may be required to recognize impairment charges.

NOTE 14 —TRANSACTION EXPENSES
On November 1, 2006 the Company entered into a letter of intent with Dubilier and Company relating to a proposed acquisition of the Company by Dubilier. A copy of the letter of intent was included as an exhibit to the Company’s 8K filed Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2006. On April 2, 2007, the Company received an opinion from an investment banking company that from a financial point of view, the proposed transaction is fair to all shareholders. On April 10, 2007 the Company was advised by Dubilier that it was unable to obtain its financing, despite the fact that the Company had met all of its financial requirements of earnings before income tax, depreciation, and amortization, as well as net working capital. The board of directors terminated all negotiations with Dubilier. For the three and six month periods ended May 31, 2007, costs associated with the proposed acquisition amounted to $405,238 and $717,850 respectively, and are included as transaction costs in the statement of income.
NOTE 15 —SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 25, 2008, the Board of Directors declared an $0.11 per share dividend to all shareholders of record as of August 1, 2008, and payable on September 1, 2008.

ITEM 2. | | 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.
For the three-month period ended May 31, 2008, the Company had revenues of $17,389,985 and net income of $790,692 after provision for taxes of $687,239. For the same quarter in 2007, revenues were $18,457,562 and net income was $1,292,921 after a provision for taxes of $1,034,928. Earnings per share were $0.11 (diluted) for the second quarter 2008 as compared to earnings of $0.18 (diluted) for the second quarter 2007. 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 second quarter of 2008 were reduced by $1,513,218 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 $1,562,498 and trade promotion was credited by that amount. These accounting adjustments under EIFT 01-9 do not affect net income.
The Company’s net sales decreased from $18,227,413 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2007 to $17,258,060 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2008. Sales incentives for the second quarter of 2008 decreased $49,280 from the second quarter of 2007. Gross sales were lower in the second quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007 due to less promotional events then last year. In addition, sales of the Mega-T diet product were down. The Company attributes the sales decline to the heavily advertised former prescriptive diet aid by a leading pharmaceutical company. The Company will be introducing several new unique diet aids in their fourth quarter in order to offset the recent sales decline in their Mega-T diet aid sales. In addition, the Company will be introducing a number of new SKUs to their other brands also in the upcoming third and fourth quarters. Sales returns and allowances were 16.3% of gross sales for the three-month period ended May 31, 2008 versus 16.6% for the same period last year. Sales returns were lower, with $1,700,731 or 8.1% of gross sales for the second quarter of 2008, versus $1,866,574 or 8.4% for the second quarter of 2007. Gross profit margins decreased slightly to 63.3% from 63.4% for the three months ended May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2007 respectively.
The Company’s gross sales net of returns by category for the second quarter of 2008 were: Skin Care $6,679,954, 35.6%; Dietary Supplement $5,715,588, 30.5%; Oral Care $4,485,228, 23.9%; Nail Care $1,928,950, 10.3%; Fragrance $254,349, 1.3%; and Miscellaneous $(292,791) -1.6%; for a total of $18,771,278. The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has had no substantial cost increases. Income before taxes is $1,477,930 as compared to $2,327,849 for the same quarter in 2007. Returns and accounts receivable reserves accounted for $1,897,017 that was expensed against earnings for the second quarter of 2008.

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
Advertising media expenditures were $75,755 lower in the second quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007. The reduction in advertising expense was due to the Company working to adjust its business model by decreasing the amount of its media advertising and focusing more on co-operative advertising with its retail partners. 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. In addition to the increased focus on co-operative advertising, the Company has strategically allocated increased funding for the newspaper inserts. This expense increased from $43,608 in the second quarter of 2007 to $324,953 in the second quarter of 2008. The Company, as part of its new strategy, has also redesigned portions of its web site. Web design costs that were expensed as part of advertising media expenditures for the second quarter of 2008 were $101,515. The Company did not have any web design expenses for the second quarter of 2007.
The selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2008 increased $562,776 to $5,785,682 from $5,222,906 in the second quarter 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased shipping costs of $152,608, increased royalties of $66,327, increased rent, utilities and warehouse expenses of $58,400, decrease in costs allocated to costs of goods sold of $160,161, increased legal and accounting of $17,046 and increased personnel costs of $59,491. As part of its efforts to enhance its marketing strategy, the Company has invested to increase the marketing staff. This has resulted in increased personnel and related support costs. It is anticipated that the positive results of this marketing investment will be seen in future periods. The Company had rent expense for the Company’s new additional warehouse facility at 99 Murray Hill Parkway, East Rutherford, while still paying rent at its Lodi facility. The lease at the Lodi facility ended on April 30, 2008. Earnings were impacted during the second quarter of 2007 by transaction expenses related to the proposed acquisition of the Company by Dubilier as disclosed in Note 13. Transaction expenses incurred during the three month period ended May 31, 2007 were $405,238.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2008 was 46.5% versus 44.5% for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to the amount of non-deductible expenses and adjustments as a percentage of pre-tax income, which for the second quarter of 2008 were $96,953 or 6.56% of pre-tax income versus $105,185 or 4.52% of pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2007.
For the six month period ended May 31, 2008, the Company had revenues of $31,261,025 and net income of $1,134,375 after provision for taxes of $871,023. For the six month period ended May 31, 2007, revenues were $32,285,140 and net income was $1,765,669 after a provision for taxes of $1,375,339. Earnings per share were $0.16 (diluted) for the first half of 2008 as compared to earnings of $0.25 (diluted) for the first half of 2007. 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 half of 2008 were reduced by $2,814,157 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 $2,708,201 and trade promotion was credited by that amount. These accounting adjustments under EIFT 01-9 do not affect net income.

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
The selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2008 increased $1,538,538 to $11,266,843 from $9,728,305 in the first half of 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased shipping costs of $235,397, increased royalties of $42,497, increased rent, utilities and warehouse expenses of $82,799, increased computer costs of $62,850, increased consulting and temporary help of $86,048, decrease in costs allocated to costs of goods sold of $427,407, increased legal and accounting of $119,140 and increased personnel costs of $195,842. As part of its efforts to enhance its marketing strategy, the Company has invested to increase the marketing staff. This has resulted in increased personnel and related support costs. It is anticipated that the positive results of this marketing investment will be seen in future periods. The Company had rent expense for the Company’s new additional warehouse facility at 99 Murray Hill Parkway, East Rutherford, while still paying rent at its Lodi facility. The lease at the Lodi facility ended on April 30, 2008. Earnings were impacted during the first half of 2007 by transaction expenses related to the proposed acquisition of the Company by Dubilier as disclosed in Note 13. Transaction expenses incurred during the six month period ended May 31, 2007 were $717,850.
The effective tax rate for the first half of 2008 was 43.4% versus 43.8% for the first half of 2007. Changes to the tax rate are due in part to changes in the deferred tax assets.
The Company’s financial position as of May 31, 2008 consisted of current assets of $35,785,400 and current liabilities of $11,232,404, or a current ratio of 3.2 to 1. Shareholders’ equity decreased from $30,750,318 as of November 30, 2007 to $30,436,227 as of May 31, 2008. The decrease was due to dividends declared of $1,481,433 during the first half of 2008, while net income increased $1,134,375 and unrealized income increased $32,967.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $3,419,861 as of May 31, 2008, a decrease of $3,324,099 from November 30, 2007. The decrease was mainly due to the Company purchasing marketable securities and the payment of dividends. As of May 31, 2008, the Company had $9,923,738 of short term marketable securities and $4,755,615 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 $6,866,810 as of May 31, 2008.
The Company’s cash flow from operations provided net cash of $25,632 for the six months ended May 31, 2008. For the six months ended May 31, 2007, net cash of $555,765 was used in the Company’s operations.
The Company’s long term investments as of May 31, 2008 were $4,755,615. Please refer to footnote No. 7 of the financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s investments.
Accounts receivable, net of reserves, were $11,173,564 as compared to $9,119,179 as of May 31, 2008 and November 30, 2007, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable is due to the timing of the Company’s sales. Inventories, net of reserves, were $8,547,771 as of May 31, 2008 as compared to $7,857,322 as of November 30, 2007. Inventory is higher to satisfy sales requirements for the third quarter of 2008. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased to $10,401,493 as of May 31, 2008 from $8,354,458 as of November 30, 2007. The Company was not utilizing any of the funds available under its $25,000,000 unsecured credit line as of May 31, 2008.

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.” $105,107 of the Company’s $14,679,350 portfolio of investments (approximate, as at May 31, 2008) is invested in the “Common Stock” and “Other Equity” categories, and approximately $2,727,120 in that category are Preferred Stock holdings. 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 May 31, 2008.
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.
