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.

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, 2007. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.

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 nine months ended August 31, 2008, dividends declared were $2,257,422 and dividends paid were in the amount of $2,116,333.

NOTE 3 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts. The accounts receivable balance is further reduced by allowances for coop advertising and reserves for returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of August 31, 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. Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets:
| | |
Machinery and equipment | | 5-7 Years |
Furniture and fixtures | | 3-10 Years |
Tools, dies and masters | | 3 Years |
Transportation equipment | | 5 Years |
Leasehold improvements | | Remaining life of the lease (approximately four years) |

NOTE 3 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Patents are amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Such intangible assets are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Web Site Costs:
Certain costs incurred in creating the graphics and content of the Company’s web site has been capitalized in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) No. 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 August 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:
In accordance with EITF 01-9, the Company has accounted for certain sales incentives offered to customers by charging them directly to sales as opposed to “advertising and promotional” expense. Had EITF 01-9 not been adopted, net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007 would have been $14,950,582 and $15,364,335, respectively. Net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007 would have been $48,661,945 and $49,678,830, respectively.
Advertising Costs:
The Company’s policy for fiscal financial reporting is to charge advertising cost to operations as incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
The Company’s policy for fiscal financial reporting is to charge shipping costs as part of selling, general and administrative expense as incurred. Freight costs included were $827,589 and $761,667 for the three months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Freight costs included were $2,484,148 and $2,182,829 for the nine months ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Stock Options:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Accounting for Share-Based Compensation” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. Effective for annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005, SFAS No. 123R requires stock grants to employees to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB No. 109”. FIN No. No. 48 established a recognition threshold and measurement for income tax positions recognizes in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN No. 48 also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition and the second is measurement. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company adopted FIN No. 48 on December 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN No. 48 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

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 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued a revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS No. 141 (revised)”) which establishes the methods for accounting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141 (revised) defines the acquirer and the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141 revised is effective for acquisition dates on or after December 15, 2008. 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. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 160.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Principles”. We expect that the adoption of this standard would have no impact on our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that if currently adopted would have a material affect on the accompanying financial statements.

The Company had at August 31, 2008 two 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. The NJEDA bond had an original par value of $150,000 and a maturity date of May 1, 2019. The company sold $25,000 of the bond on August 26, 2008 at par value, leaving a remaining balance of $125,000 as of August 31, 2008. On September 4, 2008, the Company sold an additional $25,000 at par value, and on September 17, 2008 the Company sold the remaining balance of $100,000 at par value. The NJHE bond has an original par value of $500,000, a maturity date of December 1, 2040, a rating of AA by S&P, and has been placed on negative watch. Fitch has withdrawn their rating. The current interest rate is 3.238% as of September 18, 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 permanent impairment has occurred as of August 31, 2008, as the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments long enough to avoid realizing any significant loss. The Company has recognized a temporary impairment charge of $40,000 against the $500,000 par value of the bond. If uncertainties in the credit and capital markets continue, these markets may deteriorate further, or if 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 further 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 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 nine month periods ended August 31, 2007, costs associated with the proposed acquisition amounted to $0 and $717,850 respectively, and are included as transaction costs in the statement of income.

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 August 31, 2008, the Company had revenues of $14,148,729 and net income of $1,101,240 after provision for taxes of $737,733. For the same quarter in 2007, revenues were $14,266,083 and net income was $2,069,604 after a provision for taxes of $1,409,470. Earnings per share were $0.16 (diluted) for the third quarter 2008 as compared to earnings of $0.29 (diluted) for the third 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 third quarter of 2008 were reduced by $856,218 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 $1,424,966 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 slightly from $13,939,369 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2007 to $13,939,214 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2008. Sales incentives for the third quarter of 2008 decreased $568,748 from the third quarter of 2007. Sales of the Mega-T diet product were lower than expected. 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 the fourth quarter in order to offset the recent sales decline in the Mega-T diet aid sales. In addition, the Company will also be introducing a number of new SKUs to their other brands in the upcoming fourth quarter. Sales returns and allowances were 16.1% of gross sales for the three-month period ended August 31, 2008 versus 16.7% for the same period last year. Sales returns were higher, with $1,605,344 or 9.5% of gross sales for the third quarter of 2008, versus $1,131,848 or 6.7% for the third quarter of 2007. Gross profit margins decreased to 62.3% from 64.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007 respectively. The gross margin was affected by the higher level of returns in the third quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007.
The Company’s gross sales net of returns and allowances by category for the third quarter of 2008 were: Dietary Supplement $5,076,025, 33.9%; Skin Care $4,293,548, 28.7%; Oral Care $3,688,602, 24.7%; Nail Care $1,612,984, 10.8%; Fragrance $274,798, 1.8%; and Miscellaneous $4,626, 0.1%; for a total of $14,950,583. The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has had no substantial cost increases. Income before taxes is $1,839,153 as compared to $3,479,074 for the same quarter in 2007. Returns and accounts receivable reserves accounted for $1,698,459 that was expensed against earnings for the third quarter of 2008 as opposed to $1,247,048 that was expensed for the same period in 2007.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
Advertising media expenditures were $1,299,435 in the third quarter of 2008 versus $154,376 in the same period in 2007, or an increase of $1,145,059. A major portion of the Company’s co-operative advertising is reclassified as a reduction of net sales. Included in advertising media expense is the cost of newspaper inserts. The Company, as part of its advertising strategy, redesigned portions of its consumer web site and advertised on the internet. Most of the advertising expense in the third quarter of 2008 was for web advertising for the Bikini Zone brand.
The selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2008 was $5,648,115 versus $5,522,600 in the third quarter 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased charitable donations of inventory, shipping costs, sales commissions, and legal and accounting fees for the registration of the Company’s international trademarks. As part of its efforts to enhance its marketing strategy, the Company has invested in the increase of its 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 effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2008 was 40.1% versus 40.5% for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the amount of deferred tax deductions during the third quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007.
For the nine month period ended August 31, 2008, the Company had revenues of $45,409,755 and net income of $2,235,795 after provision for taxes of $1,608,756. For the nine month period ended August 31, 2007, revenues were $46,551,224 and net income was $3,835,276 after a provision for taxes of $2,784,809. Earnings per share were $0.32 (diluted) for the first three quarters of 2008 as compared to earnings of $0.54 (diluted) for the first three quarters 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 three quarters of 2008 were reduced by $3,825,525 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 $4,308,867 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 $45,746,254 for the nine month period ended August 31, 2007 to $44,836,421 for the nine month period ended August 31, 2008. Gross sales were lower in the first three quarters 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 the fourth quarter in order to offset the recent sales decline in their Mega-T diet aid sales. In addition, the Company will also be introducing a number of new SKUs to their other brands in the upcoming fourth quarter. Sales returns and allowances were 15.8% of gross sales for the nine month period ended August 31, 2008 versus 16.4% for the same period last year. Sales returns were higher, with $4,172,570 or 7.8% of gross sales for the first three quarters of 2008, versus $4,075,204 or 7.4% for the same three quarters of 2007. Gross profit margins decreased slightly to 63.2% from 63.5% for the nine months ended August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007 respectively.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
The Company’s gross sales net of returns by category for the first three quarters of 2008 were: Skin Care $15,628,657, 32.1%; Dietary Supplement $14,806,617, 30.4%; Oral Care $12,229,870 25.1%; Nail Care $5,577,687, 11.5%; Fragrance $717,508, 1.5%; and Miscellaneous $(298,389) -0.6%; for a total of $48,661,950. The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has had no substantial cost increases. Income before taxes for the first three quarters of 2008 was $3,844,551 as compared to $6,620,085 for the first three quarters of 2007. Returns and accounts receivable reserves accounted for $4,664,892 that was expensed against earnings for the nine month period ended August 31, 2008 versus $4,527,961 for the same period in 2007.
Advertising media expenditures were $7,710,677 for the nine month period ended August 31, 2008 versus $6,823,807 for the nine month period ended August 31, 2007, or an increase of $886,870. The increase in advertising expense was due to the Company continuing to work to adjust its business model by advertising on internet web sites. The increased amount was spent on Bikini Zone web advertising. 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 an increased focus on co-operative advertising, the Company has strategically allocated increased funding for the newspaper inserts. This expense increased from $207,625 in the first three quarters of 2007 to $542,441 in the first three quarters of 2008. The Company, as part of its new strategy, has redesigned portions of its web site. Web design costs that were expensed as part of advertising media expenditures for the first three quarters of 2008 were $133,615. The Company did not have any web design expenses for the first three quarters of 2007.
The selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended August 31, 2008 were $16,914,888 versus $15,250,296 for the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased charitable donations of inventory of $396,062, increased shipping costs of $301,319, increased sales commissions and selling expenses of $170,357, increased royalties of $99,576, increased computer costs of $61,348, decrease in costs allocated to costs of goods sold of $241,124, increased legal and accounting of $89,619 primarily for the registration of the Company’s international trademarks and increased personnel costs of $242,299. As part of its efforts to enhance its marketing strategy, the Company has invested in the increase of its 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. 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 14. Transaction expenses incurred during the nine month period ended August 31, 2007 were $717,850.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2008 was 41.8% versus 42.1% for the first nine months 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 August 31, 2008 consisted of current assets of $34,409,921 and current liabilities of $8,657,593, or a current ratio of 4.0 to 1. Shareholders’ equity decreased from $30,750,318 as of November 30, 2007 to $30,515,556 as of August 31, 2008. The decrease was due to dividends declared of $2,257,422 during the nine months of 2008, while net income increased $2,235,795 and unrealized income decreased $213,136.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $5,121,420 as of August 31, 2008, a decrease of $1,622,540 from November 30, 2007. The decrease was mainly due to the Company purchasing marketable securities, capital expenditures and the payment of dividends. As of August 31, 2008, the Company had $9,444,177 of short term marketable securities and $3,675,000 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 $9,583,008 as of August 31, 2008.
The Company’s cash flow from operations provided net cash of $1,188,175 for the nine months ended August 31, 2008. For the nine months ended August 31, 2007, net cash of $1,657,016 was provided by the Company’s operations.
The Company’s long term investments as of August 31, 2008 were $3,675,000. Please refer to footnote No. 7 of the financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s investments.
Accounts receivable, net of reserves, were $8,280,323 as compared to $9,119,179 for August 31, 2008 and November 30, 2007, respectively. Inventories, net of reserves, were $8,845,081 for August 31, 2008 as compared to $7,857,322 for November 30, 2007. Inventory is higher to satisfy sales and customer requirements for the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company was not utilizing any of the funds available under its $20,000,000 unsecured credit line as of August 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.” $96,530 of the Company’s $13,119,177 portfolio of investments (approximate, as at August 31, 2008) is invested in the “Common Stock” and “Other Equity” categories, and approximately $2,532,672 in that category are Preferred Stock holdings. The Company invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rates, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associates with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will incur in the near term. 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 August 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.
