NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 —BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended February 28, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2009. 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, 2008. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 three months ended February 28, 2009, dividends declared were $ 775,989 and dividends paid were in the amount of $775,989.

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 February 28, 2009. 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. Costs included in inventory are labor (including the cost of outside contract manufacturers), materials and allocated manufacturing overhead. 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:
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 February 28, 2009 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 February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 would have been $16,153,948 and $14,940,085, 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 financial reporting is to charge shipping costs as part of selling, general and administrative expense as incurred. Shipping costs included were $674,772 and $663,939 for the three months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, 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.

NOTE 3 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
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. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, Share-Based Payment of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of that method for option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have sufficient historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue the use of this method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. The adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R changes accounting for acquisitions that close beginning in 2009 in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, In-process research & development and restructuring costs. More transactions and events will qualify as business combinations and will be accounted for at fair value under the new standard. SFAS 141R promotes greater use of fair values in financial reporting. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. Some of the changes will introduce more volatility into earnings. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for any business acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (“NCI”) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 would have an impact on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non-wholly owned business acquired in the future.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3 (“FSP 142-3”), which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The FSP requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset, and is an attempt to improve consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). The statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent hierarchy for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are prepared in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. Unlike Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With GAAP” (“SAS 69”), SFAS 162 is directed to the entity rather than the auditor. The statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with GAAP,” and is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In June 2008, FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“EITF 03-6-1”). Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two — class method of computing EPS. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

NOTE 3 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3 (“FSP FAS 157-3”) which clarifies the application of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”) in regard to fair value measurements of financial assets in a market that is not active. FSP FAS 142-3 became effective October 10, 2008 for all subsequent reporting periods. The adoption of this staff position has had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 (“FSP FAS 107-1”) and APB 28-1 (“APB 28-1”), which amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments and APB Opinion NO. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this staff position will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4 (“FSP FAS 157-4”), which provides additional guidance in accordance with FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has not determined the impact of its adoption of this staff position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 (“FSP FAS 115-2”) and FASB Staff Position No. 124-2 (“FSP FAS 124-2”), which amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt and equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2 shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has not determined the impact of its adoption of this staff position.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Bank certificates of deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for the full balance under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. The Company maintains accounts with several brokerage firms. The accounts contain cash and securities. Balances are insured up to $500,000 (with a limit of $100,000 for cash) by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
The Company had, at February 28, 2009, an auction rate bond issued by the New Jersey State Higher Education Assistance Authority (“NJHE”). The bond was recorded as non-current marketable securities. 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 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 February 28, 2009, 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, resulting in further market deterioration, the Company may be required to recognize further impairment charges. In addition, if there are any further ratings downgrades, or if the Company no longer has the ability to hold these investments, the Company may have further impairment charges.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157) as of December 1, 2007, which expands disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair market value. SFAS No. 157 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuations techniques utilized to measure fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability that the reporting entity has ability to access at measurement date.
Level 2 — Quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and where fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 — Unobserved inputs for the asset or liability. Fair value is determined by the reporting entity’s own assumptions utilizing the best information available, and includes situations where there is little market activity for the investment.
All of the Company’s investments as of February 28, 2009 would be categorized as Level 1 in respect to the methodology utilized to determine fair market value, with the exception of the NJHE bond, referenced above, which is categorized as Level 3.
The following table discloses a reconciliation of the NJHE bond Level 3 investment at measured fair value during the quarter ended February 28, 2009:

Beginning Balance as of December 1, 2008 | | $ | 460,000 | |

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 February 28, 2009, the Company had revenues of $14,944,466 and net income of $124,366 after provision for taxes of $152,369. For the same three month period in 2007, revenues were $13,871,040 and net income was $ 343,683 after a provision for taxes of $ 183,784. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.02 for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to fully diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for the first quarter of 2008. 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 quarter of 2009 were reduced by $ 1,395,098 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 $1,300,939 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 increased $1,119,704 from $13,639,146 for the three-month period ended February 29, 2008 to $14,758,850 for the three-month period ended February 28, 2009. Sales incentives for the first quarter of 2009 increased $86,532 from the first quarter of 2008. Net sales were higher primarily due to the successful introduction of new products that increased sales of the Mega-T diet and Sudden Change skin care brands, despite a decrease in sales of Plus White oral care products. The Company previously disclosed in Form 8-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2009, that Wal-Mart had advised the Company, due to the slow down in the economy it will only carry the leading brands in their oral care sections, and as a result will no longer be purchasing the company’s Plus+White® oral care products brand. Wal-Mart began decreasing its orders of Plus White products during the first quarter of 2009. Sales returns and allowances were 16.4% of gross sales for the three-month period ended February 28, 2009 versus 15.6% for the same period last year. This was a result of higher sales returns, with $1,301,476 or 7.4% of gross sales for the first quarter of 2009, versus $866,495 or 5.4% for the first quarter of 2008. Returns were higher due in part to discontinued products. As part of the Company’s brand strategies, products are constantly reviewed, with new products introduced and non-performing ones discontinued. Gross profit margins decreased to 61.9% from 64.1% for the three months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 respectively. The gross margin was affected by the higher level of returns in the first quarter of 2009 versus the same period in 2008. In addition the cost of goods was higher in the first quarter of 2009 versus the same period in 2008, primarily due to higher fuel prices which affected the cost of components.
The Company’s net sales by category for the first quarter of 2009 were: Dietary Supplement $6,264,792, 42.5%; Skin Care $3,721,422, 25.2%; Oral Care $2,829,206, 19.2%; Nail Care $1,687,518, 11.4%; Analgesic $167,053, 1.1%; Fragrance, $96,468, .6% and Hair Care and Miscellaneous ($7,609), 0.0%; for a total of $14,758,850.

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
The Company makes every effort to control the cost of manufacturing and has had no substantial cost increases. Income before taxes is $276,735 for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $527,467 for the same quarter in 2008. Returns and accounts receivable reserves accounted for $1,354,962 that was expensed against earnings for the first quarter of 2009 as opposed to $1,069,415 that was expensed for the same period in 2008. The increase in the expense resulting from the increase in accounts receivable reserve is mainly due to the timing of the Company’s sales.
Advertising media expenditures were $3,559,279 in the first quarter of 2009 versus $2,531,150 in the same period in 2008, or an increase of $1,028,129. The higher advertising in 2009 versus 2008 was due primarily to increased media and retailer co-operative advertising. This increase was a continuation of an advertising program begun in the fourth quarter of 2008 to introduce some of the Company’s new products into the marketplace. 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 selling, general and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $5,315,097 versus $5,682,551 in the first quarter 2008, or a decrease of $367,454. This was due in part to a reduction of $249,446 in donations of inventory by the Company to charitable organizations, as well as management’s efforts to reduce general overhead costs. The full effect of management’s overhead reductions will be seen in the second quarter of 2009.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 was 55.05% versus 34.8% for the first quarter of 2008. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the amount of non-deductible expenses and adjustments during the quarter ended February 28, 2009 versus the quarter ended February 29, 2008. Non-deductible expenses and adjustments include the timing difference of depreciation expense on the Company’s books versus the income tax return which also resulted in a decrease in the long term deferred tax asset.
The Company’s financial position as of February 28, 2009 consisted of current assets of $35,589,584 and current liabilities of $12,364,113, or a current ratio of 2.9 to 1. Shareholders’ equity decreased from $28,253,879 as of November 30, 2008 to $26,803,531 as of February 28, 2009. The decrease was due to dividends declared of $775,989 during the first quarter of 2009, while net income increased $124,366 and unrealized losses increased $798,726. The increase in unrealized losses was mainly due to the change in the market price of the preferred stock investments.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $1,443,651 as of February 28, 2009, a decrease of $7,491,048 from November 30, 2008. Included in this decrease was the purchase of bank certificates of deposit in the amount of $4,658,000, which are fully guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and which have been classified as short term investments due to market fluctuations which can affect the value if redeemed early. All of these certificates of deposit will mature during the 2009 fiscal year, and the Company fully intends to hold them until maturity. The certificates are from a number of banks; with no one certificate exceeding the $250,000 FDIC limit per institution.

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) |
The overall cash decrease was also due to capital expenditures, the payment of dividends and increased working capital needs. As of February 28, 2009, the Company had $11,244,511 of short term marketable securities and $2,197,994 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 $2,522,043 as of February 28, 2009.
The Company’s cash flow from operations utilized net cash of $2,085,688 for the three months ended February 28, 2009. Working capital requirements had increased due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory during the first quarter of 2009, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The Company’s long term investments as of February 28, 2009 were $2,197,994. Please refer to footnote No. 7 of the financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s investments.
Accounts receivable, net of reserves, were $11,286,798 as compared to $8,230,716 as of February 28, 2009 and November 30, 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable were higher due to the timing of the Company’s sales in the first quarter of 2009 versus the fourth quarter of 2008. Inventories, net of reserves, were $8,442,643 as of February 28, 2009 as compared to $7,932,798 as of November 30, 2008. Inventory was higher to satisfy sales and customer requirements for the second quarter of 2009. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased to $11,529,155 as of February 28, 2009 from $10,182,511 as of November 30, 2008. The Company was not utilizing any of the funds available under its $20,000,000 unsecured credit line as of February 28, 2009. Please see Footnote No. 10 for further information.
