cial 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 re-
quired by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of manage-
ment, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the nine month
period ended August 31, 2004 are not necessarily indica-
tive of the results that may be expected for the year
ended November 30, 2004. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended November 30, 2003.

NOTE 3 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of con-
tingent assets and liabilities at the date of the finan-
cial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
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.
The Company has cash balances in excess of the maximum
amount insured by the FDIC as of August 31, 2004.
Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:
Short-term investments and marketable securities consist
of corporate and government bonds and equity securities.
The Company has classified its investments as Available-
for-Sale securities. Accordingly, such investments are
reported at fair market value, with the resultant unreal
ized gains and losses reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market.
Product returns are recorded in inventory when they are
received at the lower of their original cost or market,
as appropriate. Obsolete inventory is written off and
its value is removed from inventory at the time its obso-
lescence is determined.

NOTE 3 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company
charges to expense repairs and maintenance items, while
major improvements and betterments are capitalized. When
the Company sells or otherwise disposes of property and
equipment items, the cost and related accumulated depre-
ciation are removed from the respective accounts and any
gain or loss is included in earnings.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives or lease terms of the assets:
Machinery and equipment 5-7 Years
Furniture and fixtures 3-10 Years
Tools, dies and masters 3 Years
Transportation equipment 5 Years
Leasehold improvements Remaining life of the lease
(ranging from 1-9 years)
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Patents and trade
marks are amortized on the straight-line method over a
period of 15-17 years.
Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered
financial instruments approximate their respective fair
value.
Income Taxes:
Income tax expense includes federal and state taxes
currently payable and deferred taxes arising from tempo-
rary 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 earnings per share is calculated using the average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the
basis of the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options
using the "treasury stock method" and convertible deben-
tures using the "if-converted" method. Common stock
equivalents consist of stock options.

NOTE 3 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of merchan-
dise. Net sales are comprised of gross sales less ex-
pected 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 custom-
ers. The Company, therefore, records a reserve for re -
turns equal to its gross profit on its historical per-
centage of returns on its last five months sales.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded
at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance
for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally
extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do
not bear interest, although a finance charge may be ap-
plied 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.
Accounts receivable with credit balances have been
included as a current liability in "Accounts payable and
accrued liabilities" in the accompanying balance sheet.
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $278,449 and $549,851 as of August
31, 2004 and November 30, 2003, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
The Company presents shipping and handling costs as part
of selling, general and administrative expense and not as
part of cost of sales. Freight costs were $2,113,035,and
$2,302,746 for the nine months ended August 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively.
Comprehensive Income:
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB"), Statement on Financial Accounting
Standard No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", the
Company is required to report comprehensive income in
addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive
income is a more inclusive financial reporting
methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial
information that historically has not been recognized in
the calculation of net income.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 2004 presentation.

NOTE 7 - DEFERRED ADVERTISING
In accordance with APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting,
the Company expenses its advertising and related costs
proportionately over the interim periods based on its
total expected costs per its various advertising
programs. Consequently a deferral of $1,930,556 is
accordingly reflected in the balance sheet for the
interim period. This deferral is the result of the
Company's $10 million media budget and $5.5 million co-op
budget for the year which contemplates lower spending in
the 4th quarter than in the other three quarters.
The table below sets forth the calculation:

NOTE 10 - NOTES PAYABLE AND SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company has an available line of credit of
$10,000,000. Interest is calculated at the Company's
option, either on the outstanding balance at prime rate
minus 1% or Libor plus 150 basis points. The line of
credit is unsecured and the Company must adhere to
certain financial covenants pertaining to net worth and
debt coverage. The Company was not utilizing their
available credit line at August 31, 2004 or November 30,
2003.
On August 1, 2000, the Company repurchased (pursuant to a
tender offer) 278,328 shares of its outstanding common
stock by issuing subordinated debentures equal to $2 per
share, which accrue interest at 6% and are due to mature
on August 1, 2005. The interest is payable semi-
annually.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company has been named as a defendant in 13 lawsuits
alleging that the plaintiffs were injured as a result of
their purchasing and ingesting our diet suppressant
containing phenylpropanolamine (PPA), which the Company
utilized as its active ingredient in its products prior
to November 2000. The lawsuits that were brought against
the Company are were for unspecified amounts of
compensatory and exemplary damages. Eleven of the suits
have been dismissed with prejudice. Outside counsel for
the Company believes that the two PPA cases still pending
against the Company are defensible. Of the Company's two
pending suits, there is a motion pending for the
dismissal of one and the other is insured by the
Company's liability carrier who is defending the case in
order to obtain a decision of dismissal on the merits.
Dividends
CCA declared a cash dividend of $0.14 per share payable
to all holders of the Company's common stock, $0.07 to
shareholders of record on May 1, 2004 payable on June 1,
2004 and $0.07 to shareholders of record on November 1,
2004, payable on December 1, 2004.
On June 17, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a 2%
stock dividend payable on December 1, 2004 to
shareholders of record on November 1, 2004.

NOTE 12 - PENSION PLANS
The Company has adopted a 401(K) Profit Sharing Plan that
covers union and non-union employees with over one year
of service and attained Age 21. Employees may make
salary reduction contributions up to twenty-five percent
of compensation not to exceed the federal government
limits.
NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee
compensation under the recognition and measurement
principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, when the
exercise price of stock options equals the market price
of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated
statement of operations.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company issued
incentive stock options to purchase 66,600 shares and
non-qualified stock options to purchase 33,400 shares
under the 2003 stock option plan. Under the provisions
of APB No. 25, no compensation expense has been, or will
be, recognized in the consolidated statement of
operations.
Proforma net income and net income per share, as required
by SFAS No. 123, have been determined as if we had
accounted for all employee stock options granted under
SFAS No. 123's fair value method. The proforma effect of
recognizing compensation expense in accordance with SFAS
No. 123 is as follows:

NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)
Proforma information regarding net income and net income
per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of
SFAS No. 123. The fair value of these options were
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions for
the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2004: a
risk-free interest rate of 3.78% and 4.73%; dividend
yield of 1.68% and 1.55%; volatility factor of the
expected market price of the Company's common stock of
20.32% and 9.74%; and a weighted average life of the
options of five or ten years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed
for use in estimating the fair value of traded options
which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models
require the input of highly subjective assumptions.
Because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of
traded options and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the
fair value of its employee stock options.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the three-month period ended August 31, 2004, the Company
had revenues of $16,696,391 and net income of $1,457,230 after a
provision for taxes of $957,251. The Company increased its
advertising budget by $750,000 for the quarter over and above its
estimated merchandising and media expenses that it had contemplated
at the beginning of the year. Last year, for the August 31
quarter, the Company had $12,852,537 of revenue and net income of
$1,287,125. This represents a 30% and 13% improvement in revenues
and net income, respectively. Gross margins decreased slightly
from 68.4% to 67.3%. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses increased to $4,739,038 from $4,195,547, as a result of an
increase in staff and sales commissions.
For the three month period ending August 2004, advertising,
cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures were $3.90
million. Last year, for the same three-month period ending August
31, 2003, they were $2.40 million. Advertising expenditures were
23.8% of sales compared to 18.9% last year. Since both co-op
advertising and promotions have a material effect on the Company's
operation, the Company attempts to anticipate its advertising and
promotional commitments as a percent of gross sales in order to
control its effect on its net income. In accordance with APB No.
28, Interim Financial Reporting, the Company expenses its
advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
periods based on its total expected cost per its various
advertising programs. Consequently, a deferral of $1.5 million for
media expense and $0.4 million for co-op expenditures for the nine
month period is reflected in the balance sheet. The Company
deferred $0.7 million of media costs in the prior year for the
nine-month period. The deferral is the result of the Company's
final current year's $10.0 million media budget which was amended
from $9 million on August 2, 2004 for the entire current year.
These deferrals were predicated on substantially lower spending in
the third and fourth quarters. Co-op expenditures are budgeted at
$5.5 million for the year. Specifically, the Company spent $9.0
million for media advertising in the nine months and $4.6 million
for co-op advertising. The difference between the actual expense
and the budgeted expense is deferred or accrued over the subsequent
three month period, and by the end of the year will be fully
expensed.
For the nine month period ended August 31, 2004, the Company
had revenue of $48,123,126 and a net income of $5,091,575 after a
provision for income taxes of $3,327,895. In the prior year's
period, the Company had revenues of $42,978,569 and net income of
$4,444,846 after a provision for income taxes of $2,844,562. Gross
profit margins for the nine-month period ending August 31, 2004
decreased from 67.6% in the prior year to 66.2%.
For the nine month period ended August 2004, advertising,
cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures were $9,819,958
as compared to $7,760,818 for the nine-month period ending August
31, 2003. The Company budgeted a national advertising expenditure
for the current year at $10 million up from $8 million the prior
year and budgeted co-op and promotions from $5 million to $5.5
million allocated over the current fiscal year. The co-op and
promotion allowance increases were partially reversed by co-op
advertising credits previously accrued in the prior year not taken
by our customers because the proposed promotion did not consummate.
The reversed credits were allocated over the current fiscal year.
Current advertising expenditures were 20.6% of sales versus 18.2%
last year.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(UNAUDITED)
For the nine-month period ending August 31, 2004, research and
development expenses were $666,755 compared to $661,250 last year.
The Company's financial position as of August 31, 2004
consists of current assets of $24,820,793 and current liabilities
of $8,226,905 or a current ratio of 3:1. In addition,
shareholders' equity increased from $23,344,540 to $27,338,628
primarily due to net income earned during the period.
All of the Company's investments are classified as available
for sale. Investments with a maturity date greater than one year
from August 31, 2004 are presented as long-term investments.
Assuming these long-term investments can be sold and turned into
liquid assets at any time, it would result in a current ratio of
4.2:1.
The Company generated $2.5 million in cash from operations due
to the nine month net income of $5.09 million, a $1.4 million
increase in accounts payable, a $700,000 net increase in income taxes
due and a decrease in prepaid income taxes of $237,000, and $420,000
non-cash expenses included in net income. Cash decreased due to an
inventory increase of $0.8 million, an increase in the Company's
accounts receivable of $2.7 million, and an increase in deferred
advertising of $1.9 million. All increases in deferred advertising,
accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable are "normal"
seasonal increases.
The $2.5 million cash generated by operations, however, was
partially used to pay dividends of $891,000, and for the
acquisition of equipment of $108,000. The Company paid after
netting purchases and sales of marketable securities $57,000,
leaving the Company with $1.46 million increase in cash.
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". $465,284 of the Company's $13,592,807 portfolio of
investments (approximate, as at August 31, 2004) is invested in the
"Common Stock" and "Other Equity" categories, and approximately
$1,176,952 in that category are Preferred Stock holdings. Whereas
the Company does not take positions or engage in transactions in
risk-sensitive market instruments in any substantial degree, nor as
defined by SEC rules and instructions; therefore, the Company does
not believe that its investment-market risk is material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, management has carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of August 31, 2004.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) subsequent to the date the controls were
evaluated that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
