NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial state-

ments have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted ac-

counting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accord-
ingly, 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 nine
month period ended August 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30,
2003. 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, 2002.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

CCA Industries, Inc. ("CCA") was incorporated in the State of Dela-
ware on March 25, 1983.

CCA manufactures and distributes health and beauty aid products.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCA and

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates:

The consolidated financial statements include the use of estimates,
which management believes are reasonable. The process of preparing
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles 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.

Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:

Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of corporate
and government bonds and equity securities. The Company has classi-
fied its investments as Available-for-Sale securities. Accordingly,
such investments are reported at fair market value, with the resul
tant unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.

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.

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 obsolescence 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 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 7-10 Years
Furniture and fixtures 5-7 Years
Tools, dies and masters 2-7 Years
Transportation equipment 7 Years
Leasehold improvements 7-10 Years or life
of lease, whichever is
shorter

Intangible Assets:

Intangible assets are stated at cost. Patents and trademarks are
amortized on the straight-line method over a period of 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 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.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Earnings Per Common Share:

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" in 1998. 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 average number of common shares out
standing plus the effect of outstanding stock options using the
"treasury stock method" and convertible debentures using the "if-
converted" method. Common stock equivalents consist of stock op-
tions.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company recognizes net 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 Com-
pany, therefore, records a reserve for returns equal to its gross
profit on its historical percentage of returns on its last five
months sales.

Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable with credit balances have been included as a
current liability in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in
the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible
accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are presented net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $750,180 and $695,824 as of August
31, 2003 and November 30, 2002, 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 $2,302,746 and $1,605,771 for the nine months
ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Comprehensive Income:

The Company adopted SFAS #130, Comprehensive Income, which considers
the Company's financial performance in that it includes all changes
in equity during the period from transactions and events from non-
owner sources.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
2003 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 $1,253,588 is
accordingly reflected in the balance sheet for the interim period.
This deferral is the result of the Company's $8,000,000 media budget
and $5,000,000 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 - SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

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 10 lawsuits alleging
that the plaintiffs were injured as a result of their purchasing and
ingesting a diet suppressant containing phenylpropanolamine (PPA),
which the Company utilized as its active ingredient in its products
prior to November 2000. The lawsuits brought against the Company are
for unspecified amounts of compensatory and exemplary damages.

The Company is insured for three of the 10 cases. CCA has not
renewed the product liability policy covering possible additional
lawsuits that might commence against the Company in connection with
PPA. Outside counsel has advised CCA that as a general matter the
PPA cases are defensible, and the Company plans to vigorously defend
its positions. However, there can be no assurances the current PPA
litigations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations.

Dividends

In January 2003, the Company announced its first dividend of $0.12
per share payable to all holders of the Company's common stock, $0.06
payable to shareholders of record on April 1, 2003 and $0.06 payable
to shareholders of record on November 1, 2003.

CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

(UNAUDITED)



For the three month period ended August 31, 2003, the Company had
revenues of $12,852,537 and net income of $1,287,125 after a provision for
taxes of $713,375. Last year, for the August 31 quarter, the Company had
$11,511,314 of revenue and net income of $722,822. This represents a 12% and
78% improvement in revenues and net income, respectively Gross margins
decreased slightly from 68.7% to 68.4%. Selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses increased to $4,195,547 from $4,039,125, as a result of an
increase in staff and sales commissions.

For the three month period ending August 2003, advertising, cooperative
and promotional allowance expenditures were $2.40 million. Last year, for the
same three-month period ending August 31, 2002, they were $2.54 million.
Advertising expenditures were 18.9% of sales compared to 22.3% 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 proportion
ately over the interim periods based on its total expected costs per its
various advertising programs. Consequently, a deferral of $.7 million for
media expense and $.55 million for co-op expenditures for the nine month
period is reflected in the balance sheet. The Company deferred $.770 million
of media costs in the prior year for the nine-month period. The deferral is
the result of the Company's current $8.0 million media budget for the entire
year, which is predicated on substantially lower spending in the third and
fourth quarters. Co-op expenditures are budgeted at $5.0 million for the
year. Specifically, the Company spent $6.7 million for media advertising in
the nine months and $4.3 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, 2003, the Company had revenue
of $42,978,569 and a net income of $4,444,846 after a provision for income
taxes of $2,844,562. In the prior year's period, the Company had revenues of
$35,070,855 and net income of $2,240,871 after a provision for income taxes
of $1,507,873. Gross profit margins for the nine-month period ending August
31, 2003 increased from 66.3% in the prior year to 67.6%.

For the nine month period ended August 2003, advertising, cooperative and
promotional allowance expenditures were $7,760,818 as compared to $7,658,588
for the nine-month period ending August 31, 2002. The company budgeted a
national advertising expenditure for the current year at 8 million up from 7.5
million and budgeted co-op and promotions from 4 million to 5 million allo
cated over the current fiscal year. The co-op and promotions allowances
increase 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. Advertising expenditures were 18.2% of sales vs 22% last
year.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

(UNAUDITED)





For the nine-month period ending August 31, 2003, research and develop
ment expenses were $661,250 compared to $412,264 last year.

The Company's financial position as of August 31, 2003 consists of
current assets of $22,500,095 and current liabilities of $7,725,929. In
addition, shareholders' equity increased from $18,835,423 at November 30, 2002
to $22,810,899 at August 31,2003 primarily due to net income earned during the
period.

The Company generated $3,097,188 in cash from operations primarily due to
the nine month net income of $4.44 million, and an increase in taxes payable
and decrease in deferred taxes of $1.3 million, partially reversed by a $2.04
million seasonal increase in deferred costs and accounts receivable of
$625,000.

used to pay dividends of $371,000, acquisition of fixed assets of $293,000 and
