BUSINESS Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements PART I This annual report contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations of management that involve risks and uncertainty. Actual risks could differ materially from those anticipated. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known may possibly impair business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, the business, financial conditions and operating results could be materially adversely affected. The cautionary statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10K should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements whenever they appear in this Annual Report. (a) General CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. (hereinafter, “CCA” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1983. The Company operates in one industry segment, in what may be generally described as the health-and-beauty aids business, selling numerous products in several health-and-beauty aids and cosmeceutical categories. All of the Company’s products are manufactured by contract manufacturers, pursuant to the Company’s specifications and formulations. The Company owns registered trademarks, or exclusive licenses to use registered trademarks, that identify its products by brand-name. Under most of the brand names, the Company markets several different but categorically-related products. The principal brand and trademark names include “Plus+White” (oral health-care products), “Sudden Change” (skin-care products), “Nutra Nail” and “Power Gel” (nail treatments), “Bikini Zone” (pre and after-shave products), “Mega — T” Green Tea (dietary products), “Mega — T” chewing gum (anti-oxidant dietary product), “Hair Off” (depilatories), “IPR” (foot-care products), “Solar Sense” (sun-care products), “Wash ‘N Curl” (shampoos), “Cherry Vanilla” and other Vanilla fragrances (perfumes), Pain Bust*R II (topical analgesic) and “Scar Zone” (scar diminishing cream). All Company products are marketed and sold to major drug, food chains, mass merchandisers and wholesale beauty aids distributors throughout the United States. In addition, certain of the Company’s products are sold internationally, through distributors or directly. The Company recognizes sales at the time its products are shipped to customers. However, while sales are not formally subject to any contract contingency, returns are accepted if it is in the best interests of the Company’s relationship with the customer. The Company thus estimates ‘unit returns’ based upon a review of the market’s recent-historical acceptance of subject products as well as current market-expectations, and equates its reserves for estimated returns based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the five preceding months, adjusting for returns that can be put back into inventory, and a specific reserve based on customer circumstances, (See Revenue Recognition in Note 2 of the Financial Statements). Of course, there can be no precise going-forward assurance in respect to return rates and gross margins, and in the event of a significant increase in the rate of returns, the circumstance could have a materially adverse affect upon the Company’s operations. - 1 - The Company’s net sales in fiscal 2009 were $ 57,001,999. Gross profits were $35,151,424. International sales accounted for approximately 5.6 % of sales. The Company had a net profit of $3,431,644 for fiscal 2009. Net worth at November 30, 2009 was $ 30,219,848. Including the principal members of management (see Directors and Executive Officers), the Company, at November 30, 2009, had 140 sales, administrative, creative, accounting, receiving, and warehouse personnel in its employ. (b) Manufacturing and Shipping The Company creates and/or oversees formulations, chooses colors and mixtures, and arranges with independent contractors for the manufacture of its products pursuant to Company specifications. Manufacturing and component-supply arrangements are maintained with various manufacturers and suppliers. All orders and other product shipments are delivered from the Company’s own warehouse facilities, which results in more effective inventory control, more efficient shipping procedures, and the realization of related economies. (c) Marketing The Company markets its products to major drug, food and mass-merchandise retail chains, warehouse clubs and leading wholesalers, through an in-house sales force of employees and independent sales representatives throughout the United States, and through distributors internationally. The Company sells its products to approximately 420 accounts, most of which have numerous outlets. Approximately 40,000 stores carry at least one Company product (SKU). During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009, the Company’s largest customers were Wal-Mart (approximately 36% of net sales), Walgreens (approximately 14%), CVS (approximately 7%), Rite Aid (approximately 6%), and Dolgencorp (approximately 4%). The loss of any of these principal customers, or substantial reduction of sales revenues realized from their business, could materially and negatively affect the Company’s earnings. Most of the Company’s products are not particularly susceptible to seasonal-sales fluctuation. However, sales of depilatory, sun-care and diet-aids products customarily peak in the spring and summer months, while fragrance-product sales customarily peak in the Fall and Winter months. - 2 - The Company employs brand managers who are responsible for the marketing of CCA’s brands. These managers work with the Company’s in-house advertising and art departments to create media advertising, packaging and point — of — purchase displays. The Company primarily utilizes local and national television advertisements to promote its leading brands. On occasion, print and radio advertisements are engaged. In addition, and more-or-less continuously, store-centered product promotions are co-operatively undertaken with customers. Each of the Company’s brand-name products is intended to attract a particular demographic segment of the consumer market, and advertising campaigns are directed to the respective market-segments. The Company’s in-house advertising department is responsible for the selection of its media advertising. Placement is accomplished either directly or through media-service companies. (d) “Wholly-Owned” Products The majority of the Company’s sales revenues are from sales of the Company’s “wholly-owned” product lines (i.e., products sold under trademark names owned by the Company, and not subject to any other party’s interest or license), which include principally “Plus+White”, “Sudden Change”, “Wash ‘N Curl”, “Bikini Zone”, “Mega -T”, “Cherry Vanilla”, and “Scar Zone”. (e) All Products The Company’s gross sales net of returns by category percentage were: Dietary Supplements 42%; Skin Care 28%; Oral Care 16%; Nail Care 10%; Fragrance 3%, Analgesic 1%; and Hair Care and Miscellaneous 0%. (f) License-Agreements Products i. Alleghany Pharmacal In 1986, the Company entered into a license agreement with Alleghany Pharmacal Corporation (the “Alleghany Pharmacal License”). The Alleghany Pharmacal License agreement provides that if, and when, in the aggregate, $9,000,000 in royalties had been paid thereunder, the royalty-rate for those products ‘charged’ at 6% would be reduced to 1%. The Company paid an aggregate of $9,000,000 in royalties to Allegheny as of April 2003. Commencing May 1, 2003, the license royalty was reduced to 1%. The Company incurred royalties totaling $96,769 to Alleghany Pharmacal for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. - 3 - ii. Solar Sense, Inc. CCA commenced the marketing of its sun-care products line following a May 1998 License Agreement with Solar Sense, Inc. (the “Solar Sense License”), pursuant to which it acquired the exclusive right to use the trademark names “Solar Sense” and “Kids Sense” and the exclusive right to market mark-associated products. The Solar Sense License requires the Company to pay a royalty of 5% on net sales of said licensed products until $1 million total royalties are paid, at which time the royalty rate will be reduced to 1% for a period of twenty-five years. The Company incurred royalties of $38,607 to Solar Sense, Inc. for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. iii. The Nail Consultants Ltd. In October of 1999, the Company entered into a License Agreement with The Nail Consultants, Ltd. for the use of an activator invented in connection with a method for applying a protective covering to fingernails. The Company’s License Agreement with The Nail Consultants, Ltd. is for the use of the method and its composition in a new product kit packaged and marketed by CCA under its own name, “Nutra Nail Power Gel”. The Company is required to pay a royalty of 5% of net sales of all products sold under the license, by the Company. The Company incurred royalties totaling $7,280 to The Nail Consultants, Ltd. for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. iv. Dr. Stephen Hsu — Green Tea Stephen Hsu, PhD., research faculty member of the Medical College of Georgia, entered into an agreement with the Company on February 26, 2004, to create green tea skin care products based on his years of research related to the various uses of green tea anti-oxidants for skin care problems. Dr. Hsu is entitled to a commission of 3% on the net factory sales of all of the Company’s products using the green tea serum created exclusively for the Company. The Company incurred commissions totaling $80,832 to Dr. Hsu for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. v. Tea-Guard Inc. On May 18, 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with Tea-Guard, Inc. to manufacture and distribute Mega -T Green Tea chewing gum and Mega -T Green Tea mints. The license agreement required the Company to pay a royalty of 6% of net sales for the products sold under the license agreement. The license agreement was amended on March 31, 2009, granting the Company a non-exclusive license, with no minimum royalty required. The royalty rate of 6% of net sales will remain unchanged during the term, including any renewal terms, of the amended license agreement. The Company commenced sales of the Mega -T Green Tea Chewing Gum in July 2004. The Company incurred royalties to Tea-Guard, Inc. totaling $36,586 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. - 4 - vi. Continental Quest Corp. Effective November 3, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Continental Quest Corp., to purchase certain United States trademarks and inventory relating to the Pain Bust*R II business for $285,106 paid at closing. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a royalty equal to 2% of net sales of all Pain Bust*R II products, which are topical analgesics, until an aggregate royalty of $1,250,000 is paid, at which time the royalty payments will cease. The Company incurred royalties to Continental Quest Corp. totaling $12,301 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. vii. Joann Bradvica On March 22, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Joann Bradvica, granting the Company an exclusive license to manufacture and sell an Earlobe Patch Support for Earrings. The agreement provided for a royalty of 10% of net sales of the licensed product. A new agreement was entered into and effective on June 8, 2009 at the same royalty rate, and provides for a minimum royalty of $40,000 for annual periods beginning July 1, 2009 in order to maintain the license. The Company incurred royalties of $37,392 to Joann Bradvica for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. viii. LaRosa Innovations, LLC On March 14, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with LaRosa Innovation, LLC, granting the Company an exclusive license to manufacture and sell Instant Arm Lifts and Instant Thigh Lifts. The agreement provides for a royalty of 5% of net sales until the Licensor receives $5,000,000 in aggregate royalties, at which time the royalty rate shall be reduced to 1% of net sales. The license agreement provides for a minimum royalty of $150,000 for the first eighteen month period of the agreement, and $150,000 per year thereafter in order to maintain the license. The Company incurred royalties of $21,026 to LaRosa Innovations, LLC for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009, representing a portion of the initial eighteen-month minimum royalty period. ix. Other Licenses The Company is not party to any other license agreement that is currently material to its operations. (g) Trademarks The Company’s own trademarks and licensed-use trademarks serve to identify its products and proprietary interests. The Company considers these marks to be valuable assets. However, there can be no assurance, as a practical matter, that trademark registration results in marketplace advantages, or that the presumptive rights acquired by registration will necessarily and precisely protect the presumed exclusivity and asset value of the marks. - 5 - (h) Competition The market for cosmetics and perfumes, and health-and-beauty aids products in general, including patent medicines, is characterized by vigorous competition among producers, many of whom have substantially greater financial, technological and marketing resources than the Company. Major competitors such as Revlon, L’Oreal, Colgate, Coty, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble have Fortune 500 status, and the broadest-based public recognition of their products. Moreover, a substantial number of other health-and-beauty aids manufacturers and distributors may also have greater resources than the Company. (i) Government Regulation All of the products that the Company markets are subject or potentially subject to particular regulation by government agencies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, and various state and/or local regulatory bodies. In the event that any future regulations were to require new approval for any in-the-market products, or should require approval for any planned product, the Company would attempt to obtain the necessary approval and/or license, assuming reasonable and sufficient market expectations for the subject product. However, there can be no assurance, in the absence of particular circumstances that Company efforts in respect of any future regulatory requirements would result in approvals and issuance of licenses. Moreover, if such license-requirement circumstances should arise, delays inherent in any application-and- approval process, as well as any refusal to approve, could have a material adverse affect upon existing operations (i.e. concerning in-the-market products) or planned operations. Item 2. PROPERTY The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 200 Murray Hill Parkway, East Rutherford, New Jersey. Under a net lease, the Company occupies approximately 58,625 square feet of space. Approximately 43,598 square feet in such premises is used for warehousing and 15,027 square feet for offices. The annual rental is $390,835, with an annual CPI increase not cumulatively exceeding 15% in any consecutive five year period. The lease expires on May 31, 2012 with a renewal option at fair market value for an additional five years. The lease requires the Company to pay for additional expenses, Common Area Maintenance (“CAM”), which includes real estate taxes, common area expense, utility expense, repair and maintenance expense and insurance expense. For the year ended November 30, 2009, CAM was estimated at $150,000. On September 26, 2007, the Company entered into an additional lease for warehouse space with Ninth Avenue Equities Co., Inc. for four and a half years commencing November 1, 2007. The premises comprise 16,438 square feet of space. The Company is obligated to pay maintenance which includes but is not limited to real estate taxes and all other common area expenses. The annual rental is $123,285. For the year ended November 30, 2009, CAM was $29,988. - 6 - Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On September 30, 2009 the Company was served with a class action suit Denise Wally v. CCA Industries, Inc. The claim, which did not specify any damages, was filed in the Superior Court, State of California, County of Los Angeles, alleging false and misleading claims about the Company’s weight loss dietary supplement products sold in California in violation of the California Business and Professional Code. The Company believes that the allegations are without any merit and intends to vigorously defend the case. However, there can be no assurance that our position will be upheld. There is no other significant litigation presently outstanding against the Company. Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On June 24, 2009, the Company held its annual meeting of shareholders. The actions taken, and the voting resulting thereupon, were as follows: (1) David Edell, Ira W. Berman, Jack Polak and Stanley Kreitman were elected as directors by the holders of the Class A Common stock. The Class A Common Stock shareholders have the right to elect four members of the Board of Directors. No proxy was solicited therefore, whereas Messrs.

Mastrian and Robert Lage were elected as directors by the holders of the Common stock.

Overview Net Income for the year ended November 30, 2009 was $3,431,644, an increase of $2,018,758 or 142.9% over the net income of $1,412,886 for the year ended November 30, 2008. Earnings per share, fully diluted were $0.49 for the year ended November 30, 2009 as compared to $0.20 for the year ended November 30, 2008. The Company had net cash provided by operations of $3,905,182 for the year ended November 30, 2009 versus $3,229,899 for the year ended November 30, 2008. Comprehensive income was $4,223,391 for fiscal 2009 as opposed to $536,972 for fiscal 2008. The Company had current assets of $35,443,441 and current liabilities of $9,469,873 at November 30, 2009. Retained earnings increased to $28,094,783 at November 30, 2009 from $26,920,561 at November 30, 2008. There was no change in the number of outstanding shares at November 30, 2009 as compared to November 30, 2008. Comparison of Results for Fiscal Years 2009 and 2008 For the year ended November 30, 2009, the Company had revenues of $57,672,164, and net income of $3,431,644, after a provision of $2,178,480 for taxes. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Company had revenues of $57,457,946, and net income of $1,412,886, after a provision of $1,053,513 for taxes. Other income declined $46,648, primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher dividend income and realized gains on the sales of investments. Fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2009 were $0.49 as compared to $0.20 for fiscal 2008. - 11 - The Company’s net sales increased to $57,001,999 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 from $56,741,133 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008. Gross sales were higher primarily in the diet and fragrance categories, and lower primarily in the oral care category. Sales returns and allowances were 11.6% of gross sales for fiscal 2009 versus 11.4% in fiscal 2008. In 2008 the Company had $321,070 of returns, primarily in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008, due to the discontinuance of Pound-X, a dietary supplement launched in the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales returns and allowances were higher in 2009 in part due to the Company’s continued expanded use of coupons. The coupon expense, charged against sales allowances, increased to $1,346,737 in fiscal 2009 from $884,161 in fiscal 2008. The Company, on an ongoing basis, has returns of products that have been phased out and replaced by new items as part of its marketing plan. Gross profit margins increased slightly to 61.7% in fiscal 2009 from 61.6% in fiscal 2008. The Company continually works to control its manufacturing costs. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company reclassified certain advertising and promotional expenditures as a reduction of sales rather than report them as expenses, which has no affect on the net income. This reclassification is the adoption by the Company of ASC Topic 605-10-S99, “Revenue Recognition” (previously reported as EITF 01-9) as more fully described in Note 2 (“Sales Incentives”), of the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009. The reclassification reflects a reduction in sales for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 by $4,889,941 and $4,557,507 respectively, an increase in the net sales reduction of $332,434. The Company’s net sales, by category were: Dietary Supplements $24,243,598 or 42%, Skin Care $15,807,074 or 28%, Oral Care $8,859,354 or 16%, Nail Care $5,529,822 or 10%, Fragrance $1,938,084 or 3%, Analgesic $617,554 or 1%, and Hair Care and Miscellaneous $6,513 or 0%. Income before taxes was $5,610,124 for fiscal 2009 as compared to $2,466,399 for fiscal 2008, an increase of $3,143,725. The increase was due to a reduction of expenses in both media and selling, general and administrative costs. For fiscal 2009, advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses were $9,667,446 as compared to $10,466,740 for fiscal 2008, or an expense decrease of $799,294. Advertising expenses were 17.0% of net sales for fiscal 2009 versus 18.4% for fiscal 2008. Included in advertising expense is media advertising, which decreased to $6,641,461 in fiscal 2009 from $8,051,849 in fiscal 2008. The Company increased its cooperative advertising in fiscal 2009, however a large portion of the increase in expense was offset by a decrease in the use of advertising in newspaper inserts. Cost of goods remained stable despite increases in resin prices during fiscal 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $20,037,352 in fiscal 2009 from $22,122,849 in fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower freight out costs as a result of the decrease in fuel costs and renegotiation of some carrier rates, decreased selling expenses, lower personnel costs and decreased donations of the Company’s inventory. Shipping costs to the Company’s customers, reported as part of selling, general and administrative costs, decreased in fiscal 2009 by $556,051 from fiscal 2008. Shipping costs as a percentage of gross sales decreased to 4.0% in fiscal 2009 from 4.9% of gross sales in fiscal 2008. This was due to lower fuel costs during fiscal 2009, and a renegotiation of rates with some of the Company’s carriers. The Company also had a decrease in personnel costs and other costs because of management’s cost control initiatives. The Company significantly decreased its donations of inventory during fiscal 2009, resulting in an expense that was $392,805 lower then fiscal 2008. Donations of inventory can result in an increased tax benefit, the unused portion of which creates a deferred tax benefit that may be utilized in future periods. - 12 - The effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 was 38.8% of income before tax as compared to 42.7% for fiscal 2008. The United States Internal Revenue Service completed an examination of the Company’s U.S. tax return for fiscal 2006. As a result of that examination, the Company received a refund of $94,195 in federal taxes for the 2006 fiscal year. The audit adjustments resulted in refunds from amended state tax returns for 2006 of $28,145, and an additional $196,335 in refunds from federal and state amended returns for fiscal 2007. The refunds resulted in the decreased effective tax rate for fiscal 2009. The State of New Jersey, Department of The Treasury, Division of Taxation is currently examining state income and sales tax returns filed for the fiscal years 2004 — 2008. As of February 25, 2010, no adjustments have been proposed. No other state has notified the Company of its intent to conduct an examination of tax returns filed in their jurisdictions. The Company had $747,668 of officer salaries during fiscal 2009 that were not deductible for tax purposes in calculating the income tax provision. As of November 30, 2009, the Company has unrealized losses on its investments of $314,428, which would have a tax benefit of $125,457. This tax benefit has been reduced by a valuation allowance of $85,557. The valuation allowance is based on an estimate of the losses, which if realized, could not be utilized to offset any corresponding capital gains. The tax benefit of the unrealized losses, net of valuation allowances, is $39,900 as of November 30, 2009. Comprehensive income increased to $4,223,391 for the year ended November 30, 2009 from $536,972 for the year ended November 30, 2008. This reflects the increase in the Company’s net income together with other comprehensive income, net of income tax benefits, of $791,747. The tax benefit of the unrealized losses, net of valuation allowances, is $39,900 as of November 30, 2009. The other comprehensive income is as a result of the increase in the market value of the Company’s investments. Further information regarding the Company’s investments can be found in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements. Comparison of Results for Fiscal Years 2008 and 2007 For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Company had revenues of $57,457,946, and net income of $1,412,886, after a provision of $1,053,513 for taxes. For the year ended November 30, 2007, the Company had revenues of $60,877,867, and net income of $5,537,795, after a provision of $4,056,931 for taxes. Fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2008 were $0.20 as compared to $0.78 for fiscal 2007. As noted in Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements, earnings in fiscal 2007 were impacted by the recording of $717,850 of transaction expenses related to the proposed acquisition of the Company by Dubilier and Company. Other income decreased from $1,045,710 for fiscal 2007 to $716,813 in fiscal 2008, primarily due to the decrease in interest rates. - 13 - The Company’s net sales decreased to $56,741,133 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 from $59,832,157 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. Net sales reflected an adjustment after reclassifying certain advertising expenses from selling expense to a reduction of net sales, which does not affect net income, and is more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. During fiscal 2008, the amount of advertising expenses that were classified as a reduction of net sales was $4,557,507, versus $5,184,112 in fiscal 2007, reflecting a decrease in the net sales reduction of $626,605. Gross sales were lower primarily in the oral care and fragrance categories. Sales returns and allowances were 11.6% of gross sales for fiscal 2008 versus 9.6% in fiscal 2007. Sales returns were higher primarily due to a primary customer’s integration of a retail store chain that it had acquired into its operations that resulted in some store closings. The Company also had $321,070 of returns, primarily in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008, from the unsuccessful launch of Pound-X, a dietary supplement launched in the fourth quarter of 2006. In addition, the Company expanded its use of coupons resulting in an expense increase of $387,517 that was charged against sales allowances. The Company continually has returns of products that have been phased out and replaced by new items as part of its marketing plan. Gross profit margins declined to 61.6% in fiscal 2008 from 63.6% in fiscal 2007. The change in the gross profit margin was primarily due to the higher returns and sales allowances in fiscal 2008. In addition, due to the significantly higher fuel costs in 2008, there was an increase in the cost of goods including delivery charges. In accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), the Company reclassified certain advertising and promotional expenditures as a reduction of sales rather than report them as expenses, which has no affect on the net income. This reclassification is the adoption by the Company of ASC Topic 605-10-S99, “Revenue Recognition” (previously reported as EITF 01-9) as more fully described in Note 2 (“Sales Incentives”), of the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2008. The reclassification reflects a reduction in sales for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 by $4,557,507 and $5,184,112 respectively. The Company’s net sales, by category were: Dietary Supplement $18,531,613 or 33%, Skin Care $16,623,447 or 29%, Oral Care $13,944,877 or 25%, Nail Care $5,816,461 or 10%, Fragrance $1,532,679 or 3%, and Hair Care and Miscellaneous $292,056 or 0%. Income before taxes was $2,466,399 for fiscal 2008 as compared to $9,594,726 for fiscal 2007, a decrease of $7,128,327. The decrease was primarily due to a $3,684,860 increase in media and co-operative advertising in fiscal 2008 versus fiscal 2007. In addition, for the reasons as previously noted, fiscal 2008 returns and allowances were higher by $1,106,135 as compared to fiscal 2007. Other income declined $328,897, primarily due to lower interest rates. Cost of goods increased as a result of the increased fuel costs, including delivery charges of raw materials and components and higher testing costs. Due to the significantly increased fuel charges in 2008, the cost of freight-out increased from 4.1% of gross sales in fiscal 2007 to 4.9% of gross sales in fiscal 2008. In an effort to attract new customers, the Company increased its use of advertising in newspaper inserts. Expenses were also higher due to increased donations of inventory in fiscal 2008; however that also resulted in an increased tax benefit which offset the higher expense and created a deferred tax benefit that will be utilized in future periods. - 14 - For fiscal 2008, advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses were $10,466,740 as compared to $6,956,407 for fiscal 2007, or an expense increase of $3,510,333. Advertising expenses were 18.4% of net sales for fiscal 2008 versus 11.6% for fiscal 2007. The increase in advertising expense was due to the Company supporting a new leading diet product. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $22,122,849 in fiscal 2008 from $21,266,327 in fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher freight out costs as a result of the significant increase in fuel costs, increased selling expenses, and higher donations of inventory as earlier noted. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2008 was 42.7% of income before tax as compared to 42.3% for fiscal 2007. The slight increase in the tax rate was due to the timing of certain tax deductions in fiscal 2008 versus 2007, which resulted in a $321,855 increase in deferred tax assets. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of November 30, 2009, the Company had working capital of $25,973,568 as compared to $23,836,264 at November 30, 2008. The ratio of total current assets to current liabilities is 3.7 to 1 as compared to a ratio of 3.2 to 1 for the prior year. Stockholders’ equity increased to $30,219,848 in fiscal 2009 from $28,253,879 in fiscal 2008. The increase was due to increases in retained earnings and lower unrealized losses on marketable securities. Retained earnings increased to $28,094,783 at November 30, 2009 from $26,920,561 at November 30, 2008. The increase was due to earnings of $3,431,644 during fiscal 2009, less dividends declared of $2,257,421. Unrealized losses on marketable securities were $274,528 at November 30, 2009 as compared to unrealized losses of $1,066,275 at November 30, 2008. Unrealized gains or losses reflect the difference between the cost and market price of the Company’s marketable securities as of the date of the financial statements, net of any tax expense or benefit. See Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s marketable securities. The Company did not purchase any treasury stock during fiscal 2009. There were no common or preferred stock shares issued during fiscal 2009. The Company’s cash position and short-term investments at November 30, 2009 were $17,480,472, versus $15,583,056 as at November 30, 2008. Non-current or long term investments were $2,900,035 at November 30, 2009 versus $2,945,740 at November 30, 2008. At November 30, 2009, the Company had long and short-term triple A investments and cash of $20,380,507 as compared to $18,528,796 as of November 30, 2008. The Company paid cash dividends during fiscal 2009 in the amount of $2,539,599, including the dividends declared at the end of fiscal 2008 but not paid until fiscal 2009 of $775,988 and $1,763,611 in dividends declared and paid for fiscal 2009. As of November 30, 2009, there were dividends declared but not paid of $493,811. The investment securities the Company purchased are all classified as “Available for Sale Securities”, and are reported at fair market value as of November 30, 2009, with the resultant unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Due to the current securities market conditions, the Company cannot ascertain the risk of any future change in market value. Our investments are spread among many different obligors and municipalities to decrease the risk due to any specific concentrations. - 15 - The Company’s investment in property and equipment consisted mostly of computer hardware and software, racking for our warehouse facilities, leasehold improvements and furniture to accommodate our personnel in addition to tools and dies used in the manufacturing process. Accounts receivable as of November 30, 2009 and 2008 were $7,613,273 and $8,230,716 respectively. The gross accounts receivable was $144,341 higher as of November 30, 2009 versus November 30, 2008, however the net receivables decreased due to an increase in the reserve for returns and allowances. Accounts receivable allowances and reserves increased in the aggregate by $761,785 at November 30, 2009 as compared to November 30, 2008. The reserves were higher as of November 30, 2009 due to additional provisions for the Company’s Instant Lift product, an account that filed for bankruptcy protection and markdown allowances given to certain accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is a combination of specific and general reserve amounts relating to accounts receivable. The general reserve is calculated based on historical percentages applied to aged accounts receivable and the specific reserve is established and revised based on individual customer circumstances. This allowance decreased to $131,223 as of November 30, 2009 from $154,290 as of November 30, 2008. The reserve for returns and allowances is based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the five preceding months, adjusting for returns that can be put back into inventory, and a specific reserve based on customer circumstances. This allowance increased to $2,660,469 as of November 30, 2009 from $2,112,426 as of November 30, 2008. Of this amount, allowances and reserves in the amount of $1,206,878, which are anticipated to be deducted from future invoices, are included in accrued liabilities. The increase in the reserve for returns and allowances is due in part to the timing of the Company’s sales and a reserve in the amount of $82,362 for an account that filed for bankruptcy. This amount, including the reserve, would be included in accounts receivable until a final order is entered by the bankruptcy court at which time the amount will be charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Also included in the reserve is a provision of $293,845 for the Company’s Instant Lift product which was launched during fiscal 2009. Inventories were $8,327,277 and $7,932,798, as of November 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The Company increased the amount of inventory on hand in order to accommodate its customer’s needs for just in time inventory shipments. Inventory was also increased due to promotional sales that were shipped in December 2009. The reserve for inventory obsolescence is based on a detailed analysis of inventory movement. The inventory obsolescence reserve was increased to $760,001 as of November 30, 2009 from $578,941 as of November 30, 2008. The increase in the reserve was primarily for the Company’s Instant Lift Products. The amount of deferred income tax reflected as a current asset increased to $1,193,745 as of November 30, 2009 from $973,732 as of November 30, 2008. The increase of deferred tax credits was mainly as a result of the increased reserves for returns and inventory obsolescence. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in the accrual for unused vacation pay and a reduction in charitable contributions that could not be deducted in the current tax year and were carried forward. Also included is a deferred income tax benefit of $39,900 as a result of the unrealized losses on the Company’s marketable securities. This amount is also reflected as an offset against unrealized losses in the equity section of the balance sheet. The Company anticipates that these amounts will be deductible in future tax years. The amount of non-current deferred tax decreased to $0 as of November 30, 2009 from $143,419 as of November 30, 2008. The decrease was due to a portion of the charitable contributions for which the benefit was estimated to be beyond the 2009 fiscal year, and thus had been classified as a long term asset at November 30, 2008. However, the Company anticipates that the carry forward amount as of November 30, 2009 will be utilized in fiscal 2010, and accordingly has classified the entire carry forward amount as a current deferred tax asset. - 16 - Current liabilities are $9,469,873 and $11,016,196, as of November 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. Current liabilities at November 30, 2009 consisted of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term capital lease obligations, income taxes payable and dividends payable. As of November 30, 2009, there was $1,845,583 of open cooperative advertising commitments, of which $1,313,903 is from 2009, $203,395 is from 2008, $292,726 is from 2007 and $35,559 is from 2006. The Company’s total cooperative advertising commitment increased slightly to $6,271,303 in fiscal 2009 from $6,264,562 in fiscal 2008. Cooperative advertising is advertising that is run by the retailers in which the Company shares in part of the cost. If it becomes apparent that this cooperative advertising was not utilized, the unclaimed cooperative advertising will be offset against the expense during the fiscal year in which it is determined that it did not run. This procedure is consistent with the prior year’s methodology with regard to the accrual of unsupported cooperative advertising commitments. The Company’s long term obligations are for a portion of its capitalized leases, which is for certain office and warehouse equipment and deferred tax liabilities. The Company generated cash flow of $3,905,182 from operating activities during fiscal 2009, as compared to $3,229,899 in fiscal 2008. The increase in operating cash flow was mainly due to the increase in net income, decrease in prepaid income taxes and accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable. Net cash provided by investing activities was $967,783 during fiscal 2009, generated by the excess of the proceeds from the sale of some of the Company’s investments less securities purchased and the acquisition of equipment. The acquisition of equipment was mainly for the improvement of the Company’s computer systems. The Company’s cash balance increased by $2,275,670 during fiscal 2009, net of $2,539,599 in dividends paid to the shareholders. Inventory, Seasonality, Inflation and General Economic Factors The Company attempts to keep its inventory for its product at levels that will enable shipment against orders within a three- week period. However, certain components must be inventoried well in advance of actual orders because of time-to-acquire circumstances. For the most part, purchases are based upon anticipated quarterly requirements, which are projected based upon sales indications received by the sales and marketing departments, and general business factors. All of the Company’s contract manufactured products and components are purchased from non-affiliated entities. Warehousing is provided at Company facilities, and all products are shipped from the Company’s warehouse facilities. - 17 - The Company’s products are not particularly seasonal, but sales of its sun-care, depilatory and diet-aid products usually peak during the spring and summer seasons, and perfume sales usually peak in fall and winter. The Company does not have a product that can be identified as a ‘Christmas item’. The Company plans to continue to promote its sales through an advertising program consisting of a combination of media and co-op advertising. We continue to invest money into research and development to build our core products to become leaders in their respective categories. We are trying to decrease the amount of “on hand” inventory we stock; however to better service our customers we often find it difficult to reduce our “safety stock”. We continue to evaluate our sales staff and to try to attract aggressive salespeople to increase the distribution of our current product line. We are also continuing to look for additional businesses or product lines which we think will help the Company to grow and are also reviewing possible acquisitions or any other offers which we feel will enhance shareholders’ value. Because our products are sold to retail stores (throughout the United States and, in small part, abroad), sales are particularly affected by general economic conditions. Accordingly, any adverse change in the economic climate can have an adverse impact on the Company’s sales and financial condition. The Company does not believe that inflation or other general economic circumstances that would further negatively affect operations can be predicted at present, but if such circumstances should occur, they could have material and negative impact on the Company’s net sales and revenues, unless the Company was able to pass along related cost increases to its customers. On January 21, 2009, the Company filed Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission advising that Wal-mart had informed the Company that starting in March 2009, due to the slowdown in the economy, it will only carry the leading brands in their oral care sections and therefore will no longer be purchasing the Company’s Plus+White oral care products brand. In 2009, the Company’s net sales of Plus+White to Wal-Mart totaled approximately $1.2 million versus approximately $6 million during fiscal 2008. - 18 - Contractual Obligations The following table sets forth the contractual obligations as of November 30, 2009. Such obligations include the current lease for the Company’s premises, written employment contracts and License Agreements. Leases on Premises (1) Royalty Expense (2) Employment Contracts (3) Capital Lease Obligations Open Purchase Orders Total Contractual Obligations Less than 1 Year $ 694,120 152,500 2,234,533 53,233 3,441,971 $ 6,576,357 1-3 Years $ 1,041,180 570,000 3,556,928 20,929 — $ 5,189,037 $ 3-5 Years — 570,000 2,741,205 — — $ 3,311,205 More than 5 years $ $ — 190,000 — — — 190,000 (1) The major lease is a net lease requiring a yearly rental of $390,835 plus Common Area Maintenance “CAM”. See Section Part I, Item 2. The rental provided above is the base rental and estimated CAM. CAM for future years is estimated at $150,000. The lease has an annual CPI adjustment, not to cumulatively exceed 15% in any consecutive five year period. The lease expires on May 31, 2012 with a renewal option for an additional five years. On September 26, 2007, the Company entered into a warehouse lease with Ninth Avenue Equities Co., Inc. to lease 16,438 square feet of space known as Unit B located at Murray Hill Industrial Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey for a four and a half year period. The annual rental is $123,285 plus CPI adjustments, real estate taxes and common area maintenance expenses. CAM is estimated at $30,000 per year for future years. The figures for both leases above do not include adjustments for future CPI. (2) See Section Part I, Item 1(f). The Company is not required to pay any royalty in excess of realized sales if the Company chooses not to continue under the license. The figures set forth above reflect estimates of the royalty expense anticipated minimum requirements to maintain the licenses under the various contracts for the licensed products based on fiscal 2009 sales. The more than 5 years column only reflects one year of minimum payments; the payments can continue in perpetuity in order to maintain the license. Royalty expense noted includes Joann Bradvica and LaRosa Innovations, LLC. (3) The Company had executed Employment Contracts on December 1, 1993, with its CEO, David Edell, and its Chairman of the Board, Ira W. Berman. The contracts for both are exactly the same. The contracts expire on December 31, 2010. The contracts provide for a base salary which commenced in 1994 in the amount of $300,000 (plus a bonus of 20% of the base salary), with a year-to-year CPI or 6% increase, plus 2.5% of the Company’s pre-tax income plus depreciation and amortization plus certain fringe benefits including the cost of certain life insurance, auto expenses, and health insurance. The 2.5% measure in the bonus provision of the Edell/Berman contracts was amended on November 3, 1998 so as to calculate it against earnings before income taxes, plus depreciation, amortization and expenditures for media and cooperative advertising in excess of $8,000,000. On May 24, 2001, the contract was amended increasing the base salary then in effect by $100,000 per annum. The contracts also provide that at the end of the term or upon retirement, Edell/Berman shall be retained by the Company as consultants at the consideration equal to 50% of the prior year’s salary and bonus for a five year period. The figures above include only the base salaries for the five years (plus the portion of the bonus equal to 20% of the base salary), an adjustment for CPI, and without estimating the 2.5% bonus provision, as that bonus is contingent upon future earnings, and also including most of the payments that would be due as consulting payments upon expiration or retirement (the portion based on the 2.5% bonus provision is not calculated into the consulting payment estimate). On June 1, 2001, the Company added a provision to the Contracts stating that in the event of death within the employment and consulting periods, the Company would be obligated for two successive years to pay the executive’s estate an amount equal to the annual base salary and bonus. - 19 -  David Edell’s sons, Dunnan Edell and Drew Edell have five-year employment contracts in the amounts of $270,000 and $200,000 respectively, which expired on November 30, 2007 (See Item 11, Summary Compensation Table). In July 2003, Dunnan Edell’s salary was increased to $300,000 and in January 2004, Drew Edell’s salary was increased to $225,000. In fiscal 2005, Drew Edell’s salary was increased to $250,000. Dunnan Edell is a director and during fiscal 2003 was appointed President of the Company and Chief Operating Officer. Drew Edell is the Vice President of Research and Product Development. On February 10, 2006, the Board of Directors extended the employment contracts for Dunnan Edell and Drew Edell to December 31, 2010. On May 17, 2007, the employment contracts for Dunnan Edell and Drew Edell were amended by the Board of Directors, extending the contracts to November 30, 2012, and increasing Dunnan Edell’s base salary to $350,000 and Drew Edell’s base salary to $275,000. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended certain provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (previously reported as SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”). This amendment 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. This amendment promotes greater use of fair values in financial reporting. In addition, under Topic 805, 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. Topic 805 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Topic 805 will have an impact on accounting for any business acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement. In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation” (previously reported as SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”). Topic 810 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. Topic 810 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Topic 810 will have an impact on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non-wholly owned business acquired in the future. - 20 - In April 2008, the FASB amended certain provisions of ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”, (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. 142-3). Topic 350 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. It further 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 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. Topic 350 became 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. Topic 350 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In April 2009, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (“SAB No. 111”). SAB No. 111 amends Topic 5.M. in regard to other than temporary impairment of certain investments in debt and equity securities. SAB No. 111 confirms the establishment of the “other than temporary” category of investment impairment. The adoption of SAB No. 111 became effective upon issuance and did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”). The amendment requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The amendment to Topic 825 became effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this topic had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4). Topic 820 provides additional guidance for estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, and identifying circumstances in which a transaction may not be orderly. The adoption of this topic became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the additional guidance provided by Topic 820 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 320, “Investments — Debt and Equity” (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and 124-2) which amends the guidance in regard to other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. Topic 320 also requires additional disclosures in the financial statements that enable users to understand the types of debt and equity securities held, including those investments in an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has or has not been recognized. The adoption of the amendment to Topic 320 became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. - 21 - In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (previously reported as SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Topic 855 became effective June 15, 2009 for all subsequent reporting periods. The adoption of Topic 855 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (previously SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”). This update identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. This update is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-01 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, which is an update to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The update provides clarification in regard to the estimation of the fair value of a liability. In addition, it also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. This update became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after August 31, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, which is an update to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures”. This update establishes further disclosure requirements regarding transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2, and activity in level 3 fair value measurements. The update also provides clarification as to the level of disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities, requires disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques, and also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 will be effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. 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. - 22 - Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This annual report contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations of management that involve risks and uncertainty. Actual risks could differ materially from those anticipated. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known may possibly impair business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, the business, financial conditions and operating results could be materially adversely affected. The cautionary statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10K should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements whenever they appear in this Annual Report. Concentration of Risk The Company relies on mass merchandisers and major food and drug chains for the sales of its products. The loss of any one of those accounts could have a substantive negative impact upon our financial operations. All of the Company’s products have independent competition and must be able to compete in order to maintain our position on the retail merchandisers’ shelves. {See Business - General, Item 1(c) i Marketing.} The Company does not manufacture any of its products. All of the products are manufactured for the Company by independent contract manufacturers. There can be no assurance that the failure of a supplier to deliver the products ordered by the Company, when requested, will not cause burdensome delays in the Company’s shipments to accounts. The Company does constantly seek alternative suppliers should a major supplier fail to deliver as contracted. A failure of the Company to ship as ordered by its accounts could cause penalties and/or cancellations of our customers’ orders. There is No Assurance That The Business Will Continue to Operate Profitably. In fiscal 2009, net sales were $57,001,999. Net income was $3,431,644. There is no assurance that all of the Company’s products will be successful. During 2009 consumer confidence was at a record low which had a general impact on the industry and retail sales. Competition in the Cosmetic, Health and Beauty Aid Industry is Highly Competitive. Reference is made to “Business ‘Sub-section’ of Competition.” CLASS A Shareholders Retain Control of Board of Directors. See “Voting” in the Proxy Statement dated May 15, 2009. Class A Shareholders, David Edell, CEO and Ira W. Berman, Chairman of the Board of Directors, have the right to elect four members to the Board of Directors. Common stockholders have the right to elect three members to the Board of Directors. - 23 - Future Success Depends on Continued Success of the Company’s Current Products and New Product Development. The Company is not financially as strong as the major companies against whom it competes. The ability to successfully introduce new niche products and increase the growth and profitability of its current and new niche brand products will affect the business and prospects of the future of the Company and it relies upon the creativity and marketing skills of management. On September 30, 2009 the Company was served with a class action suit Denise Wally v. CCA Industries, Inc. The claim, which did not specify any damages, was filed in the Superior Court, State of California, County of Los Angeles, alleging false and misleading claims about the Company’s weight loss dietary supplement products sold in California in violation of the California Business and Professional Code. The Company believes that the allegations are without any merit and intends to vigorously defend the case. However, there can be no assurance that our position will be upheld. All of the Company’s product must be in compliance with all FDA and states regulations and all products which are being manufactured for the Company by outside suppliers must conform to the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices requirements. It is the Company’s responsibility to ascertain that the suppliers do conform. The Company Relies On A Few Large Customers For A Significant Portion Of Its Sales. In fiscal 2009, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. represented approximately 36% of the Company’s total revenues. The Company’s ten largest customers accounted for 79% of the Company’s total revenues. The Company has no agreement with any of its customers to stock its products. The Company’s business would suffer materially if it lost Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The loss of any of the Company’s 10 top customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results. On January 21, 2009, the Company filed Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that Wal-Mart had advised the Company, that starting sometime in March, it would not be carrying the Company’s oral care product brand. In 2009, the Company’s net sales of Plus+White to Wal-Mart totaled approximately $1.2 million versus approximately $6 million during fiscal 2008. The Company’s Dietary Supplement Business Could Be Adversely Affected By Unfavorable Scientific Studies Or Negative Press. The Company’s dietary supplement, Mega -T (Green Tea), to some extent is dependent on consumers’ perceptions, and the benefit and integrity of the dietary supplement business. Any safety alert on any dietary supplement for weight loss may negatively affect the consumers’ perceptions of the product category. Please see the Litigation section for information regarding the class action suit Denise Wally v. CCA Industries, Inc. - 24 - The Price of the Company’s Stock May Be Volatile The Company’s stock could fluctuate substantially. There is a limited float of shares tradable. There are factors beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to variations in the Company’s operating revenues and profits, the timing of advertising commitments, the volatility of small cap stock in general, general stock market conditions, and quarter to quarter variations. Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company’s financial statements (See Item 15) 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” (which, primarily, are intended to be held to maturity). $233,001 of the Company’s $12,536,138 portfolio of investments ( as at Nov. 30, 2009) is invested in the ”Common Stock” and “Other Equity” category, and $2,064,208 are invested in Preferred Stock holdings. The Company does not take positions or engage in transactions in risk-sensitive market instruments in any substantial degree, nor as defined by SEC rules and instructions, however due to current securities market conditions, the Company cannot ascertain the risk of any future change in the market value of its’ investments. Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The Financial Statements are listed under Item 15 in this Form 10-K. The following financial data is a summary of the quarterly results of operations (unaudited) during and for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008: Fiscal 2009 Net Sales Total Revenue Cost of Products Sold Gross Profit Net Income Earnings Per Share: Basic Diluted Feb. 28 May 31 Aug. 31 Nov. 30 Three Months Ended $ 14,758,850 14,944,466 $ 14,609,686 14,748,329 $ 15,139,754 15,344,595 $ 12,493,709 12,634,774 5,616,212 9,142,638 5,527,838 9,081,848 5,616,335 9,523,419 5,090,190 7,403,519 694,136 $ 1,599,346 $ 1,013,796 0.10 0.10 $ $ 0.23 0.23 $ $ 0.14 0.14 $ $ $ 124,366 0.02 0.02 $ $ $ - 25 - Three Months Ended Fiscal 2008 Net Sales Total Revenue Cost of Products Sold Gross Profit Net Income Earnings Per Share: Basic Diluted Feb. 29 May 31 Aug. 31 Nov. 30 $ 13,639,145 13,871,040 $ 17,258,060 17,389,985 $ 13,939,214 14,148,729 $ 11,904,714 12,048,192 4,893,262 8,745,883 343,683 0.05 0.05 $ $ $ $ $ $ 6,335,298 10,922,762 5,252,704 8,686,510 5,287,878 6,616,836 790,692 $ 1,101,420 $ (822,909) 0.11 0.11 $ $ 0.16 0.16 $ $ (0.12) (0.12) Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE The Company did not change its accountants within the twenty-four months prior to the date of the most recent financial statements (nor since), and had no reported disagreement with its accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices. Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, The Company’s fiscal 2009 annual report is required to be accompanied by a “Section 404 Formal Report” by management on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has engaged the services of CBIZ Risk & Advisory Services, LLC to assist in the development and implementation of procedures to determine and test the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The filing of the Company’s November 30, 2010 annual report must contain an opinion by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls. The Company’s officers are continually working to evaluate and confirm that the Company’s data processing software systems and other procedures are effective and that the information created by the Company’s systems adequately confirm the validity of the information upon which the Company relies. The Company continually takes a thorough review of the effectiveness of its internal controls and procedures, including financial reporting. It is working to strengthen all of its procedures wherever necessary. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are required to assess the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2009 and report, based on that assessment, whether the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective. - 26 - Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15f or 15d-15f under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Internal control over reporting, because of its inherent limitations, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company’s management has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2009 using the criteria as set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s assessment included documenting, evaluating and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management of the Company has reviewed the results with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Based on the Company’s assessment, management has concluded that, as of November 30, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. /s/ DAVID EDELL David Edell, Chief Executive Officer /s/ STEPHEN A.

(2) Includes the personal-use value of Company-leased automobiles, the value of Company-provided life insurance, and health insurance that is made available to all employees. The Employment Agreement of Edell/Berman provides that they may receive an additional reimbursement for a complete physical examination and reimbursement of up to $5,000 of medical expenses for each employment or consulting period. The Company also pays for a life insurance policy owned by Edell/Berman, with a face value of $750,000 for each policy, as per their respective Employment Agreements. (3) Information in respect of stock option plans appears below in the sub-topic, Employment Contracts/Executive Compensation Program. For information in regard to stock appreciation rights, refer to Note 9 of the financial statements. (4) The employment of Edell/Berman provides that in the event of death within the employment and consulting periods, the Company is obligated for two successive years to pay the executive’s estate an amount equal to the annual base salary and bonus. ii. Fiscal 2009 Option Grants and Option Exercises, Year-End Option Valuation, Option Repricing On September 27, 2007, the Company granted stock appreciation rights for 10,000 shares to its Executive Vice President of Sales, at $9.40 per share, which was the price of the stock on the day of the grant. The stock appreciation rights granted did not vest until two years after the grant date and expire five years after the grant date. Upon exercise, the value would be computed by the difference in the share price of the stock on the date of grant ($9.40) and the price on the exercise date. The stock appreciation rights would be exercisable to purchase the Company’s common stock at the price of the stock on the date of exercise. There were no stock options granted or options exercised during fiscal 2009. All outstanding options expired during fiscal 2009. iii. Compensation of Directors and Committees of the Board Director Stanley Kreitman Robert Lage James Mastrian Jack Polak Seth Hamot (Retired June 24, 2009) Total - 32 - $ Year Ended Nov. 30, 2009 15,000 45,000 7,500 15,000 7,500 $ 90,000 Each outside director was paid $2,500 for a conference call meeting and $5,000 per meeting for attendance of board meetings in fiscal 2009 (without additional compensation for committee meetings, other than as noted below). The full Board of Directors met four times in fiscal 2009, for an aggregate compensation of $60,000, not including Mr. Lage’s additional compensation of $30,000 as chairman of the audit committee. No stock options were awarded. iv. Executive Compensation Principles — Compensation Committee The Company’s Executive Compensation Program is based on guiding principles designed to align executive compensation with Company values and objectives, business strategy, management initiatives, and financial performance. In applying these principles the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, comprised of Stanley Kreitman, Jack Polak, James P. Mastrian and Robert Lage, has established a program to: Reward executives for long-term strategic management and the enhancement of shareholder value. Integrate compensation programs with both the Company’s annual and long-term strategic planning. Support a performance-oriented environment that rewards performance not only with respect to Company goals but also Company performance as compared to industry performance levels. The Compensation Committee has a charter, which was published with the proxy statement for the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders. Compensation, including annual bonus amounts, for the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (other than David Edell and Ira Berman, whose compensation and bonus are determined in accordance with their employment agreement) are recommended by David Edell, Chief Executive Officer, and approved by the Compensation Committee. v. Employment Contracts/Compensation Program The total compensation program consists of both cash and equity based compensation. The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) determines the level of salary and bonuses, if any, for key executive officers of the Company. The Committee determines the salary or salary range based upon competitive norms. Actual salary changes are based upon performance, and bonuses were awarded by the Committee in consideration of the employee’s performance during the 2009 fiscal year. The Company has executed Employment Contracts with its CEO, David Edell, and its Chairman of the Board, Ira W. Berman. The contracts for both are exactly the same. The contracts expire on December 31, 2010. The contracts provide for a base salary which commenced in 1994 in the amount of $300,000 (plus a bonus of 20% of the base salary), with a year-to-year CPI or 6% increase, plus 2.5% of the Company’s pre-tax income plus depreciation and amortization. The 2.5% measure in the bonus provision of the Edell/Berman contracts was amended on November 3, 1998 so as to calculate it against income before income taxes, plus depreciation, amortization and expenditures for media and cooperative advertising in excess of $8,000,000. On May 24, 2001, the contract was amended increasing the base salary then in effect by $100,000 per annum (See Item 11, Summary Compensation Table). The contracts also provide that at the end of the term or upon retirement, Edell/Berman shall be retained by the Company as consultants at the consideration equal to 50% of the prior year’s salary and bonus for a five year period. The contracts also provide that in the event of the death of Edell/Berman within the employment and consulting periods, the Company is obligated for two successive years to pay the executive’s estate an amount equal to the annual base salary and bonus. The Company, per the Employment Agreement, pays for life insurance policies owned by Edell/Berman with a face value of $750,000 each. Edell/Berman are entitled to have the Company pay for a complete physical examination and reimbursement of up to $5,000 of medical expenses during each benefit year. - 33 - David Edell’s sons, Dunnan Edell and Drew Edell have five-year employment contracts in the amounts of $270,000 and $200,000 respectively, which were to expire on November 30, 2007. On February 10, 2006, the Board of Directors extended the contracts for Dunnan Edell and Drew Edell to December 31, 2010. Dunnan Edell is a director and President of the Company. Drew Edell is the Vice President of Product Development and Production. On July 1 2003, Dunnan Edell’s salary was increased to $300,000, and on January 5, 2004, Drew Edell’s salary was increased to $225,000 and in 2005, it was increased to $250,000. On May 17, 2007, the employment contracts for Dunnan Edell and Drew Edell were extended to November 30, 2012 (See Item 11, Summary Compensation Table). Dunnan Edell’s salary was increased to $350,000 and Drew Edell’s salary was increased to $275,000. vi. Stock Option Plans Long-term incentives are provided through the issuance of stock options. The 1984 Stock Option Plan covered 1,500,000 shares of its Common Stock, and the 1986 Stock Option Plan covered 1,500,000 shares of its Common Stock. On July 9, 2003, the Company’s Stock Option Plan was approved by the shareholders authorizing the issuance of options to issue up to 1,000,000 shares. The Company’s 2003 Stock Option Plan covers 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock. The 2003 Option Plan provides (as had the 1984, 1986 and the 1994 plans) for the granting of two (2) types of options: “Incentive Stock Options” and “Nonqualified Stock Options”. The Incentive Stock Options (but not the Nonqualified Stock Options) are intended to qualify as “Incentive Stock Options” as defined in Section 422(a) of The Internal Revenue Code. The Plans are not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, nor subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Options may be granted under the Options Plans to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) and consultants of the Company provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to any non-employee director or consultant. Option Plans are administered and interpreted by the Board of Directors. (Where issuance to a Board member is under consideration, that member must abstain.) The Board has the power, subject to plan provisions, to determine the persons to whom and the dates on which options will be granted, the number of shares subject to each option, the time or times during the term of each when options may be exercised, and other terms. The Board has the power to delegate administration to a Committee of not less than two (2) Board members, each of whom must be disinterested within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act, and ineligible to participate in the option plan or in any other stock purchase, option or appreciation right under plan of the Company or any affiliate. Members of the Board receive no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of option plans. - 34 - Option Plans permit the exercise of options for cash, other property acceptable to the Board or pursuant to a deferred payment arrangement. The 1994 Plan specifically authorizes that payment may be made for stock issuable upon exercise by tender of Common Stock of the Company; and the Executive Committee is authorized to make loans to option exercisers, other than officers, to finance optionee tax-consequences in respect of option exercise, but such loans must be personally guaranteed and secured by the issued stock. The maximum term of each option is ten (10) years. No option granted is transferable by the optionee other than upon death. On June 15, 2005, the shareholders approved an amended and Restated Stock Option Plan amending the 2003 Stock Option Plan. The Plan provides that the stock option committee may make awards in the form of (a) incentive stock options, (b) non- qualified stock options, (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) restricted stock, and (e) performance shares. One new award was made by the committee in fiscal 2007 (See Executive Compensation in Fiscal 2007 Option Grants). Under the plans, options will terminate three (3) months after the optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company unless (i) the termination of employment is due to such person’s permanent and total disability, in which case the option may, but need not, provide that it may be exercised at any time within one (1) year of such termination (to the extent the option was vested at the time of such termination); or (ii) the optionee dies while employed by the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company or within three (3) months after termination of such employment, in which case the option may, but need not provide that it may be exercised (to the extent the option was vested at the time of the optionee’s death) within eighteen (18) months of the optionee’s death by the person or persons to whom the rights under such option pass by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; or (iii) the option by its terms specifically provides otherwise. The exercise price of all nonqualified stock options must be at least equal to 85% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of all Incentive Stock Options must be at least equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of stock of the Company (determined at the date of the option grant) for which any employee may be granted Incentive Stock Options in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000, plus certain carryover allowances. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to any participant who owns stock possessing more than ten (10%) of the voting rights of the Company’s outstanding capital stock must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. As of November 30, 2009, there were no outstanding stock options. - 35 - The Company has adopted Stock Appreciation Rights incentives and Restricted Stock grants in the 2005 Amended Stock Option Plan. No such grants were issued in fiscal 2009. All of the terms and conditions of the Plan were included in the June 15, 2005 Proxy, which Plan was approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting. The Proxy was incorporated by reference to the 10K Annual Report for fiscal 2005. vii.

In turn, the “assumed” percentage ownership figure is measured, for each owner, as if each had exercised such options, and purchased subject ‘option shares,’ and thus increased total shares actually outstanding, but that no other option owner had ‘exercised and purchased’. (2) David Edell and Ira Berman own 100% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Messrs. David Edell, Dunnan Edell, and Ira Berman are officers and directors. Messrs. Stephen Heit, John Bingman and Drew Edell are officers. Messrs. Lage, Mastrian, Kreitman and Polak are independent, outside directors. There were no other shareholders who owned more than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock or Class A Common Stock of the Company. - 38 - Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS The Company did not purchase any shares of common stock from officers, directors or affiliates in fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2009, several related parties provided services to the Company, which were deemed immaterial to the financial statements. Item 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES KGS LLP (“KGS”) served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2009 and 2008. The services performed by KGS in this capacity included conducting an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards of, and expressing an opinion on, the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Audit Fees KGS’s fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit and review of Forms 10-K and all other SEC regulatory filings were $340,000 for the 2009 fiscal year and $379,000 for the 2008 fiscal year. The Company has paid and is current on all billed fees. Audit Related Fees Audit related fees billed in Fiscal 2009 and 2008 by KGS were $4,000 and $46,000 respectively. Audit related fees consist primarily of fees billed for professional services rendered by KGS for accounting consultations and readiness consultations for Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Tax Fees KGS’s fees for professional services rendered in connection with Federal and State tax return preparation and other tax matters for the 2009 and 2008 fiscal years were $55,000 and $51,000, respectively. All Other Fees All other fees of $0 and $0 billed in Fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively, represent fees for miscellaneous services other than those described above. - 39 - Engagements Subject to Approval Under its charter, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all subsequent engagements of our independent registered public accounting firm unless an exception to such pre-approval exists under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each year, the independent registered public accounting firm’s retention to audit our financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the committee before the filing of the preceding year’s annual report on form 10-K. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent registered public accounting firm, including the scope of the work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from management. At each subsequent committee meeting, the committee will receive updates on the services actually provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, and management may present additional services for approval. The committee has delegated to the Chairman of the committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the committee in the event that a need arises for pre-approval between committee meetings. If the Chairman so approves any such engagements, he will report that approval to the full committee at the next committee meeting. - 40 - PART IV Item 15.

East Rutherford, New Jersey We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of CCA Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended November 30, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CCA Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended November 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule titled “Schedule II — Valuation and Qualifying Accounts” is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KGS LLP February 25, 2010 Jericho, New York - 46 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS CCA Industries, Inc. (“CCA”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 25, 1983. CCA manufactures and distributes health and beauty aid products. CCA has several wholly-owned subsidiaries, CCA Cosmetics, Inc., CCA Labs, Inc., and Berdell, Inc, all of which are currently inactive. CCA has two active wholly-owned subsidiaries, CCA Online Industries, Inc., and CCA IND., S.A. DE C.V., a Variable Capital Corporation organized pursuant to the laws of Mexico. NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCA and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), requires management to make 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. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be most critical to the financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgment and uncertainties. All of these estimates and assumptions reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects on the information available as of the date of the consolidated 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 statements of income 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 sheets consist of unrealized gains and losses on investment holdings, net of tax. Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities: Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of certificates of deposits, 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. Fair value for Available-for-Sale securities is determined by reference to quoted market prices or other relevant information. - 53 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — 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 cooperative advertising and reserves for returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of November 30th. 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 collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability 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. 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. 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. 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. - 54 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization (Continued) 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 Furniture and fixtures Tools, dies and masters Transportation equipment Leasehold improvements Intangible Assets: 5-7 Years 3-10 Years 3 Years 5 Years Remaining life of the lease (ranging from 1-9 years) 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 have been capitalized in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangible — Goodwill and Other” (previously reported as SFAS 142), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). 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. - 55 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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 in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (previously reported as SFAS 128), which requires 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 outstanding plus the effect of any outstanding stock options using the “treasury stock method” and convertible debentures using the “if-converted” method. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options. 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, returns are accepted if it is in the best interests of the Company’s relationship with the customer. The Company, therefore, records a reserve for returns based on the historical returns as a percentage of sales in the five preceding months, adjusting for returns that can be put back into inventory, and a specific reserve based on customer circumstances. Those returns which are anticipated to be taken as credits against the balances as of November 30th 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 ASC Topic 605-10-S99, “Revenue Recognition” (previously reported as EITF 01-9), the Company has accounted sales incentives offered to customers by charging them directly to sales as opposed to advertising and promotional expense. Had ASC Topic 605-10-S99 not been adopted, net sales for the years ended November 2009, 2008 and 2007 would have been $61,891,940, $61,298,640, and $65,016,269 respectively. Advertising Costs: The Company’s policy is to charge advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising, cooperative and promotional expense for the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $9,667,446, $10,466,740 and $6,956,407, respectively. - 56 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Shipping Costs: The Company charges shipping cost to selling, general and administrative expense as incurred. For the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, included in selling, general and administrative expenses are shipping costs amounting to $2,821,315, $3,377,366 and $2,962,754, respectively. Research and Development Costs: The Company’s policy is to charge research and development costs to expense as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $499,636, $603,486 and $574,900, respectively. Stock Options: In December 2004, the FASB issued ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (previously reported as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Accounting for Share-Based Compensation”). ASC Topic 718 requires stock grants to employees to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Reclassifications Certain prior years amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current years presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the FASB amended certain provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (previously reported as SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”). This amendment 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. This amendment promotes greater use of fair values in financial reporting. In addition, under Topic 805, 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. Topic 805 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Topic 805 will have an impact on accounting for any business acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement. - 57 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation” (previously reported as SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”). Topic 810 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. Topic 810 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Topic 810 will 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 amended certain provisions of ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. 142-3). Topic 350 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. It further 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 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. Topic 350 became 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. Topic 350 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In June 2008, FASB issued ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (previously known as FSP Emerging Issues Task Force No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”). Topic 260 provides that unvested share-based payment awards which contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two- class method of computing earnings per share. Topic 260 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In April 2009, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (“SAB No. 111”). SAB No. 111 amends Topic 5.M. in regard to other than temporary impairment of certain investments in debt and equity securities. SAB No. 111 confirms the establishment of the “other than temporary” category of investment impairment. The adoption of SAB No. 111 became effective upon issuance and did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. - 58 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”). The amendment requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The amendment to Topic 825 became effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this topic had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4). Topic 820 provides additional guidance for estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, and identifying circumstances in which a transaction may not be orderly. The adoption of this topic became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the additional guidance provided by Topic 820 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 320, “Investments — Debt and Equity” (previously reported as FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and 124-2) which amends the guidance in regard to other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. Topic 320 also requires additional disclosures in the financial statements that enable users to understand the types of debt and equity securities held, including those investments in an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has or has not been recognized. The adoption of the amendment to Topic 320 became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (previously reported as SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”). The statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Topic 855 became effective June 15, 2009 for all subsequent reporting periods. The adoption of Topic 855 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. - 59 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (previously SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”). This update identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. This update is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-01 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, which is an update to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The update provides clarification in regard to the estimation of the fair value of a liability. In addition, it also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. This update became effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after August 31, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, which is an update to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures”. This update establishes further disclosure requirements regarding transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2, and activity in level 3 fair value measurements. The update also provides clarification as to the level of disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities, requires disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques, and also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 will be effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 6 — SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES (CONTINUED) During the years ended November 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007, available-for-sale securities were liquidated and proceeds amounting to $21,528,407, $24,440,000 and $17,605,791 were received, with resultant realized gains totaling $113,272, $88,096, and $60,697, respectively. Cost of available-for-sale securities includes unamortized premium or discount. The Company had, at November 30, 2009, an auction rate bond issued by the New Jersey State Higher Education Assistance Authority (“NJHE”). The bond was recorded as a non-current marketable security. 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 Ratings had withdrawn their rating. The current interest rate is 0.578% as set on January 5, 2010. 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 was notified by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC on February 11, 2010 that they will be repurchasing the NJHE bond from the Company at the original par value (See Note 16, Subsequent Events for further information). The Company had recognized a temporary impairment charge of $40,000 against the $500,000 par value of the bond in fiscal 2008. The Company recognized an additional impairment charge of $60,000 in the second quarter of 2009, for a total impairment charge of $100,000. Due to the notification by Wells Fargo Investments of its intent to repurchase the NJHE bond, the Company believes that there is no impairment as of November 30, 2009 and accordingly has reversed the impairment charges previously recognized. The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (previously reported as SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements) as of December 1, 2007, which expands disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair market value. ASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation 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. - 67 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTE 7 — LINE OF CREDIT The Company had a $20,000,000 unsecured line of credit which expired on August 31, 2009. The Company elected not to renew the line of credit. The unsecured line was subject to certain financial covenants. The Company had never utilized the line of credit, and as of August 31, 2009 and November 30, 2008, there was no outstanding balance. NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES CCA and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, “Uncertain Tax Positions” (previously reported as FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’’). Management believes that there were no unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that would result in uncertainty regarding the deductions taken, as of November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than- not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no penalties or related interest for the fiscal year to date ended November 30, 2009 or for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008. - 69 - CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES (Continued) The United States Internal Revenue Service completed in 2009 an examination of the Company’s U.S. tax return for fiscal 2006. As a result of that examination, the Company received a refund of $94,195 in federal taxes for the 2006 fiscal year. The audit adjustments resulted in refunds from amended state tax returns in 2006 of $28,145, and an additional $196,335 in refunds from federal and state amended returns for fiscal 2007. The refunds resulted in the decreased effective tax rate for fiscal 2009. The State of New Jersey, Department of The Treasury, Division of Taxation is currently examining state income and sales tax returns filed for the fiscal years 2004 - 2008. As of February 25, 2010, no adjustments have been proposed. No other state has notified the Company of its intent to conduct an examination of tax returns filed in their jurisdictions. The Company had $747,668 of officer salaries during fiscal 2009 that were not deductible for tax purposes in calculating the income tax provision. As of November 30, 2009, the Company has unrealized losses on its investments of $314,428, which would have a tax benefit of $125,457. This tax benefit has been reduced by a valuation allowance of $85,557. The valuation allowance is based on an estimate of the losses, which if realized, could not be utilized to offset any corresponding capital gains. The tax benefit of the unrealized losses, if realized, net of valuation allowances, is $39,900 as of November 30, 2009. At November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company has temporary differences arising from the following: Type Depreciation Unrealized loss on investments Reserve for bad debts Reserve for returns Reserve for obsolete inventory Vacation accrual Charitable Contributions Section 263A costs Deferred income tax Valuation allowance Net deferred income tax November 30, 2009 Deferred Tax Classified As Short-Term Asset Long- Term (Liability) Amount $ (192,804) 314,428 131,223 $ 1,453,591 760,001 276,161 9,569 261,298 $ (76,929) 125,457 52,358 579,983 303,240 110,188 3,818 104,258 $ — 125,457 52,358 579,983 303,240 110,188 3,818 104,258 1,202,373 (85,557) $ 1,116,816 1,279,302 (85,557) $ 1,193,745 $ $ - 70 - (76,929) — — — — — — — (76,929) — (76,929) CCA INDUSTRIES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” which requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the financial statements. Accordingly, the Company applied the provisions of ASC Topic 718 to all awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 and will apply the provisions to the extent that these awards are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. ASC Topic 718 requires that the Company provide pro forma information regarding net earnings as if compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based awards had been determined in accordance with the fair value prescribed therein. On September 27, 2007, the Company granted stock appreciation rights for 10,000 shares to its Executive Vice President of Sales, at $9.40 per share, which was the price of the stock on the day of the grant. The stock appreciation rights granted do not vest until two years after the grant date and expire five years after the grant date. Upon exercise, the option value would be paid through the issuance of Company stock. The Company had no charge against earnings in fiscal 2008 or 2009, and anticipates no charges in fiscal 2010 based on the current market value of the stock. The amounts for future years can change, as the valuation of the fair value, as required by ASC Topic 718, involves factors such as the Company’s dividend yield, interest rates, and share price volatility, all of which are subject to change. The Company has made its estimate of fiscal 2010 year charges against earnings based on those factors as of November 30, 2009.
