             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
 Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
 include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
 accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
 management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
 considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operat
 ing results for the three month period ended February 28, 1998 are not
 necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
 ended November 30, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consoli-
 
 dated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
 Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30,
 1996.

NOTE 2 - 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 subsidiaries (CCA Cosmetics, Inc., CCA Labs, Inc., and
 Berdell, Inc.), all of which are currently inactive.

NOTE 3 -    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.  The consolidated
 financial statements include the use of estimates, which management
 believes are reasonable.

 Use of Estimates:

 The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
 accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
 regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  Such
 estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date
 of the financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may
 differ from estimated amounts.

NOTE 3 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 Statements of Cash Flows Disclosure:

 For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
 highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than
 three months to be cash equivalents.

 During fiscal 1998, two officers/shareholders exercised in the aggregate
 70,000 options in exchange for previously issued common stock.  The
 common shares were put into treasury and were subsequently cancelled.

 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
 oftheir 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 are stated at cost.  The Company charges to
 expense repairs and maintenance items, while major improvements and
 betterments are capitalized.  When the Company sells or otherwise disposes
 of property and equipment items, the cost and related accumulated
 depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss
 is included in earnings.  

   Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over
   the following estimated useful lives or lease terms of the assets:

   Machinery and equipment               7-10 Years
   Furniture and fixtures                5-7  Years
   Tools, dies and masters               2-7  Years

                                              of lease, whichever is
                                              shorter
   Intangible Assets:

   Intangible assets are stated at cost.  Patents and trademarks are amortized
   on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years.

   Financial Instruments:

   The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered financial 
   instruments approximate their respective fair value.

   deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for
   financial reporting and income tax purposes.

   Tax credits, when present, are accounted for using the flow-through method
   as a reduction of income taxes in the years utilized.

   Income Per Common Share:

   Income per common share has been computed using the weighted average
   number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods based on
   the treasury stock method using average market price.

   anti-dilutive or result in dilution of less than 3%.

NOTE 7 - DEFERRED ADVERTISING

   In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company
   expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
   periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising
   programs.  Consequently a deferral of $583,787 is accordingly reflected in
   the balance sheet for the interim period.This deferral is the result of the
   Company's $-0- media budget for the year which contemplates lower
   spending in the 4th quarter than in the other three quarters; as well as the
   Company's Co-op advertising commitments which also anticipates a lower
   expenditure in the 4th quarter.   

   The table below sets forth the calculation:

           MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
               OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            (UNAUDITED)

 For the three month period ended February 28, 1998, the Company had net sales
of $9,352,431 and net income of $375,955 after a provision for income taxes of
$232,548, as compared to net sales of $8,617,289 and net income of $310,001 
after provision for income taxes of $206,296 for the three month period ended 
February 28, 1998.

 All of the Company's sales were primarily to mass merchandisers throughout the
United States.

 The cost of sales percentage for the quarter increased from 36% in 1997 to 38%
in 1998 primarily due to the increase of product promotions for the period; as 
well as certain product  mix fluctuations.  Advertising, cooperative and 
promotional allowance expenditures during the quarter decreased as a percentage 
of sales from 25% in 1997 to 23% in 1998 due to the increase in the sales 
volume.  As part of the registrant's business it is necessary to enter into 
co-operative advertising agreements and other promotional activities with its 
accounts, especially upon the introduction of a new product.  
Both co-op advertising and promotions have a material effect on the Company's
operations.  If the advertising and promotions are successful, revenues will 
be increased accordingly.  Should the co-op and promotions not be successful, 
it will have a negative impact on the Company's promotional cost per sale, 
and have a negative effect on income.  The Company attempts to anticipate its 
advertising and promotional commitments as a percent of gross sales in order 
to attempt to control its effect on its net income.

 Income before taxes for the quarter increased to $608,503 from $516,297. This
was primarily a result of the higher sales as compared to the prior year.  
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased due to 
personnel costs as well as other normal inflationary costs.  This increase in 
SG&A costs, however, was offset by the increase in sales and therefore the 
percentage to sales decreased from 32% in 1997 to 31% in 1998.

 The Company's financial position as at February 28, 1998 consists of current 
assets of $18,576,825 and current liabilities of $7,501,821.  Shareholders' 
equity increased for the three month period from $13,727,991 on November 30, 
1997 to $14,110,130 as of February 28, 1998 primarily due to the income of 
$375,955 for the period.

 The Company's operations resulted in the use of approximately $964,000 of 
cash. The Company also used approximately $105,000 to buy fixed assets and 
$12,000 to purchase "Available for Sale Securities".  Due to its accessibility 
to funds, the Company believes that its current financial condition is 
sufficient to support its proposed operations for the near future.
