             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 six month period ended May 31, 1998 are not necessar
 ily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
 November 30, 1998.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1997.

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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Principles of Consolidation:

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCA and the
  following subsidiaries:

  Subsidiary Name             Ownership %

  CCA Cosmetics, Inc.         100%            Currently Inactive
  CCA Labs, Inc.              100%            Currently Inactive
  Berdell, Inc.               100%            Currently Inactive

    of America, Ltd.            80%           Acquired March 19, 1998

  All significant intercompany 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.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:

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

  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
  of their original cost or market, as appropriate.  Obsolete inventory is 
  written off and its value is removed from inventory at the time its 
  obsolescence is determined.

  Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization

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

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

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

   Intangible assets are stated at cost.  Patents and trademarks are amortized
   on the straight-line method over a period of 17 years. Goodwill is amortized
   over 60 months.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   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.

   Reclassifications:

   Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to
   conform to the 1998 presentation.

   Tax Credits:

   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.

   Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they 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 $889,090 is accordingly reflected in
   the balance sheet for the interim period. This deferral is the result of the
   Company's $5,000,000 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:

                                                    1998       1997

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

                            (UNAUDITED)

 For the six month period ended May 31, 1998, the Company had net sales of 
$20,122,701 and net income of $1,180,799 after a provision for income taxes of
$745,992 (net of consolidated subsidiary's deficiency of $14,283), as compared 
to net sales of $19,169,701  and net income of $1,016,713 after a provision 
for income taxes of $712,795 for the six month period ended May 31, 1997.  
Gross margins of 62% for the six months were down from the 63% of the prior 
year.  Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures 
decreased during the six month period from $4,511,451 to $4,108,340.  
Advertising expenditures were 20% of sales for the six months ended May 31, 
1998 as compared with 23.5% for the period ended May 31, 1997. 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.  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 $889,000 is accordingly reflected in the balance 
sheet for the interim period, as compared to $697,000 at May 31, 1997.  This 
deferral is the result of the Company's $5 million 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 lower expenditures in the 3rd and 4th quarters.  Specifically, the 
Company spent approximately $3.03 million in the first six months on media 
advertising and, therefore, expensed $2.5 million and deferred $.53 million as 
of May 31, 1998.  Similarly, as of May 31, 1998 the Company's co-op advertising 
commitments for the year ended November 30, 1997 totaled approximately $3 
million of which approximately $1.86 million was spent in the first six months
resulting in an expense of $1.5 million and a deferral of approximately $.36 
million as of May 31, 1998.

 Comparatively as of May 31, 1997, the Company had anticipated media 
advertising expense in fiscal year 1997 of $5.2 million and spent approximately 
$3.03 million in the first six months resulting in a deferral of approximately 
$.43 million ($3.03MM-$2.6MM). The anticipated Co-op commitments as of May 31, 
1997 were $3 million for the year of which $1.77 million were spent for the 
six months resulting in a $.27 million deferral ($1.77MM-$1.5MM).

 Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased compared to 
the prior year.  The increase to 30.5% from 29.5% was due mostly to salary 
increases and the "SG&A" expense incurred by the Company's newly formed 
subsidiary relative to its initial two months' disproportionate sales volume.

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

                            (UNAUDITED)



 For the three month period ended May 31, 1998, net sales were $10,770,270 as
compared to $10,552,412 for May 31, 1997.  Income for the quarter before taxes
increased to $804,844 from $706,712.  Gross margins of 62% for the three 
months ended May 31, 1998 were down from 63% in 1997.  Advertising, 
cooperative and promotional allowance expense during the quarter decreased to 
$1,947,555 from $2,341,726.  Advertising expenses were 18% of sales for the 
quarter in 1998 as compared to 22% in 1997.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses were approximately 30.5% in the current quarter as 
compared to 27.5% in 1997.  

 All of the Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food chains 
and mass merchandisers throughout the United States.

 The Company's financial position as at May 31, 1998 consists of current assets 
of $19,866,513 and current liabilities of $8,120,525.  During the six month 
period ended May 31, 1998, shareholders' equity increased from $13,727,991 at 
November 30, 1997 to $14,895,213 at May 31, 1998.  This was due primarily to 
the net income generated for the period. 
 
 During the six months, the Company used $2.23 million in operations, generated
$697,000 from new borrowings, and used approximately $347,000 to purchase fixed
assets and additional marketable securities.  These factors resulted in a net 
decrease in the Company's cash of about $1,880,000.

 The Company believes that its current financial condition is sufficient to 
support its proposed operations for the near future.
