                            (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial state-
 ments have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted ac-
 counting principles for interim financial information and with the instruc-
 tions 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.
 Operating results for the six month period ended May 31, 1999 are not
 necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
 ended November 30, 1999.  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,
 1998.

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 wholly-owned subsidiaries (CCA Cosmetics, Inc., CCA
 Labs, Inc., Berdell, Inc., Nutra Care Corporation, and CCA Online Industries,
 Inc.), all of which are currently inactive.

 In March of 1998 CCA acquired 80% of the newly organized Fragrance
 Corporation of America, Ltd. which manufactures and distributes perfume
 products.

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
 intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 Use of Estimates:

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

 Short-Term Investments and Marketable Securities:

 Short-term investments and marketable securities consist of corporate and
 government bonds and equity securities.  The Company has 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.

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 16,470 shares 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.  Intangible assets represents the
 excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is amortized
 over 60 months.  Patents and trademarks are amortized on the straight-line
 method over a period of 17 years.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   Financial Instruments:

   The carrying value of assets and liabilities considered financial instru-
   ments approximate their respective fair value.

   Income Taxes:

   Income tax expense includes federal and state taxes currently payable and
   deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for
   financial reporting and income tax purposes.

   Tax Credits:

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

   Earnings Per Common Share:

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
   ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" in 1998.  Basic earnings per share
   is calculated using the average number of shares of common stock
   outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per share is computed on the
   basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect
   of outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock method" and
   convertible debentures using the "if-converted" method.  Common stock
   equivalents consist of stock options.

   Revenue Recognition:

   The Company recognizes sales at the time delivery occurs.  Although no
   legal right of return exists between the customer and the Company, it is an
   industry-wide practice to accept returns from customers.  The Company,
   therefore, records a reserve for returns equal to its gross profit on its
   historical percentage of returns on its last five months sales.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES

   The components of inventory consist of the following:

                                      May 31,          November 30,

NOTE 7 - DEFERRED ADVERTISING

   In accordance with APB 28 Interim Financial Reporting the Company
   expenses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
   periods based on its total expected costs per its various advertising
   programs.  Consequently a deferral of $1,265,960 is accordingly reflected
   in the balance sheet for the interim period.  This deferral is the result
   of the Company's $6,000,000 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:

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

                            (UNAUDITED)

  For the six month period ended May 31, 1999, the Company had revenues of
$21,150,151 and net income of $317,676 (net of consolidated subsidiary's
deficiency in net loss of $64,883) after a provision for income taxes of
$98,406, as compared to revenues of $20,306,227 and net income of $1,180,799
after a provision for income taxes of $761,709 for the six month period ended
May 31, 1998.

  Net sales for the six months ended May 31, 1999 ($21,066,544) were up
approximately $944,000 from the 1998 sales for six months ($20,122,701)
primarily due to the sales of the Company's new subsidiary, Fragrance
Corporation of America, Inc. (FCA), whose sales consist of newly licensed per-
fumes.  FCA's net sales for the six months were $1.3 million.  Although con-
solidated sales returns continue to run approximately 7% to 8% of consolidated
gross sales, CCA's returns were only $1,015,000 on gross sales of approximately
$21,822,000 (approximately 5%) while FCA's returns were $416,000 on gross sales
of approximately $1,807,000 (approximately 23%).  The large percentage of
returns on FCA was due primarily to the large return of Christmas merchandise
coupled with some returns of product of Shiara Inc. (the Company which licensed
its perfume to FCA).  Other income ($84,000 vs. $184,000) was less due to the
decrease in the Company's interest income due to their use of cash in the
formation of FCA.  Gross margins of 60% for the six months were down from
approximately 61.5% the prior year.  This was primarily due to the lower
gross profit margins on FCA's sales.  Gross margins are expected to improve in
the future.

  Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures increased
during the six month period from $4,108,000 to $5,005,000.  Advertising
expenditures were 23.75% of sales for the six months ended May 31, 1999
as compared with 20.5% for the period ended May 31, 1998. 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 promo-
tions are successful, revenues will be increased accordingly.  Should the co-
op and promotions not be successful, it will have a negative impact on the
ompany'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 ex-
penses its advertising and related costs proportionately over the interim
Consequently, a deferral of $1,266,000 is accordingly reflected in the balance
sheet for the interim period, as compared to $889,000 at May 31, 1998.  This
deferral is the result of the Company's $6 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 4th quarter.  Specifically,
the Company spent approximately $3.32 million in the six months on media ad-
vertising and, therefore,expensed $3 million and deferred $.32 million as of
May 31,1999.  Similarly, as of May 31, 1999,  the Company's co-op advertising
commitments for the year ended November 30, 1999 are anticipated to be
approximately $3.5 million of which approximately $2.7 million was spent in
the first six months resulting in an expense of $1.75 million and a
deferral of approximately $.95 million as of May 31, 1999.

  Comparatively as of May 31, 1998, the Company had anticipated media
advertising expense in fiscal year 1998 of $5 million and spent approximately
$3.03 million in the first six months resulting in a deferral of approximately
$.53 million.  The anticipated Co-op commitments as of May 31, 1998 were $3
million for the year of which $1.86 million were spent for the six months
resulting in a $.36 million deferral.

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

                            (UNAUDITED)

 Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased compared to
the prior year.  The increase to $6,859,000 from $6,177,000 was due mostly to
the "SG&A" expenses ($564,000) incurred by the Company's newly formed sub-
sidiary.

 For the three month period ended May 31, 1999, net sales were $11,320,784 as
compared to $10,770,270 for May 31, 1998.  Income for the quarter before taxes
decreased to $256,615 from $804,844.  Gross margins of 60.5% for the three
months ended May 31, 1999 were down from 61.7% in 1998.  Advertising, co-
operative and promotional allowance expense during the quarter increased to
$2,935,000 from $1,947,000.  Advertising expenses were 26% of sales for the
quarter in 1999 as compared to 18% in 1998.  Selling, general and administra-
tive expenses were approximately 31% in the current quarter as compared to
30.5% in 1998.  During the three month period ended May 31, 1999, the Company
donated a substantial amount of inventory to charity which resulted in a
relatively large tax deduction and decreased its provision for taxes by
approximately $51,000.

 Research and development expenses for the three and six months were less due
to the economies of utilizing the services of more in-house staff rather than
outside consultants.

 Bad debt expense for the periods increased due to the necessary reserves on
the increasing accounts receivable.  Actual write-offs were approximately
$32,000 in 1999 as compared to none in 1998.  The Company's interest expense
increased to $79,000 from $1,000 due to the borrowing caused by the use of
cash to start up the FCA business.

 The Company's sales were primarily to drugstore chains, food chains and mass
merchandisers.

 The Company's financial position as at May 31, 1999 consists of current assets
of $23,038,588 and current liabilities of $10,255,010.  The Company's cash
position decreased due to the significant increase in its accounts receivable
partially due to the sales of its new subsidiary and mostly due to a general
slow down in payments by the major retailers.  The Company's accounts payable
also increased due to FCA's new business and the Company's extension of its
own payment terms.  During the six month period ended May 31, 1999, share-
holders' equity increased from $15,591,651 at November 30, 1998 to $15,894,674
at May 31, 1999.  This was due primarily to the net income generated for the
period.

 During the six months, the Company used $682,000 in operations, $454,000 to
pay for costs incurred relating to the acquisition of Shiara Inc's assets in
excess of their fair market value and $86,000 to purchase new fixed assets;
and generated, $350,000 from new borrowings and approximately $430,000 from
the net liquidations of securities.  These factors resulted in a net decrease
in the Company's cash of about $440,000.

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

                            (UNAUDITED)

 The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.

 Based on a 1998 assessment, the Company determined that it had to substan-
tially modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems
will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.
The Company presently believes that with these modifications to existing soft-
ware and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose sig-
nificant operational problems for its computer systems.  However, if such modi-
fications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year
2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

 The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its significant
service providers and suppliers, including its clearing broker, to determine
the extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to those
third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues.  The Company's
estimate to complete includes the estimated time associated with the impact of
third party's Year 2000 Issues based on presently available information.
However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which
the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and would not have an ad-
verse effect on the Company's systems.

 The Company does not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material
effect on any of the embedded technology in its manufacturing, warehousing or
distribution equipment.

 The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram, or
replace, and test the software for Year 2000 modifications.

 The Company believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications in a timely
fashion based on management's best estimate, which was derived utilizing
numerous assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of
certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors.  However,
there can be no guarantee that this estimate will be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated.  Specific factors that
might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to
locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.

 The cost of addressing the Company's Year 2000 issues is expected to be
approximately $400,000 to $500,000.  However, some of these costs should be
offset by a grant received from the State of New Jersey to help pay for the
retraining of the Company's staff.  The net cost should not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's cash flow or financial position. It could
possibly, however adversely effect the Company's earnings in the year the
majority of costs are incurred.  The Company is executing its Year 2000 plan
through its own employees as well as various computer consultants and vendors.
The Year 2000 testing and reprogramming is being done in conjunction with
other ongoing maintenance and reprogramming efforts.

 The Company has a contingency plan in place in the event their Year 2000 issue
is not resolved timely.
