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 nine month period ended August 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., ("FCA"), which manufactures and distributes
 perfume products.

 During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, CCA adopted a formal plan to
 dispose of the intangible assets and substantially all of the inventory of
 FCA. CCA anticipates the disposal to be completed by the last quarter of
 fiscal 2000.  As a result, inventory has been written down to expected net
 realizable value.  In addition, CCA has written off intangible assets
 associated with the acquisition of and advances to FCA.  The previous
 periods financial statements have been restated to give effect to the
 discontinued operations.

 Components of discontinued operations consist of:

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.

 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 obsoles
 cence is determined.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization

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

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

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

   Intangible assets are stated at cost.  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.

   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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

   Earnings Per Common Share:

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
   ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" in 1998.  Basic earnings per share
   is calculated using the average number of shares of common stock
   outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per share is computed on the
   basis of the average number of common shares 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:

                                    August 31,         November 30,

   licenses, customer lists, know-how, etc.) from Shiara, Inc. as well as
   certain inventory.  The costs incurred to date ($529,739) with regard to the
   acquisition, in excess of the fair market of the inventory obtained, had
   been recorded as intangible assets on FCA's books but has consequently been
   written off in full in conjunction with the discontinuance of FCA's perfume
   lines.  During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company wrote off
   $66,875 of accumulated amortization associated with the disposal of FCA.

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 $1,551,113 is accordingly reflected
   in the balance sheet for the interim period.  This deferral is the result of
   the Company's $5,300,000 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 nine month period ended August 31, 1999, the Company adopted a
plan for substantially discontinuing operations of its fragrance subsidiary
company, Fragrance Corporation of America, Ltd.  As a one time loss, it wrote
off $1,476,226 primarily consisting of intangible assets and substantially all
of the inventory of its subsidiary and incurred $919,052 of losses from dis-
continued operations resulting in a net after taxes charge to income of
$1,451,509.

  For the nine month period for the continuing operations, the Company had
revenues of $28,585,680 and net income of $612,018 after a provision for income
taxes of $290,648, as compared to revenues of $29,704,565 and net income of
$1,601,711 after a provision for income taxes of $1,004,141.

  Net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 of $28,398,978 were
down approximately $1,050,000 from the 1998 sales for nine months of
$29,449,621.  Sales returns continue to run approximately 8% of gross sales.
Other income of $186,702 versus $254,944 was less due to the decrease in the
company's interest income due to their use of cash in financing FCA.  Gross
margins of 61% for the nine months were down from 62.8% from the prior year.

  Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expenditures decreased
during the nine month period from $6,748,631 to $6,636,603.  Advertising
expenditures were 23.4% of sales for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 as
compared with 23% for the period ended August 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 pro-
motions 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 $1,551,113 is accordingly reflected in the balance
sheet for the interim period, as compared to $1,575,814 at August 31, 1998.
This deferral is the result of the Company's $5.3 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 $4.71 million in the nine months on media adver-
tising and, therefore, expensed $3.98 million and deferred $.73 million as of
August 31,1999.  Similarly, as of August 31, 1999,  the Company's co-op
advertising commitments for the year ended November 30, 1999 are anticipated
to be approximately $3.3 million of which approximately $3.3 million was spent
in the first nine months resulting in an expense of $2.48 million and a
deferral of approximately $.82 million as of August 31, 1999.

  Comparatively as of August 31, 1998, the Company had anticipated media
advertising expense in fiscal year 1998 of $5.5 million and spent approximately
$5.25 million in the first nine months resulting in a deferral of approximately
$1.12 million.  The anticipated Co-op commitments as of August 31, 1998 were
$3.1 million for the year of which $2.78 million were spent for the nine months
resulting in a $.45 million deferral.

              OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           (UNAUDITED)

 Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased compared to
the prior year.  The increase to $9,509,870 from $8,855,642 was due mostly to
the cost of improving the software programs to comply with the Y2K issues, the
introduction of a website and additional sales promotions and warehouse.

 For the three month period ended August 31, 1999, net sales were $8,631,951
as compared to $9,774,723  for August 31, 1998.  Income for the quarter before
taxes decreased to $134,298 from $553,948.  Gross margins of approximately
60% for the three months ended August 31, 1999 were down from 65% in 1998.
Advertising, cooperative and promotional allowance expense during the quarter
decreased to $1,851,391 from $2,683,437.  Advertising expenses were 21.45%
of sales for the quarter in 1999 as compared to 27.45% in 1998.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately 36.5% in the current
quarter as compared to 31.2% in 1998.

 Research and development expenses for the three and nine 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 decreased due to the reduction in reserves
on the decreasing accounts receivable.  Actual write-offs were approximately
$42,000 in 1999 as compared to none in 1998.  The Company's interest expense
of $108,626, all of which was attributable to its discontinued operations, was
up from $4,305 for the prior year period.

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

 The Company's financial position as at August 31, 1999 consists of current
assets of $20,045,082 and current liabilities of $8,106,542.  The Company's
cash position increased due mostly to the liquidation of some of its marketable
securities.  The Company's accounts payable decreased by $53,425.  During the
nine month period ended August 31, 1999, shareholders' equity decreased from
$15,591,651 at November 30, 1998 to $14,665,544 at August 31, 1999.  This was
due primarily to the net loss generated for the period.

 During the nine months, the Company used $513,000 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 $118,000 to purchase new fixed assets;
and generated, $350,000 from new borrowings and approximately $1,037,000 from
the net liquidations of securities.  These factors resulted in a net increase
in the Company's cash of about $294,000.

         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, in-
cluding, 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
substantially modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereeafter.  The Company presently believes that with these modifications to
existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will
not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems.  However,
if such modifications 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 adverse 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 pos-
sibly, 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.
