                                     PART I


Item 1. BUSINESS

  (a) General

     CCA INDUSTRIES, INC. (hereinafter, the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware on March 25, 1983.

     The Company operates in one industry segment, which may be described
generally as the health-and-beauty aids business, selling numerous products, in
several health-and-beauty categories.  Substantially all are manufactured by
contract manufacturers, pursuant to the Company's specifications and 
formulations.

     The Company owns (or owns license to use) registered trademarks for all of
its brand-name products.  Thus, its nail treatment products are sold under the
trademarked names "Nutra Nail" and "Nutra 60"; hair treatment products are sold
under the names "Pro Perm," "Wash 'n Curl," "Wash n Tint" and "Wash 'n 
Straight"; depilatory products under the name "Hair Off"; skin care products 
under the name "Sudden Change"; oral health-care products under the name 
"Plus+White"; and dietary products under the names "Eat 'n Lose," "Hungrex 
Plus" and "Permathene."
     
     A substantial number of the Company's products are sold under exclusive
license agreements.  (See "Business-License Agreements")  All of the licensed
products and the Company's "wholly-owned" products, are sold to major drug and
food chains, mass merchandisers, and wholesale beauty-aids distributors 
throughout the United States and Canada.  Foreign sales accounted for 
approximately 5.34% of sales.

     Including the principal members of management (see Directors and Executive
Officers), the Company, at November 30, 1997, had 132 sales, administrative,
creative, accounting, receiving, and warehouse personnel in its employ.

  (b) Manufacturing and Shipping

     The Company manufactures its hot-wax depilatory 'in house.' Otherwise, the
Company creates 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 several manufacturers and suppliers.  Almost 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.


<PAGE>

  (c) Marketing

     The Company markets its products through an in-house sales force of
employees, and independent sales representatives throughout the United States. 
Major drug, food and mass-merchandise retail chains, and leading wholesalers, 
are the primary focus of the overall sales effort.

     The Company sells its products to approximately 600 accounts, most of 
which have numerous outlets.  (The Company estimates that at least one of its 
brands is sold in approximately 40,000 stores.)  During the fiscal year ended 
November 30, 1997, the Company's two largest customers accounted for 
approximately 25% (WalMart) and 12% (Walgreen) of the Company's sales revenues.
(None other accounted for as much as 10%.)  The loss of any of these principal 
customers could materially and negatively effect the Company's earnings.

     Sales of the Company's products are not seasonally dependent. 
Nevertheless, certain products are sensitive to seasonal trends.  For example, 
sales of depilatories and diet aids, customarily, are considerably stronger in 
spring and summer months.

     The Company has an in-house advertising department.  The advertising staff
designs point-of-purchase displays (including 'blister cards'), sales brochures
and packaging layouts.  Actual production of displays, brochures, layouts and 
the like is accomplished through contract suppliers.

  (d) License Agreements

     On March 3, 1986, the Company entered into a license agreement with 
Alleghany Pharmacal Corporation (the "Alleghany Pharmacal License").  Under the 
terms of the Alleghany Pharmacal License, the Company was granted, and yet 
retains, the exclusive right to manufacture subject products, and to use their 
trademarks: "Nutra Nail," "Nutra 60," "Pro Perm," "Hair Off," "Permathane", 
"Hungrex Plus," and "IPR 3."

     The Alleghany Pharmacal License requires the Company to pay royalties of 
6% per annum on net sales of nail-enamel products sold under the "Nutra Nail"
trademark, hair-care products ("Pro-Perm") and dietary products ("Permathane,"
"Hungrex Plus" and "IPR 3"), and a 1% royalty for nail-enamel products sold 
under the name "Nutra 60," and for the mitten product sold for use in 
connection with the "Hair-Off" line of depilatory products.

     The Company is required to pay not less than $360,000 per annum in order 
to maintain the Alleghany Pharmacal License rights.   (Royalties have always 
exceeded the minimum; but, if they did not, the Company would be entitled to 
maintain the license rights by electing to pay the 'difference.'  At the same 

<PAGE>

time, the Company would not be required to pay any fee in excess of actual 
royalties if sales did not yield 'minimum royalties' and the Company chose 
in such circumstance to concede the rights.)

     The Alleghany Pharmacal License agreement provides that if, and when, in
aggregate, $9,000,000 in royalties has been paid thereunder, the royalty-rate 
for those products now 'charged' at 6% will be reduced to 1%.  As at November 
30, 1997, the Company had paid or accrued $5,671,760 in royalty payments.

     The products subject of the Alleghany-Pharmacal License accounted for
approximately 29.2% of sales in the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997.

     The Company has entered into various other license agreements, none of 
     which has had material impact upon the Company's sales or financial 
     results.

     The overwhelming majority of sales revenues other than those realized in
respect of Alleghany-Pharmacal License products are from sales of the Company's
own, 'wholly owned' products (e.g., Plus+White, Sudden Change, Wash-n-Curl and
others).

  (e) Advertising

     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 has attraction for a particular
demographic segment of the consumer market, and advertising campaigns are 
directed to the respective market-segments.

     The Company's in-house staff is responsible for the 'traffic' of its
advertising.  Placement is accomplished directly and through media-service
companies.

  (f) Trademarks

     The Company owns, or owns licensed-use of numerous trademarks for 
health-and-beauty aids products, which serve to identify the products and the 
Company's proprietary interests, for and in respect of domestic and 
international sales. The Company considers these marks to be valuable assets, 
but there can be no assurance that trademark registration results, or will 
result, in 'enforceable' marketplace advantages.

  (g) Competition
                                3
<PAGE>

     The market for cosmetics, health-and-beauty aids, fragrances, and patent
medicines is characterized by vigorous competition among producers, many of 
which have substantially greater financial, technological and marketing 
resources than the Company.  Competitors such as Revlon, L'Oreal, Colgate, 
Del Laboratories, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble, have Fortune 500 or like 
status, and public recognition of their products is immediate and 'universal.'  
Moreover, the Company and its products compete with a large number of 
manufacturers and distributors of lesser renown that may also have greater 
resources than the Company.

  (h) Government Regulation

     All of the products that the Company markets, or which the Company may
develop and plan for the market, 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 regulation or future regulation were 
to require particular regulatory approvals, the Company would attempt to obtain 
necessary approvals and/or licenses, assuming reasonable and sufficient market 
expectations for the regulated product(s) or planned product(s), but there 
can be no assurance, in the absence of particular circumstances, that any 
license requirements will result in approvals and issuance of licenses.  In 
the event such license-requirement circumstances should arise, delays inherent 
in any application-and-approval process could have a material adverse affect 
upon any subject operations or plan of operations.


Item 2. PROPERTY


     The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 200 Murray 
Hill Parkway, East Rutherford, New Jersey.  There, under a net lease, the 
Company occupies approximately 62,500 square feet of space.  Approximately 
45,000 square feet in such premises is used for warehousing and 17,500 for 
offices.  The annual rental is $259,284.  The lease expires on March 31, 2001,
but the Company has a five-year renewal option.

     The Company leases an additional 30,000 square feet of warehouse space in
Paterson, New Jersey, on a net lease basis, for $6,875 a month.  That lease
expires on September 30, 1998.


Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                                 4
<PAGE>

     The Company is not engaged in any material litigation, but is involved in
various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business activities.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS


     On July 15, 1997, the Company held its annual meeting of shareholders.  At
the meeting, David Edell, Ira W. Berman, Jack Polak, and Stanley Kreitman were
elected as directors by the holders of Class A Common Stock.  (No proxy was
solicited therefor, whereas Messrs.  Berman, Polak and David Edell own more 
than 98% of the Class A Common Stock, and they proposed themselves and Mr. 
Kreitman.) As proposed by the Board, Sidney Dworkin, Dunnan Edell and Rami 
Abada were elected as directors by the holders of the Common Stock, with 
3,726,000 votes 'for' the slate and 161,473 votes withheld.  Also, the Board's 
appointment of Sheft Kahn & Company LLP as the Company's independent certified 
public accountants for the 1997 fiscal year was approved, with 4,985,930 votes 
for and a total of 41,473 against or abstaining.

     The Company has not submitted any matter to a vote of security holders 
since the 1997 Annual Meeting.




                                     PART II


Item 5. MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK
        AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS


     The Company's Common Stock is traded on NASDAQ.  The range of high and low
bids during each quarter of the 1996 and 1997 fiscal years is as follows:


Quarter Ended                 1997                      1996 

February 28              3 3/8 - 2 1/16           2 1/2 - 1 1/16
May 31                   3 9/16 - 2 1/8           3 11/16 - 2 1/4 
August 31                3 3/8 - 2 9/16           5 1/8   - 3
November 30              3 5/8 - 2 3/8            3 1/16  - 2


     The published market value of the Common Stock as at February 6, 1998 was
2.438 high bid, and 2.5 low asked.

     The only unregistered securities sold by the Company during the 1997 

                                  5
<PAGE>
fiscal year resulted from sales of Common Stock effected upon exercises of 
Stock Options previously issued pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plans 
(see, "Executive Compensation"), as follows:

                                   Number         Per Share
   Date        Purchaser          of Shares     Consideration

Dec. 1996      David Edell         30,000          $ .50   
Dec. 1996      Ira W. Berman       30,000            .50    


     Each of the Purchasers is a director and/or officer.  (See, "Directors And
Executive Officers")  The registration exemption relied upon is that afforded 
by Section 4(2)  of the Securities Act of 1933.

     As at February 6, 1998, there were approximately 350 holders of shares of 
the Company's equity stock.  (There are a substantial number of shares held of 
record in various street and depository trust accounts which represent 
approximately 1000 additional shareholders.)

     The Company has never paid any Common Stock dividend.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Under the terms of the Alleghany Pharmacal License (see "Business-License
Agreements"), the royalty-rate for those Alleghany Pharmacal License products 
now 'charged' at 6% will be reduced to 1% after the sum of $9,000,000 in 
royalties has been paid thereunder.  (Certain products subject of the license 
are, even now, 'charged' at only 1%.  See "Business-License Agreements")

     As at November 30, 1997, the Company had paid or accrued $5,671,760 in
royalty payments.

Comparison of Results for Fiscal Years 1997 and 1996

     The Company's revenues decreased from $39,705,023 in fiscal 1996, to
$38,002,875 in fiscal 1997, due in part to the mergers and consolidations of 
major customers, which impacted upon previously planned sales promotions.

     Gross margins for the year were 62% in both 1997 and 1996.  Advertising,
cooperative and promotional expenses were $8,450,461 and 22% of sales, in 1997,
and $10,655,495 and 27% of sales, in 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,146,894 and 29.5% of
sales in 1997, and $11,408,154 and 29% of sales in 1996.  
     
Comparison of Results for Fiscal Years 1996 and 1995

     The Company's revenues for fiscal 1996 increased to $39,705,023, from
$37,166,730 in 1995.  The increase was due principally to a substantial 
increase in foreign sales, and a slight increase in domestic sales.
 
     Gross margins for the year were 62% in 1996 and 62% in 1995.  Advertising,
cooperative and promotional expenses were $10,655,496, and 27% of sales, in 
1996, and $13,332,216, and 36% of sales, in 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,408,154, and  29% of
sales in 1996, and $11, 253,543, and 31% of sales, in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As at November 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $11,024,121 as
compared to $9,070,115 at November 30, 1996.  The ratio of total current assets
                                    
                                        8

<PAGE>


to current liabilities was 3.14 to 1, as compared to a ratio of 2.82 to 1 for 
the prior year.  Stockholders' equity increased to $13,727,991 from 
$11,724,209.

     The Company's cash position at year end increased to $3,649,774 from
$1,422,783 as at November 30, 1996.  The increase came mostly from net cash
provided by operating activities of approximately $3,194,000.  The Company
utilized approximately $169,000 in the acquisition of property and equipment,
$20,000 for intangible assets, $40,000 for loans to officers, $5,000 to buy 
back treasury stock and $60,000 to increase its marketable security portfolio.

     Management adjusted its advertising budget in line with its sales 
projections for fiscal 1997, reducing its advertising, cooperative and 
promotional expenditures to $8,450,461 from $10,655,495.

     Sales decreased $1,760,176, from $39,469,098 in 1996 to $37,708,922 in 
1997. Gross profit margin on 1997 sales remained at the 62% achieved in 1996.  
Thus, assuming that same 62% margin, the decrease in sales 'cost' $1,091,309 
in gross-profit-margin terms, but was more than offset by the $2,205,034 
decrease in advertising, cooperative and promotional expenses, which 
substantially accounted for the pre-tax profit of $3,272,823 in 1997, compared 
to $1,914,626 in 1996.

     The Company's selling general and administrative expenses were 
substantially the same in 1997 and 1996 [$11,146,894 vs. $11,408,154].  
Inventories [$6,014,672 vs. $5,875,742] were up $138,930, and accounts 
receivable [$3,931,273 vs. $4,017,500] decreased $86,227.  Current liabilities 
[$5,139,768 vs. $4,983,870] increased by $155,898.  Cash at the beginning of 
the year was $1,422,783, and increased to $3,649,774 at year end.

     As of November 30, 1997, the Company had paid the remainder of a term note
from a banking institution, and still had a $3,000,000 line of credit at 1% 
below prime.  As at November 30, 1997, the Company was not utilizing any of the 
funds available under this credit line.  The Company has issued a security 
agreement in connection with the bank financing.

Inventory, Seasonality, Inflation and General Economic Factors

     The Company attempts to keep its inventory for every 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 
projected quarterly requirements, which are projected based upon sales 
indications received by the sales and marketing departments, and general 

                                         9
<PAGE>


business factors.  All of the Company's contract-manufacture 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.

     The Company does not believe that any of its products are seasonal in 
nature other than its depilatory and diet brands, which are more active during 
the Spring and Summer seasons.  The Company does not have a product that can 
be identified as a "Christmas" item.

     Because its 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 
circumstance that would negatively affect costs can be predicted, but if such 
circumstances should occur, they could have material and negative impact on 
the Company's net sales and revenues, unless the Company were able to pass 
along related cost increases to its customers.

(1) The figures shown as Potential Realizable Values are net gains that could 
be realized if assumed rates of appreciation of 5% and 10% per annum, were to 
result during the term of the options.  The SEC requires the presentation of 
these assumptions and information based thereon, and no part is intended to 
forecast possible future appreciation.  Actual net gains, if any, are dependent 
upon the actual future performance of the Company's Common Stock, and overall 
economic conditions.

officers, and reports a valuation of their options.

  iii. Compensation of Directors

     Each director was paid $2,000 per meeting for attendance of board meetings
in fiscal 1997 (without additional compensation for committee meetings); and
directors Rami G. Abada, Stanley Kreitman and Sidney Dworkin were each granted
25,000 options on August 1, 1997, exercisable through August 1, 2007, at $2.50 
per share.  The full board met three times in 1997. 

  iv.  Executive Compensation Principles;
       Audit and 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 Audit and Compensation Committee 
of the Board of Directors, comprised of David Edell, Ira W. Berman, Stanley 
Kreitman and Jack Polak, which met three times in 1997, has established a 
program to:


   * Reward executives for long-term strategic management and the enhancement 
     ofshareholder 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.


   v. Employment Contracts/Compensation Program

     The total compensation program consists of both cash and equity based
compensation.  The Audit and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") determines
the level of salary and bonuses, if any, for key executive officers other than

                                  18

<PAGE>

Messrs.  David Edell and Ira Berman.  The Committee determines the salary or
salary range based upon competitive norms.  Actual salary changes are based 
upon performance.

     Bonuses (see the Summary Compensation Tables), other than Mr. David 
Edell's and Mr. Berman's, were awarded in consideration of the Company's 
performance during 1997.

     On March 17, 1994, the Board of Directors approved 10-year employment
contracts for David Edell and Ira Berman (with Mr. Edell and Mr. Berman
abstaining).  Pursuant thereto, each was provided a base salary of $300,000 in
fiscal 1994, with a year-to-year CPI or 6% increment, and each is paid 2-1/2% 
of the Company's pre-tax income, less depreciation and amortization, plus 20% 
of the base salary, as bonus.

     Long-term incentives are provided through the issuance of stock options.

  vi. Stock Option Plans

     The Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan covered 1,500,000 shares of its Common
Stock.

     The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan covered 1,500,000 shares of its Common
Stock.

     The Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan covers 1,000,000 shares of its Common
Stock.

     The 1994 Option Plan provides (as had the 1984 and 1986 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 EmployeeRetirement 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 

                                  19

<PAGE>

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.

     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 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.

     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 

                                  20

<PAGE>

rights of the Company's outstanding capital stock must be at least 110% of the 
fair market value on the date of grant and the maximum term may not exceed 
five (5) years.

     Consequences to the Company: There are no Federal income tax consequences 
to the Company by reason of the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

     As at November 30, 1997, 1,529,500 stock options, yet exercisable, to
purchase 1,529,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock, were outstanding.

                   INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
CCA Industries, Inc.
East Rutherford, New Jersey

     We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of CCA Industries, Inc. 
and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of 
the three years in the period ended  November 30, 1997.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements and related schedules based 
on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain a reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and 
related schedules are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes 
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in 
the financial statements and related schedules.  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 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, 1997 and 1996, and the 
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the 
three years in the period ended November 30, 1997, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

     Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules
listed in the index to Item 14 are presented for purposes of complying with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic 
consolidated financial statements.  The supplemental schedules have been 
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basis 
financial statements and, in our opinion, present fairly, in all material 
respects, in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements.

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

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.  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.

 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 1997, two officers/shareholders exercised in the aggregate
 60,000 options in exchange for previously issued common stock.  The
 common shares were put into treasury and were subsequently cancelled.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 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.

   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.

            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.

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

NOTE 6 - SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES (Continued)

  During the year ended November 30, 1997 available-for-sale securities were
  liquidated and proceeds amounting to $2,657,227 were received, with
  resultant realized gains totaling $5,692.  Cost of available-for-sale 
  securities includes unamortized premium or discount.

NOTE 7 - PREPAID ROYALTY EXPENSE (DEFERRED)

  On March 3, 1986, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the
  "Agreement") with Alleghany Pharmacal Corporation ("Alleghany") under the
  terms of which the Company was granted the exclusive right to use the
  licensed products and trademarks for the manufacture and distribution of the
  products subject to the license.  Under the terms of the Agreement, on July
  5, 1986, the Company paid to Alleghany a non-refundable advance payment
  of $1,015,000.  The license runs for an indeterminate period.  An additional
  $525,000 non-refundable advance payment was paid to Alleghany on July 5,
  1987.

  From the period March 3, 1986 to June 3, 1986, the Company was required
  to pay a 7% royalty on all net sales.  Thereafter, it is required to pay a 6%
  royalty on net sales but no less than $360,000 per annum to maintain its
  license. After the sum of $9,000,000 in royalties has been paid to Alleghany,
  the royalty is reduced to 1% of net sales.  The Company has expanded the
  lines licensed from Alleghany and pays only 1% royalty on various new
  products created by the Company.  As of November 30, 1997, $5,671,760
  of royalties have been paid or accrued and only $3,328,240 still remains 
  until the $9,000,000 level is reached.
