filings.
That is, please include any disclosures regarding voting results
on a
timely basis.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data, page 10

7. Please expand your discussion to address the following:

* Provide a more in-depth discussion of underlying reasons for

amount of goods being sold or to the introduction of new products.

* Provide a discussion of prospective matters that may affect your
business including the impact of known material trends and
uncertainties.  Include information that will enable an investor
to
understand the company`s future prospects.

material changes in particular items underlying the major captions
reported in the financial statements rather than just reciting the

securities, provide a discussion in your liquidity and capital
resources section of your investment policies and objectives,
including the policy on investment concentrations, degree of risk,

explain this disparity.
* What does the $995,440 listed as dividends declared relate to -
the

* Please tell us exactly how many shares were issues in the stock

14. We note that you expense your advertising costs
proportionately
over the interim periods based on total expected costs.  Please
tell
us more about the nature of these costs and how you determined
that
the benefits of the expenditures clearly extend beyond the interim
period in which they are made.  Reference paragraph 16 (d) of APB

and SOP 93-7.

Note 5. Intangible Assets, page 12

15. Please tell us about the nature of your trademarks and how you
determined that a 15-17 year useful life was appropriate.

you

expected
life and expected volatility used to estimate the fair value of
your
options.  In your response, please include a discussion of why in
fiscal 2004 you determined that the expected life of your options
was
7 years while it appears that the contractual life is 5 years.

17. Tell us why there is no proforma effect of recognizing
compensation expense in accordance with FAS 123 for fiscal 2003

2002.  We note that your 10-KA for the year ended November 30,
2004
does have a proforma compensation expense recognized.  Please
explain
this disparity.

18. We note that you have repriced or extended the term of several
option grants.  Please tell us how you have accounted for these
modifications.  Reference FASB Interpretation No. 44.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies, page 27

20. Please tell us, with a view towards future disclosure, what
your
total royalty costs were by licensor for each year an income
statement was presented and where these costs were classified.

21. Please expand for us on the current status of the suits being
brought against you related to phenylpropanolamine.  For the suit
that is currently being defended, have you concluded that it is
reasonably possible that the outcome of the claim may be
unfavorable
to you?  If so, what do you estimate the possible loss, or range
of
loss to be?  In addition, please tell us who your insurance
carrier
is and what portion of your estimated loss would be covered.  For
the
suit that is currently in the process of being settled, when do
you
expect the settlement to be complete?  Finally, what is the
likelihood that any of the suits dismissed with prejudice will be
introduced?

22. We note that your leases for warehouse and office space
include a
rent escalation clause.  It appears that you are expensing the
lease
payments as they are incurred.  Please tell us what consideration
you
gave to recognizing the total lease expense on a straight line
basis
over the expected lease term.  Reference SFAS 13 and FTB 85-3.

Note 15. Earnings Per Share, page 30

23. Please disclose the amount of any options that were excluded
from
the calculation of diluted EPS because to include them would cause
anti-dilution.  See paragraph 40.c. of SFAS 128.
Schedule II, page 31

24. Please tell us how the accounts receivable allowance totals on
Schedule II reconcile to the amounts on the balance sheet. We note
that the allowance at November 30, 2003 of $895,723 agrees with
the
information in Schedule II.  The amounts at November 30, 2004 do
not
appear to agree.  We also note that the chronological order in
which
the allowance on the face of the balance sheet is presented is not
consistent with the order in which the accounts receivable balance
is
shown.  Please revise, as necessary.

25. We note that your accounts receivable allowance has decreased
significantly.  Please tell us supplementally why this has
happened
and ensure your Management`s Discussion and Analysis in future
filings adequately addresses this significant change in
management`s
estimate.
