Changes to the inventory obsolescence reserves are recorded as an increase or decrease to the cost of goods. The inventory reserve was increased by $271,153 during the second quarter of 2010 as a result of the voluntary recall of the Plus White whitening gel.

The deferred income tax asset increased to $1,509,158 as of May 31, 2010 from $1,193,745 as of November 30, 2009. The Company expects that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized within the next twelve month period subsequent to May 31, 2010. The deferred tax assets include $89,313 related to the Companys unrealized losses of $223,841 on its investments as of May 31, 2010.

There is no valuation allowance against the deferred tax benefit from unrealized losses at May 31, 2010, as the Company believes that if the unrealized losses were realized, the full amount of the deferred tax benefit would also be realized in the subsequent twelve months, based on capital gains earned over the prior three years and anticipated gains over the next year. The deferred tax liability increased to $117,154 at May 31, 2010 as compared to $76,929 as of November 30, 2009.

Shareholders equity decreased to $29,003,190 as of May 31, 2010 from $30,219,848 as of November 30, 2009.
