2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        On February 16, 2009, the Company sold its Trade Secret salon concept (Trade Secret). The Company concluded, after a comprehensive review of strategic and financial options, to divest Trade Secret. The sale of Trade Secret included 655 company-owned salons and 57 franchise salons, all of which had historically been reported within the Company's North America reportable segment. The sale of Trade Secret included Cameron Capital I, Inc. (CCI). CCI owned and operated PureBeauty and BeautyFirst salons which were acquired by the Company on February 20, 2008.

        The Company concluded that Trade Secret qualified as held for sale as of December 31, 2008, under accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived asset guidance, and is presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The operations and cash flows of Trade Secret have been eliminated from ongoing operations of the Company and there will be no significant continuing involvement in the operations after disposal pursuant to guidance in determining whether to report discontinued operations. The agreement included a provision that the Company would supply product to the purchaser of Trade Secret and provide certain administrative services for a transition period. Under this agreement, the Company recognized $20.0 and $32.2 million of product revenues on the supply of product sold to the purchaser of Trade Secret and $1.9 and $2.9 million of other income related to the administrative services during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The agreement was substantially complete as of September 30, 2009.

        Beginning within the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company has an agreement in which the Company provides warehouse services to the purchaser of Trade Secret. Under the warehouse services agreement, the Company recognized $2.7 and $3.0 million of other income related to warehouse services during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        The following table provides the amounts due to the Company from the purchaser of Trade Secret:

        During fiscal year 2010, the Company entered into a formal note receivable agreement with the purchaser of Trade Secret. On July 6, 2010, the purchaser of Trade Secret filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The purchaser of Trade Secret emerged from bankruptcy in October 2010 and in conjunction, the note receivable agreement was amended. The note receivable agreement accrues interest at 8.0 percent which is payable quarterly beginning in December 2010. Principal payments of $0.5 million are due quarterly beginning in December 2011 with the remainder of the principal due in September 2015.

        During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company did not receive a scheduled interest payment related to the outstanding note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret, the fair value of the collateral decreased to a level below the carrying value of the outstanding note receivable, and the purchaser of Trade Secret provided the Company with a new five year business plan that was well below the purchaser of Trade Secret's original projections. Due to these factors that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company evaluated the note receivable for realizability based on a probability weighted expected future cash flow analysis. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded a $9.0 million valuation reserve for the excess of the carrying value of the note receivable over the present value of expected future cash flows.

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company did not receive a scheduled interest payment related to the outstanding note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret and the fair value of the collateral continued to decrease and was at a level significantly below the carrying value of the outstanding note receivable. In addition, the Company received updated financial projections that were below the projections received during the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Due to these negative financial events in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company performed an extensive evaluation on the Company's option to realize the collateral under the note receivable and recorded an additional $22.2 million valuation reserve that fully reserved the carrying value of the note receivable as of June 30, 2011.

        The Company has determined the collectibility of accrued interest on the note receivable to be less than probable. The Company suspended recognition of interest income effective April 2010, has recorded a valuation allowance of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2011 related to the accrued interest, and will use the cash basis method for recognizing future interest income. During fiscal year 2011, the Company received interest payments from the purchaser of Trade Secret totaling $0.8 million.

        The following table summarizes the activity in the valuation allowance related to the note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret:

Valuation Allowance		For the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2011

Balance at July 1, 2010		$	(611	)
	Provision associated with nonaccrual status of interest income		(688	)
Balance at September 30, 2010		$	(1,299	)
	Provision associated with nonaccrual status of interest income		(670	)

	Cash payments		150
Balance at June 30, 2011		$	(33,693	)

        The Company utilized the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not Trade Secret was a VIE, and if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of Trade Secret. The Company concluded that Trade Secret is a VIE based on the fact that the equity investment at risk in Trade Secret is insufficient. The Company determined that the purchaser of Trade Secret has met the power criterion due to the purchaser of Trade Secret having the authority to direct the activities that most significantly impact Trade Secret's economic performance. The Company concluded based on the consideration above that the primary beneficiary of Trade Secret is the purchaser of Trade Secret. The exposure to loss related to the Company's involvement with Trade Secret is the carrying value of the amount due from the purchaser of Trade Secret and the guarantee of approximately 40 operating leases. The Company has determined the exposure to the risk of loss on the guarantee of the operating leases to be reasonably possible. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the guaranteed leases.

        The income (loss) from discontinued operations is summarized below:

	For the Years Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2009
	(Dollars in thousands)
Revenues	$	—	$	—	$	163,436
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, before income taxes		—		154		(190,433	)
Income tax benefit on discontinued operations		—		3,007		58,997
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	—	$	3,161	$	(131,436	)

        During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded a $3.0 million tax benefit in discontinued operations to correct the prior year calculation of the income tax benefit related to the disposition of the Trade Secret salon concept. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to its results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 or its financial position or results of operations of any prior periods.
