NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information of Regis Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods.  Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below.  The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and cash flows for the full year.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet data for June 30, 2005 was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 and other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the current fiscal year.

With respect to the unaudited condensed financial information of the Company for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included in this Form 10-Q, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information.  However, their separate report dated February 8, 2006 appearing herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information.  Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.  PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

Cost of Product Used and Sold:

Product costs related to the sale of product or services to salon customers are determined by applying estimated gross profit margins to service and product revenues, which are based on historical factors including product pricing trends and estimated shrinkage.  In addition, the estimated gross profit margin is adjusted based on the results of physical inventory counts performed at least semi-annually.  Significant changes in product costs, volumes or shrinkage could have a material impact on the Company’s gross margin.  Product costs related to the sale of product to franchisees are determined by weighted average cost.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives (30 to 39 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for equipment, furniture and software).  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease term, generally ten years.  For leases with renewal periods at the Company’s option, management may determine at the inception of the lease that renewal is reasonably assured if failure to exercise a renewal option imposes an economic penalty to the Company.  In such cases, the Company will include the renewal option period along with the original stated lease period in the determination of appropriate estimated useful lives.

The Company capitalizes both internal and external costs of developing or obtaining computer software for internal use.  Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are capitalized, while data conversion, training and maintenance costs associated with internal-use software are expensed as incurred.  Amortization expense related to capitalized software is determined based on an estimated useful life of five or seven years.

7

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals and betterments which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed.  All other expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized.  The assets and related depreciation and amortization accounts are adjusted for property retirements and disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in operations.  Fully depreciated/amortized assets remain in the accounts until retired from service.

Deferred Rent and Rent Expense:

The Company leases most salon, beauty school and hair restoration center locations under operating leases.  Most lease agreements contain tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives, rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require rent expense to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  The difference between the rent due under the stated periods of the lease compared to that of the straight-line basis is recorded as deferred rent within other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For purposes of recognizing incentives and minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, the Company uses the date that it obtains the legal right to use and control the leased space to begin amortization, which is generally when the Company enters the space and begins to make improvements in preparation of intended use of the leased space.

For tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives and rent holidays, the Company records a deferred rent liability in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortizes the deferred rent as a reduction to rent expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the lease (including one renewal option period if renewal is reasonably assured based on the imposition of an economic penalty for failure to exercise the renewal option).

Certain lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses which provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease term or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy.  Such “stepped” rent expense is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term (including one renewal option period if renewal is reasonably assured based on the imposition of an economic penalty for failure to exercise the renewal option).

Certain leases provide for contingent rents, which are determined as a percentage of revenues in excess of specified levels.  The Company records a contingent rent liability in accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, along with the corresponding rent expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, when specified levels have been achieved or when management determines that achieving the specified levels during the fiscal year is probable.

Goodwill:

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at the time of a triggering event in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  The Company generally considers its various concepts to be reporting units when it tests for goodwill impairment because that is where the Company believes goodwill naturally resides.  During fiscal years 2004 and 2003, the estimated fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts, indicating no impairment of goodwill.  In fiscal year 2005, the Company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $38.3 million in the third quarter to write down the carrying value of the goodwill associated with the Company’s European business.  Fair values are estimated based on the Company’s best estimate of the expected present value of future cash flows and compared with the corresponding carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans:

Stock-based awards are granted under the terms of the 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (2004 Plan) and the 2000 Stock Option Plan. Additionally, the Company has outstanding stock options under its 1991 Stock Option Plan, although the Plan terminated in 2001.  Under these plans, three types of stock-based compensation awards are granted:  stock options, equity-based stock appreciation rights (SARS) and restricted stock.  Prior to July 1, 2003, the Company accounted for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25) and related Interpretations.  Under the provisions of APB No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

8

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS No. 123), as amended, using the prospective transition method.  Under the prospective method of adoption, compensation cost is recognized on all stock-based awards granted, modified or settled subsequent to July 1, 2003.  Under this approach, fiscal year 2005 compensation expense is less than it would have been had the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 been applied from its original effective date because the fair value of the options vesting during the year which were granted prior to fiscal year 2004 are not recognized as expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.  Options granted in fiscal years prior to the adoption of the fair value recognition provisions continued to be accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25 for fiscal year 2005.

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS No. 123R), using the modified prospective method of application.  Under this method, compensation expense is recognized both for (i) awards granted, modified or settled subsequent to July 1, 2003 and (ii) the remaining vesting periods of awards issued prior to July 1, 2003.  Compensation expense recorded during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 includes approximately $0.5 and $1.1 million related to awards issued subsequent to July 1, 2003 and $0.7 and $1.8 million related to unvested awards previously being accounted for on the intrinsic value method of accounting.

The impact of adopting FAS No. 123R for the Company’s second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2006 was an increase in compensation expense of $0.7 and $1.8 million ($0.5 and $1.2 million after tax) and a reduction of $0.01 and $0.03 for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2006, respectively.  The Company expects the total expense for stock-based awards during fiscal year 2006 to be approximately $4.9 million.  The adoption of FAS No. 123R is expected to incrementally increase before tax compensation expense computed using FAS No. 123 by approximately $2.7 million during fiscal 2006.  FAS 123R also requires that the cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of increases in the value of share-based arrangements be presented as a cash inflow from financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  In periods prior to the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, such amounts were presented as an operating activity.

The Company’s pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, which include pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts as if the fair value-based method of accounting had been used on awards granted prior to July 1, 2003 and thus being accounted under APB Opinion No. 25, was as follows:

	For the Periods Ended December 31, 2004,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)	Three Months			Six Months
Net income, as reported	$	26,484		$	51,676
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects	164			214
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based methods for all awards, net of related tax effects	(1,588		)	(3,157		)
Pro forma net income	$	25,060		$	48,733
Earnings per share:
Basic – as reported	$	0.59		$	1.16
Basic – pro forma	$	0.56		$	1.10
Diluted – as reported	$	0.57		$	1.11
Diluted – pro forma	$	0.54		$	1.05

There have been no stock-based compensation awards issued by the Company during the first six months of fiscal year 2006.

The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates.  As of December 31, 2005, 139,400 unvested restricted stock shares with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $38.80 were outstanding.  As of December 31, 2005, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation

9

arrangements was $11.1 million and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 3.3 years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In October 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during the Construction Period.”  FSP 13-1 requires rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases that are incurred during a construction period be recognized as rental expense.  FSP 13-1 becomes effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.  Regis currently recognizes these types of costs as rental expenses; therefore, the adoption of FSP 13-1 will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination.”  EITF 05-6 requires leasehold improvements purchased after the beginning of the initial lease term to be amortized over the shorter of the assets’ useful life or a term that includes the original lease term plus any renewals that are reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvements are purchased.  This guidance was effective for reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Based on the way the Company manages its business, it has reported its North American salons, international salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers as four separate segments.  Prior to quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company reported three segments: North American Salons, International Salons and Beauty Career Schools.  The acquisition of Hair Club for Men and Women allowed the Company to expand into a new line of business, and thereby created an additional segment (hair restoration centers) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005.

All intangible assets have been assigned an estimated finite useful life, and are amortized on a basis over the number of years that approximate their respective useful lives (ranging from four to 40 years).  The cost of the intangible assets are amortized to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in that reporting period.  The weighted average amortization periods, in total and by major intangible asset class, are as follows:

	Weighted Average
	Amortization Period
(Dollars in thousands)	(in years)
Amortized intangible assets:
Trade names	39
Customer list	10
Franchise agreements	20
Product license agreements	30
School-related licenses	40
Non-compete agreements	6
Other	19
Total	29

Total amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets was approximately $2.8 and $1.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively and $5.5 and $2.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  As of December 31, 2005, future estimated amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets is estimated to be:

(Dollars in thousands)

2007	10,970
2008	10,941
2009	10,839
2010	10,635

6.ACQUISITIONS:

During the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company made numerous acquisitions and the purchase prices have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition.  These acquisitions individually and in the aggregate are not material to the Company’s operations.  Operations of the acquired companies have been included in the operations of the Company since the date of the respective acquisition.

Based upon purchase price allocations, the components of the aggregate purchase prices of the acquisitions made during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the allocation of the purchase prices, were as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2005			2004
Components of aggregate purchase prices:
Cash	$	41,425		$	244,743
Liabilities assumed	34			6,490
	$	41,459		$	251,233
Allocation of the purchase price:
Current assets	$	3,453		$	8,523
Property and equipment	4,779			13,339
Other noncurrent assets	1			12,057
Goodwill	31,902			158,125
Identifiable intangible assets	6,509			127,726
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	(4,952		)	(18,017		)
Deferred income tax liability	(233		)	(50,520		)
	$	41,459		$	251,233

In a limited number of acquisitions, the Company has guaranteed that its common stock issued in conjunction with the acquisition will reach a certain market price.  If the stock should not reach this price during an agreed-upon time frame (typically three years from the date of acquisition), the Company is obligated to issue additional shares to the sellers.  Once the agreed-upon stock price is met or exceeded for a period of five consecutive days, the contingency is met and the Company is no longer liable.  Based on the December 31, 2005 market price, the Company would be required to provide an additional 132,461 shares with an aggregate market value on that date of $5.1 million related to these acquisition contingencies if the agreed-upon time frames were all assumed to have expired December 31, 2005.

The majority of the purchase price in salon acquisitions is accounted for as residual goodwill rather than identifiable intangible assets.  This stems from the value associated with the walk-in customer base of the acquired salons, which is not recorded as an identifiable intangible asset under current accounting guidance, as well as the limited value and customer preference associated with the acquired hair salon brand.   Key factors considered by consumers of hair salon services include personal relationships with individual stylists (driven by word-of-mouth referrals), service quality and price point competitiveness.  These attributes represent the “going concern” value of the salon.  While

15

the value of the acquired customer base is the primary driver of any potential acquisition’s cash flows (which determines the purchase price), it is neither known nor identifiable at the time of the acquisition.  The cash flow history of a salon primarily results from repeat walk-in customers driven by the existing personal relationship between the customer and the stylist(s).  Under FAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” a customer base does not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill.

Residual goodwill further represents the Company’s opportunity to strategically combine the acquired business with the Company’s existing structure to serve a greater number of customers through its expansion strategies.  In the acquisitions of international salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers, the residual goodwill primarily represents the growth prospects that are not captured as part of acquired tangible or identified intangible assets.  Generally the goodwill recognized in the North American salon transactions is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes and the goodwill recognized in the international salon transactions is non-deductible for tax purposes.  Goodwill generated in the Hair Club for Men and Women (Hair Club) acquisition (discussed below) is not deductible for tax purposes due to the acquisition structure of the transaction.

In December 2004, the Company purchased Hair Club for approximately $210 million, financed with debt.  Hair Club offers a comprehensive menu of hair restoration solutions ranging from Extreme Hair Therapy(TM) to the non-surgical Bio-Matrix(R) Process and the latest advancements in hair transplantation, based on an analysis of what is best for each customer’s situation.  This industry is comprised of numerous locations domestically and is highly fragmented. As a result, we believe there is an opportunity to consolidate this industry through acquisition, as well as cross-marketing of the Company’s products and services.  Expanding the hair loss business organically and through acquisition would allow us to add incremental revenue which is neither dependent upon nor dilutive to our existing salon and school businesses.

Hair Club operations have been included in the operations of the Company since the acquisition was completed on December 1, 2004, and are reported in Note 4 in the “hair restoration centers” segment.  Unaudited pro forma summary information is presented below for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2004, assuming the acquisition of Hair Club had occurred on July 1, 2003 (i.e., the first day of fiscal year 2004).  Preparation of the pro forma summary information was based upon assumptions deemed appropriate by the Company’s management.  The pro forma summary information presented below is not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated on the first day of fiscal year 2004, and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

For the Periods Ended, December 31, 2004

	Three Months				Six Months
(Dollars in thousands)	Actual		* ProForma		Actual		* ProForma
Revenue	$	537,332	$	553,432	$	1,043,554	$	1,084,165
Net Income	$	26,484	$	25,714	$	51,676	$	50,032
EPS	$	0.57	$	0.55	$	1.11	$	1.08

* Includes only the period prior to the acquisition.

These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments such as additional amortization expense as a result of identifiable intangible assets arising from the acquisition and from increased interest expense on acquisition debt.  Additionally, the pro forma results include management fees which are no longer incurred since the Company’s acquisition of the hair restoration centers.  The management fees included in the pro forma results above totaled approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and $0.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively.

7.LITIGATION:

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business.  Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide wage and hour violations.  The Company is currently a defendant in a collective action lawsuit in which the plaintiffs allege violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  The Company denies these allegations and will actively defend its position.  However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot

16

presently be determined.  Although company counsel believes that the Company has valid defenses in these matters, it could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

8.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On January 10, 2006, Regis Corporation announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby a subsidiary of Regis Corporation will merge with the Sally Beauty Company business unit of Alberto-Culver Company. Prior to the merger, Sally Beauty will be spun off by Alberto-Culver to its stockholders, and upon the merger each share of Sally Beauty will be converted into the right to receive 0.600 newly issued shares of Regis Corporation. As part of the transaction, Regis Corporation will also assume $400 million in debt. The transaction is expected to be completed in late spring or early summer of 2006 subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including obtaining the approval of shareholders of both Regis Corporation and Alberto-Culver Company, expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act, the obtaining of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service and the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the Regis Corporation common stock to be issued in the merger.  The corporate headquarters will be in Minneapolis and will retain the name Regis Corporation. Following the completion of the merger, Paul D. Finkelstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Regis Corporation, will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company.

On February 1, 2006, the Company entered into a series of forward contracts that call for the delivery of $3.5 million Canadian dollars over the period of July 2006 through January 2007 at an average rate of $1.139 Canadian dollar per U.S. dollar.  The Company has designated these forward contracts as hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of Regis Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Regis Corporation as of December 31, 2005 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and of cash flows for the six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income and of cash flows for the year then ended, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005; and in our report dated September 9, 2005, which contained explanatory paragraphs indicating the Company changed its method of accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements to begin expensing new awards as of July 1, 2003, we expressed unqualified opinions thereon.  In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company changed its method of accounting for equity-based compensation arrangements effective July 1, 2005.

Item 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
	FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results.  Our MD&A is presented in 5 sections:

•Management’s Overview

•Critical Accounting Policies

•Overview of Results

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW

Regis Corporation (RGS) is the beauty industry’s global leader in beauty salons, hair restoration centers and education. As of December 31, 2005, our worldwide operations included 11,086 system-wide North American and international salons, 90 hair restoration centers and 35 beauty schools. Each of our salon concepts offer generally similar products and services and serves mass-market consumers. Our salon operations are organized to be managed based on geographical location. Our North American salon operations include 9,029 salons, including 2,258 franchise salons, operating in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico primarily under the trade names of Regis Salons, MasterCuts, Trade Secret, SmartStyle, Supercuts and Cost Cutters. Our international salon operations include 2,057 salons, including 1,611 franchise salons, located throughout Europe, primarily in the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. In December 2004, we purchased Hair Club for Men and Women. This enterprise includes 90 North American locations, including 46 corporate and 44 franchise locations. Our beauty schools are managed in aggregate, regardless of geographical location, and include 31 locations in the United States and four locations in the United Kingdom. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, we had an average of approximately 55,000 corporate employees worldwide.

Our growth strategy consists of two primary, but flexible, building blocks. Through a combination of organic and acquisition growth, we seek to achieve our long-term objective of 10-to-14 percent annual revenue growth. We anticipate that going forward, the mix of organic and acquisition growth will be roughly equal. However, depending on several factors, including the ability of our salon development program to keep pace with the availability of real estate for new construction, student enrollment, hair restoration lead generation, the availability of attractive acquisition candidates and same-store sales trends, this mix will vary from year-to-year. We believe achieving revenue growth of 10-to-14 percent, including same-store sales increases in excess of two percent, will allow us to increase annual earnings at a low-to-mid teen percent growth rate. We anticipate expanding our presence in both North America and Europe. Additionally, we desire to enter the Asian market within the next five years.

Maintaining financial flexibility is a key element in continuing our successful growth. With strong operating cash flow and balance sheet, we are confident that we will be able to financially support our long-term growth objectives.

Salon Business

The strength of our salon business is in the fundamental similarity and broad appeal of our salon concepts that allow flexibility and multiple salon concept placements in shopping centers and neighborhoods. Each concept generally targets the middle market customer, however each attracts a different demographic. We anticipate expanding all of our salon concepts. In addition, we anticipate testing and developing new salon concepts to complement our existing concepts.

We execute our salon growth strategy by focusing on real estate. Our salon real estate strategy is to add new units in convenient locations with good visibility and customer traffic, as well as appropriate trade demographics. Our various salon and product concepts operate in a wide range of retailing environments, including regional shopping malls, strip centers and Wal-Mart Supercenters. We believe that the availability of real estate will augment our ability to achieve the aforementioned long-term growth objectives. We anticipate that we will add up to 1,100 net locations each year through a combination of organic, acquisition and franchise growth.

19

Organic salon revenue growth is achieved through the combination of new salon construction and salon same-store sales increases. Each fiscal year, we anticipate building several hundred corporate salons. We anticipate our franchisees will open several hundred salons as well. Older, unprofitable salons will be closed or relocated. Our long-term outlook for our salon business is for annual consolidated low single-digit same-store sales increases. Based on current fashion and economic cycles (e.g., longer hairstyles and lengthening of customer visitation patterns), we project our annual fiscal year 2006 consolidated same-store sales increase to be below the low end of our long-term outlook range.

Historically, our salon acquisitions have varied in size from as small as one salon to over one-thousand salons. The median acquisition size is approximately ten salons. From fiscal year 1994 to fiscal year 2006, we completed 360 acquisitions, adding a net of 7,188 salons. We anticipate adding several hundred corporate salons each year from acquisitions. Some of these acquisitions may include buying salons from our franchisees.

Hair Restoration Business

In December 2004, we acquired Hair Club for Men and Women.  Hair Club for Men and Women is the industry leading provider of hair loss solutions with an estimated five percent share of the $4 billion domestic market. This industry is comprised of numerous locations domestically and is highly fragmented. As a result, we believe there is an opportunity to consolidate this industry through acquisition. Expanding the hair loss business organically and through acquisition would allow us to add incremental revenue which is neither dependent upon, nor dilutive to, our existing salon and school businesses.

Our organic growth plans for hair restoration include the construction of a modest number of new locations in untapped markets domestically and internationally. However, the success of our hair restoration business is not dependent on the same real estate criteria used for salon expansion. In an effort to provide confidentiality for our customers, hair restoration centers operate primarily in professional or medical office buildings.  Further, the hair restoration business is more marketing intensive. As a result, organic growth at our hair restoration centers will be dependent on successfully generating new leads and converting them into hair restoration customers.  Our growth expectations for our hair restoration business are not dependent on referral business from, or cross-marketing with, our hair salon business, but will be evaluated closely for additional growth opportunities.

Beauty School Business

We have begun acquiring and are exploring the possibility of building beauty schools. The beauty school business is highly profitable, and often participates in governmental programs designed to encourage education. We believe there is an opportunity to place graduates in our various salon concepts which may provide us with another competitive advantage. Similar to the salon and hair loss industries, the beauty school industry is highly fragmented. As a result, we believe there is an opportunity to consolidate this industry through acquisition, as well. Expanding this business would allow us to add incremental revenue without cannibalizing our existing salon or hair restoration center businesses. Primarily through acquisition, we believe beauty schools could contribute over $100 million in annual revenue within a few years.

Our organic growth plans for the beauty school business include the construction of new locations; however, due to U.S. Department of Education policies, we will be limited in the number of new schools we are able to construct in the immediate future. The success of a beauty school location is not dependent on good visibility or strong customer traffic; however, access to parking and/or public transportation is important. The success of existing and newly constructed schools is dependent on effective marketing and recruiting to attract new enrollees.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to make various judgments, estimates and assumptions that could have a significant impact on the results reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  We base these estimates on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Changes in these estimates could have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of the June 30, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  We believe the accounting policies related to the valuation of goodwill, the valuation and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, purchase price allocations, revenue recognition, the cost of product used and sold, self-insurance accruals, legal contingencies and estimates used in relation to tax liabilities and deferred taxes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial condition and results of operations.  Discussion of each of these policies is contained under “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our June 30, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  There were no significant changes in or application of our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended December 31, 2005.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

•Second quarter diluted earnings per share increased 3.5 percent to 59 cents per diluted share.  Revenues increased 12.9 percent to $607 million.  Consolidated same-store sales increased 1.2 percent.  Hurricane Wilma, coupled with the residual effects of hurricanes Katrina and Rita that struck during the first quarter, further reduced second quarter revenues by an estimated $2.5 million.  Due to these hurricanes, 15 salons are still not operating, and are not expected to contribute to revenue or operating profit the remainder of the year. We also provided emergency compensation or disaster pay to our stylists in the affected areas immediately following the storms.

•During the quarter, we acquired 19 (including the buyback of 5 hair restoration centers) salons.  We built 138 corporate salons and closed or relocated 41 salons.  Organic and acquisition activity led to a net increase of 140 corporate units (including beauty schools) during the quarter.  Our franchisees built 76 salons and closed or sold back to us 51 salons, for a net increase of 25 franchise salons during the quarter.  As of December 31, 2005, we had 7,217 company owned salons, 3,869 franchise salons, 35 beauty schools and 90 hair restoration centers (46 company-owned and 44 franchise locations).

•Total debt at the end of the quarter was $579 million and our debt-to-capitalization ratio, calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and shareholder’s equity at fiscal quarter end, improved to 41.6 percent.

Consolidated Revenues

Consolidated revenues include revenues of company-owned salons, product and equipment sales to franchisees, beauty school revenues, hair restoration center revenues, and franchise royalties and fees.  During the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006, consolidated revenues increased 12.9 percent to $606.6 million and 14.1 percent to $1.2 billion, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.  The following table details our consolidated revenues by concept:

	For the Periods Ended December 31,
	Three Months						Six Months
(Dollars in thousands)	2005			2004			2005			2004

Salon same-store sales increase **	1.2		%	0.4		%	1.0		%	0.7		%

*Includes aggregate franchise royalties and fees of $19.2 and $19.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $38.7 and $38.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  North American salon franchise royalties and fees represented 51.1 and 49.8 percent of total franchise revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 50.8 and 52.2 percent of total franchise revenues in the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

**Salon same-store sales increases or decreases are calculated on a daily basis as the total change in sales for company-owned salons which were open on a specific day of the week during the current period and the corresponding prior period.  Quarterly and year-to-date salon same-store sales increases are the sum of the same-store sales increases computed on a daily basis.  Relocated salons are included in same-store sales as they are considered to have been open in the prior period.  International same-store sales are calculated in local currencies so that foreign currency fluctuations do not impact the calculation.  Management believes that same-store sales, a component of organic growth, are useful in order to help determine the increase in salon revenues attributable to its organic growth (new salon construction and same-store sales growth) versus growth from acquisitions.

The 12.9 and 13.7 percent increases in consolidated revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 14.1 and 11.8 percent increases in consolidated revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were driven by the following:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues
	For the Periods Ended December 31,
	Three Months				Six Months
	2005		2004		2005		2004
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	9.3	%	7.4	%	10.3	%	6.5	%
Organic growth	4.7		5.3		4.6		4.6
Foreign currency	(0.5	)	1.5		(0.1	)	1.4
Franchise revenues	(0.1	)	0.1		(0.1	)	—
Closed salons	(0.5	)	(0.6	)	(0.6	)	(0.7	)
	12.9	%	13.7	%	14.1	%	11.8	%

23

We acquired 377 salons (including 131 franchise salon buybacks, which includes 5 hair restoration centers), 90 hair restoration centers (including 46 company-owned) and 20 beauty schools during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.  The organic growth stemmed from the construction of 543 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, the foreign currency impact was driven by the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British pound and Euro partially offset by the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates.  The impact of foreign currency was calculated by multiplying current year revenues in local currencies by the change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal year and the prior fiscal year.

Consolidated revenues are primarily comprised of service and product revenues, as well as franchise royalties and fees.  Fluctuations in these three major revenue categories were as follows:

Service Revenues.  Service revenues include revenues generated from company-owned salons, tuition and service revenues generated within our beauty schools, and service revenues generated by hair restoration centers.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, total service revenues were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended December 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage
Three Months
2005	$	399,278	$	42,131	11.8	%
2004	357,147		50,517		16.5
Six Months
2005	$	790,247	$	93,665	13.4	%
2004	696,582		87,000		14.3

The growth in service revenues in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was driven primarily by acquisitions and organic growth in our salons (new salon construction and same-store sales growth).  In addition, there was a same-store service sales increase of 1.1 percent in fiscal year 2006, compared to an increase of 0.9 percent in fiscal year 2005.  Revenues were negatively impacted during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 in the south and southeast United States, respectively, as a result of various hurricanes.  These hurricanes caused nearly 2,700 and 5,100 lost salon days and a reduction in revenues of $2.5 and $4.5 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006, respectively.

Product Revenues.  Product revenues are primarily comprised of retail sales at company-owned salons, sales of product and equipment to franchisees, and retail product sales made by our beauty schools and hair restoration centers.  Total product revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended December 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage
Three Months
2005	$	188,108	$	27,859	17.4	%
2004	160,249		12,807		8.7
Six Months
2005	$	361,860	$	53,492	17.3	%
2004	308,368		21,266		7.4

The growth in product revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 was mainly due to acquisitions, specifically the addition of hair restoration centers, which drove an 800 basis point increase in product revenues.  In addition, there was a same-store product sales increase of 0.8 percent in fiscal year 2006, compared to an increase of 0.1 percent in fiscal year 2005.  The growth in product revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2005 was primarily driven by a trend towards sales of higher priced beauty tools, such as flat irons.

24

Franchise Royalties and Fees.  Total franchise revenues, which include royalties and franchise fees, were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase(Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended December 31,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage
Three Months
2005	$	19,237	$	(699	)	(3.5	)%
2004	19,936		1,556			8.5
Six Months
2005	$	38,745	$	141		0.4	%
2004	38,604		2,115			5.8

Total franchise locations open at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were 3,913 (including 44 franchise hair restoration centers) and 3,973 (including 49 franchise hair restoration centers), respectively.  We purchased 131 (including 5 hair restoration centers) of our franchise salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, which drove the overall decrease in the number of franchise salons between periods.

The decrease in consolidated franchise revenues during the second quarter ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the unfavorable foreign currency fluctuation as well as 131 (including 5 hair restoration centers) franchise buybacks during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

The increase in consolidated franchise revenues during the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2004, was due to favorable foreign currency fluctuations, opening more new international franchise salons and the acquisition of the franchise hair restoration centers.

Gross Margin (Excluding Depreciation)

Our cost of revenues primarily includes labor costs related to salon employees, beauty school instructors and hair restoration center employees, the cost of product used in providing services and the cost of products sold to customers and franchisees.  The resulting gross margin for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Total		Margin as % of Service and Product		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Margin		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*
Three Months
2005	$	264,589	45.0	%	$	35,189	15.3	%	70

*Represents the basis point change in total margin as a percent of service and product revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

Service Margin (Excluding Depreciation).  Service margin for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Service		Margin as % of Service		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Margin		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*

*Represents the basis point change in service margin as a percent of service revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

25

The increase in service margins during the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2005, was due to the ability to leverage fixed cost payrolls through increased same-store service sales, which increased 1.1 percent from 0.9 percent in the prior fiscal year.  In addition, the service margins were favorably impacted by enhanced controls over inventory.  The improved margins were offset in part, by the additional compensation paid to employees impacted by the hurricanes in the three and six month period ended December 31, 2005.

The basis point decrease in service margins during the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004 was related to overstaffing due to lower than expected same-store sales during the latter half of December 2004, a shift in the mix of services provided to include a greater proportion of higher cost services, such as colorings, and our decision to compensate employees while salons were closed in the southeast United States during the first quarter due to the hurricanes.

Product Margin (Excluding Depreciation).  Product margin for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Product		Margin as % of Product		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Margin		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*
Three Months
2005	$	92,249	49.0	%	$	16,392	21.6	%	170
2004	75,857		47.3		5,317		7.5		(50	)
Six Months
2005	$	177,465	49.0	%	$	31,073	21.2	%	150
2004	146,392		47.5		10,505		7.7		20

*Represents the basis point change in product margin as a percent of product revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The improvement in product margins for the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2005, was due to the mix of product sales in the hair restoration centers, which have higher product margins than our salon business.  This improvement was softened by an increased level of retail promotional discounting, which may continue in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2006.

The decrease in product margins as a percent of product revenues during the second quarter ending December 31, 2004, was due to lower same-store product sales increases in the Trade Secret salons, which have fixed-cost payrolls, and changes in the mix of products carried and sold.

Site Operating Expenses

This expense category includes direct costs incurred by our salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers, such as on-site advertising, workers’ compensation, insurance, utilities and janitorial costs.  Site operating expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Site		Expense as % of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Operating		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*

2005	$	50,112	8.3	%	$	5,361	12.0	%	—

*Represents the basis point change in site operating expenses as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

As a percent of consolidated revenues, site operating expenses were relatively consistent with the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

26

General and Administrative

General and administrative (G&A) includes costs associated with our field supervision, salon training and promotions, product distribution centers and corporate offices (such as salaries and professional fees), including costs incurred to support franchise, beauty school and hair restoration center operations.  G&A expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended			Expense as % of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	G&A		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*
Three Months
2005	$	71,175	11.7	%	$	7,070	11.0	%	(20	)
2004	64,105		11.9		9,676		17.8		40
Six Months
2005	$	145,242	12.2	%	$	23,436	19.2	%	50
2004	121,806		11.7		13,933		12.9		10

*Represents the basis point change in G&A as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The decrease in G&A costs as a percent of total revenues during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 was due to a decrease in advertising expense offset by the addition of the hair restoration centers, which have slightly higher G&A costs due to the marketing-intensive nature of the business.  The increase in G&A costs as a percent of total revenues during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 was due to the increase in stock option expense, legal and accounting fees and international severance expense.

The increase in G&A costs as a percent of total revenues during the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005 was primarily due to the addition of the hair restoration centers, which have slightly higher G&A costs due to the marketing-intensive nature of that business.  Additionally, lower same-store sales increases in our salons contributed to the increase in these costs as a percent of revenues.  For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the effect of these items was partially offset by a $1.3 million expense during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2004 related to the write-off of loans associated with split dollar life insurance arrangements and $0.6 million of expense related to the write-off of the cash surrender value of the related policies.  The loans were written off due to final regulations issued by the IRS on the taxation of such split dollar arrangements.

Rent

Rent expense, which includes base and percentage rent, common area maintenance and real estate taxes, was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended			Expense as % of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Rent		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*
Three Months
2005	$	85,046	14.0	%	$	9,929	13.2	%	—

2005	$	167,881	14.1	%	$	20,256	13.7	%	—
2004	147,625		14.1		19,005		14.8		30

*Represents the basis point change in rent expense as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

As a percent of consolidated revenues, rent expenses for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 were relatively consistent with the corresponding periods of fiscal year 2005.  The increase in this fixed-cost expense as a percent of total revenues during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to rent expense increasing at a faster rate than salon same-store sales in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2005.

27

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense (D&A) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Expense as %
Periods Ended			of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	D&A		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*

2004	40,560		3.9		4,261		11.7		—

*Represents the basis point change in depreciation and amortization as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point increase during the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2005, was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets that we acquired in the acquisition of the hair restoration centers during December 2004.

Interest

Interest expense was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended			Expense as % of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Interest		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*

2004	9,775		0.9		1,556		18.9		—

*Represents the basis point change in interest expense as a percent of total revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The increase in interest expense as a percent of total revenues during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 was primarily due to an increase in our debt level stemming from our acquisition of the hair restoration centers in fiscal year 2005.

Income Taxes

Our reported effective tax rate was as follows:

Periods Ended	Effective		Basis Point
December 31,	Rate		Improvement (Decline)
Three Months
2005	35.2	%	(120	)
2004	34.0		230
Six Months
2005	34.9	%	(10	)
2004	34.8		160

The increase in the effective tax rate from the second quarter 2004 to 2005 was primarily due to the retroactive reenactment in October 2004 of the federal Work Opportunity Credits.  This resulted in the recording of tax credits earned during all of calendar 2004 in the Company’s tax rate for the December 31, 2004 reporting period and had the effect of lowering the Company’s effective tax rate for that reporting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effects of Inflation

We compensate some of our salon employees with percentage commissions based on sales they generate, thereby enabling salon payroll expense as a percent of company-owned salon revenues to remain relatively constant.  Accordingly, this provides us certain protection against inflationary increases, as payroll expense and related benefits (our major expense components) are variable costs of sales.  In addition, we may increase pricing in our salons to offset any significant increases in wages.  Therefore, we do not believe inflation has had a significant impact on the results of our operations.

Constant Currency Presentation

The presentation below demonstrates the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from year to year.  In the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006, foreign currency translation had a negative impact on consolidated revenues due to the weakening of the British pound and Euro partially offset by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar.  To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year.  Therefore, the foreign currency impact is equal to current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in the average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Results of Operations by Segment

Based on our internal management structure, we report four segments: North American salons, international salons, beauty schools and hair restoration centers.  Significant results of operations are discussed below with respect to each of these segments.

North American Salons

North American Salon Revenues.  Total North American salon revenues were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year				Same-Store
Periods Ended December 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Sales Increase
Three Months
2005	$	511,583	$	46,265	9.9	%	1.5	%
2004	465,318		44,380		10.5		0.2
Six Months
2005	$	1,005,126	$	91,380	10.0	%	1.3	%
2004	913,746		78,275		9.4		0.4

The percentage increases (decreases) during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, were due to the following factors:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues
	For the Periods Ended December 31, 2005
	Three Months		Six Months
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	4.9	%	5.2	%
Organic growth	5.2		5.0
Foreign currency	0.2		0.3
Franchise revenues	—		(0.1	)
Closed salons	(0.4	)	(0.4	)
	9.9	%	10.0	%

We acquired 362 North American salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, including 126 franchise buybacks.  The organic growth stemmed primarily from the construction of 523 company-owned salons in North America during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, as well as North American same-store sales increases.  The foreign currency impact during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 was driven by the weakening of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates.

North American Salon Operating Income.  Operating income for the North American salons for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Operating		Operating Income as		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Income		% of Total Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Basis Point*
Three Months
2005	$	70,499	13.8	%	$	7,687		12.2	%	30
2004	62,812		13.5		(1,665		)	(2.6	)	(180	)
Six Months
2005	$	132,758	13.2	%	$	8,812		7.1	%	(40	)
2004	123,946		13.6		(3,720		)	(2.9	)	(170	)

*Represents the basis point change in North American salon operating income as a percent of total North American salon revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The increase in North American salon operating income as a percentage of total revenues during three-months ended December 31, 2005, was due to improved salon payrolls and decreased advertising expense.  The decrease in North American salon operating income as a percentage of total revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2005, was due to the additional compensation paid to employees impacted by the hurricanes as well as an increase in depreciation and amortization expense.  The improvement during the three-months ended December 31, 2005 was offset by an increased level of retail promotional discounting, which may continue in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2006.

31

The decrease in North American salon operating income during the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004, was primarily related to lower same-store sales increases as compared to the prior fiscal year, overstaffing due to lower than expected same-store sales during the latter half of December 2004, changes in the mix of services provided and products carried and sold, and our decision to compensate employees while salons were closed in the southeast United States during the first quarter due to the hurricanes.

International Salons

International Salon Revenues.  Total international salon revenues were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year					Same-Store
Periods Ended December 31,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Sales Increase (Decrease)
Three Months
2005	$	53,086	$	(2,511	)	(4.5	)%	(2.6	)
2004	55,597		7,787			16.3		2.6
Six Months
2005	$	104,567	$	(2,768	)	(2.6	)%	(3.1	)
2004	107,335		16,383			18.0		4.1

The percentage increases (decreases) during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were due to the following factors.

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues
	For the Periods Ended December 31, 2005
	Three Months		Six Months
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	2.6	%	2.1	%
Organic growth	2.2		1.9
Foreign currency	(6.3	)	(3.8	)
Franchise revenues	(0.8	)	(0.4	)
Closed salons	(2.2	)	(2.4	)
	(4.5	)%	(2.6	)%

We acquired 15 international salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.  The organic growth stemmed from the construction of 20 company-owned international salons during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 offset by International same-store sales decreases.  The foreign currency impact during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 was driven by the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British pound and the Euro as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates.

International Salon Operating Income (Loss).  Operating income (loss) for the International salons for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Operating		Operating Income as		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Income		% of Total Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Basis Point*
Three Months
2005	$	3,618	6.8	%	$	(2,000	)	(35.6	)%	(330	)
2004	5,618		10.1		196			3.6		(120	)
Six Months
2005	$	6,861	6.6	%	$	(5,535	)	(44.7	)%	(490	)
2004	12,396		11.5		2,731			28.3		90

*Represents the basis point change in international salon operating income (loss) as a percent of total international salon revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The decrease in international salon operating income as a percentage of total revenues during the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2005, was due to reduced same-store sales as a continued result of a softening European economy.  In addition, operating income was negatively impacted by the decrease in franchise royalties and fees related to the fluctuation of the exchange rates of the Euro and British Pound as well as an increase in severance expenses.

32

The decrease in international salon operating income as a percentage of total revenues during the second quarter ended December 31, 2004, was primarily related to an adjustment to increase cost of sales by approximately $1.0 million stemming from our September 2004 physical inventory count, as well as increased supply costs.  For the six months ended December 31, 2004, this was offset by improved rent expense stemming from favorable rent negotiations, as well as lower depreciation expense as a percent of revenues due to the continuing maturation of the salon base in the United Kingdom.

Beauty Schools

Beauty School Revenues.  Total beauty schools revenues were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended December 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage
Three Months
2005	$	15,007	$	6,975	86.8	%
2004	8,032		4,328		116.8
Six Months
2005	$	28,229	$	14,141	100.4	%
2004	14,088		7,338		108.7

The percentage increases (decreases) during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were due to the following factors:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues
	For the Periods Ended December 31, 2005
	Three Months		Six Months
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	88.6	%	99.9	%
Organic growth	0.7		2.2
Foreign currency	(2.5	)	(1.7	)
	86.8	%	100.4	%

We acquired 20 beauty schools during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.  The foreign currency impact during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 was driven by the strengthening of the United States dollar against the British pound as compared to the prior periods’ exchange rates.

Beauty School Operating Income.  Operating income for our beauty schools for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Operating		Operating Income as		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
December 31,	Income		% of Total Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point*
Three Months
2005	$	3,497	23.3	%	$	1,089	45.2	%	(670	)
2004	2,408		30.0		1,012		72.5		(770	)
Six Months
2005	$	5,122	18.1	%	$	1,503	41.5	%	(760	)
2004	3,619		25.7		1,211		50.3		(1,000	)

*Represents the basis point change in beauty school operating income as a percent of total beauty school revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

We first began operating beauty schools during December 2002 (i.e., the second quarter of fiscal year 2003), in conjunction with the Vidal Sassoon acquisition.  We have since expanded by acquiring six beauty schools during fiscal year 2004, 13 during fiscal year 2005, and 11 during fiscal year 2006.  The year-over-year fluctuations in beauty school operating income stem primarily from our integration of the new beauty schools.

33

Hair Restoration Centers

As discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we acquired Hair Club for Men and Women in December 2004.  Our operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2005 include six months of operations from this acquired entity (referred to as hair restoration centers for segment reporting purposes). Refer to Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the results of operations related to the hair restoration centers which were included in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Note 6 for related pro forma information.

34

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet to support system growth and financial flexibility. Our debt to capitalization ratio, calculated as total debt as a percentage of total debt and shareholders’ equity at fiscal quarter end, was as follows:

	Debt to	Basis Point
Date	Capitalization	(Increase) Decrease*
December 31, 2005	41.6	140
June 30, 2005	43.0	(1,240	)

*      Change as compared to prior fiscal year end (June 30).

The improvement in the debt to capitalization ratio during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 was due to relatively unchanged debt levels and increased equity levels during the period.  The increase in the debt to capitalization ratio at June 30, 2005 over the prior fiscal year was driven by the $210 million acquisition of Hair Club for Men and Women with debt during December 2004, as well as over $100 million for the purchase of salons and beauty schools during fiscal year 2005.  Our principal on-going cash requirements are to finance construction of new stores, remodel certain existing stores, acquire salons and beauty schools, and purchase inventory.  Customers pay for salon services and merchandise in cash at the time of sale, which reduces our working capital requirements.

Total assets at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

	Total	$ Increase Over	% Increase Over
Date	Assets	Prior Period*	Prior Period*
December 31, 2005	1,840,032	114,056	6.6
June 30, 2005	1,725,976	454,117	35.7

*Change as compared to prior fiscal year end (June 30).

Acquisitions were the primary driver of the increase in total assets between June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005.

Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

	Shareholders’	$ Increase Over	% Increase Over
Date	Equity	Prior Period*	Prior Period*
December 31, 2005	813,344	58,632	7.8
June 30, 2005	754,712	72,692	10.7

*Change as compared to prior fiscal year end (June 30).

During the first six months of fiscal year 2006, equity increased primarily as a result of net income, additional paid-in capital primarily recorded in connection with the exercise of stock options and stock issued in connection with acquisitions.  This increase was softened by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to foreign currency translation adjustments as the result of the strengthening of the United States dollar against the currencies that underlie our investments in those markets.

35

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was $126.5 and $112.5 million, respectively.  The cash flows from operating activities were a result of the following:

	Operating Cash Flows For the Six Months Ended December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2005			2004
Net income	$	49,469		$	51,676
Depreciation and amortization	53,155			40,560
Deferred income taxes	82			4,125
Inventories	(16,022		)	(8,407		)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	36,505			22,296
Other	3,325			2,285
	$	126,514		$	112,535

During the first six months of fiscal year 2006, inventories increased due to growth in the number of salons, as well as lower than expected same-store product sales.  The increase in inventory resulted in an increase in accounts payable primarily due to the timing of payments related to inventory purchases.  The increase in depreciation and amortization was due to the amortization of intangible assets that we acquired in the acquisition of the hair restoration centers during December 2004.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $101.6 and $290.9 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005, respectively, was the result of the following:

	Investing Cash Flows For the Six Months Ended December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2005			2004
Salon and school acquisitions	$	(39,344	)	$	(35,091	)
Hair restoration center acquisition	(2,081		)	(209,652		)
Capital expenditures for new salon construction	(28,306		)	(22,459		)
Capital expenditures for remodels or other additions	(18,334		)	(15,612		)
Capital expenditures for the corporate office (including all technology-related expenditures)	(13,775		)	(8,638		)
Proceeds from the sale of assets	227			602
	$	(101,613	)	$	(290,850	)

We constructed 263 company-owned salons and acquired 67 company-owned salons (59 of which were franchise buybacks, including 5 hair restoration centers) during the first six months of fiscal year 2006.  Acquisitions were primarily funded by a combination of operating cash flows and debt.  The company-owned constructed and acquired salons (excluding franchise buybacks) consisted of the following number of salons in each concept:

	Six Months Ended
	December 31, 2005
	Constructed	Acquired
Regis Salons	20	1
MasterCuts	18	—
Trade Secret	22	1
SmartStyle	91	—
Strip Center	93	1
International	19	5
	263	8

Additionally, we completed 72 major remodeling projects during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 compared to 81 during the first six months of fiscal year 2005.

36

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.4 and $217.6 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005, respectively, resulting from the following:

	Financing Cash Flows
	For the Six Months Ended December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2005			2004
Net borrowings on revolving credit facilities	$	16,600		$	129,682
Proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt	—			100,000
Repayments of long-term debt	(14,145		)	(17,226		)
Proceeds from the issuance of common stock	7,108			6,425
Repurchase of common stock	—			(442		)
Tax benefit from employee stock plans	2,419			—
Dividend paid	(3,616		)	(3,555		)
Other	1,011			2,672
	$	9,377		$	217,556

The net borrowings on revolving credit facilities and net repayments of long-term debt were primarily used to fund acquisitions, which are discussed in the paragraph below and in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  The proceeds from the issuance of common stock were related to the exercise of stock options.

Acquisitions

The acquisitions during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 consisted of 59 franchise buybacks, eight other acquired corporate and franchise salons, and 11 acquired beauty schools.  The acquisitions during the first six months of fiscal year 2005 consisted of 67 franchise buybacks, 67 other acquired corporate and franchise salons, four acquired beauty schools and 91 hair restoration centers.  The acquisitions were funded primarily from operating cash flow and debt.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We acquired Hair Club for Men and Women in December 2004 for approximately $210 million.  The acquisition was financed with approximately $110 million of debt under our existing revolving credit facility and $100 million of senior term notes issued under an existing agreement, with interest rates ranging from 4.0 to 4.9 percent and maturation dates between November 2008 and November 2011.

In a limited number of acquisitions, the Company has guaranteed that its common stock issued in conjunction with the acquisition will reach a certain market price.  If the stock should not reach this price during an agreed-upon time frame (typically three years from the date of acquisition), the Company is obligated to issue additional shares to the sellers.  Once the agreed-upon stock price is met or exceeded for a period of five consecutive days, the contingency is met and the Company is no longer liable.  Based on the December 31, 2005 market price, the Company would be required to provide an additional 132,461 shares with an aggregate market value on that date of $5.1 million related to these acquisition contingencies if the agreed-upon time frames were all assumed to have expired December 31, 2005.

Subsequent to the end of our third quarter in the prior fiscal year, we amended and restated our existing revolving credit facility, thereby increasing our borrowing capacity under this facility by $100 million (to $350 million).  Additionally, we incurred $200 million of new private placement debt.  See Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2005, for further discussion.  There have been no other significant changes in our commercial commitments such as commitments under lines of credit or standby letters of credit since June 30, 2005.  We are in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of our credit agreements and indentures. Additionally, the credit agreements do not include rating triggers or subjective clauses that would accelerate maturity dates.

As a part of our salon development program, we continue to negotiate and enter into leases and commitments for the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements related to future salon locations, and continue to enter into transactions to acquire established hair care salons and businesses.

Prior to December 31, 2002, we became guarantor on a limited number of equipment lease agreements between our franchisees and leasing companies.  If the franchisee should fail to make payments in accordance with the lease, we

37

will be held liable under such agreements and retain the right to possess the related salon operations.  We believe the fair value of the salon operations exceeds the maximum potential amount of future lease payments for which we could be held liable.  The existing guaranteed lease obligations, which have an aggregate undiscounted value of $1.6 million at December 31, 2005, terminate at various dates between June 2006 and April 2009.  We have not experienced, and do not expect, any material loss to result from these arrangements.

Financing

Financing activities are discussed above and derivative activities are discussed in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”  There were no other significant financing activities during the first six months of fiscal year 2006.

We believe that cash generated from operations and amounts available under our existing debt facilities will be sufficient to fund anticipated capital expenditures, acquisitions and required debt repayments for the foreseeable future.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $0.08 per share during the first six months of fiscal year 2006.  On January 30, 2006, our Board of Directors declared a $0.04 per share quarterly dividend payable February 27, 2006 to shareholders of record on February 13, 2006.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD) approved a stock repurchase program.  Originally, the program allowed up to $50.0 million to be expended for the Repurchase of the Company’s Stock.  The BOD elected to increase this maximum to $100.0 million in August 2003, and then to $200.0 million on May 3, 2005.  The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions. The repurchases to date have been made primarily to eliminate the dilutive effect of shares issued in conjunction with acquisitions and stock option exercises.  As of December 31, 2005, a total accumulated 2.4 million shares have been repurchased for $76.5 million, respectively.  All repurchased shares are immediately retired.  This repurchase program has no stated expiration date and at December 31, 2005, $123.5 million remain to be repurchased under this program.

Risk Factors

Impact of Acquisition and Real Estate Availablity

The key driver of our revenue and earnings growth is the number of locations we acquire or construct. While we believe that substantial future acquisition and organic growth opportunities exist, any material decrease in the number of such opportunities would have an impact on our revenue and earnings growth.

Impact of the Economic Environment

Changes to the United States, Canadian, United Kingdom and other European economies have an impact on our business. Visitation patterns to our salons and hair restoration centers can be adversely impacted by changes in unemployment rates and discretionary income levels.

Impact of Key Relationships

We maintain key relationships with certain companies. Termination of these relationships could have an adverse impact on our ability to grow or future operating results.

Impact of Fashion

Changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends can have an impact on our financial performance.

Impact of Changes in Regulatory and Statutory Laws

With more than 11,000 locations and an average of 55,000 corporate employees world-wide, our financial results can be adversely impacted by regulatory or statutory changes in laws.

Impact of Competition

Competition on a market by market basis remains strong. Therefore, our ability to raise prices in certain markets can be adversely impacted by this competition.

38

Impact of Changes in Manufacturers’ Choice of Distribution Channels

The retail products that we sell are licensed to be carried exclusively by professional salons.  Should the various product manufacturers decide to utilize other distribution channels, such as large discount retailers, it could negatively impact the revenue earned from product sales.

Impact of Changes to Interest Rates and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Changes in interest rates will have an impact on our expected results from operations. Currently, we manage the risk related to fluctuations in interest rates through the use of floating rate debt instruments and other financial instruments.  See discussion in Item 3., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” for additional information.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an impact on our reported results from operations.  The majority of the revenue and costs associated with the performance of our foreign operations are denominated in local currencies such as the Canadian dollar, Euro and British pound.  Therefore, we do not have significant foreign currency transaction risk; however, the translation at different exchange rates from period to period may impact the amount of reported income from our international operations.  Refer the constant currency discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” for further detail.

Impact of Seasonality

Our business is not subject to substantial seasonal variations in demand.  However, the timing of Easter may cause a quarterly variation in the third and fourth quarters.  Historically, our revenue and net earnings have generally been realized evenly throughout the fiscal year.  The service and retail product revenues associated with our corporate salons, as well as our franchise revenues, are of a replenishment nature.  We estimate that customer visitation patterns are generally consistent throughout the year.

Product diversion could have a material adverse impact on our product revenues.

The retail products that we sell are meant to be sold exclusively by professional salons.  However, incidents of product diversion occur.  Diversion involves the selling of salon-exclusive hair care products to discount retailers, and the diverted product is often old, tainted or damaged.  Diversion could result in adverse publicity that harms the commercial prospects of our products, as well as lower product revenues should consumers choose to purchase diverted product from discount retailers rather than purchasing from one of our salons.

The results of operations from our hair restoration centers may be adversely affected if we are unable to anticipate and adapt to rapidly changing technology.

The hair loss industry, including surgical procedures, is characterized by rapidly changing technology. The introduction of new technologies and products could render our current product and service selection obsolete or unmarketable. We must continually anticipate the emergence of, and adapt our products and services to, new technologies.

Failure to comply with extensive regulations could have a material adverse effect on our beauty school business and failure of our beauty school campuses to comply with extensive regulations could result in financial penalties, loss or suspension of federal funding.

A number of our beauty schools’ students pay tuition and other fees with funds received through student assistance financial aid programs under Title IV of the HEA.  To participate in such programs, an institution must obtain and maintain authorization by the appropriate state agencies, accreditation by an accrediting agency recognized by the ED, and certification by the ED.  As a result, our beauty schools are subject to extensive regulation by these agencies.  These regulatory agencies periodically revise their requirements and modify their interpretations of existing requirements.  If one of our beauty schools were to violate any of these regulatory requirements, the regulatory agencies could place limitations on or terminate our beauty schools’ receipt of federal student financial aid funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our beauty school business, results of operations or financial condition.

39

Impact of Merger

On January 10, 2006, Regis Corporation announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby Alberto-Culver Company will spin off Sally Holdings, Inc., the subsidiary that holds its Sally Beauty business unit, to Alberto-Culver’s stockholders, following which a subsidiary of Regis Corporation will merge with and into Sally Holdings and the surviving corporation of that merger will merge into another wholly-owned subsidiary of Regis.  The risk factors associated with the transaction include the following:

•Regis may not realize the anticipated benefits from the merger, since the success of the merger will depend, in part, on the ability of Regis to realize the anticipated synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities from integrating the business of Sally Holdings with those of Regis.  Even if Regis is able to integrate the business operations of Sally Holdings successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of the synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities that Regis and Sally Holdings currently expect from this integration;

•The integration of Sally Holdings with Regis following the merger may present significant challenges, and there is a significant degree of difficulty and management distraction inherent in the process of integrating the Sally Holdings and Regis businesses.  The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of New Regis’ businesses;

•Regis’ range of products, customers, and competitors will be significantly expanded following the merger compared to those it currently has.  The integration process will require Regis to significantly expand the scope of its operational and financial systems, which will increase its operating complexity and may be costly and time-consuming;

•The market price of Regis common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of Regis common stock in the market after the completion of the merger or the perception that these sales could occur;

•If the spin-off does not constitute a tax-free distribution under section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code or the merger does not constitute a reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, either as a result of actions taken in connection with the spin-off or the merger or as a result of subsequent acquisitions of stock of Alberto-Culver, Regis or Sally Holdings, then Alberto-Culver and/or the Alberto-Culver stockholders may be responsible for payment of U.S. federal income taxes;

•The tax allocation agreement entered into by Alberto-Culver and Sally Holdings generally provides that Alberto-Culver and Sally Holdings (and therefore Regis after the completion of the merger) will share specified tax liabilities as set out in that agreement;

•Regis will be affected by significant restrictions on its ability to issue equity securities for two years after the spin-off and merger;

•If the merger is not completed for any reason, the price of Regis common stock may decline to the extent that the market price of the Regis common stock reflects positive market assumptions that the spin-off and the merger will be completed and the related benefits will be realized;

•If the merger agreement is terminated in specified circumstances Regis may be required to pay Alberto-Culver a termination fee of up to $50 million;

•Regis will incur substantial costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting, filing, financial advisory and financial printing fees, which must be paid regardless of whether the merger is completed; and

•Potential disruption to the business of Regis and distraction of its workforce and management team.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The primary market risk exposure of the Company relates to changes in interest rates in connection with its debt, some of which bears interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin.  Additionally, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation risk related to its net investments in its foreign subsidiaries.  The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the management of these exposures.  By policy, the Company does not enter into such contracts for the purpose of speculation.

The Company has established an interest rate management policy that attempts to minimize its overall cost of debt, while taking into consideration the earnings implications associated with the volatility of short-term interest rates.  As part of this policy, the Company has elected to maintain a combination of floating and fixed rate debt.  As of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the Company had the following outstanding debt balances, considering the effect of interest rate swaps and including $1.8 and $2.5 million related to the fair value swaps at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively:

	December 31,		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2005		2005
Fixed rate debt	$	467,025	$	413,526
Floating rate debt	111,850		155,250
	$	578,875	$	568,776

The Company manages its interest rate risk by continually assessing the amount of fixed and floating rate debt.  On occasion, the Company uses interest rate swaps to further mitigate the risk associated with changing interest rates and to maintain its desired balances of fixed and floating rate debt.

On October 21, 2005, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts that pay fixed rates of interest and receive variable rates of interest (based on the three-month LIBOR rate) on notional amounts of indebtedness of $35.0 and $15.0 million at December 31, 2005, with maturation dates of March 2013 and March 2015.  These swaps were designated and are effective as cash flow hedges.

For additional information, including a tabular presentation of the Company’s debt obligations and derivative financial instruments, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the Company’s June 30, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Other than the information included above, there have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk and hedging activities during the six months ended December 31, 2005.

42

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

With the participation of management, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at the conclusion of the period ended December 31, 2005.  Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls or, to the knowledge of management of the Company, in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the Company’s most recent evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures utilized to compile information included in this filing.

43

Part II – Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business.  Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide wage and hour violations.  The Company is currently a defendant in a collective action lawsuit in which the plaintiffs allege violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  The Company denies these allegations and will actively defend its position.  However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined.  Although company counsel believes that the Company has valid defenses in these matters, it could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

(e)  Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which up to $200.0 million can be expended for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock.  The timing and amounts of any repurchases will depend on many factors, including the market price of the common stock and overall market conditions.  All repurchased shares are immediately retired.  This repurchase program has no stated expiration date.

The following table shows the monthly second quarter fiscal year 2006 stock repurchase activity:

			Total Number of	Approximate Dollar
			Shares Purchased	Value of Shares that
			As Part of Publicly	May Yet Be Purchased

Section 3.  Other Offices.  The corporation may have other offices at such places within and without the State of Minnesota as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time.

ARTICLE II

Meetings of Shareholders

Section 1.  Place of Meeting.  All meetings of the shareholders of this corporation shall be held at its principal executive office unless some other place for any such meeting within or without the State of Minnesota is designated by the Board of Directors in the notice of meeting. Any regular or special meeting of the shareholders of the corporation called by or held pursuant to a written demand of shareholders shall be held in the county where the principal executive office of the corporation is located.

Section 2.  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the shareholders of this corporation may be held at the discretion of the Board of Directors on an annual basis on such dates and at such times and places as may be designated by the Board of Directors in the notices of meeting. At regular meetings the shareholders shall elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may be appropriate for action by shareholders.

Section 3.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes appropriate for action by shareholders, may be called by the chief executive officer, by the

acting chief executive officer in the absence of the chief executive officer, by the chief financial officer, or by the Board of Directors or any four or more members thereof. Such meeting shall be held on such date and at such time and place as shall be fixed by the person or persons calling the meeting and designated in the notice of meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

Section 4.  Notice of Meetings.  Except where a meeting of shareholders is an adjourned meeting and the date, time, and place of such meeting were announced at the time of adjournment, notice of all meetings of shareholders stating the date, time, and place thereof, and any other information required by law or desired by the Board of Directors or by such other person or persons calling the meeting, and in the case of special meetings, the purpose thereof, shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of such meeting.

Notices of meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled thereto by oral communication, by mailing a copy thereof to such shareholder at an address designated by such shareholder or to the last known address of such shareholder, by handing a copy thereof to such shareholder, or by any other delivery that conforms to law. Notice by mail shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail with sufficient postage affixed. Notice shall be deemed received when it is given.

Section 5.  Record Date.  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation may, but need not, fix a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, which record date, however, shall in no event be more than sixty (60) days prior to any such intended action or meeting.

Section 6.  Quorum.  The holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of the corporation entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for

2

the purpose of taking any action other than adjourning such meeting. If the holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares are not represented at a meeting, the shareholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the sole purpose of adjourning such meeting, and the holders of a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting to such date, time, and place as they shall announce at the time of adjournment. Any business that might have been transacted at the adjourned meeting had a quorum been present, may be transacted at the meeting held pursuant to such an adjournment and at which a quorum shall be represented. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the shareholders present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of shareholders originally represented leaves less than the number otherwise required for a quorum.

Section 7.  Voting and Proxies.  At each meeting of the shareholders every shareholder shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of capital stock held by such shareholder, except as may be otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or the terms of the share, but no appointment of a proxy shall be valid for any purpose more than two (2) months after the date of its execution, unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment. Every appointment of a proxy shall be in writing (which shall include telegraphing, cabling, or facsimile transmission), and shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation before or at the meeting at which the appointment is to be effective. An appointment of a proxy for shares held jointly by two or more shareholders shall be valid if signed by any one of them, unless the Secretary of the corporation receives from any one of such shareholders written notice either denying the authority of another of such shareholders to appoint a proxy or appointing a different proxy. All questions regarding the qualification of voters, the validity of appointments of proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the presiding officer of the meeting. The shareholders shall take action by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote, except where a different vote is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.

ARTICLE III

Directors

Section 1.  General Powers.  The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. The directors may exercise all such powers and do all such things as may be exercised or done by the corporation, subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation, and these Bylaws.

Section 2.  Number, Tenure, and Qualification.  The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Except as provided in Sections 6 and 7 of this Article, each director shall be elected at a regular meeting of shareholders and shall hold office until the next regular meeting of shareholders and thereafter until a successor is duly elected and qualified, unless a prior vacancy shall occur by reason of death, resignation, or removal from office.  Directors shall be natural persons, but need not be shareholders.

Section 3.  Meetings.  Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times and places as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors. Meetings of the Board of Directors also may be called by the chief executive officer or by the acting chief executive officer in the absence of the chief executive officer, or by any director, in which case the person or persons calling such meeting may fix the date, time, and place thereof, either within or without the State of Minnesota, and shall cause notice of meeting to be given.

Section 4.  Notice of Meetings.  If the date, time, and place of a meeting of the Board of Directors has been announced at a previous meeting, no notice is required. In all other cases, three (3) days’ notice of meetings of the Board of Directors, stating the date and time thereof and any other information required by law or desired by the person or persons calling such meeting, shall be given to each director. If notice of meeting is required, and such notice does not state the place of the meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Notice of meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to

4

directors in the manner provided in these Bylaws for giving notice to shareholders of meetings of shareholders.

Any director may waive notice of any meeting. A waiver of notice by a director is effective whether given before, at, or after the meeting, and whether given orally, in writing, or by attendance. The attendance of a director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, unless such director objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business on grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate thereafter in the meeting.

Section 5.  Quorum and Voting.  A majority of the directors currently holding office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the directors present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of directors originally present leaves less than the number otherwise required for a quorum.

The Board of Directors shall take action by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any duly held meeting, except as to any question upon which any different vote is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws. A director may give advance written consent or objection to a proposal to be acted upon at a meeting of the Board of Directors. If the proposal acted on at the meeting is substantially the same or has substantially the same effect as the proposal to which the director has consented or objected, such consent or objection shall be counted as a vote for or against the proposal and shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. Such consent or objection shall not be considered in determining the existence of a quorum.

Section 6.  Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships.  Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors remaining in office, even though said remaining directors be less than a quorum. Any newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors by action of the Board of Directors

5

may be filled by a majority vote of the directors serving at the time of such increase. Unless a prior vacancy occurs by reason of death, resignation, or removal from office, any director so elected shall hold office until the next regular meeting of shareholders and until a successor is duly elected and qualified.

Section 7.  Removal of Directors.  The entire Board of Directors or any director or directors may be removed from office, with or without cause, at any special meeting of the shareholders duly called for that purpose as provided in these Bylaws, by a vote of the shareholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. At such meeting, without further notice, the shareholders may fill any vacancy or vacancies created by such removal as provided in Section 6 of this Article. Any such vacancy not so filled may be filled by the directors as provided in Section 6 of this Article. Any director named by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by an affirmative vote of a majority of all remaining directors (including remaining directors that were elected by the shareholders and remaining directors elected by the directors without shareholder action pursuant to Section 6 of this Article), even though said remaining directors be less than a quorum, if the shareholders have not elected directors in the interval between the appointment to fill the vacancy and the time of removal.

Section 8.  Committees.  The Board of Directors, by a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then holding office, may establish one or more committees of one or more persons having the authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business of the corporation to the extent provided in such resolution. Such committees, however, shall at all times be subject to the direction and control of the Board of Directors. Committee members shall be appointed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present. A majority of the members of any committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of any such committee. In other matters of procedure the provisions of these Bylaws shall apply to committees and the members thereof to the same extent they apply to the Board of Directors and directors, including, without limitation, the provisions with respect to meetings and notice thereof, absent members, written actions, and valid acts. Each

6

committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors.

Section 9.  Action in Writing.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a lawfully constituted committee thereof may be taken by written action signed by all of the directors then in office or by all of the members of such committee, as the case may be. If the action does not require shareholder approval, such action shall be effective if signed by the number of directors or members of such committee that would be required to take the same action at a meeting at which all directors or committee members were present. If any written action is taken by less than all directors, all directors shall be notified immediately of its text and effective date. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not invalidate such written action.

Section 10.  Meeting by Means of Electronic Communication.  Members of the Board of Directors of the corporation, or any committee designated by such Board, may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting can simultaneously hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

ARTICLE IV

Officers

Section 1.  Number and Qualification.  The officers of the corporation shall consist of one or more natural persons elected by the Board of Directors exercising the functions of the offices, however designated, of chief executive officer and chief financial officer.  The Board of Directors may also appoint such other officers and assistant officers as it may deem necessary.  Except as provided in these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall fix the powers, duties, and compensation of all officers.  Officers may be, but need not be, directors of the corporation.  Any number of offices may be held by the same person.

Section 5.  Chief Financial Officer.  Unless provided otherwise by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, the chief financial officer shall keep accurate financial records for the corporation, shall deposit all monies, drafts, and checks in the name of and to the credit of the corporation in such banks and depositories as the Board of Directors shall designate from time to time, shall endorse for deposit all notes, checks, and drafts received by the corporation as ordered by the Board of Directors, making proper vouchers therefor, shall disburse corporate funds and issue checks and drafts in the name of the corporation as ordered by the Board of Directors, shall render to the chief executive officer and the Board of Directors, whenever requested, an account of all such officer’s transactions as chief financial officer and of the financial condition of the corporation, and shall perform

If an officer other than the President is designated chief executive officer, the President shall have such powers and perform such duties as the Board of Directors or the chief executive officer may prescribe from time to time.

Section 8.  Vice Presidents.  The Vice Presidents shall have such powers and perform such duties as the chief executive officer or the Board of Directors may prescribe from time to time. In the absence of the President or in the event of the President’s death, inability, or refusal to act, the Vice Presidents in the order designated by the Board of Directors, or, in the absence of any designation, in the order of their election, shall perform the duties of the President, and, when so acting, shall have all the powers of and be subject to all of the restrictions upon the President.

Section 9.  Secretary.  The Secretary shall attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and of the shareholders and shall maintain records of, and whenever necessary, certify all proceedings of the Board of Directors and of the shareholders.

Section 1.  Certificates.  All shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates. Each certificate shall contain on its face (a) the name of the corporation, (b) a statement that the corporation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota, (c) the name of the person to whom it is issued, and (d) the number and class of shares, and the designation of the series, if any, that the certificate represents. Certificates shall also contain any other information required by law or desired by the Board of Directors, and shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. If a certificate is signed (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent or (2) by a transfer clerk acting on behalf of the corporation and a registrar, the signature of any officer of the corporation may be a facsimile. If a person signs or has a facsimile signature placed upon a certificate while an officer, transfer agent, or registrar of a corporation, the certificate may be issued by the corporation, even if the person has ceased to have that capacity before the certificate is issued, with the same effect as if the person had that capacity at the date of its issue. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued with the number of shares and date of issue shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the corporation. All certificates surrendered to the corporation or the transfer agent for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except that in case of a lost, destroyed, or mutilated certificate, a new one may be issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the corporation as the Board of Directors may prescribe.

Section 2.  Transfer of Shares.  Transfer of shares of the corporation shall be made only on the stock transfer books of the

10

corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s legal representative, who shall furnish proper evidence of authority to transfer, or by such holder’s attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation, and on surrender of such shares to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation.

Section 3.  Ownership.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the person in whose name shares stand on the books of the corporation shall be deemed by the corporation to be the owner thereof for all purposes. The Board of Directors, however, by a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, may establish a procedure whereby a shareholder may certify in writing to the corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of such shareholder are held for the account of one or more beneficial owners. Upon receipt by the corporation of the writing, the persons specified as beneficial owners, rather than the actual shareholder, shall be deemed the shareholders for such purposes as are permitted by the resolution of the Board of Directors and are specified in the writing.

ARTICLE VI

Contracts, Loans, Checks, and Deposits

Section 1.  Contracts.  The Board of Directors may authorize such officers or agents as they shall designate to enter into contracts or execute and deliver instruments in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

Section 2.  Loans.  The corporation shall not lend money to, guarantee the obligation of, become a surety for, or otherwise financially assist any person unless the transaction, or class of transactions to which the transaction belongs,(a) is in the usual and regular course of business of the corporation, (b) is with, or for the benefit of, a related corporation, an organization in which the corporation has a financial interest, an organization with which the corporation has a business relationship, or (c) is with, or for the benefit of, an officer or other employee of the corporation or a subsidiary, including an officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or a subsidiary, and may

11

reasonably be expected, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, to benefit the corporation.

Section 3.  Checks, Drafts, etc.  All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by the chief financial officer or such other officers or agents of the corporation as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Section 4.  Deposits.  All funds of the corporation not otherwise employed shall be deposited from time to time to the credit of the corporation in such banks or other financial in stitutions as the chief financial officer may select.

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous

Section 1.  Dividends.  The Board of Directors from time to time may declare, and the corporation may pay, dividends on its outstanding shares in the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by law.

Section 2.  Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the corporation shall be such twelve-month period as is set by a resolution of the Board of Directors.

Section 3.  Amendments.  Except as limited by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws may be altered or amended by the Board of Directors.  Such authority of the Board of Directors is subject to the power of the shareholders of this corporation to alter or repeal such Bylaws, and the Board of Directors, after adoption of the initial Bylaws, shall not make, alter, or repeal any Bylaw fixing quorum for shareholder meetings, prescribing procedures for removing directors or filling vacancies on the Board of Directors, fixing the number of directors or their classifications, qualifications or terms of office.  The Board of Directors may, however,  adopt or amend a bylaw to increase the number of directors.
