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 March 31, 2006 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2006 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 nine month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 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 May 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.

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 operating income. Fully depreciated/amortized assets remain in the accounts until retired from service.

7

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 (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  The Company considers its various concepts to be reporting units when it tests for goodwill impairment because that is where the Company believes goodwill resides. Consistent with prior years, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, goodwill was tested for impairment in this manner. The net book value of our European business approximated its fair value and the estimated fair value of the remaining 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. These stock-based awards expire within ten years from the grant date. The company recognizes compensation expense for these awards on a straight-line basis over the five-year vesting period (includes retirement eligible recipients as there is no accelerated vesting terms for these recipients). Common shares available for grant as of March 31were 2,486,800 for 2006, 2,484,800 for 2005 and 2,769,850 for 2004.

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.

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 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 SFAS 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 No. 25 for fiscal year 2005.

8

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 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. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R for the Company’s third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was an increase in compensation expense of $0.5 and $2.3 million ($0.3 and $1.5 million after tax) and a reduction of $0.01 and $0.03 for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2006, respectively. Compensation expense recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 includes approximately $0.5 and $1.6 million related to awards issued subsequent to July 1, 2003 and $0.5 and $2.3 million related to unvested awards previously being accounted for on the intrinsic value method of accounting.

Total compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaled $1.0 and $0.3 million ($0.6 and $0.2 after tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Total compensation cost for stock-based payment arrangements totaled $3.9 and $0.8 million ($2.5 and $0.4 after tax) for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company expects the total expense for stock-based awards during fiscal year 2006 to be approximately $4.9 million. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R is expected to incrementally increase before tax compensation expense compared to that computed using SFAS No. 123 by approximately $2.7 million during fiscal 2006. SFAS No. 123R also requires that the cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of increases in the value of stock-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, and the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the tax benefit realized upon exercise of stock options was presented as an operating activity and totaled $8.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2005.

The Company’s pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005, 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, was as follows:

	For the Periods Ended March 31, 2005,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)	Three Months			Nine Months
Net (loss) income, as reported	$	(16,550	)	$	35,126
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects	229			443
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based methods for all awards, net of related tax effects	(1,359		)	(4,517		)
Pro forma net (loss) income	$	(17,680	)	$	31,052
(Loss) Earnings per share:
Basic – as reported	$	(0.37	)	$	0.79

Diluted – as reported	$	(0.37	)	$	0.76
Diluted – pro forma	$	(0.40	)	$	0.67

A summary of option and equity-based SARS activity under the Plan as of March 31, 2006, and changes during the nine month period then ended is presented below:

Options	Shares (in thousands)		Weighted- Average Exercise Price ($)		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Instrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at July 1, 2005	3,869		$	20.45	5.7	$	73,071
Granted	—		—		—	—
Exercised	(610	)	17.33		4.8	14,063
Cancelled	(2	)	23.04		4.9	327
Outstanding at March 31, 2006	3,257		21.03		5.0	45,812
Exercisable at March 31, 2006	2,542		$	17.50	4.2	$	43,531

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, was $14.1 and $22.4 million, respectively.

The lattice (binomial) option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of options at grant date beginning July 1, 2005. The company’s primary employee stock-based compensation grant occurs during the fourth quarter. Prior to adoption of SFAS No.123R, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used.

The significant assumptions used in determining the underlying fair value on the date of grant of each option and SARS grant issued during the fiscal year ending June 30, is presented below:

	2005		2004		2003
Risk-free interest rate	3.97	%	4.16	%	2.89	%
Expected life in years	5.50		5.50		7.25
Expected volatility	30.00	%	30.00	%	42.00	%
Expected dividend yield	0.45	%	0.37	%	0.45	%

9

The risk-free rate of return is determined based on the U.S. Treasury rates approximating the expected life of the options and SARS granted. Expected volatility is established based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected dividend yield is determined based on the Company’s annual dividend amount as a percentage of the strike price at the time of the grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates.

The expense associated with the restricted stock grant is based on the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year vesting period. Stock awards are not performance based and vest with continued employment. Stock awards are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. The company granted 85,250 shares in fiscal 2005 and 77,500 shares in fiscal 2004 under is restricted stock award program. As of March 31, 2006, 139,400 unvested restricted stock shares with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $38.40 were outstanding, of which 141,650 were outstanding at June 30, 2005.

As of March 31, 2006, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements was $10.1 million and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately three years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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 EITF 05-6 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2005, the 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 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued FSP 123R-4, “Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event.”  FSP 123R-4 revises SFAS 123R’s requirement that share options with contingent cash settlement features be classified as liabilities regardless of the event’s likelihood of occurrence. Consistent with previous practice in applying APB No. 25 and SFAS 123, companies will classify these instruments as equity if the contingent event is not probable of occurrence, and will not have to re-measure the instruments to fair value each reporting date as is required for liability classified awards. FSP 123R-4 becomes effective upon initial adoption of SFAS 123R. Regis’ stock-based compensation awards do not contain contingent cash settlement features; therefore, the adoption of FSP 123R-4 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.SEGMENT INFORMATION:

The Company operates or franchises 9,140 North American salons (located in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico), 2,006 international salons, 53 beauty schools and 90 hair restoration centers. The Company operates its North American salon operations through five primary concepts: Regis Salons, MasterCuts, Trade Secret, SmartStyle and Strip Center salons. Each of the concepts offer similar products and services, concentrates on the mass-market consumer marketplace and has consistent distribution channels. All of the company-owned and franchise salons within the North American salon concepts are located in high traffic, retail shopping locations that attract mass-market consumers, and the individual salons generally display similar economic characteristics. The salons share interdependencies and a common support base. The Company’s international salon operations, which are primarily in Europe, are located in malls, leading department stores, mass merchants and high-street locations. The Company’s beauty schools are located in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company’s hair restoration centers are located in the United States and Canada.

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 operating segments. 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 operating 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:
Brand assets and 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 $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $8.3 and $4.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, future estimated amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets is estimated to be:

(Dollars in thousands)
Fiscal Year
2006	$	11,131
2007	11,272
2008	11,242
2009	11,140
2010	10,934

6.ACQUISITIONS:

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, 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. With the exception of Hair Club for Men and Women (Hair Club), the 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the allocation of the purchase prices, were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2006			2005
Components of aggregate purchase prices:
Cash	$	93,760		$	303,551
Stock	—			5,000
Liabilities assumed	1,044			1,264
	$	94,804		$	309,815
Allocation of the purchase price:
Current assets	$	12,368		$	10,338
Property and equipment	10,796			22,461
Other noncurrent assets	1			9,287
Goodwill	74,794			204,738
Identifiable intangible assets	15,344			131,013
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	(16,314		)	(19,135		)
Deferred income tax liability	(2,185		)	(48,887		)
	$	94,804		$	309,815

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 March 31, 2006 market price, the Company would be required to provide an additional 175,518 shares with an aggregate market value on that date of $6.1 million related to these acquisition contingencies if the agreed upon time frames were all assumed to have expired March 31, 2006.

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 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

15

the stylist(s). Under SFAS 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 and certain beauty school 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 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 array 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. This industry is highly fragmented, and we believe there is an opportunity to consolidate this industry through acquisition.

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 nine month period ended March 31, 2005, 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 Nine Months Ended, March 31, 2005

(Dollars in thousands)	Actual		ProForma (1)
Revenue	$	1,600,818	$	1,649,814
Net Income	$	35,126	$	35,033
EPS	$	0.76	$	0.76

(1) 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 $0.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005.

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 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 April 5, 2006, the Company announced that it had terminated the Merger Agreement, dated January 10, 2006, whereby a subsidiary of Regis Corporation was to merge with the Sally Beauty Company business unit of Alberto-Culver Company. The Merger Agreement was terminated following Alberto-Culver’s announcement that the Alberto-Culver Board of Directors had withdrawn its recommendation to the stockholders of Alberto-Culver that they approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Alberto-Culver paid Regis Corporation a termination fee of $50.0 million in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement. This termination fee was received by Regis on April 10, 2006. As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company recognized $5.7 million in acquisition related expenses in third quarter ended March 31, 2006. The termination fee and additional acquisition related expenses are anticipated to result in a net pre-tax gain of approximately $39.0 million in the fourth quarter and $33.3 million for fiscal 2006.

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 March 31, 2006 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and of cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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 an explanatory paragraph 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. The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not presented herein. 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 March 31, 2006, our worldwide operations included 11,146 system-wide North American and international salons, 90 hair restoration centers and 53 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 9,140 salons, including 2,180 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 2,006 salons, including 1,559 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 42 franchise locations. Our beauty schools are managed in aggregate, regardless of geographical location, and include 49 locations in the United States and four locations in the United Kingdom. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, we had approximately 56,000 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. In fiscal 2007, although we have tempered our outlook for constructed salons to between 300 to 350 units, we still expect to add between 500 and 700 net locations through a combination of organic, acquisition and franchise growth. Our long-term outlook anticipates that we will add approximately 1,000 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 (i.e., 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 382 acquisitions, adding a net of 7,212 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 March 31, 2006.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at the time of a triggering event in accordance with the provisions of Statement of SFAS No. 142. We consider our various concepts to be reporting units when testing for goodwill impairment because that is where we believe goodwill resides. Fair values are estimated based on our best estimate of the expected present value of future cash flows and compared with the corresponding carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. Consistent with prior years, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, goodwill was tested for impairment in this manner. The net book value of our European business approximated its fair value and the estimated fair value of the remaining reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts, indicating no impairment of goodwill. During fiscal year 2005, we 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 our European business based on revised growth trends and reduced expectations for the European business.

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

•Third quarter earnings per share increased to $0.40 per diluted share up from a loss of $0.37 per diluted share in third quarter fiscal 2005. Third quarter earnings included $3.6 million after tax or $0.08 per diluted share in terminated acquisition related expenses previously incurred. Third quarter fiscal 2005 earnings included a $38.3 million non-cash or $0.86 per diluted share, goodwill impairment charge related to our European business. Revenues increased 8.4 percent to $604 million and consolidated same-store sales were a negative 0.4 percent for the third quarter.

•The decrease in product margins for the third quarter was primarily associated with price discounting associated with repackaging efforts by suppliers of several top lines as well as increases in promotional sales activity and an unfavorable shift in the product mix due to the increased sales of hair care appliances which are lower margin products.

•During the quarter, we acquired 92 salons (including 83 franchise salon buybacks). We built 146 corporate salons and closed or relocated 46 salons. Our franchisees constructed 44 salons and closed or sold back to us 174 salons, for a net decrease of 130 franchise salons during the quarter.

Additionally, we acquired 18 beauty schools and three hair restoration centers (including two franchise hair restoration centers buybacks). We built one beauty school and one hair restoration center and relocated or closed one beauty school and two hair restoration centers. As of March 31, 2006, we had 7,407 company owned salons, 3,739 franchise salons, 53 beauty schools and 90 hair restoration centers (48 company-owned and 42 franchise locations).

•Total debt at the end of the quarter was $597 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, was 41.6 percent, the same as the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

•On April 5, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors announced that it had terminated the Merger Agreement, dated January 10, 2006, whereby a subsidiary of Regis Corporation was to merge with the Sally Beauty Company business unit of Alberto-Culver Company. The Merger Agreement was terminated following Alberto-Culver’s announcement

21

that the Alberto-Culver Board of Directors had withdrawn its recommendation to the stockholders of Alberto-Culver that they approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company recognized in the third quarter, $5.7 million in acquisition related expenses previously incurred through March 31, 2006. The termination fee and additional acquisition related expenses are anticipated to result in a net pre-tax gain of approximately $39.0 million in the fourth quarter and $33.3 million for fiscal 2006.

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 third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2006, consolidated revenues increased 8.4 percent to $604.0 million and 12.1 percent to $1.8 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 March 31,
	Three Months						Nine Months
(Dollars in thousands)	2006			2005			2006			2005
North American salons:
Regis	$	120,183		$	118,461		$	360,977		$	353,788
MasterCuts	43,663			43,220			131,608			129,742

Total North American Salons	506,025			467,910			1,511,151			1,381,656
International salons (1)	51,846			54,257			156,413			161,592
Beauty schools	18,133			10,158			46,362			24,246
Hair restoration centers (1)	28,043			24,939			80,973			33,324
Consolidated revenues	$	604,047		$	557,264		$	1,794,899		$	1,600,818
Percent change from prior year	8.4		%	15.8		%	12.1		%	13.2		%
Salon same-store sales increase (2)	(0.4		)%	1.4		%	0.5		%	0.9		%

(1)Includes aggregate franchise royalties and fees of $19.1 and $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $57.8 and $58.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. North American salon franchise royalties and fees represented 50.1 and 49.2 percent of total franchise revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 50.5 and 51.2 percent of total franchise revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

(2)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 8.4 and 15.8 percent increases in consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 12.1 and 13.2 percent increases in consolidated revenues during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were driven by the following:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues
	For the Periods Ended March 31,
	Three Months				Nine Months
	2006		2005		2006		2005
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	3.9	%	12.0	%	8.1	%	8.3	%
Organic growth	5.6		3.6		5.0		4.3
Foreign currency	(0.4	)	0.8		(0.3	)	1.2
Franchise revenues	(0.1	)	—		(0.1	)	—
Closed salons	(0.6	)	(0.6	)	(0.6	)	(0.6	)
	8.4	%	15.8	%	12.1	%	13.2	%

23

We acquired 202 salons (including 154 franchise salon buybacks), eight hair restoration centers (including seven franchise buybacks) and 34 beauty schools during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006. The organic growth stemmed from the construction of 561 company-owned salons during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006. We closed 360 salons (including 238 franchise salons) during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006.

During the third quarter and first nine months 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, total service revenues were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended March 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage
Three Months
2006	$	407,064	$	38,383	10.4	%
2005	368,681		50,384		15.8
Nine Months
2006	$	1,197,311	$	132,048	12.4	%
2005	1,065,263		137,384		14.8

The growth in service revenues in the third quarter and first nine 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). However, the percentage increases over prior fiscal year decreased due to a shift in the Easter holiday from third quarter in fiscal 2005 to the fourth quarter in fiscal 2006, a same-store service sales decrease of 0.3 percent and an increase of 0.6 percent for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of fiscal year 2006, compared to increases of 2.1 percent and 1.3 percent for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of fiscal year 2005.

Product Revenues. Product revenues are primarily sales at company-owned salons, beauty schools, hair restoration centers and sales of product and equipment to franchisees. Total product revenues for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended March 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage
Three Months
2006	$	177,907	$	9,223	5.5	%
2005	168,684		24,003		16.6
Nine Months
2006	$	539,767	$	62,715	13.1	%
2005	477,052		45,269		10.5

The growth in product revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2006 was mainly due to acquisitions. The growth in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 was not as robust as the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due to a shift in the Easter holiday from third quarter in fiscal 2005 to the fourth quarter in fiscal 2006, as well as a same-store product sales decrease of 0.7 percent compared to a decrease of 0.1 percent in fiscal year 2005. The growth in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 was due to a same-store product sales increase of 0.4 percent compared to an increase of 0.1 percent in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

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 March 31,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage
Three Months
2006	$	19,076	$	(823	)	(4.1	)%
2005	19,899		1,504			8.2
Nine Months
2006	$	57,821	$	(682	)	(1.2	)%
2005	58,503		3,619			6.6

Total franchise locations open at March 31, 2006 and 2005 were 3,781 (including 42 franchise hair restoration centers) and 3,929 (including 49 franchise hair restoration centers), respectively. We purchased 161 (including 7 hair restoration centers) of our franchise salons during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006, which drove the overall decrease in the number of franchise salons between periods.

The decrease in consolidated franchise revenues during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily due to an unfavorable foreign currency fluctuation as well as 161 (including 7 hair restoration centers) franchise buybacks during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006.

The increase in consolidated franchise revenues during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to favorable foreign currency fluctuations, which caused franchise revenues to increase 2.9 and 3.8 percent, respectively. Exclusive of the effect of this favorable foreign currency fluctuation, consolidated franchise revenues increased 5.3 and 2.8 percent in the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005, respectively. These increases were primarily due to opening more new international franchise salons during the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 as compared to the first nine months of the prior fiscal year, as well as the acquisition of 49 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Total		Margin as % of Service and Product		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
March 31,	Margin		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	259,553	44.4	%	$	21,211	8.9	%	—

(1)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 third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006 was due to improved management of salon payroll. The improved margins were offset in part by increases in bank charges due to credit card usage.

The decrease in service margins during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005 was primarily related to increased salon payroll costs in the United Kingdom salons, as well as higher salon supply costs during the third quarter. Additionally, certain of our domestic salons experienced increased heath-related benefit costs.

Product Margin (Excluding Depreciation). Product margin for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Product		Margin as % of Product		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year

(1)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 decrease in product margins for the third quarter ended March 31, 2006, was primarily associated with price discounting related to repackaging efforts by suppliers of several top lines as well as increases in promotional sales activity and an unfavorable shift in the product mix due to the increased sales of hair care appliances which are lower margin products. The improvement in product margins for the first nine months ended March 31, 2006, was due to product sales at hair restoration centers, which have higher product margins than sales of retail products in salons.

The improvement in product margins for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2005 was due to the impact of product sales in the hair restoration centers, which have higher product margins than our salon business. This favorable impact was softened by an upward adjustment to the product usage amounts to reflect current trends towards the sale of higher-priced products and an increase to our slow-moving product reserve in response to changing product lines.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended	Site			Expense as % of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
March 31,	Operating			Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$		49,874	8.3	%	$	3,607		7.8	%	—

Nine Months
2006	$	149,702		8.3	%	$		15,383	11.5	%	(10	)
2005	134,319			8.4		14,637			12.2		(10	)

(1)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 during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, were relatively consistent with the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The basis point change in site operating expenses during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005, was primarily due to the addition of the hair restoration centers in December 2004, which have lower site operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. Additionally, advertising expenses were higher in the third quarter of the prior year stemming from the timing of a direct mail campaign.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended			Expense as % of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
March 31,	G&A		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	70,839	11.7	%	$	2,012	2.9	%	(70	)
2005	68,827		12.4		15,648		29.4		140
Nine Months
2006	$	216,081	12.0	%	$	25,448	13.3	%	10
2005	190,633		11.9		29,581		18.4		50

(1)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 third quarter of fiscal year 2006 was due to a decrease in salon and franchise advertising expense. As a percent of consolidated revenues, G&A costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2006, were relatively consistent with the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

The increase in G&A costs as a percent of total revenues during the third quarter and nine months ending March 31, 2005, was primarily due to increased professional fees related to the June 30, 2005 Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance effort and legal fees related to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Employee health-related benefit costs also increased throughout fiscal year 2005, as well as increased costs due to a new AS/400 computer operating lease. In addition, the hair restoration centers have slightly higher G&A costs as a percent of revenues due to the marketing-intensive nature of that business.

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
March 31,	Rent		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	87,176	14.4	%	$	8,598	10.9	%	30

2005	226,203		14.1		30,807		15.8		30

(1)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.

The increase in this fixed-cost expense as a percent of total revenues was primarily due to lower anticipated sales volume during the third quarter and nine months ending March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005.

27

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense (D&A) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended March 31,	D&A		Expense as % of Total Revenues		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
					Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	28,061	4.6	%	$	3,157	12.7	%	10

2005	65,464		4.1		10,601		19.3		20

(1)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 in this fixed cost category during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, was primarily due to reduced sales volume in the quarter.

The basis point increase during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005, was primarily due to amortization of intangible assets that we acquired in the acquisition of the hair restoration centers during the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

Interest

Interest expense was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Periods Ended			Expense as % of Total		Increase (Decrease) Over Prior Fiscal Year
March 31,	Interest		Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	8,937	1.5	%	$	1,910	27.2	%	20
2005	7,027		1.3		2,203		45.7		30
Nine Months
2006	$	25,861	1.4	%	$	9,059	53.9	%	40
2005	16,802		1.0		3,759		28.8		10

(1)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 third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, was primarily due to an increase in our debt level stemming from our acquisition activity, including beauty schools in fiscal year 2006 and hair restoration centers in fiscal year 2005.

Income Taxes

Our reported effective tax rate was as follows:

			Basis Point
Periods Ended March 31,	Effective Rate		Improvement (Deterioration)
Three Months
2006	37.4	%	18,000
2005	217.4		(18,170	)
Nine Months
2006	35.6	%	1,700
2005	52.6		(1,640	)

The improvement in our overall effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was related to the prior year goodwill impairment charge in the international salon segment, which is non-deductible for tax purposes.

28

Excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment charge in the international salon segment, the tax rate for the third quarter ended March 31, 2005 would have been 34.2 percent. Comparatively, the increase in the third quarter fiscal 2006 tax rate was primarily due to the elimination of the Work Opportunity Credits which expired on December 31, 2005.

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 third quarter and first nine 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 March 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage		Sales Increase
Three Months
2006	$	506,025	$	38,115	8.1	%	(0.3	)%
2005	467,910		39,982		9.3		1.5
Nine Months
2006	$	1,511,151	$	129,495	9.4	%	0.8	%
2005	1,381,656		118,257		9.4		0.8

The percentage increases (decreases) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, are due to the following factors:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues For the Periods Ended March 31, 2006
	Three Months		Nine Months
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	3.6	%	4.6	%
Organic growth	4.7		5.0
Foreign currency	0.3		0.3
Franchise revenues	(0.1	)	(0.1	)
Closed salons	(0.4	)	(0.4	)
	8.1	%	9.4	%

We acquired 192 North American salons during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006, including 153 franchise buybacks. The organic growth stemmed primarily from the construction of 531 company-owned salons in North America during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006. The foreign currency impact during the third quarter and first nine 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 third quarter and first nine 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
March 31,	Income		% of Total Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	61,230	12.1	%	$	3,297		5.7	%	(30	)
2005	57,933		12.4		(3,480		)	(5.7	)	(200	)
Nine Months
2006	$	193,988	12.8	%	$	12,109		6.7	%	(40	)
2005	181,879		13.2		(7,200		)	(3.8	)	(180	)

(1)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 decrease in North American salon operating income percentage during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006, is due to increased costs associated with the repackaging efforts by suppliers of several top lines, increases in promotional sales activity and an unfavorable shift in the product mix due to the increased sales of hair care appliances which are lower margin products.

The decrease in North American salon operating income during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005 was primarily related to decreased margins stemming from an upward adjustment to the usage percentage to reflect trends towards the sale of higher-priced products and an increase to our slow-moving product reserve in response to changing product lines. Additionally, increased salon supply costs and an adjustment to the weighted average cost associated with our private label product

32

line negatively impacted our product margins in the North American salons. Further, increased health-related benefit costs had a negative impact on North American operating income.

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 March 31,	Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Sales Increase (Decrease)
Three Months
2006	$	51,846	$	(2,411	)	(4.4	)%	(1.4	)
2005	54,257		4,676			9.4		0.4
Nine Months
2006	$	156,413	$	(5,179	)	(3.2	)%	(2.5	)
2005	161,592		21,059			15.0		2.9

The percentage increases (decreases) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, are due to the following factors:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues For the Periods Ended March 31, 2006
	Three Months		Nine Months
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	1.4	%	1.9	%
Organic growth	4.0		2.6
Foreign currency	(7.0	)	(4.9	)
Franchise revenues	(0.1	)	(0.3	)
Closed salons	(2.7	)	(2.5	)
	(4.4	)%	(3.2	)%

We acquired 10 (including one franchise buyback) international salons during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006. The organic growth stemmed from the construction of 30 company-owned international salons during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006 offset by International same-store sales decreases. The foreign currency impact during the third quarter and first nine 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 third quarter and first nine 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
March 31,	Income			% of Total Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	3,604		7.0	%	$	39,242		110.1	%	7,270
2005	(35,638		)	(65.7	)	(39,328		)	(1,065.8	)	(7,310	)
Nine Months
2006	$	10,465		6.7	%	$	33,707		145.0	%	2,110
2005	(23,242		)	(14.4	)	(36,597		)	(274.0	)	(2,390	)

(1)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 increase in International salon operating income during the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006 is primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge of $38.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. The increase year to date is partially offset by certain fixed cost categories, such as rent and site operating expenses, relative to negative third quarter same-store sales. Two factors that lead to the impairment charge included a continued trend toward longer hair styles and slower than expected growth of the European economy.

33

Beauty Schools

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

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended March 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage
Three Months
2006	$	18,133	$	7,975	78.5	%
2005	10,158		6,294		162.9
Nine Months
2006	$	46,362	$	22,116	91.2	%
2005	24,246		13,632		128.4

The percentage increases (decreases) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, are due to the following factors:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues For the Periods Ended March 31, 2006
	Three Months		Nine Months
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	22.3	%	67.4	%
Organic growth	58.1		25.6
Foreign currency	(1.9	)	(1.8	)
	78.5	%	91.2	%

We acquired 34 beauty schools during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006. The foreign currency impact during the third quarter and first nine 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 third quarter and first nine 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
March 31,	Income		% of Total Revenues		Dollar			Percentage		Basis Point(1)
Three Months
2006	$	2,189	12.1	%	$	(565	)	(20.5	)%	(1,500	)
2005	2,754		27.1		1,062			62.8		(1,670	)
Nine Months
2006	$	7,311	15.8	%	$	938		14.7	%	(1,050	)
2005	6,373		26.3		2,273			55.4		(1,230	)

(1)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.

The decrease in Beauty School operating income during the third quarter ended March 31, 2006 is primarily due to an increase in marketing expenditures to bolster future enrollment, as well as increased expenditures in student training materials. The year-over-year fluctuations in beauty school operating income stem primarily from our integration of the new beauty schools.

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 29 during fiscal year 2006.

Hair Restoration Centers

Hair Restoration Revenues. Total hair restoration revenues were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)			Increase Over Prior Fiscal Year
Periods Ended March 31,	Revenues		Dollar		Percentage
Three Months
2006	$	28,043	$	3,104	12.4	%

2005 (1)	33,324		N/A		N/A

(1)   We did not own or operate any hair restoration centers until December 2004.

The percentage increases (decreases) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006, are due to the following factors:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Revenues For the Periods Ended March 31, 2006
	Three Months		Nine Months
Acquisitions (previous twelve months)	7.4	%	138.5	%
Organic growth	5.0		4.5

(1)Represents the basis point change in hair restoration operating income as a percent of total hair restoration revenues as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

(2)   We did not own or operate any hair restoration centers until December 2004.

The decrease in Hair Restoration operating income during the third quarter ended March 31, 2006 as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative and depreciation expenses. The year-over-year fluctuations in hair restoration centers operating income stem primarily from our integration of the new hair restoration centers and organic growth.

As discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we acquired Hair Club for Men and Women in December 2004.

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(1)
March 31, 2006	41.6	140
June 30, 2005	43.0	(1,240	)

The improvement in the debt to capitalization ratio during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 was due to the 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 March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Total		$ Increase Over		% Increase Over
Date	Assets		Prior Period(1)		Prior Period(1)
March 31, 2006	$	1,894,067	$	168,091	9.7	%
June 30, 2005	1,725,976		454,117		35.7

Acquisitions and organic growth were the primary drivers of the increase in total assets between June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2006.

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Shareholders’		$ Increase Over		% Increase Over
Date	Equity		Prior Period(1)		Prior Period(1)
March 31, 2006	$	838,527	$	83,815	11.1	%
June 30, 2005	754,712		72,692		10.7

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, equity increased primarily as a result of net income, additional paid-in capital 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.

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

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was $178.5 and $171.4 million, respectively. The cash flows from operating activities were a result of the following:

	Operating Cash Flows For the Nine Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2006			2005
Net income	$	68,063		$	35,126
Depreciation and amortization	81,216			65,464
Deferred income taxes	3,824			(2,237		)
Inventories	(11,142		)	(14,325		)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	27,235			41,429
Goodwill impairment	—			38,319
Other	9,321			7,645
	$	178,517		$	171,421

During the first nine 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 $186.3 and $373.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005, respectively, was the result of the following:

	Investing Cash Flows For the Nine Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2006			2005
Salon and school acquisitions	$	(87,456	)	$	(92,523	)
Hair restoration center acquisition	(6,304		)	(211,028		)
Capital expenditures for new construction	(35,001		)	(33,129		)
Capital expenditures for remodels or other additions	(42,394		)	(25,736		)
Capital expenditures for the corporate office (including all technology-related expenditures)	(15,754		)	(12,009		)
Proceeds from the sale of assets	640			705
	$	(186,269	)	$	(373,720	)

We constructed 409 company-owned salons, one beauty school and one hair restoration center and acquired 154 company-owned salons (137 of which were franchise buybacks), 29 beauty schools and eight hair restoration centers (seven of which were franchise buybacks) during the first nine 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:

	Nine Months Ended March 31, 2006
	Constructed	Acquired
Regis Salons	27	2
MasterCuts	24	—
Trade Secret	26	2
SmartStyle	163	—
Strip Center	143	7
International	26	6
Beauty schools	1	29
Hair restoration centers	1	1
	411	47

Additionally, we completed 128 major remodeling projects during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 compared to 145 during the first nine months of fiscal year 2005.

37

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $22.4 and $233.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 and 2005, respectively, was the result of the following:

	Financing Cash Flows For the Nine Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2006			2005
Net borrowings on revolving credit facilities	$	32,250		$	152,435
Proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt	3,075			100,755
Repayments of long-term debt	(19,559		)	(18,763		)
Proceeds from the issuance of common stock	10,528			14,714
Repurchase of common stock	—			(11,482		)
Tax benefit from employee stock plans	3,644			—
Dividend paid	(5,435		)	(5,346		)
Other	(2,055		)	734
	$	22,448		$	233,047

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 nine months of fiscal year 2006 consisted of 144 franchise buybacks, 17 other acquired corporate and franchise salons, 29 acquired beauty schools and one hair restoration center. The acquisitions during the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 consisted of 122 franchise buybacks, 281 other acquired corporate and franchise salons, eight 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 March 31, 2006 market price, the Company would be required to provide an additional 175,518 shares with an aggregate market value on that date of $6.1 million related to these acquisition contingencies if the agreed upon time frames were all assumed to have expired March 31, 2006.

During the fourth quarter in fiscal year 2005, 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. 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.

38

Prior to March 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 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 $1.1 million at March 31, 2006, 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 nine 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 $0.12 per share during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006. On April 27, 2006, our Board of Directors declared a $0.04 per share quarterly dividend payable May 26, 2006 to shareholders of record on May 12, 2006.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors 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 Board of Directors 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 March 31, 2006, a total of 2.4 million shares have been repurchased for $76.5 million with $123.5 million remaining to be repurchased under this program. All repurchased shares are immediately retired. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date.

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 approximately 56,000 corporate employees world-wide, our financial results can be adversely impacted by regulatory or statutory changes in laws.

39

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.

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 Education Department (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.

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 March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, the Company had the following outstanding debt balances, considering the effect of interest rate swaps and including $1.5 and $2.5 million related to the fair value swaps at March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively:

	March 31,		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2006		2005
Fixed rate debt	$	471,875	$	413,526
Floating rate debt	125,000		155,250
	$	596,875	$	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 March 31, 2006, with maturation dates of March 2013 and March 2015. These swaps were designated and are effective as cash flow hedges.

On February 1, 2006, the Company entered into several forward foreign currency contracts with maturation dates between July 2006 and January 2007, totaling $3.5 million Canadian dollars. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006.

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 March 31, 2006. Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

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 over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter based on 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. As of March 31, 2006, a total of 2.4 million shares have been repurchased for $76.5 million with $123.5 million remaining to be repurchased under this program. All repurchased shares are immediately retired. This repurchase program has no stated expiration date.

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

			Total Number of	Approximate Dollar
			Shares Purchased	Value of Shares that
